ABOUT THE AUTHOR

cd reiss new bio.jpg

CD Reiss is a USA Today and Amazon bestseller. She still has to chop wood and carry water, which was buried in the fine print. Her lawyer is working it out with God but in the meantime, if you call and she doesn’t pick up, she’s at the well, hauling buckets.

Born in New York City, she moved to Hollywood, California to get her master’s degree in screenwriting from USC. In case you want to know, that went nowhere, but it did embed TV story structure in her head well enough for her to take a big risk on a TV series structured erotic series called Songs of Submission. It’s about a kinky billionaire hung up on his ex-wife, an ingenue singer with a wisecracking mouth; art, music and sin in the city of Los Angeles.

Critics have dubbed the books “poetic,” “literary,” and “hauntingly atmospheric,” which is flattering enough for her to put it in a bio, but embarrassing enough for her not to tell her husband, or he might think she’s some sort of braggart who’s too good to give the toilets a once-over every couple of weeks or chop a cord of wood.

If you meet her in person, you should call her Christine.

BOOK TOUR: Caged Series by Shay Savage





Liam & Tria’s gritty love story concludes in RELEASED!


AVAILABLE NOW

Released (Book Three) Caged Series

Barnes & Noble: http://bit.ly/1D2xeFY

Oblivion is a sweet, sweet place.

No pain. No disturbing thoughts of the past. No guilt from my recent actions.

Deep down, there is still a part of me that knows how screwed up I am. I don’t see a way out, not now. Tria’s gone, and the possibility of her forgiving me in my current state is exactly zero. I know I have to pull myself together, accept my responsibilities, and try to make amends, but I have no idea where to start.

No job. No apartment. I’m living on the streets with the other junkies. As little as I had to offer Tria before, I have nothing to give her now. The only way out is to come clean and tell Tria the truth about my past, but the idea of reliving the memories is so painful, I can’t think about it long enough to figure out a solution.

I’ve hit rock bottom, and I don’t even know which way is up any more.




EXCERPT

I reached out and touched the edge of the pillow. It was insanely soft and warm. I stroked it, and images of Tria’s breasts crawled through my head, making me smile. I stroked my cock as I thought about her, but I couldn’t come.

I could hear a voice in the other room, but it didn’t concern me, so I didn’t move. Through heavy eyelids, I watched the piles of dirty laundry all over the floor. I found shapes of animals in the patterns, just like cloud pictures.

“The beans are gone.”

I rolled my head to the side and looked up at Krazy Katie’s face. I smiled and tried to say something, but my tongue wasn’t cooperating. I focused on her eyes as they stared down at me quizzically.

“Trains need an engineer,” Krazy Katie said.

“It’s okay,” I said. My tongue still felt weird, all numb and heavy. I twisted it around in my mouth, and it tickled my teeth. I blinked a couple of times before looking back at my neighbor. “I got the helm. I’m all good.”

Did trains have a helm, or was that just boats? I laughed.

Krazy Katie covered her eyes with one hand. I could see her chest rising and falling as she took long breaths. I started counting slowly in my head but quickly forgot the number.

“Left the station,” she said quietly. “No engineer. Kicked in the caboose. Nothing but tracks.”

She turned in slow motion, and I watched vapor trails of her dull blue T-shirt swirl around the room as she left. I heard the window slide shut and then silence.

“I’m all good,” I whispered.

There was no reply.

Even though my arms and legs were way too content to be bothered with moving, I shoved myself out of bed anyway. My rig was sitting on the kitchen table, all ready to go. I was still pretty high, but I could feel darkness closing in around me, and I didn’t want it.

I wanted warmth and happiness.

Plastic tube, arm slap, needle prick.

“Like a fucking pro.”

I lay my head on the table as the fluid sensations rippled through me. Tria didn’t matter. She’d forgive me in time. In fact, she was probably already over it. How could she not be?

“I’m good. Really, I am.”

I was never one to lie to myself, but it was getting easier all the time.

IN THE DARK (Book 2) August 25, 2015

Stuck spending the summer with his screwed up family, Gabriel Walker is bored out of his mind and looking for an adventure. And he seems to find it with the hot girl who lives next door. The attraction between them is instant. Electric. Soon they’re spending every stolen minute together. Talk about the perfect summer fling…

Lucy isn’t what she seems. She doesn’t live next door—she’s the girl who’s been hired to house sit for the summer while the family goes on a worldwide vacation. If Gabe wants to believe she’s a spoiled rich girl looking for some fun, she can go along with that. After the summer, she’ll never see him again.

They don’t count on running into each other at college. Now Lucy must keep up the pretense of being a rich girl—and it’s exhausting. She knows she’s falling in love with Gabe and she’s scared he feels the same. Will he still care about her when he discovers the truth?





My Review

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

 As soon as I finished Fair Game I couldn't wait to read the rest of the series. Shep's friends gave him so much grief for falling in love, so I was looking forward to Gabe and Tristan meeting the same fate. 

While sunbathing one day Lucy noticed Gabe watching her, so she let him watch. For weeks. Gabe eventually gets up the courage to actually talk to Lucy and he talks her into hanging out. Gabe goes to her place after being out to dinner with his parents. Unfortunately for him, he had a few too many drinks at dinner and ends up making a TERRIBLE first impression. I won't tell you what happens because it is actually quite funny, but this is part of the fall out. 
“Let me make it up to you,” I toss out as a last bid. She comes closer to me, her hand shooting out to touch my chest. Hope lights me up but then—she just gives me a hard shove and I stumble out of the pool house backwards.
Damn, the girl is strong.
“No,” she says as she pulls the pool house door shut behind her.
“I’ll take you out tomorrow. Dinner, a movie, whatever you want to do.” Hell, I’ll make her dinner and the only thing I know how to cook is a grilled cheese sandwich and a quesadilla, which is pretty much one and the same.
She shakes her head—very firmly. “No thanks.”
“Let’s go hang out at the beach tomorrow afternoon. Soak up the sun, walk in the waves.” I sound like a cheesy asshole and I’m pleading. Oh, shit. I never plead, not with chicks. I never have to.
“I don’t think so.” Did she waver? Nah, she didn’t waver. This chick is tough as nails. Passionate as all get out with a body sexy enough to make my head spin just looking at her.
And she hates me, because I somehow fell asleep mid-kiss.
I’m a complete idiot. If the guys ever find out about this, I’m screwed.
Clearing my throat, I make one more attempt. “Lucy…”
She holds her arm out, indicating I need to get away from her pronto. “See you later Gabe.”
Nodding once, and with my proverbial tail between my legs like a chastised puppy dog, I leave her place and head back to mine.
So as you can see, Lucy is not going to make things easy for Gabe. He has to work to make Lucy give him another chance and thankfully she does. That second chance goes extremely well and the two end up spending a lot of the summer together. What Gabe doesn't know is that Lucy is keeping a very big secret from him. She is not the girl he thinks she is, but she figures that keeping the truth from him for the summer won't be a problem. But when the two of them cross paths at college, things get complicated. I kept waiting for the truth to come out and it happened in a way that I wasn't expecting. 

 I love how hard Gabe fell for Lucy. Gabe had everything handed to him from the minute he was born, so I liked the fact that he had to work to get Lucy. He knew that she was special and it did not take long to realize that she was the one for him. On multiple occasion Gabe tried to forget about Lucy, but he just couldn't do it. He was determined to make Lucy a permanent fixture in his life. 

 I LOVED Lucy. She was this beautiful, headstrong, funny, women and I knew as soon as she met Gabe, he had met his match. Unlike Gabe, she had to work extra hard for everything in her life. She wasn't necessarily ashamed of where she came from, but she was worried that Gabe would look down on her. I think at some point she realized Gabe wouldn't care, but she was in too deep at that point. 

 Gabe and Lucy were HOT together. Their chemistry was off the charts and it didn't take long for either of them to fall for the other person. He genuinely cared for her and when things went a bit south I was proud of the way he handled things. 
So two down, one to go! The final book in this series will be Tristan's story. Let's just say that I am not happy with that man and I hope that he has to work extra hard to get the girl. Like really, really hard. And it will take a lot for me to like him again.

PRE-ORDER BLITZ & GIVEAWAY: The End Game by Kate McCarthy




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.
