EXCERPT REVEAL - Viewing Room by Heidi McLaughlin and L.P. Dover @HeidiJoVT @LPDover

VIEWING_ROOM_EXCERPT.jpg

Excerpt
“Kennedy, do you mind sitting in the chair?” Max asks.

I turn to look at him and then focus on the chair. I can do this. After joining him up on stage, I take a seat.

Kneeling down in front of me, he smiles. “If you ever feel uncomfortable, all you have to do is say stop. We’re not going to do something you don’t want.”

            “Okay.”

           “Are you ready?” Closing my eyes, I nod. The lights dim but when I open my eyes, I can’t see the couch. The lights above have hidden them from sight, making it feel like I’m the only one in the room. Music starts to play and it’s no shock that “Pony” by Ginuwine is the song choice. It’s the perfect one to set the mood.

           I can feel someone behind me and then their warm hands caressing my shoulders. The smell of his cologne drifts to my nose and I gasp. Is it the guy I talked to in the club? Heart racing, I wait for him to face me, but he stays behind me, his mouth so close to my ear.

           “Are you ready, Kennedy?” he murmurs. I suck in a breath and freeze. It is him. He circles around me, his dark eyes full of heat. “Are you?” he repeats.

           He moves closer, straddling my legs with his hard cock pressed between my breasts. Sliding lower, his body shields me from view as he settles between my thighs. His hand slides under my skirt and he smirks, knowing the others can’t see what he’s doing. What’s exciting is that I’m actually letting him do it. I want him to touch me. If the others weren’t in the room, there’s no telling what I’d allow him to do. My body craves a man’s touch.

           He pushes his hand farther up my skirt, his middle finger skimming across my underwear. My skin’s on fire and I know he can feel the wetness between my legs. Groaning low, he gently nips my breast through my shirt.

           “How ’bout we give ’em a show?” he asks, murmuring the words.

           All I can say is ‘okay’ and then I’m in his arms. He carries me over to the bed and lays me down, covering my body with his. His hips move against mine as if we’re having sex and in my mind I can just imagine us doing it. With his back to my friends, he lowers his underwear so I can see his arousal. My whole body trembles and I want desperately to feel him inside of me. He slides his hands up my legs and pulls down my underwear, breathing in my scent. The song is almost over but yet I want more. It feels like I’m high, drugged up on sex and lust. When the music stops, the room is dead silent except for our breathing. Hunter’s chest rises up and down, his eyes wild and unsatisfied. At least he looks how I feel.

           “Do you still think I’m gay?” he asks, whispering the words.

           A small smirk spreads across my lips. “Maybe. It’s a shame you can’t prove otherwise.”

           The lights brighten and he slides off my body. Grabbing his robe, he puts it on and backs slowly away. “Until next time …”

I watch him walk away, my heart pounding against my chest. I’ve never been so exhilarated in all my life. Thunderous steps pound toward me, and then Sara appears in my line of sight, fanning herself. “Holy shit, I can’t believe you did that. It was so hot.”

“Yes it was. And I really want to do it again.”

           Chris and Max both chuckle. “She’s addicted now,” Chris says. “Looks like you have a new member.” He’s completely, and without a doubt, right. I’m addicted and I want more … a lot more.

Spotight Tour - Fighting to Win (The Elite: Book One) by Nicole Flockton

Title: Fighting to Win
Series: The Elite: Book One
Author: Nicole Flockton
Genre: Adult, Sports Romance
Published: August 10, 2016
Julia Ashland walked away from Mitch Osborn when a scandal rocked her world following the diving world championships. Now she’s face to face with him again at the biggest event of the year – the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio. Not only must she fight her attraction to him, she has to fight to prove she earned her position on the diving team.

Mitch Osborn is the darling of the swimming world. Competing at his third Olympics his focus is on increasing his personal gold medal tally not rekindling a relationship with Julia—the woman who publicly humiliated him with another member of the swim team.

Now thrown back together at the Olympics, will their competitive natures take hold or will they be fighting to win each other’s hearts once more.


Fighting to Win Excerpt © Nicole FLockton 2016

“Now.”
One word, and like the elite athlete she was, Julia Ashland obeyed her coach’s command.
Breathing deeply, she kept her eyes focused on the timing clock affixed to the wall at the other end of the swimming arena. She wiggled her toes, the diving platform rough against the bottom of her feet, before arching her back, arms stretched wide as she fell into the abyss below.
Legs straight.
Toes pointed.
She smoothly brought her arms directly above her head and hit the water with the precision of a bullet piercing a target. The shock of the cool pool water washed over her as she sank from the momentum of her dive.
A couple of strong kicks turned her from hitting the bottom to heading back to the surface.
Adrenaline pumped through her veins as she stroked to the side of the pool. Hefting herself out, she walked over to the table that held her chamois.
Now came the nerve-wracking bit—her coach’s critique.
Mick had been with her for so many years that she shouldn’t get worried about his comments. Unfortunately, she did. Even though the dive she’d executed was a warm up. A basic swan dive. A dive she’d done a million times. She felt like she’d nailed it. Mick would find something to comment on, no doubt about it.
Arch your back more.
Your fingers weren’t touching.
Your big toe was out of alignment.
Little things, but every one so important in the grand scheme of things. Those tiny imperfections could mean the difference between getting an 8.5 score and getting a 6.5.
The difference between a gold medal and silver medal in the Rio Olympics. Probably the last Olympics she’d attend; at twenty-four, she was considered in her prime.
Last year, riding high after a gold medal performance at the World Championships in Russia, she’d been a favorite to win gold at Rio. Now, after the scandal, her chances of winning any medal was slim.
Bestselling author Nicole Flockton writes sexy contemporary romances, seducing you one kiss at a time as you turn the pages. Nicole likes nothing better than taking characters and creating unique situations where they fight to find their true love.

On her first school report her teacher noted "Nicole likes to tell her own stories". It wasn’t until after the birth of her first child and after having fun on a romance community forum that she finally decided to take the plunge and write a book.

Apart from writing Nicole is busy looking after her very own hero – her wonderfully supportive husband, and two fabulous kids. She also enjoys watching sports and, of course, reading.

Masterpiece & Brilliantly Written
Once again Lilly has left me completely speechless, I didn’t think it was possible to fall in love over and over and over again, BUT I DID!! This book brought me to my knees, I laughed and cried and was SHOCKED!! The growth that Aiden and Aria have found not only in themselves but in each other has made them into not only the couple they are but also, the parents they want to be for Lyric. My heart melts every time Aiden and Lyric are together.
Sienna, YOU GO GIRL, I am so proud you just don’t muck it up!! The debut of another surprise relationship had me like “WHAT”. My roller coaster ride continued with heartbreak, and an abundance of love and support. I am completely blow away by the intensity of the love they share for each other. It’s Hot, It’s Sexy, It’s “Now until Forever”!!
I knew that this was going to be good, but I didn’t expect it to leave me in the state of mind that it did. I am beyond crazy waiting for the next release. Lilly Wilde our queen!!! Thank You for giving us the Love story that is Aiden and Aria. No other series could ever come remotely close to holding a candle to this great love affair and I for one am hooked for life.”

Five Stars
Wow! I didn't think I could love this series and its characters any more than I already did, but Lilly Wilde made me fall even deeper in love. The love that Aiden and Aria have is like nothing I've ever seen. Their chemistry is still just as explosive, as they continue to fulfill each other's fantasies. Although Aiden and Aria still have issues to work through, they will work on them together, because nothing will stand in their way of their happiness. Will Aiden and Aria finally get their happy ever after? Or are there more surprises in store that again leave Aria with doubts? This series is so amazing! As much as I can't wait for the next book, I will be sad when the series ends. I have become completely invested in this family, as if they were my own family.

Five Stars
“In Only His Touch -Part Two Lilly Wilde has written the perfect completion to the love story that came together in Part One. Once again Lilly has created characters that have grown into a real family with all the faults and flaws inherent in two people trying to merge into a cohesive family unit. The brilliance with which her characters are described makes them likeable and real. I fell farther in love with both Aiden and Aria as I watched them grow into an amazing couple made better by their love for each other and the immense love they have for their son Lyric. Once again Lilly has written a true masterpiece that will truly stand the test of time.
You will have such an emotional connection that you will cry, laugh, smile, get angry and heartbroken with them as they journey into a true partnership. As all couples find in a relationship secrets and lies can tear them apart. The past hurts and affronts have not been healed and must be dealt with before they can move forward.
Since both Aiden and Aria tend towards being control freaks it is nice seeing them trust in themselves and each other to move beyond trying to control the other.
This book is full of heart touching scenes that you will play over and over again in your mind as you read the next chapter. The steamy and hot sexual aspects of this story are again prevalent and will make you wish for more. For me however the true joy and happiness of this book is to watch them grow together in their love and how their love for each other allows old wounds with family to be healed and forgotten. The strength of character they have shown will make you believe in true love again. Not the candy coated easy love that doesn't last but the happy ever after kind that lasts forever and endures all. I cried and was uplifted as Lilly took me on this fantastic journey with her. She writes from her heart and you will not finish this book down without it changing your heart and soul for the better.

Touched, Book #2

Touched, the sequel to the debut novel Untouched, continues with the emotionally provocative journey of Aria Cason and Aiden Wyatt.

Aria had meticulously constructed her world - both in the boardroom and in the bedroom. Her life was exactly as she wanted it and everything made sense…before Aiden. After Aiden, was an entirely different story. Aiden’s disarming and unrelenting allure eventually stripped Aria of her protective shield allowing Aiden emotional and sexual access that she’d considered forbidden to any man.

Aiden forced emotions to the surface that Aria had rebuked since childhood, touching a part of her that she found disturbingly unfamiliar. She now finds herself in a unique position as she shuffles to regain her balance and reassemble the pieces that Aiden left in his wake. But how will she suppress what Aiden somehow managed to awaken?

Led by career aspirations, Aria reluctantly maneuvers within Aiden's orbit and their forced pairing eventually hits several hurdles.


Is Aria strong enough to fight her instincts and remain in Aiden's world? Will her initial reservations resurface, confirming her convictions that love can only result in tragedy? Or will Aiden ultimately convince Aria that love isn't the disaster she always thought? Regardless of the option Aria chooses, Aiden’s past and other secrets will unfold, forcing Aria down a path she never saw coming.

Aiden Raine is determined to bury his love for Aria, but when an unexpected truth is revealed, his world once again collides with hers. As a means to an end, Aiden reluctantly enters a tenuous relationship with the one woman whose betrayal he may never forgive.
Bound by a love they never predicted - Aria and Aiden struggle to coexist in a world that seems too small. They are pulled apart by their need for control yet tormented by a passion they cannot escape.
