Publish Date:   July 31, 2014

~ Book Synopsis ~
I wish I could tell you that I was stolen.
Kidnapped off the street in some third-world country, sold against my will, while a desperate family back home waited and prayed and talked about me on the news.
I wish I could tell you that, because then you might understand.
What really happened? I walked to my fate with my eyes wide open. But before you say I deserved whatever happened to me, you should know. I was desperate. I was alone. I was afraid for my life. You would have done the same thing.
I thought things couldn’t possibly get any worse.
But then, I woke up in darkness, unable to move. There was only one thing I was sure of: I wasn’t alone anymore.
And then I heard HIS voice...

Erin's Review

This is a book you have to pay attention to. It isn't your typical dark romance, Autumn doesn't get captured, she willingly goes. Why does she do that, you ask? Well, see that's where you must pay attention.
The story is set sometime in the not so distant future. The world is much different than what it is now. People will do whatever they have to to get by. In this world people change. It's fight or flight for most, at least where Autumn is. Then she meets him.
Tate is a complex person. Circumstances have helped create the man he is today. He is guarded, jaded and lethal when he has to be.
He and Autumn's romance isn't hearts and flowers. It's darker than that. There are times I wasn't sure I would call it romance. It was more of a primal need. He and Autumn together are like chaos. They bring out the best, and worst in each other. She makes him feel things he hasn't felt in years and he gives her something she longs for. Can Tate make Autumn whole again? Can Autumn get Tate to face his demons? Or will the pieces of the two of them be too tattered to be able to be made whole again?
While this book isn't as dark as some that I have read, there are many dark elements about it. The story is intriguing, the characters stripped bare and you want them to be happy.
I hope you enjoy the story as much as I did. It's a solid 4 star read from me and comes highly recommended.

Matthew's point of view
Good morning,” she hummed, kissing and nipping my bare chest. “Time to rise and shine.” Her voice was thick and hoarse, and way too seductive.
I had to laugh at her words. My dick was already up. “Becca, if you start this, I’m going to finish it.” My words barely left my lips. I wasn’t even sure what I had said. My head was spinning from my dick being inside her mouth. Fuck! She was making me feel so good. I kept my mouth shut and enjoyed this moment as I watched her.
After yanking off my boxers, her wet tongue slowly glided over my shaft and down, making me quiver in pleasure. Every nerve in my body shot alive. After another lick and suck, she went in deeper and rocked faster. Holy fuck! Dropping my head to my pillow—because that was all I could do—I let her take me…stroke me…lick me…suck me...putting me over the edge. My Becca could do the most amazing things with her mouth.
Feeling the urge to climax, I wrung a fist full of her disarrayed hair and pulled her up to kiss those sultry lips of hers. I wanted to swallow her into me, to take every part of her, because as always, I couldn’t get enough of her. Wanting to eat her up with my tongue, teeth, and lips, I kissed her roughly and intensely.
Becky broke away while her teeth pulled back my bottom lip, leaving me panting like a dog salivating over a piece of steak out of its reach. “What do you want, Matt?” she asked playfully, looking at me with a seductive smile that said “come get me.”


Erin's Review 

This story was the perfect conclusion to this series. Told by alternating points of view, it shows just how Jenna, Max, Matthew and Becky's relationships are faring. It also shows just how different things can be for the couples. 
What I like about this book is that the issues they are dealing with could be issues anyone one of us could be dealing with. It makes the characters that much more real. From the stresses of planning a wedding to a secret that could tear a couple apart, each handles things their way and you feel for each one. I, especially, for Becky and Matthew. 
Here are two people that deserve happiness. They need happiness and deserve each other. Their storyline grips your heart and has you wondering, exactly how you would handle what they are dealing with, and of course, can they make it through. They better make it through. 
Jenna and Max are embarking on a new chapter. These two could be any couples best friend. I love the both. Actually, there wasn't a character that I didn't like. The story flowed, even with alternating points of view, it was easy to follow and drew you in. I hope you all enjoy this book as much as I did.

PROMO & GIVEAWAY: Can't Let You Go by Sidda Lee Tate

Genre: Genre(s): Erotic Contemporary Romance
The Night Series, Book 4


Falling for him was easy, but can she let him go?

After a year of travel, fun-loving pool shark Lynette Brooks has settled in Pineville to be near her cousin. She doesn't plan to be there long, and she doesn't expect fate to step in, sweeping her off her feet. But when she meets the serious cop, Ty Sellers, she sees a challenge and is determined to get to know him.

Ty is a no-nonsense, by-the-book lawman who keeps to himself. Living in a fog of misery is exactly what he deserves, and getting emotionally attached to someone is not an option…until he meets Lynette. She's spontaneous, reckless, and a gorgeous haphazard of a woman who threatens to break through his guarded walls and unsettles emotions he buried long ago.

The chemistry between them is undeniable, but the guilt Ty lives with every day causes him to push Lynette away. All she wants is him, but how much of his wavering can she take before letting go for good?

Content Warning: strong language and graphic sex


~Excerpt~

Lynette slipped her shoes off, rolled her jeans to her knees, and dipped her feet in the cool lake. A massive weeping willow loomed overhead, by the light of the night the cascading leaves looked like a flowing waterfall.

She stared at the tree for a moment then flashed Ty a smile. "Thanks for bringing me here."

He put the cooler down next to an iron framed chair with beige cushions and sat on the edge. "I called in a favor. No big deal."

"Sharon and Kyle are pretty great. I've been to their house, seen the tropical paradise backyard, but this… I had no idea it was so beautiful. No wonder Kayla asked to have her wedding here." She raised an eyebrow, gave him a teasing grin. "Have you decided yet if you're going?"

"Depends."

"Well, if you do go, be warned, there will be dancing." Lynette plucked her feet from the water and stood. She grabbed her phone from her front pocket and searched through her music. She'd never danced lakeside under moonlight, and didn't want to pass up the chance, or the opportunity to be in his arms again. "You might want to practice. After all, there's no better way to woo the ladies. What will your date think if you're not fully prepared to swing her around the dance floor as if you own it?"

"Are you saying I'm a bad dancer, Miss Brooks?"

"Nope. I'm seizing the moment." She hit play on her phone, and a slow melody filled the silence of the night air. "Dance with me."

"Here?" he asked, glancing around at their surroundings.

"Of course! Why not?" Lynette grabbed his hand and pulled him to his feet. The hint of a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. The gesture caused all kinds of crazy little birds to take flight in her chest. "What else are we gonna do? Sit here and drink beer until we both pass out?" She laughed once then stood firm, feigning a serious face. "Wait, you didn't bring me out here to the most romantic spot I've seen in forever for nothing, did you?"

"I thought you'd like it." A huge smile plastered his face.

Ty took her other hand, maneuvered her in a half twist so her back was to his chest, then spun her out to the extent of his arm and back in where they faced each other. His right hand landed on the small of her back and pulled her close. He chuckled and did some kind of waltz type step to the music. Placing his palm on her chest, he pushed until her back arched in a way she never knew it could. Slowly, Ty ran his hand down the length of her torso, leaving a trail of unbridled heat that sent every ounce of blood in her body gushing straight to her core. By the time he jerked her back up her entire body had become a trembling heap. When their eyes met, she nearly came apart and fell through the cracks of the wood decking.What the hell?

Lynette wrapped her arms around his neck to keep from sliding through his hold, and tried her damnedest to control her lungs. She swallowed hard to tamp down the shaking in her throat. It didn't work, and her words came out sounding weak, quavering. "Someone's showing off."

"Someone asked for it," he said, low and resolute.

SUMMARY

Black-Rose-3D-Paperback-eReader

Lillian Locke had the perfect life in Boulder, Colorado. She had the boyfriend of her dreams, a wonderful family, awesome friends, and a spot on the track team at a great college. There wasn’t anything life could throw at her that she couldn’t get through . . . until he found her.

Lillian never could have imagined being abducted and chained up in the dark. Worse yet, being just one of many girls kidnapped and held captive by a madman. All she can do now is hope that she survives the brutality of their captor long enough to find a way to free herself and her new captive friends.

When Richard Haines’ girlfriend goes missing, he makes it his personal mission to find the woman he loves and bring her home to the safety of their loved ones. Seeking the help of friends and family, Richard abandons everything except for his pursuit of Lillian. But when someone else close to Richard goes missing, and the bodies of the abducted girls start showing up in the hills outside Boulder, the only thing he can do is hope that he finds her before it is too late.
