Escalation Clause by Liz Crowe

 

Book Blurb:

Young love burns hot and bright. Soul mates are found, then lost in the blink of an eye. When young widow Maureen Gordon Taylor meets her daughter's sexy soccer coach, her body and heart slowly unthaw. But will holding tight to the past cost her a future?

A devastating blow shatters a family's fragile happiness. Rob Freitag and Lila Warren now confront life without the emotional glue that once bound them, but a shared goal brings them back together. Is it enough to make them whole again and become the family they were meant to be?

Mutual trust is hard won for the Gordons. When tragedy strikes, Jack and Sara’s lives are sent into a tailspin. To keep her family from falling apart, she must force Jack to admit his deepest fears. After everything they’ve been through, can they revive the spark and move to the next stage of marital fulfillment?

The sweeping saga of the Stewart Realty series continues as long-time friends learn to rely on each other, and to grab hold of happiness before it's too late

 

 

Angie J's Review:

 

Ok where the heck do I start??? DONT READ THIS IF YOU HAVE NOT READ BOOKS 1-5!!!!!  Ok now thats outta the way.......This book is probably the best in the series for a multitude of reasons. I love going back in time to see a young Jack and his friends. I loved getting to know Brandis as a young man and meet/court (behind Jack's back ) Mo. I think the introduction of Rafe was great too because he is sooo stubborn like the Gordon family so he will definately have to hold his own!!

I love that Liz keeps the future story lines up and fresh. We still have some Jack and Sara drama because they are both so much alike that they cant open up fully to the other. Do I need to discuss the Shannon scene...ugh Sara!!!! We get to see Rob and Lila dealing with the loss of Blake. We get to see a bit of Kyle and Shannon's story and Evan and Julie's story developing as well. (Pitter patter goes my heart at the mention of Kyle.) This book has alot of plots going but never to many to be confusing. This book in the series is doing a great job begining to wrap up the "family" and start the kids books. Speaking of the kids, I am sooo very excited after the epilogue's secrets about Gabe...SQUEEEE...dont wanna spoiler anything to anyone but OMG killer!!! Which anyone who reads Liz's books know that her epilogues are amazing!!!!!!!

I have to say my favorite scenes were the fighting with baby/toddler boys Brandis and Gabe....frenemies for sure !! However my favorite "adult scene" was definately the wax scene. This was a great scene where Sara takes control and as we know Jack isnt a fan of losing control.....nicely done there Ms. Crowe...niiicely done!! Ok and I must admit I did get the giggles when Jack was telling Mo about what she will and wont be doing with Rafe toward the end of the booki...classic scene for a Gordon family member.

Ok so again I find myself rambling but seriously this series is sooooo amazing I just cant not talk about it or promote it. The books get better and better. If you havent tried a book your need to. You will not be dissappointed...angry and irritated but never dissappointed in her books!

Escalation Clause (Stewart Realty Series)

Fan Girl moment with Author Liz Crowe

Ok, many of you who follow or read our blog know I am a uber Liz fan.  I was introduced to her books by a dear friend Cyn and haven't looked back.  I was so excited to be apart of her first hometown book signing, book reading, and Q and A session.  I got my local book club girls to take the 6 hours drive to Ann Arbor, this past weekend, to be a part of her 6th book release for Escalation Clause. 

Liz was such a gracious host as was her publisher Beth-Ann.  We met them at the Tap Room located in the Wolverine Brewing Company.  We got to take a tour of her brewery which was cool since she writes all about beer and brewing so now some things made a lot of sense.  After we hung out and had some delicious beer before getting taken all around Ann Arbor to see the sights of the book.  We saw the Penthouse where Jack and Sara first met. The Chop Shop where they had dinner. The Ark where Craig and Suz had a few dates. The ICE CREAM place that little Katie loved and I can agree and tell you to how great it was.....We also got to see a few new sights that will be in her newest release.  We ate dinner at the Prickly Pear and saw Vinology plus an alley where Liz says "some stuff will happen" *wink*.

Dinner was so fun because we sat with another fan from Canada, her hubby, Liz's mom and Beth-Ann.  The drinks were flowing as was the conversation.  We got this free access time to talk about the books, her characters and what drives her to do what she does.  It was so amazing getting this one on one time from her and seeing her personality show through in her characters.

The day of the signing was such a blur.  My friends and I retoured the sights taking pictures this time....DUH ANGIE.  After,  we went to the book store and made sure to buy our copies of the new book from this store.  You gotta remember to support the local/indie bookstores too peps!!  :)  When the reading began, we were all giggles because its fun to remember those first few moments with a character plus the first time Jack and Sara meet it is pretty intense and funny.  After the reading, Liz answered any and all questions from books, characters, to information about independent publishing.  When we were all done back to the tap room we went.  We got there and met a few local fans who skipped the signing but came to the Tap Room to meet and chat.  In fine form, Liz welcomed them to our table, took them on a tour of the brewery and chatted with them about anything they wanted to know.  How awesome and how amazing is that.

My entire weekend was so fun and amazing.  Liz was so happy and excited to have us drive all the way to meet her and get our books signed by her.  I think the one thing/memory I will take away from the weekend, besides a major hangover, is how happy, kind, compassionate, and genuine she is.  I look forward to traveling to Tennessee in June for Romfest 2013 to hang out with her and other Realtor fans as well. So to wrap up my blabbering about how AMAZING Liz is please pick up a copy of her books...The Stewart Realty is the book that the release party was being held.  The 6th book in the series is out.  I can tell you this series is emotional and will leave you raw at times but very worth the investment!!!  If emotional reading isn't your things, then try her Turkish Delights series.  Some of her stand alones are Cheeky Blonde, Paradise Hops and Vegas Miracle.  I can tell you Paradise Hops is a great story but VERY emotional where Cheeky Blonde is a fun mystery book.  Any book you buy of Liz's is going to be a great read that much I can promise you!!!

GAME MISCONDUCT BY BIANCA SOMMERLAND

Now that I’ve took and EXTREMELY cold shower. I will start off by saying this book was as OMG HOT!!!!! I will never look at a ICE the same again. It’s my FIRST Bianca Sommerland book and my first time reading a book with multiple partners. Because I’m a menage NEWBIE Reader, I was a bit “SURPRISED” at some of the sexual interactions in this book. I just kept thinking WOW, REALLY and imagining how is that EVEN possible. After my initial confusion I really got into the story. It’s about a hockey team The Dartmouth Cobras, the top team players and the daughter of the team owner. Oriana’s world has just been turned upside down after finding boyfriend Paul ( the teams coach) cheating on her. She turns to “FRIEND” Max who is in love with her . Max and teammates Sloan, TJ, Tyler and Dominik all decided to help Oriana see how loved, cherished and beautiful she is. Max being a voyeur knows the only way to satisfy Oriana is to have “more partners” in the relationship. Each men bring something different to the relationship. Max is loyal, sweet and a voyeur, Sloan is arrogant, sexy and a sadist, Dominik is mysterious, attentive and a Demanding DOM, TJ is looking to have a little fun but nothing more, and Tyler is super sweet, a bit young, and very protective. Oriana is so confused until each man brings out her REAL self, a side she didn’t know and she didn’t expect to fall in love with more than 1 of them. The sex scenes are EXTREMELY hot in this book. The storyline with the Cobras was interesting. The emotional conflicts are attention grabbing. After I finally got used to so many different characters I couldn’t put this book down AT ALL…….If you looking to spice things up this is DEFINATLY a book to read. Can’t wait to see what’s in store for the next book.

Angie J's review:

**Fans self and takes a large drink from very COLD ice water and then clears throat** Ok I think I am ready to begin my review....Lemme say this was a quick novella at 830 kindle pages and boy are they FILLED *smirk* with good reading. This story is hot from start to finish. The story is about 2 college friends who are involved with other people and the foursome always does trips and vacations together. However a snowstorm splits the group and when a comment, by one of the stuck people, is made EVERYTHING changes. The book ends with the arrival of the partners of the other half of each of the couples and so I cant wait to finish and see what happens because I am guessing more sparks will fly and they wont be the fun ones.

LAST CALL BY ALANNAH LYNNE

BOOK INFO:

Gavin McLeod is a man who has it all. His corporate climb has positioned him as the next CEO at Holden Enterprises. He’s financially stable, allowing him to provide for the grandfather who raised him, and his successful seduction of the sexy bartender last night proves his private life is also on fire. Until the alluring woman in his arms turns out to be a serious road-block to his future. One that could bring everything he's worked for crashing down around him.

Sunny Black has spent her entire life tending to the needs of others, caring for her younger brother since she was ten, and serving bar patrons night after night. For the first time in years, she thinks of herself and gives in to her body’s demands, taking a trip to the wild side with a customer whose raw sexuality is too strong to deny. The next morning, however, she learns that in addition to rocking her world, the stranger might cause it to crumble.

A game of sexual seduction and corporate chess ensues, with neither Gavin nor Sunny realizing the ending could come in the form of a permanent check-mate.

ANGIE E'S REVIEW:

I love the details in this book. I was so into the story by the details I felt like I was THERE watching/feeling the events happen. Alannah is a detail writer and I love that about her stories. This story is about Gavin and Sunny. Gavin is sent to check out Sunny’s bar for a future resort HOWEVER he doesn’t know that’s why he’s there. The chemistry between the 2 are PIPING HOT. Gavin is instantly attracted to Sunny’s personality and then to her KINKY jewelry. Sunny thinking she can have hot sex and walking away after a one night fling suddenly realizes that Gavin is SOOO much more than that. When Gavin realizes the obstacles facing Sunny he decides it’s time to take a stand and help. I love the one night fling turned relationship aspect. It’s a very real situation. Knowing Sunnys’ background is important to knowing who she is in the story today. I like that I was given a past to understand her actions. The love between her and her brother Robby is so rare between siblings. It’s beautiful. When Callie first came into the story I thought OMG I can’t stand her. Then I felt sorry for her and her “actions”. By the end of the story I was so proud of her she quickly became one of my favorite characters. This book had it all, Love, Sex, Passion, Kink, Mystery and Laughs. A great follow up to Savin Me . Can’t wait to read the next book in this series.

Ali has been hiding in an attic since civilisation collapsed eight weeks ago.

When the plague hit, her neighbours turned into mindless, hungry, homicidal maniacs.

Daniel has been a loner his entire life. Then the world empties and he realises that being alone isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

Finn is a former cop who is desperate for companionship, and willing to do anything it takes to protect the survivors around him.

When the three cross paths they band together; sparks fly, romance blooms in the wasteland and Ali, Daniel and Finn bend to their very human needs in the ruins of civilisation.

Lust, love and trust all come under fire in Flesh as the three band together to survive, hunted through the suburban wastelands.



Natalie has watched as the zombie plague devastated civilisation.

Angus had been a miracle. Twenty-three years old and gorgeous he had appeared like Romeo from the pool area and thrown supplies up to her balcony. But now Angus is gone – abandoned her, which is probably for the best. She couldn’t stand to watch him die too.

Stranded four floors up and fenced in on all sides by the infected, food and water supplies are running as low as Natalie’s spirits. A lingering death from starvation seems inevitable.

But then she sees Angus striding for the pool gate with a sawn-off shotgun in his hands. Can he make it past the infected to reach her? And what will it mean if he does?

I heard about this book from a friend. She knows my love for Zombies and love stories and thought I would enjoy to read it. I figured that I watch The Walking Dead so it would be much like an episode of that.

I figured that I watch The Walking Dead so it would be much like an episode of that. I mean Zombies with a love story is perfect reading for me LOL!!! I started the book and loved how it starts out with a BANG...lots of action and zombies trying to get Ali and Daniel. You can see the mistrust in her because she has seen what happens to civilization when they fall and especially she has seen what happens to women when civilizations falls. Dan is looking for hope and Ali serves as that hope for him. The book does a great job building the trust and love the two feel for each other at a time when trust and love are very far from real. The introduction of Finn comes at a crucial time because there are some not very nice "human" left in the world. The three of them begin to run for their lives when the attraction Ali feels for Finn is revealed. The three of them have to figure out what exactly is the best for all involved. I loved the book. The zombies are there along with other dangers like bad humans and another deadly infected"thing". The author did a great job ramping up the sexual chemistry between the 3 character AND making your stomach turn in knots over the zombie infestation. I am going to be telling everyone i know about this book because even if you are not a "fan" of zombies, you will enjoy the main plot of the story...survival and what you will do to make sure the ones you love survive!
