FINDING US #1
add-to-goodreads-button31
Synopsis
Tate & Low's story.
I'm loud, I'm proud, and I like to bust balls in my spare time. At least, that's what Low Parker would do. But, she is just a mask, one that I have perfected over years of running. I am Willow Knoxx. Master of deception, secrets, and lies. I am the girl your mother told you to stay away from, and the girl your father fantasized about. I have been running for years, always looking over my shoulder. Now, the mask that I have perfected is about to disappear, and everything I have done to keep myself hidden is about to be revealed.

FINDING US TEASER #6
Excerpt
"Ahh, liquid heaven." I sighed, inhaling the rich aroma from my coffee cup. The scent alone loosened my tense muscles, taking the edge off the monstrous hangover I was still nursing.
"Two skinny lattes!" Jared hollered to absolutely no one, the glint in his eyes told me he knew I was dealing with a hangover from hell. His voice sounded like a high pitch shrill, ringing into my ears and playing my brain like a freaking drum kit. I really should lay off the Tequila.
"Jared, dude, lower the freaking volume would ya?!" I groaned, slowly rubbing my temples, trying to alleviate the throb that had now taken over my delicate head.
Jared's laughing eyes meet mine as he slid the lattes across the counter in a drink carrier. "Late night?" He chuckled.
Now, if my head didn't feel like it was about to roll off my shoulders and land into a poor unassuming strangers lap, I would’ve probably slapped that stupid smile off his face. Jared Spencer was the hottest piece of ass on campus; dirty blonde hair that was long in the front and short at the back, deep blue eyes that instantly pulled you in, and let’s not forget the rocking hot body underneath his apron. But, there was a downside... he's gay. I'm not talking a little gay, I mean thrust your hip out, pout like a model, gay. Such a shame.
"Just because you can swallow margaritas like water, doesn't mean the rest of us can you know." I said, raising my brow.
Placing his hand on his hip, he thrust it out to the side dramatically. "Girl, that's not the only thing I can swallow like wat-"
"La, la , la, la! I can't hear you!" I shouted, cutting him off as I picked up the coffees and made a run for the door.
"Don't hate the player, girlfriend!"

Mine to Crave by Cynthia Eden

Mine to Crave (Mine, #4)Mine to Crave by Cynthia Eden
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

New York Times best-selling author Cynthia Eden continues her dark and sexy “Mine” romantic suspense series with…MINE TO CRAVE.

HE TAKES WHAT HE WANTS.

From the moment that billionaire casino owner Drake Archer sees Jasmine Bennett, he’s obsessed. Consumed by desire for the mysterious redhead, Drake will do anything necessary to claim her. Yet as desire rages between them, danger is stalking ever closer. Drake’s past isn’t dead, and the ex-Special Forces agent will soon have to face the ghosts he left behind.

SHE’S HIDING SECRETS.

Jasmine isn’t who she pretends to be. She’s a woman on a mission—and she’s supposed to be stealing secrets from the mysterious Drake. Falling for him isn’t on her agenda, but when lust and love tangle together, all the rules get broken.

AN ENEMY IS CLOSING IN…

When Drake learns of Jasmine’s betrayal…all hell breaks loose. He knows that he should turn his back on her, but it’s too late for him. He can’t let her go, but he can teach her a lesson. No one betrays him…not without paying a heavy price. Drake will destroy all of the enemies on his trail, he’ll bury his past, and he’ll teach Jasmine to want only him…just as much as he craves her.

Dying to Survive by Scott Hildreth

Dying to SurviveDying to Survive by Scott Hildreth
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

CAUTION* This book has scenes describing the abduction, rape, murder, and torture of living people. It is NOT over the top. It has one questionable scene. And, it is a mind fuck. A psychological trip down a path that you have no idea where you're headed. 

Additionally, there are descriptive scenes of sex, not all of which is consensual. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. 

A woman is abducted and placed into a room with three other women, all of which resemble her. Confused, scared, lonely, and in constant fear, she waits. The abductor, after a few days, opens the door and explains the following to the group of women, “Tomorrow morning, at eight am, one of you will forfeit your life to save the other three. If one person isn’t willing to die, everyone will die.” 

Ryan Capshaw was raised at the hand of an abusive father, and grew up believing he was worthless. To prove his intelligence and self-worth to himself, he has devised a plan to abduct, torture, and murder four women. One of the women, however, decides to challenge his intent - causing him to reconsider his plan.

This twisting, turning, and ever changing plot will keep you flipping pages until you finally reach the unbelievable ending. When you think you have it figured out, brace yourself, you're DEAD wrong. 

“Dying to Survive”, takes an in-depth and very erotic look through the lives of the characters, as well as the the psychological aspect of abduction, murder, and living as an adult after an abusive childhood. 

Prepare for a trip that will leave you guessing, wondering, and contemplating how you would react, think, and prepare to either die, or be a survivor.




About this author

I love to tell my story. In doing so, however, I do not follow any rules. I do things my way, always.

My experiences in life make me a very diverse writer, and my books are a reflection of that diversity.

I have a different style, unique prose, and always write with the intent of having an underlying story, meaning, or point that I need to drive home.

My prose has been described by readers/reviewers as:

"refreshing"

"unique and remarkable style"

"seamless, eloquent, emotional, raw, and is true art of writing"

Yet others complain....

I do not intend nor do I attempt to please everyone. I always walk away from a story pleased that I have accomplished my goal.

I hope that you enjoy what I have written. Please make no assumptions about what it may be, and always read my synopsis before reading a writing...just to be certain it is what you're expecting if you do.




My Review

What a read, this was an intense read and I really didnt see the ending coming. Although there is a warning to this book, I have however read worse.
If you want a read that will keep you hooked then this is for you

Book Trailer: One To Keep By Tia Louise

 WARNING: Recommended for adult readers (18+) only! Mature themes, strong language, and sexual content... 

LOTS of sexual content. Patrick is a naughty boy until he meets Elaine. So there's the warning--if you keep reading, please relax and have fun! (It's meant to be fun. *wink*)


There's a new guy in town... 

"Patrick Knight, single, retired Guard-turned private investigator. I was a closer. A deal maker. I looked clients in the eye and told them I’d get their shit done. And I did..."

Patrick doesn't do "nice."
At least, not anymore.

After his fiance cheats, he follows up with a one-night stand and a disastrous office hook-up. His business partner (Derek Alexander) sends him to the desert to get his head straight--and clean up the mess.

While there, Patrick meets Elaine, and blistering sparks fly, but she's not looking for any guy. Or a long-distance relationship. 

Patrick's ready to do anything to keep her, but just when it seems he’s changed her mind, the skeletons from his past life start coming back.

Standalone, M/F, HEA(less)

The Color of Angels' Souls: A Novel by Sophie Audouin-Mamikonian


The Color of Angels' Souls: A Novel by Sophie Audouin-Mamikonian
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

At twenty-three, Jeremy is violently murdered. Now, as an Angel, Jeremy realizes that his struggle for survival is far from over. Angels feed off of human emotions, and, as Jeremy is shocked to discover, Angels must in fact provoke the emotions of hatred, love, joy, sadness, fear, and compassion. Since Angels are invisible to humans, they can influence people’s feelings without ever being detected. Only the strongest of sentiments—whether positive or negative—can satisfy an Angel’s appetite.

As Jeremy tries to find out why he was killed, he follows Allison, a beautiful twenty-year-old who witnessed his murder. Watching her day and night, Jeremy begins to fall in love with Allison. But Jeremy’s killer is also following Allison and will do anything to eliminate the only witness to his crime.

Both moving and original, The Color of Angels’ Souls is a uniquely captivating fantasy novel.

Blind Wolf: The Complete 4-Book Boxed Set by Aubrey Rose

Blind Wolf: The Complete 4-Book Boxed SetBlind Wolf: The Complete 4-Book Boxed Set by Aubrey Rose
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Description

#1 Shifter Romance Bestseller! 
The complete collection of werewolf shifter romance stories in the bestselling Blind Wolf series now includes all four books:

Blind Wolf
Perfect Mate
Human Shifter
Alpha's Child

Julia has never been on a date in her life. She's a curvy girl with no money, no education, and no way out of the town she works in as a library assistant... until Damien shows up. He's just like the prince charming Julia always imagined would sweep her off of her feet. There are just a few things standing in the way of true happiness: he's blind, he's dating someone, and he's WAY out of her league.

Oh, and he's a werewolf.

Damien lost his eyes two years ago in a wolf battle. Ever since then, the straggler pack of disabled wolves he leads has been searching for a place to call home. One house seems like the perfect choice, but Damien realizes too late that the person who lives there is the girl he met at the library. The human girl. Damien is torn between loyalty to his pack and raw lusting desire for the girl who haunts his dreams day and night. 

She's a human. How could she be his true mate?
***

From NYTimes and USA Today Bestselling author Aubrey Rose comes a new shifter romance boxed set that's as hot and wild as anything! This werewolf shifter BBW romance collection is over 100,000 words long, has some naughty language, and a lot of naughty sex. Be warned!

EXCERPT:

She stood up and so did he. He held out his hand and she pressed his palm in a handshake. Without letting himself hesitate, and buoyed by her warm response to his jokes, Damien raised her hand to his lips and pressed a kiss onto her fingers.

It was a mistake. The connection between them before that moment had been tenuous, if intense. He could feel the separation between her emotion and his, and could untangle them if he needed to. Now, though, with his lips against her skin, he sensed the passage between them open up, widen, and take over his mind. He could no longer tell the difference between a feeling coming from his own mind or hers, and her thoughts reverberated through him.


Not just emotions, this time, as he had sensed before. The emotions were there, to be sure: desire, curiosity, and a hint of fear. But his lips fell apart slightly and he breathed in a sharp breath as he now heard clearly the words that she was thinking:

...the one. He's the one. It's him...
