Excerpt

There's a high-end coffee machine calling my name on the countertop across the room. A quick little coffee and I am out of here.

I press the green small-cup button and the machine awakens with the noise of evaporating steam. The oh-so-aromatic, roasted scent wafts toward me as the machine fills the cup with a rich chocolate-colored liquid. I'm thrilled, already anticipating the taste. When the machine signals that the cycle is complete, I grab the cup too hastily, and some of the coffee manages to spill on my white blouse.

Observing the damage with irritation, I murmur, “Fuck me,” under my breath.

“Is that a request?”

Shifting my stare back to see who has just spoken; I find myself holding on to the counter from a momentary loss of balance, as I take in the sight of the orator.

Heat spreads from the center of my skull through my throat, to the top of my cleavage. And I don’t do blushing. What the hell?

Standing there is the very picture of hot, tall and sinful. White tee, jeans, and the most alluring bad boy stance. Something in his crooked smile inexplicably leaves me dumbfounded. For the space of a moment, I am lost in him.

His eyes roam over me with a wicked glee, stripping off every layer of clothing I have on. The air escapes my lungs at the intensity of that gaze.

I gape back at him, my jaw slightly dropped. “Mmm… just made some coffee.” I mumble my lame excuse and follow it with a thin smile.

“So I assume it wasn’t a request, then?” His teasing eyes are on me, that sexy grin is still plastered on his face, and his expression insinuates pure sin.

“Too bad,” he murmurs, and I have to swallow hard.

“Is that your thing?” I ask, recovering.

He cocks an eyebrow. “Sneaking behind people and trying to engage them in salacious activities?” A low laugh, deep and hoarse, comes as a reply.

“No.” He scratches his amused lips with his thumb, looking at me with a slightly tilted head. “And just for the record, I believe it was you who started with the indecent proposals.”

I open my mouth, looking frantically for some clever comeback that doesn’t appear to come, and instead feel my face heat up. Again. Damn.

Kitchen Promises - Cover Reveal

 

 

 

Book Title: Kitchen Promises (Book Three in the Riverside Trilogy)
Author: Brooke Cumberland
Genre: Contemporary New Adult Romance
Release Date: December 2013
Hosted by: Book Enthusiast Promotions

 

 

 

 

Brooke is a midwesterngal, from the cheese state of Wisconsin! Go Packers! She's a stay-at-home mom of three beautiful children (one daughter & two stepsons) and a black fury dog. She's studied psychology in college, and counseling and education in graduate school where she found her love for writing. Most days you can find her reading or writing, or just hanging out with her family! She loves movies, cooking, and shopping! She's addicted to Starbucks, Coach purses, and wearing yoga pants.

I grabbed the luffa and poured bodywash over it. I lathered it up and began washing over my body. I smiled as I washed over my swollen bump. The reality of having twins suddenly overcame me as I felt butterflies and kicks on the outside for the first time.

“Oh my god!” I squealed, smiling. I dropped the luffa and brought my hands over my belly, anxiously waiting to feel them again. “Drake!” I called out, opening the shower door. I wanted him to feel this.

I left the door open as I waited for him. I heard the bathroom door open and heard Drake, “What is it? Everything okay?” He peeked in looking worried.

“Everything’s great! The babies just kicked!” I pointed down at my belly, all giddy. “I can feel them on the outside!”

“Really?”

“Yes, come in here!” I smiled. I waited as he stripped down and slowly stepped in. “Here, put your hands right here.” I placed his hands on each side of my belly.

As the water sprinkled over us, both babies kicked simultaneously. Drake’s face lit up as the little movements kicked against his hands. The moment is simple incredible—watching Drake’s expression as he felt his babies for the first time.

“I can’t believe this,” he gushed. “It makes it so much more real.”

I watched as his hands roamed over my belly. I could tell it was making him emotional. This was the absolute best part of pregnancy—watching Drake become a father and finally being able to experience these moments with him.

“Isn’t it amazing?” I looked up into his eyes.

“It’s incredible.” I wiped under his eyes where I could tell he was crying.

He cupped my face and softly kissed my lips until they were nearly bruised. The water continued sprinkling over our heads as we kissed under it, not moving or saying a word—just soaking every second of this moment up.

Welcome to Sugartown - Review

 

Welcome to Sugartown by Carmen Jenner
Publication date: November 3rd 2013
Genres: Contemporary, New Adult

Synopsis:

Ana Belle never wanted anything more than to hang up her apron, jump on her Vespa and ride off into the sunset, leaving Sugartown in the dust.

Elijah Cade never wanted anything more than a hot meal, a side of hot arse and a soft place to lay his head at night where he could forget about his past.

But you know what they say about wanting: you always want what you can’t have.

Nineteen year-old virgin Ana is about to discover that’s not quite true because a six foot three, hotter than hell, tattooed, Aussie sex god just rode into town. He’s had a taste of her pie and he wants more– no really, Ana bakes pies for a living, get your mind out of the gutter.

She’d be willing to hand over everything tied up in a big red bow, there’s just one problem; Elijah has secrets dirtier than last week’s underwear. Secrets that won’t just break Ana’s heart, but put her life at risk, too. When those secrets come to light, their relationship is pushed to breaking point.

Add to that a psychotic nympho best friend, an overbearing father, a cuter than humanly possible kid brother, a wanton womanizing cousin, the ex from hell, and more pies than you could poke a … err … stick … at.

And you thought small towns were boring.

Welcome to Sugartown.

*Content Warning. Intended for a mature 18+ audience. Contains explicit sex, oodles of profanity and a crap-tonne of AWKWARD

My Review

 

Stars:4

 

This story had a little bit of everything.......hot tattoed motorcyclist, biker gangs, betrayal, love, friendship, family and home!

 

Elijah is yummy.... but warning... he has a dirty mouth. I think that is what makes him so irresistable! He is one big ball of yummy! He comes into town to work for Bob, Ana's dad. He has a mysterious past that he doesn't want to reveal but eventually we all know what he is running from. From the moment that Elijah sees Ana he is blown away by her. He knows he has to have her but doesn't realize at first that she is a virgin. He knows she deserves better than him but he can't seem to leave her alone.

 

Ana's little brother, Sammy, brought humor to the story. You know how kids are... they repeat everything you say! So, of course, with the sailor mouth that Elijah has on him you never know what Sammy will learn and start repeating!

 

Ana has had a rough past too.... not only is her mother dead and she has a step-monster but the only guy from the past she trusted ended up leaving her to sleep with another girl since she wouldn't give out. Ana wants to be with Elijah but after she finds out about his past she struggles with her feelings. His past catches up to him and puts both of them in danger. He does go after the one person that hurt Ana which made me want to scream for joy. Unfortunately it only puts an even bigger hole between them.

 

At the end I just wanted to smack Ana and tell her to forgive him already. I know she was hurting but they belonged together... why keep making his suffer for all the mistakes of the past when he was just trying to protect her. (minus the one incident)

 

Overall great story! There is one part that is a little difficult to read with unwanted sex but if you can get past that it is definitely worth the read!

AUTHOR BIO:

Having failed at becoming a ballerina with pierced ears (her childhood dream), Allison Rushby instead began a writing career as a journalism student at The University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia. Within a few months she had slunk sideways into studying Russian. By the end of her degree she had learned two very important things: that she wasn't going to be a journalist; and that there are hundreds of types of vodka and they're all pretty good. After several years spent whining about how hard it would be to write a novel, she finally tried writing one and found it was quite an enjoyable experience. Since then, she has had nine novels published. She keeps up her education by sampling new kinds of vodka on a regular basis.
