Love Between the Bases #1
Jennifer Bernard
Releasing May 26th, 2015
Avon Romance



Jennifer Bernard, the USA Today bestselling author of the Bachelor Firemen series, scores another homerun with a brand-new series about sexy, single baseball players.

Playing for the Kilby Catfish is hotshot pitcher Caleb Hart’s last chance to salvage his career after a major league meltdown. But the day of his opener with the minor league team, Caleb strikes out with the gorgeous woman who is delivering a petition to run the unruly Catfish out of town. Now to stay in the lineup, Caleb will need to score big with the feisty brunette he can’t keep out of his thoughts.

After the nasty lies Sadie Merritt’s rich ex-boyfriend spread about her all over town, she’s lucky to have a job at all. She can’t afford to screw it up by falling for the player who is supposed to be helping her change the image of the fun-loving Catfish. But that’s easier said than done when Caleb’s voice alone is enough to make her pulse race. And when he surprises her with a mind-blowing kiss, she knows there’s no turning back.

When a passionate encounter throws her into the world of Ethan Wilde, Angel is helpless to resist the irrefutable desire and depth of raw emotion he ignites in her.

Angel craves his touch like a drug and yearns for the love he promises, but surrendering to the feelings he’s unearthed will mean exposing her fears and releasing the demons buried for a lifetime. Exposing her heart will leave it at risk of being broken.
Will Angel choose to leave her life of solitude behind, or is the choice no longer hers?
Ethan Wilde is used to getting what he wants … and what he wants is Angel.

Label on a photo of a twisted rope: Excerpt

Ethan had his back to me, unaware of my approach, and was slamming about in a rage, anger radiating from every pore of his body. As I came within a few feet of him, he seemed to lose it all together, and raising a bowl in the air, smashed it down violently into the sink. “E, what are you doing? What’s happened?” I gasped, stunned by the vehemence of his demeanor. My presence startled him and he swung around to face me, his eyes dark, nostrils flared with seething rage. Seeming to war with himself, he opened his mouth to speak, but the words failed, as if they’d already begun to evaporate before he could form them. Instead, he just stared at me, his eyes dark and intense with emotion boring so deeply into mine that they seemed to reach inside my very soul. Suddenly he moved, striding swiftly toward me and without a word, flung his arms around me, squeezing me so tight it stole the breath from my lungs. “What is it?” I asked, fear gripping my heart with the frightening possibilities raging through my mind. As if the physical contact with me offered sustenance, he relaxed his grip, his face angling to look down at me through glistening eyes. A profound sadness seemed to have engulfed him, a helpless, angry veil shrouding his usually poised mien. Then, as if to dispel the emotion that even impeded his speech, he shook his head and closed his eyes. As he did, a solitary, angry tear escaped from the corner of his eye and spilled on to his cheek. “E, please tell me. What’s wrong?” I pleaded. When his voice finally emerged it was hoarse, barely above a whisper. “You.” Rope square_Fotor_Reviews “This novel blew me away! I found the instant connection between the two characters like something out of a movie. You can almost imagine the sparks flying. There are some tender moments between the two and of course LOTS of heat! And I mean Kindle melting heat! The story kept me wanting more and there were moments when I laughed (a certain scene with a DVD), moments when I cried and when I was so angry I couldn’t see straight! Kendra Leigh is a fantastic writer and this debut novel from her is amazing. I cannot wait to read the next novel in this series! HIGHLY RECOMMEND this novel and it is FIVE HOT STARS from me!” ~ Kerry Ann, Goodreads This book blew my mind. Sucked me in from page one, and kept me on the edge…Ethan and Angel had chemistry from the moment they laid eyes on each other. Literally, no words needed and you could feel the heat between them. They are off the charts sexy together. This book is full of absolute panty-melting scenes. But that’s not all. There is a ton of emotion and some suspense (which I LOVE!) as well.” ~ Jennifer, Goodreads

Series- Book # 1
By- Tyffani Clark Kemp
Genre- Adult Psychological Romantic Thriller
Publication Date- January 5th, 2015 

Blurb

Four months ago, a traumatic accident put Trista in the psych ward. They were supposed to help her deal with the events that transpired, but something happened to her in there. Something changed her and Jeremi Lloyd can’t figure out what it is. As her guardian, it’s Jeremi’s job to make sure Trista is taken care of. During the day, Trista is happy and content with the best fiancé in the world, but at night, horrible nightmares plague her sleep.

But Jeremi has a huge secret, one the doctors say Trista isn’t ready to handle. It’s a secret that could shatter what little bit of happiness and stability Trista has been able to find. 
When Jeremi learns that strange things are happening at the psych ward where Trista was being helped, he starts to wonder if her nightmares and her mental instability aren’t really her fault. And he wonders if the secrets he’s keeping are worth it. 
As the answers begin to surface in ways neither Trista or Jeremi could have imagined, so does a level of danger that could be the end of them and their friends. Can they figure out the truth before they’re both committed? 

Review
 
Lovers of dramatic/romantic thrillers will adore this novel! 
It took a while for me to like the main characters, but as the story progressed they grew on me. Trista and Jeremi, (with a long “i”), have an unusual relationship that immediately piqued my curiosity.  Although I figured out the crux of the story quickly, the rest is so excitingly unpredictable, I could not stop reading.  Kemp’s writing style will keep you on your toes!
The author has done an excellent job of creating an extraordinarily unusual story that wraps up nicely in the end.

Excerpt Love and Lust in the Tropics by Derrick West 


She knew their time was very short, and she knew this was the end. She had to have him close to her just one more time. To feel the fire of his passion envelop them, wrap itself around her, become one with her. To feel the heat of him inside her, the warm explosion of his desire filling her.
He felt it too. Pressing her back, he lifted her up on the edge of the table in the cabin, lifting her skirts as she parted her legs for him. Their ship rocked with the explosion of their cannons firing on their pursuers as he pressed himself into her. Their eyes locked together, drawing their souls into each other as she drew his hard desire into her. The fire of passion burst within her, their eyes blazing into each other as they were rocked by a climax they knew would be their last in this lifetime.
Their eyes remain locked as their lips were drawn together.
“My God, you know how to love me, Leif! Never again in this lifetime will we get to feel our love so closely and so wonderfully.”
“Not in this lifetime, dear woman; this is the end of this chapter, isn’t it?”
“But just this chapter, darling man. In our next lifetime, let’s not be pirates. Let’s be respectable people. Let’s settle down and raise a proper family. Maybe a house and a garden.”
He looked deeply into her soul, his eyes soft now with tempered passion. His lips lingered close to hers as he spoke softly. “And could you live a domesticated life, dear woman? Your heart and soul are wild and free, and you know as much as I do how much you adore running full sail before the wind, fighting the damnable overlords who oppress anyone they can, just to feed their greedy need for bloody profits. It’s what you live for.”

“I don’t know, Leif. All I know is that this love we have is something bigger than we understand, and we need to be sure and find each other again next time, and try and get this right. I want more than a few years with you next time. I want a lifetime with you.”

Angelina Ellsworth once believed in love—before she discovered her husband of mere hours was a slave-trader and already married. To avoid the scandal and disgrace, she escapes to her aunt and uncle’s, the Duke and Duchess of Waterford. When Angelina learns she is with child, she vows she’ll never trust a man again. 
A privileged English lord. 
Flynn, Earl of Luxmoore, led an enchanted life until his father committed suicide after losing everything to Waterford in a wager. Stripped of all but his title, Flynn is thrust into the role of marquis as well as provider for his disabled sister and invalid mother. Unable to pay his father’s astronomical gambling loss, Flynn must choose between social or financial ruin. 

When the duke suggests he’ll forgive the debt if Flynn marries his niece, Flynn accepts the duke’s proposal.

Can Flynn and Angelina find happiness and love in a marriage neither wanted, or is the chasm between them insurmountable? 

Review

This is a quick, romantic read that starts off a little erratic and then evens out to reveal a beautiful story.

I love the main hero, here. He’s intelligent, compassionate, and strong. He’s better tempered than most Scotsmen in the fictitious world during this era, and his love of family enhances his character. I say “main” hero because there’s a few secondary characters that go to bat for our enchanting couple, earning them the title as well.


Although the heroine is naive, she is intelligent. I like the fact that the author makes her easily relatable, as we’ve all had our momentary lapse of reason when we were young. As with the hero, there are a couple of women that could claim the title of heroine in this story.

With That Being Said…

I have to mention that although I enjoyed the story, there were a few times that I felt a little overwhelmed. There is so much unneeded drama! The story turns more than a carousel, and there are several side stories that may play out in the rest of the series, but seem unnecessary in this book. I was a little disappointed and felt there was a lack of focus, which is surprising for such an outstanding author.

On The Other Hand..

In the author’s defense, I haven’t read all of her previous novels. Although this novel is the beginning of a new series, it includes a few couples that are obviously from former stories. However; this does not take away from the current story completely. If anything, it adds intrigue, and makes me want to grab the rest of her writings! I’ve been following her for some time, and I know that her extensive knowledge of the Regency era is extraordinary. This knowledge is one of the reasons I adore her so, and I enjoy the way she utilizes it through her novels. 
I recommend this for those who love drama, laughter, love, and heartbreak!
