Soft Wear ♣ Book Review

3/15/2018

Blurb

A hardcore Dominant meets a sweet submissive...
He knows he’ll never forget.
She wishes she could remember.

After Paige Morgan crashes her car on a mountain road, she doesn’t remember anything about her life—certainly not the dark-haired pilot who rescues her and claims he was hired to protect her. All she knows is that Luc Travers’ rugged good looks tie her tongue in knots and ramp her pulse into overdrive. Lost in more ways than one, Paige accepts Luc’s help and the sanctuary of his mountain cabin where thoughts of submitting to her rescuer’s sexy dominance fuels her darkest fantasies. Yet as threats from her past become real, Luc may hold the key to her life… and her heart.

When private investigator and experienced dominant, Luc Travers, is hired to protect a lovely auburn-haired submissive, he knows the job will get personal. Paige Morgan had him locked and loaded from day one, and he’s determined to keep her, whatever it takes…but claiming his girl won’t be easy. There’s the little problem of amnesia and threats to her life. He must resist the attraction while keeping her close, clashing professional ethics against private desires, and testing his control like nothing else.
With danger closing in, and everything he loves at stake, no force on earth will stop Luc from protecting what’s his.

Book Trailer

Inside Scoop

We've seen these characters in the previous books! NOTE: SOFT WEAR is a stand alone. You do not have to read the other two books. You're just missing out on some good stories--that's all.

There will be one more of the Hot Alpha Billionaire books, but nothing is slated for afterward. Book 4 could be the last one!

My Review

SOFT WEAR is a stand alone.
You do not have to read the other books.

Luc immediately had me curious when I met him in HARD WEAR (Book 1). He seemed mysterious. Self-possessed. Confident. Protective over his sister. Then we find out he's a private investigator using technology to help people. All great things in a book boyfriend. I had high hopes for Mr. Travers.

When I saw Paige Morgan in STONE WEAR I knew we'd be seeing her again. In SOFT WEAR she's kind, reserved, soft but strong with just enough self-reliance to frustrate Luc. He wants to take care of her and in the end, he does--in so many ways!

SOFT WEAR is another wonderful story in the world created by Marilyn Lakewood about Doms that make a clothing line for those in the D/s life style. Instead of a club, Dominant and submissives hook up by wearing special clothing. There are no spoilers here, only a high recommendation!

I recommend this to READERS of:

Light BDSM
Dominant/submissive
Possessive Alpha Males
Amnesia Romance
Billionaire Romance
Contemporary Romance who like mild kink

EXCERPT

Reading to Paige while she snuggled innocently against his side, turned out to be hell. Luc had to keep the book open over his lap. His cock didn’t care about the story, it only wanted to escape and touch any part of Paige’s sweet little body.

So far, the tip of his erection had stayed wedged under his belt, but it seemed eager to communicate as if to say, “Excuse me, little sub, if you’re going to sit so close, you need to wrap your hands or lips around me and…”

Luc frowned at the book and paused reading. The words made no sense to his distracted, bloodless brain. He drew a calming breath and tamped down his frustration.

“What happens next?” Paige pointed to the open page. “The hero is creeping down the dark corridor… and what happens?”

Luc had a damn good idea of what could happen next, but it had nothing to do with the story. “He steals the secret documents and escapes the enemy’s stronghold.”

“Did you just tell me the end?” She squinted up at him, her face mere inches from his chin.

“Possibly.” When he tipped his head down, he focused on her eyes, not her lips, but arousal still roughened his voice. “I haven’t finished this book yet.”

She raised a russet brow at him. “It doesn’t sound like you want to finish either. You’re growling.”

“Not at you.”

“The book? I didn’t think it was that bad.”

“It has redeeming qualities.” It covered his lap, for one. He couldn’t judge the story. Right now, all he could think about was getting this woman under him and his cock inside her. “Paige…it’s time to call it a night.”

“I guess so.” She sat up and glanced at the clock. “Wow, it is getting late.”

Luc stood and held out his hand. “I’ll walk you up.”

“Thanks.” She gripped his hand, and he gently tugged her to her feet. “That was nice listening to you. You have a really great voice.”

“I used to read to Jen while Mom fixed dinner.” He led Paige up the stairs.

“Was your mom a good cook?”

“No, terrible—but she tried hard and was so loving, we ate whatever she made with a smile.” Luc stopped at her bedroom door and focused on Paige’s eyes. Do not look at her mouth. Do not kiss her. Do. Not.

“Aww, how sweet.” Her beautiful lips parted in a soft smile, and she sighed. “I wish…”

Oh, hell. That mouth… so kissable… so fuckable. He forced his gaze up and caught her glancing at his mouth. Yeah, he was screwed, and not in a good way. “What do you wish?”

She met his eyes, a blush tinting her cheeks. “Honestly?”

“Never lie to me.” He knew she’d done exactly that the first day when she’d tried to convince him she remembered who she was. Although he understood her instinctive need to cover a vulnerability and protect herself, now she knew him better, and he’d only accept the truth.

“Okay.” Her throat moved when she swallowed. “The first wish was that I had a family like yours, a place filled with love and laughter. Then I looked at your mouth and wished you would kiss me.” She looked down. “I know it’s wrong, but I had this need for you to just take me in your arms.”

I can't even (Seducing Sensei update)

9/8/2016

I'm too exited to write anything!!

All I can say is...I found the perfect video guy for my book trailer...and I can't...I can't even...

I'll show you a 20 second clip he gave me. I just can't even...

YES! I know it cuts off right when it starts to get good. Did you think that I was going to show everything? Hell I don't even have the full video yet. This is just a taste.

But this is everything that I want. The fretting over the music, the artist, the video editor. And now it's all coming together. And I can't be more happy. I'm inspired to do the edits faster. I can't say how much it has helped me get enthusiastic about the project. But the story has work to do. This small vitory will get me there that much faster...quicker? Fasterer? Yes, yes, editors of the world unite and flog me. But I can't...I can't even...

Seducing Sensei Update

7/7/2016

My god, you must be sick of me giving updates of my latest work. However, the picture you see above is the last panel of Zoe's story boarding for the trailer of Seducing Sensei. Now all I have to do is...

...put it all together.

Here's what we have so far:

Music

Artwork

A title.

That's easy...Seducing Sensei. I'd thought of the title Teacher's Pet, but I think I'll save that one for a later book.

Combine my 87 images to the music and we'll have a trailer. Holy hell it's been fun. I think Zoe made the process awesome. She kept feeding me images every week. After panel 40, my face was turning red and I was a total fan girl...

What to do now:

Hire someone to put these all together. This YouTube video is what I'm going for:

PLEASE BE WARNED!!! THE VIDEO IS YAOI
(MALE ON MALE SEXUAL RELATIONSHIPS)
PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD
DON'T CLICK UNLESS YOU WANT TO SEE THIS

Yeah, sorry for the warning but some people don't take my dirty blog seriously sometimes. Anyway...

So all this work and still no video, yet. But there will be!

As for the rest of the book. I've penned the last word of the first draft and have put it in the drawer to simmer. Don't freak...I'll leave it in there for a few weeks, bring it out, edit it over a week, then send it out to the betas!!

But as soon as I shelved it and could think about something else, my paranormal, fantasy, dragon story reared its sexy legs up and...it too is an all male menage. Hell if I know what's going on with the inner workings of my head but there you have it. I don't even know what genre to call this one other than all male menage dragon story. It's been in my head since 2014 and it's never let go. So...I'll be posting about that one until I have more news about Seducing Sensei. I'll send out an email to all my peeps so if you want to be apart of my crew, scroll to the top and sign up for my readers group list. You'll get a free story too--just to see if we're compatible. If not, no worries!

So now, whip-lash back to S.S. (Seducing Sensei) I'm putting all the updates of SS in chronological order for posterity purposes for later. One day, we'll look back and smile.

In other things to do before this book comes out...I need:

Cover
Beta Readers/Crit Partners
Line Editor
Marketing Plan

All of which is underway shortly. Zoe is working on the cover. I'll prolly have a cover reveal. But before that even, I'll have beta readers/crit partners look at the story and then a line editor. After that editing we'll get a copy editor. Then it will go up for pre-order and a marketing plan will ensue. But I'm so excited! I have my trailer almost there. Everything is coming together. Ahhhh...the birth of a book. Thanks so much for following me on the journey!

Until next week!!

GO TO: http://www.carolmckibben.com/snow-blood-a-vampire-mystery-thriller---season-3.html FOR an EXCERPT

So I love this trailer. Maybe it's because it's my mom's book. Maybe it's because I was involved. But mostly because I just think it's awesome...

Wasn't that awesome!! It was awesome.

Congratulations to Carol McKibben on her latest book launch!!
