Spliced By: Robin Leigh Miller (Read Excerpt) E-mail this product to a friend For ten years, Avery Easton has quietly lusted after her twin brother’s best friend, Ridge Gates. When the cruel, cold hand of fate takes her brother’s life, Avery and Ridge turn to each other in grief and share a night of ecstasy. But mind-blowing sex with the man of her dreams can’t push away Avery’s reality.   Violent and terrifying events have followed her brother’s body home and introduced Avery to another man…one who’s willing to give her everything she needs. And then there’s the secret she harbors that could tear her and Ridge apart even as it connects them for the rest of their lives.   A promise on the battlefield led Ridge straight into the arms of the woman he knows he has no business being with, but can’t stay away from. If he fails to come to terms with his broken body and Avery’s revelations, he could lose her forever—if not to another man, then to the violence that brought Ridge and Avery together. A Romantica® erotic romance from Ellora’s Cave   Quantity:

Patricia on 1/26/2012, said: Wow--one of the best books I've read in a long time. I don't think I've ever cried while reading erotica. This book had it all--I'll definitely be reading this over and over. Would like more from this author! Was this comment helpful? yes no   (0 people found this comment helpful, 0 did not) 2. Danielle on 1/18/2012, said: The review that follows is a partial review. To read the full review, please visit: http://tbqspersonalbookpalace.blogspot.com/2012/01/nor-review-spliced.html WARNING - The reading of this book will cause some side effects, including, but not limited to: crying, screaming (both in pain and pleasure), sighing, laughing, and, most importantly, the overwhelming need to sneak off for some “alone time” and take care of all the built up...tension Be warned—it's probably best not to read Spliced in public, unless you wish to be asked by random strangers why you are sweating, panting, and crossing your legs! (Not that I would know...) Avary Easton has a secret—well, okay two. First, she has a special connection with her twin brother, Cale that allows her to feel what he's feeling, as well as send and receives simple thoughts. Her other secret? She's in love with Cale's best friend, Ridge—and has been for the last 10 years, though he doesn't seem to see it. Ridge Gates is a grunt, a mere soldier fighting for his country. But as honorable as his job is, in his mind he will never be good enough for the one woman he wants—Avary. From the moment he met her, he's wanted her—and not just for a one-night stand either, which scares the hell out of him. But she's his buddy's sister, and therefore off limits, not to mention the fact that she deserves better. He would give anything to be good enough to claim her, but instead he keeps his distance. That is until one night in Dover. After a mission goes south, leaving Ridge broken (mentally and physically) and Cale dead, Avary needs someone to turn to—and the only one she has is Ridge. Finally, after a decade of unfulfilled wanting, the two come together in a night of scorching passion, bringing each other the comfort they need as well as the pleasure they've desired. Upon waking the next morning, Avary finds herself alone in the hotel room. Ridge, unable to deal with his nightmares from the day of the bombing—and his guilt over not being good enough for Avary—leaves during the night, even though the only thing he wants to do is stay with Avary and never let her go. Avary can't deal with the loss; she's just buried her only family, her beloved brother, and now she's been pushed aside by the one man (she thought) she had in her life: Ridge. After the best sex in her life, nonetheless! A woman, no matter how strong she is, can only take so much, and this proves to be too much. She refuses to fall for Ridge again. She may love him, heart and soul, but until he can handle it and stay by her side when she needs him the most, she isn't going to put her heart on the line…Again. Nope, she may sleep with him (in the dressing room of a store, in the shower, against the wall...) but she won't beg him to stay. As if their tangled emotional relationship wasn't enough to contend with, there is someone after Avary. They won't stop until they find what they think she has—and they want her dead when it's over. Can Ridge push past his personal demons and prove to himself, and Avary, that he can be there for her? Or will he push her away instead...and risk losing her…Forever. Wow. I'm speechless—literally speechless. Spliced was, quite simply, one hell of a roller-coaster—and easily my favorite book of 2012. Maybe of all time—ever! Within the first few pages, I was hooked, and I couldn't walk away even if I had wanted to. And believe me: I didn't want to.

Terez on 12/20/2011, said: This book is awesome. It is well written and has suspence that keeps you turning the pages to find out what's gonna happen next. I hope a second book comes out featuring Kevin Stone, the cop. I would love to read his story. Was this comment helpful? yes no   (1 people found this comment helpful, 0 did not) 4. Kendra on 12/14/2011, said: I absolutely LOVE this book. It is a well-written, heart-wrenching romance with deep, believable characters. Ms. Miller weaves together descriptive, emotional scenes of war, loss, and grieving with scorching hot bedroom scenes between a protective, heroic alpha male and a strong, courageous heroine. Ms. Miller captured my attention and stole my heart by thoroughly grounding the characters in a wartime back-story and following Ridge and Avery through the military's honorific funeral ceremonies. As these characters suffered the loss of their friend and brother, I found myself emotionally invested in the story, crying at the thought of losing a loved one and appreciating the sacrifice that men and women in uniform so willingly give. As both stubborn, misguided, three-dimensional characters come to terms with their relationship, Ms. Miller gives the reader a hard-bodied, war-battered soldier with hidden sensitivities, a hot cop who incites jealousy in our soldier boy (hope this isn't the last we see of Stone), and a curvy leading lady who keeps her man coming back for more...and more! I'll definitely be reading this one again and looking forward to Ms. Miller's next romance. Now, if I could only find myself a soldier... :) Was this comment helpful? yes no   (1 people found this comment helpful, 0 did not) 5. Ashley on 12/12/2011, said: Put it this way, by page 25 I am bawling like a baby. By page 33 I have a smile on my face because you know its about to HOT. And bam! Next thing I know I'm on here giving the book 5 stars and I am still in the process of reading it! Its just that good. Ok I'm back! I just finished the book. Could not put it away. Thank you Robin for a very long night. This book is worth of the 5 star rating. The emotion and realism captured within these pages are worth every penny. Just make sure you have a box of tissue next to you! You will need them. That or my pms is just making me very emotional lol.

Stone gets a story. Was this comment helpful? yes no   (2 people found this comment helpful, 0 did not) 7. Stephanie on 12/11/2011, said: A tortured hero, a strong heroine, and angst galore what's not to love about this book? The red hot chemistry between Avery and Ridge was just icing on the cake. And while paranormal romances aren't my usual favorite the paranormal elements in this book really enhanced the story. Definitely recommend.
