Alphachat.com – That’s all the info you need to get off in the privacy of your own home, car or hell… even in a public fucking library.

  Whatever gets you wet.

  I never expected a million-dollar business to come out of touching myself on camera, but when you add in nine of your best guys, the women become hungry and the money begins flowing faster than you can spend it.

You want to see me take my shirt off, I’ll strip it off nice and slow, making you sweat in anticipation.

You want to see me touch my dick, I’ll stroke every hard inch of it, getting you off before you can even feel it creeping up on you.

Your money.

Your Alpha.

Your demand.

Now I just hope playing for her on camera will pay off enough for me to claim her outside of the computer screen.

Excerpt

Rebel

The email came in at three o’clock today, letting me know that Lynx Kade has an opening tonight at midnight and I have until eleven thirty to confirm or deny.

  “Shit, what do I do?” I look up at the clock to see that I have less than five minutes to make my decision.

  My whole body is screaming to click the accept button, but my head is telling me that this whole thing is crazy… and dirty.

     Extremely dirty… but exciting. I need excitement.

  Swallowing, I make a rash decision, knowing that time is running out and I have no clue if I’ll get another opportunity if I decline.

  Remi made it very clear that this Lynx guy has a waiting list and can sometimes take weeks or even months to get a private session.

  He has to be good. At least for my aching body’s sake; let’s hope.

  Hitting accept, I fight to catch my breath the whole time, while typing in my credit card info. I can’t believe that I’m actually paying $700 for fifteen minutes of play with some guy.

  “I’m insane. I have to be.”

  Quickly shutting down the desktop computer, I rush to my room for privacy and take a seat at my desk, opening up my laptop and starting it.

     Reaching for my bottle of water, I undo the lid and take a huge gulp, while logging back into the site and watching as the minutes countdown to midnight.

  The closer it gets to midnight, the dirtier, but more excited I feel.

  I can’t deny that it gives me a rush, knowing that I’m about to watch some stranger touch himself for me.

  “Oh fuck… Oh fuck.” I suck in a deep breath once it counts down to the last minute. “I’m really doing this.”

  In a panic, I double check to make sure that I have both the volume and the screen turned off so I can stay completely anonymous.

  I calm down a little and take a deep breath in just enough time for a picture to come up on the screen of a black, leather couch.

  After a few seconds, a hard, muscled body appears in front of the screen, before my boss’ face comes into view.

  “Oh my fucking God!” My hands go up to cover my mouth as I watch him adjust his computer, before taking a seat on the couch.  I can’t believe my boss does this on the side and that I’m about to see everything he has to offer.

  He’s wearing a black V-neck shirt that is clinging to every muscle and a pair of sweats, showing off his muscular thighs. His hair is messy and he looks so damn good that I want to taste him.

  “I see you’re a first timer,” his husky voice comes through, making my thighs clench. “Tell me what you want me to do.”

  “I’m not doing this. I’m not doing this.” I begin typing, unable to stop myself. “I am doing this… I can’t believe I’m doing this.”

     Badgirl@heart- Take your shirt off, please.

     A sexy smirk appears on his face. “No need to be nice.”

  Standing up, he grips the back of his shirt and slowly pulls it over his head, exposing the sexiest, firmest chest I’ve ever laid eyes on.

  “Oh. My. God.”

  Tossing his shirt aside, he lifts a brow and lowers the waist of his sweats, just enough to expose the very defined muscles, leading down to the bulge that I’ve been dying to see.  My eyes are glued to the tattoos across his lower stomach as I lean closer to read, “Veni.  Vidi.  Vici.”  I know exactly what that means.  I came.  I saw.  I conquered.  Holy fuck that’s hot.

  “What now, BadGirl@heart? You going to show me just how fucking bad you can be?”

  My heart’s beating so damn hard as I type this next part, that I have to erase it a few times and rewrite it because I keep messing up.

     BadGirl@heart- Slowly run your hands down your abs and then lower your sweats.

     “So bad girl likes it slow… and hopefully hard.”

  Starting with his defined chest, he slowly and teasingly runs his hands down his body, going lower until he reaches his abs.  He then grips the top of his sweats, teasing me and making me go crazy for him to hurry up and just lower them out of the damn way.

  I’m practically sitting on top of my laptop at this point, licking the damn screen.

  His body is even more beautiful than I’d imagined. Every dip of muscles has me aching to run my lips over it.

  Sliding his tongue over his bottom lip, he pulls it into his mouth and slides it between his teeth, while lowering his sweats enough to see that he’s not wearing anything beneath.

  I instantly start fanning myself off, while watching him lower it further down to expose the base of his thick, hard shaft.

  “There’s not much stopping you from seeing my cock now. It’s already hard and waiting for you to tell me what to do with it.”

  “Oh my fucking… oh shit. I’m about to see my boss’ dick. This is against all the fucking rules, but I want it so bad.”

     BadGirl@heart- Take your sweats off. I want to see you touch your dick for me.

   I can’t believe I’m doing this or that I just said that to him.

  Smiling big now, he turns the other way and lets his sweats lower to his feet, giving me a full on view of his very sexy, muscular ass.

  I see him move his legs, stepping out of his sweats, before he kicks them aside. Then he squirts something in his hand and his arms move as if he’s stroking himself. His muscles flex and so do mine as I watch him.

  “Hope you’re naked by this point. If not…” he lets out a husky laugh. “You’re going to want to be.”

My review

I will start out by saying HOLY HOTNESS! This book just oozes sexiness! With Victoria and Hilary teamed up, this book is just untouchable. Just reading the synopsis alone, I knew this was going to be hot! I have yet to read anything by Hilary yet, but I will now!! If you have read anything by Victoria before you shoud know what to expect......total and utter sexiness and this amazing book gives you just that. From the first page, you will be hooked. Trust me.

The story starts off introducing Rebel who works from home running her own business, web design. She is in search of a job that gets her away from the screen for a bit. Getting a job bartending at Club Royal, owned and run by Lynx, will work just fine.

“You are so fucking sexy right now. You come in here looking like pure innocence and all I want to do is pull sin straight from your body.”

Her best friend Remy tells her about this hawt as hell website Alphachat.com, where sexy as sin men show their goodies. There is a delicious man named Lynx Kade, who has a waiting list a mile long but is well worth the wait. Funny enough Remy put Rebel's name on the waiting list. One night she decided to check out this site where sexy as sin alpha men are pictured all over except the infamous Lynx, as she is perusing the merchandise a spot from Lynx's opened up and she gets a private show. 

Lynx consumes me and now all I'm trying to do is find a breath in the chaos he's caused in my life. 

Lynx Kade started alpha hat as a side business to bring in enough money to fix his bike. Who knew it would turn into a multi million dollars business. Not only did alphachat.com grow to be the most desired website, but now he runs and owns Club Royal and just bought a house big enough to fit all the boys of alphachat.com. Lynx is a smooth, tell it like it is, no filter, dirty as hell man who has a new obsession......Rebel.

My review:

5 stars

I was offered this book I return for an honest review. For starters, I am soooooo glad I decided to read this book. I have read a lot of books and this one is not like any others that I have read before. I was very impressed. Rachel gives you this great storyline, paired with amazing characters. The main characters of this story are Cole and Kennedy and you instantly fall in love with them. Without getting to descriptive because I severely dislike spoilers in my reviews, Kennedy is running away from a gruesome past and finds herself living at Coles house. The initial meeting of the two is quite comical, but eventually a strong bond is formed and a beautiful relationship begins. 

Kennedy's past soon catches up with her future and things become very bumpy between the two. It is an emotional ride from beginning to end, one oh my god.....the cliffhanger ending.....Rachel girl we need to chat! I'm still reeling from how you left it and I am very patiently waiting for the next book. 

I am officially a fan for life and will now stalk you! I look forward to working with you more. Thank you so much for allowing me to read this amazing story. 

Synopsis:

Kennedy Harrison finds refuge in Newport after escaping a tragic past. Taken in and protected by her kind caring rescuer Jocelyn, she soon finds an undeniable connection with her son Cole.

Cole -The hot athletic guy with the insanely gorgeous girlfriend. Awkward encounters and sharing a house together proves harder than it sounds. The energy and spark between them is undeniable, as feelings grow deep for the girl who has never really known, or understood the meaning of love.

Adjusting to her new found life and the difficulties of school cause a reaction in Kennedy that Cole just doesn’t understand. The nightmares of her past haunt her and all Cole can do is to comfort her, the attraction deepening with each episode. Cole is desperate to know more about Kennedy, everything about who she is and where she comes from remains a mystery to him! Kennedy is too scared to open up about her past; scared she will ruin what she has developing with Cole and that revealing her true self will only push him away.

As events unfold and their relationship develops outside of the friend zone, Kennedy’s past comes back to haunt her, threatening the foundation of her growing love for Cole. Cole struggles with the truth and doesn’t know if he can be the man that Kennedy so desperately needs in her life. Cole is torn, but thoughts of losing her plague his mind.

Will their love be enough, or will the past ruin any chance of a possible future together?

Excerpt:

I wake to nothing but the sound of beeping.

Am I dead? 

My head feels like it’s been slammed against the ground a thousand times. I can’t move my body. What the hell happened to me? Think Kennedy, what’s the last thing you can remember? I slowly open my eyes, wincing at the bright lights, carefully taking in my surroundings. I look to the right and realize the source of the beeping is a machine attached to my chest. I look around and see four white walls and all I can smell is disinfectant. That’s when it dawns on me; I am in a hospital. Everything comes crashing back and the memories flood my mind. How far did I get? Who was it that found me? Were they here to take me back? 

I hear voices coming from outside the room and panic instantly grips me. Inside my head I’m screaming. I won’t go back; I can’t go back. I’m careful not to let anything slip from my mouth; I don’t want them to hear me. I can hear my heart beating; it feels like it’s coming out of my chest. The machine starts to beep faster which causes me to panic even more. Desperately clutching at the wires attached to my chest, I rip them off one by one; flinching at the burning sensation it leaves on my skin. I look down to see the one last obstacle attaching me to the bed. A needle in the vein of my arm connected to a drip. I hear knocking at the door. I stop dead in my tracks, stop breathing completely. This is it, it’s over. 

I look over as it slowly opens. It’s a woman and she is smiling. She is dressed immaculately and has the most amazing fresh face and curly brown shoulder length hair. 

Why is she here? Who is she?

“Hello Kennedy, how are you feeling?”

The panic inside me intensifies as this unfamiliar face walks towards me. I suddenly begin to cry and start shouting, “No! Please let me go, they will find me here, you have to let me go!” 

The unknown woman walks closer to me, small steps at a time, reaching her hand towards me she sweetly whispers, “Kennedy you are safe now. My name is Jocelyn and I’m here to help you; please let me help you.” 

There is a genuine sound of care and the smooth tone to her voice has a mild calming effect on me. A thousand thoughts run through my mind. How did I get here and where exactly am I? All I remember is running, escaping and the tremendous fear of trying to break free. The woman named Jocelyn points to the chair at the side of the hospital bed. “Do you mind if I sit?” she asks. “Maybe we could talk a while? I can see you’re upset and I really want to help; try to understand. Do you know where you are Kennedy?”

“Why would you want to help me? You don’t even know me! I don’t deserve your help! Just let me out of here,” I lash out.

My breaths are short and shallow and I feel like the walls are closing in on me. I look around searching for an escape route; maybe an open window.

“Nobody is keeping you here. You are at Hoag Hospital Newport Beach and we are trying to help you. You were in such a terrible state when I found you Kennedy; unconscious, covered in blood and near death.”

She found me. Did I get far enough? Did I actually succeed?

New Release: Something For The Pain by Victoria Ashley

Description:

Tempting, inked and highly addictive. Alex is all that and more… I’ve made a lot of mistakes – ones I’m not proud of, and definitely ones that have left their marks both mentally and physically. Things got lonely; I got lost in my own fucked up mind and in the end it left me fucked out of my mind and unable to fight – or at least win. That life’s over for me and I’ve moved on. Six months into tattooing at Blue’s and already I’m the most wanted and sought out tattooist. My biggest clientele consists of women. They come into the shop, end up in my bed and we both come out happy. It’s been my release since I’ve stopped fighting. It’s become part of the “new” me. But when Tripp reappears in my life, I can’t deny the fact that I would do anything for that girl. So when she asks me to move in with her and her ‘boyfriend’ – our other childhood friend – I never expected for things to get so fucked up and twisted that I would find myself only more attracted to her by each passing second or wanting to protect her from everything that isn’t me. I have worked so hard over the years to suppress my feelings for her but when I find out that her and Lucas have been having an open relationship, I have the strong urge to rip his heart straight from his chest – to destroy the very thing that keeps him breathing. What I didn’t expect was for Lucas to ask what he did. For him to ask me to do the one thing I have secretly longed for since I was old enough to know what the need was. The second thing I never expected was the look of need that I saw in Tripp’s eyes when he asked. One night of free passion could change our lives forever.  I never said that was a good thing either…

Victoria Ashley has created another sexy, steamy, compelling and emotional story.  This is a story about Alex Carter and Trip Daniels and their undying friendship. They will drop anything at the drop of a hat for each and now that friendship line becomes blurred. 

"I hear the door close before I feel his body pressed against mine. He's so close, yet not close enough. I Want him to touch me. I crave it. Just once."

Something For The Pain is book 2 in the Pain series and holy hell this book does not disappoint. If you love Memphis' story then hold on to your shirts because Alex's' story will blow you away. Alex and Tripp have been friends since they were 8, her was her first kiss. So cute right? Well that was the moment where things started to get fuzzy. She has always been in love with Alex but since their friendship meant so much to her she never acted on it. Instead she became the one that he confided in. For two people who are just friends, you can tell there is a TON of sexual tension, flirting galore and sexy dirty talk. When an opportunity is brought to light and tests their true feelings everything is put on the line, their friendship and their heart.  I LOVE IT!

"I cover my mouth as a loud gasp escapes, sucking the air straight out of my lungs. I try to turn away so I can leave, but my body seems to be frozen in place as Alex stalks toward me with pure fire in his gray eyes. Stopping in front of me, he grips the back of my head and before I can even register what is happening, he crushes his lips to mine, causing me to almost fall over."

Missing Memphis and Lyric? Don't worry, their in the mix too.

This is a must read for all those that love a sexy story. Go on....one click it now!!

Excerpt:

I’m in my room getting ready when I hear the shower turn on. The party starts in about fifteen minutes so Alex must be getting ready too. Just out of curiosity, I walk over to the bathroom door and turn the handle. It moves, but I don’t push it open. It’s unlocked. That thought excites me, making me realize that he didn’t care enough to lock it, and knowing that I could walk in at any time and see him naked elevates my core temp a little. I just find that to be so damn hot. That’s an open invitation… right? I release the handle and suck in a small breath when I hear him moan out, followed by what sounds like his hand slapping against the shower wall. Oh. My. God. That is the sexiest sound I have ever heard. That low, deep growl is all it takes to get me wet. Collecting myself, I back away from the door and take a deep breath. My legs feel shaky. “Don’t do this right now, Tripp. Dammit, don’t do this.” Shaking it off, I go back to stand in front of the mirror one last time, questioning the way I look in my newest little dress. Dresses are my thing. It doesn’t matter how many I own, I can never have enough. Plus, I love the way Alex looks at me every time he sees me in a new dress. His wandering eyes always cause my heart to flutter out of my chest. I just hope this little red dress is enough to get his attention. I’m in the middle of turning around to check out my ass, when I hear the bathroom door open, followed by a whistle. Please be naked…. What am I saying? Don’t be naked. Cautiously, I turn my head toward the bathroom door, with my eyes squinted, to see Alex standing there in a towel. He looks so damn sexy that I feel as if all the air has been sucked from my lungs. My chest aches as I stare him up and down, watching as the water drips from his beautiful, tattooed body. He checks me out with a smirk before whistling again. “Damn, Firecracker. That dress was made just for you.” He places his hand over the bulge in his towel and bites his bottom lip. “You look beautiful. Stop second-guessing yourself. I’ll see you downstairs in five.” He turns around, pulling the towel away right before he closes the door behind him. My mouth drops open from the glimpse of his ass that I am left with. It’s so firm and perfect that all I can think about is biting it… and the way it flexed when he walked. Is it normal for an ass to look that good? “I hate you sometimes,” I whisper. “Who do you hate sometimes?” I shake my head and look at my doorway to see Lucas standing there, dressed in a black shirt and a pair of gray shorts. He raises his eyebrows, waiting for my response. “No one.” I walk over to him and plaster on my best smile, trying to pretend that I’m not still thinking about those sounds I heard coming from the shower. “I was talking to myself. Just second-guessing my outfit, I guess.” Wrapping his arms around me, he kisses my shoulder and brushes my hair behind my ear. “Well, I would have loved to see you in a pair of short shorts and a tank top tonight, but this dress works too.” I roll my eyes before pulling away from him and bumping him out of the way with my hip. “I didn’t feel like wearing shorts, Lucas. This dress makes me feel good. If I feel good, then I have a good time and enjoy myself. That’s all I want tonight.” “Me too, baby,” he responds. “We’re going to have a lot of fun. Trust me.”

Book Review: Shipwrecked With The Billionaire Rock Star by Victoria Wessex

Shipwrecked with The Billionaire Rock Star

By Victoria Wessex

Reviewed by Sandra Long

5 STARS

Adam Sykes, bad boy singer with the rock band Iron Hammer, loves to party. When his latest escapade ends in arrest, he’s packed off by his manager to a private yacht to lay low. 

Fiery ship’s chef Hannah is proud of her curvy body…and she has a tongue as sharp as her knives. She has no time for arrogant rock stars, even when they’re billionaires. So when Adam makes a pass at her, she rejects him. 

Now he’s fascinated. 

When the yacht is caught in a storm, the pair are stranded on a desert island and must rely on each other to survive. As the days pass, the friction between them threatens to ignite into lust…but Hannah’s been hurt before. Can she learn to trust a man with Adam’s reputation? Can he prove he’s changed? 

As they battle to control their feelings, new dangers emerge. Even if they can escape the island, their troubles may be just beginning….

Hannah had been left at the altar by a man she thought was her true love. She went on her honeymoon to the islands alone and stayed, to try to get over the pain and shame of what had happened to her. She was a professional chef with big plans but was now sharing an apartment with 4 other people who worked temp jobs on ships.

She got a call to fill in for a chef who had become ill the day a yacht was to sail with a famous rock star. Hannah's self confidence as to her looks and attractiveness to men had been destroyed by her wedding disaster but one thing she was sure of was her cooking skills. She also needed money to pay her bills so she took the job and packed mostly her cooking tools for the short trip.

She was star struck by the singer whose name was Adam. He was the lead singer and song writer for a famous rock group and had a world famous reputation for bedding every woman he ever met and never being serious about any of them. He was also ridiculously wealthy.

Hannah's orders were to stay away from him and stick to her cooking duties. Before they set sail his band and manager came aboard for a farewell party, bringing lots of liquor, drugs and women for the party. In spite of her instructions, Hannah spied on the party and what she saw was Adam looking bored and out of it. Simone, the ship's hostess who had been very short with Hannah, surprisingly came to Hannah's room after the party to bring her a glass of champagne to celebrate Adam's successful birthday party and the cake Hannah had baked for him. Hannah accepted the drink but poured it down her sink. Looking out her porthole she saw a horrible looking storm up ahead but after the band and guests left the ship and the motors started, she went to bed, tired and sure that the captain would steer away from the storm.

Hours later Hannah woke up to find the ship in the midst of the storm and filling with water. The ship seemed to be deserted and a lifeboat was missing. She found Adam passed out in his cabin and had difficulty waking him but was finally able to and telling him to grab what he could, she did the same thing and they took another lifeboat and managed to survive the storm when they washed up on a deserted beach, with their few possessions and Adam's pet cat.

Spending time alone on the beach, trying to survive and trying to figure out what happened, a relationship was almost a foregone conclusion but how long would it last once they were rescued, if they were ever rescued. They also had a lot of time to try to figure out what had happened to everyone else on the ship and why they had been left behind to drown. They began to realize that they were intended to die on that voyage and that both had been intended to be drugged to make sure they did not wake up in time to get off the sinking ship. If Hannah had drunk the champagne they would both be dead. Part of the ship washed up and they boarded it to salvage what they could and saw that the radio and distress signal had been deliberately destroyed before the crew abandoned the ship, leaving Adam and Hannah to die. Who had planned their deaths and why ? Would they ever be rescued ? If they were rescued, would the killer/killers try again ? Would the love they found on the island survive back in the real world ?

This book is much too short only because the reader wants it to last longer. It is very well written and has the right mix of love. intrigue, danger and adventure to keep the reader locked in from the first paragraph to the last. Five stars for this one and can't wait to read more by this author.

I live and work in London--yes, I do have a day job (quite a boring one).

I write steamy, funny romance, often featuring curvy heroines.
