Jun 27, 2018 | Angel Payne, Blog, Blog Tour, June 2018
Bolt (4 & 5) by USA Today bestselling romance author Angel Payne are here. Each part of the series has approximately 30,000 words.
Bolt by Angel Payne is a series in nine installments. As this series is built upon the previous book I recommend reading this series in order. A little tidbit, if you’ve read Misadventures of a Superhero then this character will seem very familiar.In the Misadventures series his story was short, hot, and full of electrifying moments. Now, Angel Payne delivers Bolt and delves deeper taking us into what happened to Reece, what triggered his dive into an almost unthinkable place, and his journey to turn his life into something positive.
Bolt is a phenomenon, a superhero, a man of intense powers in a world where a living superhero is exciting, erotic, and almost unthinkable. Will he win the woman he desires most despite his abilities?
Fueled by revenge, driven by love, Reece Richards is a powerful businessman who will meet one woman who can defy his odds and prove he isn’t broken. There is only one thing standing in his way, a powerful secret that could destroy everything. Will Emmalina stay with Reece or leave him? If they can uncover who is responsible for Bolt’s existence, they will finally be able to be together. Will they find out who made Reece the man he is? I love reading a story with a suspense element, tons of secrets, and lots of hot chemistry.
Scorchin – Caution, may lead to unexpected need to turn on the A/C.
I received this ARC from Bare Naked Words for a fair and honest review.

The Distiller’s Darling by Rebecca Norinne and Jamaila Brinkley is refreshing and delicious. There is nothing sweeter than a collaboration that reads with such fluidity and grace as this does. I tried to figure out which author wrote specific chapters and I was unable to decipher. Ladies, well done.
For those familiar with the River Hill series, this book focuses on Naomi Klein and her crew of friends. New to the series, no problem. I love that this book can stand on its own for those who have not read The Vintner’s Vixen as well as satisfy returning readers with a continuation of beloved characters that brought them back for another bookcation.
Naomi Klein is strong, witty, and knows what she wants. Unafraid to speak her mind despite the potential for alienating herself from her family and friends she’s tired of her meddling mother and town gossip. Naomi is oozing talent and will stop at nothing to achieve her dream, but does she really want a life of one-night stands and no commitments? Is it possible that she can have an established career without giving up someone special? When she meets a sexy Irish whiskey connoisseur he will leave her panties twisted and her heart ripe for the taking. Will she change her mind regarding marriage and discover it’s possible to have it all?
Iain Brennan wants to to be defined by his work and not constricted to his families expectations or old world ways. Working with his twin sister on a secret project he travels across the pond to make his move. There is only one thing preventing him from achieving his goals, a sexy artist who will become the canvas in this fabulous love story. Will his family be receptive? Will he change his mind on relationships and family?
If you’re looking for something fun this weekend try an adventure with hot chemistry, a solid story built around families, friendships, and a town where everyone knows you. Now is the perfect time to visit River Hill, I hear there’s a great B & B with a few rooms available :)!
I received this ARC from Inkslinger PR and the authors for a fair and honest review. For a book that has love scenes behind the bedroom door this is still a scorching hot read!

THE DISTILLER’S DARLING by Rebecca Norinne & Jamaila Brinkley
“Thank you for doing this,” Iain said, the pad of his index finger tracing over the design Naomi had created for Whitman’s Revival. “To be honest, I wasn’t sure I’d hear from you again. You kind of ghosted me.”
He glanced up in time to catch her looking away guiltily. “Yeah, about that—”
“I’m not asking you to explain yourself. I get it. We had some fun, and now it’s time to move on.”
Naomi’s eyes came back around, the guilt replaced with what Iain thought looked a whole lot like contemplation. “Funny you should mention that.”
“Funny how?”
“I was thinking,” she said, her finger swirling a pattern on the table that separated them. “You’re leaving in two months, and it would be a shame if we didn’t spend that time … hanging out.” Her eyes bored into his, as if daring him to misunderstand.
His lips quirked up into a smirk. “Why, Miss Klein, are you asking me to fuck you senseless until I board a plane back to Ireland?”
She tossed him a wicked smile full of promise. “You have to admit; we’re pretty damn good at it.”
“The best,” he agreed.
He felt his chest sawing in and out as his breathing became deeper and more labored. Iain couldn’t remember the last time he’d felt such heady anticipation. Oh, wait, yes, he could. It was that night in San Francisco when he and Naomi had practically run from that dive bar to his hotel. He’d been so ready for her that he’d ripped her dress off before the door to his room had locked behind them.
“So, what do you say, Brennan? You want to spend the next sixty days seeing how many orgasms we can give each other?”
That was all the invitation Iain needed. Abruptly, he stood, his chair scraping over the black-and-white-checked linoleum and then crashing to the floor. He stalked around the fifties-style diner table and fisted his hands in Naomi’s hair. He bent at the waist and let his lips hover scant centimeters from her parted ones. He could feel the warmth of her breath mingling with his own. “What do you say we get started on that now?”
She licked her lips. “Yes, let’s.”

“What brings you here?”
Her mother examined her surroundings. “Do you have a place to sit down?”
Naomi sighed. “Come on in. The living room is this way.” The dining room had been converted to her office, but she’d furnished the cozy living room with a comfortable couch and a chair or two. She mostly used the space for watching ridiculous movies when she was feeling burnt out. Although she and Iain had done a few other things in there several days ago. Probably not something she should be thinking about as she watched her mother sit carefully down in the exact spot Iain had—never mind.
“So? You’re sitting. In my house. Which you’ve never visited before, let alone showed up unannounced to. Why are you here, Mom?”
“Oh, it isn’t just me, dear.” Her mother smiled at her beatifically. “Your father’s here, too. He’s just taking a little nap. You know how travel tires him.”
“You live less than two hours from here.”
“Yes, of course. It was certainly a drive. There were many interesting fields and farms.” Her mother’s tone conveyed her opinion about such things, and it wasn’t positive. “I left him at the cozy B&B we booked. So convenient that it had availability.”
Oh, no. “You’re staying? At a B&B?”
“Oh, yes. Even more charming than your little place here. I understand they’ve undergone some renovations recently.”
“Mom, are you staying at the Oakwell Inn?”
“Well of course, darling.”
“But that’s Noah’s—”
“Yes, I promised his mother a full report, of course.” Her own mother sniffed. “Angelica is a charming girl, although she seems quite busy.”
That explained why nobody had thought to warn Naomi about this ambush. Angelica was due to leave to film another segment of her popular show in a day or two. Possibly even tomorrow—Naomi wasn’t sure of the exact schedule. But Noah and Angelica would have been far too busy cooing over each other to even register this particular emergency. They probably thought Naomi had invited her parents to come.
“Why are you and Dad here? You never leave the city.”
“Darling, you didn’t answer your phone. I assumed you were dead. We came to identify your body.”
“You booked a B&B to identify my corpse?”
“Well, we certainly weren’t going to stay at a Holiday Inn.”
Naomi closed her eyes and sought patience. “You knew I wasn’t dead. What’s going on?”
Her mother leaned toward her. “It’s an intervention, Naomi.”
Naomi felt her jaw drop. “A what?”
“An intervention. Jacob and Tanya are on their way, too. We felt the whole family should be here.”
