Craving Talon








Book Description: The story picks up as 69 Bottles continues their tour, riding a surge of success thanks to an impromptu duet between Talon and Addison. 

It’s a crazy turn of life for Addison Beltrand, who’s always lived to work and worked to live. Now, everything is shifted upside down—and that’s not a bad thing. Stepping on the 69 Bottles tour bus has banished the heartache of her past, and feels like a rocking new beginning. 

Talon Carver and Kyle Black couldn’t agree more. The band’s lead singer and manager are falling hard for the beautiful rock chick, and will do anything to keep her in their bed—and between their bodies—forever. 

The trio’s blissful bubble is popped by a danger nobody has anticipated. The band’s security team, always watchful for fan attacks on the members, isn’t prepared for what happens to Addison during this leg of the tour. Will Kyle and Talon be able to help save Addison? Or will her fear force her to pack her bags and return to LA? 

Everything hinges on her decision… 

Two men. One woman. A rock band. A tour bus. One Wild Ride… 

****Content Warning**** 
Sexy, naked, bisexual rock stars…and a lot more… 
This book contains, but is not limited to the following sexual content – reader discretion is advised - hot sex between two men and one woman. M/M/F, M/F/M, M/F, F/M and M/M sexual content. There are no boundaries when these three crash together, as long as you’re over 18 years of age.

I received an ARC from the author for an honest review.

The delectable Zoey Derrick has done it again... She made me fall in love all over again with her delicious characters and brilliant storytelling. The story picks up where the first one ended.. and OH BOY did it ever "pick up" if you guys know what I mean *giggle - snort*. Addison is now thrust into the limelight, trying to manage the band she doesn't want to give up just quite yet, and the men that come along with said band. Meanwhile, Talon and Kyle are trying new and wild scenarios, not only with Addison, but with each other. *Phewwwww*

The story had me on pins and needles most of the time, and while I was reading it, I kept thinking: "wow, it can't get better than this!" Ummm, nope I was wrong. I can't even begin to tell you guys how many chapters I loved! Every time I would finish one I really loved, I found another couple that I loved even more! I was definitely fanning myself, A LOT! I can not express how much, I'm in love with the character that is Talon. Gahhh! 

There was all in all, a sweetness to it, especially the song in the book. It left me in tears. Lots of laughter inducing moments. Yes, you will burst out in laughter at some of the dialog. Trust me, it was needed in some parts. Some discoveries that were made, definitely some worrisome trouble that leaves someone in the hospital, and of course the hot sex.  Oh, and the story isn't over just yet. There's another book on it's way! Woohoo! 

The book was a bit overlong for me, but looking back, I thought "Well, go big or go home!" Zoey definitely went big and I really appreciated that. I can't wait for the next installment!

Favorite lines:

"With the two of them, it's the perfect balance. Good and evil. Salty and sweet. Loud and quiet. Hard and soft. And I am sandwiched between them."

"Talon just sits back, soaking in what I'm telling him, "I'm proud of you." he says with soft reverence in his eyes."

"Yeah, they are," I say with a harlot's groan."

"Today you walked into my life. Tomorrow you'll walk away."

THE LYRICS TO TALONS NEW SONG (completely melted my heart!!!)

"You lucky bitch," I hear Beau say with a laugh and  I blush beet red."

"It's almost as if they need to be touching me in order to survive, to breath"

"Loving her is easy. She makes it so easy because she is such an amazing woman."

"I've walked through life alone for so long, I don't know how to do this."

"But it won't stop me. It won't stop me anymore. I know the risk, I understand the reward."

"I'd be sad because a gift as beautiful as yours needs to be shared with the world."

"But you, they broke the mold with you, angel, because you're one of a kind."

"You make me better. You make me believe in myself, you make me everything I've ever wanted to be and to feel."

"Curse stupid big ass nipples," I grumble, more to myself."

"Oh, for the love of my vagina, you two are too much sometimes," I tease, dropping my skirt and their jaws drop."

"It was easier for me to push people away, ignore them and be on my own than it was to risk the idea of finding someone, befriending someone only to lose them again."

"I got you," he whispers. "We got you. We will never let you go."

"This is it, this is what I need, what I crave, what I'm addicted to. Having them, taking them and being so wholly taken by them in every way possible."

"He puts his hand over his chest. "I'm offended, you don't fangirl over me." "Oh for crying out loud. I fangirl over you, I just get to fangirl over all the parts no one else gets to see." I give him a wide eyes 'so there' look."


4.75 stars for this steamy continuation

Until Next Time! Enjoy!

I know..








Ok, Ok... I know... I haven't posted much these past few weeks. I have been a bit busy with my "real job" and then being "mom" I've also been reading like a mad woman. I have found some new authors that were shoved in my ever growing, and very long "TBR" list on my kindle. So, I took some time to just enjoy reading without having the hassle of trying to review each and every single book that I've read. I have to tell you guys, it was a really nice feeling to just read a book, enjoy it, and move on to the next one. 

With that said, since I did find some very good books that I REALLY enjoyed, and I thought I would post some of them on here. I can't put all of the ones that I have read because frankly there are too many so I will just post the first in the series and lead you in the right direction. :) You always have the option to NOT read any of the ones I will be posting, and that's totally ok too. So here we go... I hope that if you pick these up, you will enjoy them as much as I did! 



Oh Miss Lila Ashe's series... A very sweet series about firefighter's and the women that they fall in love with. Currently, the first book is free if you want to check it out.



Very steamy book. It turned out differently than what I thought, but it was very good nevertheless. Currently free. 



Oh, these were great as well! Some of these books are currently free. I couldn't put these down either. :)



O-M-G!!! I haven't read a series like this in a really long time. I haven't found dragon shifter books that I've enjoyed, until these books. I would recommend reading these in order, as the series goes from "Sleeping Dragons" to "Rising Dragons". Of course, I read the series backwards, but that's ok, I enjoyed them immensely! I do warn you, that these books are for MATURE audiences, and if you happen to get grossed out by yummy sex, do NOT pick them up, but if you don't mind... then, by all means. *Cheesy grin*



I mean, who doesn't love Violet Duke? Nothing more to be said about her series. 


 




And of course, Mrs. Marata Eros! God, I love ALL of her books. Her new vampire series is turning me inside out. I can't even tell you how much I adore this series, and it's only two books in! As far as her Zoe Scott series... woah! That was just amazeballs. Full throttle, sexy fun! I was really sad to see that series end, but I was glad I had the chance to read it! 

So there you have it folks. Some of the books that I've read. There are more, but who in the world wants to run down the list?! Yeah, I didn't think so. I hope you guys have as much fun as I did reading some of these amazing books from these amazing authors. Enjoy!

Until Next Time.

Arks Of Octava






Book Description: Jeramiah Poe isn’t just any character in the Realm of Fiction; he is Muse Master—Destiny Diviner—Mysterious Miskriat. Being of neither the Traditional Genre Provinces nor Independent, Poe enjoys an eternal lease on life, so long as his Scribbler keeps him out of publication. 

Poe meets Kane, a seven-year-old boy from the Independent Horror Province, where he learns ancient codes are being broken and the horror that should be an act, is real. 

But the evil clutching Octava is not new and Seven Arks have been sent to Earth to stop it. 

Only something has gone wrong and Poe is commissioned as the 8th Ark of Octava to discover what has become of the Seven. 

But his passage to Earth comes with revelations he's not prepared for. Not only does his Scribbler not know of his existence, he's a she that his human form seems allergic to. 

Poe soon realizes that with each Ark he locates, his powers grow along with his feelings for the Scribbler. And the enemy will try and use both to gain control of the two realms.

When I first starting reading this book, I thought "what in the blazes is this?" I had to put it down because I honestly didn't think I would like it. I have read all of Mr. Bane's book and this started out completely different than what I am used to.  I went back to it determined to finish it... 

What I ended up getting was, completely floored! This book turned out AMAZING! I laughed at Poe and his predicaments. I sighed at the loveable little Kane. I cringed at the horrors that were shortly written about, but nevertheless there. I giggled at Scribbler's attempts at getting Poe's attentions. I was on pins and needles with every Ark they had to find, wondering if they were going to make it in time. With every page I turned, the book got better and better, and I couldn't put it down! 

By the end of the book, I was crying with all of the emotions the book brought out. I didn't want it to end. I am so pleased that Mr. Bane will be continuing the story! 

Favorite Quotes:

"More like a strain of necromancy, a conjuring of lunacy within the minds of its victims under the guise of love."

"My own Scribbler created me to love antiquation, simplicity, classicality. I happen to find more value in these things."

"The equivalent of whoring out your soul to the Devil's Uncle Joe's three legged dog."

"They are not just stories! Your words have power! Damn you!"

"Though I have only known my Scribbler for few days... Eternity without her would be... a very long waste of my time."

5 stars for the first book of what I am sure will be a great series! 

Until Next Time, Enjoy!
