BLOG TOUR & EXCERPT: Ruthless (Playboys in Love #2) by Gina Maxwell




Today we have the blog tour for Ruthless by Gina Maxwell! Check out this fantastic sexy romance and grab your copy now! 





People call me Ruthless for a reason. 

Whether I’m in the court room or in the bedroom, my reputation is well-earned. I’m either working hard, working out, or working my way into some woman's panties. But none of them share my particular kink, and I walk away feeling unsatisfied. Until I met her. 

She’s a friend of a friend, which makes her off-limits in my book. But then temptation had me by the balls and I had her up against a wall. She literally fucked my world off its axis, but it can’t happen again. My plan was avoidance, but that got blown to shit when my firm hired her as a new junior attorney. Now I’m her boss, and I’m supposed to act like I don’t want to bend her over my desk every five minutes. But I’ve never held myself back with anything before, so consequences be damned. It’s time to take what I want and show her how damn good it feels...to be ruthless.

EXCERPT

My fingers are clutching his shirt at his lower back like he’s my lifeline. I know if I let go, I’ll fall. Further under his spell, further into the oblivion of pleasure he’s promising with his taboo whispers. So I’m holding on, keeping myself grounded in the moment with the feeling of starched cotton pressed into my palms.

But there’s a voice in my head urging me to let go, and a big part of me—more than I’m willing to admit in this moment—that desperately wants to. I want to fall with this man who’s dominated my fantasies for months. Why not let him dominate me for real, like I’ve imagined at night with my eyes closed and my hand between my legs? All I have to do is be brave enough to trust that he’ll be there to catch me…and let go.

goodreads-badge.png







The title says it all! This bundle includes dirty alpha cowboys, innocent virgins ready to ride, and lots of ridiculous steam to heat up those sweet country nights.

If you’ve never saddled up with our boys in Texas, now is your chance! They’re hot, dirty, and wear tight jeans. What’s not to love?

Warning: This bundle doesn’t contain any new material, but it does contain a whole lot of sassy heroines with lots of curves! Get all of our cowboy books in one stop, and binge read your old favorites. Happy trails!





My Review of Lassoing The Virgin Mail Order Bride

I received an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. 

I never thought a book about a mail order bride would be something I would like, but then Alexa Riley wrote one and I couldn't wait to get my hands on it. When you read a synopsis for one of Alexa Riley's books, you know exactly what you are going to get and they always deliver! I've said this before and I will say it again....I can't wait to see what they come up with next!

Clare is out of options. She has no family, no money and sees becoming a mail order bride as her only option. Cash doesn't have time for finding a wife. The farm keeps him busy and like Clare, he feels that the mail order bride business is his only option. 

I absolutely LOVED these two. Before Clare arrived, Cash had some second thoughts and actually asked his foreman to put her on a train back home, but his foreman does the exact opposite and brings Clare home. Cash doesn't exactly make a first good impression on Clare, but she is determined to stick it out. She quickly realizes that while he is not quite the jerk he seems to be, he does have some Alpha tendencies. It doesn't take long for them to some decisions on how this relationship will work and before you know it they are saying "I love you." 

I find Alexa's stories so refreshing. This one is so freaking sweet and also ridiculously HOT. I read it in one sitting (I was at a Starbucks so I hope the people around me enjoyed my blushing) and I found myself thinking "I want more of Clare and Cash!" We do get a lovely little epilogue so we get to see them ten years down the road, but I still wanted more!  






My Review of Branding the Virgin

I received an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Once again Alexa Riley has given us a short and sexy book to help us through these hot days of summer. I mean I'm already taking cold showers to cool down from the heat so I may as well use them to cool down from reading. And that cover!  Hello sexy cowboy!

My first though was "pregnant virgin? what?" So of course I was intrigued. MJ wants a child, but has no one to have that child with so she gets inseminated. But a mix up finds her pregnant with Ty's child. Ty had been in a bull riding accident and had some of his sperm frozen for later use, NOT donor use. Oops. When MJ takes a job at TY's ranch she finds in front of the sexiest man she has ever seen. Now she just has to tell him that she is pregnant with his baby.

This book is short, sexy and sweet and like most of their books, goes from zero to a hundred in no time. If you are an Alexa Riley fan, this is a must read!



My Review of Roping the Virgin

I received an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. 

I loved Ty and Mary Jane in Branding the Virgin so I was more than happy to hear that the rest of the Jennings clan were going to get their happily ever after! In this book we get brother Blake and one of the town veterinarians, Luciana. 

When the opportunity arises for Luciana to live and work on Blake's ranch she doesn't exactly jump at the chance, but she knows that she needs the experience. Blake sees this as the perfect chance to not only get Luciana to his ranch, but to also make sure she never leaves. Don't worry...not in that "I'm gonna lock her up and throw away the key way". These two have been making eyes at each other (unbeknownst to the other person) for months and this is the perfect opportunity for them to get together. 

As always, Alexa brings the sweet and sexy with this one. I loved the way Blake took control and made Luciana his. And when her family came to visit and he told them how he wanted to marry her as soon as possible....**SWOON** I read this in one sitting and I look forward to seeing how the rest of the siblings make out!



My Review of the Wanted Virgin

I received an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. 

In the second book we were given a glimpse into what was going on with Trace. The Jennings siblings were worried about him when he becomes scarcer than usual and when they show up at his house he acts extremely skittish. Now we know why...he had Addison hiding out there.

Once Addison turns 18 and realizes that he father is about to give her to another man, she runs away. A terrible rainstorm causes her to crash her car and luckily Trace is the one who finds her. Like his brothers before him (and pretty much every male character in an Alexa Riley book), it is love at first sight.

These two were adorable and I absolutely loved them! Addison may have lived an extremely sheltered life, but she could immediately tell that Trace was a good man and just gave herself over to him completely. And his family accepted her, no questions asked.

This book is short. This book is very sweet. And this book is EXTREMELY sexy. But of course it is. It's an Alexa Riley book. 




My Review of The Virgin Cowboy

I received an advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. 

I love Dolly. The only girl of the Jennings clan is smart, sassy and she knows what wants. And what she wants is Brandon. She has wanted him from the moment she met him, but she was only sixteen. Now she is older and is sick and tired of waiting around for Brandon. When Brandon met Dolly, he developed feelings as well, but she was only sixteen. So he stayed away. Now she is definitely old enough, but he thinks Dolly deserves more. Dolly is determined to change her mind and just when she thinks she has him, he turns the tables on her.

This book is fantastic. I loved how Dolly antagonized Brandon and stretched his self control to his limits. And the fact that Dolly's brother Ty was like "Yeah, I know what's been going on (or hasn't been going on) and you have my blessing." I also liked that we got to see the other side of something that happened two books ago...it just put all the pieces of the puzzle together. It's the little touches like that that make Alexa's books so great.

As always the sexual tension between the main characters is ridiculously thick and the payoff is AMAZING. Like most Alexa Riley books, you will be able to read this story in one sitting and you will be very happy that all the Jennings kids have found their happily ever after. ESPECIALLY after reading the wonderful epilogue.

How do I know this, exactly? Well, not including the time I accidentally bleached my eyebrows or sprained my ankle changing a lightbulb...

I had sex with my best friend’s brother.

Zeke Elliott has been a thorn in my side for eleven years. A very sexy, very tempting, very freaking annoying one. With big…hands.

And now my clitoris has a crush on the guy.

Seriously. I can’t look at him without my vagina performing accidental kegels. Which would be fine, but he’s Cain’s brother. I hate him. He’s off limits, right?

Right.

Excerpt

This was no longer home to a fearless girl who had more love for Olivia than she deserved. This would now become a place of nightmares for her daughter. Would she ever be able to sleep in this room again? Would she ever want to sleep alone? Would she ever feel safe?

Olivia struggled to come to terms with what Melanie’s life would be like if she survived this. She hadn’t done anything to deserve this. Alexander wasn’t without his faults, and neither was Olivia, but Melanie was so young, so pure, so innocent. Now, at far too young an age, she would be jaded by the cruelties of the world.

Would she ever see her smile again?

Would she ever hear her carefree laugh?

Would she ever feel her unconditional love as she flung her arms around her?

Bleakness invaded Olivia right down to her core as she fell onto Melanie’s unmade bed. Sheets that were once warm from her presence had grown cold, and Olivia could no longer keep it in. She wasn’t just watching a made-for-TV movie about a successful, semi-famous family losing their daughter. She was living the nightmare. wishing with everything she had that this would all be over soon, that it wasn’t real.

Wake up!” Olivia screamed, slapping her face as relentless tears streamed down her cheeks. She curled into a ball, the torment growing inside her becoming unbearable. It felt like someone was ripping her open with sadistic apathy, the pace languid and sluggish, taking pleasure from each strained breath she struggled to capture. Her skin prickled with the heat of a thousand branding irons. No matter how loud she screamed, it wouldn’t dull the pain.

Wake up, Olivia!” she bellowed again, louder and more desperate. Nothing worked. No matter what she did, no matter how loud her cries, nothing would wake her from this nightmare.

Sobs wracked through her body as she fought for air. She tried to gain control over her body and tears, but it was useless. She was no longer in command of her own destiny. Even the seemingly innate task of inhaling and exhaling had become arduous and complicated. Melanie was her lifeline, her reason for living. Without her, Olivia’s heart gave out, her lungs refused to work, her body shut down.

Suddenly, a pair of familiar, strong arms cradled her, lifting her off the torturous bed, cocooning her in a shelter only they could provide. They comforted her sobs, giving her exactly what she needed. She cried into her husband’s chest, a hundred tears falling for every regret. No words were spoken. Lowering himself to the floor, he simply held her in his lap, wiping her tears, providing her with warmth in this cold, hateful world.

She didn’t know how many minutes ticked by as he remained there, silently assuring her with his presence that they would get through this, that everything would work out. Still, she knew they would never be the same. This had shaken their family to its core. There was no returning to the way things were before.

Olivia cried harder.

She cried for all the time she should have spent with her daughter instead of working tirelessly for one charity or another. She cried for all the times she told her no when she should have said yes. Yes, we can have pancakes for dinner. Yes, we can go feed the ducks at the pond. Yes, we can make Christmas cookies in July. 


Exhaustion set in as her cries subsided and she closed her eyes. The last thing she saw before drifting off was Melanie standing alone in a dark room, a blank expression on her pale face.
