Blurb

I am Tara Zain.

Human rights attorney, the Commander to my colleagues in
international affairs, and fiancee to the most powerful man in the country.

I've learned love is a useless distraction. Money and status
are the true motivators, and powerful alliances are much more important than
romantic entanglements. My passion is my work, and nothing, not even the
promise of happily-ever-after, will keep me from accomplishing my mission.

This is why I've made a bargain with the one man who
shattered my heart years ago. He's proposed that I stand by his side and foster
the beginning of a new political dynasty.

But I have secrets.

Secrets that could destroy not only this man and the passion
we've rekindled but the very laws of the nation he has sworn to uphold.

I am Tara Zain. Future First Lady of the United States of
America and COMMANDER.

Excerpt

I turned to
face Ashur and came to an abrupt halt.
Instead of
the impeccably tailored suit I expected him to be in, he wore a large towel
wrapped around his waist. He rubbed his damp hair with a small cloth as beads
of water trailed along the tanned skin of his broad shoulders and washboard abs.
It took all
my effort not to lick my lips.
His honed
form was a work of art.
He no
longer possessed the lean physique of the boy I’d fallen in love with but that
of a man who’d built his muscles from years of military training. There wasn’t
an inch of unnecessary fat on him, and his chiseled abs would put a bodybuilder
to shame. The only things marring his gorgeous form were the slight scars on
his waist and chest. He’d incorporated them into the Indian-inspired tattoos
that covered most of the left half of his upper body, making me want to trace
each design around them. Not just with my finger but my tongue.
And then
there was the way the towel clung to him. Dear lord, a woman had to be dead not
to drool and hope for a peek at the package hidden under the cloth.
Shit, what
was I doing?
Get your hormones in check, Tara Zain. Your
entire family is waiting for you down the hall.
I ignored
my self-reprimand and continued to examine Ashur’s body. Politicians were
supposed to be balding with potbellies. Not sexy as sin, covered in tattoos,
and looking like they should be on the cover of a wet Wednesday calendar.
“Want me to
lose the towel?” A smirk touched his lips.
Damn. He’d
caught me staring at his body.

Once Upon a Scandal by Madison Faye



Title: Once Upon a Scandal
Series: Royally Screwed #6
Author: Madison Faye
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: October 1, 2018





Blurb

Once upon a time, a nobody met a prince.
Then she met his best friend, a second prince.
Then she learned they like to share, and
that’s when things got interesting.
That’s when things got downright scandalous.

My life has never
been a fairytale. Absent parents, a grandmother gone too soon, and a job working
the kitchens for the most heinous bitch in the Kingdom of Bandiff.

But that’s before I
sneak into the hottest royal ball on the planet. That’s before I waltz right
into them.

The McDermott
Princes. Princes, plural. There’s two of them – both gorgeous
beyond belief, alpha as hell, and more tempting than sin. Both with their eyes
on me and both with that look that says that I’m theirs.

Two princes, one
baker. This might sound like too many cooks in the kitchen, but they say they
like to share. They say they’ll tear their whole kingdom down to make me theirs. They
say they want to make me their Queen.

Pretty soon,
breaking into a royal ball is the least of my problems.

This is a disaster
waiting to happen. It’s filthy, and oh-so-wrong. It’s a royal scandal of epic
proportions, and I’m right in the middle of it.

…I’m right in the
middle of them.

Maybe this is a
fairytale after all. Ever heard of the cook who found a crown? How about two
crowns? Two big, dominant, mouthwatering, pulse-quickening crowns.

I’ve never found a
happy ever after. Now, I think I’m about to find two of them.

MAZ: Westside Skulls Motorcycle Club (Westside Skulls MC Romance Book 6) by Jessie Cooke

Title: Maz 
Series: Westside Skulls MC Book 6
Author: Jessie Cooke
Genre: MC Romance
Release Date: October 1, 2018


Maz always knew he wasn't the best-looking guy in the room, but he was okay with that. He was big and tough, and he fitted right in with his brothers at the Westside Skulls. He loved his job there as an enforcer. He came from a good family, and despite some struggles overcoming feelings of abandonment he had from being left by his biological mother when he was just a baby, he really had nothing to complain about...except that he was lonely. Being average-looking wasn't what kept Maz lonely. He didn't need the piercing blue eyes of Dax Marshall or the smoldering dark good looks of his club's SA Bruf. He attracted many women...he had a secret weapon. Maz's first language was French, and American women were drawn to his accent. Maz could take almost any woman in the room home with him if he wanted to...but his other secret was what made him so lonely. Maz had the anatomy of a porn star, and one look at his equipment sent most women scrambling for the door. He'd almost given up on finding a woman who would fall in love with him and be able to handle him in bed as well, when Marissa walked into his life.


Marissa spent most of her adult life taking care of her diabetic mother and she wasn't looking for anything other than a plane ticket to the East Coast and time to travel, when Maz came into her life. She tried to deny it, but the chemistry was much too overwhelming and the two of them clicked, over almost everything...most especially in bed. Marissa was certain she'd found her soulmate and Maz seemed to think the same thing too...until suddenly he left town, taking an assignment for his club two thousand miles away that might not see him making it home.



Marissa wants to know why Maz ran. Maz doesn't want to know the old family secret he discovered. Will the star-crossed lovers find their way back to each other...or will the explosive secret Maz now holds in his hands, destroy them both and take down two families in the process?



* * *

Book 6 in the Westside Skulls MC Series. 
This is a Standalone Romance Novel but characters from this story, will appear in future books in the series. 
HEA and No cliffhanger. 
Intended for Mature Readers.



* * *

The Westside Skulls MC Series is about members of the MC club, their friends and associates. 
Each story, while focused around one main character, is not necessarily about a Westside Skulls club member, but the story is related to Skulls members and the club.









“Oh, fuck no! No way. You’re not touching me with that thing! Jesus, you need to find yourself a porn star if you want a woman to touch that.” Chelsea scrambled off the bed as if maybe Maz had pulled out a rat, or a snake. Of course, that was what he’d named it, the snake. She was staring at him from across the room now with her chest heaving and her big blue eyes filled with fear. Maz was disappointed, but not surprised. He had hoped this one would be different, but he’d been disappointed so many times before that he was used to it.

Maz had only just met Chelsea a few hours before in a club that he’d found on his way back from a ride to Merced. He’d gone to pick something up for Wolf, and Wolf had given him extra cash for a motel room so that he didn’t have to make the ride in one day. The club was downstairs from his room and he could hear the music booming as soon as he’d walked into the lobby earlier. He’d taken a shower and left his kutte in his hotel room before going downstairs with one thing on his mind. Maz was proud to be a part of the Westside Skulls, but sometimes the colors got people all worked up...and tonight he didn’t want to fight, he wanted...no, scratch that, he needed…to fuck.

For the past month and a half Maz had been embroiled in an exclusive and intensely unsatisfying relationship with his right hand. He needed hot flesh, someone else’s flesh. He needed curves and big breasts in his face. He needed a tight, wet pussy wrapped around his cock...and he was hoping tonight he could find that.

He walked into the loud, dark club and took a seat at the bar. The club was so crowded that Maz could hardly hear himself think. He’d only been there a few minutes when a fifty-something blonde with a nice body sat next to him and started talking. He was only able to make out every fourth or fifth word she was saying, but that was okay with him, he wasn’t there for the titillating conversation. He smiled at her and nodded in what he hoped were the right places. She seemed interested in him, which was a good thing, and she was sober, which was even better. Yep...unless she had a dick underneath that short dress she was wearing, she’d do just fine...he hoped.

“So, then I moved to California!” She was suddenly yelling in his ear and he realized the loud music had stopped. She giggled. “Oh, I’m sorry. I probably broke your eardrum.”

Maz smiled. He wasn’t movie star good-looking like Ash, or mysterious and overly masculine like Wolf...or even sulky and dark like Sledge. He was simply average, in his opinion. He was the kind of guy that most women could pass on the street and not be able to pick out of a lineup twenty minutes later. But he could work with that, thanks to his beloved maman.

“My eardrum is just fine, belle femme.” The blonde’s eyes widened, and he saw her go from semi-interested to full-on lust in seconds. His accent was his secret weapon.

When he was a year and a half old, his dad had married a French woman. She had moved to New Orleans earlier, seeking a new life after having her heart broken in Paris. Maz’s father had been there to pick up the pieces. His stepmother Elise turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to Maz and his father. The baby boy had been abandoned by his mother and left with a father who loved him but had no idea what to do with a baby. Maz’s aunt told him stories when he got older about how frightened his father was to even touch him when he was little. She lived on the West Coast, and they lived in New Orleans, and Maz’s father would routinely call her at 2 a.m., begging her to fly out and help him. He’d tried and tried to hire a live-in nanny, but every time the applicants found out that he was a single father, they disappeared. Maz’s dad was a big guy...huge, as a matter of fact…so the women’s reluctance to move into his home with him was understandable, but to Maz’s detriment.

By the time his father met Elise, Maz was grossly overweight, not talking at all, and barely walking. Elise had stepped in and taken over, and within a year she had the boy off the bottle, slimmed down to a healthy weight, running, not just walking...and talking up a storm. Of course, his father couldn’t understand a word he said, because he was talking in French. He’d had to learn English as his second language when he started school and it had left him with a strong accent, one that women adored.

“What a lovely accent,” she said. “French?”

“Oui.” She actually shuddered. Yeah, this one was definitely interested...at least for now.

“What’s your name?” she asked.

“Maz, what’s yours?”

“Maz...I’ve never heard that before. Is it French?”

“Oui,” he lied. His name was Zane Zimmerman. The guys in the club had renamed him Maz and he liked it. Zane was too connected to his past, and he was happy to leave it there.

“I’m Chelsea.”

Maz lifted her hand off the bar and brought it to his lips. “Honore de vous rencontrer belle.” He could feel the heat coming off her body as her face flushed, and she let out a little gasp and he knew he had her. Only one drink later and a quick spin around the dance floor, where he was careful to keep his hardening cock from brushing up against her, he had her back up in his room and the little skirt around her ankles.

He was sitting on the bed, still fully clothed, and he had her standing in front of him...gloriously naked. For an older woman, she had a smoking hot body, and his cock was aching. He reached up with one hand and hooked it behind her head, pulling her down in a deep, sexy kiss. She moaned into his mouth and when she broke the kiss and stood, she put her hands in his curly black hair and pulled his face to her breasts. He began to feast hotly on them, licking her smooth flesh and nibbling on her nipples. She liked it when he used the sides of his teeth to scrape along the outside of the nipple, judging by the moans and soft curses escaping from her lips. He reached between her legs as he suckled on her other nipple and found her sopping-wet pussy. He began to stroke it lightly, up and down her puffy lips, lightly skimming her clit from time to time and making her whimper. He kissed his way from her breasts down her belly, licking around her bellybutton as she pushed his head down lower.

He could feel her getting wetter while he stroked her and just before his mouth reached her mound, he slid a finger up inside of her. She cried out and arched her back so that her pelvis was tipped in his direction. He pushed another calloused finger up inside of her. She was fucking tight, and as excited as that thought made him, he knew it also didn’t bode well for how the rest of the night might go. He shook that thought off when his tongue reached her mound and he could smell her sex and how badly she wanted him.

He stood up and deftly avoided her hand, which was reaching toward the massive bulge in his jeans. He wasn’t ready to find out just yet what she was going to think of it. He nudged her down so she was sitting on the bed and then, dropping to his knees, he picked up her legs and threw them over his broad shoulders. She cried out as soon as his face descended on her pussy. Her hands went to her breasts as she lifted her hips even higher to meet his mouth and she twisted, pinched, and pulled on her own nipples. Maz let his tongue come out and he licked her from one end of her beautiful, smooth pussy to the other. She took her right hand off her breast and reached down and used it to open up her lips to him. One thing he did love about older women...they weren’t shy about their bodies. They knew what they wanted, what they liked...and they went for it.

Maz opened his mouth and covered the entire opening of her pussy with it. He began to lick at the sensitive skin on the insides of her lips, probing her opening with his tongue, teasing her. She moved her left hand down too and with that one she wrapped his hair around her fingers and pushed his face in even deeper. He moved it back and forth, tickling her with the light stubble on his chin. She was breathing heavily and making loud noises. He didn’t care if the whole floor heard them; if she let him fuck her, he was sure it wouldn’t be quiet. It was going to be quick and he wasn’t going to be gentle...he knew that already, simply because he needed it so fucking badly.

Chelsea tightened the muscles in her legs and used them as leverage to raise her hips up and down...fucking herself against his face. He pushed his tongue up inside of her as far as it would go and pressed his nose against her engorged clit. She was getting louder and more excited, ripping at his hair so hard that he wasn’t sure he’d have any left by the time he was finished. When her body tightened up she let out a scream that was nothing but lust, and satisfaction. He felt the warm gush of her orgasm and he continued to lick and suck lightly until she began to relax and her legs, up on his shoulders, began to quiver. He lifted his head and looked at her face. She was flushed, and her eyes were dilated...she was drunk with lust...now was the time. He gently took her legs off his shoulders and lowered them, and then he stood up and pulled off his shirt. She sat up and ran her hand over the tattoo on his chest. It was a cross being held by a pair of praying hands and the words “Carpe Diem” were emblazoned across it. Maz had learned a long time ago how to seize the day, and it was one of his favorite sayings. And right then, he wanted to seize the moment.

He lay down next to her on the bed and said, “Chelsea, I want to fuck you so badly.”

She rolled over to face him and put her hands on either side of his face, pulling him in for a passionate kiss. She raised one leg and draped it over his hip and then he felt her rub herself against the front of his jeans...against his throbbing cock. That was the first sign that his night wasn’t going to end on the note he’d been hoping for. She’d looked up at his face and said, “Damn, that’s a huge bulge.”

He smiled and said, “Objects in the jeans are larger than they appear.” He thought it was funny, but all he’d gotten from her was a polite chuckle.

She moved her leg and said, “Are you going to take them off...the jeans?”

He couldn’t stall any longer, and truth be told, he didn’t want to. God, he needed to feel himself buried inside of the woman. He wouldn’t tell her, but any woman, really. He just needed to fuck, the good old-fashioned way. He unbuttoned and unzipped his jeans and when he pushed them down and she saw the top of his cock protruding from his shorts, that was when her eyes had grown wide. When he pushed down his shorts and she saw the full monte...all ten and a half extremely fat inches of him…the start of another frustratingly lonely night began.






My Review: 5*
Maz is the 6th book in the Westside Skulls Series by Jessie Cooke. I have read all 6 books in this series and each one just gets better. Jessie Cooke has done an amazing job with this series. Each book in the series features a different key player in the Westside Skulls MC. But all of the other key players play a part in every book. So you don't loose track of the others, you get to keep following their story.  All of the characters in all of the books are brought to life, they aren't just some words on a page. I really have enjoyed this series and hope it continues. At the end of each book there it is an introduction to the next book, but at the end of this book there is an introduction  to a different series, so I have a feeling this series is complete, at least for now. I do like that every book in the series can be read as a standalone but I do suggest you start with book one. It really is a great series and you will want to read it all. 

In this book we take a closer look at Maz. Maz was born Zane Zimmerman, in New Orleans. He was deserted by his birth mother as a baby and raised by his father and french step mom Elise. Being raised by Elise had more then one benefit. She raised him with French being his first language and Maz uses his accent as a weapon to get women. Maz has never gotten over being deserted though, and all though he loves Elise like a real mother he still wants to know why his birth mom didn't want him. 

Marissa is a the manager of Target. She has been heart broken in the past and really has no desire for a relationship. Instead she wants to travel and experience life. When her best friend Charity bluntly tells her she needs to get laid, they decide to visit Spirits that night. Spirits is a biker bar. 

After a chance meeting at the bar will Maz and Marissa both change their minds about not wanting a relationship?

Sorry can't really go further into the story. There is some mystery to this story and I don't want to blow it. But I suggest you read it. It as the best book in the series. 






Jessie Cooke writes hot romance novels about tough guys, bad boys, bikers, fighters and lovers and the women of strong character who tame them.
