Blurb: Look, she started it.
She issued me a challenge I couldn’t back down from. Make her purr like no man has done before.
Fine, she’s my business partner’s daughter. All right, I’m also working in the same damn practice with her. Yes, she happens to be my ex-fling. But that was seven years ago, and it was barely a week-long thing.
Except, Sloane is still the one I can’t stop thinking of -- brilliant, sexy, captivating Sloane. Maybe a week of taking her to new heights will get her out of my head.
So what if we spend a few nights on the town too? So what if I romance her across Manhattan? It’s all in the name of scientific pursuit of more magnificent Os.
Until the rules change…
 


Excerpt I meet Sloane’s gaze then go for it. Because this night has only one destination. “We should go to Tahiti.”
“Tonight?”
“Too long a flight?”
She lets go of my hand and holds up her thumb and forefinger. “Maybe a little. Not that I’m turning down a trip to Tahiti. Wait? Are you saying you want to take me to Tahiti? Because I can pack like that.”
Smiling, I slide my hand to her ass, squeezing. I whisper roughly in her ear, “I’m saying I’d like to escape with you. Like we’re getting away for the night. Let’s fuck away all this hot, wild desire.”
She exhales then goes quiet, perhaps lost in thought. “But I thought we were going to resist kissing.”
I brush the backs of my fingers along her jaw. “We already failed that test.”
She pouts. “I was supposed to be an un-vixen.”
“Didn’t work. You’re the opposite, and I want you so fucking much.” I press against her. “You have me so wound up. I’m pretty sure you’re wound up too.”
She pushes back. “You know I am. You know I want you too. That was never the issue.”
I have to get closer to her. I need to have her. “Let’s give in. Just once.” I slide my fingers into her hair, she leans her head against my palm, and I continue making my case. “I can take you places. I can make you feel extraordinary, like I’ve always wanted to.”
She hums. “You’re making it hard to say no.”
“True. I’m very hard to resist.”
A smile spreads across her face. “You are, Malone. You’re terribly, impossibly hard to resist.” She nibbles on her bottom lip. “One night. Our secret. What happens in Tahiti stays in Tahiti.”
“Absolutely,” I say as my dick high-fives me.
“And where is this alternate universe?”
I curl my fingers around her hip bone. “My place isn’t far. There’s also a hotel down the block. Either way, I intend to strip you naked, get my lips all over you, and make you feel as fucking good as you looked when you were watching me sing.”
She shudders. “I looked good when I was watching you? How so?”
I run my thumb over her hip, rubbing in slow, sensual circles. “You’re so seductive. You looked so incredibly alluring. You looked exactly as you are—the most beautiful woman I’ve ever met.” My fingers stray to her belly, gliding down the fabric of her dress toward my final destination. “And you and I have unfinished business.”
She leans her head back, and the most delicious moan ever recorded escapes her lips. When she raises her face, she tap-dances her fingers down my chest then runs them over the silk of my tie. “Are you saying we’re going to finish the business tonight?”
“Yes, and then tomorrow . . . we can be friends again.” The thought pains me, but I know this is the only way to deal with our reality.
“Exactly,” she says, nodding her agreement. “We take a trip tonight. We get away to a remote island. And tomorrow we go back to the real world?” She’s seriously considering this. Hell, I’ve already considered it six ways to Sunday in the span of ten seconds, and I say it’s a brilliant plan.
“Let me take care of you tonight. Let me spend the night worshipping your body and driving you wild with pleasure.”
“You say these things . . .”
I grin. “And?”
“And you make it impossible to walk away.” She grabs my tie and tugs my face inches from hers. “But what do you think my voice says?”
I want her to say it. The permission must come from her, and I’m dying for it. “You tell me.”
She brings her mouth to my ear and whispers, hot and sexy, “It says take me to Tahiti. Fuck me hard. Fuck me good. Fuck me senseless.”
That’s the only voice I’m listening to tonight.

Fearless by Sybil Bartel



Sybil Bartel does it again!
Ty is smoking hot & a complete badass!






Blurb:
Bodyguard.

Sniper.

Morally corrupt.

I didn't care who I aimed at. You paid me, I pulled the trigger. I sold my skills to the highest bidder and trust me, I had skills. The Marines didn't train me to only aim a sniper rifle, they taught me to get the job done—at any expense.

Except hostage recovery wasn't on my short list. I made people disappear, I didn't find them. I didn't give a shit the personal security firm that'd hired me was paying double to get some rich businessman's daughter back without casualties. I didn't negotiate with terrorists. Ever. I had my own plan. Take out anyone in my sights, recover the hostage, and get out. But then I laid eyes on the half-naked, bleeding brunette, and I changed my mind. I was gonna do a hell of a lot more than simply pull the trigger.

Now they were gonna find out how fearless a bodyguard could be.

*FEARLESS is a sexy new standalone book in the Alpha Bodyguard Series

The Alpha Bodyguard Series:

SCANDALOUS

MERCILESS

RECKLESS

RUTHLESS




Review:

First of all I just have to say HO-LY SHIT! That was one crazy intense ride! Sybil knows how to keep me on my toes. This entire book had me on the edge of my seat. I literally bit all the nails off of the hand that wasn't holding my kindle. Considering the last episode of GoT aired the day before I read this book that is saying a lot! All hail the queen of action packed books! Seriously this book was hands down her best yet. As far as the action goes I could totally see it being turned into one hell of an action flick! *clapping* Way to go Sybil, way to go!

As far as the love story of the book goes I'll be honest, I didn't see that coming. When we met Ty I'm sure I'm not the only one that had assumptions about him. He seemed very blood thirsty & a little unhinged. Then out of nowhere we find out he has a "son" that's deaf. I mean what?! We're left kind of scratching our heads & wondering wtf is up with this guy. Then we get Fearless & get to know Ty. Now I'm completely in love. It's a story of redemption in a way. A man who is broken from the things he has done in the past but wants to be better. A woman who has been sheltered & coddled her whole life who wants the chance to think for herself & make her own decisions. These two polar opposite people find each other, fight for each other & almost die for each other (several times). Their differences don't matter at the end of the day. All that matters is that they found what they were missing in themselves in each other. They found their other half & now they are both whole.

Favorite *Extra* Parts:

- I've said it before & I'll say it again. I love how interconnected all of SB's books are. The fact that we start out with a sort of Alpha Bodyguard reunion was awesome. Dreena & Tank are still all loved up & now Dreena is playing matchmaker.
- Myles Christiansen is back ladies! I am praying for more of him. He's always been the one I wondered about & have been (not so patiently) waiting for his story ever since No Apologies! Not only do we get one Christiansen but we get two! Neil is back & ready to kick some Cartel ass! 
- I don't think it's going to happen because I've seen the blurb for Callous but I could totally see Preston with Ty's sister. I mean he does know ASL!
- Okay am I the only one who while reading asks "When is Talon going to show up?" Then when he does I smile & say "Finally!" *winks* That man is all the heart eye emojis.

Favorite Quotes:

"You smoke?" she asked incredulously.
I blew smoke over her head because I was a fucking gentleman like that. "Only when I'm bored."
She made a face. "No one smokes anymore."
"Good thing I don't give a shit what other people do."

"Being near him was like simultaneously having your skin on fire and being dunked in ice water. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't been obsessively thinking about him since the very moment I'd laid eyes on him."

"If you could fall in love with the principles of a man whose moral compass was slightly off kilter, I fell in love with Ty."

"The scent of ocean, the faint taste of cigarette , the heat of man and musk, he smelled and tasted like perfect oblivion. I didn't relish it, I laid down and rolled in it, smothering every unbearable memory in his dominance."

Blurb:

Until the rules change…



Chapter Reveal:
“It’s been telling me that you and I are becoming friends,” I say, but my tone isn’t entirely friendly.

Her lips curve up. “Is that so? We’re friends?”

“Feels that way.” But it actually feels like we’re in Tahiti again. And tonight is its own separate night, apart from time and space and reason.

“It does feel that way,” she agrees softly. “Do you think we found that alternate universe you mentioned?”

I inch closer. “I’d like to spend a night in that alternate universe.”

She licks her lips. “Everything’s different there.”

“Nothing’s off-limits there.”

“Maybe that’s where we are.” The words come out a little husky, a lot sexy, and I know what’s changing.

The reminder of who she is, how we’re connected, isn’t keeping me away.
The barrier isn’t strong enough tonight.

No matter how much we talk.
No matter how hard we try to be friends or colleagues or business partners.
The wall can’t hold.

The kind of chemistry we have doesn’t disappear with the snap of your fingers or the flip of a switch.

Yes, I want this newfangled friendship. Yes, I want all our various business arrangements to go swimmingly. And tangoing with someone I work with in close quarters is all kinds of risky.

But hell, this woman and I, we have a lot of unfinished business.
And I want to finish it.
Tonight.

I set a hand on her leg, spreading my palm over the fabric covering her thigh. She trembles under my touch. “There’s something I’ve been wondering,” I say, my fingers playing with her dress.

Her voice is a feather. “What’s that?”

I don’t take my eyes off her. Traveling along her body, I wrap my hand around her hip, tightening my grip. The feel of her is intoxicating.

I’ve definitely had more than one drink. I’ve had a whole bottle.
And I want another.

I move my hand to her face, cupping her cheek, sliding my thumb over her lip. “I can’t stop wondering if you taste like champagne.”

Her eyes are etched with desire, blazing with heat. “Why don’t you find out?”

A voice says Do it.
It’s not a little voice. It’s not Truly’s voice.
It’s in my head, and it’s all mine.

And, honestly, it’s probably connected straight to my libido, since that voice has the tendency to override everything else in moments like this.

Like, for instance, good judgment.
Like warnings from business partners too.

I dip my face to hers, savoring every sliver of a second. Her glossy pink lips part the slightest bit, an invitation.

I take my time, because I want to experience every moment of kissing her again. I dust my thumb over the corner of her lips and seal my mouth to hers, capturing her kiss.

Seven long years unfurl. The moment on the street the other week was a mere snapshot. A five-second trailer to tease the audience, to leave them wanting more. This is the opening credits. The start of the whole story, unfolding on screen.

Her lips part, welcoming me. Roping her arms around my neck, she brings herself closer as I sweep my lips over hers.

Our mouths explore. Touching. Discovering. Tasting.

My brain goes hazy, and as I deepen the kiss, I’m nothing but sensations that overwhelm all else.

It’s sparklers waving, lighting up the darkened sky on a hot summer night.
It’s the exhilarating first dip of a sixty-mile-per-hour roller coaster.

It’s the first sip of a vintage Scotch. A taste that makes you moan. That makes your mouth water and crave so much more.

Kissing Sloane is everything good in the world. She tastes like champagne, and it goes to my head. Her hair smells like vanilla, and it floods my senses. I want to kiss her breathless. Yanking her closer, I grind against her, needing her to feel how much I want her. She groans as she clearly gets my message.

Then she sends her own message, wrapping her hands tighter around my neck. She’s fierce, kissing me harder, rougher.

It’s like past times and it’s like present times, because there’s a brand-new urgency between us.

My pulse spikes and my blood heats. It’s as if a clock is ticking. Hell, time’s speeding up, spinning faster.

I’m vaguely aware we’re in public.
But I don’t care because the woman I’ve wanted for years is rubbing against the outline of my cock. Her fingers dart to my hair, tugging. “Harder, more,” she pants.

Damn, those are two of my favorite words.

I give her a rough, demanding kiss, but soon she breaks it, taking a moment to breathe, to smooth her hair.

“So how are we doing as friends?” she asks, a naughty glint in her lovely brown eyes.

I need a second to recalibrate, since we just went from racing around the track to a leisurely drive.

“I’d say we’re great friends in our alternate universe.” I lower my face and kiss her neck, whispering, “If friends do this . . .”

Ruthless by Sybil Bartel


5 stars for Sybil Bartel & her Ruthless alpha!


Blurb: 

Bodyguard.

Protector.

Security Detail.

I wasn't supposed to join the Marines and serve three tours. I'd been groomed to be another kind of warrior. Since I could walk, I'd been primed to take over the family business. Build the real estate empire bigger, ruthlessly fight my way to the top—make everyone richer.

Instead, I'd enlisted. Wanting to protect my country, not a bank account, I'd turned my back on the family business and gave the Marines eight years. Now I was a bodyguard for the best personal security firm in the business, and life was perfectly uncomplicated... Until an innocent redhead smiled at me and destroyed everything.

Now she was about to find out how ruthless a bodyguard could be.

*RUTHLESS is the fourth standalone book in the Alpha Bodyguard Series.



Review: 

I can sing Sybil's praises all day when it comes to writing alphas that make you swoon. No joke every book they just get hotter & hotter but Sawyer oh my Sawyer. He is on another level. See I'll be honest, in the first book that we meet Sawyer I thought he was a straight up dick. I had a feeling he would get his own story so I tried to keep an open mind but it was tough. Then in Reckless (Tyler's story) I seriously started to love the guy. He is the perfect example of looking beneath the surface to see someone's true self. Sure he's rich beyond all belief but he truly doesn't care. He is who he is & his family doesn't define him. Now we also got to meet his lady love Genevieve in Reckless & you would never imagine that they would make a good couple but they do. Now I've said it before & I'll keep on saying it. Every time the heroine is a red head I immediately love her. No shame in supporting my fellow 5%. But the fact that Sawyer loves redheads? Yup I'm all in! 

This story follows them on an intense journey of dealing with car jackings, Florida gangs, car chases with TALON, hospital visits, shootouts, PTSD, uptight family,  & a whole lot of sexual tension. In short I couldn't put this book down for anything. I was that enthralled. SB really knows how to weave a tale & she did not disappoint with this one at all.



My Favorite Parts:

 - Meeting Preston & Ty. Seriously Preston may seem off but I am seriously digging him & his brain. Ty may seem unstable but that ASL conversation with his son? (swoon!)
- I seriously love how every girl Sybil writes has to get the Talon seal of approval & that car chase!!
- Marek... just... Marek *heart eyes*

- Under me, over me, on her knees, I didn't care. I'd imagined a hundred ways to take her, and all of them involved the same thing. Dominating the fuck out of her nervous energy and innocence.

- Nothing about her was anything I'd ever wanted or needed, but all I could think about was having her thick hair wrapped around my hand as I made her submit.

- Ty Smirked "Who knew? The billionaire does have a vice. His downfall?" He grinned and waited a beat like I was going to answer his bullshit question. "Redheads"

- "It's beautiful." I whisper-cried. 
His arms rested on his knees, his head turned toward me, he stared into my eyes like he knew every fear and regret that was eating me alive. 
I wanted to lean into him. I wanted to run away. I wanted his arms around me, and I wanted to forget I'd ever laid eyes on him. 
But when he spoke... 
"You're beautiful." 
I wanted my heart back.
