Crow’s Row – Synopsis

For college student Emily Sheppard, the thought of spending a summer alone in New York is much more preferable than spending it in France with her parents. Just completing her freshman year at Callister University, Emily faces a quiet summer in the city slums, supporting herself by working at the campus library.

During one of her jogs through the nearby cemetery while visiting her brother Bill’s grave, Emily witnesses a brutal killing—and then she blacks out. When Emily regains consciousness, she realizes she’s been kidnapped by a young crime boss and his gang. She is hurled into a secret underworld, wondering why she is still alive and for how long.

Held captive in rural Vermont, she tries to make sense of her situation and what it means. While uncovering secrets about her brother and his untimely death, Emily falls in love with her very rich and very dangerous captor, twenty- six-year-old Cameron. She understands it’s a forbidden love and one that won’t allow her to return to her previous life. But love may not be enough to save Emily when no one even knows she is missing.

Scare Crow – Synopsis

Nineteen-year-old Emily Sheppard is losing her sanity. Ever since her mob king boyfriend, Cameron Hillard, abandoned her for her own good, Emmy has been attempting to move on with her charmed college student life as if nothing happened. Now rejected from the underworld and left grieving over Cameron’s alleged death, Emmy realizes she belongs nowhere. Worse yet, she is now keeping a dangerous secret.

After just a short time with Emily, Cameron has lost control over his world. As he miserably attempts to return to what is left of his life and unravel the mess he has made of the underworld, Emily’s hate turns to desperation. She needs to kill the kingpins responsible for Cameron’s death before they come looking for her. As Cameron secretly observes Emily, he has no idea of the danger he has placed her in—or that it may already be too late for him to save her.

Scare Crow is a tale of revenge, terror, and love as Emmy and Cameron embark on separate journeys to face enemies, correct past mistakes, and find their way to their destinies.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

The up-and-coming matchmaking agency Kinnections is the hottest thing to hit Verily, New York—just like Kennedy Ashe, social director for the service she owns with her two best girlfriends. A coach, consultant, and cheerleader rolled into one super-sizzling package, Kennedy creates dream dates, encourages singles to shine, and never refuses a challenge—not even Nate Ellison Raymond Dunkle, rocket scientist, nerd extraordinaire, and Kennedy’s newest client.

Kennedy vows to work her magic and transform this hot mess in a lab coat with a disastrous relationship track record into the most wanted man on the Verily dating scene. If only she could turn the wand on herself . . .

Though she radiates confidence and sex appeal, Kennedy harbors deep-seated insecurities from a tormented past and lifelong struggle with weight issues. When she realizes she and Nate are cut from the same cloth and might be perfect together, can Kennedy learn to let her heart lead the way? Or will her fears sentence her to the sidelines as Nate finds love—with someone else?

My Review


I received this book in exchange for a honest review

This is the next instalment of this series
Again this book was engaging to the point where I didn't want to put it down until I had finished it.

It is well written, heart wrenching but also heart fulfilling. It takes a topic that can happen in the real world of addiction, loss & guilt and open your eyes to each persons situation and how that come through it.

Loved this book and I love this author.

COVER REVEAL Therapist by Jaden Wilkes

Blurb:

I am a sociopath.

I know this because I diagnosed myself.

I have a PhD in Clinical Psychology from a very prestigious university.

I am charming, attractive, and you probably want to sleep with me.

I take what I want, when I want, and I enjoy picking the most tragic of all my patients to experiment with.

I have no remorse, I am unrelenting in my pursuit of tragedy, and I am about to meet my match.

Her name is not important, I am only allowed to call her Mistress. She is a femme fatale, a patient, and now an obsession.

She will destroy me, I will do anything to get inside of her.

I can already feel her inside of me.

Excerpt One

“Oh no, you didn't!”  I say, smearing mud on the side of his face.

“I did!”  His voice is deep and it is anything but playful. It's filled with heat and desire.

I am secretly reveling in the fact that even though I’m covered in mud he finds me sexy.  He is laying on top of me and I can feel his hard body pressed against mine.

“Hi.”  I say as I bite the bottom of my lip, slowly dragging my teeth over the front.

“Hi.”   A smile and a softness in his eyes welcome me as his lips descend again.  His tongue circles mine and a warmth spreads through my body, clearly leaving a blush on my cheeks.

The kiss deepens and I bring my hand up to the back of his head.  Mud covers his hair, thick gobs fall onto my face and we kiss even harder.  I attempt to lift my knees and part my legs even though the heavy mud is making it difficult.  I press my body into him as much as I can, moaning into the kiss because the pleasure from just the kiss alone is enough to send me over the edge. He slows the kiss and pulls away.

“Woman, the things you do to me.”  

“Me? You know how turned on you have me?”

“I want nothing more than to take you.  You got me so fucking worked up watching you have fun all day like this and then here in the mud. But I’m not taking you for the first time knee deep in the mud.”

Okay, I guess I see his point there.

“When I take you, and I will take you, it’s going to be in a bed, where I can worship you.”  He kisses my ear.  “Taste you.” His hand caresses my breast.  “And claim every inch of that sweet pussy.”

My Review

This is definitely a series you have to buy.

I received a copy of this book as a gift in exchange for an honest review.

Once I opened the first page I couldn't stop reading, both John boy and Kendall are such complicated characters and had you reading right to end to see the outcome of the story.

These books are one of my favourite reads and Im on constant wait for the next instalment.

Please Kathryn don't make me wait long for the next book

Blue Rose by Sarah Daltry
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

“Four. My life has been shaped by four people. Four men, to be more specific. My father, my stepfather, my best friend, and my boyfriend. The first two shaped it in horrible ways, but what I am, who I am, is all because of four men.”

Alana Reardon has secrets. Some of them are too dark to tell, but everyone already thinks they know anyhow. At 20, she takes too many pills, hides the parts of her that she hates, and willingly becomes the person that they think she is. A slut. A whore. Trash.
There have only been two guys who ever saw Alana as more: Jack, the guy she can’t get over, and Dave, the one who never got over her.

With the help of therapy, facing her past, and the inevitable ways that life changes without your permission, can Alana learn to stop blaming herself? Can she allow love into her life? Is she ready to move on?

Warning: This book deals with topics of abuse and may trigger reactions in people who have experienced those things in their own lives.

Lily of the Valley by Sarah Daltry

Lily of the Valley by Sarah Daltry
My rating: 5 of 5 stars


This isn't a sweet and innocent coming of age story. If dirty talk, bedroom toys, and threesomes offend you... this is not your book. There are also no billionaires, strippers, or virgins. This is just the story of typical college kids trying to connect to each other. "No one tells you about pain. They tell you that it hurts, that sometimes it's consuming. What they don't tell you is that it's not the pain that can kill you. It's the uncomfortable numbness that follows, the weakness in your body when you realize your lungs may stop taking in air and you just can't exert enough energy to care. It's the way taste and color and smell fade from the world and all you're left with is a sepia print of misery. That's when the shift starts - the movement from passive to active. I fall asleep, hoping that the morning will bring back the pain. At least the pain is a thing." Plagued by a dark past, Jack sees college as a way out. Desperate to escape the area where he grew up, the people who know his secrets, and his own family, he deals with his problems through alcohol and meaningless sex. When he first sees Lily, she's the epitome of everything he hates. Yet something about her makes Jack rethink everything he knows and assumes about other people. Now, with the help of his best friend and lover, Jack has to decide if he wants to pursue something that he knows will only end badly. Can Lily be one of the few people who can see Jack for who he really is - or will his darkness be too much for her to handle?
