Seth A Hell's Lovers MC Romance #5 by Crimson Syn


Seth
A
Hell's Lovers MC Romance #5
by
Crimson Syn
Genre:
Adult MC Romance

I
didn’t expect to cross paths with Ciara Morton.
Her
innocent beauty literally knocked me to my knees.
I’d
never met a woman like her.
She’s
smart to stay away from me.
I
like my sex rough and dirty and I don’t believe in love.
But
she’s slowly seeping into my bones,
And
the more she rejects me, the greedier I get.
She
should stay away, before I lose all sense of control.

Seth
Scardino is all sinewy muscles and rough attitude.
He’s
the type of man who takes without asking permission.
From
the first moment I saw him, I knew he would be my weakness.
He
controls me in every way possible,
But
I’ll never admit it.
If
I do, he’ll know I’ll let him take me completely,
And
I don’t think I’ll be able to let him go if he does.

My Review
This is my first book in the series and myy first bk by Crimson Syn, but I guarantee it will not be my last. I love me some hot steamy bikers, so much so I married one. I love the bad boys and Seth is a real bad boy. The book had my teeth sweating it was so hot. I cannot wait to go backand start this series at the first book "Wolf".

The series features the bad boys of the Hell's Lovers MC Group. Seth is the treasurer of the group. These books are written as stand alones so can be read in any order. The snippets from the previous books make you want to go back and catch up.  There is a story line in the book but there is a lot of the hotess sex scenes I hae read lately. 

There is a drug cartel trying to take on the Hell's Lover's. Not just the members but their families are in danger as well. Wolf the gangs leader has hired Ciara as a nanny. Seth cannot seem to keep his mind off of her or his hands it seems. Even though both want to fight the temptation they seem pretty powerless to suceed.

If you like hot sex, hot bikers, a wild ride grab this book, or better yet the whole series and start at book 1. I personally Love to read series. I love to watch the characters grow and I really love it when each book in the series brings out new players. Crimson Syn has done an awesome job with this book and I am sure the rest of the series will be just as good.

My name is Crimson Syn,
not really, but what fun is it to use my real name. Instead I’ll
use my inner goddess’ name, it’s much more fun that way. I
grew up in New York City where I had a wonderful education, loving
parents and awesome friends. What more could a girl ask for?
I
started writing at the age of sixteen. The first romance I read was
Stephanie Laurens’ Devil’s Bride. Since then I have been
influenced by dozens of flourishing romance authors and even more
dashing and daring rogues. I must say it, but Fifty Shades was not my
first erotic romance, nor did it influence me to start writing them.
If you’ve never read Mary Balogh, Elizabeth Hoyt, Lisa Kleypas,
Bertrice Small or A.N. Roquelaure’s Sleeping Beauty trilogy, then
you’re missing out. Those were my sweet introductions to erotic
romance, and boy were they hot.
So
here I am, after reading so many wonderful stories, I have too many
sinful tales of my own not to share. I like my alphas rough and
possessive, and I have no shame in saying it or writing it. I had
delightfully wicked teachers growing up, their books took me to new
worlds and brought me new loves. So, I want to do the same for you. I
want to indulge my readers in those steamy reads that will send them
into the arms of dangerous alphas and deliciously sexy rogues,
without leaving the confines of their nice warm bed. If I am able to
entice your inner goddesses, then I have done my job and I am
satisfied.

Interview with Laurie Winter
Do your characters seem to hijack the story or do you feel like you have the reigns of the story?
-My characters constantly hijack my stories. Partly, because I write each first draft with only a loose plot line. Which, in turn, gives my imagination and my characters more freedom to improvise as the story progresses. In True Horizon, I’d pictured the accident which brings Grace and Health together differently than what’s in the book. Originally, I’d planned for her to get hit on the head by falling masonry from a building. But instead, she falls off a bridge and into the river. Then Heath jumps in to save her. And the rest, as they say, is history.

Convince us why you feel your book is a must read.
-I want to leave readers with a deeper appreciation and understanding of what our military vets endure during and after their service. Heath is a good man but he sees himself as tainted. Grace’s love doesn’t cure him. Instead, she gives him motivation to seek treatment and learn how to cope with his PTSD. I believe those deep emotions are relatable on so many levels.

Have you written any other books that are not published?
-The Warriors of the Heart series has three more books waiting in line to be published. I also have an unpublished contemporary romance set on a Wisconsin dairy farm as well as a romantic light suspense set in the snow capped mountains of Utah.

Pen or type writer or computer?
-Totally computer because I’m an awful speller and have sloppy handwriting. I can barely read my own handwritten notes!


Anything you would like to say to your readers and fans?

-I’d like to thank them for taking a chance on my stories. Each story comes from my heart, and feel so deeply for all my main characters. I know the wonderful feeling of being lost in a story and the buzz of finishing a good book. My hope is that I can be an author who provides those feelings for a reader.

Amazon      Amazon Print     BN

Excerpt:
“Why did you
turn me, Melina? Why did you take my life?”
“What are you
going to do? Kill me? And here I thought we were getting along so well,” she
said with a chuckle.
Blake considered
the idea of destroying her there and then; how satisfying it would have been,
even if that feeling would only last a moment. But, realistically, he knew that
he would still be left with unanswered questions, and the prospect of Silas
hunting him down. It would just prove to be more of a hindrance than anything
else.
His grip relaxed
and then fell from around her throat. “I don’t know why I waste so much energy
despising you. Think of what I could accomplish if you didn’t burden my mind.”
Clearly angry
that he had been aggressive, her slender fingers clutched his neck and threw
him to the floor.
“You’re stronger
than I thought you would be, but do not forget your place. It would not matter
if I were merely a year older than you; every year counts. Your elders are
stronger than you, even if it’s only by a sliver. If you forget that, you may
become vulnerable. And in a fight between you and them, you would lose.”
 “You’re attractive when you’re angry,” he said
with a smirk.
With a roll of
her eyes, Melina released him, got back to her feet, and then composed herself.
However
disrespectful he was toward her, he had asked her a question, and it was only
polite for Melina to respond.
“I was
desperate, lonely, and hungry when I turned you. There was something about your
eyes...something that indicated that immortality would suit you.” Her answer
was simple. Blake could tell by her answer that she hadn’t put much thought
into turning him. “Any other questions?”
“Have I become
just what you imagined, your perfect progeny?” That, most of all, was what
irked him. She had been so thoughtless, so careless with his life.
“I’m not sure. I
don’t really know you, so I can’t make any assumptions. You could use a lesson
in manners, though.”

Interview
Where do you get inspiration for your stories?
I have what I like to call muses. My muses are typically actors and actresses, the genre and plot depend on who my muse is at the time. Before I even start writing, I choose faces for my characters, and the people I choose for my characters influence my stories because I draw inspiration from my muses.
How did you do research for your book?
I think the most research I did was common weaknesses for vampires and werewolves. I didn't want to use holy water and crosses, or even sunlight. I don't like being limited when it comes to writing.
Do you have another profession besides writing?
I run a floral preservation company with my mother. It's the perfect occupation for me because it allows me to be creative while I'm brainstorming storylines!
If you could go back in time, where would you go?
That's a really tough question for me because a lot of different periods of time interest me. So I'd want to experience all of them!
What is your next project?

The Wages of Sin Series is ongoing, so make sure you keep an eye out for the sequels! There are plenty of books to come.

All That Makes Life Bright: The Life and Love of Harriet Beecher Stowe by Josi S. Kilpack

When Harriet Beecher marries Calvin Stowe on January 6, 1836, she is sure her future will be filled romance, eventually a family, and continued opportunities to develop as a writer. Her husband Calvin is completely supportive and said she must be a literary woman. Harriet’s sister, Catharine, worries she will lose her identity in marriage, but she is determined to preserve her independent spirit. Deeply religious, she strongly believes God has called her to fulfill the roles of wife and writer and will help her accomplish everything she was born to do.

Two months after her wedding Harriet discovers she is pregnant just as Calvin prepares to leave for a European business trip. Alone, Harriet is overwhelmed—being a wife has been harder than she thought and being an expectant mother feels like living another woman’s life. Knowing that part of Calvin still cherishes the memory of his first wife, Harriet begins to question her place in her husband’s heart and yearns for his return; his letters are no substitute for having him home. When Calvin returns, however, nothing seems to have turned out as planned.

Struggling to balance the demands of motherhood with her passion for writing and her desire to be a part of the social change in Ohio, Harriet works to build a life with her beloved Calvin despite differing temperaments and expectations.

Can their love endure, especially after “I do”? Can she recapture the first blush of new love and find the true beauty in her marriage?

Praise for All That Makes Life Bright

"Passionate--and entertaining." Publisher's Weekly, Sept 2017

"Kilpack writes with great insight and superb sensitivity." Booklist, Starred Review Sept 2017

"All That Makes Life Bright is about making marriage work in the face of challenges like a desire for personal freedom. It is a romance with broad appeal." Foreword, November 2017

Eliza. Thoughts of her dear friend and Calvin’s first wife brought an array of emotions. What would Eliza think of Hattie carrying Calvin’s child? A child Eliza had wanted so much and never had. Hattie usually told herself Eliza would be happy that she and Calvin found comfort together, but there were days when Hattie’s awareness that Calvin still held affection for Eliza rose like a specter. Prayer, studying the Bible, and remembering the assurance she’d felt of God’s approval would usually silence her guilt, but today the fears roiled inside her like the churning wheels of an undertaker’s carriage.

Had Eliza lived, Hattie would be teaching, writing—unmarried and unpregnant. Had Eliza lived, Calvin would only be the husband of Hattie’s friend, and he would enjoy dinner on the table every night, and pressed pants and clean shirts in the closet every morning. Perhaps Eliza would have given him a child by now. When headaches laid him low, Eliza would tend to him without a thought for herself.

Would Calvin be happier if Eliza had been the only Mrs. Calvin Stowe? Would Hattie? Was Catharine right? Had Hattie entered a phase that would lead to the demise of being her own person? Anxiety wrapped around her until she found herself sobbing at the splintery kitchen table.

Eliza. Eliza. Eliza.

Calvin. Calvin. Calvin.

Was she living the wrong woman’s life?

Author Josi S. Kilpack

Josi S. Kilpack hated to read until her mother handed her a copy of The Witch of Blackbird Pond when she was 13. From that day forward, she read everything she could get her hands on and credits her writing “education” to the many novels she has “studied” since then. She began writing her first novel in 1998 and has written twenty-five novels, one cookbook, and been part of multiple collaborations since then. She is a four-time Whitney Award winner and Best of State winner in Fiction. Josi currently lives in Willard, Utah, with her husband and children.

When Kensington Press picked up her first national women's fiction novel, As Wide as the Sky, Josi was in need of a pen name to differentiate between her other genres. For years, Josi has been called Jessica Pack by people who hear her name but don't know her, it made her new pen name easy to choose. As Wide as the Sky will be released in paperback sometime in 2018.

Following the same routine, day in and day out, Charlie Winters was about to give up on getting the break she deserved. Things begin to look up when her brother Nick suggested she to come to New York to work at his landscaping company. Moving from the small town of Cedar Grove to the big Apple was everything Charlie dreamed of, until her brother witnessed a brutal murder, which put his life in danger. Charlie would do everything she could to protect him even if it meant contacting the boy she fell in love with as a teenager.

Leaving the only girl, he had ever loved, the last thing Ryan Hyatt expected was to run into her, especially in Manhattan. Regretting his decision to push her away after he had enlisted in the military, he tried to make it up to her by offering to protect her brother Nick. When tragedy stuck, he soon found that his brother Josh may have been involved. Ryan would stop at nothing to protect the woman he would never stopped loving.




EXCERPT

 Walking over to her, I placed my hand on her flushed cheek and lowered my lips to hers. At first, there was a slight hesitation, but once I dipped my tongue inside the warmth of her mouth, her tongue began to dance with mine. I could feel the vibration of small whimpers escape as I continued my play. Charlie’s arms wrapped around my neck, allowing me to kiss her even deeper. Trailing my hands down her back, I found her butt and cupped her firm cheeks. Just the feel of her this close was making my cock jump with excitement. When I lifted her by the waist, her legs enveloped mine as I carried her over to the small couch that was pushed up against the wall.

Even though this wasn’t the way that I imagined our reunion would be, it really didn’t matter because all I knew was that I needed her and my cock longed to be deep inside her. Placing her gently on the couch, I took a moment to absorb her beauty. Her eyes fluttered shut as I traced the outline of her lips before I swept inside her warmth. Her tongue mingled with mine and our exploration of each other began. Charlie’s body told me she was eager for my touch. Slipping my hand underneath her thin t-shirt, I worked it upward until I reached her firm breast. Lowering the cup of her bra, I could feel the warmth and softness of her breast as I fondled the pea-sized bud between my fingers. Bracing my body above hers with the other hand, I managed to find the clasp of her bra. “God, how I loved the person that created front clasps on bras,” I smiled to myself. Just the feel of her skin under my touch left me needing more. All I wanted was to consume the beauty that was hidden beneath the thin material. With one leg planted on the floor and the other bent between her legs, I grasped the hem of her t-shirt and in one movement pushed it upward, freeing her shirt and her bra from her body at the same time. When her luscious breasts came into view, they were as I remembered, only more beautiful.

“God, you’re beautiful,” I whispered as I lowered my lips to the small bud, nuzzling her breast as I savagely began licking and sucking the tip. Charlie’s moans of pleasure sounded and it triggered my cock to become increasingly more uncomfortable locked away in my jeans. I moved back slightly, resting my upper leg on my butt while gliding my hand down her silky skin, stopping purposely at the waistband of her shorts. With one flick of my wrist the button was undone and the zipper began sliding down as I moved my hand beneath her pretty yellow panties. I could feel the soft curls of her pubic hair as I worked my hand further down. At first I was unable to get where I needed with the restriction of her shorts, and then her butt lifted from the couch, allowing me to easily remove her shorts and take her panties with them.

With her body completely displayed before me, she was even more beautiful than I could ever have imagined. Lowering my body, I trailed light kisses down her body to the apex of her sex. Her womanly scent overflowed as I moved to her folds, which were wet with desire. Lapping up her sweet honey, I could feel her hips move, keeping in rhythm to my play. Something intense flared through my body, reacting to her moans of satisfaction as her body gave way. Exposing my own desire for her, I freed my cock from its confines, encased it with latex, and slowly entered her with gentle, even thrusts. I could feel her body light with pleasure as it clenched around me, coaxing me towards my own release. What had taken me so long to find was finally delivered, sending my body in an upward spiral to heaven and back. Never was I going to let her go again.


About the Author




Award winning Author of the Independent Press Award and NYC Big Book Award.
My love for writing began several years ago after an early retirement from a demanding job that I loved, but also hated because it consumed so much of my time. Now, I am able to focus my time on what I love. Writing romance has been a life long dream and to actually say that I am a published author is beyond what I would have ever expected.
Even though some may say I have a little naughtiness in my books, I look at it as an added bonus for my readers. After all what is a romance book without a little spice.
When I am not writing, I enjoy spending time with friends either at home or out on the town. Mostly, I enjoy a relaxing night at home where I can enjoy a glass of wine in the company of a good book.
