Evolved Publishing presents the award-winning Wanted: Dead or Undead
(Book 1 of The Zombie West Series) by Angela Scott. (Young Adult, Zombie
Western Romance)Trace Monroe doesn’t believe in luck. He never has. But when a fiery-headed cowgirl saunters through the saloon doors, wielding shotguns and a know-how for killing the living dead, he believes he just may be the luckiest man alive. Trace wants to join "Red’s" posse, but she prefers to work alone—less messy that way.

In order to become her traveling companion, Trace has to agree to her terms: no names, no questions, and if he gets bit, he can’t beg for mercy when she severs his brain stem. He agrees, knowing only that Red is the sharpest shooter he’s ever encountered. The fact she’s stunning hasn’t escaped his attention either.

What he doesn’t know, is that Red has a very good reason to be on top of her game. She not only has the answer for how they can all outlive the plague taking over the wild, wild west, she is the answer.

Jo-Anna's Review:

The reason I chose to read this book is because, one: I love zombies! and two: I've read the other books by Angela and I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THEM!!! 

Angela has a way with words and captivates you every time. I fell in love with her Desert books but her zombies series is just as amazing. 

They're set in the Western type era where you meet Red and Trace and a bunch of other characters that you end up loving. 

These books are about survival, love, friendship, and action, all while trying to not let the zombies attack them.

This was my first zombie book and I really enjoyed it! The zombies rule these books! As much as the characters are trying to get away from them, the zombies still and probably will always have the upper hand. Have you ever seen a zombie movie where the humans win? I didn't think so. 

I'm not a fan of Western type novels but this book was fabulous and I look forward to reading the rest of the books!

Author Information:

I hear voices. Tiny fictional people sit on my shoulders and whisper their stories in my ear. Instead of medicating myself, I decided to pick up a pen, write down everything those voices tell me, and turn it into a book. I’m not crazy. I’m an author.

For the most part, I write contemporary Young Adult novels. However, through a writing exercise that spiraled out of control, I found myself writing about zombies terrorizing the Wild Wild West—and loving it. My zombies don’t sparkle, and they definitely don’t cuddle. At least, I wouldn’t suggest it.

I live on the benches of the beautiful Wasatch Mountains with two lovely children, one teenager, and a very patient husband. I graduated from Utah State University with a B.A. degree in English, not because of my love for the written word, but because it was the only major that didn’t require math. I can’t spell, and grammar is my arch nemesis. But they gave me the degree, and there are no take backs.

As a child, I never sucked on a pacifier; I chewed on a pencil. I’ve been writing that long. It has only been the past few years that I’ve pursued it professionally, forged relationships with other like-minded individuals, and determined to make a career out of it.

Lick by Kylie Scott Cover Reveal

Waking up in Vegas was never meant to be like this.

Evelyn Thomas’s plans for celebrating her twenty-first birthday in Las Vegas were big. Huge. But she sure as hell never meant to wake up on the bathroom floor with a hangover to rival the black plague, a very attractive half-naked tattooed man, and a diamond on her finger large enough to scare King Kong. Now if she could just remember how it all happened.
One thing is for certain, being married to rock and roll’s favourite son is sure to be a wild ride.

About the Author:

 Kylie is a long time fan of erotic love stories and B-grade horror films. She demands a happy ending and if blood and carnage occur along the way then all the better. Based in Queensland, Australia with her two children and one wonderful husband, she reads, writes and never dithers around on the internet.

Jo-Anna's Review:

As each installment gets released, I fall more in love with these characters. I feel like I'm taking Brie's journey with her and to see her grow into a strong beautiful young woman, makes me proud. I'm still shocked and awed every time I read one of these books. The way Red captivates her readers is truly amazing and even though I don't write BDSM...yet...she is inspiring to me.

Through this next installment, we learn why Brie and Sir had to suddenly leave Russia. <--- Insert gasp here. This was my reaction to the ending of the last book.

I was so excited to see Lea and Tono again. But Tono...*sad face* I love that Brie is with Sir but...but...Tono...*sniff* Seriously though, I love that Brie and him can maybe possibly build a friendship together. Brie needs that.

And Sir...oh dear. He's got some issues but we love him none the less right? Poor Brie. Sir is scared and loves her but that terrifies him. Wow...intense. Brie doesn't know how to handle it and takes it the wrong way but she's still so amazing. As the story progresses, she'll learn how to read him. I have faith in our girl, Brie. She rocks!

And um can I just say that Red loves to torture her fans by the endings of her books? The ending of this one made me keep going back and forth between pages cause I thought I missed something or my phone deleted the rest of the story. I was like, "NO. THAT CAN'T BE THE ENDING!! WHY???? OH THE HORROR!!!" K, maybe I wasn't that dramatic...ok...yes I was. But wow. Read these books! But please for the love of books everywhere, start from the very beginning or else you'll have no idea what the heck is going on.

Screaming Orgasm by Mari Carr

Released May 29th

Book Blurb:

Cocktales, Book Four
Jayne Kent has watched her best friends and business partners fall in love while romance continues to pass her by. When Books and Brew regular Elias Clark offers her a Screaming Orgasm, she wishes it was the sexual variety rather than a lousy drink. She’s been lusting after Elias forever and suspects he could bring all her naughty, kinky fantasies to life.
Elias has resisted his attraction to Jayne for years, assuming his dominance in the bedroom would send sweet, romantic Jayne running for the hills. Or would it? Alone in a snowstorm, Elias tests the waters and is blown away by Jayne’s innate submissiveness and eagerness to stretch her boundaries. Ice play? Bondage? Flogging? Bring it on.
Soon it’s no longer a question of whether or not Elias should pursue Jayne, even if she’s not sure she’s brave enough to submit to him forever. She’s made for him, and this determined alpha male will stop at nothing until he’s claimed her—completely.

Melinda’s Review: 

Jayne owns Books and Brew with her three friends, who have all found love.  She had thrown herself into work and taken care of everyone but herself.  Elias has been coming in to the store reading books and she has the biggest “crush” on him.  She even placed a bid on him six months ago at the bachelor auction. 

One night at the store a storm was brewing outside Jayne decided since it was just her and Elias in the store she was going to have a drink, which she never does.  Jayne tried one of Elias favorite drinks, Scotch.  Needless to say she thinks it is terrible.  Knowing Jayne loves coffee Elias makes her a drink that she loves a Screaming Orgasm.  Elias tells her to close the shop early because of the weather.  After she does this he makes a proposition to submit to him. 

There is a fight going on in Jayne’s head because she is a submissive but she thinks being a submissive makes you weak.  After negotiating they agree to 5 nights of her submitting to him, although he wants more Jayne just can’t give him more.

After 3 dates Jayne is still scared to fully commit to submitting to Elias.  Elias wanted more and basically told her he wanted all or nothing and walked away.

Everything is up to Jayne does she walk away or realized Elias is exactly what she needs and wants.

My favorite line:

“Did I pass out?” ~Jayne

“More likely you fell asleep from exhaustion, but let’s go with the fainting idea. Makes me sound like a stud.” ~Elias

Now I need to go back and check out the other three books to see how Stephanie, Jordan and Sophie got their, as Stephanie put it, “hottest, set-the-sheets-on-fire guys in Portland.”

Loving Two Doms - Holly S. Roberts

Loving Two Doms

Holly S. Roberts

 

Book Review by Brenda Wright

Book Blurb:
Blood Rights lead guitarist, Matt Mathews, and keyboard player, Stephon Cross, live a passionate life of shared women, kinky sex, and close friendship. But something’s missing.

Stephon’s past haunts him and only his friend Matt understands and brings balance to hold Stephon’s tightly leashed anger in check. Matt loves his friend but he’s tired of one-night-stands and longs for one woman to fulfill them both and help tame Stephon’s beast.

Jewel, a strong but physically scarred waitress, working in a small café, wants to be loved and cherished, but learned early that life isn’t a sweet melody.

Can Jewel resist Matt’s devilish charm and his friend Stephon’s roving hands when Matt isn’t looking? And, when she discovers their kinky secret can she give her heart by Loving Two Doms?

Warning: This book is intended for mature audiences, 18 + only, and contains graphic sex, strong language, content that may be objectionable to some but perfect for others. M/F/M, Ménage, BDSM, bondage, voyeurism, anal play, and luscious male bodies.

Author’s Note: Loving Two Doms, an El Diablo Club: Bad Boys of Rock Book can be read as a standalone or a continuation of Bad Boy Dom.

My Review:

OH Wow!!!  I’m still fanning myself after reading this book!!  This book was suggested to me by a friend.  I always trust her judgment and never steers me wrong.  She said 4 words....rocker...tattoos....hotties.....MFM..... I was sold.  I have never read a book by Holly Roberts.  I will be reading more!

Starts off with two rockers who like to share women.  These ex-military turned rockers (Matt and Stephon) have a unique friendship.  They’ve been thru the war together.  They’ve each saved each other!  They don’t think they can live without one another.  They like to share women, but Matt wakes up one morning and cannot remember “what’s her name’s” name and realizes that he wants something more.  He wants to find ONE woman.....that they can both share.  He doesn’t think that’s possible.  While trying to escape the “morning after” cuddle with their latest conquest, Matt goes for a walk and the aroma of home-made muffins grabs his attention and goes into a tiny diner.  When the waitress asks for his order he thinks he’s gone to heaven and sees the most beautiful girl he’s ever seen.  She’s sassy and tries to cover her scar from him.  He is intrigued.  She tries to cover the scar on her face and he won’t allow it.  He cannot get her out of his mind. 

He doesn’t’ want to come back the next day, but he can’t help himself.  He works up a friendship with Jewel and cannot stay away.  He is falling fast for her and he doesn’t think this sweet and sassy girl will go for his type of sex.  And there’s NO WAY she would go for a ménage relationship with Stephon and him.  Stephon instantly sees that Matt is distracted.  He is instantly jealous and wants to meet her.  They meet and Jewel is instantly attracted to him but feels very guilty about it.  He’s very touchy-feely and it makes her feel guilty because she really likes Matt. 

Matt and Stephon struggle with telling her all of their secrets.  Can she handle them.  Is she too “vanilla” to understand their lifestyle? 

All I can say is this book is HOT HOT HOT!!!  It should come with a fire extinguisher warning!!  Jewel is a strong woman who has gone through hell and has survived and thrived.  She was forced to grow up quick.  Matt and Stephon have learned to work with their kinks to best serve each other. 

This is a great story....When I finished I really wanted more.  Since this is part of a series (I did not read the first books – this is a standalone) – I am now going back to read the rest of the series.  You are introduced to some of them in this book, and it makes you really want to know their back stories.  I will now find out! 

So if you’ve read Holly Roberts’ books, you will not want to miss out on this one!!  If you have not....WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!!!  I’m a new fan!! Have you read this?  Leave a comment on your favorite part!!!

Here's a pic of my Matt:

 

 

Here's my Stephon:

 

 

Here are some of my favorite quotes:

No man should look this sexy in the morning.

“I’m not eating before kissing you.” – Matt

“How many times do you normally orgasm when you have sex?”

Oh, God, she couldn’t believe he asked, and her hands came up to cover her eyes.  Warm fingers took ahold of hers and lifted them away.  She had no choice but to look at him.
“How many?”
Her voice was barely above a whisper, “One....if I’m lucky.”
He laughed, the jerk.  “I can promise several.”

“You know you’re the perfect man, don’t you?” – Jewel to Matt

“You’re an amazing dream come true” – Matt to Jewel

About the Author

I began writing as a child and cut my teeth on Edgar Allan Poe, Louisa May Alcott, and Alexandre Dumas. Even then I was a warped romantic and found a kinky passion in Poe's writing. I moved on to Jude Deveraux, Judith McNaught, and Bertrice Small. As my life experience grew so did my reading tastes and I found I loved the authors who pushed the romantic envelope; Mary Balogh's A Precious Jewel comes to mind.

I love the outdoors and have hiked the Grand Canyon three times. Gardening continues to be my muse and listening to my pond's waterfall sets the mood for day dreaming which easily turns to writing.

At age twelve a boy across campus was pointed out to me and I instantly fell in love. Four years later he finally took notice and became the love of my life. I tend to write "love at first sight" because I live it. My teenage heartthrob and I live in the Southwest United States with our Rottweiler and Chihuahua. They have us well trained and we obey all commands.

I love books, chick flicks, coffee, chocolate, and wine. The order depends on my mood.

My passions are reading and writing with a dominating hubby on the side.
