Book Title: To Dare a SEAL
Author: Sara Jane Stone
Release Date: 11/16/15
Genre: Contemporary Romance (HOT)
Tour Host: DRC Promotions


Book Blurb

Playing best man in his teammate’s Las Vegas wedding is not U.S. Navy SEAL Jack Barnes’ idea of a vacation—especially when the maid-of-honor is the one woman who knows how to push his buttons. Now his teammates are taking bets on whether he’ll end up in the fiery bartender’s bed. Not one to turn away from a challenge, Jack vows to seduce Natalie Lewis. And he’ll do so on his terms—demanding complete control.

The tantalizing SEAL may have a hand-over-your-panties smile and a body she’d love to explore, but there’s no way Natalie’s falling into his bed. No, she’s going to get revenge. After bringing Jack to his knees with a series of Sin City dares, she’ll walk away. It’s the perfect plan—until it backfires. Beneath his devil-may-care attitude, Jack’s unbridled desire proves irresistible. But he also requires the one thing Natalie can’t give. Control.

The first book in the sexy new Sin City SEALs series by Sara Jane Stone!

He can resist everything...except her.

For the first time in her life, art therapist Lucia Lewis is ready to live. And the masquerade ball in Las Vegas is just the place to find a ridiculously hot guy to complete her wicked to-do list. The only rule? Her elegant Venetian mask-which conceals the scars that have always held her back from the life she deserves-stays on.

Navy SEAL Cade Daniels heads to Vegas on a mission to keep his best friend's little sister out of trouble. Except the woman he's sent to find is all heat and flame...and perfectly capable of handling herself. And him. But the moment Lucia's mask slips, the need to heal her, body and soul, is complete and absolute temptation.

But revealing himself could cost him the one thing he isn't willing to risk...his heart.

BOOK

BLURB:


Researcher Maggie Donovan has no luck with men, and it doesn't help that she can't keep

her eyes off of her sexy boss – the one everyone else in the office calls The Beast.

Relationships in the office are forbidden. So no one is more surprised than Maggie when she

pretends to be his fiancée to save him during a difficult situation. Not only has she put her job on

the line, but the future of the company.


Billionaire Benjamin Gale III doesn't believe in love or romance, but the look on his

mother's face when Maggie tells her that she's his fiancée is worth millions. Instead of firing her

for her insubordination, he goes along with the ruse. In his arms–and in his bed–she'd be

everything he could ever want...which is why he can't have her.


But if he doesn't let her go, they'll lose everything...

Blog Tour Review & Giveaway: Overwhelm by Layla Messner




Title: Overwhelm

Author: Layla Messner

Release date: 11/13/15



Summary from Goodreads:


Meet the three teenagers responsible for sinking Atlantis:

KALIOPE is an empath, a water person who feels other people’s emotions as if they are her own. All she wants is to grow up and escape her cruel mother.

DANICA is Kaliope's guardian and secret lover. She will protect Kali, no matter the cost to herself or anyone else.

CHIARAN is the reckless prince of the fire people. His deepest wish is to be seen as something other than a monster.

When Chiaran arrives in Atlantis, he's the first fire person to set foot on the island in a hundred years. Kaliope naturally considers him an enemy and attacks him. But the battle reveals that the two have more in common than anyone could have guessed.

Anyone, that is, except the living crystals who feed elemental energy to Atlantis.

The citizens of Atlantis depend on that energy to create better and better technologies, homes, and standards of living. Each year, they use more energy—and the crystals become more exhausted.

Sixteen years ago, the crystals came up with a plan to make it all stop.

As Kaliope’s fight to escape her mother’s control winds her tighter and tighter into the crystals’ plot, she struggles to make sense of her confusing feelings for Chiaran and Danica.

With three teenage antiheroes, a bisexual love triangle, and an island about to sink, OVERWHELM by Láyla Messner is a darkly sensual fairy tale about growing up against all odds.


Review:


★★★

Overall, this book was okay. It wasn't everything that I wanted it to be, but I'm not sorry that I read it either. Initially, before reading it, I was drawn into the book by the promise of a bisexual love triangle with an Atlantean backdrop. Not to mention, of course, the insanely gorgeous cover. I had high hopes for it.

I'll start with the positives. I did like the extent to which the reader gets to know the characters. They felt like they were given depth and a lot of thought, they became real on the page. They had well thought out/well explained backstory, and I felt like overall I had a pretty good handle on each of them as a person. This is a big plus for this book.

Unfortunately, I think this book bites off a bit more that it can chew. It seemed like there were way too many things happening at once. There was a lot to try and follow, and honestly I'm not sure that I followed it all. I was left with more questions than I was answers, but I'm guessing there will probably be a book two that will clear some of that up. The different characters' plots became smooshed together for me, and it was hard to keep track. At least that made this book far from boring.

All in all, I really like the concept for this book. I like the mythology of Atlantis, and I like the characters. Even the ones I didn't like so much, I felt like I knew them well enough to not like them in a good way? If that makes sense. I don't know that I'll be rushing out to get the sequel when it comes out, but it's worth a read. There's never a dull moment, that's for sure.

I received a copy in exchange for my honest review.
