Permanent is the first book in the Indelibly Marked Series that follows the lives and loves of those surrounding Permanent Tattoo. 

                                                 Excerpt

An entire entourage, including a few people she didn’t know had joined in her search party, but she could only focus on Shane as he guided her into the driveway and sprinted to her car. 

She barely threw the transmission in park before Shane opened the door and practically got inside with her. Though she wanted to protest, or tell him he was making too big of a thing out of it, her body disobeyed and she wrapped her arms around his neck. This time she denied herself nothing and purposely leaned in and took a big long whiff of his soap. She was done for. “Oh God.” 

“We’re never going to do that to Shane again, are we?” He leaned in and kissed her lightly on the cheek, grazing the corner of her mouth. 

She didn’t realize she’d held her breath until her lungs demanded air and she gasped and grabbed Shane’s leg. When her hand grazed across his jeans, she swore she’d never felt anything quite so supple and pliable, a well-worn fine nap not unlike the most expensive velvet beneath her fingertips. Beneath his jeans she could clearly make out the definition of his toned thigh. The contrast of textures overloaded her senses.  “Did you know the 5 freeway and the Golden State freeway are the same?” 

He chuckled but didn’t move away from her. In fact, his dark blue eyes stared so intently that she studied his arm tattoos. One thing about Shane was that every part of him was interesting to look at. 

“Why were you on the 5?” 

“I was trying to get back from Orange County.” She admitted it like she’d committed a felony, and stared at his forearm. His smooth skin gave him the perfect showcase to display his personal artwork. Without really thinking, she touched his arm and used her nail to trace one of the leafy vines that trailed and curled around his forearm. “I’m sorry, it was for work.” 

“What did you think of it?” 

“I thought it was very repetitive.” She took in a black panther’s paw. The tattoos were all part of him and her mouth dried, causing her voice to sound strained. “Why was Orange County off limits?” Her finger made it around the back of the panther, and then almost as if she awakened from her trance, she stopped. 

Shane put his hand over hers. “Finish.” 

“Why didn’t you want me to go to Orange County?” She looked up at his face, his focus clearly on her hand and she allowed her finger to resume its trek. 

“I didn’t want you to like it there.” 

Her hand made it back to where it started and she shook her head. “Everything there was too much the same.” 

“It’s good to like things that are a little less conventional.” His voice lowered. 

She licked her lips to impart any moisture she could into her arid mouth. With Shane in her car in front of a tattoo shop in downtown Los Angeles, she doubted her problem was being conventional. Her problem was that she didn’t have the data to deal with the unconventional.

Here is an excerpt from, "A Perfect Passion" by Piper Kay

I inhale his cool water cologne, my god he smells fucking good. I lean forward just a bit and brush my lips across his bare back. His skin is warm from him working in the sun all day. I continue sliding my lips across the curves in his back. His skin breaks out in goose bumps, but he still doesn’t pull away from me. With the tip of my tongue, I make little swipes at his skin, and he gasps again. I slide my left hand from his hipbone to the front a tiny bit, and my finger slips inside the top of his waistband of his shorts. He shifts, so I jerk back a bit, but still caress his stomach muscles in my palm. Dax lets out a quiet moan, "Mmm…

 

How about a taste of "Trifecta" by Kim Carmichael

Her heart hurt from the hurried beats it made trying to recover from her shock, and with no air left in her lungs, she gasped, only to have her mouth covered by Jason’s.

Or was it Russell’s?

No, it was Jason, parting her lips, tangling his tongue with hers, the taste of champagne still lingering, daring her to lap it up—and she tried. No doubt it was Jason, even with four hands caressing her and her eyes closed, it had to be him. Only Jason would taste like sin and decadence, the cheesecake in the middle of the night you couldn’t take one bite of, but you had to sit on the floor of the kitchen and have the whole cake.

Wait! Her mind screamed. Four hands? No one, not even the most spoiled ate cheesecake with two forks, and she forced herself to put her hands on his chest and push him away. She didn’t need the last bite.

It was time for a diet.

 

Take a peek at "Marcus" by Chelle

The cool night air caresses my skin, raising goose bumps. The moon hangs high in the sky, the singing of the wolves ringing in my ears. The warm breathe of a lover skates across the back of my neck. I turn sliding my arms around the neck of my love, looking into the amber gaze. A whispering of love, of promise, sealed with a passionate kiss. ‘ I shall love you for eternity, following your soul across time and space. For one day, you will be ready to join me again.’ My lover tells me as he pulls me hard against his body. He draws my tongue into his mouth, running hot hands across my back. He pulls away from me, tears glistening in his perfect eyes. Then he is gone. I am alone in the darkness and the wolves sing a sorrowful tune.

 

Check out this excerpt of "The Hunter’s Blood Series" by Rue Volley

He hesitated and it made my heart skip a beat as he stood up and held his hand out to me. I took it and stood up, too close to him and he took a slow breath as he glanced down at my breasts crammed into the top of my corset. I cleared my throat and tried to catch my breath as he touched my face and I turned my eyes to his.

"Say it Vanessa, and I am yours," he whispered into my ear. I closed my eyes as his mouth hovered at my ear and his breath felt warm and inviting. The humming began in my chest and then lowered to my stomach and yet again another quick burst of movement and it settled between my thighs as I felt his mouth at my neck, his lips ever so slightly grazing my skin.

 

Check out this excerpt of "Nila Believes" by Riley Steel

He guided me up and we kissed. Red and I spent a stupid amount of time in a normal day kissing and I never tired of it. I never wanted to lose the feeling that I had to have him. It was there all the time and when our skin touched, when we made love the feeling was so intense sometimes it was overwhelming. I scooted over and straddled him and then guided his lovely cock inside me. I can’t describe the feeling; it’s like a part of you coming home that’s been missing all your life. We held hands and I began to work on top, finding me a rhythm and feeling my release already so near.

 

Take a peek at "The Goddess of Blackwater Pond" by Nicolette Grey

"Ares…"

"Shhh." He placed her hand on his crotch and unbuttoned her blouse, silencing her protests with his lips.

"What if someone comes?" she whispered, pushing him away. "I could get fired." He shook his head and unclasped her bra. When he took her left nipple into his mouth it hardened against his tongue.

"Relax, Aurora. No one’s coming. The door’s locked and the front light’s off.   You disabled the camera. No one will ever know."

"But…"

"But what?" He pulled her against him and kissed her again.

 

Have a little taste of "Taste Eternity" by Candi Delshamagus

Darcy took her time, enjoying the smooth skin beneath her lips and the weight of the other breast in her hand. She undressed Crystal slowly, exploring her body with tongue, lips and teeth. When her teeth grazed a tight, mocha-colored nipple, Crystal hissed with impatience and began pulling at Darcy’s clothes. Soon they were both naked and exploring each other’s bodies, gently at first, and then with more urgency.

Here’s a sneak peek at "Slowburn" by Nikki Prince

"See you want me just as badly as I want you. Admit it baby girl."

She groaned as he pressed his face into her neck and took in a long, deep breath as if taking her scent in.

"What are you doing?"

"God if you don’t know I’m seriously out of practice." He nipped her neck and her legs buckled. She would have fallen if he hadn’t caught her swiftly, pressing his towel-clad body to hers. She could feel every inch of him through the barrier of the terry cloth and her shorts. Damn if he didn’t feel as if he belonged there with her like this.

 

Take a look at "Safe Word" by Sarah Jane

"God,” he breathed into my hair. His mouth leaned into my ear. “You are so soft.” Our feelings and actions balanced on the point of a needle. We could go one way or another, but right now, nothing seemed more impossible than turning away from him. His eyes were half closed and by the way the heat emanated from his hands, I knew he felt the same.

Blurb:

A conversation with a stranger changes Amelia Hamilton's life forever. When she learns her grandfather faked his own death, normalcy slips from Amelia's grasp. To make matters worse, he is coming for her in less than seven days. What she hasn't determined is why.

Amelia's grandfather, Marius Benedict, once headed The Physician Coalition, an elite group of doctors who threw the Hippocratic Oath out the window. Years ago, they used a low-risk medical research study as a front for their experiments. Without their consent, innocents were injected with JackRabbit7, a hazardous substance used to alter their DNA. The victims were left with less-than-desirable super-human powers or excruciating death. Years after he disbanded the group, Marius has a new plan and is reforming The Coalition.

Max, a mysterious stranger from the Insurance Agency, offers to help keep Amelia safe. He introduces The Agency as an underground government organization that contains and eliminates those who intend to harm the world. To protect The Agency, the truth of their activities are concealed and replaced with sugar-coated stories in the media.

Over the course of the next week, Amelia has to accept the truth and learn who can be trusted. At midnight on her 23rd birthday, a contract between The Coalition and The Insurance Agency will expire, giving Marius full rein to approach his granddaughter and finish the project he started with her so many years ago.

Excerpt:

Shadows from snowflakes flitted across the walls, illuminated by a dull light from the window. As I passed through the entryway, something crunched under my boot: a set of keys. The coat rack leaned against the wall, leaving a pile of scarves and hats littering the floor. This was beyond Connor’s expectations of maid Amelia.

Something felt wrong.

In the living room, an ottoman rested on its side and a magazine lay open on the floor. A colorful article advertising Las Vegas blared from the pages. From the corner of my eye, the screen of Connor’s cell phone caught my attention. I watched it blink, communicating new messages awaited.

I went to the kitchen next and found the latest stack of mail on the island. The top envelope made me recoil when I saw the return address. It was another letter from the State of Washington. This one was addressed to Amelia Brooks.

My identity had been an issue for years. Since age 18, I had submitted multiple requests to change my last name from my grandfather’s back to my parents. With each attempt, the paperwork came back denied and stated my name was Amelia Benedict or another obscure surname starting with the letter “B”. Double-checking each field, I filled out the forms to read Amelia Hamilton, but was contradicted every time. I determined it a sick way for my grandfather to haunt me from the grave. The latest correspondence would have to wait.

A broken wine bottle and bandage wrappers were on the counter next to the refrigerator. Droplets of dark fluid created a path from the bottle to the sink, making me shudder. The room began to feel too warm and nausea flooded my stomach. I grabbed a rolling pin from the island, gripping it so tightly my knuckles hurt.

“Calm down, Amelia,” I said. “There’s a logical explanation and no one is going to hurt you.” I forced my mind away from childhood memories of a basement.

Swallowing hard, I tiptoed across the living room to the bedroom. As usual, the door was cracked open. I held the pin over my head, ready to attack in an instant. From where I stood, I couldn’t see more than the corner of the dresser and a beam of soft light. I took a deep breath and nudged the handle. A flashlight rested on the nightstand, pointed toward the ceiling. As I scanned the room, my jaw dropped and my heart paused.

“Connor?” I dropped the makeshift weapon at my feet.

Closure by Kim Carmichael

Today we are going to take at look at the book Closure by Kim Carmichael a release by Hot Ink Press..
 
My review::
 
Kim Carmichael's Closure is a well written story of love and closure.

Riley is a confident and success full woman, now. She was a unique and different teenager. Having re-invented herself after being scorned by the man she was in love with in high school. Then called to a meeting for the publisher she works for, in walks in none other than the man who scorned her back then.

Mike Taylor is a successful businessman, in town on business. He finds himself attracted to not only Riley's beauty but her strength. There is something about her that leaves him at a loss of the control he so highly maintains in his life.

There are secrets to be revealed and steamy scenes that are well written. Can Riley finally find closure after all these years or will the secrets she holds so close to her heart be the end of any chance at it?

The plot flows well and the sex scenes are well written with well developed characters you will love.
I highly reccomend this book to anyone looking for a great read. 18+
