<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;">India Harris didn’t have the best start in life. Abandoned as a baby, she and her twin brother, Kit, spent their lives in foster care, only having each other to rely on. Then, at a young age, a relationship with the wrong man left India pregnant. Wanting to give her son the life she never had, she put herself through school and graduated with honors.<u></u><u></u></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">

<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;">Now, at the age of thirty, she’s a highly respected therapist.<u></u><u></u></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">

<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;">At the top of his game as a Formula One driver, Leandro Silva had everything—until an accident on the track left him staring death in the face. After enduring twelve months of physical therapy, Leandro is now physically able to race, but his mind is keeping him from the track. Frustrated and angry, Leandro’s days and nights are filled with limitless alcohol and faceless women.<u></u><u></u></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;">Entering the last year of his contract, he knows he has to race again, or he’ll lose everything he spent his life working for. Forced into therapy to get his life back, Leandro finds himself in the office of Dr. India Harris.<u></u><u></u></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">

<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;">Having unethical feelings for her patient, the angry Brazilian race car driver, is not part of India’s plan.<u></u><u></u></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;">My eyes move to the magazines on the table. There’s a sports mag peeking out from under the fashion mags.<u></u><u></u></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 17.85pt;">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;">Leaning forward, I pull it out, instantly wishing I hadn’t.<u></u><u></u></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;">Top of the magazine is a picture of me, with the caption ‘What the bad side of Formula 1 looks like’.<u></u><u></u></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;">I already know what the media say about me. How I’ve turned from a great racer into a drunk, and a whore.<u></u><u></u></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 17.85pt;">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;">They’re not wrong on the whore part – well, whore is a bit harsh, I don’t charge for my services. And I wouldn’t say I’m a drunk. I just like to drink, a lot.<u></u><u></u></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;">I shouldn’t read the article, I know this, but the sadistic part of me has me turning those pages.<u></u><u></u></span></div>

<i><span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;">Why is Silva no longer racing? Physically he’s healthy. Is it mental problems? Fear over racing because of his accident. Is that why he drinks – drowning his misery in alcohol? Such a shame to see, a once great driver, fall from grace so dramatically.<u></u><u></u></span></i></div>

<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;">I am a liar, and a chicken shit. And that’s why I’m sitting in the waiting room of a therapist.<u></u><u></u></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;">Tossing the magazine back on the table, I get to my feet ready to leave this place, just as the door opens, revealing the epitome of what I could really do with screwing right now.<u></u><u></u></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 17.85pt;">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;">My eyes trail up the toned, tanned legs, to the fitted pencil skirt that I would happily hitch up to see the magnificent pussy that I bet lies beneath. A pale pink blouse is tucked into that skirt, covering what look like a fantastically sized pair of tits. Silky blonde hair sits on her shoulders. Hair that I would enjoy getting my hands all tangled in, while I fuck those bright red lips of hers, enjoying seeing that lipstick smeared all over my cock.<u></u><u></u></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 17.85pt;">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;">My dick pulses in my jeans, more than ready to proposition her with the offer.<u></u><u></u></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;">“Mr. Silva.” She steps forward. “I’m Dr. Harris. But please call me India.”<u></u><u></u></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 17.85pt;">

<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;">This, hitch-your-skirt-up-and-let-<wbr></wbr>me-fuck-you-right-now, woman is my new therapist.<u></u><u></u></span></div>

This book comes with feelings.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I felt connected to the characters. So many <u>great and wonderful</u> characters in this book! (Some are quite painful sometimes).<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Story had strength. I loved the set-up – back and forth
between past and present – this connected the story together magically. Marians
humour <b>never</b> fails to have me laughing out loud even amongst times that make you blub up.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A story of change, for better and worse. Highs and lows of
life and how they can change your perspective on love, trust, family life and
your career/work-life. The damage caused, the love shared, the pain felt, relationships created and a touch of fate.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This is quite different to her other work but it feels <b>fresh</b> and it revived my
love for books after having a loooong dry spell. Where Marian usually sticks quite true to reality, this book is a blend of reality in all it's gritty form and the dream life that we all find ourselves drifting off to within our minds now and again. This book gives you the best AND worst of both worlds and all the chaos that both realities bring with it, along the journey that takes you there.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You can always expect to have fun with Marian Keyes books and I cannot wait to see what Keyes has for us next.<o:p></o:p></div>

Violet has magical talent. She can levitate, walk through glass, and be in two places at one time. What happens when Violet discovers true magic in the arms of a new man?
Luke Kemble enjoys the luxury of having Violet, all of her magic and all of her beauty, all to himself. What happens to Luke's illusion of reality when he and the love of his life are threatened by another man, a dangerous one that holds grudges and anger?
Carter Borden never fully recovered from the heartbreak of his ex-wife leaving him. What happens to a damaged man who begins to believe in magic once again?
Follow two men -- Luke and Carter -- as they learn the one truth about Violet's magic (that it's an only an illusion) and the one truth about her love (that it's not).

As the author of the best-selling mystery romance, Surviving Goodbye, Morgan Parker has written several novels under this pen name. In 2012 and 2013, when he self-published Textual Encounters and Textual Encounters: 2, respectively, he was absolutely floored that anyone would want to read his stories. So he wrote non friction, an unconventional love story. That love story earned Mr. Parker a tremendous amount of attention and at the insistence of his readers, he followed it with Hope (a novella) and Sick Day. All three of those stories have spent time on Amazon best-seller lists. Currently, he is preparing Violets & Violence for publication in late-2014.
When not writing, Morgan likes to spend time gathering writing material from his two young children, reading and napping where he discovered the Type II Sleep State, which is the topic for his 2015 release, Anna Graham.
Morgan interacts regularly with his readers and friends on Facebook and Twitter.

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; text-align: start;">Successful, wealthy and absurdly handsome – Spanish ex-football player Mateo Casalles seemed like he had it all. A high-society wife, an adorable little girl, and flashy apartments in Madrid and Barcelona only sweetened the deal. But there was more to Mateo than met the eye – a life of uncertainty and regret that colored his black and white world. </span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; text-align: start;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; text-align: start;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; text-align: start;">That was until Vera Miles came into his life like a shooting star. Tattooed, wild and young, Vera seemed like Mateo’s polar opposite at first. But you can’t choose who you fall in love with and the two lost souls did everything they could to be together, all while suffering the grave consequences. </span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; text-align: start;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; text-align: start;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; text-align: start;">Now with Mateo divorced and living in Madrid with Vera, there is a whole new set of challenges and setbacks facing the couple and rocking the foundation of their star-crossed relationship. </span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; text-align: start;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; text-align: start;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; text-align: start;">Unfortunately for them, the brighter the star, the faster they burn. </span></div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Lucida Handwriting";">This is a twister of emotion, from
love that sends you to the highest cloud to agonizing heart-break. Packed with
drama (in the most adult of manners), passion and raw unadulterated, boundless,
beautiful love. I felt every emotion as if I was in Mateo’s head the whole
ride. Down to the sound of his sensuously gruff and charming Spanish accent.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Lucida Handwriting";">Halle is a true genius. I never tire
of her story telling which sucks me into its vacuum and spits me out wanting
more, at the end. There is a true beauty to her writing when it comes to Mateo
and Vera. The way she writes about the stars in the universe and the infinite
ways that love glides through its atmosphere. All of this rooted in our main
characters. Love isn’t always plain sailing and I adore the way that Karina has
dealt with issues in this book that really put pressure on the relationship and
whether it can sustain the damages. It gives it a gritty, real feel.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Lucida Handwriting";"><br /></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Lucida Handwriting";">You truly come away from this book believing
that, no matter how many lemons life throws at you, when you find someone that
you can feel in your gut and deep in your soul, that this is the person for
you. Then love can overcome anything (Cheese).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

as I did then you will LOVE this. A great conclusion to an epic romance with
bite<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Lucida Handwriting";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Lucida Handwriting";">Another
wonderful story by Morgan Parker. Surviving Goodbye is a cleverly written story
about Elliott Fitch and his struggle to let go of his recently deceased wife.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Lucida Handwriting";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Lucida Handwriting";">Surviving
Goodbye is a mystery that keeps you guessing all the way through. My own guess
was way of the mark (You will know what I mean when you check it out for
yourself). The book itself is quite a pleasant surprise. Morgan Parker has a
special way with words. Like all his books, this is about the journey in
finding live – in fact it’s more about stumbling upon love. There is almost a
darkness and sombreness to his writing with just a small amount of light to see
you through to a happy ending. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Lucida Handwriting";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Lucida Handwriting";"> At the same time, there is a light-heartedness
to it and it will make you laugh and smile in places. I did however question at
one point find myself questioning points of the story but it all makes sense in
the end. It’s about the power that love holds over a person and the crazy
things it can make a person do. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Lucida Handwriting";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Lucida Handwriting";">I
think my favourite thing about this book is the relationship between Elliott
and his daughter, Lena; a stroppy teen that has survived a lot in her sweet
sixteen years. The relationship they share is somewhat strained but beautiful
all at once. There a few special moments that had the corners of my mouth
turning up.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Lucida Handwriting";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Lucida Handwriting";">Part
of me would like to go back in time and learn more about Elliott and Karen because
the few slivers of history between them are very enticing to the romantic streak
in me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Lucida Handwriting";"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Lucida Handwriting";"> A nice easy read that will, at the
same time, keep you guessing all the way through whilst warming the cockles of
your heart.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
In the final hours of her life, Elliot Fitch’s wife confesses that he is not the biological<br />
<br />
father to their 16-year old daughter.<br />
<br />
Surviving Goodbye follows Elliot’s collision course with Fate as he embarks on a<br />
<br />
journey to locate his daughter’s real father. When Elena, now seventeen years old,<br />
<br />
announces her unplanned pregnancy and the father’s unwillingness to play a role<br />
<br />
in their child’s upbringing, Elliot faces an ironic dilemma about the true meaning of<br />
<br />
parenthood and the roles we play in the lives of others, particularly those we love<br />
<br />
and who love us in return.<br />

<i>By the time you read this, I’ll be dead. I hope I had the chance to tell you this myself, </i><br />

<i><br /></i>
<i>sweet on one hand, is devastatingly sad on the other: You loved me with the depth </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>and truth that most people never know. And because of that (here’s the devastating </i><br />

<i><b><span style="font-size: large;">SYNOPSIS</span></b></i><br />
<br />
Sky’s world turned upside down when she met rock star Dylan<br />
<br />
Morgan, and exploded when she discovered his hidden past.<br />
<br />
Four months after Sky learns Dylan’s devastating secret, she’s<br />
<br />
trying to piece her life back together. Without an explanation from<br />
<br />
Dylan, Sky has no choice but to try and forget him.<br />
<br />
Dragged back into the life he ran from, Dylan continues to spiral<br />
<br />
downwards as he copes with his fame the only way he knows how.<br />
<br />
Shattered by the revelation Sky knows his darker past, he forces<br />
<br />
himself to return to England and explain.<br />
<br />
Sky and Dylan reconnect, attempting to build on the shaky<br />
<br />
foundations of their summer. But the outside world continues to<br />
<br />
conspire against them.<br />
<br />
Taking place in the epicentre of the Blue Phoenix world, Sky and<br />
<br />
Dylan’s story continues amongst the chaos surrounding the band<br />
<br />
and its members.<br />

<b><i><span style="font-size: large;">FALLING SKY EXTRACT</span></i></b><br />
<br />
The snow drifts down heavier than recently and by the time<br />
<br />
we get to my place, the dark clouds bring the winter’s night on<br />
<br />
early. Dylan parks behind my snow-covered car.<br />
<br />
“If we’re going back to the start, I should really rear-end<br />
<br />
that car?” He looks at me sideways with a grin.<br />
<br />
I’m busy calculating my next move and trying to anticipate<br />
<br />
his because he’s turned the engine off. The snow settles on the<br />
<br />
windscreen.<br />
<br />
“White Christmas, do you think?” I ask.<br />
<br />
“A few days to go yet but maybe.”<br />
<br />
“I’d better get inside before...”<br />
<br />
“Before what?” He turns in the seat and I stiffen. If I kiss<br />
<br />
Dylan, that’s it. Over. I’m lost again.<br />
<br />
“Before the roads get bad for you,” I say the words but I’m<br />
<br />
unaware of anything but Dylan, the leather scent of his jacket is<br />
<br />
different to the summer Dylan, a new flavour mingling with the<br />
<br />
“I’ll be okay,” he says, his gaze on my mouth.<br />
<br />
I lick my dry lips and his pupils dilate, even without his<br />
<br />
hands on me, Dylan’s stirring arousal. He reaches out a hand,<br />
<br />
pushing a strand of hair behind my ear the way he always used to,<br />
<br />
his fingertips grazing my cheek with heat. Hesitantly, he moves his<br />
<br />
face closer, reminding me of the first time he kissed me. I tense as<br />
<br />
his warm breath strokes my face, dragged into the charged moment<br />
<br />
before his lips touch mine.<br />
<br />
Dylan softly presses his mouth to mine. Then waits. I push<br />
<br />
my lips to his and our mouths move together, the hesitant kiss of<br />
<br />
those just met, not of reuniting lovers. I fall into space, past the<br />
<br />
stars into his universe, pulled to the man who has never let me go.<br />
<br />
The world outside of the heating space of the car doesn't exist, our<br />
<br />
bubble transplanted to here and now. I grip the growing curls of<br />
<br />
his hair and hold his neck and he leans across the middle of the car,<br />
<br />
pulls me close and lets go of his gentleness. Dylan holds both of<br />
<br />
my cheeks, the way he did on the beach in the rain, and kisses me<br />
<br />
like a drowning man desperate for air only I can give him.<br />
<br />
My winter coat and his jacket prevent complete closeness<br />
<br />
and I fight the urge to slip my hands inside his jacket and feel his<br />
<br />
warmth and strength. If I do that, I know he’ll reciprocate and in a<br />
<br />
car, in the street, isn’t the right place to start.<br />
<br />
his head away. We breathe in sync, rapidly, reflecting the desire to<br />
<br />
reunite that we both have. But not now, not yet.<br />
<br />
Slowly, Dylan unwinds my fingers from his neck and shifts<br />
<br />
the tattoos.”<br />
<br />
“I’ve missed you, Sky,” he whispers, cupping my cheek.<br />
<br />
“Life lost a lot of colour without you,” I say. “And not just<br />
<br />
“Will you see me again?”<br />
<br />
“Yes.” I softly brush his lips and draw away. Dylan’s<br />
<br />
lips part and I place a finger on them. “But I’m not ready for the<br />
<br />
intensity again this soon.”<br />
<br />
“I get that.”<br />
<br />
“Which is why I’m going inside alone.”<br />
<br />
“Unfortunately, I thought you’d say that.” He kisses my<br />
<br />
As I open the car door, Dylan catches my hand.<br />
<br />
forehead and sits back.<br />
<br />
“Tomorrow?”<br />
<br />
There’s a hint of the old Dylan, reaching out to the old Sky he’s<br />
<br />
just resurrected. “It’s always tomorrow with you, isn’t it?” I ask,<br />
<br />
echoing the words from the summer.<br />

Summer Sky (Blue Phoenix #1)<br />
<br />
Title: Summer Sky (Blue Phoenix, #1)<br />
<br />
<b><i><span style="font-size: large;">SYNOPSIS</span></i></b><br />
<br />
Sky changed her life for a man once, and she has no intention<br />
<br />
of doing it again - even if he is a six-foot, tattooed rock god who<br />
<br />
makes a mean bacon sandwich.<br />
<br />
Sky Davis is fed up with boyfriend Grant taking her for granted,<br />
<br />
and when she comes home to find him wearing a girl, Sky<br />
<br />
suspects the relationship is over. She takes an unscheduled<br />
<br />
holiday and leaves the life (and guy) she hates behind.<br />
<br />
Rock star Dylan Morgan is struggling with fame and infamy, sick<br />
<br />
of his life being controlled by other people. Dylan cuts his hair<br />
<br />
and walks away from his role as lead singer of Blue Phoenix,<br />
<br />
leaving behind chaos and speculation.<br />
<br />
Outside the English seaside town of Broadbeach, their cars and<br />
<br />
worlds collide.<br />
<br />
Sky decides Dylan is an arrogant guy with too many tattoos, and<br />
<br />
Dylan is amused by the smart-mouthed girl with no idea who he<br />
<br />
is. Dylan and Sky soon discover they’ve travelled to Broadbeach<br />
<br />
for the same reason - to escape from reality and head back to a<br />
<br />
place with happy childhood memories. Losing themselves in a<br />
<br />
world where they know nothing about each other, Sky and Dylan<br />
<br />
begin a summer romance that soon heats up their rainy English<br />
<br />
summer.<br />
<br />
Fantasies can’t last forever, and when reality crashes the party,<br />
<br />
Sky isn’t sure she wants to be more than his ‘summer Sky’ but<br />
<br />
Dylan doesn’t want to let her go.<br />
<br />
Returning to the real world, public scrutiny isn’t their only<br />
<br />
problem. Blue Phoenix lead guitar player, Jem Jones, has a<br />
<br />
reason for wanting Sky out of Dylan’s life, and is determined to<br />
<br />
come between them. Some things won’t stay hidden, even when<br />
<br />
they’re paid to ‘go away’.<br />
<br />
Summer Sky is a contemporary romance where occasionally<br />
<br />
more than the bacon sizzles. It is the first in the Blue Phoenix<br />
<br />
series.<br />
<br />
The Blue Phoenix books are a series of contemporary romance<br />
<br />
novels and novellas centred on the fictional rock band Blue<br />
<br />
Phoenix.<br />

Following her passionate, whirlwind romance in Tuscany, Lexi has finally learned how to trust, finding true love and happiness with Lucca Caruso.
File E for earth-shattering. Lexi is about to experience the sexiest, earth-shattering eroticism with her insatiable Italian God, Lucca.
Lucca builds Lexi’s confidence and encourages her to lose her inhibitions with his ‘ask-get’ approach. He teaches her to ask for the desires that she lusts for, and he’s all too willing to give her his sexual gifts of the day.
They have no boundaries.
They have each other.
They live for one another.
File T for timeless. Their love transcends time. He is her always. She is his forever.
Lucca promises to love, cherish, support, and protect his dolcezza. Recent discoveries leave Lexi feeling anxious and uncertain, until Lucca indulges her in romance, adoration, and tender loving care. They plan for their future and everything appears to be getting brighter.
Until darkness prevails …
The tormentor of her dreams.
The devil in disguise.
The uprising of Michael Parks.
Michael has unfinished business, and his resurrection will rewrite Lexi and Lucca’s destiny forever. He wants revenge and will stop at nothing until he has it. Dark black was the colour of her life … and is the colour of her afterlife.
Alexis Evangeline Robertson is going straight to Hell.
After the desires of lust …
And the sweetness of love …
And the flicker of light …
<strong>Fate has brought Lucca and Lexi together. Can fate take L’amore away?</strong>

As a young child, her family moved and raised her in Lanarkshire, Scotland where she currently resides with her husband, two daughters and her energetic, hyperactive loving gun dog who is utterly spoiled.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
SJ is a qualified Fitness Instructor and Health & Fitness Motivator of various fitness styles and disciplines. Music and dance aerobics have always been a pleasure and passion for her.
SJ will sporadically make up dance style routines at any hour of the day when a move comes to her or piece of music moves or inspires her. Currently not teaching classes, she is focusing her time into nurturing her yearning passion for creative writing, exchanging one visualisation for another.
As a child, SJ loved to write in journals and make up short stories and has a flare for all things creative. With an overactive imagination at times, SJ adores to make notes, visualise scenes and settings to create characterisations.
While on holiday with her family one summer reading book after book, she had a flash of inspiration and has had various ideas whirling around in her mind ever since. It was not until she pulled back on teaching classes that she found the courage, time and insight into actually bringing these ideas to life.
In February 2013 she decided to bring that imagination to light by beginning her writing journey with ‘Lussuria’ the first instalment in ‘The Luminara Series’ available from late October 2013.
Being a self-confessed book junkie, she loves nothing better than to get lost in an emotional and moving book. A true romantic at heart, her guilty pleasure is reading heart-warming, passionate stories and falling in love with her favourite fictional characters.
With seven books already mapped out in ‘The Luminara Series’, SJ’s busy creative mind has already planned two more fictitious novels, both stand-alone romance books and very different in their own right.
When she is not writing or reading, spending time with family and friends or exercising and walking her dog, SJ loves all things practical and creative. Dancing, music, cooking, travelling, good food and wine and painting are her favourite past times along with laughter, lots and lots of laughter.</div>

<strong>~ Excerpt ~</strong><br />
<strong><br /></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Olivia awoke from an afternoon nap, admiring the beautiful man sleeping peacefully next to her. She
glanced around the large bedroom, the duvet and several pillows thrown on the floor. A grin spread
across her face, thinking about the amazing sex she had with Alexander just a few hours earlier. She
pried herself out of his arms and went in search of a much-needed bathroom.
Grabbing her jeans and sweater, she threw them on before quietly walking over to the door, thankful
when it didn’t creak and wake up Alexander. After finding a bathroom, she went to see if his mother
needed any help getting things ready for that evening.
The house was eerily quiet as she walked down the stairs searching for Colleen. “They must all be
outside,” she said to herself. She headed in the direction of the back door, when a room off the hallway
caught her eye. She stopped dead in her tracks, a memory rushing back. Her fifth birthday. Her mama
had made her a cake in the shape of a Care Bear. She could have sworn she remembered her mama and
the green-eyed boy from the dream sitting beside her in that very room, singing to her as she blew out
the candles on that cake.
Turning, she headed toward the ornate dining room, the table and chairs all covered with sheets.
Walking around the room, she felt as if she had been there before, but that was impossible. She hadn’t
even known Alexander for a year and this was the first time he invited her home with him. Still, the
smell and sounds in that room were strangely familiar.
She scanned the walls and her eyes settled on a large picture frame covered with a white sheet. The
other portraits weren’t hidden. Curious, she slowly made her way to the center of the room where the
enormous frame hung. She gingerly began to raise the sheet, wondering what was underneath.
“Olivia, dear! There you are!” Colleen called out, startling her.
She jumped, placing her hand over her chest. “Colleen. I’m sorry. I came downstairs to see if you needed
any help, and I guess I got a little sidetracked.” She shrugged her shoulders, feeling guilty that she was
caught snooping around.
Colleen walked over to Olivia and placed her hands on her shoulders, trying to lead her out of the room
and away from the large family portrait of Alexander and Olivia as children. “I understand. It happens to
the best of us.”
“Colleen,” Olivia said, raising her voice. “Why is that portrait covered up?”
She stopped, turning to look at her. She hated having to lie to the poor girl, particularly when her
son should have simply told her the truth by now. He swore he would tell her, and she didn’t want to
interfere…not yet, anyway. “I’m sorry, Olivia. It’s just that whenever Alexander comes home, I try to rid
the house of any memories of…”
“Oh,” she said, understanding. “I should have known.” She turned to head back upstairs, her shoulders
slightly dropping.
“Olivia, dear!” Colleen called out.
She stopped and faced her.
“He loves you very much. I’ve never seen him so happy in all his life, even when he was a little boy.” She
smiled before retreating back outside, leaving Olivia alone with her thoughts about Alexander and why
the dining room in that house brought back memories of her fifth birthday.

Wow...what a book! The whole series was just amazing, love each and one of them. Gorgeous Chaos was the last in the series but yet it did not disappoint at all, in fact i think it might be one of my favourite in the series. God, where do i start...IT WAS JUST AWESOMELY GREAT! It's got to be one of the most romantic, unbelievably love story i've read, every bit of the story was pouring with love and passion, not just with two couples but friends and family. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Alex Burnham, I didn't think it was possible to love him even more than from A Tragic Wreck, but i think i've fallen even more deeper...His love for Olivia, is just the sweetest thing and any girl will wish to find their own Mr Burnham that loves them that madly and crazily. A just a tragic fairytale but his you believe and listen to your heart everything will be on your side.<br />
<br />
Alex and Oliver, are two couple that are truly meant to be together, after many twist and turns and bumps in the road they reunite but still tragic still follows them, with lots of uncertainty from Olivia with Alex because of her lack of memories of her past, she is yet to realise they both are bond to each other no matter how many years, distant or even danger is put between them, Alex will always be there to protect his Olivia even if Olivia doesn't quite agree with his rules and ways but he just cant' lose her again. They are each other's life.<br />
<br />
The final instalment is even more thrilling, charming and nerve racking than the pervious two. I had such a emotional of a roller coaster, my heart sank a few times, and stomach as turning at lot the moment. The author really, bought out all the emotions and feelings really well, it feel like your right in the story, going through what they are. I loved it. you just can't help love each character no matter what.<br />
<br />
The unexpected twist was a shocker in the end, i really didn't see this coming. I was so shocked and angry with the unexpected twist, which really took me surprised but it was good as you wouldn't see it coming at all. This book really does take you through all the emotions, loved every moments of it. I was a page turner from the beginning. You really have to read the first two to understand the story. Even though we waited awhile for this last instalment, once i start reading all the characters came rushing back to me, along with the story. Its a hard story to forget. I really is a must read series!<br />

Leigh, otherwise known as Tracy Leigh Kellam, is a producer / attorney by trade. Originally from
New England, she now resides in sunny Southern California with her husband, dog and three cats, all of
which she has rescued (including the husband).
Her debut novel “A Beautiful Mess” has garnered relative praise, having been an Amazon Best Seller, as
well a Number 1 Best Seller in Romantic Suspense, Women’s Action and Adventure Fiction, Women’s
Crime Fiction, and Women’s Psychological Fiction. Recently, the book was named by The Guardian as a
top reader-recommended self-published book of 2013 as well as a 2013 Reader’s Favorite in Publisher’s
Weekly in addition to being named an Amazon Romance Editor’s Fan Favorite for Top Debut Author and
Best Page Turner.
The sequel to “A Beautiful Mess”, entitled “A Tragic Wreck”, became an Amazon Top-50 Best Selling
Book on the day of its release. It is also an Amazon Number 1 Best Seller in Women’s Sagas, Women’s
Psychological Fiction, Women’s Action and Adventure Fiction, and Women’s Crime Fiction.
When she’s not planted in front of her computer, writing away, she can be found running and training
for her next marathon (of which she has run over fifteen fulls and far too many halfs to recall). Unlike
Olivia, the main character in her Beautiful Mess series, she has yet to qualify for the Boston Marathon.

Instead of spending her summer interning for her astronomy major, she would fly to Spain where she’d spend a few weeks teaching conversational English to businessmen and women, all while enjoying free room and board at an isolated resort. But while Vera expected to get a tan, meet new people and stuff herself with wine and paella, she never expected to fall in love.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px; text-align: left;" />

While Vera is a pierced and tatted free spirit with a love for music and freedom, Mateo is a successful businessman from Madrid, all sharp suits and cocky Latino charm. Yet, as the weeks go on, the two grow increasingly close and their relationship changes from purely platonic to something…more.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px; text-align: left;" />

literally had butterflies 99% of the time, whilst reading this book. A
beautiful story of love and how it is indeed the same in any language. Teaching
us that you may find love in any part of the world. But whether or not you are
strong enough to hold on to that love, is another matter. The story cleverly
changes pace, in sync with this theme. The first half, is spent with our
wonderful characters as they fall deeply in love with one another – against all
odds and conscious thinking. In their very own Spanish bubble.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

the only way to describe the chemistry between these two, is like this. A state
of foreplay. The tension builds and builds steadily, it floods you to your very
core. Butterflies are sweeping your insides and you feel yourself falling
deeper and deeper – against better judgement – and although you try to fight it
– eventually you know that the heart will win out. The ending is inevitable
because you just know you have to kiss this man. This beautiful man that gets
you like no one before. Despite all obstacles out in the real world – that are
stacked against you. Right now, you are in this bubble – just you and he and
time on your side – for now. Everything is black and white, plain and simple.
Chrystal clear. For now. For now – You want so badly to give in.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
My walk to Citywest Shopping Centre was a quick one and before I knew it, I was in Dunnes Stores walking around pushing a trolley. I took out the list Branna made and began picking up the items she wrote down. I added some cookies and other treats into the trolley, because it was that time of the month, and I needed them.
I was bending down to get the triple chocolate cookies - best cookies ever - on the bottom shelf. I had to go down on my knees, because there were only two packets left, and they were at the very back. I got them though, and when I stood up and turned to toss them in my trolley I froze mid-step.
"What the fuck are <i>you</i> doin' here?" I growled.
Dominic Slater's smirking face morphed into a smiling one. "What do you think I'm doing in a grocery store? Taking a shower?"
I pulled a face at him. "It's called a <i>supermarket</i>, you bloody eejit," I said coolly before moving towards my trolley.
Dominic stepped in front of me, blocking my way.
I blew out a big breath. "Move. Now!"
"Why weren't you in school today?" he asked, ignoring my demand.
He noticed I wasn't in today?
Probably because he had no one else to bully since I wasn't there.
"I'm sick," I said and tried to get around him once more.
He blocked my way again by stepping to the same side as me at the same time.
"You don't look sick," he commented.
I glared at him.
"Shows how much you know, doesn't it?" I growled.
I hunched forward a little when pressure erupted across my lower abdomen and caused me immense pain.
"Dominic, move out of me way!"
"Are you going to puke?" he asked, still blocking my way.
"Yeah, I'm goin' to puke, and I'm aimin' for you so move!" I warned.
Dominic snorted. "Nah, you don't look like you will be sick. You're obviously having stomach pain though."
"Thank you for that observation doctor Fuckface, now move!" I spat.
Dominic laughed at me then glanced to my hands. "I'll happily move… when you give me those cookies."
I cuddled the cookies to my chest as I would with a newly born infant.
"No fuckin' way, I got them first!"
Dominic rolled his eyes. "They are mostly likely the last triple chocolate cookies in the entire store since you had to get them from the very back of the shelf. If you want me to move, then you will give them to me."
"They were the last two packets in the shop, but I'm not givin' you either of them, and if you don't move I'll scream rape and have you arrested!" I warned.
He tipped his head back and laughed, so I took the opportunity and manoeuvred around him. I used one hand to hold the cookies to my chest and the other to grab my trolley.
"Oh, no you don't!"
When I felt hands come around my stomach from behind, I almost died.
He was touching me!
Dominic Slater had his hands on my stomach and had his body pressed into my back.
Oh, my Jesus.
<i>Did this motherfucker have a death wish?
</i>"I'll give you three seconds to get your hands and body away from me, otherwise I will knock you the fuck out!"
Dominic's chuckle in my ear made my body tense up even more than it already was.
"You think you can take me, pretty girl?"
<i>Pretty girl?
</i>Was he trying to be funny or something?
"I do!" I snapped then said, "Don't call me that again!"
"I can call you what I like and say what I like to you, freedom of speech and all that."
"You're so fuckin' stupid and a knob head… get off me!" I snapped then gasped when one of his arms came up and made a blatant grab for my cookies.
No. Fucking. Way!
I lifted my leg and kicked back against Dominic's shin; he grunted as he jumped back away from me. I whirled around and glared at him while he shook out his leg probably trying to shake the pain away.
"You fucking bitch!" he hissed.
I smiled at him. "That will be your balls if you ever touch me again. Have you not learned your lesson that touchin' me results in me hittin' you?"
He rolled his eyes and rubbed his cheek as if still feeling the pain of the slap I delivered to him on Wednesday for touching my arse.
He dropped his hands and grinned at me. "You have a phat ass, I couldn't help myself from having a feel."
I gaped at him.
He just called me fat.
He <i>actually</i> just called me fat.
I didn't care if I looked the size of a whale; you just didn't call a girl fat, <i>especially</i> to her fucking face.
The insult hurt me, and I hated that. I wanted to hurt Dominic back so I threw the insult back at him even though he was nothing but trimmed muscle.
"<i>You</i> are fat!" I snapped, turning and grabbing my trolley with one hand to push it away.
Fuckface stopped me though.
He wedged himself between me and my trolley. I didn't like it, not one bit.
"I didn't call you fat."
The dirty liar!
I growled at him. "You did too, you lyin' sack of shite!"
"I said you have a phat ass, there is a difference," he stated.
What?
"No there isn't, you said me arse is fat-"
"Phat as in sexy," he purred.
I stared at him, suppressing the urge to beat him to death with my cookies.
"Fat is <i>not</i> sexy," I stated.
"When you have a phat ass it is," Dominic said, still standing in front of me. "I don't mean fat as in <i>fat</i>, I just meant it as in good type of big, not an obese type of big. You have a big butt, and that is sexy."
Why the fuck were we having this conversation about my fat but not <i>fat</i> arse?
"I don't give a fuck. Me and me fat arse want to move on with our trolley so get outta the way."
Dominic smirked and held out his hand and said, "Cookies first."
I gripped the cookies tighter. "You will have to pry them from me cold, dead fingers, you lanky bastard."
Dominic smirked and took a step towards me; I panicked and swung my arm catching him across the face with my hand. He actually stumbled to the side and out of my way as he gripped his face. I shot forward, grabbed my trolley, and all but sprinted up the aisle.
"Bronagh!" he shouted.
I turned and headed straight for a checkout till, more than ready to pay for the items and get home. People obviously heard Dominic shouting and were looking down the aisle where I just shot out from. I pretended to be confused as well; I didn't want anyone thinking I was the Bronagh that Dominic was shouting after.
I jumped into a queue and began to unload my trolley items onto the conveyor belt, while mentally shouting at the woman in front of me to hurry up and pack her things.
"I could have you arrested for assault, you know that right? That's <i>twice</i> you hit me back there."
I sighed, knowing he purposely chose to come to this till just to piss me off.
"It was self-defence, <i>you</i> put your hands on <i>me</i> first without permission," I spat as I nudged my trolley forward without looking around at him.
"That's bullshit," Dominic snarled.
I rolled my eyes. "Get over it, you big baby."
I surged forward when the lady in front of me was finished, and thankfully, the woman serving me had my stuff scanned and helped me bag them in record time.
"Those cookies are the nicest ones in the entire shop, they are always sold out." The woman smiled when she tucked them into a bag.
I looked up at Dominic, who was glaring at me. It made me smile before I looked at the woman.
"I agree, they <i>are</i> delicious."
"Evil bitch," Dominic muttered, making the woman snap her head to him, and it caused me to snort a little.
I paid the woman, grabbed the three carrier bags, and heaved them down. They were heavy, and I hated that Branna wasn't here with her car to help me bring them home.
I sucked in a large breath and headed for the exit of the shop only to pause at the doors, almost whimpering right there and then. It was absolutely lashing rain outside. I didn't know why I was so surprised, it always happened. It could be mild and cool here in Dublin one minute then belting rain the next.
I sighed and looked up at the sky after a full minute of just staring out at the rain. "You just can't cut me a break, can you, Jesus?"
"I don't think he replies to people who assault innocents."
I jumped at his voice, which he laughed at.
I shook my head without looking at Dominic when he came to stand next to me. "How the hell did you pack your things and pay for them so quickly?" I questioned.
"Magic," he replied.
I rolled my eyes. "Well, use some magic and disappear from me presence."
Dominic snorted. "You would love that, wouldn't you?"
I looked at him, narrowed my eyes, and smiled. "I would love nothin' more than for you to disappear from the face of the earth, Fuckface."
Dominic looked like he suddenly wanted to murder me so I stepped away from him.
"No wonder you bought tampons, it must be that time of the month." He shook his head.
He saw my tampons?
Oh, God!
I felt my face flush. "Shut the hell up!"
He grinned at me. "You're seriously mean on your period."
Oh, my God!
Get me the hell out of here.
"Well, this was horrible, I hope we don't run into each other here - or anywhere - ever again. Bad day to you, sir." I bowed my head and stepped out into the rain.
I felt a chill run up my spine, so I straightened myself up, ignored the pain of the plastic bags digging into my fingers, and pushed on walking.
"Do you want a ride?" I heard Dominic's voice shout from my far left.
I gasped and spun in his direction, noticing that he was moving towards a large black Jeep.
"You dirty bastard! How <i>dare</i> you ask me that!" I shouted.
Dominic paused his stride and looked at me with his eyebrows raised before he laughed.
"Crap, I meant a lift as in a <i>lift home in my car</i>. I didn't mean a ride as in the meaning of what a ride is over here… I'm not asking you to ride <i>me</i>, Bronagh."
I felt myself flush.
"Whatever, I don't need a <i>lift</i>!"</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">we had a great opportunity to get on hand on this bad boy before everyone else. I must say the cover was super sexy and it instantly draw me in, wrap my hands around it and see if its equally hot inside. </span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"><div style="line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;">
<br style="line-height: 21px;" /></div>
<div style="line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;">
well what can i say i certainly wasn't disappointed...its was super hot. Smoking at times... pff... Before signing up to the review, it came with a warning sign, which had the words dominate and possessive about this bad ass. He indeed was possessive and dominate but in a sweet kind of way...at times it was crazy madness but his only looking at what he treasure the most. </div>
<div style="line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;">
<br style="line-height: 21px;" /></div>
<div style="line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;">
The story follows dominic, the all muscle, new playboy of the school. He finally found someone that doesn't fall at his feet and has her own attitude to return, Bronagh. Curiosity starts creeping in, finding why his one women can resist his charms, slowly it becomes mature but dominic just doesn't realise it just yet. He begins to notice her (they have the same classes) and to the extend of stalking her but whenever she gets into trouble he his just right behind her. </div>
<div style="line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;">
<br style="line-height: 21px;" /></div>
<div style="line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;">
Of course, she think this rude bad ass annoying stalker, just want to get into her panties (well thats probably true) seems to be at every corner she turns but yet she doesn't seems to be able to get away from him, eventually her feelings grow but afraid to show it. </div>
<div style="line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;">
<br style="line-height: 21px;" /></div>
<div style="line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;">
They both have a tempt of there own, at times i found Bronagh quite annoying, probably more stubborn and need to see the whole picture and there is times i think why Dominic is so attached to one people that is always doing the opposite he says. I suppose that what they say opposite attract. </div>
<div style="line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;">
The story develops into a intriguing line, not quite expecting what was in-store from Dominic and his brothers. It's about survive, love, revenge and family. Dominic and Bronagh's relationship isn't a easy path, its a bumpy road, with things thrown at them at each point. </div>
<div style="line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;">

shy and introverted banker that wrote Non Friction, the novel that fans and
readers voted as the #1 Funniest, Sexiest Book of 2014 at goodreads. When he's
not writing, Morgan likes to do lots of fun stuff. Like sleep and eat. He jogs
every day, usually to Starbucks for his daily fix at the end of his lunch hour.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Parker has ~ Goodreadsit, again. We read Non Friction and he smashed it, we read Hope

<span style="font-family: "Lucida Handwriting"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> I am a big
fan of Morgan Parker. I don’t know quite what it is but his stories are just
something else. Real and gritty. Happy endings are not always possible and this
is what Morgan brings us. The harsh truths. The up’s and downs of true romance,
an unstoppable force that is inevitable but surely comes at the wrong time.
Now, I know that may sound depressing BUT his stories are anything but. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Lucida Handwriting"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The
characters connect with the reader so we empathise with their every emotion but
not too deeply that we are blind to reality. His characters aren’t dumb. They
know and we know, you can’t always get what you want. It’s just not that simple
sometimes. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

was actually no hard part. It was one of those ‘miraculous’ novels for me that
just seeped out of my fast flying typing fingers. The idea came to me and the
characters just bled out of me. I think it’s probably up there as the fastest
novel I’ve ever written. OUT OF THE SHALLOWS, however, is one of the hardest
and slowest novels I’ve ever written. I had to take time to make sure I was
writing the real heart of this story and it took me weeks to root out that it
really is Charley’s story. From there I was determined to bring authenticity to
her story and to her love story with Jake. For it to have the impact I wanted
it to have I had to dig deep and relive my own college years and the
unbelievable highs and lows of that time. That was quite difficult and
sometimes exhausting.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

don’t think Charley deserves better? ’Cause, I know she does. But for whatever
reason, I’m what she wants. <i>I’m</i> what
makes her happy. You’ve got to get over the crap your stepdad and mom fed you,
Beck. They don’t know anything. Claudia wants you. That’s all you need to know.
And have you seen that girl? Most guys think you’re a fucking idiot for not
going there with her.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Lucida Handwriting";">We are huge
fans of Samantha Young here at Booky Ramblings and Into The Deep is one of our
FAVOURITE books ever. No exaggeration, I swear. So when we were given an ARC of
Out of the Shallows, we were jumping around the room like looney tunes!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Lucida Handwriting";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Lucida Handwriting";"> I love Into The Deep and Jake and
Charley are one of the best book couples out there. Samantha has a pure talent
for creating worlds for us to let our minds dissolve into. When I open on of
her books, I know I will not be disappointed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Lucida Handwriting";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Lucida Handwriting";"> Out of the Shallows is no different
but it did completely stun me! The direction of the story is so unexpected. In
a totally <b>good</b> way. I was sucked in from the start and kind of dazed by the
beginning but all makes sense as you continue. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Lucida Handwriting";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Lucida Handwriting";">Once
again a very cleverly written story. I love how it jumps between time frames. I
feel like Book 1 was Charley and Jakes story and the sequel is Charley’s story.
At a desperate time in her young life where all walls feel like they are caving
in on her as she tries to please everyone in her life. Being the person that
everyone wants you to be means that you end up losing yourself and this is
exactly what happens to Charley. Every word feels so <b><i>real</i> </b>and I just found myself sympathising for her As you all know
I love Charley) I seriously felt like I was one of her friends who just wanted
to shake her, cuddle her and help her through this stage on her life. Great, my new best friend is fictional! How very clever of you Samantha!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Lucida Handwriting";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Lucida Handwriting";"> Samantha’s writing is so powerful. I
really get dragged into the pages. Most people can empathise with the story. I
must admit I did feel at times, that there really was no way around it and a HEA
may not be in sight! It makes you feel GAH! That's the ONLY way to describe it, I'm serious!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Lucida Handwriting";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Lucida Handwriting";"> So Jake. Jake. Jake. Jake. We all fell
in love with him in Into the Deep and the relationship that he shared with our
Charley. Well, he comes back just as HOT here ladies. Perfect book boyfriend
material. Without a doubt. But this story really focuses on Charley. I was holding up my "Go Jake" banner the whole time. I love him!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Lucida Handwriting";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Lucida Handwriting";"> I will not spoil the story for you. I
will tell you that this will make you think <b>and </b>feel. The emotion is so raw and
deep that you can’t help tuning in on the emotions displayed by the characters
that also feel <b>real </b>themselves. Pure genius. Totally unexpected and
aw-inspiring. Everything you could want in a book is here. Samantha leaves the
story in your hands.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">I couldn’t actually dispute any of that, which made me even more pissed, hurt, defensive, scared and … confused.<u></u><u></u></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">I hadn’t taken two steps when I felt his hand wrap around my wrist. Jake tugged me, forcefully, pulling me around so I stumbled into his chest. His lips crashed down on mine, his kiss hungry, desperate, angry …<u></u><u></u></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 22px; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 14.2pt;">

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">His lips moved from my mouth to my chin, along my jaw, as his hand slid up my waist, his thumb just grazing my breast.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">His voice was ragged in my ear. “I’ve missed you so much.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
What would you do if you were granted millions of pounds and a face that melts the underwear off of any woman? Meet Theodore Ellis, the business man who parties like a rock star, and has more women than he has room on his bed post to put the notches. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Meet Lilly Parker. With a difficult past; Lilly is cold, closed off and emotionally unavailable in every way. Don't go thinking she's the sweet and innocent victim though, she plays the game better than most men, and is the original use and abuse woman. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She's built her walls ten feet high and topped with razor wire, but Theo is relentless in the face of a challenge and Lilly finds herself besieged by him. Can he get in her pants? Or will the unsuspecting man whore go a step further and finally tear down her walls? Unlikely. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is no hearts and flowers love story, it is a battle of wills as a woman who trusts no-one denies a man who has never been denied. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Cue fireworks as female sass meets alpha male tenacity. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Besieged will make you laugh, fantasize and perhaps even shed a tear.</div>

I loved this book....but cliffhanger....noooo now i've got to wait to see whats happening! Damn i hate and love cliffhanger, especially with this story...you'll know once you've read it.<br />
<br />
Love the banter and chemistry between Lilly and Theo! Love the chase and challenge Lilly throws at Theo, I suppose if your used to having whatever you want and a sudden denial, its fresh and a challenge he is happily to accept, especially is a stunning women like Lilly. Both have commitment issues, both a professional player in this field of game of seduction, now they both have found there match and neither is willing to giving in so easily but there is no denial in the all firework and sexual chemistry that surround them whenever they are close.<br />
<br />
There both just wasn't expecting how great they actually fit each other and easily they ease into each others life. A feeling they haven't had or was avoiding before but now they have to face it or risk losing each other.<br />
<br />
Really loved it, the sexiness he caring and protectiveness from Theo is super sweet, they just seem great together. Just go and read it...i don't even know how to sale this book to you. It was just amazing to read and i couldn't put it down. Super hot sexy billionaire playboy meets super sexy smart solicitor both have a league of there own...what do you think the battle is like...eeks... <br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">Sky Davis is fed up of boyfriend Grant taking her for granted and when she comes home to find him wearing a girl, Sky suspects the relationship is over. She takes an unscheduled holiday and leaves the life (and guy) she hates behind. </span></div>

<span style="color: #666666;">Rock star Dylan Morgan is struggling with fame and infamy, sick of his life being controlled by other people. Dylan cuts his hair and walks away from his role as lead singer of Blue Phoenix, leaving chaos and speculation behind.</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666;">Sky decides Dylan is an arrogant guy with too many tattoos, and Dylan is amused by the smart-mouthed girl with no idea who he is.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">Really enjoyed this book, it was one of those holiday romance you take away to read. It's a bittersweet love story, it will just draw you in from the first page. Two people from different world, cross path and finds that they share some much more memories than than they realise. Two people have never met before but goes back to the same place, a place where they both feel safe and able to find themselves again. Re-living each others childhood days, which they find they love the some things. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">Both running away from reality and hiding in paradise, they become who they really want to be and lost in each others fantasies, which became a summer thing. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">Once you read into the book you really do feel the attraction they have for each, how it process and how they slow except each, living the moment and forgetting the reality they are running from. But of course reality always finds it way to hit back at us and wake us up from paradise. Sky finally finds out who Dylan really is, thanks to good google. Reality overwrites all the fantasy they share, which made sky delusional. Now she confuse on who to believe, they time they have together or the things all over the internet. Dylan on the other hand is not delusional, he believe he's truly found himself and willing to do anything keep this moment forever making this summer thing so much more, He just got to show and prove it to Sky that this is actually real. Everything. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">Its really a love story, that people really do find one another in a unexpected places, places you unexpectedly share some love and memory for. Like Dylan say its fate that bring them there at the same time and place. Things are just meant be. Of course reality always give us challenge and its never as smooth as a fairytale, they both have to face the real world which they where running from. Will there summer love be able to become forever and strong enough for all the craziness that lay ahead, especially for Sky, as Dylan is rockstar you can image all the reputation. Trust place a part in the challenge. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">The character build up for Sky and Dylan is really great, i can feel the emotions they both hold in the story. The frustration, the love, the denial, the anticipation, it really is a roller coaster of emotion. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">However, ahhh a cliffhanger, now i have to wait to see what happen next for this love birds, will they be able to over that barrier or reality really isn't as good as being in the fantasy world. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">"Sky! Waves!" </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">I have my back to the ocean and a wave crashes against my legs, destabilising me. I regain my footing and attempt to move before the retreating water sucks my feet into the sand. At that moment a larger wave wipes me completely, dragging my body underwater. I panic at the confusion of being pushed and pulled out of my control, seawater swirling hair into my face and the bubbles rushing into my ears. The shell remains tightly gripped in my hand.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">As water draws away, I push my head free. Dylan stands on the edge of the shore, water lapping his ankles, laughing. I spit out sea water and stagger to my feet. The weight of the damp hoodie threatens to pull me down again as I push hair from my eyes.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">"That was fucking funny! You should see your face!" He wades towards me, arm outstretched to help.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">Attempting to keep my footing, I lunge at him and slap his hard chest with both palms. "It was not! Screw you!” Dylan catches my arms as I make contact, and pulls me towards him.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">Scrutinizing my face briefly, Dylan takes my cheeks in his broad palms and crushes his lips against mine. I gasp again, but it's not the sea snatching my breath this time. A new wave sways us, and Dylan holds my face tightly, his own footing steady as his mouth claims mine. A small voice in my head asks what the hell I’m doing but I ignore it - Dylan overwhelms all common sense the moment I have any physical contact with him. Losing myself in his mint-flavoured kiss, in the slide of his cool tongue, I yield to the power he holds over me. Dylan curls his fingers into my wet hair and pulls me closer; I respond with a deep kiss, tracing fingers across his stubbled cheek.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">Fierce or gentle, his kisses mould my soul to his as perfectly as his body shapes with mine, as if we’re in a place created by our coming together. Kissing Dylan last night pulled me into his orbit, and when I see stars again, I swear his kisses will always take me to the edge of his galaxy. If Dylan can remove me from reality with just this, god knows what anything else he's skilful at would do to me. The thought of us skin on skin, united through more than a kiss, lights a fire deep inside that would take more than the cold Cornish sea to extinguish.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">Dylan loosens his grip on my hair and slides his hands across my damp back. He closes the final gap between us as our bodies meet, and I wish the rain-soaked clothes weren’t in the way. “I have never met anyone so…” He grasps for a word then gives up and rests his forehead on mine. “I feel as if I’ve waited my whole life to meet you and then suddenly you’re here.”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">For a moment I consider whether he’s teasing me again, but I guess I’m very different to the people in his real life. "I can honestly say I've never met anyone like you, Dylan Morgan."</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">He wipes water from my cheek with cool, damp fingers. "No-one’s met Dylan Morgan apart from you. Not for a lot of years, anyway.”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">I stare at the truth reflected in his pale blue eyes, unable to believe any of this is reality. His grip on my back loosens, and I step back. Rain drips down his face, soaking through his T-shirt and clinging to his body in a way that does nothing to help my mounting desire to get my hands on him.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

She loves nothing more than spending time with her husband and beautiful daughter, or curling up into the early hours of the morning with a great novel. By day, Lisa works in the analytical IT field, so relishes the opportunity to foster her creative side through writing. Her deep appreciation for literature was nurtured from a young age, being taught to respect books and get lost in their stories. She enjoys reading honest and realistic novels that are relatable, thought provoking and leave a lasting impression. She can’t write without music playing, using the emotions from different songs to invoke that of her characters. Lisa takes inspiration from her own life experiences, the people around her and those she has met in her travels. </span></span></div>

Her<br />
<br />
I wanted to have a pity party of one when I went for that beer. I never imagined I would meet a dark and dangerous man. That man took me on the wildest ride of my life. Literally and Figuratively. He quickly became my entire world.<br />
<br />
Him<br />
<br />
I didn't know I was looking for her. I saw her warming that bar stool and knew she would be mine. A man like me doesn't deserve the likes of her. But damned if I didn't take it.<br />
<br />
Her<br />
<br />
When we met for the first time we didn't know that we already had a connection. A cruel game was being played, and we didn't know the rules. Sam would save us, but at what cost? Sam was one of my main reasons for living. If he wasn't in this world anymore, would I still want to be a part of it?<br />

Don't really know where to start for this review...First of all, i did enjoy it, it was a little mystery mixed in a love story but however some parts of it, i was a little confused and lost. I felt the main character moved way to quick, i didn't really feel that attraction between them, the next thing i read they are together and boom the brother just knows. Like there was a jump that i wasn't expecting, especially when believe the brother was overprotective. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The storyline could be developed and build up more, its got a good base, i just felt like it was a little rush. Like it was just touch base, i was looking for more nitty and gritty, especially with the mystery part. I was waiting for something big to happen or more elaboration but it just solve quite quick. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Overall, it was a easy and enjoyable read but it was like a taster, need a little bit more seasoning to spice it up. Give it ago, lots of sexy scene and hot man on motorbikes and uniform too... </div>

I am a married mom of three perfectly crazy children (They get it from their father.) I'm in school for my BSN. I'm an avid reader and go through books like candy. Romance books are my vice, and you will never catch me not reading something. I've had Boomtown's story floating around in my brain for some time, and finally decided to just go ahead and write it.</div>

My cock has an appetite.<br />
<br />
A huge and very particular appetite: Blonde, curvy, and preferably not a fucking liar... (Although, that's a story for another day.)<br />
<br />
As a high profile lawyer, I don't have time to waste on relationships, so I fulfill my needs by anonymously chatting and sleeping with women I meet online.<br />
<br />
My rules are simple: One dinner. One night. No repeats.<br />
<br />
This is only casual sex. Nothing more. Nothing less.<br />
<br />
At least it was, until "Alyssa"...<br />
<br />
She was supposed to be a 27 year old lawyer, a book hoarder, and completely unattractive. She was supposed to be someone I shared law advice with late at night, someone I could trust with details of my weekly escapades.<br />
<br />
But then she came into my firm for an interview—a college-intern interview, and everything fucking changed...<br />

<br />
She is the "imaginary bestselling" author of the Jilted Bride Series, Mid Life Love, Wasted Love, and Captain of My Soul.<br />
<br />

<em>"I’ve never understood a year. A year was always a measurement of something bad for me. A year in my father’s prison sentence, a year since my mom’s death, a year left of school before I could get far, far away from here. Now, as I look down the end of my college career, with only a little more than a semester to go, a year seems like something magical. It has been a year since Lily chose me, since she sat with me on the old swing set and made a decision that I was worthy of her. And every minute of the entire year has been better than the last."</em></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong></strong>You already know their stories: Lily, the perfect princess, always living someone else's life. And Jack, the broken boy, who had stopped believing in hope. Somehow, though, they found each other and what was one night blossomed into a love story. Now, a year later, Jack and Lily are dreaming of the future. Despite all of his promises to himself that he would never be indebted to anyone, Jack makes a new promise - this time to Lily - that he will be there for her forever. But when life unravels for them, he starts to pull away, and Lily worries he's out of reach for good. When Jack does the unthinkable, Lily is left destroyed. Is it possible to have a happily ever after? Does love ever really save anyone?</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<em style="font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.625;"><b style="font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.625;">Sarah Daltry writes about the regular people who populate our lives. She's written works in various
genres - romance, erotica, fantasy, horror. Genre isn't as important as telling a story about people and
how their lives unfold. Sarah tends to focus on YA/NA characters but she's been known to shake it up. </b></em></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; line-height: 26px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<em style="font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.625;"><b style="font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.625;"> Most of her stories are about relationships - romantic, familial, friendly - because love and empathy
are the foundation of life. It doesn't matter if the story is set in contemporary NY, historical Britain, or
a fantasy world in the future - human beings are most interesting in the ways they interact with others.
This is the principle behind all of Sarah's stories.
Sarah has spent most of her life in school, from her BA and MA in English and writing to teaching both at
the high school and college level. She also loves studying art history and really anything because learning
is fun.
When Sarah isn't writing, she tends to waste a lot of time checking Facebook for pictures of cats,
shooting virtual zombies, and simply staring out the window.</b></em></div>

<em style="font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.625;"><b style="font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.625;"> Sarah has also written <a href="http://sarahdaltry.com/edens-fall-series/bitter-fruits-1/" target="_blank"><em>Bitter Fruits</em></a>, an urban fantasy romance, and <a href="http://sarahdaltry.com/standalone-novels/backward-compatible-a-geek-love-story/" target="_blank"><em>Backward Compatible</em></a>, a gamer geek romantic comedy. </b></em><br />

EXCERPT:<br />
<br />
There are exactly five people in this town that know me, or of me. My neighbor Bentley,<br />
<br />
the bouncer where I work, Brock, the pimply faced kid who works the late shift at the<br />
<br />
liquor store, the chick at the Knight’s Super Foods who always seems to be working<br />
<br />
when I go in and Penny, the manager at the club who hired me. It’s just enough people<br />
<br />
to be safe and few enough to avoid drawing any attention to myself. I’m not a hermit.<br />
<br />
I just don’t like people all that much anymore. I suppose if shown a picture in a line-up<br />
<br />
some of the gym junkies where I box with Brock would be able to say ‘yeah, I’ve seen<br />
<br />
her’ but I doubt they’d remember my name. I like my quiet life. No distractions. It allows<br />
<br />
me to keep my eyes open and to stay alert and watch for the real danger. It’s not easy<br />
<br />
being paranoid and afraid all the time. Somewhere over the last year I went from feeling<br />
<br />
non-stop sorrow and bone-crushing guilt to rage. Pure hate. It fills me. It drives me now.<br />
<br />
I train because of it. I stay alert because of it. And I will achieve my objective because<br />
<br />
of it. Ezra will come for me. I realize he is the only thing keeping my hurt around. It was<br />
<br />
his fault. It still is and yet, I’m the one paying. I gave up my life, my love, my soul. Ezra<br />
<br />
has to pay and I am determined to make it happen, on my terms. I just have to stay alive<br />
<br />
long enough to kill him first. I have to do this. He ruined my life. I have nothing. I am<br />
<br />
nothing. I want it done as soon as possible. I’ve bided my time for so long now. Then I<br />
<br />
will forget. I will begin my life and I will forget that I ever knew him.<br />

Wow. What a storyline . . .<br />
<br />
The plot thickens. This is not a smooth ride. Bumps lace the road. Objective is not a hearts and flowers book. Magnolia is running from her past. A past bloodied and buried in brutal memories. What starts out as a sweet high school romance gets twisted up in a dirty mess. Magnolia and Cane should have lived out their romance as purely as it begun but that wasn't the case. Brutal reality hits hard and tragedy tears them apart.<br />
<br />
Alone and grieving, with only the road as her companion, Magnolia seeks a safe haven far from her roots. Scared to let anyone in, in fear of getting them caught up in her twisted life. A change is necessary. In drastic times, drastic changes are needed. Adapt or die.<br />
<br />
All I wanted for her was for her to find a peaceful place. To build a relationship with someone new and let go of her painful past. That is not the case. As I said, this is not a sappy story. Besides the gut-wrenching flashbacks that we share. The sadness of her perfect life as it once was.<br />
<br />
Full of surprises, this book will keep you guessing. Objective is a dark story that will leave you feeling empty, scared and unsettled for the main character. It connects with the reader.<br />
<br />
If you want something different then give Objective a go.<br />

She will go to any length to ensure her customers get their perfect happily ever after, but has accepted the fact she may not get hers. The only two men she ever loved, left her, and she vowed not to let the heartbreak happen a third time. She leaves guys before they leave her and usually she’s fine with that, until one night that she can’t remember, changes everything. </span><span style="color: #181818; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">
James Dawson, self-proclaimed ladies’ man and all round womaniser has the best one night stand he’s ever had and does he get the chance to repeat it? No, because she can’t even remember it! With his ego pushing him to remedy that immediately he sets about pursuing the woman who could easily be his downfall.
When someone from James’ past settles herself in town and threatens the reprise he was hoping for, will he be able to overcome the temptation and prove himself to be the man Laurel can’t live without? Or will they both let underlying fears, past mistakes and uncertain futures lead them down a different path?
Book Two in the Truth Series - can be read standalone.</span><span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;">This is book 2 in the Truth series. You can read them as stand alone book. I had not read the first book in the series but that didn't matter. The only instance I felt slightly lost is when you meet the characters from the first book. You feel as though missed something but this doesn't effect the story at all.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;">This is a fresh story. It felt great to be reading about our fair London with characters in realistic jobs, leading realistic lives. This gives a feeling of empathy with the characters. Both of which I loved. James and Laurel are our love birds in Sweet Reflection. What starts as a one night drunken fling turns into a full blown romance. I love how the story grows from the beginning. The banter that they share is great throughout the book and full of sexual tension. I was rooting for them because they are just so perfect together. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;">This story comes without much drama which is really refreshing to read if you want something easy to pick up. It is a fun book but there are some emotional bits that will choke you up. There were a few instances where I wanted to know more. Laurel's ex pops up a few times in conversation then we finally bump into him later in the book but I don't feel the meeting was really needed, brief as it was. I would have liked to know a bit more of her history with him there but that is out of my own curiousity.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;">The sex scenes are rather juicy. For starters, we have two hotties that have sparks flying between them. Sexual tension is radiating between them from the start so when they do finally get down to business, the fireworks pop. I felt like a somewhat pervy fly on the wall ;) which is what we want truthfully right?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;">I thoroughly enjoyed Sweet Reflection and would recommend it to anyone that likes a good romance. I would also like to read about some of the other characters so I will definately be looking out for the next in the series :)</span></div>

has been extensively revised and includes new scenes.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></b><br />

Walsh is a trusting soul with the quiet beauty of her late mother, who perished
in a mysterious car crash when Ember was three. A little tomboyish from being
raised by her father, Ember packs a punch when a stranger gets pushy with her
in a bar, catching the steely blue eyes of a tall, gorgeous tattooed man—Trace
Montgomery. Still damaged from her last disastrous relationship and warned off
the bad boy by friends, Ember fights the smoldering heat that Trace sparks in
her when he begins shadowing her like a dark angel. </span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: black; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">Burdened
by a lifetime of horror and heartbreak, amateur fighter Trace doesn’t want to
want Ember. His deep self-loathing keeps him from having any meaningful
relationships, but Ember is an itch he can’t scratch. The two push and pull,
slowly crumbling their walls, seemingly brought together by fate, because the turmoil
that haunts their pasts is interlinked in undeniable ways. But can these two
fighters finally lay down their arms? </span></span></span><br />

ever wants, is to know that she’s worth fighting for. All any man ever wants,
is to know that he can take care of his woman. Protect her, provide for her,
look after her needs and desires. That’s enough. Right? WRONG. It matters where
they come from. It matters who their family is. Especially when it’s from polar
opposite worlds. <o:p></o:p></span></span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This book was way to short for my liking...seriously man it felt like a starter but i thought the pre-qual (Scorpion Mc: Ryder) was the starter this was going to be all heavy and bam juicy meal but no..more teasing. God, you making me more hungry for the next. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This story continues on with Ryder and Jade, where they face they first, yet toughest challenge of their relationship. Caught in the middle, facing love or their family. Decision decision. Ryder has to make this difficult choice for the both of them, its even more tough for him as the choice between the love of his life or his closest family. Leaving either one, is like a stab to the heart, fighting hard but sometimes decision are force upon you that you have to take that road. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The story does take you on a little emotional journey, fight for the one you love as well as your family, protecting them, yet which one comes first, the heart and mind fighting against each to other. The chemistry between Jade and Ryder is strong, you can really feel they love they have for each other and have a flying sparks between them. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The story is just building up, i feel there more curiosity busting to come out. More barrier to test Ryder and Jade's love. </span><br />

<span style="background: white; color: #181818;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Jani has been married for
a long time to a special man, and her two children and their partners are the
sunshine in her life. She is a voracious reader and would spend her last dollar
on a book - always fascinated that for the mere price of a book, she can escape
her world for a while and see through someone else's eyes.</span></span><span style="color: #181818;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;">
<br />
<span style="background: white;">Besides reading, her favorite 'thing' is
traveling - she has traveled the world, learning about the ways people live and
has come to the realization that no matter where we live, we all ultimately
want the same things. Her hobby - Scrapbooking - keeps her up till way after
midnight and her usual subjects are her family and her travels.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">Ever since she can remember, Jani wanted to
write stories about people, about their lives and loves. Relationships and
Happiness - arguably the most difficult things to master in life and yet
exactly what everyone ultimately desires (in her humble opinion).</span></span></span></span><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />
