The Complete Divine Trilogy by R.E. Hargrave

Now that the 2015 Golden Flogger Award Winners have been announced, I can move forward with offering all three novels of The Divine Trilogy as one complete installment! I'm super excited to be able to do this for the readers who have been with me from the beginning and the new ones who've yet to meet Master Jayden and his Irish lass, Catherine.

Enter a world where pleasure and pain are one . . .

when in the hands of a skilled Master.

Cover Designed by J.C. Clarke of The Graphics Shed

Release Date: August 2015

Genre: BDSM Erotic Romance

Length: Approximately 255k words / 754 pages Trade Paperback

Summary

An erotic read meant for adults, The Divine Trilogy is not your typical romance.

When you first meet Catherine and Jayden they aren’t looking for love at all. Catherine O’Chancey is a young submissive whose second Dom turned out to be an abusive fake. This is the story of her subsequent recovery and reentry into the BDSM lifestyle with the help of a new Dominant, Jayden Masterson. Come with me, and I’ll take you on the journey alongside Catherine and Jayden while their bond grows and deepens. It’ll be sexy and intense, but never fear, you get to be there to see the tender side of her new Dom as he helps her through her past tragedies.

The Divine Trilogy offers a different view of the BDSM world.

One that will enlighten readers and show them that those who live this Lifestyle often do so because it is a deep-seated need within their psyche, something that can't be ignored. And that need is okay because, when practiced properly, BDSM is all about being Safe, Sane, and Consensual. Find within the pages a sampling of the different dynamics which can occur amongst kinksters. Everything from hardcore pain sluts to docile “littles” who want to be pampered and coddled, but the important thing to remember is that everyone has a place of acceptance, without judgement, in this Lifestyle.

Time and again reviewers have said they couldn’t put this book down . . . even when they don’t usually read this genre.

PRAISE FOR THE DIVINE TRILOGY

"Never has a trilogy made me feel like it has come full circle. As much as I didn't want the story to end, when it did, it left me feeling complete and not lacking for anything. It was hard to say goodbye to my new friends but their story will stay with me."

~ Goodreads Reviewer

"How do you put into words the love that has grown as we watched Jayden and Erin start out as broken souls and evolve into the people they become in this book Surreal? The author has proven that with the right person, love and acceptance, you can bloom into the person you were meant to be all along and soar to heights that not even you could dream possible."

~ Tbird, Beyond the Valley of the Books

"Overall this trilogy was amazing and is the perfect trilogy for fans of BDSM romance. The theme was well researched and RE Hargrave absolutely nailed it."

~ Kirsty, Sarah and Kirsty's Book Reviews

"Brilliantly written, and with wonderful character development, The Divine Series is simply one of the best I’ve had the privilege of reading. Surreal, the last in the series, is the icing on this most delicious, most decadent of cakes. Not only are the scenes unique as well as sizzling, Hargrave gives us the right balance between heat and passion and an absorbing storyline, one never detracting from the other."

~ L.J. Harris, author of Just Like Pulling Teeth

BOOK SYNOPSIS

How do you survive, when the only life you’ve ever known disappears in a single night?

With more friends than she could count and the daughter of two wealthy attorneys, Bailey Dewitt had a life most kids dream about. A cheerleader, the auburn haired beauty lived in a large house, where she could afford to be and do whatever she wanted. Residing in a smaller community outside of Chicago, she attended high school, getting ready for college and the fabulous career that would one day be hers. And in a single night, she lost it all; the night her parents died.

Dragged away from the only home she has ever known and forced into the care of her renegade uncle, Bailey must learn to play by a new set of rules. Faced with tough choices, she soon learns that nothing will ever be the same. When she meets Caleb Cross, she realizes her life in Illinois had been a lie. For the first time in her life, she has the chance to be happy. That is, if she can earn her place among the people in the tiny prepper community of Lawson…

“Take care of my brothers then, ok?”

“What’s that supposed t’ mean?” he cut his glare back over to her.

“It means, if you decide to get rid of me, or send me away, or whatever. I mean, you guys are obviously happy to have them here, the way you all fawn over them. Maybe because you’re short on boys, I don’t know,” she kept her eyes on him, watching for his reaction to her hypothesis.

“I guess you noticed our ratio is a little off,” he chuckled.

“Yes,” she sighed loudly, “I noticed. That’s why I figure you’ll send me away. You don’t really have room for another girl. So when you do, please just take care of them. Ok?”

A Tag Novella You're It by Shari J. Ryan

Our little family has been together for four years, and life has been good, considering my track record. But In the blink of an eye, my ease was suddenly gone when I heard his terrifying words. I knew from the look on Tango’s face and the way he avoided my gaze—all hell was about to break loose. Now it seems like the dangers I spent years desperately avoiding are starting to threaten my happily ever after.

Maybe it’s because I let my guard down. Or maybe it’s because I was starting to trust again. But I can’t even trust the people closest to me, and now I remember why.

Screw with me, that’s one thing. Screw with my family, and we’ve got a problem…

BOOK SYNOPSIS

Carly Ruth Laden moved away from the small town she was born and raised in, and headed for the city of Carmingden. At the tender age of 22 years, Carly met her husband, Dorian Shiffer, a man every woman wanted for their very own. Dorian carried a secret which Carly unearthed and that secret shocked not only Carly, but her family as well. Strange events began to surround the Laden family. Unanswered questions along with the disappearance of Carly Ruth Laden Shiffer set in motion a series of events that would forever haunt the townsfolk of Burl and Helmsdale. Versions of the truth were what gathered together the townspeople of both these small towns. Everyone had their own opinions as to what happened to Carly and her brother, Decker Laden, and to Dorian Shiffer. Carly felt her seemingly perfect marriage was crumbling because her husband was having an affair. When she discovers Dorian was in fact having an affair, the truth of her husband’s apparent change is a shock Carly was not prepared for. Things turned from bad to worse when Carly decides to confront Dorian. Carly disappears. Her parents, Barbara and Drew, and her brother, are left to endure the agonizing and horrifying events about to take place. Events that no one ever thought possible. Carly’s past nightmares come back to haunt her, to take revenge. The Laden family becomes swept inside a tornado of changing degrees, where their lives are turned inside out, and where hope becomes a lost treasure buried somewhere unknown, somewhere deep and dark. No one is aware of the evil lurking in the woods along Laden Lane. Carly informs the sheriff of Burl of a mysterious truck parked just near Laden Lane. No one pays much mind to Carly’s suspicions. Everyone believes Carly has a crazy head. Since childhood, Carly has had an over-active imagination. Carly Ruth Laden Shiffer had become the boy who cried wolf.

EXCERPT

The world seemed eerily quiet as she pushed herself up from the hard packed dirt, only to fall back down. Her ankle hurt. Tears filled her eyes, as she glanced around. There stood the women from the mercantile, staring, and their eyes full of terror. She’d get no assistance from them.

John Hardy strutted into the street and laughed while he gestured for two of his men to pick her up. “Come on, honey, it’s time for our honeymoon.”

She heard the clomping of hooves and the turn of wagon wheels behind her but the wagon didn’t stop to help her either. By this time, a crowd had gathered and now there were men standing with the group of women. She tried to plead for help with her eyes but they glanced away.

Two men grabbed at her to haul her back into the saloon when a loud cocking of a gun erupted from behind.

“Put her down.” A man's voice threatened.

John stepped forward, thrusting out his chest. “Listen, Cinders, this is none of your business. It’d be in your best interest to leave things be.”

The world began to dim and spin, the smell of blood was the last straw. She fainted.

MY REVIEW:

I HAVE NEVER READ ANY OF KATHLEEN BALL'S BOOK BEFORE. I AM GLAD I DID. I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED. CINDERS' BRIDE IS BOOK ONE OF THE MAIL ORDER BRIDES OF TEXAS SERIES. I AM NOT A BIG FAN OF WESTERN BOOKS SO I WASN'T SURE WHAT TO EXPECT. I WAS PULLED INTO THE STORY FROM THE VERY BEGINNING. I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO READING THE REST OF THE BOOKS IN THE SERIES AND I WOULD LOVE TO READ SOME OF KATHLEEN BALL'S OTHER BOOKS TOO. I LOVE KATHLEEN BALL'S WRITING STYLE AND I REALLY ENJOY THIS STORYLINE. CINDERS' BRIDE WAS A FAST READ FOR ME. I COULDN'T WAIT TO FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENS NEXT.

SHANNON IS A MAIL ORDER BRIDE WHO TRAVELS TO TEXAS TO MARRY A RANCHER. BUT WHEN SHE ARRIVES, SHE LEARNS THAT JOHN HAS BEEN LYING TO HER FROM THE VERY BEGINNING ABOUT WHO HE IS. WHEN SHANNON REFUSES TO MARRY HIM, HE CUTS HER FACE WITH A KNIFE LEAVING HER SCARRED FOR LIFE. JOHN THINKS NO ONE WILL WANT HER AFTER THAT. SHANNON RECEIVES NO HELP FROM THE TOWNSPEOPLE. THEY JUST STAND BY AND WATCH. EXCEPT FOR A MAN NAMED CINDERS. I FELL IN LOVE INSTANTLY WITH HIM. HE IS SO UNLIKE THE TOWNSPEOPLE. HE IS KIND,CARING AND GENTLE WITH SHANNON AND STANDS UP FOR HER. IN ORDER TO PROTECT SHANNON'S REPUTATION AND TO PROTECT HER FROM JOHN, CINDERS MARRIES SHANNON. CINDERS TAKES SHANNON HOME TO HIS RANCH. SHANNON WORKS HARD AT THE RANCH AND EARNS THE RESPECT OF HER HUSBAND AND RANCH HANDS. EVEN THOUGH IT IS A MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE BOTH SHANNON AND CINDERS FINDING THEMSELVES FALLING IN LOVE. WILL THEIR LOVE SURVIVE THE OBSTACLES THAT STAND BETWEEN THEM?

I LOVED THE CONSTANT BICKERING BETWEEN THEM. IT WAS REALLY ENJOYABLE AT TIMES. CINDERS AND SHANNON DEFINITELY HAD THE CHEMISTRY BETWEEN THEM AND YOU COULD FEEL IT THROUGHOUT THE BOOK. THERE WAS CONSTANTLY SOMETHING HAPPENING AND THERE WAS A LOT OF ACTION. BOTH CINDERS AND SHANNON WERE VERY STRONG CHARACTERS AND STOOD UP FOR THEMSELVES AND OTHERS. I LOVED THE STORY AND WOULD RECOMMEND CINDERS' BRIDE AND THE REST OF THE SERIES. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A ROMANTIC WESTERN FILLED WITH LOT OF ACTION, THIS SERIES IS DEFINITELY FOR YOU. 5 STARS

The End Game by Kate Mcarthy Pre-Order Blitz

Title: The End Game

Author: Kate McCarthy

Release Date: September 8, 2015

Blurb

“Professional athletes are
pillars of their respective communities. They are heroes in the eyes of boys
and girls and are expected to conduct themselves in a manner that positively
represents their community.”

The public loves a good scandal. Seeing someone
fall from the pinnacle of success makes a great headline. No one knows that
better than I do. What started out as a promising career in college football,
spiraled into scandal and shame.

But being a hero is easier said then done.
Especially when there are those who expected to see the great Brody Madden
fail. I craved nothing except being the best—willing to do anything to prove
them wrong. But I went too far, and I tried too hard, and it broke me.

“At the time of going to print,
Jordan Elliott was unavailable for comment.”

I met Brody Madden in my senior year of college. An
Australian native on an international scholarship, I was the female soccer
sensation with stars in her eyes and no room for a hotshot wide receiver with a
chip on his shoulder.

But a heart bursting with ambition and a driving
fire to succeed isn’t made of stone. I became his strength, his obsession, and
the greatest love of his life. Only I wasn’t there when he needed me most.

This is a story about love and a game that takes
everything. Where the path to glory is paved with sacrifice. Where pressure
makes you, or breaks you, and triumph is born in the ashes of failure. Where
two people’s end game will change everything.

EXCERPT

She interrupted him. “Hold me, Gage. Just hold me. We could have died back there. My God, what would have happened to my mother?”

There were times to think and times not to think. Like now. Gage shut his eyes and held her. For a minute, he pretended Keven was safe. They were safe. That everything was normal. He inhaled Lainey’s scent, the feel of her breasts beneath her jacket. His hand traced the curve of her hip, the swell of her tight, round ass. Sweet Carolina, she felt good.

“Gage?”

“Mmm-hmm?”

She dropped her arms, took his head between her hands and brought his face forward until his lips were within grazing distance of her own. “I . . . want . . . you.” Each word was a puff of heat sliding out from her lips into his.

His body responded in the most elemental way. He wanted her. Bad. He wanted to make this respite from danger last just a little bit longer. But that was his dick talking, and the last time he’d listened, he’d gotten his rocks burned, not off. He inched back and put some space between them. “You’re in shock, Lainey. You don’t know what you’re saying.”

She feathered her lips over his. “I’m saying I want you.”

The backs of his knees quivered.

She brushed her lips over his a second time. “You. Gage Stuart.”

“Now who’s teasing?” he asked thickly.

“I’m not teasing, I’m begging.” This lip brush had a little tongue action.

He trembled. He’d told her she would beg for him.

“Isn’t that what you wanted?” She licked his lower lip. “Me to beg?”

His mouth was on fire. “You don’t know what you’re saying.”

“I do, Gage. This time, I do. Make love to me.” Her eyes were a rich, dark chocolate, heavy-lidded with passion. “I need to forget everything for a little while. Celebrate being alive.” Her arms went under his shirt. “No strings. No ulterior motives. Just two people taking comfort from each other.” Her jacket sleeve was slippery cold against his skin, but her fingers were hot as they grazed his belly, his nipples. He shivered.

He was standing in a cold cave with a warm woman crawling all over him. Wanting him. His need was great, his body was primed, the woman was ready and willing. So why couldn’t he pretend it was just about sex?

Because this was different. The why of it didn’t matter. It just was. He needed Lainey Hughes like he needed his next breath.

Maybe even more.

MY REVIEW:

I HAVE NEVER READ ANY OF LAURA TOBIAS' BOOKS BEFORE AND I AM GLAD I DID. WHAT LAINEY SEES IS A SUSPENSEFUL, ROMANTIC, ACTION PACT THRILLER FULL OF MYSTERY THAT KEEPS YOU ON THE EDGE OF YOUR SEAT. I WAS DRAWN INTO THE STORY FROM THE VERY FIRST PAGE UNTIL THE VERY END. I LOVE HOW THE AUTHOR KEPT GOING BACK TO LAINEY AND GAGE'S PAST LIFE AND THEIR LOVE. BOTH MADE A LOT OF MISTAKES AND THEY ARE A GETTING A SECOND CHANCE AT LOVE.

LAINEY AND GAGE ARE ON A JOURNEY AND A MISSION TO SAVE THE ONES THEY LOVE. IT IS A DANGEROUS MISSION AND THEY ONLY HAVE SO MUCH TIME TO REACH THEIR LOVED ONE BEFORE ITS TOO LATE. I LOVED THE CONSTANT BICKERING BETWEEN LAINEY AND GAGE. THE CHEMISTRY WAS INSTANT AND BOTH OF THEIR PERSONALITIES WERE CONSTANTLY CLASHING. DESPITE THEIR PAST CONNECTION, THEIR FEELING FOR ONE ANOTHER DEVELOPED OVERTIME. IT WAS NOT LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT WHICH I LIKED. THEY FELL IN LOVE WITH EACH OTHER FOR WHO THEY WERE. I LOVED THE STRUGGLE LAINEY WAS GOING THROUGH TO ACCEPT HER POWER AND WHO SHE REALLY WAS. IT WAS A CONSTANT BATTLE FOR HER AND IT SHOWED HOW STRONG SHE WAS. WHEN SHE FINALLY ACCEPTS WHO SHE IS AND WHAT POWER SHE POSSESS, EVERYTHING MAKES SO MUCH MORE MORE SENSE FOR HER. THE ONLY PROBLEM LEFT IS GAGE ACCEPTING THE TRUTH. WILL HE BE ABLE? WILL LAINEY AND GAGE REACH THEIR LOVED ONES IN TIME?

I RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO ANYONE WHO LOVE A GOOD ROMANCE SUSPENSE FILLED WITH ACTION AND MYSTERY. THE PAST LIFE WAS ANOTHER WONDERFUL TOUCH TO THE STORY. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS AUTHOR'S WRITING AND I WILL BE LOOKING FORWARD TO READING MORE OF HER BOOKS. SHE HAS A WAY OF PULLING YOU INTO THE STORY AND HOLDING YOUR ATTENTION TO THE VERY END. I COULD NOT PUT THE BOOK DOWN AND I COULDN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT. 5 STARS

She’s managed the first two. She’s still working on the growing up part.

Laura Tobias lives with her family, including two Shetland sheepdogs, in the Pacific Northwest. When she’s not reading or writing she’s either playing in the garden or spying on people at the grocery store.

Amazon / Goodreads / Nook / Blushing Books

I swallow anxiously, my heart racing at lightning speed in my chest. "I never do as I'm told. You should know that." We've had our own share of disagreements and butting heads in the past. This feels different, hotter, sexier. I feel my insides ache for release. Will he give it to me or tease me into submission?

Joel's hand slides beneath my back. His warm touch startles and arouses me. I feel his leg move between mine and his knee climb closer to my groin, adding enough pressure to elicit a moan. I don't know what will happen tonight and for the moment I don't care. I want him, more than I've ever wanted anything in my life.

"Bad girls get spanked," Joel whispers into my ear and flips me onto my stomach. Before I have time to respond or fight back, I feel his hands at my sides pulling down my pants and underwear, just enough to expose my bare flesh.

A taste of pole dancing, phone sex, and spankings combined with a lick of danger. A romantic erotica story that’s sure to leave your heart racing and pleased afterwards.

Amazon / Nook / Goodreads

“Hey sexy.” I hear Kaitlyn’s voice and my eyes widen glancing up, as the dancers are once again on the bar.

“Kai?” I can’t stop myself from calling her by name. I’ve always seen the dark-haired agent in a pants suit, one rare occasion a skirt. This is something else entirely.

Kevin removes his drink from the bar. “You know the dancer?”

Kaitlyn is up there wearing nothing more than a red g-string bikini. Her brunette locks cascade down her back and her makeup looks like a hooker must have put it on her. She’s got thick turquoise eyeliner and lime green glittery eye shadow.

“Long story. We used to work together.” It’s not a lie but in the way Kevin’s mind is ticking, he must think I had been an exotic dancer. Not the case! Though, what harm could come from him believing it to be true? It is safer for everyone, than Kevin knowing I’m working undercover.

Kevin laughs and his cheeks redden. I’m guessing it’s the beer. He’s looking over Kaitlyn a little too intimately and long for my pleasure.

“Quite a story, I bet,” Kevin says. “Maybe you can share it on our second date?”
