Revenge On The Rocks by Jenna Jacob
When Gina Scott kicks the town bully out of her bar, Nate Grayson glimpses the fragile woman under her tough façade. Though he wants her, she’s twelve years his senior. She’ll never take him seriously, right? Wrong. That night after closing, he loses his virginity—and his heart—to her. Since they live in a small town and tongues wag, Gina insists they keep their relationship a secret. He agrees…for a spell. But six months later, Nate is ready to tie the knot.
After an abusive marriage, Gina Scott diligently protected her jaded heart for a decade. But after just one night, Nate burrows under her defenses. He might be inexperienced, but he’s all Alpha and more than capable of turning her inside out. She aches to surrender her heart and say yes to their future…but she’s keeping a dark secret—one that would destroy the happily ever after Nate deserves. She resolves to enjoy their shared pleasure for as long as it lasts while bracing for the day he walks away.
But before he can convince Gina they belong together, an evil from her past unleashes his terrible revenge. Will she ever have the chance to tell Nate that she’s been in love with him all along?
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I'm a huge fan of Jenna Jacobs - in fact, she's one of my go to authors, the one that i'll automatically one click when my budget screams at me to buy a new book to add to my library, so of course, i know what to expect when i read her books. It'll be a story that for one reason or another, i will connect. Whether it's with the story or with the characters, but this author has this tendency to draw me in like no other.
Revenge on The Rocks is part of a new series that i haven't read in the past, so yes, i was entirely confused on who was who and whether or not it would have a link to any of the characters i've read from this author in the past. For that part, the fact that i've never read any of the books in the series in the past, i found worked against me. It was hard to really get a handle on the various characters and how they all fit in.
But i have to come out and say it: finally an older female and younger male story that fits! One that makes you see that age isn't and shouldn't be a factor on who makes you happy. And it's so rare that you find that the male character was a virgin when they first met their 'soul mate', the one that they want to spend their days with. That was the most fascinating part of this story - how this guy, who literally didn't know much, and came into his own to thoroughly dominate his woman in ways she never expected. I absolutely loved that!
While i had troubles connecting with this story, and know i'll have to go back and start this series from the start (when i have time, of course), i still enjoyed the story line, the suspense that came with it and the nuances that i found in Jenna Jacob's previous books that made me fall in love with her stories in the first place.
Nate had spent the day rotating the horses on the family ranch to ensure that each child attending Camp Melody—a respite for terminally ill and special-needs kids—would have a fresh mount. Though it was early April, the day was unseasonably warm. He’d worked up a hell of a sweat saddling, unsaddling, and grooming the steeds. When dinner was done, he’d been anxious to grab a shower and head into Haven. But brothers Nash and Noble had seized both bathrooms, forcing Nate to wait an extra thirty minutes to scrub the scent of horse and sweaty grime from his body.
It wasn’t until he hit town and pulled to a stop in front of the Hangover that anticipation and excitement replaced the lingering annoyance he’d felt toward his brothers. After pocketing his keys, Nate strode toward the bar, beyond ready to lay eyes on the sexy woman he’d been dreaming about all day…Gina.
But when he stepped through the door to find hiswoman wrapped in the arms of his twin brother, rage born of jealousy erupted within. As he watched Noble place a kiss on the top of Gina’s head, a fire of pure possessive rage thundered through Nate’s veins.
“Get your fucking hands off her,” he bellowed, eating up the floor in long, angry strides.
“Uh-oh.” A mischievous grin lit up Noble’s face, followed by a playful wink. “I think we’ve been caught, darlin’.”
Logically, Nate knew his brother was simply baiting him, and that Gina had absolutely no interest in his twin. Emotionally, none of that mattered. Noble had crossed the line and Nate was three seconds away from pounding his twin to dust. Nate and his five siblings had grown up teasing, tormenting, and ultimately beating the hell out of each other on a regular basis. He’d whooped Noble’s ass plenty of time and could damn well do it again.
“Caught? Caught doing what?” Gina blanched. She peeled out of Noble’s grasp, landing a sharp elbow to his ribs. “Get your paws off me, asshole! I’m not one of your bed bunnies. And get the fuck out from behind my bar.”
Nate was proud of his feisty woman for taking his dickhead brother to task, but he still wanted to beat the bastard ugly for touching her. Noble’s grin only widened as he hurried around the bar and sidled onto the barstool alongside Nash, who was smirking.
As if sensing Nate’s rage, Gina placed her hand on his chest to placate him before flashing him a gentle smile. “Would you mind hauling out another keg from the cooler for me, please?”
“You know I wouldn’t.” He narrowed his eyes at Noble.
“Touch her again, asswipe, and you die. Got it?”
All traces of humor left the man’s face. He raised his hands in surrender. “I was just messing around, lover boy. No need to get your tampon stuck sideways.”
His muscles grew taut. Grabbing Noble’s shirt, Nate hauled him up off his seat. Fury rippled outward as they faced off, nose-to-nose. “Mess around with someone else. Gina’s off-limits.”
“Chill out, man. Christ, I didn’t mean anything by it.”
Nate released his brother with a powerful shove and an evil glare.
Nash let out a low whistle and slapped Noble on the back. “You just got shit on.”
“Shut the fuck up, or I’ll shit on you,” he countered, smacking Nash upside the back of the head.
Ignoring his idiot brothers, Nate exhaled a ragged breath before locking his stare on Gina. The rage inside him instantly melted, replaced by the fiery hunger of demand. She flashed him a carnal smile, then turned and headed toward the back room. As he followed behind her, Nate’s stare was glued to the sexy sway of her ass. He moved in close behind her, Nate cupped her tempting orbs in both palms. Once they’d made their way around the corner, Gina abruptly stopped. Pivoting, she wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed in tight against his chest. Nate’s cock roared to life as her hard nipples scraped the flesh beneath his shirt. Gripping her ass tighter, he slanted his lips over hers, rocking his lengthening erection between her legs, and swallowed her gasp.
With a tiny giggle, she pulled back. A provocative smirk tugged her lips. “I missed you today, too.”
Lifting onto her tiptoes, she pressed her lips to his.
Nate had kissed her a million times. Still, every time his mouth met hers felt like the first. Sliding a hand to her strawberry-blonde curls, he fisted her mane and tilted her head back. He saw her mutual need, raw and scorching in her pale blue eyes…could practically taste the desire pulsing through her system. It was all the incentive he needed. Pressing his mouth to hers again, he delved desperately past her lips and swirled his tongue deep inside her heated wet silk.

The Choice by Shayla Black, Jenna Jacobs & Isabella LaPearl
The Choice, an all-new sexy romance from New York Times bestselling author Shayla Black and USA Today bestselling authors Jenna Jacob and Isabella LaPearl is now LIVE!
Heavenly Young doesn’t have time for romance. The innocent nursing student is struggling to care for her ailing father, keep a roof over their head, and start a new career. But fate decides to complicate her world even more by putting two very different men in her path and forcing her to make a choice that will change her life forever.
Dr. Ken Beckman—vascular surgeon by day, super-alpha by night—has three hard-and-fast rules: Never date where he works, never touch vanillas, and never get tangled up with a virgin. But the moment he meets Heavenly, he aches to toss his scruples aside and claim the untouched beauty. She’s not ready for someone like him…but he wants her too much to walk away—even though he’s not the only man caught in her spell.
Seth Cooper, ex-cop turned private eye, isn’t looking for a happily ever after, just a hot-and-sweaty good time. And the minute he claps eyes on Heavenly, he’s all for coaxing the angel into his bed. But soon, she’s so deep under his skin that he’s willing to put his broken past behind him and turn his life upside down for her. But he’s got competition…
When it came to helping friends, Beck and Seth were in sync. But now they’re vying for the same girl, and the games get vicious—until they realize Heavenly is keeping secrets from them both. Will they call a truce and work together again before they both lose her for good?
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
One thing i've come to realize with the arrival of kindle app books is that they aren't as long as paperback novels - i remember when the minimum length for the average book was about 300 pages, and now it's standard to see books ranging between, on average, from 175-225 pages. Not that i'm complaining, because i'm not. What i've noticed that it allows so many authors to publish more often. So when i saw that The Choice by this trio was about twice the length of a paperback novel, i was more than a little curious.
It's not their first collaboration together. In truth, i have the previous series that they wrote together, only i never had the chance to read it, and i wish i had. The Choice was something. It was emotional and it makes you think about what's important in your life. These characters spoke to me in way s i wasn't expected. Jenna Jacob is an author that i truly obsess over her BDSM genre because they really give a great image of what this lifestyle is about. Shayla Black, i'm used to reading her erotic novels - i know that she writes BDSM genre, only i haven't really gotten into them yet and i plan on remedying that soon. This book was my first by Isabella LaPearl. I wish i had read books by her before this because i can only image what she can come up with just from reading this book.
There was just something about watching these three try to figure out what they want from one another, from seeing Beck and Seth finally put their differences aside so that they can be there for Heavenly that spoke to me. The fact that these two men knew what Heavenly needed without her having to spell it out to them is one of the things that always impresses me about this lifestyle, and at the same time, i loved to watch this girl become a true woman. To find her own place and to make waves where she went even her status as a submissive.
It was a beautiful story, full of surprises, and one thing is for sure - until these three publish the next book in this series, i'll be revisiting their previous books that they co wrote together. I am incredibly impressed with how well they wrote together, a story that was seamless and spoke to me on many levels.

Seeking My Destiny by Jenna Jacob
By day, I’m Sasha Evans, successful business owner and entrepreneur.
By night, I’m Destiny, Club Genesis’ masochistic bottom who craves pain and won’t kneel to just any Top.
The subs around me are all pairing up with the Doms of their dreams. I can’t even find someone to whip away my stress and grant me peace. It’s driving me mad!
But you know the old saying, Never tempt fate…
Falling into bed with my tall, ruggedly handsome business associate, Lawson Pratt, isn’t the smartest move I’ve ever made, but he certainly melted me with pleasure.
And when compelling Sadist Parker Cane offered me a contract, promising to make all my most agonizing fantasies come true, I was torn.
How’s a girl supposed to choose between tingling passion and sweet torment?
What if I can have both men work their magic on me?
It sounds great—in theory. And it’s feeling that way too—until a menacing madman from the past returns to steal not only my bliss…but my life.
Seeking My Destiny by Jenna JacobMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
The first book i read in this series was Samantha's story - the journey of a submissive who lost her Master and became a Domme to save herself only to find herself in the man who would make her whole by bringing out her submissive side out again. I had connected in so many ways with that story and didn't know how Jenna Jacob would top it, but boy did she prove me wrong with Seeking My Destiny. I wish words were enough to fully explain what this book did to me.
From the very start, i was pulled in Sasha's story. The anger, envy, disappointment and the hope... it was all there and trust me, it makes you look deep into yourself and try to figure out why this woman's story resonates so much with you. I did it and wow. Honestly, i don't know where Jenna Jacob will be going from this point on, but i'm fast realizing that no matter whose story we get next, it'll be unforgettable.
