Synopsis

Love is deceptive…

Fiery Billie Black thought she knew all she needed to know about her own sexuality, but that was before one night of animalistic passion with the ultra gorgeous and mysterious Jaron Rose. Tall, blond, charming and wealthy, he was the epitome of an Alpha male. 

In the morning he promised he would call.  He didn’t.

Six months later, just as Billie finally manages to free herself from the memories of that night, he arrives on the scene again. Suddenly, all the feelings that burned so intensely are reignited and she finds herself becoming quickly entangled with her enigmatic lover. The passion is incredible, unforgettable, unbelievable, but Jaron Rose is not all that he seems—he wears more than one disguise…and he is hiding a big secret.

Billie is about to find out what that is…

Excerpt

‘First let me tell you what you’re going to be doing tomorrow. At sharp three thirty p.m. you will bend over this table, your elbows and hands and cheek pressed against the glass, your ass in the air barely covered by lace and some transparent material that rips easily. Baby doll nighties and thongs are my favorite at the moment. What you are doing is waiting for me to come and fuck you like the little bitch you are.’

My mouth drops open.

‘The rims of the thong will become soaked very quickly and you will consider using your sweating hands to masturbate to relieve the ache, but you will not. Instead you will keep that position, nipples and cunt tingling, and wait. The high heels you’ll be wearing—I like black— will make your calves cramp, but you will ignore it.’

My pussy clenches like a boxers fists, but I pretend to snort.

He ignores it. ‘At four I will turn up. You will not turn around to look at me or speak to me. No matter how wide your legs are I will have to correct the position by kicking apart your legs and flipping the last bit of covering over your back, so your ass is totally exposed to me. I will roughly rub your panties, find the jellied part, and dig my fingers into it. You will immediately raise your hips higher to try to catch more of my flesh, and moan the way you would if you were begging for it.

‘I’ll tell you to be quiet. That you are not to make a sound until I allow it. I will flick your clit through the material and your body will start bucking and squirming. At that moment I will swat you on the fleshiest part of your buttocks just once, but hard. My fingers might strike your clit. It will make your head spin and you are bound to cry out from the surprise. But if you do I will spank you again. Just to hear you cry out and see the blush spread. And again, until you are panting and dripping onto my hand. Excitement, shame, joy, desire.

‘Then I will back off, make myself a cup of tea and drink it while I stare at your reddened ass, ripe for the picking. Once I have had my tea I will undress. Slowly. You will strain to hear buttons, material scraping my skin, shoes sliding away, socks pulling, zip tearing. I will grasp the reddened, burning skin in my palms and feel its weight in my bare hands.’

I try not to show it but his dick is slowly growing inside me and I am starting to want him to fuck me all over again.

‘Then I will pull the warm red cheeks apart and holding them apart with one hand I will slide my finger into you, first one, then two and eventually three—the way you like it, the way I did the first night we met. You will moan, and shiver and maybe even grunt like an animal. Your head will start to lift off the table—you are about to come. That is the moment I’ll stop and will ask you to touch yourself. You will take your hand off the table and press it between your legs, turning your head to look at me while starting to masturbate.

‘“Do you want my cock in your pussy?” I will ask. “Yes,” you will whisper. I will ask you again. “Yes, yes,” you will plead.

‘And that is when I will ram so hard into you, you will shudder and scream and arch and quiver and come in a screaming rush.’

‘I won’t be in at three thirty p.m. or four p.m. tomorrow,’ I say coldly.

Title: Love’s Sacrifice
Author: Georgia LeCarre
Publisher/Year: Grand Central Publishing 8/11/14
Length: Pages
Series: The Billionaire Banker #5

Overview

Some secrets wont stay silent…

An evening out at the theatre for Lana and Blake ends prematurely with shocking news.

Frantic, the couple rush home to discover their worst fears. And Blake is forced to confront the realization that his new family is on a collision course with his past — caught in the crossfire of adversaries who won’t hesitate to hurt them.

Once again Lana shows the strength that underpins her character to keep her family together, but with Blake already weakened by the revelation of devastating secrets, will they be strong enough to face down such menacing adversaries?

Lana and Blake know that time is running out and difficult decisions must be made, ones that will irrevocably and forever alter their lives.

And that ultimately, Blake will be called upon to make the greatest sacrifice of all…

Excerpt

My feet are soundless on the carpet. My throat stings with unshed tears. I want to scream and howl. It will be some kind of a release, but how can I? At this time of the night? I wish I could drive out to some lonely location and scream and scream and scream. But the moment I leave the front door, Brian or one of the men will start trailing me.

I pause at the entrance to our bedroom and stand gazing at Blake. He looks very pale sleeping among shadows. I feel as if I have lost everything. I am so incredibly scared. I need to hear him call out my name in that snarling voice again. Without thinking I drift, like a flower crowned Orphelia, towards him, towards the warmth of his body. At the edge of the bed I look down on him, my eyes exploring the tousled hair, relaxed muscles, and the smooth and gleaming skin. He is so incredibly sexy. But I’m not wet with desire. I want to be wet with desire again.

Carefully, I lift the duvet and crawl onto the bed next to the magnificent body. His scent is sun ripened and heady. I take his soft penis into my mouth.  Slowly, gently, I suck it. He tastes delicious.

The juices begin to gather between my legs.

He moans in his sleep, his throat moves, and I increase the pressure of my mouth. The shaft grows thicker and bigger.  Blake’s hands come up to hold my shoulders.  I don’t look up.  I just keep on sucking. His hands grip harder, suddenly they are under my armpits, and pulling me up, and over his body.

‘Let me finish,’ I say, but already I am straddling his hips.

I move my body encouragingly, and my sex, wet and willing, rubs against the short silky hairs on his thighs. He lifts me up silently and holds my body over the head of his cock. I hold on to the shaft and position it over the core of my heat. Slowly, my sex is stretched and fitted around that aroused throbbing shaft.  He spreads my thighs even further and flattens them against his hips. The action makes my clit touch bone. He grinds that bone against me. Then tension transfers to my belly, my thighs, my sex. My nerves overload, and soon I am lost in a red mist of forgetfulness. It explodes in my brain.

He holds me by the waist and rolls me under him. I close my eyes and let my body be a vessel for his satisfaction. For a while I am simply a body, a body that is being fucked by another body. I am nothing but a biological reaction. When I feel the first drop of water on my cheek, I think it is Blake’s sweat, but when the next drop splashes onto my forehead, I know.  They are tears. And then it is impossible for me to even be a biological reaction. He feels the change in me, and stops moving.

‘I’m sorry,’ he whispers. The words are strange in his mouth.

My Thoughts

WOW – i don’t know about any of you guys, but this story just takes us on such intense journeys that it’s not just about the relationship between Blake and Lana anymore, there’s so much more.  Victoria’s devious, Helena is a snob and i’m still confused about the El and what it will mean to the happy family.

What’s nice about this final installment in the series is that we get a back and forth among the chapters – each is written from the POV of either Lana, Blake or Victoria – since there’s a dual path plot line – that converges mid-stream.  We have Victoria who has been sent to an asylum because of what she did at the wedding, and we have Blake and Lana living through their honeymoon and then trying to make their life together afterwards.

Of course nothing is that simple, and we see a bunch of thing go wrong.  We know that the Barringtons will never be safe, so there’s a lot of security around at all times, which leads to the disappearance of one of our main characters.  The question becomes not of who has them, but of what the end result will be – who will lose their life and who will have to live without whom.  What I’ve come to love about our author Ms. LeCarre is that we don’t always have to choose – we just have to be choiceful about how we get to the end.

The other thing about this story is that it’s HOT.  the passion that we’ve come to love and adore with this series is carried through even to the finale.  I made the mistake of reading this while i was at my childrens’ swimming class this morning and that was something that i should not have done since i’m fairly certain that i was blushing (doesn’t happen often) from a scene in a Thai sex club of sorts.  you’ll know it when you read it.

So, while i’m really sad that the series is over, i think that the journey was well worth it.  There’s a twist involved that’s interesting – learning of some parentage and family bloodlines – and that makes things interesting, as well as seeing where the characters will end up – who will be alive and who won’t.  So – all in all a great send off and i can’t wait to see what’s next from our gifted author.  ENJOY!

Overview

In Forty 2 Days we cheered as we learned of Lana’s opportunity for a second chance to put things right with our wounded hero, Blake. We read with joy at the news of baby Sorab’s birth, and with tension in our bodies as the spirited Lana fought and finally overcame the might of Blake’s powerful family to win the heart of the man she adored. 

But Lana still needs answers to many burning questions?
The secrets are many and tangled? Will she get the answers she seeks?

Blake finally lays it on the line to Victoria, and declares his true love for Lana, but will that be the end of the matter?

Then there is the re-appearance of Marcus.

Can Lana keep her resolve and overcome all obstacles to claim her man forever?

My Thoughts

I like where this story is taking us – it’s not all sunshine and daisies yet for this family and i think that it’s what makes you want to keep on reading and be invested.  If you remember – we left off when things were quite dicey – meaning that there was death and fear and loathing all around, and Blake’s goal was to rescue Lana, keep her safe and some how disengage himself from the El which is something that we see can’t be done – or can’t be done easily.

The journey that we go on in this 3rd installment is passionate – Lana and Blake have something amazing and strong and it’s nice to see that there doesn’t have to be something that physically wrenches them apart in each installment to keep things moving at a nice pace.  In this case, we have the burden that Blake holds onto – in keeping his family safe since he doesn’t know what’s going to happen to him given his role as head of the secret brotherhood.  All he wants is for Lana and Sorab to be safe and to know that they are going to be taken care of but knowing Lana as we do, we know that she’s not going to be ok with any of this.

The other complexities that come with this story are the Barringtons.  We know that Marcus has it out for Lana – assuming that she’s a gold digger and doesn’t truly love Blake.  Even if she does, i’m not sure that he even cares.  Blake sets Lana up to go toe to to with Marcus in the hopes that she’s find that she’s strong and brave and will be able to manage on her own in his family.  This sets up for something that i’m sure we’ll see in the future – with Lana and Blake’s mom.  He’s basically said that Lana will be hated and it will be interesting to see what lengths everyone goes to in order to make their point.  Which then raises the question around Victoria and what she’ll do.  We saw a dark side to her of the woman scorned, and i have a feeling that she’s going to partner up with Marcus and the mother to rip apart the happy couple or take their son and do some damage there.

So many places that my mind is going – but all the while, we see that the heat and passion in the relationship sis still as strong as it always was.  that’s the nice thing here – that Lana and Blake still can’t keep their hands off one another, and Ms. LeCarre really paints the amazingly detailed picture of each scene.  It’s hot without being raunchy and you ALWAYS get the love and passion throughout it all.  (aside from the prologue that we had – of the jump into the future i think – where it’s a different Lana/Blake dynamic than we’ve seen before).

Now that we’ve seen where this story is heading, i have a feeling that things will continue to be dicey, and i’ll be amazed if plans stay intact.  I can’t wait to get into Seduce Me to see what secrets will be revealed, by whom, and what it will mean for the happy family.

Overview

Beyond the seductive power of immense wealth lies… Dark Secrets
******
Devastatingly handsome billionaire, Blake Law Barrington was Lana Blooms first and only love. From the moment they touched his power was overwhelming. Their arrangement quickly developed into a passionate romance that captivated her heart and took her on an incredible sexual journey she never wanted to end.
The future together looked bright until Lana made a terrible mistake. So, she did the only thing she could… she ran.

Away from her incredible life, away from the man of her dreams, but she should have known a man such as Blake Law Barrington was impossible to escape. Now, he’s back in her life and determined that she should taste the bitterness of his pain.

Shocked at how rough the sex has become and humiliated that she is actually participating so willingly in her punishment, she despairs if she will ever feel the warmth of his touch-the solidity of his trust again? And even if she can win his trust, loyalties are yet to be decided, and secrets to be revealed-secrets that will test them both to their limits.

Will Lana be able to tear down the walls that surround Blake’s heart, and break him free of the brutal power of immense wealth?

Can Blake hold on to Lana’s heart when she discovers the enormity of the dark secrets that inhabit the Barrington family?

Lana has always believed that love conquers all. She is about to test that belief…

My Thoughts

Well, we all know how these stories play out right?  I mean, it’s to be expected that there’s going to be a rift between a couple, typically caused by someone else, and we saw that happen at the end of book 1, with Victoria stepping in to try to protect what she thinks is hers.  Of course, we know that things will have to come full circle.

Book 2 takes us about a year in the future, when Lana has left the country as told, and returned, in the hopes of rebuilding her life with her son now who is just a few months old – holding onto what ever she can, since that’s not much.  We meet up with Lana as she’s applying for a loan in the hopes of getting help to start her business with Billie – to make children’s clothes.  Of course, anything to do with banking means that we’ll cross paths with Blake again.  and that’s what happens.  He has been monitoring her and finds that she has an appointment at the bank and goes there personally to sort out what when wrong.

From there, we learn that he’s not willing to let her go, although he’s turned quite cold and callous over the past year – under the impression that she left him after getting the money that she wanted – and that she was after nothing else from him….but his money – hoping to trash his feelings at the same time.  Because of this, he’s decided that he wants to hold her to the remainder of her contract – the remaining 42 days – and this is both a blessing and a pain to Lana…given that she’s still madly in love with Blake, yet has her own secrets to protect.

she’s afraid that as stated in the contract, if Blake finds out that Sorab, her son is actually his, that they will take him from her.  so she creates this elaborate scheme that it’s Billie’s son yet that she watches him 4 days a week – so that she can keep him at the apartment at least half of the time.

What we have in this 2nd installment is a complex story of 2 people who clearly love one another, and want to be together, yet Blake needs to sort himself out.  He takes his pain and anger out on Lana, in the sense that he’s mean to her, and that he wants to punish her, yet he never physically hurts her.  this gives Lana hope since she sees under his facade.  She’s even willing to admit to him that she loves him, in the hopes that it’ll soften things.

This is where things take their expected turn, and get juicy.  Just when you begin to see the tides turning, Victoria’s mom pops up with a warning, and this makes Lana even more fearful since her secrets aren’t so secret anymore.  She’s been warned to trust no one, and yet she’s not sure what she can do about it.

The final few chapters of this story are really exciting.  Not only do we continue to have the amazing passion and romance that we have come to know and love from Blake, but we have a story that’s so dark,and twisted and complex that you really are invested heavily.  This is why i was up reading until the wee hours of the morning since i needed to see what was going to happen.

Let’s just say that the cliff that we were left on at the end was one with a steep drop – you don’t know who’s going to free fall, who;s going to survive and at what cost.  I really don;t want to have to wait until May for the next installment, but i suppose at least i know that it’ll be worth it since Ms. Le Carre has a writing style that really keeps you tied to the characters and the plot.  I hope you guys enjoy it!

Overview

Beyond the seductive power of immense wealth lies… Dark Secrets

When Lana Bloom learns the devastating news that her mother is dying, she is faced with a terrible dilemma. The one thing that can save her is the one thing she does not have.

For young and Innocent Lana, The unthinkable is her only choice.

When she walks through the door of that exclusive restaurant she has no idea of the seismic shift her life is about to take, for the highest bidder will not be the rich man she has accompanied.

Fate drops her at the feet of the deeply mysterious and dazzlingly gorgeous American banker, Blake Law Barrington. Throbbing with raw masculinity and arrogance, this is a man who owns all that he pursues.

And now he wants her.

Lana cannot deny she is both intrigued and intoxicated by the world Blake inhabits and the smouldering passion he stirs in her body, but she is also fearful for this man is addictive and right now she is very vulnerable. She knows she should focus only on the arrangement, but how can she?

When he has opened a door that cannot be closed…

My Thoughts

I’m a sucker for a story about a successful man who comes to the rescue of a damsel in distress, and finds himself in a situation that he didn’t expect and that has implications for the future.

This story starts off with Blake having dinner before a party one night when he sees a woman enter the restaurant that takes all of his attention.  She’s stunning but clearly looks out of place and this woman is Lana Bloom.  She’s at dinner with Ruper Lothian who isn’t the classiest of men, kind of perverse based on what folks say, and Blake comes to her rescue.  Mind you, Lana knows what she’s getting into when she goes out with Rupert, because she needs a large amount of money and she’s hoping that he’ll give it to her in exchange for her sexual favors.  Blake offers double the amount of money, without knowing how much and well, things spin out from there.

What we have here is a nice story of a naive girl of 19, and a well established man of 29 – he teaches her what it is to be wanted, cared for and to be quite sexual, yet he’s learning from her as well.  what’s nice in this story is that we seen an even trade off of ‘banter’ – she calls him out on his high brow life of society, and he’s willing to debate the ‘low life’ qualities of those who are poor.  It’s really nice though to see that he does have emotions given that he learns that she works hard based on her up bringing from her mother, and then learns that she’s ‘sold’ herself to care for her mother who has stage four cancer.

The journey that we take is a really nice one.  We have a man who clearly likes to control the woman that he’s with,.but it’s erotic without being BDSM in nature.  We also see that he’s fighting what he’s known, even though he’s clear about what his intentions are with her and that he’s promised to someone else.  He does however take what he wants of her and her body – and what we get is some pretty great scening and great imagination from our author.  It’s well written and not seedy – always adding to the high wealth and society ambiance that’s being cultivated.  Lana is given her freedom as long as she’s on call and available when he wants her-  so her life is only upturned in the sense that she has a posh apartment, nice clothes and doesn’t have to work for a few months.

All good things come to an end though right?  You have to expect that the women that he’s supposed to marry is going to find out about Lana and all hell will break loose.  We also know that at some point something in the contract that Blake made Lana sign will come to bite her in the butt – so it’s just a matter of time until we see that.

I can’t wait to see where things go, given that we had quite the cliff hanger of somoene ending up in the hospital, and someone fleeing the country – and someone showing their evil and vindictive side.  With all this anxiety, at least we know that there’s heated chemistry among some, and I can only hope that the heat and passion will continue into book 2.
