Paloma's Monthly Reads... @SamTowleWrites @KresleyCole

I didn't have much time for reading this month. Most of what I read was on audible. Though there were few, the books I had time for were good ones. I traveled from Nebraska to Russia and then to London and LA. These books will take you around the world. Enjoy!

I've been reading several rocker romances. The Storm by Samantha Towle is the latest series I read. Only book one and two are available now -both on audible too- and it was nice to be able to read them one after the other. The story line was unique which was nice since the rock star theme is everywhere right now.

The Mighty Storm (The Storm #1)

It's been twelve years since Tru Bennett last saw Jake Wethers, her former best friend and boy she once loved. Jake Wethers, sexy, tattooed and deliciously bad lead singer, and brains behind The Mighty Storm, one of the biggest bands in the world, left Tru with a broken heart when he moved from England to America with his family when they were both fourteen.

Sent to interview Jake for her music column by the magazine she works for, they are both unprepared for the sparks that fly the instant they reconnect. Only, there’s a complication to their instant feelings for one another—Will, Tru’s boyfriend of two years. 

Then Jake makes Tru a job offer she can't refuse—travelling the world with him and his band. But taking the job means leaving Will behind, and being on the road with the band means spending an inordinate amount of time with Jake. Is Tru strong enough to resist the delectable bad boy who once held her heart so completely, or will she willingly risk it all for one night with the world's most notorious womanizer?

Wethering the Storm (The Storm #2)

Music journalist Tru Bennett has done the impossible: capture the heart of rock-star bad boy Jake Wethers. Now they’re busy planning a wedding and navigating their new life together in the US. Of course Tru misses London and her best friend, Simone, but living happily ever after with Jake in LA is going to be great…right?

Wrong. Even the bright California sun can’t whitewash the dark side of celebrity coupledom. Greedy music execs, merciless paparazzi, and Jake’s wild past are lurking around every corner. Making matters worse, Jake announces he doesn’t want kids, which just may be a deal breaker. 


Tru loves Jake more than anything. But when a devastating crisis threatens to destroy everything they’ve fought for, the couple must face the hard truth: What if, this time, love is not enough?

Then I also read Kresley Cole's new erotic romance serial, The Professional. I'm glad I waited to read them until they were all available because I was so hooked on the story, I wanted to keep reading as each part ended. This could very well be the steamiest, best written erotic sstory I've read. I'm pretty sure my toes curled several times as I listened to the narrator on the audible version.

The Professional (The Game Maker #1.1-1.3)
This is the first installment in Kresley Cole’s Game Maker series, an erotic story collection.

He makes the rules…
Mafiya enforcer Aleksei “The Siberian” Sevastyan’s loyalty to his boss knows no bounds, until he meets the boss’s long-lost daughter, a curvy, feisty redhead who haunts his mind and heats his blood like no other. Ordered to protect her, Aleksei will do anything to possess her as well—on his own wicked terms.

Rules are made to be broken…
Grad student Natalie Porter had barely recovered from her first sight of the dark and breathtaking Sevastyan before the professional enforcer whisks her away to Russia, thrusting her into a world of extreme wealth and wanton pleasures. Every day under his protection leads her deeper under his masterful spell.

Are you ready to play?
Yet all is not as it seems. To remove Natalie from an enemy’s reach, Sevastyan spirits her into hiding. From an opulent palace in Russia to the decadent playgrounds of the mega-wealthy in Paris, the two lovers will discover that even their darkest—and most forbidden—fantasies can come true…

So, what are you Reading? Any good books to recommend?
