Synopsis:</h3>
A storm is coming . . .
<br />
<br />
Locked behind bars for three years, Shadow did his time, quietly waiting for the magic day when he could return to Eagle Point, Indiana. A man no longer scared of what tomorrow might bring, all he wanted was to be with Laura, the wife he deeply loved, and start a new life.
<br />
<br />
But just days before his release, Laura and Shadow’s best friend are killed in an accident. With his life in pieces and nothing to keep him tethered, Shadow accepts a job from a beguiling stranger he meets on the way home, an enigmatic man who calls himself Mr. Wednesday. A trickster and rogue, Wednesday seems to know more about Shadow than Shadow does himself.
<br />
<br />
Life as Wednesday’s bodyguard, driver, and errand boy is far more interesting and dangerous than Shadow ever imagined—it is a job that takes him on a dark and strange road trip and introduces him to a host of eccentric characters whose fates are mysteriously intertwined with his own. Along the way Shadow will learn that the past never dies; that everyone, including his beloved Laura, harbors secrets; and that dreams, totems, legends, and myths are more real than we know. Ultimately, he will discover that beneath the placid surface of everyday life a storm is brewing—an epic war for the very soul of America—and that he is standing squarely in its path.
<br />
<br />
Relevant and prescient, American Gods has been lauded for its brilliant synthesis of “mystery, satire, sex, horror, and poetic prose” (Michael Dirda, Washington Post Book World) and as a modern phantasmagoria that “distills the essence of America” (Seattle Post-Intelligencer). It is, quite simply, an outstanding work of literary imagination that will endure for generations.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: #0b5394;">My Review:</span> <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/349347.American_Gods" target="_blank">American Gods</a></b> was one hell of a labor of love. I've had the book sitting on my bookshelf ever since it was in talks with the big guns in Hollywood that someone might pick it up. Well, a couple of weeks ago it was confirmed that STARZ got the rights and will be making it into a television series. So I decided it was time to read the book rather then let it keep collecting dust.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> I really enjoyed the story, even the stories within the story, the mythology on how "gods" weren't born in America, but traveled over with the people that came here. And how those gods slowly were forgotten and how new gods, created by the age of technological advancement, started taking over. <b><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/349347.American_Gods" target="_blank">American Gods</a></b> is deep, heavy, thought provoking. I enjoyed the variety of colorful characters, gods of old (Egyptian, Norse, Biblical, Indian etc.) in disguise as humans and had fun figuring out who they were with the subtle and sometimes not so subtle hints Gaiman dropped along the way. Shadow, the main protagonist, was a very interesting study that I originally thought was kind of dull but ended up becoming a very well rounded character by the end of the novel.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> My problem, thus the reason for the 4 star rating, is because, as I stated above, it was a labor of love. There is no doubt that Gaiman is a great storyteller, however, the story got bogged down with tedious details. There were parts I wanted to skip, but then I feared I would miss something big if I did. There were just details within the scenes that could have been cut out. For example, I didn't need to know that someone cooked Shadow bacon and eggs and how it was placed on the plate, and how it was placed on the table and what he poured himself to drink and how he sat down, and how long it took him to eat, etc., etc. Where the hell was his editor?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> On the flip side to all the unnecessary details, this will, no doubt, be a great thing for the creators of the television adaptation. They have so many details at their fingertips to work with. I will also say that I look forward to seeing how they bring some scenes to life on screen. My favorite part of the story (slight spoiler) is when Shadow rides on the <i>"World's Largest Carousel"</i> and some of the magical creatures that are on this Carousel come to life. How are they going to show him riding a griffin? Or how will they portray some of the gods in their natural form, such as Ganesha (Hindu god, half elephant, half man) or the Egyptian gods Horus & Anubis? I definitely can't wait to see how they make these things come to life!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/349347.American_Gods" target="_blank">American Gods</a></b> is a unique tale of gods, those that have been forgotten and those who are fighting not to be. If you have a nice chunk of time set aside to get lost in a story, I definitely recommend it. Even better, this may be worth an audiobook listen. Rest those eyes and let someone else take you on the journey.

Synopsis:</h3>
<b>A computer-hacking teen. The girl who wants to save him. And a rogue mirror reflection that might be the death of them both.
</b><br />
<br />
In private, seventeen-year-old Brandon hacks bank accounts just for the thrill of it. In public, he looks like any other tattooed bad boy with a fast car and devil-may-care attitude. He should know: he’s worked hard to maintain that façade. With inattentive parents who move constantly from city to city, he’s learned not to get tangled up in things like friends and relationships. So he’ll just keep living like a machine, all gears and wires.
<br />
<br />
Then two things shatter his carefully-built image: Emma, the kind, stubborn girl who insists on looking beneath the surface – and the small matter of a mirror reflection that starts moving by itself. Not only does Brandon’s reflection have a mind of its own, but it seems to be grooming him for something—washing the dye from his hair, yanking out his piercings, swapping his black shirts for … pastels. Then it tells him: it thinks it can live his life better, and it’s preparing to trade places.
<br />
<br />
And when it pulls Brandon through the looking-glass, not only will he need all his ill-gotten hacking skills to escape, but he’s going to have to face some hard truths about who he’s become. Otherwise he’ll be stuck in a digital hell until he’s old and gray, and no one will even know he's gone.

<b><span style="color: #cc0000;">My Review:</span></b> I have been extremely lucky in the past month or so to have had the opportunity to read YA novels with unique male protagonists. As an educator working with mostly reluctant readers, it is very difficult to find Young Adult books with interesting male leads that will keep teenage boys engaged. After having read <i><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Tragic-Age-Novel-Stephen-Metcalfe-ebook/dp/B00MLNBIM8/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&sr=1-1&qid=1426689298" target="_blank">The Tragic Age</a></i> by Stephen Metcalfe and now <i><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Duplicity-N-K-Traver-ebook/dp/B00N046Z48/ref=sr_1_1_twi_2_kin?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1426686993&sr=1-1&keywords=duplicity" target="_blank"><span style="color: red; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Duplicity</b></span></a></i> by the brilliant <a href="http://www.nktraver.com/" target="_blank">N.K. Traver</a>, it almost feels like I hit the jackpot.<br />
<br />
Without adding the science fiction element, the story is quite simple. Brandon Eriks is a 17 year old tattooed bad boy that gains pleasure out of hacking into bank accounts and credit cards for a nefarious organization. Of course he gets his cut, however he doesn't really need it since his parents have plenty of money. Brandon seems to fit the stereotype that comes with being tattooed and pierced-- he isn't doing well in school, he treats everyone with disdain, and is in constant dispute with his parents who start to think drugs might be the reason for his attitude and lack of motivation. Brandon doesn't care what anyone thinks; in fact, he has everyone thinking EXACTLY what he wants them to. Well, except for one anomaly-- Emma. Emma is the one person that sees beyond the attitude, beyond the tats and piercings. And for awhile, Brandon allows it. For once, he lets someone get close. But it can't last. Not with how his parents pick up and move every year. No, it's better for a clean break now rather than heartbreak later.<br />
<br />
Then things get a little...crazy. One night while running a program to begin another "hack" job, his computer starts sending him messages. Personal, scary messages:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">"HERE'S THE GAME, HACKER. I'M DONE WATCHING YOU RUIN PEOPLE'S LIVES. HEARD THE PHRASE 'YOUR OWN WORSE ENEMY?' YOU'RE ABOUT TO LIVE IT."</span></b></div>
<br />
Thinking someone has messed with his computer, Brandon tries to brush it off until he starts to notice strange things happening to his reflection in mirrors-- his reflection doesn't follow his every move, instead it moves on its own, leaves messages through the glass, and starts to make physical changes to his appearance. Tattoos and piercings are removed (somewhat painfully), clothing replaced with a completely new "preppy" wardrobe, until finally, one day, it is HE that is replaced by his "duplicate". Now Brandon is on the other side of the mirror, watching this "replica" of himself take over his life. What's worse is the fact that Obran (the name Brandon gives his duplicate) appears to be mending the relationship with his parents, getting better grades in school, and getting a little too close to Emma. Why was he pulled into the mirror? Most importantly, how will he get out? That's something you'll have to figure out by reading this suspenseful cyberthriller!<br />
<br />
If you like anti-heroes, then you will enjoy Brandon. He definitely isn't perfect and from the very first page you know he is partaking in illegal activities and makes no apologies about it. Bank accounts, credit cards-- he hacks into them all and is looking forward to moving on up to social security numbers very soon. So why should teenage boys pick this book up when the male lead is a slacker and on his way to becoming a criminal? Because despite his less than role model qualities, he is relatable. How many kids do you know have parents that work extra hours to keep their million dollar homes, brand new cars, their lake house but spend absolutely no time with their children? Parents that move every year, yanking their kids out of school, never staying long enough to lay down roots? That is Brandon's life. Despite his standoffish appearance and front he puts on, all he really wants is to be noticed by his parents. He wants to be able to stay in one place long enough to make long lasting friendships and relationships, however, keeping people at arm's length, especially Emma, is the only way to guard himself from being hurt when it is time to move.<br />
<br />
Another aspect of <i><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Duplicity-N-K-Traver-ebook/dp/B00N046Z48/ref=sr_1_1_twi_2_kin?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1426686993&sr=1-1&keywords=duplicity" target="_blank"><span style="color: red; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Duplicity</b></span></a></i> I liked is that Brandon and Emma's relationship is already established at the beginning of the story. I thought this was a unique twist to the book and allows us to get right into the action.<br />
<br />
While there are not too many secondary characters in the book, the one that stood out to me was Seb. Once Brandon is pulled through the mirror into this alternate "landscape", he eventually meets Seb, an androgynous, mysterious hacker that wants to work with him to get out and back to the real world. Seb has a particular set of skills that Brandon definitely needs to attain their goal, but he is unsure if Seb can be trusted. I'll admit-- I was just as wary about Seb as Brandon was. However, Seb was hilarious and definitely serves as the comic relief in <i><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Duplicity-N-K-Traver-ebook/dp/B00N046Z48/ref=sr_1_1_twi_2_kin?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1426686993&sr=1-1&keywords=duplicity" target="_blank"><span style="color: red; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Duplicity</b></span></a></i>. And as the story unfolds, you learn there is more to Seb then meets the eye, things that will have your eyes widening in shock and pulling on your heart strings.<br />
<br />
The science fiction element of the story was fascinating and the technology aspect of the story will grab teenage readers and keep them invested since we live in a world where our kids are more technologically inclined then us adults. But even less tech savvy people can enjoy this fast paced thriller even with the introduction of supercomputers and nano chips, etc.<br />
<br />
<i><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Duplicity-N-K-Traver-ebook/dp/B00N046Z48/ref=sr_1_1_twi_2_kin?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1426686993&sr=1-1&keywords=duplicity" target="_blank"><span style="color: red; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Duplicity</b></span></a></i> is an engrossing piece of literary genius-- from the concept to the plot, to the flawed anti-hero who wants to be seen but is terrified to get attached-- it is hard to believe this book was written by a debut author. The ending will leave you wanting more--is it open ended, left for you to draw your own conclusions or did the author subtly set it up for a possible sequel? I guess we all will have to wait and see. I have no doubt we will be seeing more of <a href="http://www.nktraver.com/" target="_blank">N.K. Traver</a>.<br />

Synopsis:</h3>
<b>MAX</b>
<br />
<br />
Feelings are a luxury I can’t afford. Hidden behind a shield of quiet placidity, I keep my secret safe from those who’d use it against me. Until him—the tatted up, self-centered Scar assassin hired to protect me.
<br />
<br />
He takes pleasure in tormenting me, chipping away at my defenses as if I’m a toy to be played with. I hate that he continuously reminds me that I’m nothing more than a job. I hate that my body responds to his touch. I hate him.<br />
<br />
<b>JASPER</b>
<br />
<br />
I’m not a good guy and I don’t pretend to be. Condemn me if you want, I don’t give a fuck. You’re nothing to me. No one is … except her—Max. She’s my target. And I was hired to do a hell of a lot more than protect her … I was hired to kill her.<br />
<br />
It should’ve been simple, but it was complicated as hell.
<br />
<br />
<b><i>Full-length novel.</i></b> <i>Come meet the Scars.

<b>My Review:</b> I have read just about every book by <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Nashoda-Rose/e/B00HFQ9KEO/ref=ntt_athr_dp_pel_1" target="_blank">Nashoda Rose</a> so I was pleasantly surprised when I got offered a chance to read and review her newest novel <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Take-scars-wraiths-Nashoda-Rose-ebook/dp/B00TWL8NQG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1425530519&sr=8-1&keywords=take+nashoda+rose" target="_blank"><span style="color: purple; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><i>TAKE</i></b></span></a>. The reason for my surprise? Because <i><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Take-scars-wraiths-Nashoda-Rose-ebook/dp/B00TWL8NQG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1425530519&sr=8-1&keywords=take+nashoda+rose" target="_blank"><span style="color: purple; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>TAKE</b></span></a></i> is a paranormal romance and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Nashoda-Rose/e/B00HFQ9KEO/ref=ntt_athr_dp_pel_1" target="_blank">Rose</a>--up to this point--has written only contemporary erotic romance. Paranormal romance used to be one of my top go-to genres. However, it didn't take me long to get tired of stories that lacked any kind of originality. Don't get me wrong, sometimes reading a book with a similar formula can be great when you just want to shut your brain off and enjoy a few hours of mindless entertainment. But when stories from completely different authors start blurring together, that's when you know a break is in order. And this is why I typically buy only from my constants in the paranormal romance genre, like J.R. Ward and Lara Adrian.<br />
<br />
However, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Nashoda-Rose/e/B00HFQ9KEO/ref=ntt_athr_dp_pel_1" target="_blank">Nashoda Rose</a> hasn't failed me yet and I'm not going to lie, there is really nothing in the synopsis that gives away this story is a paranormal romance. So I was curious-- what were the paranormal elements that made up this story?<br />
<br />
What we have are Scars, immortal warriors that live in the human world but have heightened senses. For example, our hero, Jasper, is known as a Sounder, the ability to hear noises, voices, etc. from miles away. There are also Trackers, Healers, Tasters, Visionaries and the rare Reflectors. Each of these warriors has a tattoo, or what they call an "Ink" that can be called to life.<br />
<br />
<b>I absolutely loved the concept of the Scar warriors, especially their "Ink" that they can summon off of their bodies to manifest into...creatures? Monsters? We only get two examples of "Inks" in the book. Jasper's "Ink" is named Groar, a boar-like monster with silver skin covered in tattoos. </b>Totally bad ass. While immortal warriors with heightened senses and tattoos that come to life are not completely original ideas, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Nashoda-Rose/e/B00HFQ9KEO/ref=ntt_athr_dp_pel_1" target="_blank">Nashoda Rose</a> took the concept and made it her own.<br />
<br />
<b>Jasper was the ultimate bad boy alpha male.</b> But he is more then just a Scar Sounder. He is a highly respected hired assassin who crosses paths with our heroine Max in the beginning of the story and then meets up with her again 6 months later when her life is threatened. Jasper is crass, a major smart ass, and hides his emotions behind a thick wall to protect himself from growing attachments to anyone because of a tragedy that happened years ago. This is also why he doesn't belong to a <i>Talde</i>, or a group/band of Scar warriors. <b>A complete loner and he likes it that way, well, until Max starts messing with his head and emotions.</b><br />
<b><br />
Max was an intriguing character and perhaps is one of the only heroines that I can remember in a romance where I walked away liking her more than the hero!</b> Not that I had any issues towards Jasper-- that man was HOT with a capital H and his tragic past was heartbreaking. But Max's back story is horrific and it takes an extremely strong person to endure what she has. Max is a Scar Healer, only she has a unique ability that no other healer can do-- and that is the ability to heal a Scar's "Ink" once it has been destroyed. Max has endured years of imprisonment, torture, rape by the twistedly evil Drake. Once a Scar Tracker, he is even more powerful now that he is a vampire. At first, Drake enslaves Max and keeps her close so that she can constantly heal is failing lungs which started to occur once his "Ink" had died. At this point, he does not know Max's other ability-- and she will take it to her grave before she lets him find out. After years of imprisonment, she is rescued by Xamien, the leader of his own <i>Talde</i> of Scar warriors. He gives her safety, a place to call home. And while she is forever grateful and has a soft spot for this fierce warrior, she can't completely trust him and remains tight lipped about her time with Drake.
<br />
<br />
And then Jasper enters her life and all the walls she spent years erecting to keep herself safe start to crumble. He constantly baits her, saying outrageously sexual things that stirs a fire in her blood that she thought long dead. Her body riddled with scars from her time with Drake, Max wants to hide them, but Jasper isn't having any of it. He finds her beautiful, scars and all (even though the thought of someone putting them on her makes him want to hunt down the evil bastard responsible). <b>Jasper and Max have off the charts chemistry and couldn't be more perfectly matched. </b>When Jasper's true motives for taking her on as a "job" are revealed towards the end of the book, I felt a twinge in my heart for both characters-- how would Max ever be able to trust Jasper again and get over feeling betrayed? It took almost losing her for Jasper to realize how important she has become in his world-- how will he ever gain her trust? Well, you'll just have to read to find out!
<br />
<br />
It is really no surprise how much I also <b>enjoyed the introduction to the secondary characters, especially Jasper's brother Holden (a Scar Tracker) and their friend Guise (a Visionary, ability to see very far). </b>If you've read any of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Nashoda-Rose/e/B00HFQ9KEO/ref=ntt_athr_dp_pel_1" target="_blank">Nashoda Rose's</a> previous novels, then you already know she has an amazing ability to create some of the hottest male secondary characters that will leave you panting for more. I know that <i><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Take-scars-wraiths-Nashoda-Rose-ebook/dp/B00TWL8NQG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1425530519&sr=8-1&keywords=take+nashoda+rose" target="_blank"><span style="color: purple; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>TAKE</b></span></a></i> was a bit of an experimental book in that reader reaction will play a huge role on whether <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Nashoda-Rose/e/B00HFQ9KEO/ref=ntt_athr_dp_pel_1" target="_blank">Nashoda</a> decides to expand on this series. And I am praying to the gods that she does because Holden, Guise, even Xamien need their own books. It totally has to happen!
<br />
<br />
So what held me back from giving <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Take-scars-wraiths-Nashoda-Rose-ebook/dp/B00TWL8NQG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1425530519&sr=8-1&keywords=take+nashoda+rose" target="_blank"><span style="color: purple; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><i>TAKE</i></b></span></a><span style="color: purple;"> </span>a perfect 5 star rating? <b>While I absolutely loved the concept of the Scars, the story lacked world building and mythology.</b> At the very beginning of the book, the author gives us a glossary of terms which I found interesting. I thought wow, okay, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Nashoda-Rose/e/B00HFQ9KEO/ref=ntt_athr_dp_pel_1" target="_blank">Nashoda</a> is trying to prepare us for this unique new world. Well...many of the terms in the glossary weren't even mentioned in the story. For a first novel in a series, there definitely lacks a bit of foundation. We really have no mythology, meaning we don't know where or how Scars came into existence. Oh, and how/where do vampires fit into all of this? I also feel like there was a ton of repetition throughout the story, a lot of Jasper and Max repeating themselves, their thoughts over and over which could have been extra pages spent giving us background.
<br />
<br />
Despite this, <span style="color: purple; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Take-scars-wraiths-Nashoda-Rose-ebook/dp/B00TWL8NQG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1425530519&sr=8-1&keywords=take+nashoda+rose" target="_blank"><i><span style="color: purple;"><b>T</b></span><b><span style="color: purple;">AKE</span></b></i></a></span> is a <b>refreshing paranormal romance that will make a great new addition in the overly saturated genre. </b>If you like dirty talking alpha males and strong heroines that aren't easily intimidated, then this is a must read.<br />

Synopsis:</h3>
This is the story of Billy Kinsey, heir to a lottery fortune, part genius, part philosopher and social critic, full time insomniac and closeted rock drummer. Billy has decided that the best way to deal with an absurd world is to stay away from it. Do not volunteer. Do not join in. Billy will be the first to tell you it doesn’t always work— not when your twin sister, Dorie, has died, not when your unhappy parents are at war with one another, not when frazzled soccer moms in two ton SUVs are more dangerous than atom bombs, and not when your guidance counselor keeps asking why you haven’t applied to college.
<br />
<br />
Billy’s life changes when two people enter his life. Twom Twomey is a charismatic renegade who believes that truly living means going a little outlaw. Twom and Billy become one another’s mutual benefactor and friend. At the same time, Billy is reintroduced to Gretchen Quinn, an old and adored friend of Dorie’s. It is Gretchen who suggests to Billy that the world can be transformed by creative acts of the soul.
<br />
<br />
With Twom, Billy visits the dark side. And with Gretchen, Billy experiences possibilities.Billy knows that one path is leading him toward disaster and the other toward happiness. The problem is—Billy doesn’t trust happiness. It's the age he's at. The tragic age.
<br />
<br />
Stephen Metcalfe's brilliant, debut coming-of-age novel, <i>The Tragic Age</i>, will teach you to learn to love, trust and truly be alive in an absurd world.

<b><span style="color: #e69138;">My Review:</span></b> I'm hoping to keep this review short and sweet as there are so many wonderful layers to this unique, coming-of-age novel by the visionary <a href="http://stephenmetcalfe.net/" target="_blank">Stephen Metcalfe</a>. <b><i><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Tragic-Age-Novel-Stephen-Metcalfe-ebook/dp/B00MLNBIM8/ref=sr_1_1_twi_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1424227788&sr=8-1&keywords=the+tragic+age" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">The Tragic Age</span></a></i></b> is packed with themes and life lessons-- so much so that I can see this being a novel that should be read in the classroom (although language and sexual situations may be an issue; more about that later).<br />
<br />
The story is told through Billy's perceptive yet cynical eyes. He explains how his father won the lottery which puts them in a whole new social bracket. He constantly compares his pre-lottery life to his new one. Before the lottery, his twin sister had been alive and his parents seemed to have been much happier (at least they were able to communicate better) among other things. After the big win, they buy a big house, move to a rich gated community, and appear to have everything that money can buy. We quickly come to the same conclusion that Billy has cleverly come to-- <b>money can't buy happiness.</b> It can't bring someone back from the dead and can't stop people from drinking-- a really bad habit his father has picked up.<br />
<br />
I've read quite a few Young Adult novels with female characters <b>that have Hemangiomas</b> (red facial "birthmark") but have never come across one with a male protagonist. I was curious to see things through Billy's perspective. How does a young man deal with it?<br />
<br />
Cancer is another topic that is laced throughout the story. Billy's not over the loss of his sister and his own mother is a cancer survivor. <b><i><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Tragic-Age-Novel-Stephen-Metcalfe-ebook/dp/B00MLNBIM8/ref=sr_1_1_twi_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1424227788&sr=8-1&keywords=the+tragic+age" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">The Tragic Age</span></a></i></b> is actually the first book I've read that deals a bit with the topic of cancer since learning my own father has it.<br />
<br />
So here are some other things I enjoyed about the novel. <b>The chapters are short</b>-- ranging from just a paragraph to a couple of pages. This obviously leads to quick and addictive reading.<br />
<br />
<b>Billy is funny and quirky</b>, especially when he goes off on one of his fact lectures. What's really cool about this is just when you start to wonder what in the hell does this have to do with the story, Billy always finds a way to relate it back to the topic at hand which is truly brilliant. Here is one of my favorite examples, when Billy tries to describe and deny his attraction to Gretchen:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b>"It's just not fair.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b>Norepinephrine, phenylhydrazine, and dopamine, which act like amphetamines, hit my brain's pleasure center like a locomotive. My pupils dilate. My heart pumps faster. The chemical oxytocin floods my body, creating intense feelings of caring, attraction, and warmth. Physical contact produces endorphins and continued high doses of ocytocin. These chemicals are all natural opiates that create a druglike dependency.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b>Translation?</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b>I am so screwed."</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Things really pick up when Twom (pronounced "tomb") Twomey enters the picture. I absolutely found Twom intriguing. Perhaps it's the mysterious bad boy thing he has going on. I loved how he shows no fear, the way he deals with the school bully John Montebello (one of my favorite parts), how he can be violent one minute but be sensitive enough to give some attention to the "fat girl". Billy can't help but gravitate toward him, perhaps because they both use facades to cover who they really are inside. I also found <b>Twom's star-crossed love with Deliza interesting</b>. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
With Billy and Twom becoming best buds, others start joining their little group. Ephraim, the introverted "nerd" who can hack into pretty much anything and the popular, gorgeous Deliza (who surprisingly falls for Twom)-- they start breaking into houses. Their purpose is not to steal anything-- Ephraim does it for the rush and cred since he loves tech stuff, it gives Twom and Deliza a place to make out among other things and Billy...well, he sleeps. You learn pretty early on that<b> Billy also suffers from Insomnia</b>. He can't sleep at home which is why he is basically a walking encyclopedia. But for some reason, in other people's homes, he can finally rest peacefully.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
While some may find the culmination of the story startling (I won't lie, I had to go back and reread it a few times and then sit on it a few days until I figured out whether I liked the direction the story took me) I have to say the title says it all. As a teacher, I deal with kids from ages 11-18, five days a week and it never ceases to amaze me how they can take something so small and completely blow it out of proportion. Or if they had just taken the time to think things through, they would have come to a completely different conclusion or outcome. That is really all I can say without giving away the ending of the story.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I also must add that after doing a little research on author <a href="http://stephenmetcalfe.net/" target="_blank">Stephen Metcalfe</a> and finding out that while this is his debut novel, he is not new to the field. He is an accomplished screenwriter and playwright which explains why <b><i><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Tragic-Age-Novel-Stephen-Metcalfe-ebook/dp/B00MLNBIM8/ref=sr_1_1_twi_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1424227788&sr=8-1&keywords=the+tragic+age" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">The Tragic Age</span></a></i></b> feels like it can easily be turned into a film.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><i><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Tragic-Age-Novel-Stephen-Metcalfe-ebook/dp/B00MLNBIM8/ref=sr_1_1_twi_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1424227788&sr=8-1&keywords=the+tragic+age" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">The Tragic Age</span></a> </i></b>is a true gem in a sea of coal. A breath of fresh air that follows its own formula, it is the type of novel that can be enjoyed by teens and adults alike. <a href="http://stephenmetcalfe.net/" target="_blank">Stephen Metcalfe</a> is a strong writer that cleverly intertwines many themes and topics without making the story feel convoluted. Lastly, while this novel would be an excellent addition to the high school classroom and would open up discussion on a variety of different topics, I must warn that there is adult language (cursing) and sexual situations. However, I hope that this does not deter educators from experiencing <i><b><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Tragic-Age-Novel-Stephen-Metcalfe-ebook/dp/B00MLNBIM8/ref=sr_1_1_twi_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1424227788&sr=8-1&keywords=the+tragic+age" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">The Tragic Age</span></a></b></i> and somehow find a way to incorporate it into the classroom. As a reader, you will find this coming-of-age novel funny, eye-opening and told through the eyes of one of the most unique male characters in Young Adult literature.</div>

I lie to survive.
<br />
<br />
Have since I was sixteen and my world fell into chaos. But I found a way to endure, or rather it found me. Now I’m a prisoner of my own doing, hiding behind a false mask so no one sees the truth. Not even the man I want but can’t have—Deck. But I messed up and the lies are spilling over, out of control.

<b><span style="color: #b45f06;">My Review:</span></b> After being introduced to Deck in <i><b><a href="http://themusescircle.blogspot.com/2014/06/book-review-overwhelmed-by-you-tear.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: red; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Overwhelmed by You</span></a></b></i>, book 2 in the <i>Tear Asunder</i> series, I was just about frothing at the mouth for his and Georgie's story to be told. (You can read my review of <b><i><a href="http://themusescircle.blogspot.com/2014/06/book-review-overwhelmed-by-you-tear.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: red; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Overwhelmed by You</span></a></i></b> which includes my first impression of Deck <b><a href="http://themusescircle.blogspot.com/2014/06/book-review-overwhelmed-by-you-tear.html" target="_blank">HERE</a></b>). The man just oozes sex appeal with his possessive, alpha male characteristics and strong, silent, take charge, take-no-shit attitude. Georgie, on the other hand, is his complete opposite in every way--an outgoing, outrageous flirt with a penchant for a bottle of hair dye. My curiosity was piqued-- how were these two going to work as a couple?<br />
<br />
That being said, the best word to describe how I felt by the time I reached the last page of <i><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Perfect-Chaos-Unyielding-Book-1-ebook/dp/B00Q0SZ8W6/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1417580440&sr=1-1" target="_blank"><span style="color: orange; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Perfect Chaos</b></span></a></i> is...underwhelmed. It's been a couple of weeks since finishing the book and I'm still having trouble pinpointing exactly what bothered me. I was so sure this was going to be an easy slam dunk, 5 star rating kind of story. Imagine my frustration at only being able to rate it a 3.5 at best.<br />
<br />
Here is what I did like. The first thing I noticed was the alternating perspectives between Deck and Georgie. I was so ecstatic and relieved to learn this because in <i><a href="http://themusescircle.blogspot.com/2014/06/book-review-overwhelmed-by-you-tear.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: red; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Overwhelmed by You</b></span></a></i>, the whole book was in Kat's perspective except for the Prologue. I thought the author was going to do the same with <i><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Perfect-Chaos-Unyielding-Book-1-ebook/dp/B00Q0SZ8W6/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1417580440&sr=1-1" target="_blank"><span style="color: orange; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Perfect Chaos</b></span></a></i>. Thankfully, the author must have realized the importance of giving Deck a voice. He's the type of character you definitely want to get inside his head.<br />
<br />
I also thought the chemistry between Deck and Georgie was off the hook. <b>The man was like a block of ice and only Georgie's fiery spirit and personality could thaw him out.</b> I absolutely loved the way she would bait Deck by making him jealous. She would say some of the most outrageous things to get him riled up, whether it be her joking about being sexually involved with one of his men (Tyler) or pretending to be an out of control party girl heading down a bad road. She knew how to push his buttons and when she poked him too far, it was really fun (and hot) to see Deck finally claim her.<br />
<br />
Nashoda Rose also writes in some great secondary characters which is one of the first things I admired about her <i>Tear Asunder</i> series. While we do get glimpses of Crisis and Kite-- two band members that still need their own books for that series, we are introduced to a new set of males, men that follow under Deck's leadership. Tyler, Vic, Kai-- Nashoda did a pretty good job giving these secondary characters just enough page time to pique your interest for future sitings as the series progresses.<br />
<br />
While I still struggle to pinpoint some of the things that bothered me about the story, there were two problems that were quite clear. The first thing that bugged me was the lack of characterization for Deck. The author was on the right track by giving us his POV throughout the book, However, we barely scratch the service as far as getting to really know him. While we get flashbacks of Georgie, all we are told about Deck is that he had a troubled childhood. Key word TOLD. It would have been nice to be SHOWN which could have been easily done by giving us a few flashback scenes to a younger Deck. His character felt all surface, not enough depth and sadly, this was a huge turn off for me.<br />
<br />
I was also bothered by an uncharacteristic choice the author made towards the end of the story. Deck is supposed to be the best of the best when it comes to security, safety-- especially when it has to do with Georgie. When he is out of the country on a mission, he either leaves a man behind to keep an eye on her or sets up cameras everywhere or has a tracker on her phone, etc. He's almost a bit OCD about it. Yet for some ungodly-- and uncharacteristic reason, Deck drops Georgie off at her apartment and leaves her alone. He doesn't have eyes on her or anything set up for her protection after learning that this terrifying organization known as VAULT is after her (well, not exactly after HER, but still she is in danger). Of course something bad happens because he left her which I won't get into further because of spoiler territory. My point is, this was just a very unbelievable part of the story-- as if the author couldn't come up with a better way to get Georgie alone. It just doesn't fit Deck's character at all which really bothered me.<br />
<br />
<i><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Perfect-Chaos-Unyielding-Book-1-ebook/dp/B00Q0SZ8W6/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1417580440&sr=1-1" target="_blank"><span style="color: orange; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Perfect Chaos</b></span></a> </i>definitely had its highs and lows. <b>It started out strong with a heart wrenching opening and great alternating POV between hero and heroine. The chemistry between Deck and Georgie was HOT, the sex scenes were scorching, and the author does a good job setting us up with strong secondary characters to look forward to in future books. </b>What seems to be lacking is a story that felt rushed and mediocre characterization and depth which makes it hard to fully relate and connect with that character. While I still plan to give this new series another shot, I find myself more looking forward to book 3 in the <i>Tear Asunder</i> series than I do for book 2 in this one.<br />

<span style="color: #f9cb9c;">Nashoda Rose lives in Toronto with her assortment of pets. She writes contemporary romance with a splash of darkness, or maybe it’s a tidal wave. Her novella "With You" is the first in the Tear Asunder series, followed by the novel "Torn from You" and "Overwhelmed by You". When she isn’t writing, she can be found sitting in a field reading with her dog at her side while her horses graze nearby. She loves interacting with her readers on Facebook and chatting about her addiction—books.</span><br />

<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Best selling author J.C. Valentine is the alter-ego of Brandi Salazar, whose enjoyment of tales of romance spurred her to branch out and create her own.
She lives in the Northwest with her husband, their wild children, and far too many pets. As a university student, she studies literature, which goes well with her dream of becoming an editor. Brandi entertains a number of hobbies including reading and photography, but her first love is writing fiction-in all its forms.

synopsis</h3>
</div>
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A Publishers Weekly Best Summer Book 2014!
</span><br />
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>"You have to go. I won't be able to control myself. I've wanted you so bad for so long and after I've been in the cage...I can't think straight." He gives a guttural groan and his fist clenches on my hip.
</i></span><br />
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Primitive. Primal. His need speaks to me. I tighten my grip on his neck and rock up to kiss him. He takes over. His kiss is hard and demanding.
</i></span><br />
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>"Mine." His voice is raw, savage and for a moment I truly believe he may lose control.
</i></span><br />
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>He rules in the ring
</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Two years ago, Jake and Amanda were going hot and heavy. But when Jake wanted more, Amanda walked away. Jake immersed himself in mixed martial arts, living life on the edge. But that didn't dull the pain of Amanda's rejection-until a chance encounter throws them together.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A high-powered lawyer, Amanda was a no-strings-attached kind of girl. But two years after her breakup with Jake, she still hasn't found anyone who gets her heart pumping the way he did. And then he shows up in her boardroom, hot as sin and needing help...
</span><br />
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>But can he rule her heart?
</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Jake is darker, sexier, and impossible to resist. As their chemistry builds, Amanda's not sure if she can stay in control, or if she's finally willing to let him claim her body and soul.

<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">A few minutes later, we’re pressed up against the bar, a temporary wooden structure that looks like it could collapse at any moment. If not for Jake’s strength and determination, we would never have made it through the crowd. Even now he has one hand braced against the counter and his back to the heaving mass of people to give us breathing room.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The bartender shoves two cups of beer—the only item on offer—in our direction and I wrinkle my nose.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Jake laughs. “Still not a fan?”
</span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Not really. Especially if it’s warm, which I’m guessing it is.” I dip my finger in the cup and pop it in my mouth. The beer is indeed warm and very bitter, but the heat in Jake’s eyes as I slide my lips over my finger makes it easy to swallow.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Again,” Jake murmurs, his voice husky and filled with sensual promise.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“You like that?”
</span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Yeah, baby, I do.” His hand tangles in my hair and he yanks my head back so hard my eyes tear. With his other hand around my waist, he pulls me tight against his body. I sense a shift in the crowd around us, and then people surge toward the stage, leaving us alone at the bar.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“You drive me fucking crazy.” With a nip, he parts my lips, and his tongue sweeps inside, searching, possessing, teasing, until my knees tremble and my body turns liquid.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Remember that night we met?” He whispers against my lips. “We watched ourselves in the mirror, and you told me it was exciting to imagine we were in a crowd?”
</span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“That was a good night.”
</span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“The night I met you was the best night of my life.”
</span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Before I can respond, he deepens the kiss. Tongues tangle, teeth clash, lips bruise. Lust, raw and ragged, tears through me, and I can only cling to his shoulders and hold on for the ride.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“We’re gonna do it now.” His voice deepens to a growl. “We’re gonna make that fantasy come true.”

synopsis</h3>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The constitution of a man is not always defined by his destiny but occasionally by the circumstances of the life he has lived. Part Choctaw Spirit Walker and part French, Remy is born into two worlds belonging to none. Such is the life of Remy Broulette. An unfortunate series of events leads to his eventual demise and rebirth - a rebirth which resulted in his immortality. Condemned to feed on the souls of others for all eternity, Remy lives a life of uncontrollable, wanton lust and debauchery without regret, and is bent on destruction over what he cannot forget and what he cannot forgive - until the young Revel DeMarquis enters his life. What will happen when immortal becomes pitted against immortal when the fight for Remy's soul begins and who will be left standing in the aftermath as the immortals of New Orleans are forced to choose sides?

<h3>
excerpt</h3>
</div>
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The constitution of a man is not always defined by his destiny but occasionally by the circumstances of the life he has lived.
Revel DeMarquis stood watching as the waves lapped against the shore depositing copious amounts of shells and seaweed now that the storm had lessened. The sun was beginning to rise as he lifted the window allowing the salty scent of the ocean to fill his room. The air was heavy and dense as it rolled through Royal Street and into the French Quarter, nearly so thick it was difficult to breathe. The heaviness of the waves had ceased and was replaced with the placid rolling of the inward bay. Beams of the breaking dawn shed their light across the caps coloring them with tinges of red, crimson, and orange.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">His moment of bliss, enjoying the city as it was meant to be enjoyed, was broken by the harrowing screams of Remy Broulette.
It was common and occurred every morning with the same result. Revel hastened his pace, picking up a towel before exiting his room, to walk the long corridor to the room of his friend.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Remy stood in the corner gasping for air. His eyes were wild, nearly feral, as they swept the room. The full length of his hair was dripping with sweat. It was a scene Revel DeMarquis had witnessed a million times before. Remy seized the towel from his hand and stormed out of the room, slamming the door to the lavatory behind him. The sound of water was not enough to drown out his angry screams.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Revel walked to the end of the corridor and stood at the top of the spiral staircase looking at the fortune they had amassed during their lifetime.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“It means nothing without your happiness and peace remaining elusive,” Revel whispered before descending the staircase and meeting their butler at the base of the stairs.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Ambrulle, please make Master Remy his usual breakfast.”
</span><br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Yes, sir, and what do you wish for breakfast this morning?”
</span><br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“I will have the same as Remy, if you please.”
</span><br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Certainly, Master Revel; do you wish me to bring it to his room or will you be serving Master Remy this morning?”
</span><br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“I will accompany you to the kitchen. It is not necessary for you to bring our morning meal upstairs.”
</span><br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“As you wish sir,” Ambrulle replied courteously.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Revel followed closely until they reached the kitchen where he choose to sit at the small table that was usually reserved for the servants. “How long have you been with us now, Ambrulle?”
</span><br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“I cannot say I have tallied the years, sir. My life with you and Master Remy has been a pleasant one. The years only need be counted when the memories are unhappy ones, sir.”
</span><br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Revel reached across the table, laughing loudly, and set the percolator on the silver breakfast tray.“Is it French Roast this morning?” He asked.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“No sir, given how much alcohol Master Remy consumed last evening, I made the choice to brew coffee that is a bit more robust. It is recently arrived yesterday from Jamaica.”
</span><br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The aroma filled the kitchen with a hearty bouquet that was somewhat pungent and slightly sweet. Royal Street was beginning to bustle as the city awoke. The sounds of women chatting as their laundry was hung on the balconies filled the air along with the scent of fine cigars being smoked by their husbands as they stood outside.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Ambrulle placed two linen napkins on the tray before handing it to Revel.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Thank you, Ambrulle, I do not know if it is said enough, but you are our family.”
</span><br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Thank you sir, I shall be along with Master Remy’s suit in an hour.”
</span><br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Revel’s thoughts drifted while ascending the stairs, considering how much longer they would remain in the French Quarter. It seemed they had outlived their welcome in the heart of New Orleans and were now nothing but relics. Few of the people they had once known were still alive, even fewer had stayed on in the city since the outbreak.

<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hargrove Perth writes dark romance, horror, and young adult horror. Her inspiration comes from the classic authors of the Victorian era who pushed the borders of writing through their semi-erotic dark novels. With a penchant for writing all things dark, her novels are an unusual blend of historical and fictional characters set in the past where her creations come to life in ways un-imaginable. A resident of the Mid-West, she refers to herself as a bit of a gypsy, never residing in one place too long to get bored. She currently has two books published with four more due to be released in 2014 and is an Amazon Top 100 Seller as well as an Award Winning Author.</span></div>

The only family he's ever trusted has been the Devil's Dust motorcycle club. He will do anything for a brother; even kill. In fact, killing is so easy, he's made a career of it. His one regret is not being able to kill his own worthless mother. When Dani shows up with her provocative temper and innocent charm, Shadow begins to question his violent lifestyle. But can he trust her with his demons?</span></div>

<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">M.N. Forgy was raised in Missouri where she still lives with her family. She's a soccer mom by day and a saucy writer by night. M.N. Forgy started writing at a young age but never took it seriously until years later, as a stay-at-home mom, she opened her laptop and started writing again. As a role model for her children, she felt she couldn't live with the "what if" anymore and finally took a chance on her character's story. So, with her glass of wine in hand and a stray Barbie sharing her seat, she continues to create and please her fans.</span></div>

<h3>
synopsis</h3>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As a regular at gay hotspot Pot O Gold, Ezra Kelley avoids his tangled emotions with the simplicity of one-night stands and attachment-free hookups. Until the night bartender Donner Davis picks him up off the floor after a misunderstanding and too much tequila. Ezra can’t remember the last time someone was…nice. It’s more than he deserves.
</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Witnessing his lover’s death two years ago has Donner trapped in a holding pattern: living in his sister’s basement, working at the Pot and flirting with the customers. He’s not above spending a night with the gorgeous Ezra, but love is not in the cards. That’s more than he’s ready for.</span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">A passionate night leads to a connection neither man expects, and they take the first steps to something that looks like a real relationship. But Ezra’s been running from himself so long he doesn’t know how to live any other way. And Donner can’t risk his heart just to lose everything again. They’ll both need the strength to let go of the past if they want to get it right this time.</span></div>

excerpt</span></h3>
</div>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">[Ezra] listened to the footsteps on the stairs moving closer, getting louder, timing it so he whipped open the door with Donner’s knuckles poised to knock. Donner still wore his black leather pants and shiny green shirt, but he’d washed his face free of eyeliner and lip gloss.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Hey,” Donner said. His hand dropped. His other was clutching the strap of a backpack that looked as old as dirt and ready to fall apart.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Come in.” Ezra stepped aside and let him enter. “I should warn you, they’re at it already.”

<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Huh?” Donner glanced at the living room. “Oh, I see.”
</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Do you mind?”
</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Not a bit. I’ve seen more risqué things at the Pot, believe me.”
</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“You’ll have to tell me all about it sometime.”
</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Sure thing.”
</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Want something to drink?”
</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“No, I’m fine.”
</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Ezra’s mind raced for something clever or sexy to say. He’d looked forward to this all night, and now that Donner was in his apartment, he was fumbling like an idiot. This was not him.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Oh, hey!” Alessandro sat up and twisted his head around. The position made him sway a little. “Look, babe, Dasher’s here.”
</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Donner,” Jaime said. He wrestled out from beneath his boyfriend, shirt rucked up to his armpits. “Hey, you made it.”
</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Dude, what’s your first name?”
</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Jaime knuckled Alessandro in the shoulder. “Shut up. You’re drunk.”
</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“So?”
</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Ignore him,” Ezra said to Donner. “Actually, feel free to ignore both of them.”
</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Donner chuckled. “They’re pretty entertaining, if you ask me.”
</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Wait until they start showing off.”
</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Forget it.” Alessandro started tugging Jaime toward the spare bedroom. “He’s all mine tonight, amigo. You’ve got your own date.”
Jaime managed a faux-helpless shrug as he allowed himself to be manhandled into the bedroom. The door shut with a solid bang that made Ezra jump. Then he snickered. So much for manners. He understood the sentiment, though. He didn’t much feel like sharing D</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">onner with anyone else.
Strong arms slid around his waist from behind and laced fingers across his belly. A solid chest and abs pressed against his back and ass, and breath tickled his ear. The hold was loose, the intentions clear. “You want to fuck me, don’t you?” Donner whispered, mouth hovering close to his left ear.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Ezra shivered.

about the author</h3>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A.M. Arthur was born and raised in the same kind of small town that she likes to write about, a stone's throw from both beach resorts and generational farmland. She's been creating stories in her head since she was a child and scribbling them down nearly as long, in a losing battle to make the fictional voices stop. She credits an early fascination with male friendships (bromance hadn't been coined yet back then) and "The Young Riders" with her later discovery of and subsequent love affair with m/m romance stories.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">When not exorcising the voices in her head, she toils away in a retail job that tests her patience and gives her lots of story fodder. She can also be found in her kitchen, pretending she's an amateur chef and trying to not poison herself or others with her cuisine experiments.

synopsis</h3>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Twenty years ago young Brian Arlington, heir to Arlington fortune, was kidnapped. Though the ransom was paid, the boy was never seen again and is presumed dead. Pierce Mather, the family lawyer, now administers and controls the Arlington billions. He’s none too happy, and more than a little suspicious, when investigative journalist Griffin Hadley shows up to write about the decades-old mystery. Griff shrugs off the coldly handsome Pierce’s objections, but it might not be so easy to shrug off the objections of someone willing to do anything to keep the past buried.

synopsis</h3>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Devon McCade is no stranger to adversity. As a photojournalist, he’s seen all manner of human struggle. And as a kid, it’s what brought him to Neverwood, to his foster mother Audrey. It’s what he’s facing now, as he and his foster brothers work to restore the once-stately mansion amidst surprising signs from Audrey herself.
</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">But when another anguished soul arrives at Neverwood, Devon can’t hide behind his camera. Nicholas Hardy is certain he saw his runaway son, Robbie, in a photo Devon took of homeless children. Devon knows all too well that a young teenager on the streets doesn’t have many options—and Robbie has been missing for a full year.</span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Searching for Robbie with Nicholas stirs memories and passions Devon had thought long lost, yet knowing that Nicholas will leave as soon as Robbie is found keeps him from opening himself up to something permanent. Devon must learn to fight for what he wants to keep—his love, and his home.</span></div>

about the author</h3>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Libby glimpsed her true calling when her first story, an A.A. Milne /Shakespeare crossover, won the grand prize in her elementary school's fiction contest. Her parents explained that writers were quirky, poor, and often talked to themselves in supermarket checkout lines. They implored her to be practical, a request she took to heart for twenty years, earning two degrees, a white-collar job, and an ulcer, before realizing that practical was absolutely no fun.
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Today she lives with her husband and four children in an old, impractical house and writes stories about redemption, the supernatural, and love at first sight, all of which do exist. She happens to know from experience.
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Libby’s State of Mind received rave reviews for being fast, clever, and relentless and was nominated for a Bookie Award for Best M/M Novel of 2011. 40 Souls to Keep, Libby’s third novel, has been described as intense and heart-poundingly good and was praised by Publishers Weekly for maintaining a high level of suspense.

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">William Drake has lived among thieves, bastards and beggars all his life, doing what’s necessary to survive. As a young orphan, that included looking after his best friend, Jack Morgan. But as they grew older, Jack took the honest path, leaving Will behind to fend for himself the only ways he knows how.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">When an unsavory errand for his employer brings Jack back to London’s underbelly, he needs Will’s help. It’s there, among the alleys they ran through as children, that the love he’s always felt for Will returns. As their nights together grow hotter, Will discovers something new about his old friend—Jack’s need to serve extends into the bedchamber.</span></div>

<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Will has never fully abandoned his dream of escaping London with Jack. But what could the Duke’s driver want with a dishonest cheat like him, beyond a bit of rough sex? It takes the gamble of Will’s life to find out if he can win Jack’s heart…</span></div>

<h3>
excerpt</h3>
</div>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The sky opened up, the intermittent raindrops shifting to a full-fledged deluge in the blink of an eye.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">A quick glance confirmed what he already knew—closed shops and darkened buildings, not a single tavern or hell within easy distance. Cold rain pelted Jack’s head, soaking his hair. And Will wasn’t wearing an overcoat.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Grabbing Will’s upper arm, Jack pulled him down a narrow alley. Pushed Will onto a small stone stoop, the short overhang above the door enough to provide a bit of protection for Will from the full force of the rain. Standing before Will, Jack used his body to shield Will from the gusts of windblown rain.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Lightning cracked across the sky, briefly illuminating Will’s face, his wet hair stuck to his forehead, pale cheeks glistening with raindrops. A self-deprecating smile tugged the edge of his lips. “Guess you were correct.”
</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“About what?” Jack asked, raising his voice to be heard above the din of the storm.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“The rain.”
</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Said rain smacked against Jack’s back. His greatcoat would keep him relatively dry, but he could feel the rain whipping around him. He unbuttoned his greatcoat, let the sides hang open, and bracing his arms on the old wooden door, he moved closer to Will. So close he could feel Will’s breaths against his jaw. Warm and moist, the rhythm deep yet slightly quick.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Arousal curled in the pit of his belly, ignited in his blood. Jack shifted his weight. “Shouldn’t last long. The rain, I mean.” Rain in London was a common enough occurrence, but storms of this magnitude didn’t last endless hours. The clouds would wear themselves out soon enough, and the rain would taper down to a steady, soaking drone. As soon as it showed the first signs of slowing, Jack would be dragging Will back to the hotel. And he didn’t much care if it meant running down the street. Anything to give him an excuse to step away from Will’s body, from those hot breaths bathing his jaw, tempting him to dip his head and press his lips to Will’s.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“You’re likely correct. Yet again.” There wasn’t a trace of sarcasm or jest. Will’s voice was just loud enough to reach Jack’s ears, and the low, intimate quality went straight to Jack’s cock.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">There was a quick snap of lightning, followed by a clap of thunder. Will shifted even closer, moving full into the protection of Jack’s greatcoat, pressing up against Jack. A hard arch brushed Jack’s upper thigh.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Jack’s breaths caught. There was no mistake about it. Will was aroused.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">A hand settled on Jack’s hip. Jack swore he could feel the heat of Will’s palm through his trousers and his smallclothes, warming his skin.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">He held himself perfectly still. Locked his muscles and dared not make a move.

<h3>
synopsis</h3>
</div>
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A sexy cowgirl gives a rugged Texas loner the ride of his life in USA Today bestselling author Tina Leonard’s seductive new series.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #f9cb9c;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Ava Buchanan dreams of a career on the rodeo circuit. Winning a spot on a one-of-a-kind team would be her ticket to the life she’s always wanted. Ava won’t let anyone stand in her way—not even a stubborn cowboy whose slow-molasses smile and red-hot swagger set her senses aflame . . . and whose talents as a trainer could make her a star. Rodeo might be a man’s game, but Ava knows the right woman’s touch can tame the wildest heart.
</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #f9cb9c;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Trace Carter believes his mayor’s plan to raise the town’s profile has disaster written all over it, and he won’t allow the Hell’s Outlaws Training Center to be dragged into the fiasco. Yet watching Ava’s delectable body on horseback proves too much of a temptation, and his fantasies stray to her riding skills outside the arena. Soon Trace is fighting like hell to rein in his unbridled desire for the petite brunette before it becomes a passion hotter than the Texas sun.

excerpt</h3>
</div>
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Now is not the time. If we’re here it’s for a good reason.” He ran a hand down the back of his neck.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Kenny rested his glass on the table. “Listen to your boyfriend before you piss me off.”
</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I opened my mouth to say more but stopped.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“You think I give a shit about the bartender hearing you talk about the dead body in my trunk?” He cocked his head sideways, several heads turned.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“She’s done.” Slade touched my arm. “She won’t say another god damn thing.”
</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I shut my mouth when his hand slammed down on the table, the hand that killed my dad.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Kenny put an arm around me and pointed across the room. “See the blonde?”
</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I searched the crowd of drunks and found a skinny blonde wiping a table.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“She’s the girl who can bring your daddy back to life. Unless of course you’ve changed your mind and want us to dump him on the side of the road somewhere.”
</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I pulled away from his fingers toying with my hair. “I haven’t changed my mind.”
</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Alright, work your magic.”
</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I waited for Slade to stand.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Why can’t you go ask her?” I looked at Kenny. He made everything so complicated.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“I don’t know why I didn’t think about that.” He nodded at the bartender and took his glass. “Oh that’s right. She hates me.”
I sighed. “Doesn’t everyone?”
</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Slade interrupted us. “What’s the issue?”
</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“I sort of beat the shit out of her husband and threatened to make the rest of her life miserable.” He shrugged.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“And you think we can convince her to help?” I rolled my eyes. “By the way is there anyone that can stand you or do you like it that way?”
</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Slade shook his head.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Kenny raised an eyebrow. “I love how even though you know I hold your dad’s life in my hands you’re willing to talk shit to me. It’s kind of a turn on.”
</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I swallowed.

<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Slade sat his beer on the table. “I said we would help. I didn’t say I’d let you sexually harass my girl.”
</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“You call it sexual harassment. I call it foreplay.”
</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I grabbed my drink the sweat soaking my fingers. “What are we supposed to say to her?”
</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Say whatever you need to, do whatever you need to. Just get her to agree to a meeting.” Kenny downed his. “And do it fast she’s off soon.”

<h3>
synopsis</h3>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Mia the saint.
Kolton the sinner.
</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Kolton Royce is a tatted, bad boy rock star at the top of his game.
Mia Phoenix is an overly responsible nineteen-year-old striving for stardom since losing her parents in a house fire.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">When Mia ends up on Kolton’s team for the debut of the new nationwide singing competition, The Stage, she’s not sure if it’s her or her voice that he’s hellbent to control.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">After he takes special interest in her welfare, they’ve been warned, any contact between them outside of filming is strictly forbidden.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">He has other ideas.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">She’s a phoenix rising from the ashes, the only one who understands the pain that lies beneath the persona. Though he’s not sure if he’s too bad for her, he can’t stay away.</span></div>
<br />
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; text-align: center;">All sinners have a past. All saints have a future. But, does being born in fire make the fissures weak in all the wrong places, or stronger than they’ve ever known?</span><br />

<h3>
excerpt</h3>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><b><u>Chemistry
</u></b></span></div>
<br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Kole,” I whisper, and feel him shiver as I push my stomach up against his knees.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Mia, if you don’t move back to your seat—”
</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“What, Kole? What will happen?” And when I call him that again his eyes shut, his legs tense up as I push up against them with my stomach. He opens his legs; his hand comes up from his thigh and moves to my lower back. His eyes move to mine as I slide in up to his chest. It’s so intimate, the way he’s touching me, and he smells so good. Slowly, his other hand moves up to cradle my neck.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“A kiss,” he whispers, pulling me closer. “Just a kiss and then we stop,” he says, his breath warm on my face. I nod my head as he bites his lip again, his gaze on my mouth. It feels like slow motion as he moves in, tilting his head to the left.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">When his lips meet mine, they feel softer than I’d expected. His lips are wet and soft. Needy. They take and take, and I’m struggling to keep up with his pace. His tongue finds mine and the sensation tingles down my spine, all the way to my feet. I want more. I can’t get enough of his lips. His gifted tongue makes me feel like fire’s inside me forcing itself through the pores of my skin. And I know, until this moment, I’ve never truly been kissed. Not like this.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">As we suckle each other’s lips, and moan, and lick, his hand moves down and cups me, his fingers moving in from behind to the hallow spot between my thighs. I push into his fingers, trying to find some relief from all of this physical teasing. He pulls me up onto his lap, legs spread, knees hitting the back seat. He finds my neck, nips and sucks—giving me a moment to catch my breath as he flicks his tongue all the way up to behind my ear. Under me, I feel his length filling out, trying to reach me through our clothes. My lips feel swollen and raw as the air inside the car starts to remind me his mouth has just been there.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Possessively, he moves his lips down my chest until he reaches the curve of my cleavage. Then I feel teeth sinking into the soft flesh there. I gasp, shove both hands in his hair. My head flings backward. One of his hands is kneading and feeding me into his mouth. The other is still pushing against the seam in my jeans, forcing me to rock into his swollen length to ease the building pressure. The sounds I’m making sound foreign to me. Primal.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Then, he growls. His hands move up to the collar of my shirt. I feel pressure and hear a loud rip. When I look down, my shirt’s completely open and tattered. My bra is pushed down so the cup is lifting my left breast up and out.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Kolton pulls away, pushing me at the same time as if I’m something he doesn't’ want anymore. With his long fingers, he gently pulls my bra back up, covering my breast, and then hastily yanks the tattered seems of my shirt together. The look on his face is shock. Anger. Disgust.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Kolton?” I ask. “What’s wrong?” He doesn’t answer me, and he won’t look at me, his chest is moving up and down as he’s trying to catch his breath. I touch my swollen lips, as my eyebrows furrow together. I move off of his lap and push my back into the corner of the seat, as far away from him as I can get.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Why is he ignoring me? Why is he so disgusted by me? The car stops, and I realize we’re at the Wilshire Thayer. Kolton rolls down the partition glass.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Can you pull us into the garage?” he asks Devon, unable to mask the emotion in his voice.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Sure thing,” Devon responds. I didn’t know there was a parking garage here. As Devon drives through the garage entrance and down under the building, I pull my knees up to my chest and squeeze my eyes shut.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I feel the car stop and then hear Kolton say, “Devon, can you go upstairs and get me a jacket for Mia?”
</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Yes,” he says, as I open my eyes and watch Devon walk toward the elevator door. I’m shaking with adrenaline, breathless, still completely turned on, swollen and achy for him—which makes me seethe.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“I don’t want you getting out of the car with your shirt open like that,” Kolton says, his face is stone cold, and he’s now resting his knuckles on his lips. I don't respond. I hate him right now. I just want to be as far away from him as I can be. I contemplate just running out of the car, but I’m sure he’d chase me. It’d make it worse for me if we made a scene and someone took a picture or something.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">No, he won’t chase me, I think, but I don’t want anyone to see me like this with my shirt ripped open, so I wait. Kolton adjusts himself in his pants. When I look down, he’s still obviously aroused, but why, then—why push me away? Did I do something wrong. That was the opposite of frigid. I’ve never felt like that before. Ever.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Why did you want to kiss me?” he asks. He seems so genuine, but I hate him so I don’t answer. “Answer me.”
</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“I don’t know. You were talking about your mom—I.” I look down, confused.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“I went too far,” he whispers. “But this is not your fault.”
</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“You’re right. You went too far—and I want off your team next week.” To this, his eyes shut. I wipe a humiliated-tear from my cheek. The door opens and Devon hands Kolton a leather jacket from his room-sized closet collection.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I reach to take it, but Kolton moves his arm away so I can’t. “Just a minute,” he says, sliding forward and motioning for me to scoot my back away from the inside of the car.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“No.”
</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Just—do what I say for once. They you can get away from me. Okay? Lean forward.”
</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">When I do, I feel his warm breath as he wraps the jacket around my shoulders. I take a deep breath. It smells of him. Cologne, and Kolton. All man.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Gently, he coaxes me to put my arms in. It makes my heart ache. He’s so gentle with me, like I’m a porcelain doll with a hairline crack.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">He cautiously moves my hair off my face and then pulls the length of my hair out of the back of the jacket. I watch his long fingers as he feeds the zipper in, moving it slowly up my front. I’m tingling and aching for him again. “I’ll think about your request,” he says, his voice soft, controlled. “But the team you’re on at the end of next week will be up to me.”
</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“I’m moving out of your apartment,” I say. I don’t know where I’m going, but I’m not staying here under his control anymore.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“What about Riley?” he asks. “Deloris is my employee and she’s going to take care of Riley in my apartment.” He knows I have nothing. I can’t really leave. He knows I need him.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“It’s just a few more weeks until I go back to Sac. What are you going to do then?” His jaw twitches and he glares at me.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“You’ll have to come back. It’s just a few months off. Deloris will be with you.” But he looks worried about it.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“I will never trust you, Kolton. Never,” I say, and watch his face change in front of me. I know that hurts him. “Because you’re an asshole. A controlling asshole,” I say, forcing myself away from the heat of his body. I purposely sever the draw of my soul to his, find the door handle, and bolt out. My heels clicking as I run atop the concrete floor of the parking garage. I’m frantically tapping the button for the elevator when I hear him approaching me from behind.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I keep my back to him. When the doors open, I step inside. As the doors are closing behind me, I turn and catch a glimpse of Kolton standing there, helplessly watching me leave. The look on his face is pure conflict, pain, and remorse.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The doors press together, closing him out, and I’m pulled upward. What have we done? I’m drenched in his scent, lips swollen and body singing from his hands having been all over me. Do I even want to try and understand him when I can barely understand myself? He’ll burn me. Consume me. I know I have to protect myself. But with every interaction, he’s making that harder to do.

Synopsis:</h3>
<em>Love is ugly and secrets will destroy you.</em>
<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">KAT</span></strong>
<br />
<br />
I don’t beg.
I don’t cry.
And I don’t give second chances.
<br />
<br />
Ream, the lead guitarist of the rock band Tear Asunder, deserves a gold medal for best dick move ever when he ran the moment he discovered my secret after two days of hot sex. Then he brings some chick to my coming home party from the hospital—after being shot.
I hate him.
<br />
<br />
Until …
<br />
<br />
Ream’s six foot two frame unfolds out of the car after being gone on tour for eight months. I stared. And in my defense, any girl would stare. It would almost be rude not to because Ream was the type of guy who stood out. Not because he was loud and obnoxious. No, it was because he was the complete opposite. Subtle and dangerously quiet. If he spoke, you’d better hope he liked you because otherwise you’d be falling at his feet begging for mercy. Except me … I don’t beg—ever.
But when our eyes locked, it was Ream’s steady confidence that had my nerves shooting off like jet sprinklers.
<br />
<br />
Then…
<br />
<br />
Ream told me he didn’t need a second chance because he was still working on his first.
<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">REAM</span></strong>
<br />
<br />
Sex is ugly. It’s using someone for your own narcissistic pleasure. I did it and I hated it—until her. She was unfuckinexpected. Then I had to wreck our beginning with my screwed up past.
I don’t deserve her, but I’m selfish and I’m taking her anyway. This is who I am and it’s too late to change me.

When a book proclaims to be dark and filled with angst, I sometimes become a little skeptical. Maybe that's because every author out there seems to be using that label now. The good news is, <em><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18404707-overwhelmed-by-you" target="_blank"><span style="color: red; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Overwhelmed By You</b></span></a></em> truly is a dark and angsty novel. It was quite an intense read and the first book I've read by <a href="http://nashodarose.com/" target="_blank">Nashoda Rose</a>. Although <i><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18404707-overwhelmed-by-you" target="_blank"><span style="color: red; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Overwhelmed by You</b></span></a></i>, book 2 in the <em>Tear Asunder</em> series is technically a standalone, I found the beginning of the story very confusing. It felt like the author just throws you in and you are expected to understand who these characters are and their troubled history together. Obviously the story does smooth out and things start to make sense, but I found myself wishing that I had read <i><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18068029-torn-from-you" target="_blank"><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Torn From You</b></span></a></i> first for an easier transition.<br />
<br />
After two days of explosive sex, Ream is ready to explore things further with Kat. Sex has always been meaningless and completely on <i><u>his</u></i> terms because of his horrific past. But Kat makes him feel things, allows her to do things in the bedroom that he would never allow with another woman. But that all comes to a crashing halt when he sees a needle come flying out of Kat's bag and instantly flies into a rage thinking she is an addict. And Ream doesn't do addicts. Kat is hurt and pissed off that Ream won't give her the chance to explain, that not all is what it seems. Once he does find out what the needles are for, Kat is beyond forgiveness and Ream has no choice but to put their tumultuous relationship on hold as he goes on tour with his band<i> Tear Asunder</i>. Eight months later, he returns and while Kat has spent the time apart building up her defenses and preparing for verbal sparring, Ream completely does the unexpected. He confesses that there is definitely something between them and he refuses to ignore their magnetic pull. Kat is in for a rude awakening because once Ream puts his mind to something, there is no going back..<br />
<br />
Without giving away a major spoiler, one of the things I really liked is how the author didn't shy away from giving one of her main characters-- in this case Kat-- a serious illness/disease. Many authors will try to build suspense by giving a character an illness or ailment but when it is finally revealed, you're left feeling disappointed. Oh, the character has an ingrown toe nail? That's it? Haha, okay maybe it is not that lame, but you get my point. In <i><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18404707-overwhelmed-by-you" target="_blank"><span style="color: red; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Overwhelmed By You</b></span></a></i>, Kat's illness is serious and because of this element, it makes her more realistic and human, more relatable as a character.<br />
<br />
Since I am on the topic of Kat, I really love her strength-- and her connection with horses. She's stubborn but not naive-- she actually reminds me a little of myself. I may not have a disease but I've had many medical conditions, surgeries at a young age. Kat never cries, she can't afford to break down and she is always used to being the strong one. That's exactly how I used to be. I never wanted anyone to treat me differently, just like Kat. Another interesting aspect about her character is when her face gets cut and plastic surgery never crosses her mind. After being attacked, she is rushed to the hospital and has several ugly cuts on her face. I thought to myself, well she can always go get plastic surgery. Why is she stressing over it? But strangely enough, it never pops up in the story. Kat carries the scars proudly, a survivor, to match the ones on Ream's back. I thought that sent a very powerful message.<br />
<br />
Ream--where do I start? I'm not going to lie. At first I did think he was a d*ckhead, but as the story unfolded and the puzzle pieces started clicking into place, I realized Ream has many, many layers, that the wall he has built around himself as a form of protection is damn near impenetrable. This man has major baggage, skeletons in his closet that even I was scared to know about. Recently, I read a book with a similar hero (Rex from <b><i>Fighting to Forget</i></b> by JB Salsbury) and prayed <a href="http://nashodarose.com/" target="_blank">Nashoda</a> was going to be able to give a different twist to this type of character-- apparently I had nothing to worry about. Ream was quite swoon worthy even though you wanted to throat punch him a few times because of his attitude. When you find out that he spent every moment he could while he was on tour to learn about Kat's illness, visiting doctors from city to city-- that his disappearance acts after shows was not him running off to sleep with random girls--totally made my heart melt. Ream is very dominant and possessive, but it totally makes sense once you learn why. I also enjoyed how he tried to break down Kat's walls. He knows she is strong and independent, but he also knows what kind of burden it can be to try to carry it all on your own. He wants to prove to her that she isn't alone, that if she wants to cry, yell, scream, even feel sorry for herself, that it is okay and natural. However, I understood Kat's frustration-- how is it fair that Ream expects her to open up when he won't?<br />
<br />
If you haven't guessed it already, the chemistry between Ream and Kat is explosive. Literally. They are both stubborn people. Kat isn't afraid or intimidated by Ream's dominant behavior and I love when she puts him in his place. There is no denial between them-- they have no doubt that they will argue and disagree frequently, but look forward to making up. They are a completely believable, realistic couple because they knew they have issues and that they are going to have to work on their relationship. Oh, and did I forget to mention the sex between them is out of this world hot?<br />
<br />
I think what makes <i><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18404707-overwhelmed-by-you" target="_blank"><span style="color: red; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Overwhelmed By You</b></span></a></i> stand out even more is <a href="http://nashodarose.com/" target="_blank">Nashoda Rose's</a> ability to create interesting secondary characters. They play a HUGE role in this book, which tells me they will do so in the next. Ream's bandmates are more like a family to him. Logan is almost like the patriarch--dominant, alpha, what he says is law--getting glimpses of Logan throughout <i><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18404707-overwhelmed-by-you" target="_blank"><span style="color: red; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Overwhelmed By You</b></span></a></i> defnitely made me want to stop so I could go read <i><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18068029-torn-from-you" target="_blank"><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Torn From You</b></span></a></i> which is his and Emily's story. Then there is Ream's best friend Crisis who is the comedian/manwhore of the bunch. But I absolutely love him because of his loyalty. Okay, and because he is funny as hell! Kite is quite interesting as well, a little mysterious--I definitely can't wait to see who he gets paired up with. Then you have Deck. Oh my. My absolute favorite hands down. His book is next which I believe is a spinoff and let me tell you...Georgie is supposed to be his heroine. She is bubbly and sweet-- Deck is so serious, the ultimate alpha male. I can only imagine how hot their story is going to be. If you want a little taste of Deck, check out the excerpt I posted below.<br />
<br />
Here is what I had problems with. Other than mentioning that Ream is over 6 feet tall, has some tattoos, and pink hair, there is no real description of what he actually looks like. Does he have long pink hair, short pink hair? What kind of tattoos? Authors need to remember that the characters are in their head. Their job is to create a vision for us.<br />
<br />
I have a couple of pet peeves, one is consistency. Kat gets beat up really badly, kicked in the ribs, choked, face cut up. She is in the hospital, in and out of consciousness for a couple of days. Ream gets this idea to take her away so they have time to deal with their problems. But what drives me crazy is she was beat up so badly, yet there is no mention of her bruises or soreness (other then her face). It's one thing if they waited a couple of weeks to go on this little trip, but they go straight from the hospital. I guess what I am trying to say is, authors need to be more aware of timing and do the proper medical research. The scene where Kat is attacked was brutal to read, so for me, it made no sense that she was able to walk around, go swimming, etc. if she was hurt that bad.<br />
<br />
Another pet peeve of mine is when an author makes a character vomit and they forget to have them brush their teeth. Then the next thing you know they are kissing another character and it kills me, because all I keep thinking about is ewww, she just threw up!!! Don't kiss her! I know this may be a strange thing to complain about but I have read so many romances where the heroine vomits and then her and the hero are making out. Most authors will remember, but unfortunately, there is a scene where Kat has emptied her stomach a few times, her and Ream are in the bathroom, and he kisses her...*shudders* I'll leave it at that.<br />
<br />
The story starts out in Ream's POV. Then it switches to Kat's perspective and that is where it stays. I found this a little disappointing. Yes, at the beginning of each chapter are little snippets of Ream's dreams or past, but it's not the same. I think the story could have been more effective if we were able to see more through his eyes.<br />
<br />
<i><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18404707-overwhelmed-by-you" target="_blank"><span style="color: red; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Overwhelmed By You</b></span></a></i> was quite a roller coaster ride. I won't say that it was completely original, BUT there is a quality to <a href="http://nashodarose.com/" target="_blank">Nashoda Rose's</a> writing that is unique and refreshing. She writes interesting characters and she isn't afraid to push them to the brink of darkness. While there were a few things that were predictable, she also threw in a few shocker moments. I definitely will be going back to read <i><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18068029-torn-from-you" target="_blank"><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Torn From You</b></span></a></i>, book 1 and I absolutely cannot wait to read Deck and Georgie's story in <i><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/20560509-perfect-chaos?ac=1" target="_blank"><span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b>Perfect Chaos</b></span></a></i>.<br />

<span style="color: red; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><b>Excerpt</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">"You love him?"</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Now that was a surprising question coming from Deck. I did't think he would even know about the emotion love. "He cheated on me."</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">"Harsh for a girl who cheated her best friend the truth for seven years."</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">"What?" Clifford started shifting his feet and pulling on the crossties. "What the hell, Deck. This isn't my problem. I didn't promise to love someone, care for them, protect them, and then shit all over them. That wasn't me. He did this. Don't you dare turn this around on me." Screw his scariness and the way his jaw clenched. Screw all of this. I went to walk past him but he grabbed my arm and pulled me back around.</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">"I didn't tell you that fuckin' story for the hell of it. No one knows that fuckin' story. No one except you now. He didn't cheat on you." I jerked, but it only pissed him off more and tightened his grip as he repeated, "He didn't cheat on you."</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">"I saw--"</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">"I don't give a fuck what you saw. Ream would never cheat on you. It's not in his makeup."</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">"Well, maybe, Deck...you think a little too highly of yourself to really know what the truth is this time."</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">"Probably do, but even if we bet on that <i><u>point</u></i> one percent chance I'm wrong, you owe it to him. You know why? Because he gave you more than he has anyone, and after his fucked up past, that was damn hard for him to do. Now you're going to save him because I have no doubt he needs saving right now. He should've crumbled down a real bad path a long time ago, but he didn't. For some reason he came back from that shit and found you. I'm not wrong, he'd never ruin that."</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">"You don't know that."</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">"Damn right I do." His harsh voice hit me--hard. "Let's go."</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">"Now?"</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">"I have men in the fuckin' desert waiting on me to get back so we can go in and kill some motherfucker who tortures innocent women and children. So yeah. Now. Car in five minutes."</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">He strode out of the barn.</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Shit...</span><br />

<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Nashoda Rose lives in Toronto with her assortment of pets. She writes contemporary romance with a splash of darkness, or maybe it’s a tidal wave. Her novella "With You" is the first in the Tear Asunder series, followed by the novel "Torn from You" and "Overwhelmed by You".
When she isn’t writing, she can be found sitting in a field reading with her dog at her side while her horses graze nearby. She loves interacting with her readers on Facebook and chatting about her addiction—books.

<h3>
synopsis</h3>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Leila Sepehri, an ambitious and brilliant student determined to cure cancer, is murdered during her final semester at college, yet discovers she’s been reborn as a spirit, resigned to haunt a school that can no longer see or hear her. The following semester, incoming freshman Alejandro Velásquez arrives on campus, eager to reinvent himself after eighteen years of awkwardness, as well as a devastating family tragedy, shake his sense of worth and faith to their cores.
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The two lonely souls meet under the auspice of moonlit rain, and soon find themselves passionately, irrevocably attracted to each other. Leila discovers her spiritual body reawakening with sensations that make her feel alive once again, and Alejandro discovers a kindred spirit who understands his pain like no one else. The fast friends become intense lovers, and become determined to find a way to hold onto their own private miracle forever.
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Yet troublesome questions linger. How can Alejandro possibly explain to skeptical friends and family that his soul-mate is a ghost? Why does Leila get the nagging suspicion that their relationship might hold the key to understanding her existence as a spirit? Intoxicated with each other, Leila and Alejandro evade these questions, only to have them explode once an act of evil causes both of them to clearly see the true meaning of their destiny together. Will their love give them the courage to accept a destiny that surpasses time and perhaps even God, or is their love destined to die loud and young?</span></div>

<h3>
synopsis</h3>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I don’t sleep until my body gives me no choice. I go until the last drop of energy is zapped from my bones and my muscles are too weak to keep my eyes from closing. Only then am I able to achieve true peace: A slumber without dreams, without memories of my real life nightmare. I thought I was escaping my past, finally running toward the future I deserved.
</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Until I met Ryan. One week with him had me questioning everything I was sure I wanted out of my life. Being with him means I can’t leave my past behind. Being without him might just kill me anyway.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">One week destroyed everything.
One Week shattered my dreams
One week I lived in the sun
But the darkness never truly fades.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Recommended for an adult audience due to language, violence, drug use, and sexual situations involving dubious consent.</span></div>

<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Josie Leigh is an independent author who focuses on writing Romance because she loves a story with a happy ending. Writing has been an escape for her from a very young age, and she cherishes the time she gets to spend with her characters. After graduating with a Bachelors degree in Nutrition in 2008, she pursued a challenging career in the field of nutrition insecurity and anti-hunger advocacy. She is grateful to be able to feed hungry families on a daily basis and chase her literary dreams in her off time. </span></div>

Synopsis:</h3>
<i>Love, betrayal and murder in a small town…</i>
<br />
<br />
Twelve years after her mother's murder, Shannon Bradford fears she may have helped convict an innocent man. Even worse, her prominent family may have had something to do with it. Desperate for answers, she seeks help from the one person least likely to give it. Her best friend and childhood crush, Trace Dawson. The man she sent to prison.
<br />
<br />
Serving hard time for murder has left Trace angry and bitter. As far as he's concerned, digging into the past won't replace the years he's lost or erase the hell he's lived. Now that he's free, Shannon Bradford tops his list of bad memories. But he never counted on falling in love.
<br />
<br />
Set in a sleepy little town during the dead of winter, this award-winning romance novel is a tale of one woman's quest for truth and a man's struggle to forgive.

<br />
The fascinating thing about being an avid reader is just when you think you've read every kind of story imaginable, one will totally creep up and catch you by surprise. I went into reading <i><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/20427806-within-temptation" target="_blank"><span style="color: #e69138; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Within Temptation</b></span></a></i> thinking it was going to be an erotic contemporary romance mixed in with a little "whodunit"/suspense. What it actually turned out to be is a well crafted mystery, and the romance/love story was the icing on the cake. While this may sound like a turn off to those readers looking for a hot romance, don't let my words discourage you. <i><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/20427806-within-temptation" target="_blank"><span style="color: #e69138; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Within Temptation</b></span></a></i> is one of those novels that has it all; I just wasn't expecting the mystery aspect of the story to be what captivated me more than the actual romance.</div>
<br />
Shannon Bradford and Trace Dawson have history...a connection thought dead and buried when she accused him of murdering her mother that puts him in prison for 12 years. But on the very day of his release, the two come face to face, and while he is bitter and she is wondering if she made the right call all those many years ago, it is quite obvious the flame between them is still there. The author does a great job building sexual chemistry between Trace and Shannon. Rather than tons of sex scenes, <a href="http://www.tanyaholmes.com/tanyaholmes/index.html" target="_blank">Holmes</a> uses some really hot "close encounters", a few self stimulation sessions (wink wink) that packed plenty of heat. I was really surprised that the couple didn't actually hit the sack until about the last 90 pages of the book (kindle/e-book pages) and I was absolutely okay with it. I think it is a fine art when an author can maintain sexual tension throughout the majority of a story before a major sex scene happens.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>"You don't know the first thing about humility."</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>"Really."</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>"Yes, 'really'. You're too full of yourself."</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>A slow, wicked grin eased across his lips. "Maybe so. But I'd bet the farm you wouldn't mind being full of me too."</b></span></div>
<br />
Trace was a very interesting hero. Intense, bitter, angry, sexually frustrated. Combine all of those things with a rough childhood and 12 years in the joint, and you have yourself a deeply layered character. Known as the "Butcher Boy" by the whole town, I really felt for him as he tried to adjust back into society.<br />
<br />
Many romantic mysteries are very predictable but I must give <a href="http://www.tanyaholmes.com/tanyaholmes/index.html" target="_blank">Tanya Holmes</a> credit--I was clueless until the very end. Every time I thought I had it figured out, someone else would start to look like a prime suspect. The story is so well written that it is extremely difficult for me to believe this is not only a debut novel, but that Holmes is considered an indie author. The caliber of her writing is right up there with veteran romance authors and it's quite shocking that this novel hasn't been picked up by a major publishing company. I suspect that this won't last long considering the crazy buzz <i><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/20427806-within-temptation" target="_blank"><span style="color: #e69138; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Within Temptation</b></span></a></i> is getting.<br />
<br />
I can't move on until I mention another interesting aspect of the novel which is the many themes that I came across while reading the story-- child abuse, mental illness, fear of aging, suppressed memory, hypnosis. With any other writer this could have been a hot mess. I've read plenty of books where authors try to cram pack so many topics that it becomes hard to focus on what the true purpose of the story is. <a href="http://www.tanyaholmes.com/tanyaholmes/index.html" target="_blank">Holmes</a> weaves these themes in seamlessly like a pro.<br />
<br />
While I am a huge fan of <i><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/20427806-within-temptation" target="_blank"><span style="color: #e69138; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Within Temptation</b></span></a></i>, there were a few things that bothered me. Overall, I liked Shannon and as her story unfolds, my sympathy grew--I am being vague so I can stay away from spoilers. However, her wishy washy attitude towards Trace annoyed me after awhile. Once she realizes that she may have made a mistake in accusing him of her mother's murder, it's like she expects him to just forgive her and jump at the chance to work with her to help clear his name. Trace spent TWELVE years in the prison! I think he has a right to be a mad, bitter, pissed off, even if it wasn't technically her fault.<br />
<br />
Another thing that didn't seem realistic is the timeline. Trace went to prison when he was 18-- yet he was a stripper, became an expert on dance, taught dance lessons in prison, knows how to work on cars, knows how to renovate a whole house, has several associates degrees (that he worked on while he was in the joint) -- how the hell did he learn all these things by 18 (aside from the associate degrees)? Especially while in high school and with an abusive childhood? Maybe if the author gave us some more background information on how he learned these skills, it would have been more believable.<br />
<br />
Lastly, again, Trace spent 12 years in prison but comes out and suffers no kind of PST. After watching shows like <i><a href="http://www.sundance.tv/series/rectify" target="_blank"><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>RECTIFY</b></span></a></i>--about a man who serves 19 years on death row for the murder of his high school girlfriend and later is released upon new DNA evidence--I became more aware of how traumatic it can be for inmates as they struggle to acclimate back into society after serving years in prison. Yes, the author does a good job of showing how the town reacts to Trace's release, calling him "Butcher Boy" and ostracizing him and the people that support him. However, it would have been more realistic if he had some kind of symptoms of PST, perhaps nightmares or panic attacks.<br />
<br />
<i><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/20427806-within-temptation" target="_blank"><span style="color: #e69138; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Within Temptation</b></span></a></i> is a smartly written mystery romance with plenty of nail biting suspense that keeps you riveted until the very end. I think this quote I found sums up the romance aspect of the novel: <i>"The sexual tension is high, and the burn is slow. Sex is character-driven, rather than plot-driven."</i> While there were a few minor issues dealing mostly with Trace and the believability of his many, many skills, the story is quite remarkable, especially when you have to keep reminding yourself that it was written by a debut author.

Excerpt</h3>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>The beginning notes of Nat King Cole's "Nature Boy" filled the silence. He nudged my chin up with a finger, and what I saw stole my breath. His eyes burned. Instinct made me back away until a wall appeared out of nowhere, and just as he'd done at the garage, he moved in on me. His muscles expanded when he rested his forearm above my head to box me in. Unlike the wall at my back, the wall of muscle in front of me didn't hold me steady, and the more I stared at it, the weaker I became.
Trace touched my mouth with his fingertip, pressing past the barrier of my lips until my teeth parted. My breath rushed in on a gasp as he penetrated and explored. All the while, he stared down at me, his intent sure. Before I could stop myself, I'd sucked and drawn his finger in deeper. He swore softly and his nostrils flared. After I realized what I'd done, I shamefully jerked my head away, dislodging him, but the seductive taste and feel of him remained.
</b></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>I obeyed, giving in to the carnal awareness whittling my breath down to short, audible pants. My heart stopped once he lifted his glistening finger and sucked it into his mouth. He kept his eyes trained on me while he lowered his hand to my lips and reverently painted his wetness across them. His chest expanded when I sampled his gift: warmth, sweetness, and fire. That's how he tasted. Like heaven and hell, darkness and light.

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>He hadn't kissed me, yet I knew his touch. Hadn't swept his tongue inside, yet I knew his taste. Hadn't done anything except toy with my mouth, but in my imagination he'd done everything and then some. Heat scalded my loins, made me ache so badly I wanted to cry, and like clockwork, the rain came, salving the blaze with a weepy dampness familiar to every woman.

<h3>
Author Interview</h3>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">1. <b><i>Within Temptation</i></b> is one of the best mystery romances I have ever read, mostly because it kept me guessing until the big reveal. What inspired you to write this story?
</span></div>
<br />
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Trace Dawson, actually. He (the hero in <i><b>Within Temptation</b></i>) came to me fully formed. I knew this guy from day one.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So where did he come from? What shaped his personality and circumstances? In looking back, I can think of several direct influences.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Book-wise, I'd say my biggest inspirations were <b><i>Lady Chatterley's Lover</i></b> by D.H. Lawrence and Catherine Cookson's <b><i>The Moth</i></b>. Both novels have an upper class/lower class H/h pairing that produced very juicy conflicts. These are characters who see the world through different eyes because they live in completely different worlds, yet their hearts come together despite these societal road blocks.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Other influences include film and TV. I'm a movie buff and I totally use actors for character inspiration. This is why I love movies, (especially older ones) because they provide a great creative well to drink from. For instance, Clive Owen's BMW Films' character was the physical model for Trace, but that evolved over time to the point where I began adding certain physical traits and personality ticks from various actors. I also started piecing together plot ideas.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">There was a film called <b><i>Captives</i></b> starring Tim Roth and Julia Ormond. Roth played the bad boy convict to Ormand's good girl. The differences between him and Trace Dawson are stark, especially when it comes to what Roth's character was convicted of (and admitted to doing)---but Roth's edginess intrigued me. He had a dark and gritty intensity in his performance that I wanted to capture on the page.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Another film that inspired me was <b><i>Past Midnight</i></b> starring Rutger Hauer and the late Natasha Richardson. This was a romantic suspense movie about a man convicted of killing his pregnant wife. Hauer's portrayal of the socially awkward ex-con was very nuanced, in that, although he had a darkness about him, he also had a sweetness that Tim Roth's character lacked. So that's what I drew from for Trace's softer side.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">And finally, there's Disney's <b><i>Sleeping Beauty</i></b> & <b><i>Snow White</i></b>. The whole evil queen/evil step-mother thing fascinated me because I always wondered what motivated them. With Snow White's villainess, vanity seemed to be her driving force, but it was a tad too one dimensional for me. They never really explained her deeper motivations. You know, like why was she so vain? What happened in her life to shape her unstable personality? Same with the villainess in <b><i>Sleeping Beauty</i></b>.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">After giving it some thought, I came up with: Fear of rejection. Fear of growing old. A need for control and a flawed sense of self-worth. Those seemed to be the likely deeper motivations for both Disney villainesses. And that's what I used to create Lilith. So as you can see, <b><i>Within Temptation</i></b> is a patchwork quilt of various influences. </span><br />
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">2. I was really surprised at the many themes I came across while reading <b><i>Within Temptation</i></b>--child abuse, mental illness, fear of aging, suppressed memory, hypnosis-- why did you incorporate these specific themes into the story? Were any of them written because of personal experience?</span></div>
<br />
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The seed for this story began as a study in class distinctions, and how the heart is blind to them, but that wasn't enough. I needed more.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Then Trace showed up.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I remember writing the initial draft of the first chapter in one sitting, feeling everything he felt. He was an angry, bitter ex-con who'd just been released from prison---that's all I had initially. So I had to figure out what he was so angry about. Sure being in prison can make you bitter, but his rage went deeper than that. It was all consuming. A character interview (which I usually don't do) provided the answer. That's when he told me Shannon had betrayed him in the worst possible way.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">As for personal experience, sure. Like most people, I know what betrayal and disappointment feels like. That was enough to get the creative juices flowing. The only other theme that I could directly relate to was the aging thing. There's a flashback scene with 40-year-old Lilith where she takes issue with a life insurance commercial. Well, that actually happened to me. :-)
</span><br />
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It was about 1 or 2 in the morning and I was watching a really awful <b><i>Dracula</i></b> movie when this life insurance commercial came on. I was like, really? Who the heck wants to think about that before they go to bed? lol It was surreal, and left an indelible impression on me. So I used it for Lilith and added a ton of crazy.
</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">3. At the end of <b><i>Within Temptation</i></b>, you tease us with a sneak peak of <b><i>Temptation's Edge</i></b>, book 2 in the <i>Sons of Temptation</i> series which can be read as a standalone. When can fans expect this next installment? Do you know how many more books are planned in the Sons of Temptation series?
</span></div>
<br />
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I'm currently writing Book 2 (<b><i>Temptation's Edge</i></b>). It's got a tentative 2015 release date. Unlike <b><i>Within Temptation</i></b>, which is romantic suspense, Temptation's Edge will be a straight contemporary romance.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The third book in the trilogy (<b><i>Beyond Temptation</i></b>) will also be a contemporary romance. The hero's name is Declan Michael North (Dex for short), but that could change. What I know so far is that he's British, rich, very cheeky, and he's an ex-porn star turned serious actor. I also know his troubled backstory and his secret agenda.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So what possible connection does an ex-porn star (and a Brit to boot) possibly have with Temptation, West Virginia?
</span><br />
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Stay tuned. :-) </span><br />

<h3>
synopsis</h3>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Casey Alexander grew up part of the Ravage Motorcycle family since the day she was abandoned by her mother and thrown into her father’s lap. Always seeing herself as an outsider, she spent her whole life trying to fit in, but never really succeeding. When she loses her beloved father, the utter aloneness engulfs her, leaving her searching for solace in the one man she’s always craved. Confessing her love for him only results in devastation when he pushes her away. Convinced she needs a fresh start, she leaves everything behind in order to mend her broken heart and begin building a future without him.
</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f9cb9c;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Gage Thomas (G.T.) Gavelson fell in love with his Angel when he was just a pint sized kid. Both beautiful and smart, he always felt she deserved so much better than him. Growing up beside her in the club only continued to test his will power, until one night, he gave into temptation. Realizing he couldn’t allow himself to hold her back from the life she deserved, he pushed her away, allowing her to believe she would never be enough for him. Letting her go had been the hardest thing he’d ever done. Even though he’d thought it’d been the right thing to do, not a day goes by that misery doesn’t consume him for it.</span></span></div>
<span style="color: #f9cb9c;">
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f9cb9c;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> When a tragic shootout occurs, everything changes as once again their lives are intermingled. When you find your way back to the one person you are meant to be with, forgiveness should be easy. But sometimes, we hurt each other too much to ever be able to forgive.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="color: #f9cb9c;">
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f9cb9c;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Is their love strong enough to heal their pain?</span></span></div>

<br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The morning air strikes across my skin as I step out of the clubhouse slowly walking to my car. I’ve had to say good-bye to Harlow twice now, but this one is by far the hardest. The weight on my shoulders is bogging me so far down; my legs find each step difficult. I do not want to leave. This is my home, the only life I’ve ever known.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />
And my only connection to my father Bam, but it’s what must be done.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />
I place my hand on my stomach closing my eyes and breathing in deep the air rushing through my lungs. It’s funny how life repeats itself. I think that it’s Dr. Phil that says ‘past behavior predicts future behavior’ and to hell if that isn’t the truth.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />
Walking up to my white and red Chevy, I slide in slowly turning the key into the ignition, the car roaring to life. My eyes focus on the garage and my heart sinks as I slouch in my seat, the weight becoming too much. Hours I’ve spent inside that building learning, but the best were the ones I spent with my Dad side by side under the hood of this car. He spent such meticulous time teaching me everything he could, always patient and answering the thousands of questions one at a time. It was the best time of my life.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />
Growing up in the club had its difficulties, but with each challenge that has been thrown in my face, I came out a stronger woman because of it.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />
I never knew my egg donor of a mother, who happened to be a club momma. As soon as I popped out of her stomach, she handed me over to Bam and never looked back. I don’t even know her name and at this point in my life have no intention of ever finding out.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />
I rub my stomach and disappointment scatters through my body. How could someone just dump their child and never contact them again? Never want to watch them grow up? The thought is just inconceivable to me.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />
Even though it doesn’t make sense, it’s what mine did. Bam never had a choice on whether to raise me or not, but I never once felt like a burden on him. True, my life growing up was very different from the life of my other schoolmates, but I loved it and wouldn’t change a thing.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />
For me, being strapped to a Harley before I could walk and attending parties where guys smoked cigarettes, drank booze and kissed barely clothed women was the norm. Watching fights break out over stupid shit almost every single day is the way of the club. Don’t get me wrong, I was always cared for, mostly by Bam, but when he was busy, the throng of club mommas entered in and out of my life to temporarily care for me, none ever staying long enough to form any kind of connection to.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />
Bam was there though as much as he could be. He’d have tea parties with me and play this wrestling tickle game that always sent me into fits of laughter. I loved him…I still love him. His life lessons were the best education a little girl could have. I never had to ask him, it was like he knew what I needed when I needed it.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />
When the time came for boys, he always told me that no man is good enough for my baby. At the time, I rolled my eyes, but now I crave to hear those words come back out of his mouth.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />
I hang my head down to my chest willing the tears to stay at bay. I will not cry. I’m stronger than that.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />
Bam was able to do it, raise me that is. Even with the struggles, he did it. I can too, but in order to, I need to get away from here and find out who I am. I need to do better for myself and for my baby, my family. I want a life here, but unfortunately that is not possible right now. It’s not my choice, but that of my baby’s father.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />
Even though he doesn’t know about this precious gift I have growing inside of me, he’s made it perfectly clear that he doesn’t want a life with me anywhere in it. It seems he’s too interested in chasing pussy to ever settle for just one. It guts me and shreds my heart that I’m not good enough. But I’m learning to accept it, even if it kills me. He left little room not to.
But I need to get myself together and stop with the ever impending pity party of poor me. I am not a poor me kind of woman. Thanks to Bam, I’m a grab life by the balls, deal with the consequences and make myself a future kind of a woman. That is what I am doing by leaving. I have every intention of coming back, every intention of introducing my child to his father and every intention of making my relationship with Harlow work. As soon as I have my head on straight.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />
Lifting my shoulders, I put the car into drive and set off for the new life that I have planned for my baby and I.

<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I'm a mom and a wife who works full time. I have a huge obsession with collecting paperbacks and reading. Becoming an author, wasn't exactly what I set out to do, it just happened. I needed something to help me get rid of the feeling of being 'just a mom' or 'just a wife' that was consuming me and writing became that outlet. My book(s) cover some tough issues which are hard for some readers to digest. I am grateful for every single one of you who read my books.</span></div>

<h3>
Synopsis</h3>
</div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I’ll be honest with you—I'm no hero. Sure, the media tries to brand every Navy SEAL as some kind of Batman dressed in cammies. There’s even a line in one of our cadences: “Superman is the man of steel, he ain’t no match for Navy SEAL.” You've seen the movies—we’re indestructible, invincible. But that night, the one you read about in the papers … all I really wanted to do was get laid.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">One harmless fuck with a Curaçao whore, no strings attached. I picked her out of a lineup—wild, dark hair, long legs and a crooked smile. After she sucked me off, I relaxed back onto the creaky, cum-stained cot, thankful for the blissful moments she gave me when I actually forgot for a second the faces of my buddies who died because I made the wrong call, the tears of the children I couldn't save, and the eyes of the enemies I slaughtered during their last seconds of life.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">But before I left, her hazel eyes peered into my soul. She whispered in a distinct Californian accent, “My name is Annie Hamilton. I'm an American citizen. I was kidnapped from a cruise ship five years ago. You're my last hope. Please save me.”
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">One desperate plea. This wasn’t a Hollywood blockbuster or a New York Times best-selling thriller. I knew that this time there was no room for excuses, no margin for errors. I had one chance to put the cape on and be her hero.

synopsis</h3>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Alpha Draike Weatherby has enjoyed many years of peace in his districts. He’s made agreements with the various shifter races as well as the Vampire Lord of London to keep crime down and their existence safe from human knowledge. Until now. A loyal gang of nonhuman runaways are systematically losing members. Rat shifters have grown bold, increasing crime in his area and risking their secret. Then there’s Olivia. Naked, bleeding, and fleeing a trio of unsavory characters, she runs straight into his arms…and stirs his most protective instincts.
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As he digs deeper, he discovers an interconnecting web with a single common thread: Olivia. To uncover the truth, he must gain the trust of the terrified woman who entices his fox. But she guards a secret that could destroy or save her.

<br />
<span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">He eased his large frame into Draike’s chair behind the large executive-style desk, propped his feet on the polished mahogany surface, and smiled—showing off a pair of sharp fangs. “You see, I too am a creature of legend. Like most legends and myths, most of what you’ve heard about my kind is false. We’re not bloodthirsty killers preying upon humanity to slake our unnatural thirsts. Although, now I think about it, there is a veritable plethora of solicitors amongst us. Maybe that myth isn’t too far off the mark, hmm?”
</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“You’re a-a vampire?” Her voice escaped her with a squeak. Olivia gripped the door handle, torn between the urge to remain with the amiable creature or run screaming into the streets. “Like, rising from the dead, turning into a bat, drinking blood and…and, oh my God! That’s not wine, then, is it?”
</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">She stared at the crystal wineglass. The viscous liquid clung to the sides and pooled at the bottom. It stained the vampire’s lips and tinted his fangs. The room seemed to spin as she struggled to breathe. Her pulse pounded in her ears.
</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Please, child, calm down before you give yourself a heart attack. I don’t fancy trying to explain <i>that</i> to the old battle-axe. Terrifying woman, prone to violence.” He gave a melodramatic shudder. “And then there’s Draike. When he gets riled, he can be more than a bit frightening. I mean, what if he doesn’t have all of his shots?”
</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“So, you’re not going to bite me? Drink my blood? Turn me into a vampire?” He shook his head. His smile showed perfectly even, perfectly <i>normal</i>, white teeth. Olivia ran a shaky hand over her face. It was official. She had finally gone insane. “Why not?”
</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“It’s a long story, but let’s just say human blood is on the restricted list. Besides, even though Draike delights in driving me toward the final death, I’d never betray him that way.”
“But it’s daytime! Shouldn’t you be turning into dust or bursting into flames or something?” She inched toward him, curiosity drawing her to the ancient creature who cast no shadow.
</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Miriam would never forgive me if I made such a mess.” His easy grin slipped from his face, and he pinned her with a serious look. “Our ability to walk in the sun is not known, Olivia. For our protection, vampires have encouraged that belief. You now hold knowledge that could be very valuable to my enemies, human and nonhuman alike. But even with that, I’m not a danger to you, child. I never will be.”
</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Why should I believe you?”
</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Because of my stunning good looks and keen wit?” He grinned and Olivia found herself returning it. It was insane, but she did believe him. She crept toward the chair, lowering herself to perch upon the very edge. Maximus’s smile was warm and kind, with a hint of relief. “Thank you. I was getting a kink in my neck looking up at you.”
</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Oh. Sorry.”
</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“None of that, now.” He dismissed her apology with an elegant wave. “As for why you should believe me?” He shrugged. “There’s little reason why you should at the moment. I have my reasons, of course. The main one being I owe Draike a great debt, one I can never repay. Granted, he’d take a stake to me if I hurt a single hair on your lovely head, but it changes nothing. I owe him and I always repay my debts. It’s an added bonus to find you’re a shadow seer. Quite remarkable, really.”
</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Her mouth dropped open. “Would he really stake you?”
</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“He’d try. It never ends well. The boy <i>sulks</i> when he loses. Most unbecoming in an alpha if you ask me.” Maximus swirled the liquid in his glass with a sniff. She shook her head in wonder. A silly vampire? Yep, it was time for the huggy coat. “I confess I’m teeming with curiosity about you. I have a million questions, but if I make you uncomfortable or frightened, I’ll go pester Miriam in the kitchen. Draike told me you’ve had a hard time of it lately. I don’t want to add to that.”
</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“I think,” Olivia began, but had to take a sip of her drink to wet her throat. “I think I’ll be okay. You’re not what I would’ve expected from a v-vampire.”
</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Forgive me, my sweet, for being such a crushing disappointment. I fear I left the cheesy cape and fedora at home.”
“In your coffin?”
</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Where else would it be?” He arched one brow and looked down his nose at her. She grinned despite her lingering fear.
“I don’t know. A closet?”
</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">They shared a laugh, and she eased back onto the plush upholstery. Maximus Petreius was as attractive as she would have expected from a vampire, but not nearly as frightening. She knew it was deliberate on his part; he was working hard to calm her fears. He was succeeding too. With his goofy grin and casual slouch in Draike’s chair, he reminded her so much of her father her heart ached.

<span style="color: #f9cb9c;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Elaina Roberts grew up in the wilds of Alabama, wearing garments sewn of squirrel hides. She saw her first motorized vehicle at age ten and was amazed and terrified at the giant, iron behemoth that ate and spat out people with impunity. She also makes up a lot of stuff, which propelled her to become an author.
</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f9cb9c;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #f9cb9c;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Truthfully, though, Elaina did grow up in a rural area just outside the city limits of a small Alabama town. She spent many long afternoons running through untamed woodlands, even if she doesn’t care for squirrel regardless of how you cook it. As the youngest of four, there were few luxuries purchased by her textile factory parents, but they provided her with something even better: an intense love of reading. Her early loves were the mysteries of Earle Stanley Gardner, the fantastic worlds of Edgar Rice Burroughs, and the action-packed adventures of Don Pendleton. When she discovered romance, she sought books that combined the genres she already loved with this new promise of happily ever after. Not long afterwards, she began her own tentative steps into writing.
</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f9cb9c;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #f9cb9c;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Today, she writes Urban Fantasy with a romantic flair, the genre guaranteed to offer her the greatest opportunity of creating fantastic words of action, adventure, and mystery, coupled with romance’s heart-lifting happily ever after.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Love is ugly and secrets will destroy you.

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I don’t beg.
I don’t cry.
And I don’t give second chances.
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Ream, the lead guitarist of the rock band Tear Asunder, deserves a gold medal for best dick move ever when he ran the moment he discovered my secret after two days of hot sex. Then he brings some chick to my coming home party from the hospital—after being shot.
I hate him.
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Until …
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Ream’s six foot two frame unfolds out of the car after being gone on tour for eight months. I stared. And in my defense, any girl would stare. It would almost be rude not to because Ream was the type of guy who stood out. Not because he was loud and obnoxious. No, it was because he was the complete opposite. Subtle and dangerously quiet. If he spoke, you’d better hope he liked you because otherwise you’d be falling at his feet begging for mercy. Except me … I don’t beg—ever.
But when our eyes locked, it was Ream’s steady confidence that had my nerves shooting off like jet sprinklers.
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Ream told me he didn’t need a second chance because he was still working on his first.
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Sex is ugly. It’s using someone for your own narcissistic pleasure. I did it and I hated it—until her. She was unfuckinexpected. Then I had to wreck our beginning with my screwed up past.
I don’t deserve her, but I’m selfish and I’m taking her anyway. This is who I am and it’s too late to change me.

<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Nashoda Rose lives in Toronto with her assortment of pets. She writes contemporary romance with a splash of darkness, or maybe it’s a tidal wave. Her novella "With You" is the first in the Tear Asunder series, followed by the novel "Torn from You" and "Overwhelmed by You".

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">When she isn’t writing, she can be found sitting in a field reading with her dog at her side while her horses graze nearby. She loves interacting with her readers on Facebook and chatting about her addiction—books.</span></div>

Synopsis</h3>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">New York City, 2025: Everything is changed. The city that never sleeps is now a land of death and decay. A rampant virus has taken over and the survivors have become carriers, quarantined from the rest of the world.
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Twist and Dodger grew up in the streets, the sewers and underground tunnels – their playground. They aren’t heroes. They just like attention; and stealing meds from the rich and giving them to the poor is their golden ticket.
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">On their latest raid, they unknowingly steal a cure that puts them square between the ailing Emperor of Manhattan and the war hungry Governor of Brooklyn and forces them on a quest into the darkest shadows of their putrefying world.

<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Wilbert Stanton was born and raised in New York City. From an early age, Wilbert decided he would either write books or take over the world; everything else was just a precursor to his end game. Along the way, he has studied Psychology, English, and Computer Science. He's held jobs in a wide range of fields and met people from all walks of life. Wilbert is constantly learning and growing as a person, in order to solidify his dreams. In the end world domination was a bit tedious, so he decided to focus on writing books.</span></div>
