Fall Into You


Fall Into You (A Loving on the Edge Novel)
By Roni Loren        



********* An Overview*********

He'll do anything for you. But you'd better say please.

When tomboy sports reporter Charli Beaumonde loses a dream TV job because she's not girly enough for primetime, she's determined to land a big scoop and prove her boss made a mistake. But when she gets too close to a football scandal and finds her life threatened, Charli accepts an offer from family friend Grant Waters to hide out at his place--even if Grant predicts nothing but trouble from his buddy's hard-headed, uncompromising, irrepressible, younger sister. There's one more problem...

Grant's "place" is The Ranch, a BDSM resort in Texas, and he's used to being in charge --even if that means trying to keep Charli in line. But much to Grant's surprise, she's intrigued--even envious--of his trainees. They're the epitome of what she's never been: sexy, beguiling, and totally irresistible to a man. Still, Grant doesn't believe for a minute that the sharp-tongued Charli has it in her to be anyone's submissive. But Charli's already on her knees vying for the chance to prove that even the Master can be wrong sometimes.

My Thoughts

When I start a book, I always go in with very high expectations, as I am sure you do, too. I expect the author to create characters that I cannot only believe in, but hopefully relate to, one way or another. I expect them to create a setting that I can close my eyes and imagine myself in. I expect stories that wrap me up and take me inside them. I also expect to develop a bond with the characters, for however long the story is. Having said that, the question now is, did Mrs. Loren successfully meet my expectations with Fall Into You the third in her Loving On the Edge series? ABSOLUTELY!

Charli was a lot like looking into a mirror for me. I wont go into all of the “what does she mean?” here, but in all of my reading of books, no heroine seemed to smack me between the eyes like Charli. She is a seemingly tough as nails woman who has to come face to face with some inner doubts, and there is no one who is better suited to accept the challenge that is Charli than Grant Waters.

Grant is the –in my opinion- greatest type of hero. He is former military. Former CIA. Successful businessman. Unflinchingly dominant with his sexual desires. And, underneath his rough and ready cowboy exterior, a softie when it comes to love. Grant is more than willing and able to take Charli on.

The story revolves around Grants vineyard slash secret BDSM club that is outside of Dallas, Texas city limits. Yes, we have vineyards out here. Yes, as Charli’s character is investigating, we love our football here in Texas. No, I have yet to find anything like Grant –um, his club, here in the Dallas area (but I am still searching). Ms. Loren creates such a beautiful image of these grounds on her pages that you can almost feel the Texas breeze in the air.

This story is, ultimately, a revelation about both characters. It is steamy, sexually charged, exciting, and real. What a great story to introduce 2013 with!

Although this is the third in a series, it can be read alone, but why would you want to? Do I adore this series? YES! Would I recommend it to you? YES! What are you waiting for? You know you want to… Don't just live on the edge, love on the edge!

Fall Into You is available in both paperback and ebook formats.

If I Were You

If I Were You
Book One of the Inside Out Trilogy
by Lisa Renee Jones

I have never before read Ms. Jones, but she was referred by a friend who wanted my take on this particular story.  I am hesitant to compare this work with any other stories, but I do not see how I can write this without mentioning that it does, in fact have some 50 similarities. But I think that Ms. Jones took that theme and enhanced it, made it better, more... interesting.

The story circles around a very wealthy, and moody, artist, Chris. Sara, a high school English teacher who has her Masters degree in Art, but no career in that field, yet. And Mark, another too wealthy for his own good, moody, art gallery owner. Both men are strong, sexually demanding Doms in the BDSM lifestyle, and they are now competing for Sara.

I did enjoy this story, I enjoyed the curiosity inspired by Ms. Jones about which man will be the "right"one for Sara, who will be her protector and who will be the poison? I must admit that at the end of book one, I have not figured that one out.  Ms./ Jones does not stop with that little game, no, she's very clever in this story, adding in danger, and leaving you staring at the page stupidly because she ended it there, in the middle of the exciting mystery that envelopes the main characters.

I am not going to go any further into this story, I am hopeful that you will get caught up on your own in her book! Do I recommend this book? Yes! If you are hesitant about the BDSM thing, this book is very light in it. But I will tell you that it is hot!

This book is set for release in both paperback and ebook on August 24, 2012, through Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Kobo, Smash, All Romance and iTunes iBook.
