Synopsis:

On the heels of Dirty Secret, here is a sizzling hot romance featuring another Burke brother and the girl he can’t resist, from the New York Times bestselling author of the Game series.

Walking out on my wedding wasn’t my best idea.

Neither was throwing my cell in the lake and taking a job as PA for Dirty B, America’s favorite rock band, complete with every teen girl’s dream man, the eldest of the Burke brothers.

Tate Burke is pure sex. Women actually throw their panties at him during shows. And Ella Dawson is the lucky little thing that gets to escort their fangirling butts out when he’s done with them.

Yay.

He’s a cocky son of a bitch, but there’s more to him than meets the eye. Every now and then Ella gets a rare glimpse of the Tate behind the “bad boy” act, and it attracts her in the most annoying way. The most annoying, heart-thumping, panty-wetting way.

When her abusive ex turns up at the hotel room Ella and Tate are sharing, raging mad, she knows she’ll need more than just a little protection. Tate sees red, and Ella can’t help but lean on him, despite his bad-boy ways.

And now? Now, he’s in a whole lot of trouble.





“Do you know anything about personal space?” Breathlessly, the words fall from my lips.
“Yes,” he murmurs, stepping into me. “I know that I fuckin’ love it when you’re in mine.”
“I mean other people’s.”
He slides his hand from my chin to the back of my head, twining his fingers into the hair at the base of my skull, and rests his other hand on my waist. “I respect personal space,” he whispers, every breath fluttering over my lips, making them red hot. “But yours looks empty, darlin’. It needs filling.”
“And you’re the perfect guy for the job, right?”
His lips crushing against mine answer my question. Tate pushes us back and I gasp as my back hits the wall. I grasp his shirt as if it’ll ground me, but I’m consumed by his tongue flicking against mine. He asks no permission. He’s not gentle. He’s rough and demanding.
His lips are harsh and desperate, his fingertips digging into me in a way that stings so bad it’s almost sweet, and his hard body against mine almost suffocates me, but that’s because I can feel all of him, from his tensed pecs to his hardened cock.
He’s against me, fully, entirely, every dip and bump of his body evident despite the clothing between us. And as his teeth graze across my bottom lip in a tantalizingly teasing way that makes me moan quietly into his mouth, I want that clothing gone.
I dip my hands beneath his shirt and trail them up his back. His grip gets tighter, his kiss gets firmer. His movements are almost possessive, but not in a bad way. They’re not selfish or careless. Every twitch of his fingers brings me pleasure. Every swipe of his tongue turns me on, too.
And I am. Turned on. I am turned. The. Hell. On. My breasts are aching, my nipples pebbling, and my clit is aching in a way I thought it forgot long ago. But it hasn’t, it remembers, and my muscles remember, and my pussy is clenching, my fingers are gripping, my lips are moving. His hands are caressing, his tongue is battling, his erection is growing.

There’s us—no doubts, no what ifs, no maybes. There’s the kiss and the need and the want. There’s the actions and the gasps and the tiny moans and the desperation. There’s Tate and Ella, the two that don’t make sense, the two that shouldn’t do this, but do anyway, on both accounts.





By day, New York Times and USA Today bestselling New Adult author Emma Hart dons a cape and calls herself Super Mum to a terrible two year old and growing bump, due September 2013. By night, she drops the cape, pours a glass of juice and writes books.

She likes to write about magic, kisses and whatever else she can fit into the story. Sarcastic, witty characters are a must. As are hot guys. Emma is currently working too many books to even count - including Playing for Keeps, the companion book to the New York Times and USA Today bestselling novel, The Love Game. She likes to be busy - unless busy involves doing the dishes, but that seems to when all the ideas come to life.

Reading second books in series is always a high risk because you have expectations from the first book and the stakes are usually high. Dirty Past surpassed all those expectations I had and even I would risk to say I enjoyed it more than the first book, leading me to the conclusion that this series just keep getting better and better with each new story.

This Burke Brothers story is about Tate and Ella. They are one of those couples that start with a sexual tension between them that leads them to start arguing a lot, for the simple things, and teasing each other to no end. Their relationship felt natural and progressed throughout the whole book making it more real and having the reader invested in the story and their relationship.

This new book also has two characters with some problems. Ella is running from an abusive ex-boyfriend who was about to become her husband if she hadn't escaped and we all now that the past always ends up catching us. I'm truly happy to see how it all ended up, however I would have treated the issue differently, like doing what Tate suggested.

Is always nice to see a cocky musician who can have every woman she wants to fall for the one not willing to go easy on him. And Tate and Ella's story while being one of those stories is also an enjoyable and memorable read. I highly recommend it to all those readers searching for a New Adult Romance read with musicians in it and a relationship that will make you swoon and laugh at the same time.

“Tate. I don’t…” she draws in a deep breath, and her fingers brush against my forearm.
“You don’t, what, darlin’?” I sink my fingers into her hair.
“Think you should… I should… we should… um,” she pauses, “do this. It’s not right.”
I laugh low, because nothing has ever felt as right as kissing her, and I touch my lips to hers. A sharp squeak buzzes through our connection, and I tug lightly on her bottom lip with my teeth. Fuck, she tastes sweet, like candy and Moscato wine, like summer breaking through a fall day.
She grabs my bare sides and I lean into her more, pushing her back onto the sofa. She goes with me, her grip on me tightening. Our bodies fall flush together, and as I kiss her deeper, swiping my tongue against her bottom lip, she eases her hands around to my back.
Her hands are soft and so fucking warm, each touch is a burning trail across my skin, one I feel tingling everywhere, because, fuck, fuck, fuck.
Too many girls, kisses, touches. None like this.
No softness beneath me, no hot fingertips against me, no deliciously sweet lips against mine.
No Ella.
“Wrong,” she breathes.
“You afraid?” I whisper.
She inhales sharply, but she shakes her head. “No.”
“Then it ain’t wrong, darlin’.” My mouth descends on hers once again, and I sweep my lips across hers. Her body is responding, slightly arching into me, but it’s her mouth, her kiss, that fucking consumes me.

Her tongue meeting and battling mine sends me into another fucking dimension, some ten million light years above ours. Consuming me, fucking with me, she drives me crazy yet again.

Blog Tour: A Darker Past (The Darker Agency #2) by Jus Accardo



A Darker Past (The Darker Agency #2)

Publisher: Entangled Teen
Release Date: November 11th 2014

Synopsis:

The past is Darker than they thought...

Between helping her mother with the Darker Agency and laying the smack down on monster baddies, Jessie Darker puts the “normal” in paranormal. But lately, things have gotten a little crazy...even for a smart-assed half-demon teenage girl.

For starters, Jessie’s been contracted into fifty-five years of annoying servitude. To a demon. Then there’s Lukas Scott, her sexy new boyfriend. Once the former incarnation of Wrath, he’s been going through some...uh, changes. Like residual anger. And trading chaste hangouts for lusty make-out sessions.

But it’s when Lukas and Jessie accidentally release a Very Nasty Demon that things get really bad, setting into motion a chain of death and mayhem that threatens both Earth and the Shadow Realm. Jessie has exactly four days to fix it...before all of Hell breaks loose.





A Darker Past

"Bingo!" I gathered the corners of the tablecloth together so I could carry the whole thing like a sack, then slung the makeshift bag over my shoulder and turned back to Lukas. He was staring dead ahead with his mouth open and eyes wide like he'd seen a ghost. "What is it?"
            His left brow twitched. The number one sign that he was about to say something I wouldn’t like. "Elaine Davis."
            I readjusted the makeshift sack across my shoulders. It was heavier than I thought it'd be. "Who?"
            Lukas was still staring at the wall in front of us. "Her name. It's Elaine Davis."
            I looked around the room. There was no one here but him and me. "Whose name is Elaine Davis? The wall?"
            He sighed. "Lucy."
            I almost dropped the sack. "You can see her?"
            He shuffled from foot to foot before looking me in the eye. Another twitch from his left brow. "Yes."
            Since when could he see the dead? From the look on his face, this wasn't something brand spanking new, either. The guilt was etched like runes in marble. He'd been holding out on me.
"And she just told you her name?"
            He looked from me to the corner, cringing a little. "Not exactly."
            I took a step toward the door and set the bundle down against the wall. It flopped over noisily, but the knot held together. "Not exactly? What does that mean?"
            He didn't answer.
            I moved forward to wave a hand in front of his face. The whole staring into space thing was getting creepy. "Hellooo?"
            With another sigh, he said, "I know her."
            "You…know her."
            "I courted her. Before my marriage to Meredith was arranged. I courted Elaine."
            "Courted Elaine," I repeated like a parrot. When he didn't answer, I understood. "Holy crap! You're saying you dated Lucy?"
            "Elaine," he corrected calmly.
            "Whatever. Are you serious? Like, seriously serious? You dated the dead girl in Town Hall?"
            He rolled his eyes. "She wasn't dead when we dated, Jessie."
