She’s forbidden. Saffron Carlton is the darling of the big screen, starlet on the red carpet, and wife of mega producer Felix Carlton.

The silver limelight is tainted the day the couple announce their divorce. He’s flawed. Raised in squalor, fed on violence and poverty, Cas Smith knows the underbelly of the world. He’s not looking for fame or fortune. He’s looking for a job to get him the hell away from the danger of illegal fighting, and comes face to face with the woman who ran all those years ago. Unable to turn down her job offer, he agrees to be her bodyguard and personal trainer, all while she hides her secrets. He had no intention of letting her back into his heart.

Title: Scared of Forever (Scared, #2)

Author: Jacqueline Abrahams

Release Date: December 14, 2014

Synopsis

Every lie, no matter how small, has some degree of truth.

Five months after moving to New York City, Emily is engaged to Blake Carson, future doctor and the man who she believes to be the love of her life. Until she starts to realize that the foundation upon which she’s building her future is based on a series of Blake’s self-serving lies.

Blake can’t let her go. He can’t continue to deceive Emily, either. But Blake’s biggest problem is that he has to maintain the life he has become accustomed to, at any cost. And that means keeping his overbearing mother happy, and keeping Emily ignorant.

Tyler Carson left New York City two years ago, happy to leave behind all of the Carson family drama. Until he comes home and meets Emily. Falling in love with his brother’s fiancée was easy. Protecting her from his family was necessary. Leaving her was almost impossible, knowing that he was breaking her heart, and his own.

Finding solace in her friendship with Tyler, Emily is forced to face the reality that Blake is not the man she thought he was. But neither is Tyler, the friend who gave her the clarity she needed, and then left her alone to pick up the shattered pieces of her life. Heartbroken and deserted, Emily has had enough of the Carson brothers.

But sometimes, love is not that which sends us soaring, but that which keeps us grounded. Can Emily ever bring herself to love another Carson completely?

Secrets, lies and lust-filled nights, all in the name of the screwed-up pursuit of happily ever after, Scared of Forever is the second novel in the Scared Series, which features characters from Scared of Beautiful, but can be read as a standalone.

Review

Holly Madison sempre ficou com o pé atrás no que toca aos homens, com o pai preso por ter fugido de um acidente que resultou na morte de uma mulher quando ela era pequena, Holly cresceu apenas com a figura materna.

Tristian quando a mãe morreu num acidente de carro em que ele também ia, não conseguiu ultrapassar essa fase da sua vida a forma que ele arranjou foi entrar no mundo das drogas e a vida de playboy. Para melhorar a sua vida, Tristian abriu um ginásio com aulas de kickboxing, e é onde ele e Holly sentem a atração entre os dois pela primeira vez.

Holly tem a sua vida bem planeada, não procura uma relação pois não consegue confiar nos homens para que isso seja possível. Tristian não quer ninguém porque é um playboy e assentar na vida para ele parece uma miragem.

Uma noite sem querer transforma-se em duas e uma noite Holly decide surpreendê-lo e dá de caras com Tristian e Giggles em actos mais impróprios para os olhos inocentes. Destroçada e sempre a pensar nele, digamos que ele não a deixa esquecê-lo com mensagens de texto e chamadas que Holly deixa ir para o voice mail, o pensamento é sempre Tristian Tristian Tristian.

Holly Madison já sofreu ao longo da sua vida, mostra-se ser forte, com a cabeça no lugar e objetivos definidos e pronta a cumpri-los, por vezes apesar de ter problemas de confiança mostra que por vezes é bom não pensar e atirarmo-nos de cabeça e seguir o que o coração nos manda.

Tristian Holt por Holly vai tentar ser um homem melhor.

A história não começa com normalmente é hábito, as personagens já se conheciam no inicio deste livro, é uma leitura rápida e cativante, é fácil apaixonarmo-nos pelo Tristian e a sua personagem é a que tem uma mudança mais evidente ao longo do livro. É uma boa continuação do livro anterior Emma Chase e sem duvida que aos poucos vamos ficando curiosos com as outras personagens e querendo saber mais sobre elas.

Holly Madison has something that pulls her back when it comes to man, with her dad being arrested for leaving an car accident that resulted in the death of a woman when Holly was little, Holly grew only with the mother figure.
Tristian's mother died in a car accident, he never overcame that moment in his life and that is when he enters in a world of drugs and becames a playboy. To improve his life, Tristian opened a gym with kickboxing classes, and it's where he and Holly feel the attraction between the two.
Holly has her life well-planned, not looking for a relationship because she can't trust men. Tristian doesn't want anybody because of his playboy life and to be in a relationship is like a mirage to him.
One night turns into two and one night Holly decides to surprise him and she is the one to get a surprise when she catches Tristian and Giggles in improper acts for innocent eyes. Shattered and always thinking of him, well she can't really forget him since he doesn't stop sending her text messages and leaving voice mail after voice mail, her thougths is just Tristian Tristian Tristian.

Holly Madison has suffered throughout her life, she is a strong independent woman, with her head in place and ready to set goals and stick to them, sometimes despite having trust issues Holly shows that sometimes it's best not to think and dive in with your heart.
Tristian will try to be a better man thanks to Holly.
The story doesn't begin as its normal, the characters already knew each other at the beginning of the book, is a quick and engaging read, it is easy to fall in love with Tristian and his character is the one that has a more obvious change throughout the book. It is a good continuation of the previous book Emma Chase, it's undoubtedly that gradually we become curious about the other characters and wanting to know more about them.

Excerpt

Before I knew it, I found myself pinned to the wall holding my breath, covering my mouth so that I didn’t scream at the top of my lungs.
Asshole.
The leggy blonde who I will now refer to as Giggles, because she giggled incessantly was well…giggling. Tristan was moaning. How the hell could he go from me last night to that in there tonight?
I heard the sound of a zipper followed by a male hiss and a female giggle/gasp. I thought I was going to be sick. My eyes roamed the hall leading to the office taking in the clothing that was discarded throughout. Then her lacy bra went sailing through the air in what seemed to be slow motion, like in one of those Bruce Willis action flicks, landing poetically at my feet.
My mouth watered and I could feel the bile slowly trudging up my throat. I needed to get the hell out of there and fast.
I squeezed my eyes and covered my ears when she giggled.
Again.
It was time to make my escape. I tilted my head back, opened my eyes looking to the heavens for guidance and thought, “God are you there? It’s me, Holly.” Nothing. “No?” Of course not.
“Leave your message after the beep” was more like the response I was used to.
I skirted by the office unnoticed only to be captured by Giggles’ lacy bra that had tangled itself firmly around my ankle and held on for dear life. I lifted my leg doing a one legged hop trying to shake it off but the damn thing wouldn’t give up. It had me in a death grip. I reached down, grabbed the bra, peeled it from my ankle and slung it behind me as I ran out the back door.

Title: Last Call

Author: M.S. Brannon

Release Date: September 22, 2014

Genre: New Adult Romance

Synopsis

My name is Mariah Huxley, and I’m a reformed slut.

The only year I attended college, I spent on my back, living on a constant high from sex and booze. That was, until my wayward ways left me with the greatest responsibility one could have.

Fast forward seven years, and I am Mariah Huxley, a twenty-six-year-old, single mother, living in the unforgiving world as an adult. I work hard to take care of us, and I am happy. I’m happy until I close my eyes at night and realize that’s not the case at all. Something is missing. My soul, my body, and my heart—they've all been drained of anything exciting. That’s until the night I finally allow myself to live, and I meet him.

When he touches me, I awaken and slowly become resurrected. However, will the relationship we've started be one I’m prepared to handle? I am strong enough to endure many things, but am I strong enough to sustain this connection with him.

My name is Jason Cain, and I am who I am.

Some may call me determined, but the majority of society views me as a prick. To them, I’m an arrogant jerk who defies the standard rules of life to get what I want. I couldn't agree more.

I was born on the streets, loved by no one. The only person I had was me. Once adopted by the state, I vowed to myself to become a man of means. I vowed to become a man who would be respected from the moment I walked in a room.

Fast forward several years, and I am Jason Cain, a thirty-two-year-old, successful entrepreneur, and self-made millionaire. My life is all about time, which includes making gut reaction business deals, growing my empire, and being in the company of beautiful women. I have time for only one thing, my satisfaction. That’s until the night she strolls into my nightclub.

When she touches me, I feel every wall I’ve built up slowly crumble around me. I disintegrate. However, will the relationship we've started be one I can leave behind? Or will I lose the part of me that’s kept me going my entire life? Am I strong enough to survive her?

Or will this be our last call?

Teaser

“Are you her boyfriend? Will you marry her someday?” He turns his body to look right into my eyes. What is it with this kid? He has no fear or filter. “I’m just her friend. That’s it,” I say, not really knowing what else to say. “Damn… You’d be a good dad,” Royce says, and I can’t escape the happy feeling he’s invoked inside of me. Of all the people in the world, this little seven-year-old kid has faith in me. He’s probably the only one who believes I’m worth a shit.
