I have to find out who she is and why she is free and I am here locked away and used as a puppet, I need to know everyone I love is ok. Although my gut instinct is telling me I may already be too late.

CHAPTER 1 MORGAN
(PRESENT DAY)
Silence that’s all I hear, it’s dark and smells of stale piss, I’m sick of waking up in this place. I’ve been here for six years, six fucking years and no one has found me. Six fucking years of hating everyone for leaving me here, hating everyone who ignores my pleas for help. Six fucking years of nothing but his stale cigarette breath whispering into my ear telling me what he plans to do next, why no one will save me and how I am his and his alone. ! I curl up on the mattress that’s on the floor of my dark room, listening to every sound around me, I haven’t settled, I haven’t even let myself believe this is my end. I know someone is there waiting for me, coming to save me, I just don't know who and I don’t know when.

I’ve gone from the once shy and awkward young girl to a young women who fights back when times have gotten tough in here. There have been times when Harry really thought he could break me, but I’ve got stronger there was no other choice. It was tearing me apart all the emotional baggage I was dealing with, Harry is one nasty son of a bitch. ! Bailey has been here every step of the way and as much as I think he is a prick at times, there is just something about him that makes being here so much easier to deal with. Yeah it wasn't all plain sailing at first I’ve not gone completely mad, there were times I was ready to kick his arse. He wasn't happy he had to be my “baby-sitter” I swear I have never heard anyone moan as much as he did that first time. He glared at me all night sulking and mumbling to himself, as Harry’s son he didn't understand why he was being punished. Smiling to myself as I think of Bailey, that boy… No wait Man he’s all man. He would make the knickers of a Saint fall down and turn the most butch lesbian into a drooling school girl. ! There was one person I thought would get me out of here, but he left me three years ago. He promised I would have been out of here well before now. Promises are made to be broken I guess, sighing as I lay on my back and stare up at the ceiling. Both boys are on my mind tonight, I miss them dearly considering all the shit I’ve had to deal with in here.

They both have been there for me in some sort of way, one more than the other.

CHAPTER 3
HARRY
After that fucking email was sent to me I have been going crazy, I need to know what is going on before I make a complete twat out of myself. Andrew better hurry his fucking arse into this office before I go bat shit crazy around here, I’m just in the mood to pop a few people off. There’s a knock at the door, “Enter” I boom not really giving a shit about who it is or who might hear me. Every fucker around here better be on high alert with the bastard mood I’m in.
“Harry you called for me” a sniffling wreck that’s what he’s become…. He used to be one of the best men I had until he decided it was time he started drinking more and using more of my shit. “Yes, Andrew, have you found who we we’re looking for?”   “Yes, Boss, she's on her way here now…What would you like me to do when she arrives?” “Just bring her to my office and try to not let anyone else see her ok.” He nods and leaves the office, I am not waiting long before another knock hits my door. 
 “Er Harry, its Bailey I er… heard some shouting this morning and was wondering if everything is ok?”  “Yes, Bailey in fact come in I need to talk to you.” Well, this is going to be fun I already know he likes Summer but wouldn't do anything because Wyatt was in the way. Well, now it’s time to show him some truths.  “Ahh Bailey, I’m really glad you dropped by… How is Summer doing?”  “She’s feisty all right, I've never heard so much cussing come from a woman’s mouth before. Wanted to wash that mouth out with soap.” Chuckling I can believe what he is saying, that girl does have some sass for sure.  “Yeah I understand where you’re coming from, anyway the reason I have you in here is because when I give my order I would like you to bring her to me. Kicking and screaming if you have to. Do I make myself clear?”  “Aye Bossman whatever your heart desires.” I swear if he wasn't good at his job I’d put that smart mouth of his somewhere where it doesn't shine. It’s way too early for this shit.  “Good, I shall call for you when I am ready. I suppose she will be wanting a shower and some food?”
 “Couldn’t hurt either way I s’pose.” Nodding my head I contemplate where to go from here. It’s all going to kick off when the girls meet for the first time and I WILL be demanding answers. “You are free to leave” just like that he turns and leaves me to ponder my thoughts. How things got so messed up is beyond me, however I am coming all guns blazing and my rage roaring. No-one takes me for granted, no-one tries to pull the wool over my eyes. I am Harry Fucking King and my law is law. !

*** obsessed by books arc given for an honest review ***

this was a hard read read for me . Morgan goes through being kidnapped, tortured, raped for 6 years. Harry King is a evil man who lives on controlling people he loves and it doesn't matter if your family or the little people who works for him, he will cause you pain and suffering. that was his intentions with his nephew Wyatt. he wanted to teach him a lesson that you will always respect Harry and do what ever he ask you to which led to the kidnapping of morgan only thing was he thought she was summer whyatts girlfriend. no one should have to go through the emotional, physical and mentally abuse that she goes through and the strength she plus from to survive is unreal.

book 2 we see the death of harry and morgan and er sister summer are reunited all should be going good right, wrong especially when jealously pokes its head out. summer is so jealous of morgan and morgan can seem to understand why cause here she is trying to cope with bein kidnapped and rape and it was all done in the place of summer. summer takes things to the extreme and has her sister kidnapped and molested again. will morgan ever have peace in her life. 

By Emma Mistress of all Dark & Twisted

4 of 5 stars  ·  

The Mistaken series book 1 and 2 by Amy Beth is one hell of twisted read!! I was held captive by the pages from start to finish. Told from varying pov and with flashbacks to the past we get the tale of Morgan "once shy and awkward young girl(evolves) to a young woman who fights back..."

Morgan's safe world changes in an instant. Now she solely exists as a toy for a sinister, evil and corrupt man: Harry King. Kidnapped, beaten and raped for six years this is her personal story of survival. Harry King enforces his superiority through his minions and family by pain and suffering, this is how he stays Lord of his underworld crime network. Kidnapping Morgan was one of those moves but Morgan is the wrong girl. He believes she is Summer, his nephew's girlfriend. Wanting to teach Wyatt a lesson in respect and to bring him back in line Harry takes the girl to taunt and hurt Wyatt. Morgan is a pawn in this sick man's games and mentally, physically and psychologically hurt but somehow is strong enough to survive. She is determined to find out who Summer is and why she was mistaken as her. This drives her to keep going when many would have given up hope.

Morgan during her time there does discover two other people who make her time captive more tolerable Wyatt and Bailey both related to Harry King and when promises are made in your hours of need you believe them and trust people who maybe you shouldn't....Things take a turn for the worse when revelations are made and Harry realises maybe he made a mistake taking Morgan. Will Morgan be set free or will life just get even harder from now on???



Part two in this series and just when you think maybe life can improve for Morgan and the others Amy Beth changes everything. With Harry King dead everything will be better now, happiness, futures to plan and 6 years of life to reacquaint yourselves with, right??? Wrong.
Summer and Morgan are reunited and the sisters deal with the results of their paternity, each sister handles it differently and you get the feeling Summer isn't quite all she seems. She's jealous of Morgan and her reasons for her silence are not making sense. Morgan is angry at everyone, her captivity and her parentage and her sister, she doesn't understand why it happened to her. He life, family and kidnapping was all a mistake: she suffered for years for Summer and she never even fully understands the consequences of her actions and the repercussions it had on those around her.
Wyatt and Bailey don't fully trust Summer either "there is just something about her whole story that doesn't sit right with me." Muses Wyatt, their so right with their assumptions as their is nothing more vicious and malicious than sibling rivalry.

This time round the plot twists are more sinister and far reaching as one person's motives drives them to the point of madness. It's a journey back to hell for Morgan and will her knights be able to save her again or will their be more blood and tears shed this time??

Amy Beth has created a brilliant dark duology and with the added pov of Summer too we get the full version of events from each connected character. This is a fantastic debut and I can't wait for Wyatt's book next.

Review by Nadia Chief Obsessive Pimpette


~*~ Obsessed by Books arc given in exchange for an honest review ~*~

"once shy and awkward young girl to a young woman who fights back..."

Welcome to Morgan's world, she exists as a plaything for a vile corrupt man. Kidnapped, beaten and raped for six years this is her story of survival and escape. She is taken brutally out of the blue and wakes up in her new life a prisoner in Harry Kings warehouse. He is the top dog in an organised crime ring. Mason is the wrong girl he believes she is Summer, his nephew's girlfriend. Wanting to strike out at Wyatt for becoming over confident Harry takes the girl. She is ears and abused but somehow is strong enough to survive. Her hope is to find out who Summer is and why she was mistaken as her.

The plot twists and turns as Bailey and Wyatt plot to take the family business down but these things take time and you always have to keep looking behind your back...Wyatt is taken out and the plans stall.

The story is told from several pov and with flashbacks interspersed so we see how she has toughened up and what has given her a fire burning in her soul that keeps her going. We witness the brutality of her life and the never ending descent into madness as Harry realises he has the wrong girl...

Part two and things get even more twisted. Summer and Morgan are reunited and the truth of their paternity is a shocker. Everything Morgan thought she knew gets turned upside down. With Harry now dead Bailey and Wyatt are planning for a HEA with their files but something is a little off with Summer. She isn't happy that Morgan seems to be the golden girl and that her selfish made her suffer for so long in her place...the boys feel something is about to blow up in their faces and they are not wrong.

Poor Morgan is once again kidnapped and molested having been set up by her sister. Some things just can't be forgiven...

The plot is action packed and although a little dark and twisted there is so much love, hope and strength in the characters. They go back to war with the guys that took over from King and fight to save their Princess. Blood is shed, new scars are made and yet they are survivors.

I loved the dynamic between them and the sassy mouth of a girl that really was at the wrong place at the wrong time and yet in the end it brought her together with the missing piece of her soul.

Four gripping stars for this debut novel.

-


I’m known to my friends as a player; a user of women.

I don’t believe in relationships. They’re messy and confusing. They don’t last.
Lacey Wells walked into my life and ruined it. Although not in the traditional sense, we made the decision to be ‘exclusive’. We used each other to satisfy our bodies’ want of lust and attraction. And we had this…for a time.

When uncontrollable events altered the arrangement and life as we knew it had fallen to circumstance, my reactions weren’t only punishing, they were painful and cruel. I pushed her away, causing her heartache, but in return, she refused to break. Instead, she challenged my will at every turn. She was determined to make me see the person I always was, but had never been. I was desperate and searching for the answer I was so anxious to have…

Was I capable of falling in love?

Our path together was tumultuous and unforgiving. At times, it was full of anger and resentment. But it was also fun and sometimes downright ridiculous.

There’s no label to our story; tales of cliché pale in comparison. It just happened. It was us. It was crazy and it was exactly what we made it.

Note: There are no love triangles or cheating that takes place within this story. It’s a HEA; however, the road to getting there is full of angst, sadness, and regret. If you aren’t a reader who enjoys the element of angst or heartache, this book isn’t one you’d find enjoyment in reading.

Due to content, this book should not be purchased by readers under the age of 18.





“Say it, Travis,” she repeats, walking toward him. He flinches when he notices her getting closer.

“Fine. You wanna fuck the playboy, fuck the playboy.”

“That’s not exactly what we agreed to, is it?” Her hands are on her hips, her foot cocked to the side. She’s not backing down at all. Now that I sense things will be okay, I take a second to sum her up. 

I want inside her again.

“Hayden and I are friends, Trav. We’re friends who made an adult decision to sleep together, to have sex, to fuck.”

“He’s not who you think he is,” Travis mumbles, but I hear him as clearly as if he’s said it in my ear. The hurt is painfully difficult to swallow.

“Well, big brother, he has a big cock and I like it, so that’s enough for me, I guess.”

I let out a short laugh and look to the ground in attempt to hide my smile. Travis, letting this register, sits up on his elbows and although it takes him a few seconds, he finds me in the room still standing by the door. His whine echoes off the walls, “My sister?”

“Yes!” She slams the pillow she yanks off the floor and it hits his face with a bounce. He’s too drunk to deflect her quick action.

Finally, though, he concedes. “Okay! What the fuck ever. Just don’t come to me when he breaks your heart.” Forgetting I’m still standing in the same room, he continues explaining what he thinks he knows about me. “He will, Lacey. He’ll fuck you and leave you. That’s what he does.”

“God, you’re such an asshole!” she yells while throwing the other pillow at him and leaving him to sulk in his drunken state alone. 

“Lace, it’s okay.” I try to calm her but she’s coming right at me. 

“It’s definitely not okay, Hayden. Hope it’s all right ‘cause I’m staying the night. I’m not taking his drunk ass home and I’m not leaving him here alone with you,” she announces to the room, walking past me down my hallway. She has no clue where my bedroom is so she keeps opening doors along the way.

Before following her in, I walk to Trav lying on the couch with his eyes closed. “I like her, Trav,” I whisper, making this a confession to myself more than him. “We’re having fun.”

I start to walk away, but hear him call behind me, “Don’t hurt her, Hayden. I just got her. Please don’t take her away.”

His soft plea reaches out into the empty space between us. Locking the front door, I answer his return with one of my own. “It won’t be her who gets hurt in this, friend. It’ll be me.”

Review by Emma Mistress of all Dark & Twisted


Hayden's Verse is book two in the Devils Despair series by A C Bextor. This time it's lead singer Hayden Flynn's turn to take to the stage along with gaining another chance to see how Ace, Rae and the rest of the gang are fairing or growing up in the case of Sarah!! Oh my how she is becoming fiesty!!

Hayden is the alleged playboy lead singer in the band Devil's Despair and always has a different woman on his arm. However, looks can be deceiving in this case. There is always more to this group of misfits then meets the eye and Hayden is no different.

Travis found out at the end of Ace's Redemption hat he had a long lost sister named Lacey. In this book we see what leads Lacey to Travis's door. Travis is very protective of her as he is with all the females in his life and he dutifully warns Lacey of Hayden and his ways with women. Hayden is also warned off Lacey. The warnings are to no avail as both Lacey and Hayden find an equal amount of physical attraction to one another and can't deny the pull they have to each other.

Lacey gives Hayden a run for his money with her quick wit and can give as good as she can take of the ways of flirting. Hayden is falling hard for Lacey and starts to feel things he's never felt before towards a woman. As the two spend more time together, the more Lacey realizes there is more to Hayden than the playboy veneer his friends see. She is determined to make him see he is so much more than just a player and worthy of loving.

Lacey stands up for Hayden against her brother Travis. Support is something Hayden is not used to. He is used to his friends assuming he is nothing more then a playboy and therefore not worthy of Lacey. "No one has ever made me feel as important as she just did. Her tenacity and calm demeanour in the face of his wrath and challenge is fucking hot." But he just can't give her up either. We get the backstory to Hayden and his upbringing with his Dad, it's an emotional journey and his inner thoughts and feelings are heartbreaking to read as a man so truly kind and loving feels so undeserving. This quote made my heart bleed for Hayden when he whispers to Lacey "please don't make this more than what it is (sex) you weren't supposed to like me. Lacey."

Hayden and Lacey have to fight for their relationship. It's not easy by any means. Lacey is definitely stubborn and determined to fight not just everyone's assumptions of Hayden but his own internal demons too. Will this prince of seduction allow himself to have his own Happily Ever After or is he destined to be on his own with his harem of groupies to keep him company and leave Lacey broken hearted??

I love Debra Kayn's books and what I love even more is biker books. This book really didn't disappoint.

A realistic read and you cannot get better than this, Debra has a way of pulling you into her books and making you stay until you are finished.
A story that is so well written, that the characters are true to life.

If you are a lover of MC reads and are looking for one that will take you on a ride that you will never forget, then this is the book for you. If I could give it more than 5 stars, I would in a second.

He rolled back over to the edge of the bed, grabbed the pistol, and slid it back under her pillow. She pulled her head up.
"What are you doing?" she asked, unable to hold in the shriek of fear.
His mouth softened, guiding her head back to the pillow. "I'm going to kiss you and when I'm done doing that, I'm going to touch you, and when you're ready, I'm going to fuck you. At any time you get scared and want me to stop, you've got the pistol and can shoot me."
"Cam…" Her mouth opened to protest, but no words came out.
"Shoot me, baby," he whispered as his lips came down and captured hers.
Shocked, the overwhelming sensation of suffocating kept her from fighting him off. She held her breath, going through what he'd told her.
Shoot him?
She could shoot him.
She would shoot him.
 
Her love of family ties and laughter makes her a natural to write heartwarming contemporary stories to the delight of her readers. Oh, let's cut to the chase. She loves to write about REAL MEN and the WOMEN who love them. 

When Debra was nineteen years old, a man kissed her without introducing himself. When they finally came up for air, the first words out of his mouth were…will you have my babies? Considering Debra's weakness for a sexy, badass man, who is strong enough to survive her attitude, she said yes. A quick wedding at the House of Amour and four babies later, she's living her own romance book.

Love can lead you out of the wilderness…

1851, Overland Trail to California. As a baby, Callie was left on the doorstep of an isolated farmhouse in Tennessee. The Whitaker family took her in but have always considered her more a servant than a daughter. Scorned by her two stepsisters, Callie is forced to work long hours and denied an education. But a new world opens to her when the Whitakers join a wagon train to California—guided by rugged guide, Luke McGraw…

A loner, haunted by a painful past, Luke plans to return to the wilderness once his work is done. But he can’t help noticing how poorly Callie is treated—or how unaware she is of her beauty and intelligence. As the two become closer over the long trek west, Callie’s confidence grows. And when disaster strikes, Callie emerges as the strong one—and the woman Luke may find the courage to love at last…

“Not so fast.” He rose and clasped her upper arms. “I find you…” After a brief pause, he pulled her roughly to him so she was wrapped tightly in his arms. He pressed his lips against hers, gently at first, but then more hungrily, caressing her mouth in a kiss so searing it made her senses reel. She slid her arms around his neck, pressed close, and returned his kiss with reckless abandon. Time stood still while blood pounded in her brain and her knees trembled until finally he broke away, clasped her shoulders, and shoved her away at arm’s length. “No more.”


She stood breathless. Luke kissed me. She had imagined kissing him many a time, but now that he had, she had no idea what to say.


Before she found words, he shook his head, as if to clear his mind. “Forget this happened.” His breathing slowed. He backed a step away, appearing to have gained control over the passion that had gripped him.


But I don’t want to forget. She swallowed her words. The purposeful look in his eyes told her not to argue.


The unbelievable moment of passion had passed. He took her arm. “Let’s get back to the camp. I’ll give you a ride.”
