**Bt & Giveaway** Separation ~ Stylo Fantome

separation blog tour banner


Can the Devil be Forgiven?

Everything is fun and games till someone gets hurt, and what Jameson Kane did to Tatum O'Shea goes so far beyond hurt, he is well into the realm of unforgivable. Tate says she wants him gone for good, and he quickly learns that the old saying, “you don't know what you've got till it's gone”, is most definitely true.

But Jameson has never been very good at following instructions, and when Satan decides to seek redemption, he'll go to great lengths to get it. He proposes one last game – one to end them all, if she agrees to play. He is very confident that he can win, but Tate warns him that's not possible; she will not lose again. Little does she know, Jameson is prepared to do whatever it takes. Prepared to lay the entire world at her feet. Prepared to bear his soul.

What he didn't count on, though, was handing the damn thing over.

Now he can only pray that his evil ways haven't rubbed off on Tate too much. Sometimes, it's very difficult to tell who the Devil really is …

WARNING: contains a semi-reformed devil, a woman scorned, and more Sanders than anyone has a right to witness. Also graphic sexual situations and strong language.


It's not often that I find a book series that leaves me speechless, scared, disgusted, yet I can't stop TURNING THE DAMN PAGES!!!!!!!! 

What the hell is Stylo Fantome doing to me? There's so much in this series that is screwed up, there's so much that is so damn sexy. No matter what you're feeling as you're reading it, you can not stop turning the page to find out what happens next. 

Honestly that's about all I can say about this series. I think of it, I think of all the amazing things I want to say about it, and I just go back to "Holy Shit what did I just read"

Thank you Stylo for blowing my mind. 
I was given an ARC for an honest review. Honest is always what you will get from me: good, bad, or in-between.

Oh, Please tell me you have read Degradation (The Kane Trilogy #1)! If you haven’t you can find the synopsis and Jennifer’s and my review here for that book:

http://turnthepagebookreviews.blogspot.com/2014/09/ReviewDegradationStyloFantomeKatrinaCWJenniferFL.html

We loved that book but now we are reviewing the second one and now you get my thoughts on this amazing book.

Sanders *sigh* we learn so much more about this amazing character. What makes him tick and how he and Jameson met and why they are so close. We also understand his feelings toward Tatum and why he loves her as a friend in his own special way, and why he wants the best for her and will do anything he thinks is in her best interest, even if she can’t see it at-the-moment.

Tatum has come out of her ordeal of alcohol and xanax overdose from her fight with Jameson totally another person. She no longer dresses as she used to; she dresses more like her sister: plan, drab and not sexy at all. She won’t drink, but now she has a new habit: smoking.

Somehow between Sanders and Jameson, Tatum ends up having to face Jameson again even though she doesn’t want to and all hell breaks loose for awhile. This is one of these books where, I hate to say this, but I just cannot say too much. This book is a must read to get the whole twisted love story…is it love or a game?

Stylo writes one hell-of-a story. Where she comes up with this stuff, I don’t know, but “I’ll have what she’s having.” Whatever, she is drinking, I want! Maybe, I need to move further north! Is the air cleaner there? Okay, I am digressing…

If you are looking for a book with loads of sex, this isn’t it, but there are loads of sexual tension, and when they do have sex, “Katie bar the door!” You aren’t sure what will get broken, bruised or bitten However, there were a few tender moments as well…like I said…twisted, but also shaken and stirred.

Stylo is a brilliant writer. You will never be bored; however, you might lose a little sleep, because you won’t want to put this book down. I think I may have said that on her last book, but it fits here too. Stylo is bad for your sleep schedule. Even after putting the book down to try to sleep, trying to turn your brain off from the book, may be a problem…just a word of warning…like I said…brilliant writer.

There were just a few editing problems, normal to an indie author, but nothing major. I loved the book and it is one I HIGHLY recommend along with it’s sister book Degradation. I am waiting patiently for the last book in this series, Reparation. Great job, Stylo. Abso-fucking-lutely! ;) 5 Stars




Crazy woman living in an undisclosed location in Alaska (where the need for a creative mind is a necessity!), I have been writing since ..., forever? Yeah, that sounds about right. I have been told that I remind people of Lucille Ball - I also see shades of Jennifer Saunders, and Denis Leary. So basically, I laugh a lot, I'm clumsy a lot, and I say the F-word A LOT. I like dogs more than I like most people, and I don't trust anyone who doesn't drink. No, I do not live in an igloo, and no, the sun does not set for six months out of the year, there's your Alaska lesson for the day. I have mermaid hair - both a curse and a blessing - and most of the time I talk so fast, even I can't understand me. Yeah. I think that about sums me up.

**RDB & Giveaway** Deception ~ K.A. Robinson




Please note: This isn’t your typical love story. Things are messy. Characters aren’t always what they appear to be. Wrong decisions are made. If you’re not a fan of the darker side of love, this might not be the book for you. Read at your own risk.

I’m strong—or at least, I want to be. I try to be. Oh, how I’ve tried.
But life screwed me over. When I was at my weakest and lowest, desperate and alone, he found me.
Robert changed everything. He gave me everything.
He was every woman’s dream—rich, powerful, and charming. He made me forget the fact that he’s twenty-four years my senior.
He made me feel alive, and for the first time in my life, I was content.
Until I met Cooper—his son.
And Robert? He began to change.
I’m despicable. I know I am. I’m ashamed of what I want.

Things are never what they seem.

Greed.
Lust.
Lies.
Murder.

Deception.






"I have no idea what you’re talking about.” I whispered as I took a step back. My back hit the wall, but he continued to step closer. He stopped right in front of me and rested his hands on the wall next to my head so that he caged me in.

“You’re a terrible liar, Claire. Even now, you want me. Your pupils are dilated and your breathing is uneven. You know what I can do and you want it. You want to be the one on my bed with my head buried between your legs.” He leaned closer so that his lips touched my ear. “All you have to do is ask. I promise you’ll be screaming when I’m done with you.”

**CR** Alluring Surrender ~ Bayou Stix 5 ~ Skye Turner

Cruz Edwards is the talented drummer of Bayou Stix, the most famous rock band in the country. Behind his drum set, he’s a god. Playing is his escape from his tormented past. He’s a deeply tortured man and the scars of his conception and parentage run deep, so deep his friends worry that eventually he’ll sink into the abyss of his own making.

Tifanie Jeffries- Bellaforte is a fiercely strong woman. Her upbringing is the polar opposite of Cruz’s. She’s never wanted for anything and comes from one of the most influential families in Louisiana history. Her privileged upbringing smothered her and she’s worked harder than anyone to prove that she is capable of anything she sets her mind to. She is living proof that character and hard work are more important than a family name and wealth. She’s shunned her life of luxury and supports herself as a brilliant paramedic.

Other than being behind his drums, Cruz is used to hiding from the world and only allows his beloved momma and trusted group of friends a front row seat to his true self. Tifanie is used to getting what she wants, not because she feels entitled, but because she’s willing to work for it.

What happens when a strong woman who refuses to give up meets a man who’s only known despair?

What happens when the walls you’ve built around yourself are pulled down one by one?

What happens when the biggest challenge of your life is overcoming yourself?

Sometimes the things that prove you’re strong come from allowing yourself to surrender. 





Skye Turner is an avid reader and an editor turned writer.

She attended Southeastern Louisiana University and Louisiana State University where she majored in Mass Communications, centering her studies in Journalism. Unfortunately life intervened and she made the choice to leave her studies.

She lives in small town Louisiana with her husband, 2 children, and 4 fur babies.

When she's not chained to her laptop pounding out sexy stories she can usually be found playing Supermom, reading, gardening (playing in the dirt), listening to music and dancing like a fool, or catching up on her family oriented blog.

**CR** Vanishing Dreams ~ Devil's Bend 2 ~ Nicole Edwards


Vanishing Dreams (Devil's Bend #2)
Coming: October 21, 2014

Dalton Calhoun hadn’t always planned on a life up on the big stage, beneath the bright lights, but that was where he found himself. A second chance of sorts. An opportunity that had come along after his real dreams vanished when he was eighteen years old. Although country music was more than he could’ve expected, he’d never dismissed the notion that there was still something missing. 

When Dalton followed his buddy Cooper Krenshaw to Devil’s Bend, Texas, it didn’t take long before Dalton realized just what that was. But just because he has topped the country music charts, and made his fair share of women swoon, doesn’t mean that everything comes easy to him. And when he sets his sights on the black-haired, gray-eyed waitress at The Rusty Nail, Dalton realizes he might just have to work for what he wants. 

Katie Clarren’s life has been a series of unfortunate events, starting from the time her mother left on her eighteenth birthday. Not exactly how she had planned to spend one of the major turning points in her young life. Nor had she planned to spend the next five years dealing with the fallout. Somewhere along the way, Katie adapted, doing exactly what she needed to do in order to survive. But Katie has secrets that even her closest friends don’t know. Secrets she has worked hard to protect. 

Although she longs for handsome, charming, country music sensation, Dalton Calhoun, she knows that anything that starts between them can’t last. Too bad her heart doesn’t seem to be on the same page. Katie gives in to her love for Dalton, needing that human connection that has been missing for so long. But when it comes time to make the hard decisions, Katie forces herself to walk away from him. To protect her secrets, and him. The last thing she wants to do is hurt Dalton, no matter how much pain she has to endure in the process. She loves him. 

Can the two of them overcome the secrets and lies? Can they look to the future and stop living in the past? Or will they keep dwelling on the dreams that vanished, not seeing what is right in front of them? Each other.







New York Times bestselling author Nicole Edwards launched her professional writing career in July of 2012. Having been an avid reader all of her life and a huge fan of creative writing, it seemed the likely path for her to take. Since then, she has released fifteen books and has no plans to stop. As her full-time career/hobby, Nicole writes steamy contemporary and erotic romances.

Nicole is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author who was born and raised in Texas. Married with three kids and four dogs, she has plenty of interaction to keep her imagination brewing. Her books have been featured in USA Today’s Happy Ever After segment as well as Indie Reader’s best seller list. She has forged her way as an independent author.

Although she has a bachelor’s degree in Human Resources, she prefers to be hiding out in her writing cave, talking to the fictional characters that have built up in her head over the years.

When she isn’t writing or plotting her next book (sometimes translated to “playing on Facebook”), Nicole loves to read and spend time with her family and her dogs.
