Eve's First Noel by Davee Jones

My first review as a non-guest!!!!!! 

Book Blurb:

Eve desperately needed to find Christmas magic to help get her through the holidays. Noel needed to fill the cavernous, lonely void in his heart.

Decked out in her sexiest holiday finest, Eve strolled into Noel’s life more unsure of herself than ever, yet determined to find joy for Christmas. Noel was having trouble learning to live ardently again, but one look at Eve roused his dormant masculine desires.

When they met, their smoldering chemistry thawed the frosty passions lying latent within each of them. But, can love really happen when two strangers meet by chance? Or is it only a momentary seasonal gift? Noel must help Eve destroy the bitter remnants of her past, while opening himself up to adoration once more. Finding a creative way they can both release their doubts and welcome this heartfelt new opportunity will be pivotal for their love in Eve’s First Noel.

Jo-Anna's Review:

 I just finished Eve's First Noel by Davee Jones. It was a HOT short story that's perfect for this time of year. The setting takes place during
the Christmas season and Eve and Noel are both in an unhappy place in their lives. Finding eachother brings; chemistry, friendship, lust, and love
and takes you all the way to Valentines Day. Noel is super yummy and Eve helps unleash his Inner Alpha and when it comes (no pun intended) to
their sexy time, they could melt all of the snow with that hotness! 

Author Bio

 Davee Jones began a career in the counseling field with her M.Ed. She then diversified and began work for the federal government. The dryness of the day to day assignments fostered the desire for her to do something more creative. Because writing was always a passion, she used every opportunity to journal and create fictional worlds with her words. She began writing short fiction and books, inspired by the events around her.
Now avidly writing, in the little spare time she has, she has several other books in progress. She has books that draw from eroticism, romance, suspense, drama, and sometimes comedy. A few of her books garner only one flame, but, others will secure all five flames in the heat index.
She lives with her husband and children, who inspire her every day to live life to the fullest, with no regrets. She thanks her mother and grandmother for such strong, independent, loving examples of the kind of woman she wants to be. Her favorite Bible verse is Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

TROUBLES AND TREATS BLOG TOUR

Everyone WELCOME Tara Sivec to our blog today!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Tara's talking HOLIDAYS!

 

My holidays are the best ever! I grew up with my mom decorating for every single holiday. She would do inside the house and my dad would do outside. There is a lighting contest in their township and they have won a bunch of times. I’m pretty sure you could see their house from space. I’ve carried on with this tradition and do the same thing now with my kids. For Valentine’s Day I have red candle lights that go in all the windows and a heart-shaped light-up wreath for the front door and a bunch of things for inside the house. For Fourth of July we put small flags all over the yard and red, white and blue lights on the bushes. Right now, it looks like the North Pole threw up all over my house! It takes me about a week to get everything put up.

I can’t really think of a funny holiday story that sticks out because every time my family gets together it’s hilarious and something inappropriate happens! One tradition that I love though is done the day after Thanksgiving. Whoever hosted dinner at their house the day before will have everyone over for leftovers the evening of Black Friday. After we eat, we all watch the movie “Christmas Vacation” with Chevy Chase. This movie was modeled after my dad. We’re sure of it. The house in that movie that causes the electric company to shut down? That’s pretty much how his house looks. It’s my family’s favorite movie mostly because my dad is well-known for stringing together a long, rambling curse with words that are hilarious, not words at all or doesn’t make any sense – just like the famous quote from Chevy Chase: "I want to look him straight in the eye and tell him what a cheap, lying, no good, rotten, far flushing, snake licking, dirt eating, inbred, overstuffed, ignorant, blood sucking, dog kissing, brainless, dickless, hopeless, heartless, fat assed, bug eyed, stiff legged, spotty lipped, worm headed, sack of monkey shit he is!!!”

 

I bought my dad and two brothers a shirt with this quote on it a few years ago. My mom bought us all moose mugs, the same ones used in the movie, that we all use that night:

 

THANKS TARA FOR SHARING !

 

 





Synopsis:

Drew and Jenny have spent years being the envy of their friends with their out of control sex lives - well, not really. Mostly it makes their friends want to throw up in their mouths a little.
With two little kids and two busy lives, for the first time, Drew and Jenny aren't on the same page in the bedroom. Drew will stop at nothing to get his previously amorous wife back in the sack and Jenny will do anything for a full night of sleep.
 
Carter and Claire, and Jim and Liz are their usual (un)helpful selves and are full of advice for the disconnected duo, wanting nothing more than to help restore order to the usually happy couple's lives.
 
In the third and final installment of the Chocolate Lovers Series, will Drew and Jenny find the spark that's been missing in their marriage, or will the trouble they're having cause a stickier situation than the time Jenny poured honey all over Drew and he fused himself to a tree.

                                                                                       Seduction and Snacks (Chocolate Lovers #1)

Claire is a twenty-something, single mom that grudgingly helps her best friend sell sex toys while she attempts to make enough money to start her own business to give her foul-mouthed, but extremely loveable (when he’s asleep) toddler a better life.
When Carter, the one-night-stand from her past that changed her life forever, shows up in her hometown bar without any recollection of her besides her unique chocolate scent, Claire will make it a point that he remembers her this time.
With Carter’s undisguised shock at suddenly finding out he has a four-year-old son and Claire’s panic that her stretch marks and slim to none bedroom experience will send the man of her dreams heading for the hills, the pair will do whatever they can to get their happily ever after.
Warning: includes explicit sex, profanity and enough sarcasm to choke a horse.

Futures and Frosting (Chocolate Lovers #2)

Carter, Claire and Gavin have formed the perfect little family. Their friends are getting married and everyone is growing up, maturing and ready to face the future. Or are they?
From bachelorette party hell, porn addictions, dinner roll baseball and botched wedding proposals to finding out everyone's extended family is chock full of crazy, Carter and Claire begin to question the strength of the ties that bind them. Unfortunately, these ties have nothing to do with fuzzy handcuffs and everything to do with the mounting differences between them.
Will their friends make a mess of things with their inappropriate comments and need to know everything, or will they convince the couple that happily-ever-after sometimes really can start with beer pong?

Beer and Groping in Las Vegas by Angela Quarles

 

 

Book Blurb:

 

Can a djinn and a magic slot machine bring two geeks together?

Riley McGregor is a geek trapped in a Good Ole Boy body and as owner of a microbrewery, smart chicks never look at him twice.

Rejected by a geek who wanted to “trade up,” Mirjam Linna would rather immerse herself in work than be the girlfriend-of-the-moment. Stranded in a Vegas hotel, she makes a wish—a night of hot sex with the man of her dreams. It's granted. She agrees to dinner, but afterward, she’ll say thanks, but no thanks, and see what’s on the SyFy channel. But when they meet, they're surprised to find they had a shared connection in their past. Sparks fly as these two learn to be in the moment, be themselves and find love.

Fans of Star Trek, Star Wars, Monty Python, Firefly and Marvin the Martian will enjoy this romantic comedy.

 

 

Angie J Review:

I received this novella from the author for an honest review of the book.
 

OMG I was so excited to read this novella because I am such a Sci-Fi NERD!!!!  Firefly, Stargate, Stargate Atlantis, Battlestar Gallactica, etc......... When I saw the list of Sci-Fi movies, I knew I was gonna love this book.  Shiney! Captain Tightpants is my favorite cancelled TV space captain of alllll time!

Ok so this book is sooo fun.  It is a quick 46 page ecopy book but it is filled with sarcasm, wit, sexiness and a lot of humor.  It is basically a story of 2 people who are set up my a "mysterious" person to meet the person of their dreams.   I loved the "pre-date" gaming that Mirjam has to have done per Jenn the girl who organized the date.  All she wants to do it eat dinner and  then ditch the guy for a Sci-Fi movie marathon in her hotel room!!  But they finally meet up, they realize they know each other from high school.  Both people remember being attracted to the other BUT thinking that other wouldn't ever be interested in them.  Riley moved away and always thought of Mirjam and she wondered what became of him also. 

The sexual tension in the story is great.  I was laughing in the beginning and then saying "Hawt" towards the middle.  When they finally *cough cough* well you know, it was gooood reading.  I loved this book and was so glad that Angela sent it to be read.  I cant wait to read more of her stories.  I will say IF you are not a Sci-Fi fan you MAY be lost on some of the references but you could still read the novel.  So below I am posting a clip of the book that gave me a good giggle.  It will show you the humor of the novel.

 The book is expected to release December 19, 2012.
 

Book Clip:

She shoved him onto his back and jerked on the waistband.  His eyes help hers as he lifted his hips and helped kick his legs clear.  She broke free from his gaze and looked down, eager to finish unwrapping him.

"Marvin the Martian boxers?  You came to a blind date wearing these?"  But she was giggling because she thought it was absolutely adorable.  An impressive bulge tented the front.

OOH!

He plunked the beer bottle onto the nightstand. "Where's the Kaboom?  There was supposed to be an Earth shattering Kaboom,'  he said in a poor imitation of the character's voice.

She kept giggling and straddling him, her skirt billowing around him. "I'll give you a kaboom."

**GUEST POSTING Amee Parsons** The Devil Wants a China Doll (Dark Rone)

Hello there Twinsie Talk Peps...we have another guest reviewer for you.  She is one of the best peps that we Twinsie's know and love...insert the AWWW here ok.....She is going to review one of our favorite new up and coming authors for the blog......Azure Boone.  Twinsie Angie J. did a review of Kassern but this is a different series she is working one.  Book 2 will be releasing in 2013.   I (Angie J.) must say that I abso think Azure is hilarious!!!  She is so kind, generous and willing to help people who we know that are looking to get published.  So I had to add a little shout out for her and hope that my personal plee *on knees and pleading* will get you to buy abook of hers.  She is a great, talented author BUT also a wonderful individual.

 

 

Book Blurb:

 

Rone Kreed wants Sheeku in every way imaginable. Which is kind of impossible when possessed with a demon who devours souls with a kiss and spreads eternal damnation through his seed. But Sheeku has a power that protects her from the demon's sadistic intoxicant, tempting Rone to play ever closer to the fires of her innocent, yet demanding desires. When he learns that protecting her from her sadistic mafia family will require his hand in marriage, exorcism becomes imperative. Because he's one sweet beg away from surrendering to the woman he's fallen in love with, and giving the demon her angelic soul.

 

Amee's Review:
What can I say about Rone besides that he is exactly the type of man you are going to love falling for! The demon inside of him has always made it so that he can not be with a woman without hurting them so he has shut that part of himself off. That is until Sheeku comes along. She catches his attention immediately and he has this pull towards her that is undeniable. But the fear that his demon will hurt her holds him back. There is something special about her though that he is trying to figure out and it seems to keep the demon inside of him at bay in order for them to be together. As they learn about one another, what is inside of each of them and what they have to do for each others mere survival you will fall for Rone and his tortured soul. This is the first book in a series that is going to prove to be a beautiful love story. This book has it all, Romance, erotica, action, laughter, sadness and even mystery. I think that Ms. Boone has done a wonderful job in creating the world of Dark Rone and his China Doll. 

 

 

 

Embracing My Submission by Jenna Jacobs.

Book Blurb:

Haunted for years by dreams of a savage, amber eyed Dominant with lips so enticing my soul ached in frustration and lust. None of the Dominants at Genesis, my local BDSM club ever stirred me in such blistering ways. While I tried to fill my submissive desires vicariously through interactions at the club, I attempted to convince myself it was enough. But it wasn’t. My dream Dom made certain I hungered for more. Forced beyond what I could bear, my passion and frustration exploded. I threw in the towel, determined to stop chasing a dream and gave up completely on finding submissive surrender. But fate intervened when two gunshots split the night. Forced to confront my desires and insecurities, I was shocked to realize that my dreams may have held a deeper meaning. Were they compelling me to finally embrace my submission?


Book Excerpt:

At seven o’clock on the dot, I knelt on the soft carpet in Drake’s private room.  Nervous and trembling, my heart thundered in my chest. All afternoon I’d paced, cried, and 
worried about what he had in store for me. 

That is, when I wasn’t mooning over  hopeless fantasies of Jordon.   
     
Thoughts of the handsome Dom filled my head almost more than fretting about my 
punishment. Trying to keep Jordon in perspective, I reminded myself that I’d 
screwed up far beyond repair and shouldn’t hold on to foolish hope.     
     
Craning my neck, I looked at the clock on the nightstand behind me and trembled 
in anticipation-laced fear.

      7:05.Okay Drake, I’m as ready as I’ll ever be. Let’s get this over with.
      7:10.What is taking him so long?
      7:15.You’re doing this to fuck with me. I know it! 
      7:20.Damn it, Drake, I’m  going to waltz my ass back home if you don’t get here soon. The  
              anticipation is driving me insane!

The snick of the lock as it disengaged had me quaking with fear.


Angie E's Review:

　
I was sooooo grateful to get a copy of this book for an honest . Jenna is a wonderful writer and I enjoyed her style of writing. I had heard GREAT things about this book and was so excited to get to read it. I was NOT disappointed. I literally could NOT put it down. It had me so wrapped up in the story that I found myself sitting down and doing NOTHING….(kids and hubs was on their own, lol ) I couldn’t stop reading. I kept wanting to know WHATS NEXT? Julianna, Emerald as known in the club, wanted one thing and one thing only to find her dream dom.

　

Emerald wanted badly to find her “dream Dom” .

“Maybe I wasn’t meant to find an owner? Maybe I was destined to blow smoke up my own ass the rest of my life . Maybe there was no hope of assuaging the frustration plaguing my soul. Or maybe he was right around the corner.”

“You would think after pouring myself into the lifestyle, absorbing everything humanly possible about the dynamics of a Don/sub power exchange, I would find one. Nope. Nada. I was still un-owned, still searching for that elusive “one”. Kind of like a needle in a haystack. With my luck, I could probably plop my unfulfilled ass in a needle factory and still not find him. Yet I couldn’t give up hope. It was all I had.”

　
I sympathized with Juliana (Emerald) . Her desire to WANT to be owned and find her place within her community is respectable. The story drew me in when Sir Jordon came onto the scene. He seemed PERFECT we quickly find out that there is NO perfect. Then when Emerald finds herself in a horrific situation she meets her SIR DROOL (her dream DOM) Sir Mika . Mika wasn’t looking to find his “one” after all he had already found her and lost her tragically. When Julianna walked into his club years ago he tried to stay away but it eventually became to hard (pun intended *snorts*)

I love all the twist and mystery in this book. It constantly kept my attention. This is DEFINITELY not a dull read. I have read my share of BDSM but this book was unlike the others as in I get an even CLOSER look inside the relationships. I actually learned a few things =) . I loved all the characters and how they all fit together in the story well except for Sir Jordon…. GRRRRRRR….. BAD SIR. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series…. I definitely give this a 5 star review.

**GUEST POSTING BY Jo-Anna Walker ** Seduced in the Dark By CJ Roberts

Hey there Twinsie Talk peps!!!  Sooooo with the holidays up and coming ,we decided to ask a few of our near and dear friends to post about a book they have read and enjoyed.  So here is our very first guest post from our Freaky Sister Jo-Anna!!  *raising the freak flag for our sister*  We hope you enjoy their posting and reviews as much as you do ours!!!

 

Book Blurb:

From the author of, Captive in the Dark, comes the long awaited sequel:

Seduced in the Dark
What is the price of redemption?

Rescued from sexual slavery by a mysterious Pakistani officer, Caleb carries the weight of a debt that must be paid in blood.

The road has been long and fraught with uncertainty, but for Caleb and Livvie, it’s all coming to an end.

Can he surrender the woman he loves for the sake of vengeance?

Or will he make the ultimate sacrifice?

 

 

Jo's Review:

First review. The book I started this morning is called Seduced in the Dark by CJ Roberts. It's the 2nd part to Captive in the Dark which I believe was released last year or something. Anyways...this book. I'm only on chapter 7 but I have 2 words that sum up this book and the first book also; DISTURBING GLORY! Now this is NOT a bad thing but for those who are faint at heart should tread lightly. The books are dark. Like really dark. Probably the darkest stories I have ever read and I've read A LOT of books. They're about human trafficking and Stockholm Syndrome. My friend Leanne recommended the first book to me and after reading the first chapter, I was hooked!! Now for this review, it's hard cause these books are hard to describe. They're not all hearts and flowers. They'll make you cry, possibly laugh, definitely cringe, maybe walk away even but for you to know what I'm honestly talking about, you must READ them!! This is a demand, not a request. Add them to your TBR list right now! And like CJ on Facebook also if you want but you must read these books to understand where I am coming from.

Ok. I finished Seduced in the Dark by CJ Roberts and it was FAN -- wait for it -- TASTIC!!!!!!!!! I asked CJ if she was working on her next book but she just finished SITD so she's...working on it. Hehe. Everyone needs to read these books!! They're just 2 books but they are so worth the read!! And I love Caleb! I loved the ending! *happy sigh* It was just wonderfully written and it was such an amazing story!!
