REVIEW: SINDER 1: EXPERIMENTATION by JANE DEVREAUX


Title: SINDER – Experimentation
Author’s name: Jane Devreaux
Printed version pages: 276
Genre: New Adult

BLURB:

A rumor can make you popular and it can make you dangerous. A rumor can change everything.
Her black, too large eyes with too much makeup have already made shudder more than one. It has been said that her parents are in jail; that she beat up to death a guy who dared to make fun of her name. She is Sandre River.
He’s the handsome popular football player. The one going out with the gorgeous and too prude Marcy Shepard; the one who has all girls drooling over him. He is Josh Anderson.
Sandre will never admit she likes him.
Josh will never admit his hormones are boiling.
A single provocation from Sandre will be enough to turn their lives upside down. “You want my advice? Get yourself a girl, whichever one, empty your balls, and turn your brain back on.”

Who would have imagined that those words could lead to an incredible love story?




REVIEW:

Let me start off by saying this book was nothing I expected, and everything I could want in a book. Jane Devreaux is a new to me author, but I love her writing style. She made me care about these characters, and wrote a book that was hard to put down. I got mad every time someone called out to me or did anything to distract me from finishing Sinder. I finished it in one day, and was mad every time I had to put it down. I know my kids thought I was crazy.

Sandre is a seventeen year old high school student and a outcast. She likes being the outcast, and has purposely portrayed herself that way for her own reason. Josh is the star football player, the popular guy in school with the perfect catholic girlfriend. He never payed any attention to Sandre until their teacher partners them for an assignment. Josh is Leary of Sandre at first, he doesn't know if the rumors about her are true, but as he gets to know her, he starts to recognize the real her and everything changes. Sandre has had a crush on Josh since she first laid eyes on him, but never thought anything would EVER come of it. She definitely wasn't his type, and he seemed to be totally in love with his perfect girlfriend. She thought they would just work on the assignment and that would be the end of their interaction. After their first study session Sandre recognize something that Josh desperately needs that his girlfriend is unwilling to give, and makes a decision to give him what he needs, no strings, no emotion, no attachment, just physical release for both of them. What starts out as just a friends with benefits arrangement turns into so much more for both of them. They begin a journey of discovery with each other that's unexpected and turns into an obsession for both of them.

This story was emotional and unexpected. I felt so many things and the revelations about both characters that the author slowly reveals will leave you with your mouth hanging open, and wondering what's next. The closer I kept getting to the end of the book the more agitated I got because I didn't want it to end. As soon as I finished I went directly to Jane Devreaux's Amazon page to see if the sequel was available. I can't tell you how heartbreaking it was to find that the next installment was only available in FRENCH! Talk about HURT feelings. I'm in serious withdrawals over this book, and I can't begin to describe how hard it will be to wait until the sequel is translated in English. I'm not sorry I read Sinder 1: Experimentation, not by a long shot. I loved this book, but I will say if I had known how it was going to end I definitely would have waited until I had the next book before I read it. This waiting is going to kill me. I seriously recommend this book to anyone who likes the New Adult genre with heat. Or anyone who loves a good coming of age story with lots of angst and emotion.
5 STARS!!

I received this book by the author in return for a honest review. My opinions are my own.

COVER REVEAL- THE VEGAS MIRACLE by LIZ CROWE




Title: Vegas Miracle
Author: Liz Crowe
Genre: MMF Ménage Romance
Re-Release Date: May 5, 2015
Host: DRC Promotions



About The Book

Ryan and Grace Sullivan have all the outward indications of a happy life: money, success, an undeniable physical attraction that quickly evolved from whirlwind relationship to marriage. But lately, Ryan's become moody and distant. As their relationship starts to crumble, Ryan discovers something about himself he can't admit just as Grace realizes the young man she encounters at an invitation only party, Henri Christophe, a celebrity chef with the most successful restaurant in Las Vegas, is her husband's lover. But Henri holds a secret himself. He wants to be more to both of them.

As they attempt to make their unconventional arrangement work, Ryan's deep-seated fear of relationship failure continues to thwart everyone's happiness. When he finally walks away instead of confronting the emotional connection the trio shares, he returns to find their lives flipped inside out. A sought after hotel and resort consultant, Ryan has yet to meet a problem he couldn't solve. But when it comes to his own heart, he may be too late.


Excerpt

Her skin prickled with exposure to the cool air as his strong hands moved slowly up both legs. Henri focused on her hips, kneading out tension she always held there. But the innocent nature of the moment was long gone. The sensation of his strong hands on her made her want to lift up and expose herself to him. If he didn’t watch it she was going to come right here against this silly massage table.

"Let’s turn you over," he said as he held the blanket up modestly, which made her chuckle. He'd been close enough to finger her a few minutes ago and she wouldn’t have stopped him either so why the sudden propriety now?

She lay on her back as he sat next to her and took her arm on his lap, working through her shoulder tightness. When her fingers brushed up against what was an unmistakable hard on under his shorts, she gasped and pulled her hand away.

"Sorry," she whispered, mortified.

"It’s okay."

Henri put her arm back in place so he could continue to work his way down to her hand, which he caressed finger by finger and into her palm in a way that caused her breathing to quicken.

When he closed his lips over her index finger and sucked, her entire body zinged in response. He paid the same careful attention to each digit and ended with a light lick to the center of her palm, nearly sending her over the edge.

She was panting by the time he switched over to her other arm. She left her hand in his lap and brushed her fingers ever so lightly across the silky fabric of his shorts, just to see how he’d react. He shifted closer to allow her more contact and she stroked his full length twice before he took that hand to give it the same thorough and firm caress. By the time he closed his lips over her finger again, nothing prepared her for the fire of emotion and pure need his lips and tongue ignited.

Henri placed her arms under the blanket and passed a very light hand over her nipples, now hard buds of flesh poking through the fabric. Her breath came in shaky gasps by the time he uncovered one leg and propped her foot against his naked chest. She gaped at his amazing muscle definition as he bent her knee to flex her hip. With each bend, his arm came in direct contact with her bare pussy.

Henri kneaded the flesh of her thigh before moving down to rub each toe, then the sole of her foot, which sent those same zinging, nerve rattling sensation straight up to the top her head. She stretched her hands over her head and allowed the blanket to fall away. Eyes closed, she reveled in the pure sensation of his touch. By the time he switched over to her other leg and placed her foot on his chest again, a low moaning sound had begun in in her throat and had to force herself not to grab him and pull him on top of her. He stretched her knee towards her chest.

"You're very flexible, yes?" His voice was hoarse.

"Yes," she breathed, tilting her hips up to make contact with his arm.

The last time he bent her knee she felt his tongue flick her nipple. She realized he was pulling the sheet off her completely and she gave no resistance. Raising her arms up over her head again, Grace stretched like a cat in the windowsill.

She heard him make a sound deep in his throat before he ran his strong hands from her shoulders down to her nipples and across her stomach. He stopped to knead her hips once more then kept moving down her thighs to her calves and then to her sensitized feet. She arched up and gasped as she felt his tongue again, this time right on her clit. He teased her flesh then sucked briefly before standing up.

Grace kept her eyes closed, her body was on fire, every nerve ending crying out for more. But he seemed to be done so she struggled up to a seated position.

""Would you like a bit more? An internal massage, perhaps?"

"Yes," she nearly yelled out then felt herself blush. “I mean…that’s sort of a lame line, though.”

He chuckled. “I’ll work on my lines a little, after this.” His low, accented voice made her shiver.

Blurb
Positive. With two little lines on a pregnancy test, everything in Lizzy Rollins' ordinary life is about to change forever. And all because of one big mistake in Vegas with Ben Nicholson, the irresistibly sexy bass player for Stage Dive. So what if Ben's the only man she's ever met who can make her feel completely safe, cherished, and out of control with desire at the same time? Lizzy knows the gorgeous rock star isn't looking for anything more permanent than a good time, no matter how much she wishes differently.
Ben knows Lizzy is off limits. Completely and utterly. She's his best friend's little sister now, and no matter how hot the chemistry is between them, no matter how sweet and sexy she is, he's not going to go there. But when Ben is forced to keep the one girl he's always had a weakness for out of trouble in Sin City, he quickly learns that what happens in Vegas, doesn't always stay there. Now he and Lizzie are connected in the deepest way possible...but will it lead to a connection of the heart?
deep teaser 4.jpg
Excerpt #1
"C'mon. How have you been, really? What's been going on with you?" he pushed. I frowned at him and he frowned right back. "Liz, please."
I groaned in defeat. "All right, I suck."
"Why do you suck?"
"So very many reasons." I pushed my hair back from my face—no more hiding. "Pregnancy sucks. It's natural, my ass. I finally stop throwing up, but I'm tired all the time. Giving up coffee was horrendous. None of my clothes fit right because of these stupid breasts, and they ache constantly. I have to pee like every thirty seconds, and then to top it off, I cry every time the Healthy Hound ad comes on. It's ridiculous"
Little wrinkles appeared either side of his nose. "You cry at a dog food ad?"
"Yes. The puppies jump all over each other to get to their mother and it's just so beautiful, with their cute little tails wagging and everything."
He just stared at me.
"I know its psycho, Ben. Believe me, I'm well aware of this."
"Hey, it's fine." He covered a smile with his hand. Too late, the bastard.
"You try dealing with all these hormones going apeshit. Crap. Apeshoot."
"Apeshoot?"
"I'm trying not to swear," I explained. "You want the first word our child comes out with to be something bad?"
"No. Gotcha." The man was incredibly bad at hiding a grin. "No swearing."
