CAPTURE REVIEW


SYNOPSIS

Losing your ability to speak at the age of seventeen; it’s not normal or fair. 
But trauma, has a way of throwing normality out the window. 

Dani lives anything but a normal life. 
Her sister is married to one of the biggest names in Hollywood. 
Her best friends are rockstar duo AD2.
And she has more love around her than most people experience in a lifetime. 
But that doesn't change the fact their parents are dead. 
Or that it's her fault. 

It seems her new normal is being a mute, living on the inside, unable to actually communicate on the outside. 
That is until Hollywood’s newest heartthrob Lincoln Greene hires her as his assistant for the summer. 
He's gorgeous, completely unavailable, and unobtainable.
But that doesn't stop her from wondering...if things were different...would he want her?
If she was whole, would he be the other half? 

MY THOUGHTS

This is a standalone in a new series, it is a spin off to the seaside series. This time they are filming a movie in seaside and AD2 are doing the soundtrack.  
 
I loved this book it had the fun and tense moments like the original series the fun and lovable characters are all back. To see Jay now and how he is with his sister in law the big protective brother, to how he was before the ladies man and flirt. This was a brilliant first book to a new series and I can't wait to read more. Rachel is a amazing author and she never fails to amaze, she truly is a amazing story teller. All her books take you another place that make you not want to leave. i absolutely loved the cover it was seriously hot, Rachel and her hubby Nate make beautiful  models.

EXCERPT 
“Finally!” Jaymeson pointed at both of us. “Lincoln, show her to her mark. Dani, for this scene you’re simply staring at him like you want to eat him. Think you can do that?”
I nodded.
Any woman could do that.
Most men too.
“Cue music!” Jaymeson called out. “Action.”
A techno mix of AD2’s latest song filled the air as the extras started dancing around us. I stayed glued to the wall while Lincoln delivered his lines to Pris, and then he lifted his head, meeting my gaze.
It’s just a movie. It’s just a movie.
The breath left my chest on one slow exhale as he moved toward me, his body making fluid purposeful movements through the crowd.
My lips parted; my entire body felt heavy as he approached.
He stopped in front of me, his forehead grazing mine as he leaned in a few inches. Our breath mingled as the music and scene faded around me.
“Cut!” Jaymeson yelled.
Holy crap on a cracker. I almost experienced my first stroke — at seventeen.
“You okay?” Lincoln’s eyebrows knit together in concern.
I licked the lipstick from my lips and nodded quickly.
Jaymeson approached. “Time for the kiss, remember kissing, not hockey. Clearly, you were confused earlier.”
Lincoln gritted his teeth and let out a little groan.
I patted his arm and grinned, my way of encouraging him. He seemed to pale more.
My stomach sank.
Maybe it was me.
I was the problem.
Not the kiss, but me. If he’d had trouble kissing my gorgeous sister, how was he going to be able to kiss me?
“Hey…” Lincoln cupped my cheek. “… focus on me, nothing else, alright? It’s only us.”
I nodded.
“You ever been to a party?”
I rolled my eyes.
“Ever made out with a guy at a party that wasn’t your boyfriend?”
I thought about it then slowly shook my head.
“So that’s what this scene is about. It’s about a guy seeing a girl from across the room and wanting her so badly that he’s willing to cheat on his own girlfriend for just one taste. Granted, he’s supposedly drunk and high, but that just takes the romance out of it, doesn’t it?”
He released my cheek and stepped back. “Imagine you’re trying to attract me, make your body as inviting as possible. Hell, just stand there and look at me, and you’ll sell it.”
Sell it. I repeated the words in my mind.
I could do that.
Because I wanted him to kiss me.
It made my heart beat faster.
My blood pump harder.
And for the first time since my parents’ death, I was actually excited about something. Nervous, but excited.
“Okay,” I mouthed.
I must have surprised him again because his eyes darkened, and then he grinned. “One day, Dani. One day I’m going to hear my name coming from that gorgeous mouth of yours, and I’m not going to be held responsible for my actions… damn the consequences.”
My breath hitched.
“Quiet on set! And action!”
There was no warning. Suddenly, Lincoln’s mouth was fused against mine, no teeth, just his soft lips pushing, prodding, moving slowly back and forth until his tongue slid through and made contact with mine.
Heart racing, I opened my mouth enough to deepen the kiss as heat washed over me.
He groaned and dug his fingers into my shoulders then slid his hands down my back and gripped my butt. I let out a squeak of surprise as I flicked his tongue with mine.
“Cut!” Jaymeson yelled.
I kept kissing.
So did Lincoln.
His chest brushed roughly against mine; my breasts ached at the sharp contact. I let out a little hiss at the exact time Linc let out a groan and nudged his knee between my legs.
“Cut!” Jaymeson yelled again.
Slowly, Lincoln pried himself away from me, chest heaving.
“Good enough,” said Jaymeson.
“No,” Lincoln argued without taking his wild grey eyes off me, “I went off script. We need to do it again.”
“The hell you do,” someone mumbled. I wasn’t surprised to see Demetri glaring daggers at Lincoln’s back. Alec was next to Jaymeson, giving him an earful. I noted the strong tick in his jaw.
“Fine.” Jaymeson waved them both off. “We’ll do it again.”
“Take two, and action!”
This time the kiss was slow, languid in its movements. Hot waves of pleasure coursed through my body as his tongue slid seductively pass my lips. His taste, the feel of his mouth was unlike anything I’d ever experienced. Greedily, I moaned, desperate for more of him as I reached for his shirt then fisting it with my hands and tugging him tighter against my body, wanting more contact with him. I felt every plane of muscle as he slowly turned us so his back was semi facing the camera. His knee nudged my legs apart as pressure increased down the middle of my body. I hadn’t really looked long at the script, but I was pretty sure that this wasn’t part of it.
Not that I was complaining.
He rocked into me, my back connected with the wall. With a possessive growl, he nipped my lower lip then started kissing down my neck. Kissing in public had never been my thing — but maybe that was because I’d never kissed Lincoln.
I would kiss him anywhere.
All he needed to do was ask.
Body humming with pleasure, I let out a little gasp as his warm lips met the pulse on my neck. Then his tongue licked where his lips had just been.
His knee rose higher and higher as my body sank onto his; the first contact of his leg had my body screaming with pleasure — just a little higher, just a little more.
“Cut!” someone shouted, though it didn’t sound like Jaymeson.
Suddenly, Demetri was pulling Lincoln away from me and glaring daggers at both of us. “I think you guys got the scene.”
Embarrassed, I looked down, tucking my silky hair behind my ear. Did I really almost just dry hump Lincoln Greene’s leg? In front of about twenty people, including my sister?
“You sure?” Lincoln asked, voice hoarse. I glanced up at him, his chest was heaving with exertion, his lips swollen. “Because I could have sworn I messed up my lines.”
“There are no lines, you bastard,” Demetri muttered under his breath.
“Damn it!” Jaymeson shouted. “Hey, guys, I’m going to need you to shoot it one more time. Remember, Lincoln, you’re supposed to proposition her.”
Lincoln grinned smugly at Demetri.
Demetri didn’t move.

Illyria Brant

AUTHOR INTERVIEW
WITH



Please welcome new author the lovely Illyria Brent.

 Hello Illyria, how are you today?

 I'm doing great! Just another day of editing for me!

Tell us a little about yourself?

 Along with being a writer, i am an English Teacher in NYC. They say that the best writers are the ones that "read read read", and that is certainly true for me! I'm an avid reader. My love for writing developed at a young age, when i fell in love with the written world. Reading and writing are my two favorite hobbies! When I'm not reading or writing, i enjoy watching action movies, martial arts movies, romance, romantic comedies, and comedies. I'm an animal lover, and have 3 pet parrots. I enjoy socializing with my friends, readers, and followers on Facebook and Twitter.  And a "fun fact" about myself is that i am named after a mysterious land called "Illyria" from Shakespeare's play the "Twelfth Night".



 What is your favourite movie?

 I have so many favorites! I love "The Notebook, Twilight, Fifty Shades of Grey, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, When Harry Met Sally, Dirty Dancing, Pretty Woman, The Princess Bride, A Walk to Remember, Bridget Jones's Diary, etc." As you can see, i love movies lol. I can never just pick one favorite book, or one favorite movie.

What is your favourite colour?

 Cerulean blue is my favorite color.



 What star sign are you?

 I'm a Leo.

Are you a action, horror or Romance movie type of girl?

 I would say I'm a Romance and Action movie
 type of gal.



What is your ring tone on your phone? 

The basic iPhone ringtone.

What do your family  think about you writing and have they read any of your work?

 My family is very supportive of my writing, but since i write steamy love scenes, they prefer not to read those parts! lol.

Are you any good in the kitchen and what is your specialty?

 I love cooking different types of pasta dishes. Italian food is my favourite.



What is your favourite  food?

 I love Pizza and Pasta.

What is the most  romantic thing a man has done for you?

 He's taken me to see the beautiful night sky in Upstate New York. Afterwards, as we said goodnight, i closed my door, and leaned against it, completely blown away by how sweet he was, only to hear a knock at the door 40 seconds later. As i opened the door, it was him! He leaned in and said "I love you". He'd come back just to say that one more time!



 There is a lot of BDSM books out now have you ever read any ?

 Of course! Fifty Shades of Grey is one of my favorites. I've also read the "Hacker Series" by Meredith Wild.

 If you were allowed one sex toy for rest of your sexual adventures which would it be and why? 

My sex toy would be the character Jamie Fraser from the TV show "Outlander" ;)

Are the stories old ones you have saved or new? 

My Romance novel, "Love's Siren Call (Book 1)" is a new story. It is an original work that i have just written within the past few months.

What is your favourite genre to write?

 Romance is my favorite genre to write.

Which  one of you're books was your  favorite  to write?

 I would say that "Love's Siren Call (Book 1)" was my favorite to write. It felt good to get the story out into written form! It practically burst out of me.



When and why did you begin writing?

 I began writing in elementary school. It came naturally to me. I started writing short stories and poetry. Eventually, i started filling up spiral notebooks with stories that i came up with as a child. My love for writing only grew with age. I dabbled in many different genres of writing, but Romance is the genre i have always been drawn to. Writing is just a part of me. I am happiest when i am writing.



When did you first consider yourself a writer? 

As long as one writes, they are a writer. So i considered myself a writer since i was in Junior High.

 What inspired you to write your first book?

 I had a dream several years ago, in college. A very romantic dream. I had this dream many times, and i could not ignore it any longer. I simply had to turn it into a book! This dream inspired me to write my first book (Love's Siren Call).

 Do you have a specific writing style?

 I don't have any specific writing style. I write what comes to me, and try to be as truthful as i can to the human condition.

which lead character  is your personal  favourite  and why?

 My favorite character from my novel "Love's Siren Call" is Aariya. She has a strong will and sticks up for what she believes in, despite all her insecurities. She is determined to make it in the legal world!

 If you could pick one of your books to be made into a movie which one would you choose and why?

 "Love's Siren Call" is my first novel. It also happens to be my debut novel. It would make a great movie. The reader and viewer can relate to my characters in their struggles throughout the book. It is a perfect blend of drama and romance that will leave you on the edge of your seat wanting to know what happens next!

 Who would you cast for the movie?

 I would cast Ian Somerhalder as my lead male character, with his intense blue eyes and dark brown hair. I would cast a half Indian and half Causcasian actress to play my lead actress. The actress would need to have hazel eyes, as that is the color of my main character's eyes. Kristin Kreuk has the perfect eye color for my character.

What was your favorite  book as a child?

 The "Goosebumps" series.

 How did you come up with the title?

 Love is something that we can never resist. It is like a Siren call, luring us into its clutches. Taking a-hold of us. I often think of Greek mythology. The Sirens were these beautiful creatures that lured great men with their alluring and hypnotic voices. This concept gave me inspiration for my title. We can't fight falling in love. No matter how hard we try!

 How much of the book is realistic?

 I tried to keep the whole book grounded and realistic, so that my readers could relate, and yet i added a perfect blend of romance.

 Are experiences based on someone you know, or events in your own life?

 No, my novel is a complete work of fiction.

 Have you ever binned a book when half way through thinking it wasn't  good enough? 

Yes! there are many books that i started, and then saved them on my laptop thinking they were not good enough. I hope to eventually get back to them! Us writers are our own worst critics!

What books have most influenced your life most?

 Every novel I've ever read has influenced me. From Jane Eyre, to Shakespeare, to Fifty Shades of Grey!

 If you had to choose, which writer would you consider a mentor?

 Bella Andre is one of my favorite Romance authors. In fact, I've had the pleasure of speaking to her several times on Facebook and Twitter (under a different pen-name). Bella is down to earth and friendly. She always takes the time to talk to me. When i was first embarking on my journey in writing my novel "Love's Siren Call", i asked her for some advice. She told me to write what i love, and the rest would fall into place. And then she said "You've got this". I really appreciated her advice, and did just that. I wrote what i loved!

 What book are you reading now?

 I am currently reading "Grey" by E.L. James, and "Pucked" by Helena Hunting.

 Are there any new authors that have grasped your interest?

 Yes! i like J.S. Cooper.

 What are your current projects?

 I'm currently in the process of creating an author website for myself. I'm also brain-storming ideas for the next book (Book 2)  in my "Love's Siren Call" series.

 Who is your favorite author and what is it that really strikes you about their work?

 My favorite author is Bella Andre. She has great story lines, that really suck the reader in. We also fall in love with her characters.

 Who designed the covers?

 The cover for my debut novel has yet to be made. My novel is currently in with my editor.

 What was the hardest part of writing your book? 

The editing is always the hardest part of writing. It is also the most time consuming.

 Do you have any advice for other writers?

 Yes! try to write at least 1 page a day. Even if you are busy with a day job, or a parent, etc., writing 1 page a day will eventually add up to a complete book in no time! Stay consistent.

Do you have anything specific that you want to say to your readers?

 I want to say THANK YOU for all your support. I appreciate and love you all!


What do you like to do to keep fit?

 I like exercising on the elliptical.

 What do you like to do when your not busy working and writing?

 In my down time, i enjoy reading, going out to eat, going to the movies, and spending time with my family and friends. I recently went white water rafting with my friends! and am going on a dinner cruise next month!


 Are you a car or motorbike kind of girl?

 I'm a car kind of girl.

 Where do you see you self in ten years time?

 In ten years, I see myself still teaching English, and having published many romance novels. I see myself as a well-known romance author!

TCoaMS cover 2.jpg
Synopsis
An honest, intimate and engaging true story of a moon-lighting male stripper that will stimulate desire and passion in every woman.


Jake Butler is not your ordinary every day corporate gentleman.


Born in London, and now living in Sydney, he has juggled the demands of a high profile business role with evenings spent moonlighting as a male stripper / naked waiter for the last 12 years, maintaining his anonymity throughout.


Only a handful of people could attest to knowing both the man in the suit, and the naked xxx rated stripper - that is, until now.


True Confessions of a Male Stripper is a candid and in-depth expose of Jake's experiences, thoughts and feelings.


In the most transparent way, his revelations shed light on what really goes on at his parties - the women, his services and more.


Never a man to hold back on exploring his own fantasies and kinks, his account will enthral, shock, amuse and leave you wishing you had seen it all with your own eyes.

Author Bio
I was born in London and moved to Sydney about 11 years ago. I’m a corporate professional by day, dealing with some hugely high profile clients. I have been moonlighting as a male stripper/naked waiter for around 12 years. In terms of my writing, I’m very new indeed, having been encouraged to start by one of the very few people who know both sides of ‘Jake’. She told me that my stories needed to be shared, and pushed me until I started to blog. None of this would have happened without her support and sometimes not so subtle art of persuasion.


I literally started writing about two or three months ago, blogging initially and now writing. Things have gone insanely crazy in the last three or four weeks. I’m astounded by the level of interest that there appears to be in my stories and am working very hard on my first book right now.


My book will naturally be titled ‘True Confessions of a Male Stripper’. My aim is to be totally honest and as transparent as I can be about my life as a male stripper. I want to be entertaining whilst strictly charting a course of validity, honesty and openness. I’m delighted to say that at this stage of the process, I have not strayed from those initial, founding principles (and have no intentions of doing so down the track).

James W Snootz



AUTHOR INTERVIEW
WITH 



PLEASE WELCOME THE LOVELY JAMES W SNOOTZ

Hi James are you today?

 Excellent as always...I am rarely having a bad day or in a bad mood. 

Tell us a little about yourself? 

 I am generally a very laid back go with the flow type of person. I enjoy spending time with my large family there are 8 of us including my lovely awesome wife, and our six boys. They are always keeping us busy and on the go, I do also work at many other side projects besides just writing. I am one of those people who likes to do things full out and always give it 100% all the time. 



What is your favourite movie?


 So many to difficult to pick just one. I would say any Bruce Lee movies, Tin Cup, The Matrix, Many Zombie Movies. 

What is your favourite colour?

 Green

What star sign are you? 

Scorpio 

Are you a action or Romance type of man? 

Both...hopefully the right kind of action leads to some romance. 

What is your ring tone on your phone? 

No idea...but its nothing fancy. I am one of the few tech nerds who love my Amazon Fire Phone. No one ever calls me. 

What do your family  think about you writing and have they read any of your work? 

My wife reads some of my work and supports me fully. I really keep my writing life separate from my family life for the most part because of my young children. 

Are you any good in the kitchen and what is your speciality?

 Depends on who you ask I guess. My wife does not trust me to make much, but I can cook. I make a mean Chili also yum!

What is your favourite  food?

 Chili, Tacos, Hamburgers, Fries...all kinds of potatoes formed into fries. Baked in the oven, Fried in Grease, Steak, McD's,Wendys Fries...I love them all. 

What is the most  romantic thing you have done for a lady?

 Probably when I proposed to my wife...in front of 5,000 people and the Blue Man Group. 

Are the stories old ones you have saved or new?

 Always new...the stories from my past were written just for me, and while I may incorporate an idea here or there from them never the main concepts. 

What is your favourite  genre to write? 

Sci-fi & Paranormal, Anything with no limitations. 

You have  written  variety of different  types of books,  which book was your  favorite  to write?

 Vhamps was just so easy to write, I literally sat down and poured out the entire book in about two weeks. 

When and why did you begin writing? 

Age 10 I thought I could be a writer, I had some earlier works published in small publications throughout my schooling years...and then realized I could never make any money at it. 

When did you first consider yourself a writer? 

When someone actually bought a book from me and then still wanted to read another one. 



What inspired you to write your first book? 

My wife suggested people might actually like my writing and while I am still surprised by this as usual she was right. 

Do you have a specific writing style? 

I have several different types, some people have said I ramble like Stephen King...and honor I am not worthy of, but I liked one reader who called it "casual, fun, and like having a chat with a bunch of old friends." 

Who was the easiest character to write for and why and  hardest and why?

 Gavin from Swinging in Paradise because he is most like me, I have a hard time writing the sneaky characters the most, because I am a very honest and open person. 

which lead character  is your personal  favourite  and why? Probably

If you could pick one of your books to be made into a movie which one would you choose  and why? Probably the Paradise series into a reality tv show. It would be epic and oh so hot. Vhamps would make a better movie. 


What was your favorite  book as a child?

 John Grisham, Stephen King and Mark Twain. 

How did you come up with the title?

 My titles usually come from just random thoughts that pop into my head, and then the book follows with a beginning concept, a middle sentence, and the ending. 

How much of the book is realistic?

 I feel all books should have some realistic elements in them, even if they are fiction. I hope the reader wonders the same thing when they are done. 

Are experiences based on someone you know, or events in your own life?

 Definitely try to incorporate aspects of my own life somewhere in each book, sometimes other people I know are parts of characters as well. I enjoy mixing in parts of real life because to me it makes the story that much more important and relatable to the reader. 

Have you ever binned a book when half way through thinking it wasn't  good enough? 

I wrote a lot in my youth, and 95% of it no one besides me ever saw it or ever will. It was my way of calming my mind, and not meant for public consumption. 

What books have most influenced your life most?

 George RR Martins Game of Thrones, and not because I can write that type of thing, but because he isnt afraid to do it his own way. Same with Stephen King. Elle Casey because she is a book machine and I love her style. Aria Michaels Killshot because while YA isn't my normal genre it was so powerful I couldn't put it down. 

If you had to choose, which writer would you consider a mentor?

 Secretly Stephen King since I was old enough to read, I was reading IT and The Shinning and was way to young, but to feel and hear the way a story could be told, there was just no one better. 

What book are you reading now? 

Hmmm. I am currently reading Black House by Stephen King and Peter Straub

Are there any new authors that have grasped your interest?

 Aria Michaels for sure, there are many great new authors out there. Keith Anderson, J.F. Silver. I also love Elle Casey, Kristen Ashley. 

What are your current projects?

 Currently I have at least 15 works in progress, but only 3 or 4 that I am religiously working on. The next two books in the Paradise Series will be coming out close together this Fall. Snowing in Paradise the Denver Novella and then Surrendering in Paradise the 2nd book of the series.Plus I am working on a new series called Confessions, which hopefully will help your work days better no matter your job. Plus I am preparing to hopefully knock out Vhamps Vol. 2 as fast as the first one.  

Do you recall how your interest in writing originated?

 I was a weird and super nerdy kid. I used to read encyclopedias for fun. I thought it was good reading. I started writing to help keep my mind focused, not that my stories were ever very focused. I used it as an outlet to deal with my own social and intellectual differences with the rest of the "regular" world. 

Can you share a little of your current work with us? 

Happy to share a snippet from Snowing in Paradise with you this is copyrighted work by J.W. Snootz 2015. Warning Graphic Content 18+!!

“Baby I think Hether wants us to join, what do you think?” I asked Gavin who I just realized was engrossed in watching the tall golden boy fucking the tiny thing from behind. While he stared into the eyes of the also young and built dark haired woman on the towel beside the hot tub. “Baby? Gavin!” I snapped my fingers in front of his face, and then he finally broke his stare.

“Sorry, yes let’s definitely join Hether and Steve…. but mostly as a gateway drug don’t you think?” He said softly in my ear as we stood and made a slow walk over to where Hether was pushing Steve out of the water and up onto the side of the hot tub. He now sat exposed as she squeezed his balls hard he groaned and she licked at his head while looking up at me as if to say please help. I was happy to, I pushed Steve down and pulled him all the way onto the cool pavement, I flung, my bottoms off and into the hot tub and kneeled down. Placing my already very wet pussy onto Steve’s outstretched tongue, I told him “fuck my pussy Steve.”

Is there anything you find particularly challenging in 
your writing?

 Finding the time to get more of it done is really the only problem I have. 
Who designed the covers?

 The brilliant and beautiful Kari Ayasha! 



Do you have any advice for other writers? 

Dont' be afraid to take break, I know so many people say just force yourself to write as much as possible. For me that doesnt work. I need breaks to keep the story fresh and flowing. I like to write 10k words and then take a few days off and let the story rebuild in my mind and then do it again. Just find a system that works for you and let's you write the best way that fits your life. There is no particular best way to do it. 

Do you have anything specific that you want to say
 to your readers?

 I love you! All of you! Even the ones who hate my work or maybe never plan to even read it! I love you because you read, and reading is awesome and needs to continue if we plan to survive as a species, on this planet or any other. 

Do you have any funny quirks or stories you would like  to tell us about yourself? 

Ha the list is too long to talk about. I have OCD and I usually eat orange tic tacs when I write. I can fit most of my entire book notes on one or two big post it notes. 

What do you like to do to keep fit? 

Golf, Work out, Walk, I get crazy when I am in fitness mode...and my gut says I should be back in the mode ASAP! 

What do you like to do when your not busy working
 and writing? 

Fish, relax, read, listen to music, soak in the hot tub, hang out with great friends, travel. 

Where do you see you self in ten years time? 

Traveling and writing full time! 

Thank you for  joining  me today you have been awesome. 

Anytime anyone wants to listen to me babble on about anything in the world I am always game! Especially politics!
