*** EXCERPT REVEAL *** Mister Moneybags by Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward

  MMB banner 1  

IMG_5273


I met Bianca in an elevator.
She was on her way to interview me when we got stuck.
The beautiful, raven-haired reporter assumed I was a delivery guy because of the way I was dressed.
She had no clue I was really Dex Truitt, the wealthy, successful businessman she’d dubbed “Mister Moneybags”—her afternoon appointment.
Bianca told me how much she hated Dex’s type—snobby, over educated, silver- spooned men who didn't appreciate the simple things in life.
So, after the elevator finally started moving again, I cancelled the interview and let her believe I was someone I wasn’t—a bike messenger named Jay. I loved the way she looked at the fake me and didn't want it to end.
I began dating her as “Jay”—all the while letting her interview the real me over email.
I didn’t expect that our chemistry online would be just as hot.
I didn’t expect the mess I’d gotten myself into.
I didn’t expect that Jay and Dex would fall in love with her.
And she was falling for two men.
Only, both men were me.
And when she found out, we were both going to lose her.
Nothing could have prepared me for that day. And I certainly wasn't prepared for what came after.
All good things must come to an end, right? Except our ending was one I didn't see coming.

MEET BIANCA

I sighed audibly. Are we even moving? It was seriously the slowest elevator I’d ever taken. Frustrated, and maybe a bit anxious to get the interview over with, I took another shot at the elevator panel. Again, pressing the button repeatedly, I groaned, “Come on. I’m already freakin’ late.” I breathed a sigh of relief when the car seemed to finally pick up speed. But then, it jolted to an abrupt stop, and the elevator went pitch black. “Well now you’ve gone and broken the damn thing,” a deep voice said from behind me. Startled, I jumped and bobbled my cell phone in the dark, which resulted in it falling. From the sound of it smashing against the floor, I knew it had broken. “Shit! Look what you made me do.” I bent over and patted the floor, but I couldn’t find it. “Can you at least give me some light so I can find my phone?” “It would be my pleasure.” “Thank you,” I huffed. “If I had a cell phone on me.” “Are you kidding? You don’t have a cell phone on you? Who walks around without their cell phone?” “Maybe you should try it. If you weren’t so obsessed with yours, we wouldn’t be in this predicament.” I stood, and my hands went to my hips. “How so?” “Well, you were so busy typing away on your phone, you didn’t even notice another passenger was in the car with you.” “And?” “Had you seen me, you wouldn’t have jumped hearing my voice and broken your phone. Then we would have had light, and you would be able to see that elevator panel well enough to push that button another twenty or thirty times. I’m sure that would’ve helped.” I felt the man moving around behind me. “What are you doing?” When he answered, his voice came from a different place. It was to my left and beneath me. “I’m on the floor looking for your cell phone.” It really was pitch dark. I couldn’t see a thing, but I felt the air move, and I knew he must have stood back up. “Put your hand out.” “You’re going to put my phone in it, right?” “No, I’ve taken down my pants and I’m going to stick my dick in it. Christ, you’re really a bitch, aren’t you?” Thinking he couldn’t see me, I smiled at his sarcasm and put out my hand. “Just give me my phone.”

MEET DEX

Wow. My little ball player was quite the fox. I’d only seen her from the back before the lights went out. Now, I was staring into her beautiful, big brown eyes, feeling like this elevator mishap wasn’t such a bad thing after all. She cleared her throat. “The lights came back, but we’re still stuck.” I clicked on some of the buttons. “Seems that way. But this is a step in the right direction. I bet this thing will be moving in no time.” And by this thing moving, I do not mean my dick, although I could have sworn I felt it twitch when she just licked her beautiful full lips. Do that again. Fuck. She is beautiful. My eyes travelled down the length of her body then back up again, loving how the small buttons on her conservative blouse formed a path up to her delicate neck. I wouldn’t have minded sucking on that skin. Maybe I could entice her to play hooky with me. “Where are you headed once we get out of here?” I asked. “The thirty-fourth floor,” she said. What? What is she doing going up to my floor? I know she doesn’t work for me. I would have remembered that face, those eyes. “What kind of business you have going on up there?” “I actually have the pleasure of interviewing Mister Moneybags himself.” My stomach sank. Ohhhh. This didn’t bode well for me. I swallowed then cocked my head to the side and played dumb. “Who?” “The elusive Dexter Truitt. He’s the CEO of Montague Enterprises. They occupy the entire top floor.” Trying to seem like I was not seriously about to lose my shit, I asked, “Why do you call him Mister Moneybags?” “I just picture him to be this crabby, money-hungry asshole, I guess. Sounds like a fitting name. Of course, I don’t actually know him.” “Why do you think that way about him, then?” “I have my reasons.”

***RELEASE BLITZ, REVIEW & GIVEAWAY*** Target by LP Dover


Title - Target: A Circle of Justice Novel

Author - LP Dover

Genre - Romantic Suspense Standalone

Release Date - April 4, 2017 Cover Designed By -

Mae I Design and Photography



An assassin . . . that’s what I am.

I’m Wade Chandler by day and a killer at night. I get the job done no matter the cost. Not only do I hunt people for the FBI, but I’m also the owner of Chandler Enterprises, one of the top companies in the southeast.

When Brina Carmichael – daughter of the former president – wants my business advice, it’s hard to resist her long legs and seductive smile. One thing leads to another and now I’m in too deep.

I can’t let her know what I am, but I’ve never wanted a woman the way I want her.

However, harboring secrets comes at a price and I have a feeling she’s keeping some of her own. Especially, when my next mission leads me straight to her. Turns out she’s not who I thought she was. 
 


Standing at the receptionist’s desk, I waited to hear the verdict. Would Wade see me or not? When I heard his answer, I breathed a sigh of relief. I didn’t want my stupidity to ruin my shop’s chances at success. The receptionist smiled up at me. “You can go back now, Ms. Carmichael. His office is the last one on the right.” “Thank you,” I replied with a smile of my own. Pulse pounding in my ears, I walked down the hall to Wade’s office. I had a folder of my designs tucked under my arm. Hopefully, it’d be enough to persuade him. Taking a deep breath, I knocked on his door. “Come in,” he called out, his voice making me shiver. I hated how this man made me feel like that. It’d been over a week and I could still feel the way he touched every square inch of my body. I wasn’t a needy woman, but he made me want more. This is business, nothing more. Head held high, I opened the door. Wade was at his desk, leaning back in his chair, all cool and confident, dressed in his expensive suit with his brown hair perfectly coifed. Definitely not a bundle of nerves, like I was. “Mr. Chandler, it’s good to see you again.” His brows lifted. “Likewise. Although I’d probably believe it more if you hadn’t run out on me the last time.” And there it was. Biting my lip, I shut the door. I couldn’t tell if he was angry, or didn’t care. “Thought I’d save you the trouble,” I confessed. “We both had a little too much to drink that night. And let’s face it, it was either going to be me or you. And I prefer not to be the one left behind.” “Neither do I,” he said in all seriousness. “So, what brings you here?”
 
 
 
 LOVE BOOK 1!! LOVED BOOK 2!!!

I'm really enjoying this series!!!

Book 2 is Wade. He's recently taken over Chandler Enterprises after his father retired. He's still doing work for Inner Circle but it's getting harder and harder for him to switch off. He doesn't have time for relationships and he knows it would be hard anyway as he has to keep his life secret. He's given a job to help the president. The president and he sister are old family friends of his. He hasn't seen Brina since they were really young but at a function they meet and sparks fly!

One thing guaranteed with an LP Dover book is action! Lot's of it!!

Right from the start BOOM action we're in. I honestly didn't put it down from there. The thing i love about this book too is the connection between the hero and heroine. They fit!! There is a little to and fro but not so much that it gets tired. Perfect balance. The chemistry was there!! It was great too that they knew each other when they were small i like to think it was destiny they got together!! swooon!!!

Brina's character was brilliant. I won't spoiler but boy did she shock me!!! Her father was assassinated when she was young and she's never really gotten over it. But her brother is now president and instead of being scared and a victim she's rose to the challenge and i loved that about her!!

I had a soft spot for Wade from book 1. Well all of them to be honest lol but he exceeded my expectations!! massively!! Strong, dependable, sexy, alpha but not overboard! phewwwww weeeeee loved!!!

The story flowed amazingly i was gripped. It built and built then surprise then build again!! FAB!! I also never saw who the baddie was!! I totally thought it was someone else so this made me very happy i like a good surprise!!

I loved seeing Wade's brothers too and his dad and i totally want Wades dad and Brina's mom to get it on!! Novella please LP Dover??

Really excited for Ian's story who's up next!!!

5 action packed stars!!!

Blurb
Ryan Walters and Jackie Bowen became instantaneous friends during their wild and free years of college. He, the rugged, yet all American football player from a stable family fell hard for Jackie, the exuberant, spontaneous girl from a broken home who lived and loved life to the fullest. Too young to commit and wary of damaging the unique bond they shared, the friends to lovers make a pact promising to find one another again at the age of thirty and marry—if not already committed.

Years apart, after much growth and change, the two best friends seek one another out. In college, neither Jackie or Ryan could possibly know that every relationship to come would fall short of the one they’d shared together all those years ago.

When the two meet again, love and chemistry soar beyond their wildest dreams and they agree to make good on their promise. But a second chance at love can be fickle and fleeting. 

The Marriage Pact is a story about letting go and loving with your whole heart no matter the circumstance—or how much it hurts.

​The Marriage Pact, the second book in The Viral Series following Missed Connection, by romance authors K. Larsen and Mara White is based on a heartbreaking viral Reddit post.


My Review 

Beautifully devastating. Captivatingly emotional. Heart wrenchingly powerful. 

Missed Connection was the very first 5 star book I read in 2016 so when The Marriage Pact was announced, I was over the moon. I had an idea of what to expect based on M.C., but Ms. White and Ms. Larsen have the ability to absolutely break me and mend me at the same time. Thus The Marriage Pact played out before my eyes with my heart in my throat the entire way through. I literally started this book as soon as it hit my Kindle and didn't put it down until 2 hours later when I finished. I was entranced in Ryan and Jackie's story from beginning to end. And to know it all stemmed from a real life viral post only made it that much more ingenious. 

Ryan and Jackie met in college and quickly became best friends. Over the years they were everything to each other except exclusive. While Ryan wanted to build more with Jackie, she had scars that didn't let her open herself up to that kind of relationship. But it was obvious there was something special between them so they created kind of an open relationship all the while Ryan waited in the wings for a signal that Jackie was ready for something deeper. But when tragedy struck Jackie once again, it seemed that Ryan was never going to get more from her. As years go by Ryan cannot get rid of his desire for Jackie even when they go years without seeing each other. He tries to move on like Jackie told him to but it just doesn't seem in the cards for him. Yet fate may finally have smiled down on these two soul mates and Ryan refuses to let go a second time. But life is complicated and so is love. 

Talk about angst. And heartbreak. And anticipation. And devastation. And soul deep true love. I adored every single word in this book. Mara and K. wrote another story that I will not forget. I laughed and swooned and fell in love with these two characters. And I will be honest. I ugly cried in a truly ugly, messy way. Like deep down in my bones, I sobbed. This story was a beautiful and broken tale of just how messy love can be but also shows its raw beauty.
