Satisfaction (Taking Chances #2) Blog Tour +Giveaway +Review


Title: Satisfaction 
Series: Taking Chances #2
By: Jeanne McDonald
Publication Date: January 4, 2017
Genre: Romance

 

Brix Johnson is the kind of guy a girl brings home to meet her parents. The reserved intellect. The handsome boy next door. The wealthy yoga instructor. He’s also the guy haunted by the mysterious woman who gave him the best sex of his life, yet refused to give him her name. With his bombshell no more than a memory, he does what any normal, sexually frustrated man would do ─ he returns to Indulgence. At Indulgence, a yearly, invitation only, New Year’s Eve erotic masquerade party, Brix can shed his typical persona for one night, and be anyone he wants to be. Lucky for him, the women at Indulgence don’t require conversation. They simply want hardcore sex. But when his past sneaks into his fantasy, can he cope with reality or will he walk away from pure satisfaction?

The crop cracked against my hip. It was so sudden and while I didn’t really feel anything, the sound caused me to jerk against my restraints. “Are you all right?” she asked, sounding sincere. “Yes, mistress.” She drifted the crop back down to my crotch. “Now, I will not inflict any pain here.” She swirled the tip of the crop around my penis. “But that doesn’t mean I won’t tease.” Another crack against my thigh and I damn near bounced out of my skin. The posters of the bed jerked at my reaction, but I remained unmoved. Back and forth the crop kissed my skin. My thighs burned yet my cock grew harder. I winced at the sting yet ached with need. Her strikes weren’t hard at all. Nothing like I’d seen in porn or read about in books. No, she was being gentle. Gearing me up. And it was working. Just when I thought I might not be able to handle much more, she landed one final blow to my thigh and then rubbed the crop along the burn. “Not even a shout or a hiss. I’m proud of you. You’re a natural.” My chest inflated with pride. I hadn’t even realized I’d held my tongue. Cedar returned the crop to the drawer and moved to the bed where she straddled my hips. “What is it that you want?” she demanded. “Be clear and frank with me.” I lay there, unable to move, feeling her hot pussy against my stomach and all I could think of was, “I want you to own me.”




 
 This is the second book in the series and they should be read in order.  This book picks up about six months after the first one ends and focuses on Brix.  This book had twists and turns that I didn’t see coming.  Brix has never been very good with women.  While at Jacoby and Eddie wedding reception a women comes on to Brix and tells him she wants to have sex with him.  She won’t tell him her name and after their encounter she disappears from the wedding.  No one seems to know who she is but she has left a lasting impression on Brix.  Months later he can’t get her out of his head.  Addison and Sebastian try to convince him to attend Indulgence again.  They want him to take a chance.  Brix decides they are right and agrees to attend indulgence again.  Will Brix have a better experience this time?  Will Brix find something like Addison and Sebastian found.  Jeanne writes a book that pulls you in and makes the characters seem so real.  I really felt for Brix at the end when everything is revealed.  The book does have a happy ending with no cliff hanger.  I can’t wait for the next book.  I hope it is about Mercy and Gable.

Kayla Sutton has finally submitted. And now that Gage has his wife firmly under his control again, he won’t stop until he’s extracted every last independent drop from her being. As each day passes, she learns new ways to accept his dominion. After all, she has a lot to atone for. Flirting with disaster with her ex-lover turned brother-in-law might be forgivable, but it’s not so easily forgotten. And neither are skeletons. If there’s one thing Kayla has learned it’s that skeletons don’t just come out of the closet; they bust through with the power of a locomotive, mindless of the destruction they cause. For the sake of her sanity, Kayla must make a tough decision, even if it means leaving everything behind.

Excerpt
 “It really boils down to one thing,” Simone said. “Do you trust him?” She made it sound so easy, but as I examined my feelings and tore apart his words, dissected his actions, I realized that I did. Mostly. There were plenty of things not to trust him about—anytime he came near me with his cock at the ready and a belt or whip in his fist, for instance—but on a fundamental level, I did trust him. If I didn’t, why would I keep putting myself through this? Why keep bending and bending and bending? “I do trust him,” I said, swiping my bangs to the side. “I love him. More than I could ever say. More than even makes sense.” “Then I’d put the baby mama out of your head. He married you, and though I won’t begin to understand or approve of your…weird relationship, he has always come across as pretty fucking whipped.” I almost spluttered my tea all over the table at her words. Gage, whipped? But the more I thought about it, the more it clicked, because when you got down to the nitty-gritty, we had each other wrapped. “I guess you’re right. I just wish I could get that woman out of my head. The way she touches him, and the way she glares at me…God, Simone, she makes me see red and green at the same time.” “You need a fucking hobby.” Simone’s mouth twisted into a scowl, but her gaze softened as she said it to take out some of the sting. “A hobby?” I asked, absently picking at my half-eaten quiche. Apparently, the subject of Katherine made me lose my appetite. Or maybe it was the smell of overcooked cheese. I pushed the plate away, scrunching my nose. “Why do you say that?” Simone made a scoffing sound, and I glanced up to find her reclined in her seat, arms crossed. “To hear you talk, it sounds like your whole life revolves around Gage and what he may or may not be doing with Katherine.” A hobby might not be a bad idea. Maybe I could start collecting trinkets, like dolphins or dragons. Or elephants. Definitely elephants. Lord knew I had plenty of those in my life. Gigantic ones that ate up too much space and sucked up all the air. One stood between Gage and me in the form of Katherine. But the biggest one sat smack in the middle of Simone and me. This elephant’s name was Ian, and he’d grown too secure in his comfy spot since that damn note had magically appeared on my door. But it was easier, safer, to focus on my marriage and the interloper named Katherine. The subject of Ian was too dangerous. Too painful. Simone must have agreed because she didn’t bring him up once.

This is the forth book in the series and they must be read in order.  Kayla is back under Gage’s control and everyday he finds new ways for her to submit to him.  With Ian sent to a cancer center for treatment in the last book.  The only outside force to cause trouble between Gage and Kayla is Katherine.  Katherine wants Gage back and Kayla out of the picture and she will do anything to make it happen, even use their son.  Kayla wants to completely submit and trust Gage but there is that little voice in the back of her head that won’t let her.  Will Kayla find a way to trust Gage?  Will Katherine finally get the hint that she isn’t going to get Gage?  I love this book the best in the series.  I am happy that Ian finally came to terms with Kayla and Gage’s relationship.  There were so many times not only in this book but in the series I wished I could jump in the book and take Katherine down a peg or two.  I think you really see how much Gage has changed in this book.  He may not be different to other people but he is different with Kayla.  He is opening up to her and she is learning to trust him more.  They of coarse have a big issue in this book and of course it has to do with Katherine.  However it is also the down fall of Katherine.  This book does have a happy ending.  This book has lots of twists and turns and I would love for there to be more books in this series.  Please say there will be more books Gemma.  I think their relationship moves to another level in this book.  I highly recommend this book/series.

Release Date: October 14th, 2016  
Genre: Contemporary Women’s Fiction

Gillian Campbell is out of patience.
Her husband is choosing his hobby over her. And the hobby in question? Live Action Role-Play, or ‘larp’. Larp involves dressing up as a character (be it medieval knight, banshee or centaur) and participating in imaginary battles for entire weekends.
Gillian is not impressed. She seeks professional advice and is surprised when her therapist encourages her to try larp. “Who knows? It may make you smile. It may make you laugh. It may even improve your sex life. How terrible could it be?”
The advice seems super sketch to Gillian, but she decides to don a costume and give it a go. If larp doesn’t work a marital miracle, Gillian will be able to walk away knowing she tried absolutely everything before giving up.
Will going on her own role-play adventure heal Gillian’s marriage, or will the game shed light on everything that is wrong?

Excerpt
“Pardon me?” I’d said. “Harping?”

“Llllarping,” the flutist had corrected. “L-A-R-P. Live-action roleplay, you know?” She’d answered my question with a smile but her predatory gaze had shifted to Ralph.

“Sorry,” I said. “I don’t know.” We were at a gala fundraising dinner for the Philharmonic Orchestra. I’d been performing with them for several years. My instrument, the French horn, might not have been the sexiest, but it was solid. Substantial. Not some flighty, erratic-sounding woodwind reminiscent of a chickadee caught sucking helium.

I took a sip of my wine and wondered how we could politely exit this conversation. Lauren, a flutist who had recently joined the orchestra, was droning on about her gap year after university, while Ralph, more interested in his bacon-wrapped artichoke, had been zero help keeping the stilted discussion going. Zero help until she’d dropped larp on him like crack cocaine.

Ralph looked up from his plate. “Live action. Is that like acting out a scene from a game? In real time or something?”

Lauren nodded.

“Doesn’t it attract some strange people?” he asked. His attention was already moving back to his appetizer. “You know, Dungeon & Dragons types who haven’t left their basements since the 1970s?”

I gave a polite chuckle.

But not Lauren.

She howled.

She threw her head back, long blonde waves streaming over her bare shoulders, as though Ralph had said the funniest thing ever. The swell of her breasts nearly bounced over the deep neckline of her turquoise gown.

Brother.

I self-consciously smoothed my black dress – the same one I’d worn to last year’s event – over my Spanx, which were unfortunately cutting off circulation to my abdomen.

“Larp attracts all types,” Lauren said, having managed to catch her breath before her breasts escaped clean out of her dress. “If you like adventure and the outdoors and excitement, you’ll like this.” She directed her response at Ralph, who had, after all, asked the question. “You should check out our website sometime. It lists all our upcoming events.” Reaching into her purse, she pulled out a business card and handed it to Ralph.

“Oh, er, thanks.” He balanced his plate in one hand, handing his wine glass to me while pocketing the business card.

I’d found it there later. I’d taken the card with its heavily embossed gold print out of his pocket before throwing his dress pants in the wash.

And if I hadn’t found it? The card would’ve been mashed to a wet pulp and torn into several mucky pieces, later to clog the dryer vent with the rest of the lint. Would that have changed anything?

Perhaps not. We live in the Internet age. Yet I still couldn’t help wondering.

Because instead of discarding it, I’d placed the larp card in the basket with loose pocket change and odd socks, the ones whose matches were forever MIA.

And there the card had sat. Waiting to be rediscovered.

And, of course, it had been. All it took was the right series of events. A crisis had hit—the unthinkable had happened. Then, incomprehensibly, life had moved on.

I had remodelled the kitchen.

Ralph had bought leather-studded armour.

THE HUNTRESS
thehuntress-ebook

I am not a good person. In fact, I am the worst of the worst. I was dragged down into the gutter and have thrived in this seedy underbelly where I was recreated. Reborn as Eleanor McGuire, socialite and professional hitwoman. The filthiest, dirtiest, high profile pieces of garbage, I end them. I am the huntress. Corrupt men are my prey. Dawn and Kristen want to warn you: this is not for the faint of heart! But if gore, violence, and extreme sexual situation are your cup of tea, this is the read for you.

THE HOPELESS
the-hopeless

I am not a good person. In fact, I am the worst of the worst. I am a god. I give life and I taketh away. I can ruin someone at the drop of a hat and often do it for fun. Yet the world would never know. I smile for the cameras and live the privileged life. But with every vile existence comes the opportunity for redemption. She is my Redemption. I am the Huntress. Society doesn’t realize how deadly I truly am.

This is the third and final book in the series and they have to be read in order.  This book is a bit faster paced than the first two but I still loved it.  I read it in one go and it didn’t take me long.  I loved how they wrapped everything up.  There is more romance in this one than lust and sex.  There is a bit of suspense and danger just like in the first two books.  I would love to read more about these characters.  I can’t say enough about how much I have loved this series.  Dawn and Kristen have done a fantastic job.  I would love to read more books by the two of them.

Three times best selling author Dawn Robertson was born and raised in Connecticut before relocating to Florida in 2013. The same year first novel, Hers debuted as an Amazon Best Seller. Replicating that success with two additional novels in the following years. The Indie publishing world has grown to love her raw writing style depicting strong women in real life situations, topping the charts in erotica, romance, and romance-suspense. Robertson has even insinuated that the female characters in her book mirror her real life. But, that I'll leave to speculation. When Dawn Robertson is not writing she is a full-time Real Estate professional in Florida, and mother of three amazing children.
