Book Info:
Title: Forget Me Not
Author: Sarah Daltry
Cover: Shoutlines Design

Summary:

18+ New Adult romance

This isn’t a sweet and innocent coming of age story. If dirty talk, bedroom toys, and threesomes offend you… this is not your book. There are also no billionaires, strippers, or virgins. This is just the story of typical college kids trying to connect to each other.  

“No one tells you when you start school just how homesick you will be, or how hard it will be to start life over with no direction and no friends or family. No one says that becoming your own person is terrifying.”

Lily Drummond has never wanted anything but Derek, her brother's best friend. When she chooses to go to a different college than him after a year together, she thinks nothing will change. However, she soon finds that she's not sure who she's supposed to be, and she also doesn't think he's what he was.

Things grow more complicated when Lily meets Jack. If Derek is the guy who fits into her plans, Jack is the guy who makes plans seem irrelevant. Not only is Lily devastatingly attracted to Jack, but something about him also makes her want to know him, and not just physically. Jack, however, has had a rough road, and he's afraid to let Lily in. 

As Jack finally begins to open up, though, Derek reminds Lily of what they have worth fighting for. Lily is left standing in the middle, but she's also left to decide what part of her life belongs to her. Can she find love without losing herself completely?

Excerpt:

When we get back to Jack’s room, it’s awkward, because I know that he knows that I have things that I want to try. He just watches me, sitting on his bed, as I cross my legs, uncross them, and then cross them again. The tingling is intense. I want to mention things I’d like to try, to gauge how tonight will go. I don’t doubt that Jack is up for almost anything, but I’m still afraid that my fantasies are crazier than he might be expecting. I doubt it, but no one I know talks openly about these sorts of things. Abby might be able to help, but of course, I can’t call her. And I am certainly not going to discuss my fantasies online while she’s using an internet cafe in a random European city. I’m still a little embarrassed about my own desires. I really don’t need Jacques or Pierre or some other French-sounding guy to be privy to them. I can’t even express them to Jack and he’s already fucked me several times. 

“Princess,” he says, after I’ve sat here staring and crossing my legs a few more times, “there is nothing you can say that will shock me – and there is nothing I would not do with that sweet cunt.” 

“I’ve never really tried a lot of things,” I say, relief that he can tell what I’m thinking overcoming my nerves. He’s sitting across from me, in his chair, just watching me react and it’s both intrusive and erotic. It’s those damn eyes, I swear. They’re unreal.  

“Well, I’ve tried plenty,” he says and, rather than making me jealous, the confirmation excites me. “How about you let me surprise you? I think I have some ideas.” 

“Please.” I like leaving it up to him, because it keeps me from feeling like I’m weird for what I want. I also get the impression that he knows just what will please me and I’m looking forward to seeing him try. I’m already wet just thinking about how good it was last night. Tonight, I don’t have whiskey or the rage about Derek to stop me from experiencing everything Jack offers. 

He goes into his dresser drawer and pulls out handcuffs, a black silk scarf, and a ball gag. Apparently, he wasn’t kidding about his experience. I don’t know what to say about the fact that he keeps sex toys in his dorm room dresser. It both scares me and gets me even more excited. Of all the things I could have hoped that he would have planned, the three objects in his hands are the ideal. I want to be told what to do, to be at his mercy. I want to lose myself to Jack.  

He approaches me, his smile huge. He teases my arms with his fingertips and then he flips me over without a word, handcuffing my hands to the metal bed frame. He reaches around my face and slips the ball gag into place. The rubber keeps me from making a sound, but it isn’t uncomfortable. In fact, I have to admit I like the way this whole scenario makes me feel. 

He’s pressed against me from behind, clearly aroused, and he runs a hand down to my breasts. “I’m going to enjoy making you scream and being the only one who knows how much you like it,” he whispers. He moves his hand over my ass and I almost come right there. Jack is a lot of things and sexy as hell is at the top of the list. He slides my skirt up around my waist and laughs. “No panties. Oh Christ, you are amazing.”  

He ties the black silk around my eyes and then he begins to finger me. I couldn’t see anything but the mattress anyway, but it turns me on to be under his control like this. I’m completely at his mercy and I get wetter knowing that he can do anything he wants. This submission is the sexiest thing I have ever known. Jack works harder on my pussy and I feel how wet I am as he finger fucks me into orgasm. I am already a wreck and I know he is just getting started.

To Catch A Falling Star by L. Duarte

To Catch a Falling Star by L. Duarte

 

Summary:  

 

It’s been five years, but Melody still mourns the death of Tim, her soul mate and husband who never had a chance to hold their daughter. Mel and her daughter have the love and support of Mel’s brother Will and sister-in-law Portia, the famous Oscar-winning actress-turned-mother. Mel works three jobs and mothers Ella, but she spends her mornings facing the demons of her grief. Her faith and her father, the pastor, helps Mel grapple with her grief.

Portia opens her home to her childhood friend Tarry Francis, a successful, womanizing rock star. He’s trying to beat his addictions. Again. He’s going through the motions, but needs his drugs and rowdy lifestyle to keep his childhood pain in check. Tarry’s privileged upbringing contrasted with his cruel parents, who starved him of affection. Who can fix that?

Mel is forced to counsel Tarry, but he’s so damaged and unwilling to try that she’s not sure anyone can help fix him. She gives him a special coin. Could this open their hearts to each other and fuel their love? Is this a step forward that will free them to catch the falling stars? Or will Mel remain faithful to her first love?

Rich in meaning, To Catch a Falling Star is about two lovers whose hearts struggle to open to find the magic of the journey of love. It’s a joyful and passionate story about overcoming challenges to lead us to love and the fulfillment of our dreams.

To Catch a Falling Star is the stunning follow-up novel to L. Duarte’s debut Chasing Stars about Portia and Will’s romance. A spiritual and playful read, L. Duarte has provided readers the chance to believe in healing a broken heart.

My Review: 

Let me first start by saying that To Catch a Falling Star is the second book in the Chasing Stars Series. In order to fairly review the book, I read both. That isn't necessary to do in order to understand the book, but I highly recommend it.

When I read Chasing Stars, I fell in love with Will and Portia right away, and was right there cheering for them to find the love they both deserved. L. Duarte didn't disappoint in her page-turning novel. Not knowing how she could possibly top the first book, I went into the second with high expectations.

I am a very diverse reader and will pick up a book to read in pretty much any genre, as long as it speaks to my heart. Well, in the prologue of To Catch a Falling Star, L. Duarte did just that, and I went through half a box of tissues as I lived Mel's love and the pain she went through when she lost her soul mate too early in her life. I had to ask myself how I could cry over a character that I never actually met (he was only ever mentioned as being overseas in the first book), but I did just that.

As the book progressed, L. Duarte pulled me in several different directions. Just when I would feel a tug on my heart for Tarry and root for him, she would change things up and I would feel a similar pull for Mel. Their path was by no means easy and they faced many challenges that were seemingly insurmountable. As the book ended, I found myself using the other half of my box of tissues, but no, I'm not going to give away why. If you want to know if it's possible for one person to have two soul mates, and overcome life's challenges, then you should definitely read To Catch a Falling Star.

Both books were well written, the characters were well developed, and the plots pulled you in. I give a solid rating of 4.5 stars, and would recommend this amazing series to anyone who loves Contemporary Romance.

About the Author:

I have found that there is only one thing better than reading, and that is writing. I am always torn between the two. I am also frequently torn between chocolate and coffee. However, I emphatically do not like the month of February, lies, and flies. For me, bravery is defined by the courage to do what we fear the most. This conviction is reflected in my debut work of romantic fiction, Chasing Stars. I live in Connecticut with my husband and two children. Drop a few lines. I would love to hear from you.

Excerpt:

Oliver wined and dined me with style. The conversation followed effortlessly, and a few hours later we were back in the bar having a nightcap.

“I really can’t thank you enough for dinner, Oliver.”

“It was my pleasure, Jade. I’ve enjoyed your companionship immensely tonight.”

“Do you really own your own company?”

“Why do you ask that?” he chuckled into his coffee.

“You’re so young and…fun. I thought CEOs were supposed to be bald with beer bellies, and be too stressed out to even crack a smile.”

“Are those the kind of CEOs you have as your clients?”

“Yes,” I laughed.

“These interior art skills of yours—how much do they cost?”

“Are you interested in utilizing my skills, Oliver?”

“I’m very interested, Miss Gibbs.” Oliver’s look became almost predatory.

“Maybe we should take this conversation elsewhere, then?” I suggested, looking around the bar.

“Where did you have in mind?” he asked, moving a little closer, his hand lightly skimming my leg.

“I was thinking of retiring for the night. It’s getting quite late,” I breathed, stretching out to play with his tie.

“Alone?”

“Actually, I was kind of hoping for some company,” I whispered timidly, pushing off my stool and slowly walking toward the lobby area. Counting to five, I turned to see Oliver walking toward me, looking dark and dangerously handsome. I was actually looking forward to seeing if this guy was any good in bed.

I pushed the button for the elevator and leaned against the wall just as he caught up with me.

“I hope I’m reading these signs correctly,” he grinned just as the elevator doors opened. With a small grin, I stepped in and pulled him with me. Oliver crashed his lips against mine right as the doors closed behind us.

Kissing was second nature to me. I could fake desire, even if it felt like I was kissing a wet fish, but as Oliver lifted me by my ass and pinned me against the elevator wall, I groaned in actual pleasure. I didn’t have to fake it. Desire flooded through my veins as I ran my hands into his dark hair.

“Christ, you’re beautiful,” he groaned, his lips moving down my neck while his hands began to fumble for the hem of my dress. I was about to start dry humping the guy if he kept on like he was.

“Ugh…” I groaned as his hands worked their way under my dress and he gripped my ass cheeks roughly. “Oliver…ugh…which floor?” He leaned toward the elevator buttons with me still wrapped around him, and pressed a button before quickly returning to attacking my neck.

“I saw you the moment I walked into the bar tonight,” he purred, his hands running slowly down my chest. Both my legs were wrapped around his waist. “And I wanted you.”

“Ugh…I…I’m flattered,” I said, forcing a blush. The elevator opened and Oliver finally let me go. As I slid down his body, I could feel his muscles through his shirt. Mm…it really was going to be a fun few months.

“I want you to know I don’t usually do this sort of thing,” I muttered, playing with the zipper on my purse while he opened his bedroom door.

“Neither do I.” He shook his head as if to clear it from a random thought, and somehow, I didn’t believe him. He was too smooth and confident to have never picked a girl up in a bar before.

“Wow, your room is so much bigger than mine!” I acted awestruck, gazing around as I placed my bag on a table. “Is this just the living area?” I gasped, turning to see that he was suddenly right in front of me. He responded by crashing his lips against mine while backing me against the wall.

“I don’t want to make small talk anymore. I just want to fuck you, Jade,” he growled into my ear. Holy crap! I was so turned on; I could feel the wetness between my legs begin to flow. His hands came back up underneath my dress, but rather than grab my ass like he had in the elevator, he simply pulled my panties down. “Do you want me to fuck you?”

“YES!” It was a plea, because in that moment, I’d never wanted anything more. I heard his belt buckle and the sound of foil before he was suddenly slamming me hard against the wall. Fuck, I’d dreamed of being taken this way, but never once had I thought it would happen. Who was this guy?

“I’m going to make you cum harder than you’ve ever cum before,” he smoldered into my ear. His fingers slowly teased my entrance and I arched my back, needing more. “I can feel how much you want this. I know your kind—shy and withdrawn. Let me free you. Let me release the desire I know is inside you.” Oh, this guy had no idea just how much desire was inside me. I wrapped my legs tightly around his waist, drawing him toward me before I bit down on his neck.

“Fuck, yes,” Oliver growled, and with one deep thrust he was inside me.

I’d never been fucked this hard before. I was wanton. I needed everything the guy could give me as he slammed into me over and over again while I was pinned against the wall. “You feel so good,” he panted between thrusts.

“Fuck me harder!” I was totally breaking character, but I’d never had a man bring me to orgasm without my help before, and right now, I needed that moment more than the air I breathed.

“Harder? You better brace yourself then.” Oliver gripped my legs and rotated his hips before pushing deeper and faster inside me.

Before I could make sense of what was happening, I felt myself begin to build—the feeling becoming warmer and more intense with each of his movements. This guy was going to make me cum. Jade Phillips—top Seductor—was finally going to cum by the power of a man!

“Give it to me, Jade. Don’t you fucking dare deny yourself!” Oliver could feel my orgasm begin to take control, so he slid his fingers between us, circling my clit to help ease my release out.

When I did explode, it was earth shattering.

“Ugh…fuck…fuck…fuck,” I groaned, my entire body trembling.

Oliver continued to pound into me until he found his own release. “Fuck, yes, Jade…ugh…ugh…I knew you’d make me cum this hard!” Oh my God! He looked so hot when he climaxed.

I was still pinned against the wall, held up by his arms as we regulated our breathing. “You see?” Oliver finally spoke. “I knew there was a wild girl in there somewhere.”
