Kailin Gow's "Savor Me" Blog Tour (Review) + Giveaway
Welcome to our virtual stop on Kailin Gow's Savor Me Blog Tour brought to you by Literati Author Services.
Savor Me
(Master Chefs #2)
by: Kailin Gow
Publishing Date: 6/25/13
Genre: Erotic Romance
Description:
Book 2 of the steamy erotic Master Chefs Series continues culinary student Taryn Cummings' and Master Chef Errol King's forbidden relationship that challenges and shakes both to the edge of all they've known. Could love exist after pain?
Savor Me is for 18+ due to mature subject and sexuality.

My Review:
Kailin Gow did it again. She made me read Savor Me, so quickly that I want the next installment already. I love this series from Kailin.
It either makes me hungry when I read it...or really HOT (and when I mean hot...I mean I need a cold shower, after every scene between Taryn and Errol).
I loved every minute of reading this book and I loved how Kailin had Savor Me pick up from Devour Me. Oh...let me just say the ending was AMAZING. I was definitely not expecting that...and it definitely was a very BIG surprise.
I think Errol grew on me more in this book then the first book, even with the little drama that happened towards the end between one of his fellow chefs, who wanted to start trouble. Grrr!!!
Taryn was such a stronger character than she thought she could be in this book. She even handled the situation at the end so much better than I would. She handled every situation way better than I would. I loved her even more in this book.
I was very proud of her in this book and what she has been doing with her business. She stepped up so much even with everything that happened to her Mom and even her brother.
This book had a lot of drama to it and Kailin did an amazing job building up to the ending.
I give this book 5 full moons and highly recommend it to erotic romance fans out there. Please read the first book, Devour Me, though first. You will miss out on what happened in Paris with Errol and Taryn if you don't.
Kailin is a definite auto-buy author for me now and I look forward to the next installment in this series, as well, as any other book she brings out. I need to read every book, Kailin has written now. I have found yet another Author that will go on my FAVE Author lists. =)

Purchase at Amazon | Barnes & Noble
Description:
THE YEAR IS 1889 and Queen Victoria, exemplum of decency and sobriety, is in her fifty-second year of reign. Paranormal Investigator, Phaeton Black, on the other hand, couldn’t be less interested in clean-living.
He has recently taken up residence in the basement flat of London’s most notorious brothel. A dedicated libertine with an aptitude for absinthe, he wrestles with a variety of demons both real and self-inflicted. Unfairly linked to Scotland Yard’s failure to solve the Whitechapel murders, Phaeton is offered a second chance to redeem himself. A mysterious fiend, or vampire is stalking the Strand. After a glass and a consult with the green fairy, he agrees to take on the case.
On his first surveillance, Phaeton pursues an elusive stranger and encounters several curious, horrifying beings. But the most intriguing creature of all is a Cajun beauty who captures him at knifepoint and threatens to spirit away his heart.

The Moonstone and Miss Jones is the dark and sexy sequel to The Seduction of Phaeton Black. Phaeton returns to England in time to help Doctor Exeter and the mysterious deadly Nightshades rescue London once again––this time from Professor Lovecraft's destructive tinkering.
As the threads of existence begin to unravel, the eccentric scientist attempts to save his son’s deteriorating condition by replacing body parts with mechanical apparatus. Ah, but how to power them? The near mad professor believes he has found a way to unleash the arcane energy inside the Moonstone and he needs Phaeton Black to help him do it.
When Phaeton is shanghaied in Shanghai, America Jones assumes the worst––that he has abandoned her in the Orient. An angry Miss Jones returns to London, where their spirited partnership takes an unexpected turn––a new business venture MOONSTONE INVESTIGATIONS. No uncommon psychical disturbance refused.
Well, why not mix business with pleasure?

Plunge deeper into the curious world of the deadly Nightshades.
The Moonstone is having a destabilizing effect on the time/space membrane leaving Phaeton trapped in a parallel mirror world where everything is opposite or upside down, yet oddly the same. He is held captive by Domina Valour and tested sorely in this darkly sensual third episode of the Phaeton Black series.
Gaspar Sinclair can't go after Phaeton. His physical body is unraveling before everyone's eyes. America Jones is large with child, but only she has the preternatural ability to locate Phaeton and bring him back. And Doctor Exeter's beautiful charge, Mia, has her claws in him. Quite literally.
To accomplish Phaeton's rescue, the doctor must let loose forces he hasn't the foggiest clue how to control, including his attraction to Mia.

ARC Review - Fixed On You by Laurelin Paige
Fixed On You
(Fixed #1)
Author: Laurelin Paige
Publisher: Mandevilla
Press
Release Date: 6/24/13
Genre: Erotic Romance
Source: ARC Provided by Author
Description
Stalking and restraining orders are a thing of Alayna
Pierce’s past. With her MBA newly in hand, she has her future figured out—move
up at the nightclub she works at and stay away from any guy who might trigger
her obsessive love disorder. A perfect plan. But what Alayna didn’t figure on
is Hudson Pierce, the new owner of the nightclub. He’s smart, rich, and
gorgeous—the kind of guy Alayna knows to stay away from if she wants to keep
her past tendencies in check. Except, Hudson’s fixed his sights on her. He
wants her in his bed and makes no secret of it. Avoiding him isn’t an option
after he offers a business proposition she can’t turn down and she’s drawn
further into his universe, unable to resist his gravitational pull. When she
learns Hudson has a dark history of his own, she realizes too late that she’s
fallen for the worst man she could possibly get involved with. Or maybe their
less than ideal pasts give them an opportunity to heal each other and finally
find the love their lives have been missing.
Review
This was quite the sexy read! I’m not a huge fan of serial
books like this one because I enjoy my HEA all wrapped up pretty but when it’s
done right, like I think this one was, it’s very enjoyable! I am so glad I
decided to read this book. It’s fun and entertaining but it’s also a very
emotional and deep story.
I really liked Alayna and Hudson. They were genuine people
with real emotions. Both of their pasts were so sad but believable, especially
with the family lives they had. Hudson is a very charming man and I fell for
him within seconds and Alayna is just a very likable character. And together
they are HOT! We can’t forget that! The sex scenes aren’t the hottest I’ve ever
read but they have potential and I’m ready for more of Hudson, he’s so sexy!
It was heartbreaking the way Hudson was with his mother. She’s
such an unhappy person. And his dad was a riot! I hope to see more of him in
the next book. He was very entertaining in a very inappropriate way! You’ll
just have to read it to understand because it’s worth it just for him! He has
no shame! As for Alayna’s brother, even though the guy has reason to be a jerk
that doesn’t excuse it! I wanted to reach into the book and punch him in the
nose and tell him to have some faith, people can change! I hope she shows him
and he eats his words!!!
Overall I really enjoyed this book and I think that most
erotic romance fans would very much enjoy this one. It’s sweet, and sexy, and
funny and quite a bit angsty. The perfect late night read if you ask me! I’m
dying for the next book now though, so be prepared to wait after you’ve read
this one!

Rhyannon Byrd's "Take Me Under" Blog Tour (Interview/Giveaway)
Welcome
to Book Lovin’ Mamas! We are so glad to have you here today!
Hi and thanks so much for having
me back! :)
Tell
us 3 things about yourself that readers may not be able find out about you on
the web.
One: I’m terrified of heights and elevators that
have glass walls. You can usually find me plastered up against the inside wall,
refusing to turn around and look. I can’t even stand going up in the London
Eye!
Two: I’m anxiously waiting for Bullet For My
Valentine to go on tour so that my daughter and I can go see them.
Three: I am seriously challenged when it comes to
technology. In fact, most computers seem to hate me with a passion. Thankfully,
my iPod is loyal and I rarely have any issues with it. But my laptop knows that
its life hangs in the balance on a daily basis. ;)
What
does a typical writing day look for you?
Hubby brings me tea in bed. Get
the kids ready for school. Sit down and go over email and check my FB pages. Finally
start writing about 9. Usually forget to eat lunch because I’m so wrapped up in
what I’m working on. In the afternoon I pick my kids up from school and usually
spend a few hours chauffeuring them around. Try to keep writing once I’m back
at home, but it’s usually only in bits and pieces at this point. I know I’m not
the only person who feels this way, but I so wish there were more hours in a
day!
Could
you give us a little sneak peek of how your research process happens with a new
book or series?
I don’t do a lot of research to
start with, because the first step for me is always to develop the characters
and work out how they’ll all interact with each other. When I started on my
newest release, TAKE ME UNDER, I had to work out how Ben’s relationship would
work with Reese and also with his family, and once I had that settled, I
started looking deeper into his and his brothers’ different careers. At that
point, I had to research different aspects of law enforcement and make sure
everything would work in the way that I needed it to. And because I set the
series in a fictional little beach town called Moss Beach on Florida’s Gulf Coast,
I was able to work off of a lot of personal experience, because my family and I
would vacation on the Gulf when we lived in Florida. By the time I had this all
sorted, I had quite a few scenes already sketched out and the story just took
off from there. :)
When
you’re not writing, what are your hobbies/interests?
Well, watching
American Football is definitely a major pastime for me, and my daughter and I
are HUGE fans of the Manning brothers. I can also never get enough of reading
or going to the movies, and I really love going to concerts and seeing my
favorite bands perform live. I saw both Pearl Jam and the Red Hot Chili Peppers
last year, which was awesome. My daughter and I have the same taste in music,
so she’s always my concert buddy. We’re desperate to see the Foo Fighters live,
so we’re hoping they make it back over to the UK in the not too distant future.
And we’re also desperate to see BFMV. ;)
I don’t really
have any hobbies or collections that I can think of, other than movies and
music. I love to collect DVDs and still buy a lot of CDs from my favorite
bands. And I tape all my concert tickets to the back of my office door, along
with postcards and bookmarks for my favorite books.
Who
are some of your favorite authors?
For years now I’ve been a huge
fan of Linda Howard, Shannon McKenna, Anne Rice, Shayla Black, Sylvia Day, Lisa
Kleypas, Kresley Cole, Karen Marie Moning...I could go on and on. Two of my
newest favorites are Virna DePaul and Beth Kery. I absolutely loved Virna’s
BEDDING THE WRONG BROTHER and can’t wait to read Max’s book. I also loved
Beth’s BECAUSE YOU ARE MINE. November can’t get here fast enough for me because
I can’t wait to see what happens next with Ian and Francesca!
When
you are deep into writing what is your biggest pet peeve?
When my Word program crashes! I
love my Mac to pieces, but it freaking hates Word. Seriously. Hates. It. I’m currently trying to decide what to do for
my next computer, because the program crashes on me about five times a day.
There is nothing worse when you’re in the middle of writing a scene that is
flowing exactly the way you want it
to than suddenly seeing that little freaking clipboard pop up. :(
Do
you ever base your characters on people you know in real life?
I couldn’t say that any one
character is directly based on anyone I know, but there are definitely bits and
pieces in there from my family and friends. It might be a particular phrase or
a quirk, or even a funny snippet of conversation, but there are always little
things that I pick up from the world around me that find their way into my books.
Who
is your favorite character you’ve ever written?
Oh, God, that is such a difficult
question! But at the moment I’ve got to go with Jonah Cartwright from Triple
Play. He’s just an all around delicious kind of a guy— sexy, witty, and
seriously sinful—and so in need of a good woman to love. I’ve been desperate to
write his story for YEARS, and now I’m finally doing it. I plan to have his
book out in November and will be posting updates on my FB page in the coming
months. :)
If
you could be any one of your characters, from any book you’ve written which one
would you be and why?
At the moment I have to say Carla
Reyes from my Bloodrunners series. I love her attitude and the way she holds
her own against the other guys. Being the only female Runner isn’t easy, but
she never lets it drag her down. She gives as good as she gets, and when it
finally comes time for her own HEA, it’s going to be worth every moment of pain
and heartbreak that she’s suffered. I also wouldn’t mind being Reese Monroe
from TAKE ME UNDER, because even though she has to go through some seriously
scary things, she gets Ben in the end. Yum! ;)
Do
you have anything specific you want to say to your readers, maybe about what’s
coming in the future from you or anything else?
First, I just want to let them
know that I have a lot exciting projects on the way, so please find me on FB if
you want to see all the latest news. I’m also in the process of getting started
on Twitter and should have info going up on my page there as well. And in
October, definitely be on the lookout for the WICKED AND DANGEROUS anthology
that I’m doing with the awesome Shayla Black! My novella, Make Me Yours, is
part of my new Dangerous Tides series and I can’t wait to share it with my
readers. But most importantly, I want to give them a massive THANK YOU for
their enthusiasm, support, and encouragement! Without them, none of this
would be possible, and I am truly grateful for each and every one of them!!!!
Thank
you so much and we hope you will come back again! :)
Of course I will!! And thanks so
much for having me. I always love to be here! :)

Ben Hudson had a thing for shy, sexy Reese
Monroe from the moment he first saw her three years ago. Back then, she was
married and living in Boston—two very good reasons for the Miami detective with
a bad boy reputation to stay away.
But that was then…
Now Reese is divorced and moving to Florida, where her mother has rented her a
small beach house—one that happens to be owned by Ben. Living right next door,
he can’t get Reese’s soft curves out of his mind. He’s waited three long years
to touch her in all the ways he’s been dreaming about, and this time he won’t
let anything get in his way.
For Reese, Ben’s sudden advances are thrilling, but leave her stunned. With her
limited experience in the bedroom, she never expects a man with such a wicked
reputation to go after her. She knows she should be on guard, but he’s a
temptation she can’t resist. And when trouble follows her down from Boston,
threatening her life, Ben may be the only one who can help her.
