Description
Meet the Naughty Princess Club: a brand new series from USA Today bestselling author Tara Sivec that introduces readers to Fairytale Lane and the hilarity—and romance—that ensue when three women start a new business to make it rain.

Once upon a time Cynthia was the perfect housewife. Between being the President of the PTA and keeping her home spotless without a hair (or her pearls) out of place, her life was a dream come true. Her husband was once her knight in shining armor, but now he’s run off with all their money…and the babysitter.

Dressed as a princess at the annual Halloween block party on Fairytale Lane, she meets two other “princesses” also facing money troubles: antique store owner Ariel and librarian Isabelle. When the women are invited to wear their costumes to a party where they’re mistaken for strippers, Cindy, Ariel, and Belle realize that a career change could be the best way to make their money problems go bippity-boppity-boo.

But can structured Cindy approach a stripper pole without sanitizing wipes? And could the blue-eyed anti-prince that has been crossing her path become Cindy’s happily ever after? At the Stroke of Midnight is a hilarious, empowering story where princesses can save themselves while slaying in stilettos.

Title: Secret Lucidity
Author: E.K. Blair
Genre: Student/Teacher Forbidden Romance
Release Date: February 26, 2018



Blurb

This wasn’t supposed to happen.
But it did.
This wasn’t supposed to be my life.
But it was.

I was just a typical girl, living a typical life. Nothing was out of the ordinary until tragedy threw me into a turnstile I couldn’t see my way out of. That was, until him.

I never could’ve imagined my heart falling the way it did. Hard, fast, and with unbounding beauty.

The only problem?
He was off limits.
Forbidden.

But he became my everything, and I became his, so we risked it all. It was only a matter of time until I realized that our risk came with unimaginable consequences.

My name is Camellia Hale and his is David Andrews, and this is our love story.

Review

This is a captivating, unique, and heartbreaking story that caught me from the first page. It's the love story of Camellia (Cam) and David.

In its first pages we meet Cam, the typical teenager, with excellent notes, daddys girl, with a bright future and with a boyfriend who is his neighbor and knows for many years. But in one night everything changes and goes from being the lucky and envied girl to suffering in silence and feeling trapped by her pain.

David is the Cam English teacher, and swimming coach, obviously as a teacher and coach they can not get involved romantically, but he is the only one who is strong enough to help her overcome her pain and suffering, while she struggles to find herself again. She finds in David a support, the only person with whom she can open up and fight with her pain. Slowly their relationship goes from professional, to sexual and sentimental.

The story is exceptional, raw, hard, painful, it took me for a roller coaster of emotions that completely fell in love with, David is a too beautiful hero and I fell at his feet.

I take my hat off to  the author, I have read many stories by her, and they are always captivating, this was no exception, she uses her skills and makes you fall in love with this incredible story, a masterpiece, with the prohibited aspect masterfully developed.

Definitely super recommended for those who love dramatic stories as much as I do, a painful and heartbreaking journey, which catches you from the start. You do not want to miss it.

SYNOPSIS
I'm a world famous tattoo artist with a six month waiting list. Everybody's begging me to put my ink on them. I'm the hottest shit in L.A., and can get any girl I want. So the last thing I expect is for Ash Carter to walk into my shop and blow me off.
I've spent the last seven years screwing half the women in the northern hemisphere, but nobody could come close to the girl I left behind. Ash was my world. But in order to protect her, I had to let her go. It was the biggest mistake of my life. And now I'll do anything to get her back.
It's been seven years since we last spoke. Seven long years of trying to ignore the memory of her skin, her eyes, her incredible confidence. She is everything I remember. Still stubborn and feisty and sexy as hell. They say you should forgive and forget. But Ash can never forget what I did. And I can never forgive myself.
She's left a permanent mark on my heart.
But even if she takes me back, will we be able to overcome the past? Will we be able to move forward towards our future?

Review

5 stars for this great story.
The author had me hooked from the first page, it was everything I expected and more.
In this story we meet Teo and Ash, two adolescents who fall in love but due to circumstances they separate and meet again years later when Ash goes to get a tattoo and is surprised because  the tattoo artist is Teo.
Ash is a beautiful girl who is a TV producer and wants to make a future on her own. Teo is a sexy guy, but like all the J.D.  male characters, I love them, because their internal monologues are great, they are complex characters that make you sigh, but their dialogues are always interesting.
After their first encounter, they meet again by fate or chance and from the first moment you feel the chemistry and the attraction between them. I loved the couple, their dialogues, their scenes, they are perfect for each other.
Various situations happen that trigger the drama and reveal stored secrets. At certain moments I wanted to hang Ash, and Teo, I fell completely in love with him, a sexy, intelligent and super sweet character.
The descriptions of the places and landscapes are always a plus in the stories of Mr. Hawkins. I love how he devotes his time to detailing places and things so vividly, that he transports me to them. Simply great.
The chemistry of the couple was exceptional. I loved it.
And the secondary characters were the perfect complement.
If you like romances of second chances this is the perfect one for you.

 

5 estrellas para esta gran historia.
El autor me tuvo enganchada desde la primera página, fue todo lo que esperaba y más.
En esta historia conocemos a Teo y Ash, dos jóvenes que se enamoran adolescentes pero por circunstancias se separan y se encuentran años después cuando Ash va a hacerse un tatuaje y se lleva la sorpresa que el tatuador es Teo.
Ash es una chica bella que es productora de TV y quiere hacerse un futuro por su cuenta. Teo es un chico sexy, pero como todos los personajes masculinos de J.D. me encantan porque sus monólogos internos son geniales, son personajes complejos que te hacen suspirar, pero sus diálogos siempre son interesantes.
Después de su primer encuentro, se vuelven a encontrar por el destino o la casualidad  y desde el primer instante se siente la química y la atracción entre ambos. Me encantó la pareja, sus diálogos, sus escenas, son perfectos uno para el otro.
Pasan diversas situaciones que desencadenan el drama y se ponen al descubierto secretos guardados. En ciertos momentos quise ahorcar a Ash, y Teo, caí completamente rendida a sus pies, un personaje sexy, inteligente y super dulce.
Las descripciones de los lugares y paisajes siempre son un plus en las historias del señor Hawkins. Me encanta como dedica su tiempo a detallar tan vívidamente lugares y cosas, que me transporta a ellos. Simplemente genial.
La química de la pareja fue excepcional. Me encantó.
Y los personajes secundarios fueron el complemento perfecto.
Si te gustan los romances de segundas oportunidades este es el perfecto para ti.

             
EXCERPT
“You want something to drink?” she calls from some other room.
“Sure. Something strong.”
“Vodka ok?”
“Always.”
I pace around the room a little, lust still pumping me full of adrenaline, taking in the details, stopping to study a Basquiat print above a bookcase. Flashbacks of conversations we had in her bed rushing through my mind, until she clinks some glasses behind me and I turn around.
“Here you go,” she says, handing me the glass.
I take it from her, sip slowly, but my eyes stay on hers—a living work of art even more captivating than what’s on the walls. The alcohol burns, hitting the spot, but I’m intoxicated enough by the room, by the smell, by her. She must sense it, because she breaks my gaze, eyelashes flickering away as she smiles down, but her coyness only ignites the fire building within me.
I put my drink down and throw her on the couch so I can gaze at those lush curves, trace my eyes down the length of that magnificent body.
I trace a finger around her ear, down her neck. She trembles like a leaf under my touch, skin cool with goosebumps. Her breath quickening, hot and heavy.
I climb on top of her and we devour each other’s mouths as I tug her pants off and she pulls her shirt over her head. We roll around on the couch, her hands squeezing my cock, my mouth sucking each nipple until her breath shudders, her fingers clawing down my back. I need to taste her.
I pull away, enjoying how she hisses with unresolved desire.
“Why are you stopping?” she asks, her voice tinged with desperation.
I growl, low and firm, “I’m not. I’m going to eat you.”
