Lusting For Covers: Undeniable by Alison Kent...

Lusting for Covers is a weekly meme, held on Sunday, that allows bloggers to share their current cover obsession with fellow book lovers.  

Choose your own book cover that you've fallen in "lust" with in the past week. It can be new, old, a reprint, or even a book that is not yet out-- it's all up to you! If you find a cover that catches your eye, then showcase it on your blog, and let others see the pretty covers out there. 

(OPTIONAL): Besides posting the picture of the book cover you chose, it's nice to provide the book summary, title, author, or a website link for the book. It's not required, but it can help you readers' to add more books to their own list! A brief "Why I choose this cover" is also appreciated, but not required. 

                  This meme is hosted by TBQ @ TBQ's Book Palace.

Here's my candidate for the week:

THE DALTON BOYS ARE COMING, ONE BY ONE…

There was a time when Crow Hill, Texas’s notorious Dalton Gang ran wild. Now, as owners of the Dalton Ranch, their partnership in the rundown operation leaves little time for raising hell—except for the right women who can turn on the heat…

It’s been sixteen years since Dax Campbell set foot in Crow Hill—and sixteen years since Arwen Poole had a crush on him in high school. Unfortunately, setting her sights on this irresistible man again has stirred up a lot of unfulfilled desires in Arwen. A few nights in bed with Dax should get him out of her system once and for all. That’s all she wants. And for now, that’s all she needs.

But Dax is looking for something deeper in a woman. So they agree to an unconventional affair: for every no-strings sexual encounter Arwen craves, Dax gets to take her out for a night of romance. While both manage to hold up their end of the bargain, they’re growing closer than either of them can afford. Because Dax has a family secret that could drive him out of Crow Hill for good, and Arwen’s not letting him go without a fight…

Thanks to Wickedly Delicious for sharing this book with me~she knows what I like!! ;)
Love this cover!! Sexy, shirt-opened, just the right amount of hairy chest, has the V action working and he is wearing chaps *sighs* ~ This is the perfect Lusting for Covers book. I don't even have to read the blurb to know that I want this book!!! LOL  But the blurb sounds great and I definitely can't wait to read this series. *Hold on while I wipe up my drool* LOL ;)

Now it's your turn!! What cover are you currently lusting for?

Delicious Series Book #1

Sway by Lauren Dane
Taken from Ms Dane's website ~ SWAY will be in the CHERISHED Duology with me and Maya Banks ( Exiled )~both our books will have a contemporary BDSM theme. It’s also the start to my DELICIOUS series, the spin off from The Brown Siblings books. 

Levi Warner is an established, older man—wealthy, powerful, and above all, respectable. Then Levi meets Daisy, an uninhibited 24-year-old dance instructor and artist, not exactly the kind of woman Levi is accustomed to. But the young, free spirit, brings out something in him he only experienced in fantasies. When their scorching affair turns into something unexpectedly deeper, Levi finds himself torn between preserving his reputation, and exploring a wilder and much more satisfying kind of life.

What could be better then 1 book containing 2 stories from 2 of my favorite authors?? 

This review is only for Sway by Lauren Dane.
I have been anxiously waiting to read Sway ever since Lauren Dane posted that she was writing it and Sway was everything that I hoped it would be and more!!!  
I am a BIG fan of older man/younger woman romances, so I was excited to read about Levi, an older established man and Daisy, a young free-spirited woman.  I cannot express how much I absolutely adored  their characters and this story. I definitely think that it is my favorite Lauren Dane book with Levi and Daisy being my favorite of her couples/characters (a title that was previously held by Brody and Elise from Coming Undone.) I love Daisy's character so much and I love her even more with Levi~they are perfect for each other. Levi maybe my favorite character but that didn't stop me from wanting to kick him in his junk at one point~thankfully he made up for that!! LOL 
I loved seeing Adrian and Gillian as well as Gillian's friends. I cannot wait for the rest of the books in this series.  Oh and I fell in love with Levi's brothers and I am hoping that Lauren writes their books as well, especially Jonah *sigh*.  
Sway captured me right from the very first page and I was sad to see Levi and Daisy's story end but I hope to see more of them as the series continues.  It had everything from laughter to tears to romance to hot steamy sex to lovable realistic characters that I can't wait to read more of.  Just an awesome book that I definitely wished was longer but I think the story was wrapped up perfectly. Such a great ending that left a smile on my face and is just another example of why I love to read and keep coming back for more from Lauren Dane. Definitely a reread and going to the top of my keeper pile. 
Lauren Dane has always been one of my favorite authors, with the addition of Chaos Burning and now Sway, she continues to earn my adoration!!!  It is always a pleasure to read a book that captures you right from the start with a great story and great characters and Lauren never disappoints.  Thanks again for entertaining me with Sway, it was truly my pleasure to read and I look forward to reading it again. 
BEST OF THE BEST rating.

Black Knights, Inc. Series Book #2

Rebel with a Cause

Becky "Rebel" Reichert never actually goes looking for trouble. It just has a tendency to find her. Like the day Frank Knight showed up at her door, wanting to use her motorcycle shop as a cover for his elite special ops team. But Becky prides herself on being able to hang with the big boys-she can weld, drive, and shoot just as well as any of them.
Man with a Mission
Munitions, missiles, and mayhem are Frank's way of life. The last thing the ex-SEAL wants is for one brash blonde to come within fifty feet of anything that goes boom. Yet it's just his rotten luck when she ends up in a hostage situation at sea. Come hell or high water, he will get her back-whether she says she needs him or not.

I absolutely love love love this series and In Rides Trouble is just another reason why. I was so excited to read this book because I fell in love with Frank and Becky in Hell On Wheels and couldn't wait to see how their romance played out. I was not disappointed!! 

Julie Ann Walker continues to entertain me with stories filled with such rough and lovable characters. They pull me into the story from the beginning and hold on long after the end. In Rides trouble was full of laughter, tears, and action with a tiny, kick-ass, Dum-Dum addicted heroine and a short-tempered, over-protective, huge, older Alpha male (who was fighting not to fall in love.) So good!!! I wanted Frank and Becky's HEA but I did not want to see their journey come to an end. I love how devious Julie was with Frank's character!! I can't wait to see what happens with Billy, Eve, Angel, Rock, Ozzie, Shell and Snake!! So looking forward to Rev It Up!! A great addition to the series and another reread for me. Definitely recommended.

He’s the bad boy she’s always wanted...
Nate “Ghost” Weller has loved Ali Morgan nearly half his life. But he’s done something so heinous he’s convinced she’ll never forgive him if she discovers the truth, so he keeps his feelings and his secrets to himself. Then she blows into town with a mother lode of bad guys on her tail and Nate can’t deny she’s in serious trouble. Unfortunately, he’s the only one who can help her.
She’s the good girl he’s kept at arm’s length...

For years she’s avoided him, unable to stomach his dark scowls and brooding silences… especially when she secretly yearns for his touch. Now she must rely on him to save her from the malevolent shadows ghosting her every move. When the bullets explode, so does their passion. But can love really conquer all? Or are some things just too terrible to forgive?

LOVED IT!!!

Hell On Wheels is the first book that I have read from Julie Ann Walker and I have definitely become a fan!!!  WOW...this book just blew me away and I honestly wasn't expecting it. Great start to the series!!

The characters immediately drew me into this story and I loved how it was written from several different points-of-view. Each of the characters added so much to the story and kept me entertained till the end. The scenes with Dan and Ozzie were so funny~Ozzie had me laughing-out-loud at several parts throughout the book. I also loved the scenes with Frank and Becky and can't wait for their story in book #2, In Rides Trouble. 

I am a HUGE fan of the best-friend being attracted to the little-sister and vice versa romance story, so of course, I was routing for Nate and Ali's HEA. 

Hell On Wheels was a great mixture of everything that I love in a book. It had heart-break, sorrow, laughter, lovable-interesting characters, romance, action, HOT sex scenes, a tortured-motorcycle-riding-badboy hero, a sweet-caring-cute-lovable heroine and a few surprises that I hadn't expected along with a HEA with the promise of so much more to come in the series. I would highly recommend and this is definitely going into my keeper pile to be reread. Can't wait to read the rest of the series.  5 out of 5 rating

I was hooked from the beginning and I wanted nothing more then to immerse myself in the story!! I couldn't pull myself away from Lucas, Fallon, Aidan and Audrey because I couldn't wait to see what happened next. I'm so glad Toni brought Shea and Ellie back, they had some great scenes~so funny.

The Assassins Series Book #1

Elli Fisher has never thought she was good enough. Let it be her job, her weight, her love life, nothing, she was convinced she couldn’t do anything right. She had walked through life for the past six years in a daze, never thinking that life could be good again after the abuse she endured from her ex boyfriend. She is lonely, sad, and depressed, that is until she meets Shea Adler. After doing a promotional shoot for the NHL team, the Nashville Assassins, she meets the hunky hockey player who shoots a puck, shattering her world.

Shea Adler was tired of the life he was living outside of the rink. The girls, the money blowing, the drinking, everything had to stop and it all did when he met Eleanor Fisher. He had never met anyone like her. She is feisty, witty, shy, and simply gorgeous. When he laid eyes on her, it was as if he was taking the hardest hit of his life into the boards, and he had to have her. 
Elli is a little skeptical of Shea, but he knows that they were meant to be together, and he needed her in his life. But Elli just doesn’t understand what Shea could see in her. She is overweight, loud, and not even that pretty, so why would someone so gorgeous and so amazing want to be with her? It seemed that no matter how hard she tried to shake Shea off, he wasn’t going anywhere, and for the first time Elli didn’t feel alone.
But could Elli throw her insecurities out the window and love Shea with everything inside of her? Or will she let a past relationship, and her family ruin any chance of her being happy?
Would Elli miss her shot at love?

Toni Aleo has definitely gained a HUGE fan in me after reading Taking Shots. I love love love everything about this book and I am so excited to read the rest of the series!!

Taking Shots had all of this plus HOT, STEAMY sex scenes, a sigh-worthy, sexy, glasses-wearing, muscled, tattooed, hockey playing, sweet, romantic hero and the best lovable cast of secondary characters that added so much to the story.  Taking Shots captured my interest from the beginning and entertained me till the end!! I couldn't get enough of this book. I definitely didn't want it to end but oh, how I loved the ending!!! I want a Shea of my own *sigh*. Definitely going in my keeper pile to be reread.

Thank you Toni for writing a book that made me sigh, laugh, cry a little, smile a lot and fall in love--it was a perfect day of reading!!!  5 out of 5 rating.

There's having fun... and then there's falling in love.

The Bradfords, Book 4

It was a chance meeting, a spontaneous, hot moment, a never-to-be-repeated encounter. So when the gorgeous redhead he knows only as Sugar walks into the bar and heads straight for him, Doug "Dooley" Miller knows he's in trouble. But he's sure not going to mind.

She needs a date to some swanky something-or-other. He's a fish-sticks-and-denim guy, but for a woman who's not afraid to get naughty in an elevator, he can stand a couple days of smoked salmon and Armani.

Morgan James admits she doesn't really know Doug, but she needs him to keep her mind-and hands-off her ex. A man who, despite the fact he stole her ideas, she's afraid could charm her into repeating her mistakes. Only Doug can make her forget the weasel exists. Besides, it's just this one time.

What started as not even a one-night stand has Dooley feeling things that he's never felt before. And that's outside of the bedroom. Don't even get him started on what's happening between the sheets. Why does he have a feeling that, as far as flings go, they're doing something wrong? Then again, if they're falling in love, they might just be getting that right.
