[Release Blitz & Book Review] Dubious by Charmaine Paul

Title: Dubious (The Loan Shark Duet, #1)
Author: Charmaine Pauls
Genre: Dark Romance
Release Date: October 10, 2017
Synopsis
Repulsiveness personified, that’s me. I own a mirror, and I’m not afraid to look in it. What you see on the surface is a reflection of what runs under my skin. I’m a loan shark. Breaking people is in my blood. The Haynes’s were supposed to be a straightforward job. Go in and pull the trigger twice. One bullet for Charlie, one for his sister. But when I saw Valentina, I wanted her. Only, in our world, those who owe us don’t get second chances. No way in hell will my mother let her live. So I devised a plan to keep her. It’s depraved. It’s immoral. It’s dubious. It’s perfect. Just like her. (DUBIOUS is the first full-length novel in a two-part duet and ends on a cliffhanger. The second book, CONSENT, will be available on 14 November 2017. This is a dark romance with a criminal anti-hero and forced seduction. Reader discretion is advised.)

Excerpt
The table goes quiet, but not because of my outburst. The men’s heads are turned toward the landing on the upper floor. When I follow their gazes, I can’t miss the man who stands under the light, his hands gripping the rail. He wears a dark suit, like the Portuguese, but he’s anything but a generalization. He’s nothing short of a monster.
His body is muscular. Too big. There’s not enough space in the room for him. He drowns everything in power and dominance. He’s not young, but he isn’t old, either. Rather than defining his age, his years give him the distinguished edge of men with experience. Thick, black hair falls messily over his forehead, the wisps brushing his ears. His features are rogue, wild, and uncompromising. The lines running from his nose to his mouth are deeply etched. They’re the kind of lines men with hard, rough lives wear. A ghastly network of scars runs from his left eyebrow to his cheek. Under the disfigured patchwork, his complexion is tanned. The ruggedness of his skin gives the impression of being marred by bullets. A short-trimmed beard and moustache cover some of his imperfections, but the damage is too vast to hide. It’s a face you don’t want to see in the dark and definitely not in your dreams. It’s a face that stares straight at me.
Heat of the scary kind crawls over my skin. When I look into his eyes, it’s as if a bucket of ice is emptied down my shirt. An unwelcome shiver contracts my skin, and my fear turns from hot to cold. His irises are blue like the far-off glaziers I’ve only seen in pictures. Everything about him seems foreign. Out of place. Dangerous. He’s the kind of bad that’s even out of Napoli’s league.

Well my goodness, what a start to a great duet! Popped my Charmaine Pauls cherry with this book. It’s one that had me reading non stop, wanting to see what would happen next. Now I patiently wait for book 2 so that I may get all the answers!!!

Valentina is struggling to survive in Berea a suburb of Johannesburg. Attending Vet school and working as a vet tech. She has taken on the responsibility of raising her brother who has suffered brain damage in a car accident. Where she lives, its best described as the ghetto. One where no white female should ever walk by herself. It’s a depressing part of town and the ones living there will do just about anything to survive. Which is what Valentia does….

When Valentina comes home one night, she finds her brother missing. Searching frantically for him, she runs into Gabriel Louw. He’s a man that no one wants to cross. He is a loan shark that works in the family business ran by his mother. 

He is The Breaker 

Gabriel wants Valentina and he will break her at all costs. Even if it means going against his mother’s wish. His mother is vicious and I need to know what the story is there!!! 

As I made my way to the end of the book, I found myself wishing it were November already so that I could Dive into the second book immediately.

[Release Blitz & Book Reviews] Caress By Nora Heat


Title: Caress
Series: A Nora Heat Novella
Author: Shanora Williams
Genre: Erotic/Contemporary Romance
Release Date: October 6, 2017 KINDLE UNLIMITED







My new client is too damn tempting -- a lingerie supermodel who isn’t afraid to get naughty or naked.

Chanel wants me bad - needs me to touch and caress her - but I can’t get too close.
Her father is my boss, and if he found out about the dirty things I wanted to do to her, my reputation as top bodyguard in Manhattan would be ruined…
But, like Chanel says as I slide her panties down, “He’ll never know.”


After my shower, I made sure to stay put in my room. I knew what Chanel wanted. She was young and naïve, so she didn’t care about how her father felt. When she wanted something, she wanted it. No questions. No debates and if there ever was a debate, she would win it.

Sighing, I laid down in bed, exhausted from the long day. I’d had two cups of scotch swimming in my veins that I was sure was going to lull me to sleep soon.
Before I could shut my eyes, I heard the door open and then click shut. I frowned, picking up my head, looking toward it. I saw her thin silhouette from where I laid. 
She had on a silky white nightgown that showed way too much cleavage. Her skin was milky from the moonlight spilling through the curtains. Her hair was damp and curly, most likely from a shower.
She looked so sexy.
Fresh and ready to devour.
Seeing her like that sent all of my morals flying out the door she’d just walked through.





Shanora Williams is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author who loves writing about flawed heroes and resilient heroines. She is a believer that love outweighs all, but doesn't have a problem making her characters fight for their happily ever after.
She currently lives in Charlotte, North Carolina and is the mother of two amazing boys, has a fiercely devoted and supportive man, and is a sister to eleven.
When she isn’t writing, she’s spending time with her family, binge reading, or running marathons on Netflix while scarfing down chocolate chip cookies.






BY LAURA LEE 






I’m really enjoying these little Novella’s that Shanora Williams has been releasing. They are quick reads, straight up smut with a side of story. 

Chanel is a top model. With an over the top Dad who will do anything to protect his little girl. Even though at her age, she is old enough to make decisions on her own, Daddy will always see Chanel as his little girl, one he needs to protect. 

Kobe is the #1 bodyguard around. Flawless record for keeping those under his watch protected. After taking a year off for ‘personal’ reasons, he is back at it. First up is being the bodyguard to Chanel, hired by her father with promises from her father that Kobe needed to keep his distance, don’t get involved with Chanel, do his job and things will be perfect. 

Well we all know that when Dad tells you to concentrate on your modeling career and do not get involved with the new bodyguard…You are going to…
When your Boss tells you to stay away from his daughter or else you will never work security another day…You don’t listen to that.

It just takes one taste and Kobe and Chanel are hooked. They are willing to risk it all for happiness. What a sexy, steamy ride they venture on!!!
