ACED
ELLA FRANK BROOKE BLAINE
Release Date: July 11th
Genre: Contemporary Romance M/M
Blurb
Ace Locke is Hollywood’s hottest action hero. Women across the globe fling their panties in his direction, but Ace isn’t interested in those—he’s more of a boxer briefs kind of guy. Specifically, those of the nearly naked male model on a billboard he drives past every day.
Dylan Prescott just scored his biggest modeling campaign yet. One that has him plastered all over L.A. in not much more than what he was born with. And when he’s cast in Ace’s latest blockbuster, it puts him in close proximity to his ultimate fantasy.
Outwardly confident, Dylan has no problem with his sexuality or his pretty-boy looks, and uses both to his advantage to get what he wants. And what he wants is the impossible—Ace Locke.
From Ella Frank’s Sunset Cove series and Brooke Blaine’s L.A. Liaisons series comes a scorchingly hot novel that blends humor, passion, and romance. What happens when these two worlds collide?
Excerpt
“WAS THIS YOUR plan?” he asked, his voice low and husky. “Invite me
over…get me in your bedroom…”
My racing heart could’ve answered that
question for him it was beating so hard, and I almost wished it would, since being
this close had every thought fleeing my brain. Especially when he leaned in
like he was going to whisper in my ear, his words a silky breath across my
chin.
“What happens next?” Dylan fingered the
buckle of my belt, and I immediately reached down to still his hand.
“Hang on a second,” I said, and could
feel my chest tightening at what he was implying. Jesus, I wanted this
so bad, wanted him so bad, yet at the same time I was utterly terrified.
“No,” Dylan said, removing his hand
from mine. I caught my breath as he slid his finger over the buckle once again.
“Not this time. You have a nasty habit of starting things and never quite
finishing them, Ace Locke.”
His teasing tone made me want to kiss
the smirk off his face, but I was caught between all the things I wanted to do
and everything I’d always held myself back from.
“Kind of like yesterday in your car.
You corner me somewhere and then seem to think better of it.” As Dylan angled
his head to the side, he slipped his fingers behind the buckle and took a step
backward. “Why is that?”
His fingers had frozen in place, and I
knew if I wanted anything else beyond this to happen, I needed to say
something—and fast. So I said the first thing that came to mind: “Because you
make me fucking forget myself.”
Clearly that answer was more than okay
by the man whose fingers had now tightened around the top off my pants, because
Dylan continued moving backward, this time drawing me with him until his back
was against my bedroom wall and I was crowding him in.
“And this is a bad thing?” he asked,
and even in the darkness of the room I knew his eyes were on mine.
“No…” I said, and took in a shaky
breath before admitting, “It’s a dangerous thing.”
“So this”—Dylan pulled the end of my
belt from its loop—“would be too dangerous.”
I cursed under my breath as he tugged
my hips closer, and his other hand went to the side of my neck. His thumb
grazed my lower lip, and instantly it took me back to the first time I’d seen
him, seen that same thumb brushing against his lip, and I let out a soft moan.
“Just a taste,” he whispered, his head
angling toward mine. “That wouldn’t be too dangerous. Right?” He didn’t wait
for me to respond before his mouth skimmed the line of my jaw. As I held my
breath, he planted light, feathery kisses down my neck, and I had to put a hand
on the wall to steady myself.
“I think it’d be very fucking
dangerous,” I said, but I didn’t move away. No way in hell was I going
anywhere, no matter how many red flags were waving, telling me I was going too
far. I wanted this, wanted him, and only the devil himself could drag me away.
Dylan’s lips left my neck and he leaned
back to look me in the eye. “So stop me.”
I
shook my head. “No.”

Review
Holy M/M Hotness! Aced by Ella Frank and Brooke Blane was
a whole lot of yummy male goodness with a ton of sweet spots. There was also a lot of humor woven in—I want
Sunshine and Ziggy to adopt me, please???
I’ll be a good little daughter I promise. I loved the banter and playfulness between
Ace and Dylan, it kept me grinning.
Watching their journey was a lot like watching a firework, the slow burn
of the fuse up until the explosion. And
what an explosion! Ace and Dylan have
chemistry that leaps off the pages and spontaneously combusts panties.
There were deep parts too, the struggle Ace goes through on
being open with his relationship. He puts
up a front, being cocky in front of the paparazzi and the cameras and keeping
the insecurities hidden. Dylan, on the
other hand is more open and able to go with the flow, just one topic seems to
be off-limits. But both are utterly irresistible.
This book has a little something for everyone. Humor, sweet romance and steamy, hot sex. A quick warning, though, this is a cliffhanger. And I cannot wait to get my greedy little
hands on Locked. As in, I want it…and I
want it right freaking now. -Peace and Love, Buxom J

You could say Brooke Blaine was a book-a-holic from the time she knew how to read; she used to tell her mother that curling up with one at 4 a.m. before elementary school was her 'quiet time.'

Brooke enjoys writing sassy contemporary romance, whether in the form of comedy, suspense, or erotica. The latter has scarred her conservative Southern family for life, bless their hearts. If you'd like to get in touch with her, she's easy to find - just keep an ear out for the Rick Astley ringtone that's dominated her cell phone for ten years.
