PREPPY : The Life And Death of Samuel Clearwater by TM Frazier (BOOK TOUR/REVIEW)

Blurb

Samuel Clearwater, A.K.A Preppy, likes bowties, pancakes, suspenders, good friends, good times, good drugs, and a good f*ck.

He’s worked his way out from beneath a hellish childhood and is living the life he’s always imagined for himself. When he meets a girl, a junkie on the verge of ending it all, he’s torn between his feelings for her and the crippling fear that she could be the one to end the life he loves.

Andrea ‘Dre’ Capulet is strung out and tired.

Tired of living for her next fix. Tired of doing things that make her stomach turn. Tired of looking in the mirror at the reflection of the person she’s become. Just when she decides to end it all, she meets a man who will change the course of both their lives forever.

And their deaths.

For most people, death is the end of their story.

For Preppy and Dre, death was only the beginning.

This is the fifth book in the King Series and it's meant to be read after Soulless.

Love. Never. Dies.

Find out why in Preppy by T.M. Frazier

REVIEW

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

So the wait for PREPPY's story has come to an end. At least the first part of it, and TM Frazier has done it again.

We all knew Preppy was a little eccentric to say the least, but my gosh, his eccentricities take bizarre, and outlandish to new dark, dark level.

Some of the parts PREPPY really had me "clutching my pearls", gasping, and blushing something awful. But then there are moments that my heart when out to the man, the little boy, who suffered so pain and darkness to the point where it became him.

I love the connection he has with Dre or Doc, even considering how they first met. There were times I wish I reach into the book and shake the both of them, especially Preppy. I hoping we get more of Dre's back story in part 2!

PREPPY IS AMAZING!!!!! THIS BOOK WAS WELL WORTH THE WAIT. 5 STARS

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

About the Author:

T.M. (Tracey Marie) Frazier resides in sunny Southwest Florida with her husband and three feisty fur kids.

She attended Florida Gulf Coast University where she specialized in public speaking. After years working in real estate and new home construction, she decided it was finally time to stop pushing her dreams to the back burner and pursue writing seriously.

In the third grade she wrote her very first story about a lost hamster. It earned rave reviews from both her teacher and her parents.

It only took her twenty years to start the next one.

It will not be about hamsters.

Crave Me (The Good Ol' Boys Series) by M. Robinson (COVER REVEAL)

COVER REVEAL

CRAVE ME

BESTSELLING AUTHOR M. ROBINSON

COVER MODEL MITCH MCKERSIE

COVER DESIGN THE FINAL WRAP

RELEASE MAY 10^TH

They say in order to find yourself you have to go home.

What if home was what you're running from?

Where did that leave you?

Always on the other side of the fence.

Always looking in.

Always wishing you were someone you couldn't be.

Until one day you meet her.

The one.

She was my high, but she was also...

My demise.

Colors blended together making it hard to focus on one thing. I blinked a few times and just like that…

I saw her face.

As if she was standing right in front of me.

Smiling.

Happy.

Laughing.

My whole world…

My girl.

I felt my lips curl up slightly at the vision as I reached out for her. Wanting to touch her, needing to hold her, yearning to kiss her. Craving, God, craving to fucking love her.

“I’m sorry,” I murmured out loud to no one but the illusion of my drug-infested mind. “I’m so fucking sorry,” I repeated repentantly, longing for her to believe me.

Aching for her to love me again like she used to.

I don’t know how long I sat there, staring at her beautiful face before my eyes, subconsciously rubbing the tattooed key that was placed over my heart. I couldn’t take it anymore, and the desire won over the haze.

It was too powerful.

It was too vivid.

I grabbed my phone. “Baby,” I said into the speaker. The ringing quickly followed, going straight to voicemail. I hung up and tried again. “Baby,” I urged with desperation in my tone.

Still nothing.

I tried again and again and again.

I would try until the end of time if that’s what it took for her to answer.

To talk to me.

To save me.

To crave me.

Time just seemed to standstill, as my life slowly played out in front of me. Trying to balance in between the light and the darkness when all I could see was gray.

“What?!” she screamed into the phone, finally answering after I don’t know how many failed attempts. “What the hell do you want now?”

“Mi cielo.” I breathed a sigh of relief.

She ignored my term of endearment. I hadn’t called her that in such a long time.

My heaven.

“What do you want, Austin? Why are you calling me? We’re over! I can’t do this anymore!”

I shut my eyes and let my mind wonder, allowing it to go to another place in time where she didn’t hate me.

“I remember the first time I made you smile,” I chuckled, as if it had just happened.

My nerves were on fire. The mere sound of her breathing through the phone was too intense for me. I licked my lips, my mouth suddenly dry.

“I remember when you used to smile just for me. Do you remember, baby? Do you remember what my love feels like?”

I heard her faintly breathing.

“Do you remember my hands on you? My lips? My tongue? The first time I made you come with my mouth? Do you remember all the times since? Tell me I’m not forgotten. Tell me you remember, baby.”

Silence.

“I love you, Briggs. I love you so fucking much. You’re killing me, don’t you see that? I’m dying without you.”

“No, Austin. You were dying with me,” she rasped, knowing that it killed her to say that.

“The first time I saw your face, I thought to myself, damn, this beautiful girl is goin’ to be the death of me. You were perfect in every way. I was a cocky son of a bitch who needed you then, as much as I need you now.”

More silence.

“I had a dream about you, baby. I always fucking dream about you. In my dream you had a ring on your finger. A ring I put there. You belonged to me. Only mine. Forever fucking mine. You were pregnant, Briggs. You looked so goddamn happy. I saw light at the end of the tunnel for the first time in years.”

She sniffled into the phone.

“I made love to you. Slow, just the way you love. Taking my time to touch every last inch of your body. Memorizing every last bit of you. Making you come until you begged me to stop. I didn’t.”

“I can’t—” she tried to interject, but I didn’t let up.

“I kissed your stomach. Our baby. Letting my lips linger there, whispering sweet lullabies, letting her know daddy will always be there. Baby, it was so real. For a second I gave you the one thing you so desperately wanted, the one thing I can’t give you.”

ENSHRINED by CHELLE BLISS (RELEASE DAY BLITZ)

NEW STAND-ALONE NOVEL

by USA Today Bestselling Author, Chelle Bliss

EVERYTHING CHANGED IN AN INSTANT. I thought I knew what was important, but one phone call sent my life into a tailspin. Alone and afraid, I cling to the one man I shouldn’t. I was warned about him and told to stay away. “He’s dangerous,” they said. But the man who could hurt me the most, gave me the greatest comfort. "He's not who they think," I told myself. But just like an illusion, things are never what they seem.

Available at the following retailers

AMAZON IBOOKS NOOK KOBO GOOGLEPLAY

Enshrine Excerpt:

She fiddles with her cosmopolitan. “I think you should get your eyes checked next time you’re at the doctor, Cal. He’s always watching you. It’s sexy, but it also creeps me the fuck out. He’s so dangerous.” I laugh, playing it off, but I’ve noticed it too. “Is he looking over here now?” I ask, refusing to turn around to look for myself. She leans forward, her eyes peering behind me. “He is. He’s not taking his eyes off us either.” “He probably thinks we’re trouble or something,” I say and hope she drops the topic because I’d rather find out what she was going on about before. “You can pretend like you don’t think he’s hot, Cal, but I’ve seen you flirt with him more than once.” I shake my head and chuckle softly. “Smiling and saying hello isn’t necessarily flirting.” “He has a thing for you.” “He probably has a thing for every girl in this place.” “Nope.” She shakes her head vigorously and puckers her lips. “He wants you.”

Marci's Review

5 STARS

I've become enamored with the BDSM genre and other dark reads, thanks to Annabel Joseph. It started with "Club Mephisto", after a friend's recommendation. As for "Loaned", she does not disappoint. While other reads sometimes focus on the dark side of the community, Annabel Joseph, reveals the soft (if you could ever imagine BDSM as soft), safe, and sweet side of it. The way it's written is erotic, and enticing.

Annabel Joseph is a NYT and USA Today bestselling BDSM erotic romance author. She writes mainly contemporary romance, although she has been known to dabble in the medieval and Regency eras. She is recognized for writing emotionally intense BDSM storylines, and strives to create characters that seem real--even flawed--so readers are better able to relate to them.

Annabel publishes with Ellora's Cave and Loose Id in addition to her own imprint, Scarlet Rose Press. She also writes non-BDSM erotic romance under the name Molly Joseph. You can sign up to receive Annabel's newsletter here: http://wordpress.us7.list-manage.com/...

Some of Annabel's favorite authors are Laura Kinsale, Judith McNaught, Jo Beverley, Flannery O'Connor, Molly Weatherfield, and Anneke Jacob.

"Resist Me" (Men of Inked Series Book 4) by Chelle Bliss - REVIEW/TOUR STOP/GIVEAWAY

Izzy Gallo has never been described as a member of the weaker sex. She’s a woman who doesn’t take shit from anyone. Growing up with four older overprotective brothers has hardened her, making her a force to be reckoned with.

Against the wishes of her two brothers, Joe and Mike, Izzy takes a weekend trip to Bike Week in Daytona, turning her world upside down.

Over her head, in a world she doesn’t understand, there’s only one man who can save her.

James Caldo has dedicated his life to protect and serve as a member of the DEA. He’s cocky, overbearing, and doesn’t take no for an answer – the Gallo men have nothing on him.

When their paths cross, James makes Izzy question everything she believes about completely surrendering to the opposite sex.

Does James have what it takes to overpower the headstrong Izzy, capturing her heart forever?

Me: Lying through your teeth, doll. You’d be slamming yourself against my cock, taking all I had to give.

Sexy Fugitive: STOP.

My dick throbbed, aching for release. My balls had to be blue with the way they felt. Bastards may burst at any moment. I needed inside Izzy and I didn’t want to wait. I knew that if I jerked off, it wouldn’t fucking help. My hand didn’t compare to her milking the life out of my dick.

Me: Panties soaked?

Sexy Fugitive: I didn’t wear any today. 

She didn’t understand how her trying to shut me the hell up was a total cocktease. I loved it. I could go out and find some nameless woman who would lay herself out and offer her pussy to me to relieve the ache deep in my balls. I didn’t want that. I only wanted her. After having a few tastes, I was hooked. No one else would ever compare.

Me: STOP.

Sexy Fugitive: I’m almost dripping thinking of you jamming your hard, long cock inside me.

She was the devil.

Me: STOP.

“Resist Me” is the fourth installment of Chelle Bliss’, “Men of Inked Series”. It is the story of Isabella Gallo, the youngest of five and the only sister of the Gallo family. However IZZY, is far from a baby. She’s a sexy, sarcastic, shit talking sister who is somewhat of a new kind of feminist. She speaks her mind. She gets all that she wants in and out of the bedroom, and she’s always in control. She'll never be that sweet, docile, weak, or and submissive to anyone fitting the description of the “caveman” type men that she’s been surrounded by all of her life….. That is, until she meets James.

Being a fan of the “Men of Inked Series” from book one, “Throttle Me”, I could not wait to read Izzy’s story. She’s had such a presence in every single one of the books, so far. She is often times, her brothers’ voice of reason. Because she’s so opinionated, confident, and decided in her delivery throughout the previous books, I absolutely could not wait to read her story. And “Resist Me” does not disappoint. Izzy really meets her match, when she meets James. He matches and exceeds the confidence, sarcasm, and sex appeal that she exudes. Not only does he tell her, but he shows her, just how much she wants him and that she belongs to him. I love the rapport between these two. It’s so far beyond a game of “cat and mouse” or playing hard to get. It’s survival of fittest, especially in the bedroom. The mental and emotional gameplay for James is a tactic to secure what he wants…. Izzy. For Izzy, it a defense mechanism, that gets her nowhere fast. And James loves the resistance, it just adds fuel to his fire.

Besides, the pussy power and dick domination game being served between James and Izzy, there is another story being prefaced. That is the one of the oldest Gallo brother, Thomas. You really get a peek inside, as to why he has not been around for Sunday dinners, and the link between him, James, and Izzy. I absolutely cannot wait for that one.

“Resist Me” is was amazing read. The characters are laughable, lovable, and LUST-worthy! I recommend “Resist Me” to you all. Actually, I recommend the whole series.

Here are my ratings….

STORY LINE

5 BOOKS

This isn’t just some erotica read, with a weak story line and some BDSM thrown here there. This is a story, with a plot, and it is an awesome one. As a reader you kept on your toes, you do not want to put this book down. YOU WILL NOT PUT THIS BOOK DOWN!

CHARACTERS

5 HEARTS

Characters – 5 HEARTS- I am so in love with them all. While being fictitious, these characters are extremely lifelike/real. Their personalities hold so much depth. You know that the author has put much thought into building each one.

SEX APPEAL/SCENES/ROMANCE

5 DRIPPIN' WET PANTIES

I know that I stated “this isn't just some erotica read….”, but damn, the raw intensity and passion coursing through the pages of “Resist Me” are scorching hot. And for that, it gets 5 dripping wet panties ;-) (New rating category)

OVERALL RATING: 5 STARS…. GO DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND READ THIS SERIES!
