Don’t sleep with the nanny.

The one rule I swore to myself that I would obey. As a United States Naval Officer and a pilot for the world famous Blue Angels, I always play by the rules.

Hell, I make the rules.

And I never break them

Until I meet Paloma.

I can’t ignore how she makes me feel alive again after I was certain that my heart was closed to love.
We have nothing in common besides our love for my daughter.

I’m rich; she’s poor.

I’m her boss; she’s my employee.

I’m dead inside; she’s full of life.

Despite our differences, I let lust control my actions and kiss her like it’s the last night of the world.

Which it is, because our passionate kiss has changed my life forever.

I may be a Blue Angel, but she has woken the devil inside.

And I’ll do anything to make her mine.

Alana Albertson brings you an emotional love story between a widowed Blue Angel pilot and the one woman who is forbidden to him—his baby’s nanny.

Blue Sky is an epic standalone, slow burn, ugly cry romance. For a limited time, I have included some bonus books.

Murder Notes by Lisa Renee Jones

MURDER NOTES by Lisa Renee Jones
Lilah Love #1
MARCH 27, 2018


ABOUT

New York Times bestselling author Lisa Renee Jones’s heart-pounding thriller of a woman’s secrets—and a past that’s about to come out of hiding…

As an FBI profiler, it’s Lilah Love’s job to think like a killer. And she is very good at her job. When a series of murders surface—the victims all stripped naked and shot in the head—Lilah’s instincts tell her it’s the work of an assassin, not a serial killer. But when the case takes her back to her hometown in the Hamptons and a mysterious but unmistakable connection to her own life, all her assumptions are shaken to the core.

Thrust into a troubled past she’s tried to shut the door on, Lilah’s back in the town where her father is mayor, her brother is police chief, and she has an intimate history with the local crime lord’s son, Kane Mendez. The two share a devastating secret, and only Kane understands Lilah’s own darkest impulses. As more corpses surface, so does a series of anonymous notes to Lilah, threatening to expose her. Is the killer someone in her own circle? And is she the next target?


My rating: 5 of 5 stars





If there's one thing that i'm constantly looking forward to, it's getting my hands on a new book written by Lisa Renee Jones. It's nothing like the dark romances that i gravitate towards, nor is it an erotic novel. What this author offers is a realistic suspense novel with the side of the law that you rarely see - the stress, the pressure, the different departments that you suspected was there but never really got to confirm - these books has it all. And i've rarely seen it from authors and you just know who has experience in it and who doesn't (no i'm not saying that those who don't are bad, only that the small details aren't there, that's all).

This is a new series by this author and like the many other series i've read from her, it drew me in right from the start. There has this underlying story that you think you know, that you've heard Lilah's story before Murder Notes, but your curiosity just keeps getting you to pay attention and to keep reading so that you can really pinpoint if you're right or not. There were so many elements that drew me in - the emotions, the history of Lilah's home town, the secrets, the love affair that shouldn't have been, the crushing chemistry that is hard to ignore, and the murders. So many elements that worked great together.

There was enough action to keep me invested in this book, to want to find out what'll happen to Lilah, if she'll end with Kane even with all the instructions to keep away from him, if she'll find the murderer and whether or not someone was there that day when she was attacked. So many things that happened, and yet, i can't say that i was mixed up, which is a big fear of mine, of not being able to follow the storyline because there is so much going on at the same time. But i can honestly say, that the way things happened was just well done.

I loved this first instalment in the Lilah Love series, and i can honestly say that i can't wait to find out what's to happen next. I just might have to go back and start reading the other books by this author in the mean time, just to tide me over until the book releases!

EXCERPT #1
I scan the ocean, expecting it to turn to blood, but it simply crashes to the shore.

I turn to the house and take a step, then stop abruptly, a shadow flickering by the house. A shiver runs down my spine. There it is again. Another shadow. Someone is there. It’s then that I flash back to being on this very sand, with Kane grabbing my arms and saying, “I’ll take care of it.” And I let him, and did so without asking questions, until it was too late to change the outcome. Because I was weak that night and he was strong. But I am not weak anymore.

I pull my weapon and start running for the house, wind in my hair and face, my heart thundering in my ears, and I don’t stop until I’m staring at the blood splattered all over the patio glass, some kind of note pinned in the center. Adrenaline surges through me, but I am in my Otherworld now. I retain my cool. I walk to the patio door, using the end of my shirt to open the door, and then I systematically search every inch of the house. When I know I’m alone, I walk to my bag, pull on gloves and then walk back outside, yanking the note off the door. Returning back inside, I lock the door and pull the blinds and then I open the note. At the top is the alphabet, pasted in paper letters, with an X across the letter A. The note reads:

A is for the Apple a day that keeps the doctor away. But a doctor couldn’t help him, could he?

I KNOW.

An excerpt from THE HIGHLANDER’S GIFT
Copyright © Eliza Knight 2018

“I fear I am lost,” he ground out.
“Then let me save ye.” There was a slight tremor in her jaw that showed behind the strength, the teasing, she was vulnerable, too. But how? Why? “Now go ahead and kiss me.”
“Kiss ye?” He stared at her lush lips, wanting more than anything to do what she asked.
“Aye. I did not entertain ye. Take your prize.”
Niall stared down at her creamy face, her wide blue eyes, and felt his body stir. She was so beautiful. So cunning. So ornery. Lord, but he wanted her. Wanted to fight to prove he could have her. To prove to her that he wasn’t broken. “A kiss from ye is not a prize, but a gift.”
“Then accept your gift,” she whispered.
Accept his gift. Accept the thing he’d dreamed about for nearly a decade. Niall bent and brushed his lips over hers. At the sudden contact, she sucked in a breath through her nose, and he instinctively tried to retreat, but she leaned into him.
“This time, I’ll need ye to be my lady,” he murmured.
“And ye will be my knight,” she whispered.
Tentatively, he touched her elbow, sliding his hand down to hers, entwining her trembling fingers with his. He breathed in the heady, sweet scent of flowers and herbs. Her lips were soft, warm and pliant. Sweet.

Fallen Reign by S.L. Jennings

 

Fallen Reign is the final installment to S.L. Jennings Paranormal Romance Series, SE7EN Sinnners is AVAILABLE NOW!

 

Synopsis

Yesterday, I had the audacity to imagine a future.
One that didn’t include hunting rogue demons and battling archangels to settle an ancient score at the expense of humanity. One comprised of a home and a family and all the things I’d longed for as a broken child.
Then in the blink of a silver speckled eye, my foolish hope was extinguished, and my world came crumbling down.
We stood strong. We fought. We lost.
I lost.
Legion, the demon I dared to love, was gone.
Now I’m going to tear myself in two and do the unthinkable to find him. I’m going to put my trust in his brother, his enemy, and make a deal with the Devil. And while his darkness and depravity echo mine, I know this won’t end well for either of us.
My body may survive, maybe even my soul. I can’t promise the same for my heart. This time, I will not fail. I will not hesitate. And if it comes down to it, I’ll be the weapon I was created to be. I will follow the code of the Se7en, and do what I should have done when we had the chance.
Kill one to save a million.
Kill him to save the world.

Forbidden fruit tastes the sweetest.

It had been years since I had seen her.
Years since I last saw those eyes with pure, raw innocence.
So much time had passed since I lusted after what I knew I should resist.

But she was so right.
And I was so wrong.

To claim her as mine was breaking the rules. Boundaries should not be broken. But temptation weakens my resolve.
With the pull of my dark desires…
I know that I can’t hide from my sinful thoughts—and actions—forever.

*Devils & Rye is a dark billionaire romance. If you don’t like a splash of shock, a dash of taboo, and a heavy dose of sex, then don’t take a sip of this TOP SHELF cocktail.
