Cover Reveal for Betrayed by Brie Paisley! @SaintNSinBooks

He is darkness. He is everything that should make me run and never look back. I should run. I should leave and forget everything he makes me want and feel. I have tried running, only to be caught and brought back. Why does this man want me? Why does he want to claim everything I have? 

I just want to be free. I want and need my freedom from him. 

I need freedom from his darkness. 

I need freedom from his chains that bind me. 

I need freedom from falling for the man that I know is a monster. 

She is light. Everything that is good while I am consumed with darkness. She is my salvation from the monster that dwells inside of me. I can’t help but want her. I can’t help but need her. I have to consume her in every way possible. She is mine whether she wants to believe it or not. She wants her freedom from me. But what she doesn’t see, I am the very thing she wants and needs. 

Freedom to be herself. 

Freedom to let go of her pain. 

Freedom to fall for the one man that sets her body on fire. 

Body, mind, and soul I will claim what is mine.

This book was amazing we have to lost souls that come together as one this book has real life situations and Spencer and Live have a connection right off the bat. This book us so full of emotions that I don't know where to start, I couldn't put the book down. I have read the first two in this series and you can definitely read this one as a standalone but the whole series is awesome.

5 of 5 stars

I was gifted a copy for an honest review. I haven't read the 1st 2 novels in this series, but didn't have a hard time catching on. I love J.C. Valentine's book, and this one is just as great as the others I've read.
Struggling with a gambling addiction, Spencer tries his best to keep Olivia at arm's length. Olivia is determined to stand by Spencer, even when he hurts her. This book is so REAL. It addresses addictions and the destruction they can cause, but it also gives a glimmer of hope. While most people want to wash their hands of a broken addict, hopefully there's someone whose willing to stick with them through thick and thin. This is what this story is all about. It's more than worth your time to read!

I don't know where to start, I've read tons of books and some authors I remember names some I don't but Ericka Santana will be one to remember. This was a first from her for me and I'm speechless. now I will tell you there is ALOT of sex but omg it's hot as hell, I blushed the whole time and even after I read it . JC and Skylar were a couple at one time and he left her broken hearted and even still the whole history surrounding them is still uncomplete, but they have connected 6 years later as what was suppose to be one night, the night sky lost her virginity and the night JC knew he couldn't let her go again. JC peruse Sky, but tells her up front "don't fall in love with me", cause deep down he knows he can't love her, not the way she deserves. Sky accepts against her better jugement, knowing she's going to get hurt, but she never realized what pain she would experience and that she would love it. Sky can't get pass his sexual past and JC is trying to be what she needs but can she accept his past and issues he faces now. this book is truly amazing and even though there alot of sex and really it's not much but the hotness, the chemistry that is felt reading this book it's just nom, nom. there is a great love story evolving and I can't wait to see how it plays out. this book has amazing characters and I hope to see the story of Kyeren and Madi but not before I get the rest on JC and Sky. eek I'm excited for anyone who reads this book. 

A petite, a pixie cut blonde (for now) dressed in jeans and a San Diego "Hard Rock Couture" t-shirt, Ericka Santana could pass as a teen on her way to the mall and not the thirty-five year old woman that has seen tough times. As I catch a glimpse of the small cross tattoo on her hand, Ericka tells us her story.

Ericka was born in Matamoros, Tamaulipas, Mexico. She was only a year old when her father died. His passing left her mother to assume the role of both parents. Her mother worked long, extensive hours to provide for her children. She was strict and demanded respect. She was both mother and father and often impatient with her children. Not understanding her mother's situation, Ericka grew to be afraid of her. But Ericka insists she had a happy childhood and isn't looking for sympathy.

When Ericka was nine years old, she found a firecracker. And as any curious and mischievous child would, Ericka found a way to light it. Thinking it was a sparkler, she held the firecracker right in front of her face. The firecracker exploded! The sound was so loud, she became dizzy. Afraid of what her mother might do to her as punishment, Ericka kept her own secret. The vibrating sounds of her footsteps sounded like canon booms in her head but she still kept her secret. She would stick her head out the window of the moving car; hear the wind whistle in one ear and not the other. But she still kept her secret. It was a year before she saw a doctor for her hearing problems. She was finally able to tell someone what had happened to her. The doctor discovered that her right eardrum had completely ruptured and her left one was severely damaged. Believing education would be easier to obtain for a slightly deaf girl in the U.S., her mother sent her to live with her sister. Ericka enrolled in public school and wore hearing aids throughout junior high. The hearing aids stopped working for her by the time Ericka completed the 10th grade. Feeling out of place and without any special needs support, she opted to drop out.

Ericka was eighteen when she became pregnant. Her passport had expired and rather than risk getting stuck in Mexico, Ericka decided to stay in Texas. She married her high school sweetheart, moved to Minnesota and had two more children. Life in Minnesota was difficult on a single income and the family hit hard times. After six years, she and her family moved back to South Texas.

We find ways of coping when life gets tough. Ericka chose to read books. She has accumulated over two thousand digital books and has read every one. It was through reading the Twilight series by Stephanie Meyer that Ericka realized she wanted to write. She knew she had a knack for storytelling. Able to recount a story more than once and with the same precise detail, she started researching what she needed to do to become a writer. Eventually she began taking notes on the story she wanted to write. The plot and the characters started to flow.

Looking at Ericka, you would never know she is completely deaf or that she is reading your lips. Reading her writings, all in English, you would never know she only speaks Spanish. Ericka does not know sign language. She was never given the opportunity so she never learned. But none of this affects her spirit; it drives her dream.

Ericka currently works as a Sales Representative at Santana's Wigs & Hair Extensions. She is married to her high school sweetheart Alex and along with their three children, resides in Brownsville, Texas. She is currently working on the next volume of her series, Turbulent Desire Series, available early 2015.

I believe in soul mates. Why? Because I have one and her name is Lily Madison. 

I’ve loved Lily my whole life; she’s all I’ve ever known. But sometimes, when something has always been there, it’s hard to recognize it for what it is. I didn’t realize how deeply Lily was ingrained in every fabric of my soul until I felt her absence.

Sometimes in life, once choices are made and paths are altered, it is often impossible to go back.

I know this because I stand here with a two-carat engagement ring in my hand, waiting to ask someone to be my wife. I’m ready to love and cherish her ‘til death do us part. But, there’s just one problem.

She isn’t Lily.

Will the choices that have been made change our path forever or can fate find its way?
