Cover Reveal: TWINED BOND by Emma Hart

TWINED BOND
by Emma Hart
Holly Wood #7

All is well in Holly Woods. My best friend's love triangle is now a happy little circle. My sister-in-law just gave birth to my gorgeous new niece who is the world's best cuddler, and Nonna's not on my back every ten minutes about the fact we're getting married in one month. Supposedly. Until the mayor's niece—our baker for the wedding—commits suicide. At least, that's what the note says. My gut says we're talking a different kind of 'cide.' My gut also says I should stay well away, and in the interest of Drake's sanity, I plan to. But when life throws you an unexpected curveball... Sometimes the best laid plans need tearing up. Even if you don't mean to do it. Happily ever after... If Holly Woods survives this.    (Twined Bond is the seventh and final book in the Holly Woods Files series, and picks up roughly nine months after the end of Burning Bond. It cannot be read as a standalone, but may require tissues.)

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

By day, New York Times and USA Today bestselling New Adult author Emma Hart dons a cape and calls herself Super Mum to two beautiful little monsters. By night, she drops the cape, pours a glass of whatever she fancies - usually wine - and writes books.

Emma is working on Top Secret projects she will share with her followers and fans at every available opportunity. Naturally, all Top Secret projects involve a dashingly hot guy who likes to forget to wear a shirt, a sprinkling (or several) of hold-onto-your-panties hot scenes, and a whole lotta love.  She likes to be busy - unless busy involves doing the dishes, but that seems to be when all the ideas come to life.

Book Review: SEARCHING FOR DISASTER by Jennifer Probst

Searching for Disaster
by Jennifer Probst
Searching For #4.6

About the Book
When Isabella MacKenzie tries to move on from her disastrous past, Officer William Devine is determined to show her that love is the only way to heal. This sexy enovella, the final installment in Jennifer Probst’s heartwarming Searching For series, follows the high-powered women of the popular matchmaking agency Kinnections, located in the small, picturesque town of Verily, NY. 

REVIEW
Jennifer Probst’s books remind me of delicious chocolate cake. Bursting with flavor, decadently rich, the Searching For series is very satisfying.  Searching for Disaster is slightly different in flavor and approach.  This story is more like a delicate pastry.  It is multi-layered and delicate with subtle tastes.  By book 4.6 we are familiar with the town of Verity, and we know how Kinnections works, but Izzy and Liam have a different kind of story to tell.  

Izzy and Liam meet 6 years prior, before her drug addiction and his entrance into the police academy.  They reunite at Kinnections where she is a receptionist and he is an officer with the Verity police department.  Neither is able to forget that night together and the attraction is immediate, but Izzy is very conscious of how fragile her recovery can be and does not want to re-introduce a factor from her past that might cause her to backslide.  However, little by little, Liam wins her over with his patience and honesty.  She does not fall easily and he has to win her trust.  I also really liked the fact that she does not feel the need to “name the relationship”, in other words, she does not need to label what they have.  She does worry that she might not be good enough for him, so she proceeds cautiously, one day at a time.  

Liam is used to things that are precise, controlled, and neat.  However, with Izzy, he is more interested in the road less travelled. Izzy is a recovering drug addict and needs a different kind of approach.  He appreciates the way she genuinely and honesty faces her life:  

“He’d realized imprefectness had a rough beauty about it, especially when people held a willingness to see the truth about themselves. . . . She never flinched when she told him her story, owning her mistakes as well as her triumphs.” 

Who does not admire someone who is willing to do the work to achieve something with depth and resilience? 

I love the Search For series.  The emotions, the dramatic storylines, the memorable characters, and the dogs (oh, the dogs), make these stories soul-satisfying.  Nice ending, Ms. Probst.  A very nice ending, indeed.

Blog Tour: WICKED BOND by Sawyer Bennett

Wicked Bond  by Sawyer Bennett  (The Wicked Horse Series Book #5)  Release Date: September 13, 2016
Synopsis: Bridger Payne is an enigma that no one can figure out. Wise beyond his years, eerily intuitive and sexy as hell, every woman in The Silo wants him. None can have him. Not the real man, anyway. He might wield the lash for you if you ask prettily, but he’ll get no gratification from it. He’ll definitely make you scream, but he won’t think twice about you when he walks away. Bridger carries the darkest of secrets. He’s filled with too much pain. He’s utterly untouchable. Until she came along. 

**Warning: this book has sex in it. Lots of sex. Dirty sex. The Wicked Horse Series is a bit different than what Sawyer Bennett normally writes. While you’ll still enjoy fabulous characters, a suspenseful story, some witty banter and an epic romance, there’s just… a lot of sex. You’ve been warned.

REVIEW:
Wicked Bond is book is book 5, the final book in the Wicked Horse series.  This is Bridger's highly anticipated story.  Throughout the series, Bridger is the mysterious one.  His character stands on out on so many levels.  What is striking to me is that in the environment of The Silo,  a sex club, where patrons are encouraged to be emotionally free and judgement is suspended, Bridger is quite the opposite.  He is always in control. He never lets go.  He holds an almost impenetrable fortress around his emotions, even during sex.  He is the ultimate Fantasy Maker, but he does not seem to fully indulge himself.  Sex for Bridge is merely an physical release never an emotional one.  In Wicked Bond, we learn why.  

Into Bridger very carefully constructed life comes Maggie Waylon.  Maggie is rescued by Kyle Sommerville, who has been working as an undercover ATF agent investigating Mayhem's Mission motorcycle gang.  Maggie was being tortured by Kayla, the wife of the head of the club, Zeke. (Readers may also remember Kyle Sommerville from the author's Shaken, Not Stirred story in the Last Call series.)  Kyle is not ready to bring down the gang just yet, but he needs to get Maggie to safety.  He brings her to Bridger's house where he knows the gang is least likely to look.  

Maggie falls into the MC crowd when she is tagged by Zeke at a bar.  He brings her into the club and she stays because she really has no where else to go.  Being alienated from her family, Maggie wanders from place to place before settling at the club.  After an incident with a broken condom, Belle is born and Maggie realizes that she does not want her daughter to be raised in this environment and escapes.  She manages to hide her daughter successfully, but she is captured and tortured.  

To start with, it is wonderful to see Bridger get his happily ever after.  The epilogue is heart-warming and beautiful. After learning about Bridger's past, how he finally gets to the place is rewarding.  This is what I expect from Sawyer Bennett.  I seek and always find a purity to her love stories (which I realize is a little odd considering the premise of all the Wicked stories revolve around a sex club).  Bridger, in particular, is emotionally stunted because of his background of abuse. He uses the club to remind himself that sex is positive and can be engaged without shame.  

I am more conflicted about Maggie as a partner to Bridger.  Maggie is eager to help Bridger break through his emotional barriers.  She encourages and coaxes him to stretch the limits of his boundaries.  My biggest critique is that although Maggie is very sweet, she allows Bridger to exploit her.  As a reader, we get it.  We understand why Bridger is the way that he is. However, that does not mitigate against the fact that he is constantly hurting her.  I want her to stand up for herself more. I imagined Bridger with a stronger partner and a more confident stature.  Luckily, she does eventually find her own footing and voice.  It's only then that Bridger is forced to make changes in his own life.  He is does a pretty good grovel, but she is already primed to accept him back, so he does not have to try very hard.  

Speaking of boundaries, the sex in the this book, although abundant, seems rather tame in relation to the other books.  In the other stories, the men of The Silo introduce and their partners to explore and stretch their traditional notion of sex.  They teach their women to challenge traditional notions of intercourse and let go of their inhibitions. Strangely enough, that does not happen so much here.  Maggie is less willing to explore and Bridger is hesitant to take her there.  For Bridger, his relationship with Maggie is more about moving away from needing The Silo, so it is a departure from the others in the series.  

All in all, this has been a fun series read. The Wicked Horse series is emotionally impactful and highly entertaining with the Sawyer Bennett twist.   

About the Author:  Since the release of her debut contemporary romance novel, Off Sides, in January 2013, Sawyer Bennett has released more than 30 books and has been featured on both the USA Today and New York Times bestseller lists on multiple occasions. A reformed trial lawyer from North Carolina, Sawyer uses real life experience to create relatable, sexy stories that appeal to a wide array of readers. From new adult to erotic contemporary romance, Sawyer writes something for just about everyone. Sawyer likes her Bloody Mary’s strong, her martinis dirty, and her heroes a combination of the two. When not bringing fictional romance to life, Sawyer is a chauffeur, stylist, chef, maid, and personal assistant to a very active toddler, as well as full-time servant to two adorably naughty dogs. She believes in the good of others, and that a bad day can be cured with a great work-out, cake, or a combination of the two.
