With two little lines on a pregnancy test, everything in Lizzy Rollins' ordinary life is about to change forever. And all because of one big mistake in Vegas with Ben Nicholson, the irresistibly sexy bass player for Stage Dive. So what if Ben's the only man she's ever met who can make her feel completely safe, cherished, and out of control with desire at the same time? Lizzy knows the gorgeous rock star isn't looking for anything more permanent than a good time, no matter how much she wishes differently.</span></div>

Completely and utterly. She's his best friend's little sister now, and no matter how hot the chemistry is between them, no matter how sweet and sexy she is, he's not going to go there. But when Ben is forced to keep the one girl he's always had a weakness for out of trouble in Sin City, he quickly learns that what happens in Vegas, doesn't always stay there. Now he and Lizzie are connected in the deepest way possible...but will it lead to a connection of the heart?</span></div>

This is the last book in the Stage Dive series and I just want more! After months of teasers and snippets I couldn't wait to dive right in and what a book it was. We got to see Ben and Lizzy's journey from the very beginning and what a sweet and lovely journey it was. If not with a few bumps along the way.<br /><br />Ben is the man in Stage Dive who we never really saw much of, or heard much about and so going into this book I was very intrigued about the last member of Stage Dive. What is he really like under the tough persona? <br /><br />Lizzy is the younger sister of Anne, who is outgoing, carefree but has a goal in life and is working towards it. Her and Ben start a friendship and truly get each other and text all the time. They know a fair bit about each other and there is a lot of sexual tension between the two. It is a trip to Vegas when this tension unfolds and sparks fly. But what happens in Vegas, definitely doesn't always stay in Vegas. Lizzy soon finds herself pregnant with Ben's baby. Can they manage to work things out as friends, or could this lead to something more?<br /><br />I loved the banter between the two and there was never a dull moment or when I found my attention straying. Ben is your broody, mysterious guy who has found his match in the sassy, bubbly and outgoing Lizzy and the two really are great together. They understand that they have new responsibilities together and aim to work with each other to overcome the new obstacle in their lives. Babies are a lot of work, but theyre willing to give things a try to give their child the best start in life. Ben was a little bit of an idiot at the start of the book, but he soon comes around and shows us the sweet and tender side that we all can't help but love.<br /><br />As always, we get to have glimpses into the other couples from Stage Dive and I loved how their stories were incorporated and it's great to see what they all have now too, and what their futures hold.<br /><br />This series has to be one of my favourites, as all the characters are ones that you hold dear to yourself and can revisit again and again. I will be sad to see them go, but what a journey! I cannot wait for Kylie's next work and can only hope that it will be as good as this one. </span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 24px; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">4.5*</span></span><br />

I’m actually not. Now see, this is where we have a problem.” I folded my arms. Then unfolded them because like fuck I’d look defensive. He was the one in the wrong, not me. “You’re not prepared to take me, or my feelings, seriously. What you want is to hide away in Mr. Too Cool for Commitment land and just play with my affections when it suits you. Okay, I’ve accepted that.

With two little lines on a pregnancy test, everything in Lizzy Rollins' ordinary life is about to change forever. And all because of one big mistake in Vegas with Ben Nicholson, the irresistibly sexy bass player for Stage Dive. So what if Ben's the only man she's ever met who can make her feel completely safe, cherished, and out of control with desire at the same time? Lizzy knows the gorgeous rock star isn't looking for anything more permanent than a good time, no matter how much she wishes differently.</span></div>

Completely and utterly. She's his best friend's little sister now, and no matter how hot the chemistry is between them, no matter how sweet and sexy she is, he's not going to go there. But when Ben is forced to keep the one girl he's always had a weakness for out of trouble in Sin City, he quickly learns that what happens in Vegas, doesn't always stay there. Now he and Lizzie are connected in the deepest way possible...but will it lead to a connection of the heart?</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Race car mechanic Andressa “Andi” Amaro has one rule—no dating drivers. With a good reason behind the rule, she has no plans on breaking it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Carrick Ryan is the bad boy of Formula One. With a face and body that melts panties on si</div>
<a name='more'></a>ght, and an Irish lilt that leaves women on their knees, begging for more. He races hard and parties harder. The youngest driver to ever sign with F1, he’s still at the top of his game five years later, breaking hearts on and off the tracks.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
When Andi is offered her dream job working in the glamorous world of F1, she leaves her home in Brazil, positive she can handle working for Carrick. But she’s not prepared for the off-the-chart sparks that fly the moment they meet.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now, Andi has a crush on the one man she can’t have, and her resolve is about to be put to the test, because Carrick has decided he wants Andi, and he plans on testing her to the very limit…</div>

I run my fingertips over the blue-and-silver paintwork as I walk toward the back end. Bending over, I start poking around, taking a look at the engine.
“Please tell me that you’re my birthday present.”
The Irish drawl has the hairs on the back of my neck standing on end.
I turn my head to find Carrick Ryan standing behind me.
<i>Oh. Wow.</i>
He’s definitely better looking in the flesh than on television. I knew he was attractive. But blonds aren’t usually my thing. I’m more of a dark-hair-and-dark-eyes kind of girl.
But his dirty-blond hair, blue eyes laced with sin, and full lips—the kind of lips you spend hours sucking on—and that chiseled jaw decorated with stubble…yep, it all seems to be working for me. Well, my body anyway. Definitely not my head. Man-sluts are not my thing.
My eyes meet with his as he lifts them from blatantly staring at my arse. The look in them hits me straight in the gut, surprising the hell out of me. His eyes are profoundly blue and filled with heat. My skin starts to prickle as his intense stare burns me up.
I’ve never had such an instant visual reaction to a man before.
<i>Fuck.</i>
<i>Take it easy, Andi. This isn’t a problem. You’ve met good-looking men before. You can turn this off. Drivers are a no-go area, especially ones you work for. </i>
My job is too important to lose over a man.
Straightening, I turn to face him.
“Hello,” I say in my most confident and formal voice.
I get nothing back, and that’s because he hasn’t heard me. He’s too busy staring at my breasts.
<i>Typical man. </i>
I have the sudden urge to punch him in his handsome face.
But I won’t because I’m a professional. I’ll handle this in the best way I know when it comes to dealing with pervy dickheads like him.
“It’s your birthday?” I say sweetly, my smile a little on the flirtatious side.
He grins. “It sure is, and it’s definitely looking up now that you’re here. Are you going to make it extra special for me, sugar?”
He thinks he’s about to get lucky.
<i>Far from it. Smarmy twat.</i>
I tilt my head to the side, keeping the flirty smile on my face, as I walk up to him until there’s very little space between us. I press my fingers to his chest. <i>God, that’s firm</i>. I can feel the ridge of his muscles underneath my fingertips.
He’s tall, too, a good few inches higher than my five-nine. I’d say he’s six-one, which is tall for a driver, but he’s lean. He needs to be to fit into those cars. I bet, under those clothes of his, there’s nothing but toned muscle. Drivers have to be seriously fit, and Carrick Ryan certainly ticks that box on both counts.
Now, I’m imagining him naked. <i>Great. Just fucking great.</i>
I force my focus back to the now. “Well…” I lean in closer to him, hearing him suck in a sharp breath. I lower my voice as I whisper, “If you ever call me sugar again, you won’t see your next birthday. That’s for sure.”
He tilts his head back in amusement. “Feisty. I like it.”
I take a step back, dropping my hand from his chest. “There’s nothing here for you to like.”
His eyes run the length of me, lingering on my legs, the lusty look firing in them again. “I see plenty to like. Jesus…your legs go on forever.”
I wish I had something to hide my legs behind. Instead, I fold my arms to bring his focus up. “I’m not your type.”
Lifting his eyes back to mine, he gives me a confident smile. “Amazing arse. Great stems. Awesome rack. Beautiful face. Yep”—he nods—“you’re definitely my type.”

Now it’s just an empty space, a void filled with nothing but grief and loss. I have nothing left. I have no more to give. I was Violet Dyson again for a little while. She returned when a handsome stranger came into my life. Hudson Stone, even thinking his name makes me shudder. I miss him. He left me three weeks ago and every day since then slowly but surely Violet Dyson is leaving again. I can feel her shutting herself behind a concrete wall and locking her heart away from any future damage that can be caused. That’s if there even is a heart inside me anymore. It was shattered when he left, and now The Violet Widow, is once again creeping up on me, bubbling up to the surface back to where she belongs.<br /><br /><a href="http://s1168.photobucket.com/user/francesscawebster/media/Teaser%204_zpst2yibm0p.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo Teaser 4_zpst2yibm0p.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1168.photobucket.com/albums/r492/francesscawebster/Teaser%204_zpst2yibm0p.jpg" width="550" /></a><br /><br /><b style="color: red; font-size: 16px;"> </b></span><br />

<span class="body"><b style="color: red; font-size: 16px;"> Review<br /></b><span style="color: red; font-size: 16px;"><span style="color: black;">What a sequel! KE Osborn really knows how to kick it up a notch to give us an action packed sequel that is full of angst and drama and had me anticipating the next part every time. All the questions that you had from the first book are answered and we get to delve further into the lives of Hudson and Violet. Can they make it forward after everything has been revealed? Can love really overcome this obstacle?<br /><br />Violet and Hudson have gotten themselves into some deep trouble. They have the Mad Dog MC after their repayment for the drugs, and their leader is after Violet and her company. In order to protect her, Hudson must watch over Violet in protective custody. Being in close confinement with one another forces the two together and to reconsider their actions and their separation. <br /><br />After Violets job is revealed, Hudson is adamant that he and Violet cannot be together. After all, he is a Policeman, it just wont work. But how can he stay away from her when he is madly in love with her. Is he ready to give it all up? Or can he look past it and make a future with Violet?<br /><br />As well as the ongoing internal battle between Violet and Hudson, there is a lot of background action and the book definitely takes a darker turn as the two worlds of Violet and the MC collides. These scenes had me on the edge of my seat and added a real feel of drama to the book. <br /><br />KE Osborn is amazing at giving us emotional books with added drama and this is no exception. I loved watching Hudson and Violet fight for their love and strive to create a future for themselves, regardless of what was thrown at them. There is a lot of pain and heartache in this book, but it aims to show that even after the worst of life, if you work there can always be a happier future and one filled with new love and life. Sometimes love is worth fighting for.<br /><br />A truly brilliant read and such a great sequel. KE Osborns books for me, just keep on getting better and I cant wait to see what she next has instore. Loved it!</span></span></span></div>

Having worked in the optical industry for some time, K E Osborn decided it was time to leave the optical world behind and start on something new. With a background in graphic design and a flair for all things creative, she tried her hand at writing. <br />K E Osborn hid the fact that she was writing from her family, as she believed her first story was simply something she had to get on paper first and then judge if it was good enough for others to read. It wasn’t until her mother found a printed version of the manuscript that her secret came out. She was a writer, and she loved it. Writing gives her life purpose. It makes her feel, laugh, cry, and get completely enveloped with the characters and their story lines. She feels at home when writing.<br /><br /><b style="color: red; font-size: 16px;">Stalk KE Osborn</b><br /><br /><a href="http://www.keosbornauthor.com/" style="text-decoration: underline;">Website</a><br /><a href="https://www.facebook.com/KEOsborn" style="text-decoration: underline;">Facebook</a><br /><a href="https://twitter.com/KEOsbornAuthor" style="text-decoration: underline;">Twitter</a><br /><a href="http://www.tsu.co/KEOsborn" style="text-decoration: underline;">TSU</a><br /><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/7203933.K_E_Osborn" style="text-decoration: underline;">Goodreads</a><br /><br /><a href="http://s1168.photobucket.com/user/francesscawebster/media/Teaser6_zps0j52fdv5.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo Teaser6_zps0j52fdv5.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1168.photobucket.com/albums/r492/francesscawebster/Teaser6_zps0j52fdv5.jpg" width="550" /></a><br /><br /><b style="color: red; font-size: 16px;">Other Books In the Series <br /><br />The Violet Widow </b><br /><br /><a href="http://s1168.photobucket.com/user/francesscawebster/media/EbookCover_zps52623eb0.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo EbookCover_zps52623eb0.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1168.photobucket.com/albums/r492/francesscawebster/EbookCover_zps52623eb0.jpg" width="150" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://amzn.to/1Mu3Poo" style="text-decoration: underline;">Amazon UK</a><br /><a href="http://amzn.to/1BrSa5N" style="text-decoration: underline;">Amazon USA</a><br /><a href="http://goo.gl/5eRopn" style="text-decoration: underline;">Amazon CA</a><br /><a href="http://goo.gl/sJmcSB" style="text-decoration: underline;">Amazon AUS</a></span></div>

<b><i>A beautiful violinist who lives next door…</i></b>
<b><i>The obsessed rock star who watches her... </i></b>
<b><i>And the one night she bares it all. </i></b>
<b><i> </i></b>
<b>Description:</b>
Vital Rejects front guy Sebastian Tate never imagined his YouTube music video would go viral, sky-rocketing him to acting success in Hollywood. <i>Okay, maybe he did.</i> After all, he’s a cocky dude who knows he’s hot-as-hell, and it was only a matter of time before his stars aligned.
But life in Tinseltown is never what it seems.
After being<br />
<a name='more'></a> cheated on, Sebastian’s only rule to falling in love is simple: <i>Keep Calm and Don’t Do It.</i> Spying on his mysterious new neighbor with binoculars seems innocent enough, but quickly escalates into an erotic game between two very unlikely people.
Twenty-year-old Violet St. Lyons is a world-renowned violinist who's lost her mojo on stage. She hides away in a Hollywood mansion, trying to find her way through her twisted past in order to make her future.
He’s the life of the party with girls chasing him down for his autograph. She’s the introvert with a potty mouth who doesn’t even know <b>who</b> he is.
When they meet, stars collide, sparks fly, and clothes come off. Yet, giving his heart to a girl isn’t Sebastian’s plan; falling for a guy who craves attention isn’t Violet’s.
Welcome to Briarcrest Academy—Hollywood style—where sometimes the best things in life are <b>VERY TWISTED THINGS</b><b>.<br /></b>

<i> </i>Prologue</div>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_Toc411254663"></a><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_Toc411254465"></a>Violet</h2>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>“Fairy dust is not real. This I know.”</i> —from the journal of Violet St. Lyons</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Boom!</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I, Violet St. Lyons, who once believed herself the luckiest girl in the world, was born on the same day that the Violette–Sells comet was discovered. My parents, two avid stargazers, said it was a sign of how special I was and promptly named me Violet. They claimed my life had been blessed with fairy dust.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At the very least, comet residue.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I’d foolishly believed it for eighteen years, until the moment of my death.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Which was now.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Boom!</i> Another explosion rocked the plane and metal ripped away as a section of the aircraft to my right vanished. Luggage flew through the air. People disappeared. The mom with the baby who’d sat in the aisle across from us—gone. The redheaded flight attendant who’d been collecting trash—gone. Disembodied screams echoed from the surrounding passengers as my own scream took up most of the space in my head. Air sucked at us viciously from the outside as a tornado of people banged around the space and one by one got pulled out into the swirling abyss.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I watched, helplessly transfixed, as I sat between my parents, gripping each of their hands as the plane we’d boarded six hours earlier for Dublin spiraled toward the Atlantic Ocean. I was going to die. My mother was already dead, a twisted piece of shrapnel sticking grotesquely from her chest as her head lolled around her neck. Blood had already soaked her shirt, yet I refused to let go of her hand. She’d be okay. We were always okay. We were the St. Lyons family of Manhattan, an icon of old money wealth with deep political ties. Page six of the <i>New</i> <i>York Times</i> featured pictures of us on a monthly basis. We couldn’t die on a plane.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Reality dawned as we plummeted. The yellow breathing apparatus dropped and dangled in my face, taunting me with its pointlessness. Fire and black smoke boiled in front of us where the cockpit had been, and my mind recognized that the pilots had to be dead. Just a few minutes ago, they’d come over the intercom and announced that the plane was making its descent into Dublin Airport exactly on schedule.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then the first explosion had gone off.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Bits of debris flew around, narrowly missing me. My elderly father grabbed my hand and squeezed, his face drawn back in a horrible grimace.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Paralyzed in my seat, we spun like a drunken top, and a part of my brain noticed the sun was rising, its pink tinge lending a soft glow, catching the reflection of clouds and making them silver-lined. The rocky coast of Ireland glittered in the distance. Mocking me. We’d been headed there to celebrate my eighteenth birthday.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just then my violin case flew past my head from the overhead compartment and crashed against the wall of the plane. Shards flew. I shuddered and wanted to vomit. God, help us. We were here because of me. Our deaths were my fault. I spared a glance at the diamond promise ring Geoff had given me before we’d left.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Would the Mayor of New York’s son go on without me?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The air was turbulent yet thin, and my chest tightened as dizziness pulled at me. I resisted. Had to stay awake. Had to be with my dad. I was younger, stronger, faster. My eyes went to the gaping hole in the plane. Had to think ahead. Plan. Water would fill up the plane on impact, ensuring we’d sink rapidly.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My fear escalated as the ocean rushed at us, its surface choppy and ominous. I took in a giant breath and braced myself. We hit at an angle, the plane a torpedo as it sliced into the sea. Daddy disappeared, ejected by the impact, and I yanked on my seat belt, unclicking it to go after him. Heart thundering, I sent a final look at my mother. I wanted to take her with me, but she was gone.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Water everywhere, bubbling and gurgling as it filled up the plane. Salt water stung my eyes. People floated by, some alive as they floundered for the opening. I kept my gaze off the dead ones. <i>Focus. Get out. Only seconds left.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I swam from my seat and fought my way out of the large hole in the plane, lungs exploding. Burning. I’d been under too long.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Daddy! </i>I caught a glimpse of his red shirt above me and kicked harder.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Up, up, up. Must get up. My arms moved. My legs kicked. Excruciating pain. Ignore it. Almost there. So close that I could see the daylight breaking through the water.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The hottest fire I’ve ever known lit in my chest. Scorching.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Air</i>. Just want to breathe. Just get to the top. <i>Please.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My body rebelled and I inhaled and swallowed water, the burn racing down my throat making it spasm as I tried to cough it out. I struggled but took in more and more, the cold liquid filling my lungs.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Dark spots filled my eyes. This was drowning.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Exhausted.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Done.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My body twitched. I grew disoriented.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I let go of the fight. My hands floated in front of me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oblivion.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Darkness.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No bright lights, no tunnel.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No heaven, no mother, no father.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No comets.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No fairy dust.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Two years later</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>“She was music with skin.”</i> —Sebastian Tate</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I tapped my foot.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>What was taking her so long? </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
From my backyard patio in the Hollywood Hills, I watched the odd girl next door with a pair of high-powered binoculars. She flicked on her porch lights, and a low whistle came out of me at the sexy red-as-sin robe she wore, its silky material flashing around her long legs as she moved around. Her hair was down, too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This was new. Where were the usual yoga pants? The ponytail?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She looked like she <i>knew </i>someone watched, but that was impossible since our outside lights were off. Even the light from the moon hit our house at such an angle that she shouldn’t be able to see us just by glancing over. She’d need a high-powered lens to know I was here.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Usually she played facing her rose garden, but this time she walked to the right side of her patio, which faced <i>us</i>. Weird. But she didn’t play. She just stood there without moving. Staring toward our house. Uneasiness went over me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>What was she doing?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Could she see me?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As if it were a fragile bird, she positioned the violin under her chin and began playing, arms bent and wrist poised, making the most exquisite sounds. And I don’t mean classical like Beethoven or Mozart; I mean body-thrashing, blood-thumping, hard-as-hell music that had me rooted to the ground, like she’d slapped iron chains on me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Dark and seductive notes rose up in the air, and I got jacked up, recognizing a Led Zeppelin song, only she’d ripped its guts out and twisted it into something electric. She pushed the bow hard, upping the tempo abruptly, her movements controlled yet wild. My pulse kicked up and my eyes lingered, taking in the slightly parted toned legs and the way her breasts bounced as she jerked her arms to manipulate the strings.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Her robe slipped off her right shoulder, exposing part of her breast. Creamy and full, it quivered, vibrating as she moved her arms. Her rosy nipple teased me, slipping in and out of the folds of the material. I pictured my mouth there, sucking, my fingers plucking, strumming her like my guitar until she begged me to—</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Stop</i>, I told myself. Whoever Violin Girl was, she didn’t deserve me lusting after her while she was pouring her heart out with music.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I zoomed in as far as the binoculars would go, watching her surrender to the music as she bent and swayed from side to side with her eyes closed, black lashes like fans on her cheeks. Every molecule in my body focused on her, hanging on to each note she pulled from her instrument.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She finished and kept her head bowed for the longest time, perhaps letting the emotion wash over her like it had me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The entire event was surreal, yet poignant as fucking poetry.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I let out a deep breath I didn’t even realize I’d been holding.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Who the hell plays <i>Stairway to Heaven</i> with a violin? She did.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Bam! </i>She snapped her head up, her eyes lasering in on mine, making every hair on my body stand at attention.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And then …</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Standing there in the moonlight, she untied her robe and spread apart the sides ever so slightly, her movements seeming almost hesitant, as if she’d had to work herself up. Unfamiliar jealousy hit me and I panned out and checked the rest of the patio, expecting to see a lover. Whoever it was, I wanted to rip him apart piece by piece.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My gaze searched her patio, the backyard, her upstairs balcony. Nothing. No one.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She flicked her dark hair back and stroked the lapels of the robe, her fingers lingering over the lacy material. Suddenly the evening smacked of something <i>more </i>than just music. Her arms moved back and forth across the front, opening the robe halfway and then closing it as if she couldn’t make up her mind.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My eyes went up, trying to read her face. Still as a statue, the only movement was her mouth as it trembled, her full upper lip resting against the pouty lower one.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Violin Girl was trapped in a cage of darkness.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It still didn’t stop me from holding my breath, silently begging her to bare herself to me. She’d already laid bare her music. Part of me needed the rest of her.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She jerked the robe closed, making me groan in disappointment.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And then she did something completely crazy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The lonely girl next door flipped me the bird.</div>

<i>“Fairy dust is not real. This I know.”</i> —from the journal of Violet St. Lyons
<i>Boom!</i>
I, Violet St. Lyons, who once believed herself the luckiest girl in the world, was born on the same day that the Violette–Sells comet was discovered. My parents, two avid stargazers, said it was a sign of how special I was and promptly named me Violet. They claimed my life had been blessed with fairy dust.
At the very least, comet residue.
I’d foolishly believed it for eighteen years, until the moment of my death.
Which was now.
<i>Boom!</i> Another explosion rocked the plane and metal ripped away as a section of the aircraft to my right vanished. Luggage flew through the air. People disappeared. The mom with the baby who’d sat in the aisle across from us—gone. The redheaded flight attendant who’d been collecting trash—gone. Disembodied screams echoed from the surrounding passengers as my own scream took up most of the space in my head. Air sucked at us viciously from the outside as a tornado of people banged around the space and one by one got pulled out into the swirling abyss.
I watched, helplessly transfixed, as I sat between my parents, gripping each of their hands as the plane we’d boarded six hours earlier for Dublin spiraled toward the Atlantic Ocean. I was going to die. My mother was already dead, a twisted piece of shrapnel sticking grotesquely from her chest as her head lolled around her neck. Blood had already soaked her shirt, yet I refused to let go of her hand. She’d be okay. We were always okay. We were the St. Lyons family of Manhattan, an icon of old money wealth with deep political ties. Page six of the <i>New</i> <i>York Times</i> featured pictures of us on a monthly basis. We couldn’t die on a plane.
Reality dawned as we plummeted. The yellow breathing apparatus dropped and dangled in my face, taunting me with its pointlessness. Fire and black smoke boiled in front of us where the cockpit had been, and my mind recognized that the pilots had to be dead. Just a few minutes ago, they’d come over the intercom and announced that the plane was making its descent into Dublin Airport exactly on schedule.
Then the first explosion had gone off.
Bits of debris flew around, narrowly missing me. My elderly father grabbed my hand and squeezed, his face drawn back in a horrible grimace. Fear and then horror flickered across his face as he saw Mother, but there was no time to comfort him.
Paralyzed in my seat, we spun like a drunken top, and a part of my brain noticed the sun was rising, its pink tinge lending a soft glow, catching the reflection of clouds and making them silver-lined. The rocky coast of Ireland glittered in the distance. Mocking me. We’d been headed there to celebrate my eighteenth birthday.
Just then my violin case flew past my head from the overhead compartment and crashed against the wall of the plane. Shards flew. I shuddered and wanted to vomit. God, help us. We were here because of me. Our deaths were my fault. I spared a glance at the diamond promise ring Geoff had given me before we’d left. Would the Mayor of New York’s son go on without me?
The air was turbulent yet thin, and my chest tightened as dizziness pulled at me. I resisted. Had to stay awake. Had to be with my dad. I was younger, stronger, faster. My eyes went to the gaping hole in the plane. Had to think ahead. Plan. Water would fill up the plane on impact, ensuring we’d sink rapidly.
My fear escalated as the ocean rushed at us, its surface choppy and ominous. I took in a giant breath and braced myself. We hit at an angle, the plane a torpedo as it sliced into the sea. Daddy
disappeared, ejected by the impact, and I yanked on my seat belt, unclicking it to go after him. Heart thundering, I sent a final look at my mother. I wanted to take her with me, but she was gone.
Water everywhere, bubbling and gurgling as it filled up the plane. Salt water stung my eyes. People floated by, some alive as they floundered for the opening. I kept my gaze off the dead ones. <i>Focus. Get out. Only seconds left.</i>
I swam from my seat and fought my way out of the large hole in the plane, lungs exploding. Burning. I’d been under too long.
<i>Daddy! </i>I caught a glimpse of his red shirt above me and kicked harder.
Up, up, up. Must get up. My arms moved. My legs kicked. Excruciating pain. Ignore it. Almost there. So close that I could see the daylight breaking through the water.
The hottest fire I’ve ever known lit in my chest. Scorching.
<i>Air</i>. Just want to breathe. Just get to the top. <i>Please.</i>
My body rebelled and I inhaled and swallowed water, the burn racing down my throat making it spasm as I tried to cough it out. I struggled but took in more and more, the cold liquid filling my lungs.
Dark spots filled my eyes. This was drowning.
Exhausted.
Done.
My body twitched. I grew disoriented.
I let go of the fight. My hands floated in front of me.
Oblivion.
Darkness.
No bright lights, no tunnel.
No heaven, no mother, no father.
No comets.
No fairy dust.

Two years later
<i>“She was music with skin.”</i> —Sebastian Tate
I tapped my foot.
<i>What was taking her so long? </i>
From my backyard patio in the Hollywood Hills, I watched the odd girl next door with a pair of high-powered binoculars. She flicked on her porch lights, and a low whistle came out of me at the sexy red-as-sin robe she wore, its silky material flashing around her long legs as she moved around her patio. Her hair was down, too.
This was new. Where were the usual yoga pants? The ponytail?
She looked like she <i>knew </i>someone watched, but that was impossible since our outside lights were off. Even the light from the moon hit our house at such an angle that she shouldn’t be able to see us just by glancing over. She’d need a high-powered lens to know I was here.
Usually she played facing her rose garden, but this time she walked to the right side of her patio, which faced <i>us</i>. Weird. But she didn’t play. She just stood there without moving. Staring toward our house. Uneasiness went over me.
<i>What was she doing?</i>
<i>Could she see me?</i>
As if it were a fragile bird, she positioned the violin under her chin and began playing, arms bent and wrist poised, making the most exquisite sounds. And I don’t mean classical like Beethoven or Mozart; I mean body-thrashing, blood-thumping, hard-as-hell music that had me rooted to the ground, like she’d slapped iron chains on me.
Dark and seductive notes rose up in the air, and I got jacked up, recognizing a Led Zeppelin song, only she’d ripped its guts out and twisted it into something electric. She pushed the bow hard, upping the tempo abruptly, her movements controlled yet wild. My pulse kicked up and my eyes lingered, taking in the slightly parted toned legs and the way her breasts bounced as she jerked her arms to manipulate the strings.
Her body arched forward in a curve, seeming as if she might break into a million pieces before she finished the piece or climaxed first. Then, her robe slipped off her right shoulder, exposing part of her breast. Creamy and full, it quivered, vibrating as she moved her arms. Her rosy nipple teased me, slipping in and out of the folds of the material, erect from the cool mountain air and deliciously bitable. I pictured my mouth there, sucking, my fingers plucking, strumming her like my guitar until she begged me to—
<i>Stop</i>, I told myself just as an appreciative groan came out. Whoever Violin Girl was, she didn’t deserve me lusting after her while she was pouring her heart out with music.
I zoomed in as far as the binoculars would go, watching her surrender to the music as she bent and swayed from side to side with her eyes closed, black lashes like fans on her cheeks. Every molecule in my body focused on her, hanging on to each note she pulled from her instrument.
She finished and kept her head bowed for the longest time, perhaps letting the emotion wash over her like it had me. Then, she bowed to the banana trees and gnomes in her garden, waving her hands in a flourish as she rose.
The entire event was surreal, yet poignant as fucking poetry.
I let out a deep breath I didn’t even realize I’d been holding.
Who the hell plays <i>Stairway to Heaven</i> with a violin? She did.
<i>Bam! </i>She snapped her head up, her eyes lasering in on mine, making every hair on my body stand at attention.
And then …
Standing there in the moonlight, she untied her robe and spread apart the sides ever so slightly, her movements seeming almost hesitant, as if she’d had to work herself up. Unfamiliar jealousy hit me and I panned out and checked the rest of the patio, expecting to see a lover. Whoever it was, I wanted to rip him apart piece by piece.
And didn’t that thought surprise me.
My gaze searched her patio, the backyard, her upstairs balcony. Nothing. No one.
She flicked her dark hair back and stroked the lapels of the robe, her fingers lingering over the lacy material. Suddenly the evening smacked of something <i>more </i>than just music. Her arms moved back and forth across the front, opening the robe halfway and then closing it as if she couldn’t make up her mind.
My eyes went up, trying to read her face. Still as a statue, the only movement was her mouth as it trembled, her full upper lip resting against the pouty lower one. Tears ran down her face, but they seemed more of a defiant act, her jaw tightly set, her shoulders hunched inward as if she’d held it in too long and was giving in, but not without a fight.
Violin Girl was trapped in a cage of darkness.
It still didn’t stop me from holding my breath, silently begging her to bare herself to me. She’d already laid bare her music. Part of me needed the rest of her.
She jerked the robe closed, making me groan in disappointment.
And then she did something completely crazy.
The lonely girl next door flipped me the bird.

<div style="text-align: center;">
Race car mechanic Andressa “Andi” Amaro has one rule—no dating drivers. With a good reason behind the rule, she has no plans on breaking it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Carrick Ryan is the bad boy of Formula One. With a face and body that melts panties on sight, and an Irish lilt that leaves women on their knees, begging for more. He races hard and parties harder</div>
<a name='more'></a>. The youngest driver to ever sign with F1, he’s still at the top of his game five years later, breaking hearts on and off the tracks.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
When Andi is offered her dream job working in the glamorous world of F1, she leaves her home in Brazil, positive she can handle working for Carrick. But she’s not prepared for the off-the-chart sparks that fly the moment they meet.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now, Andi has a crush on the one man she can’t have, and her resolve is about to be put to the test, because Carrick has decided he wants Andi, and he plans on testing her to the very limit…</div>

“Come on…just one piece of bacon.”
“No.” I move my plate toward me, and away from him.
“Aww, come on, baby. You know you wanna give me some.”
Baby?
I feel that word wash through me like an erotic cleansing.
Pressing my thighs and lips together, I shake my head. “Nope. Your smooth Irish charm won’t work on me.”
Grinning, he gives me a look straight from the sex devil. “Aww, Andressa. Baby. If you give me some…I’ll make it worth your while. It can be our little secret. I won’t tell anyone, I promise.”
“How do you manage to make a conversation about bacon sound dirty?”
“I’d say it’s a talent…but maybe it’s not me that’s dirty and it’s you. After all, you are the one interpreting it that way.”

So, yeah, I do think you were standing there daydreaming. Want to know why?” He uses his booted foot to move his chair so that he’s facing me, and then he leans in so that his face is dangerously close to mine. Even when he’s seated, his head is almost level with my own. Curse my horizontally challenged self. “While you were zoning off into space with your fingers running through my hair, you had this smile on your lips. The same smile you had the other day when you were dreaming. About me, Dani. And don’t deny it, because you don’t moan my name if you’re dreaming about another man. Yes, Dani, you very much do talk in your sleep.” He smiles again before leaning back and looking down to his phone. “Clean up my neck please, cut the length off the top, and give me a buzz on the sides. Other than that, you’re clear to continue with your thoughts.”</span></div>

There isn’t a single person in the world, other than Cohen, who can turn me into a ridiculously stupid, sputtering fool. My normal confidence disappears.

Curling my fingers slightly so that I can grab a good hold, I lean in and pull his head back at the same time. With my nose just a hair away from his and our breaths mingling together, I say, “Cohen, you couldn’t handle the truth of my thoughts when it comes to you and we both know it. So how about </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 19px; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">you</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 19px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> let </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 19px; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">me</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 19px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> know when you’re ready for me to </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 19px; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">clue you in</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 19px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">.” I give his hair a light tug and smile when he swallows loudly and shifts in his seat. “Ready for that trim?” I ask with a wink, and I’m rewarded with his groan.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

I can see Lyn trying to get my attention from across the room. Stella had to leave after she overheard my words to Cohen because her giggles were getting the best of her. Cohen has remained silent the whole time. His eyes though… They’re speaking louder than his words ever could.</span></div>

I can feel them every time I shift. When I stopped to go grab another comb after I dropped my fourth one, I felt his gaze follow me across the room to Stella’s station. The few times I stopped cutting to meet his eyes, the heated promise written all over his face almost did me in. I almost just said ‘fuck it’ and climbed on his lap to have a go regardless of the people watching our every move.</span></div>

I continue to pretend I’m busy with the cape I just removed, brushing stray hairs off here and there, when his hand comes up, his finger and thumb hitting my chin, and my face is lifted until I have no choice but to look in his eyes.</span></div>

The next time you allude to those dirty thoughts I know you have about me, don’t think for a second that I won’t drag you to the closest bed to show you just how fucking dirty they’ll get.” He leans close, his scent hitting my nostrils, and I involuntarily inhale deeply, earning me a rumbled chuckle. “What you don’t know, Dani—because contrary to what you think, you don’t know me well enough to assume what having me would really be like. But I promise you this: every little thought that you have had that causes you to moan my name while scissoring those perfect legs back and forth, praying for completion—it would be so much hotter than you could ever imagine.” He gives me a soft, sweet kiss against my temple that has fire racing from that spot all over my body until it ends in the awareness that I’m pretty sure I just came in my pants.</span></div>

However, I call it possessive, overbearing, controlling, demanding, and jerky.</span></div>

His green eyes, so like my own, slant and harden. He looks down at my dress for the thousandth time since I came downstairs and doesn’t even bother hiding his displeasure that it’s showing too much of my body. Even if it is about as tasteful as it gets. </span></div>

Then I made the mistake of turning around without my wrap on. That’s when he saw that the dress was completely backless to my bra line. Well, what it would be if I had been wearing one. Which is clearly when he lost his mind.</span></div>

My makeup is still done and my hair is still flowing in long waves. And I’m no less mad at the men in my life than I was earlier. I’ve considered climbing out my window. I’ve considered asking my best friends, Lyn and Lila, to come help me escape. But what would be the point? Rambo-Dad already scared away my date, the only boy left in school who had been willing to ask me even though his friends had warned him about my father.</span></div>

Maybe I should go away for college. I planned on living at home while I attended Georgia Tech, but there is no way I can deal with this stuff any longer. If my father had things his way, I would be shipped off to become a nun. Or he would buy an island and make it an all-girls cult.</span></div>

On the way back up, my eyes hit the corsage spinning around his finger before I look back up into those gorgeous eyes. </span></div>

He gives my hand a squeeze before letting go. Placing his strong hands on my shoulders, he presses down until I’m seated on my bed.

<span id="reviewTextContainer1157213319"><span id="freeTextreview1157213319">I
am in LOVE with this story. We first met Cohen in Harper Sloan's Corps
Security series and I was thrilled when he got to have his own book. He
isn't the sweet little boy anymore, this time hes all grown up. This
book for me, really kicked it up a notch. I already loved Harper's
writing style and her stories always blew me away and this one was no
different. I feel that this is one of her best books yet.<br /></span></span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span id="reviewTextContainer1157213319"><span id="freeTextreview1157213319"><em>
<strong>“It was unexpected, baby, but it was fate. It’s our unexpected fate."</strong>
</em></span></span><br /><span id="reviewTextContainer1157213319"><span id="freeTextreview1157213319"></span></span></blockquote>
<span id="reviewTextContainer1157213319"><span id="freeTextreview1157213319"><br />Dani Reid has been in love with Cohen for as long as she
can remember. He's the guy she wants but feels she will never have.
She's never acted on it and has kept her feelings a secret for so long.
Cohen on the other hand has wanted Dani too. But his lifestyle and
relationship between their families has kept him keeping his distance.
His job means an unpredictable lifestyle and leaves him taking a step
back, and the 4 year age gap between them just gives him further reasons
to stay away. But this isn't what he or Dani wants. Can either of them
take that step to give them a chance?<br /><br />This story is such a
heartwarming read. Although the romance is the centre of the story, it
also brings in so much more. This is a story of friendship, love and the
bond of family. It packs one hell of a punch and leaves you wanting
more. The chemistry between the two is so apparent, and the situations
and emotions that are shown allow us to see that this friends to lovers
story is so much more.<br /></span></span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span id="reviewTextContainer1157213319"><span id="freeTextreview1157213319"><strong>
<em>"This isn't goodbye," he vows. "Never goodb-b-bye," I stutter.
"It's 'see you soon'," he whispers. "Every time I close my eyes," I
promise.</em>
</strong></span></span><br /><span id="reviewTextContainer1157213319"><span id="freeTextreview1157213319"></span></span></blockquote>
<span id="reviewTextContainer1157213319"><span id="freeTextreview1157213319"><br />These two were perfect together and once they reached
that final peak, it was so nice to see how the relationship changed.
Harper Sloan is great at giving us a romantic story, but then giving it
some serious heat to move it to the extra level. These two really
brought some heat together. It was intense and I think that Cohen can
give any of the Corps guys a run for their money with the alphaness and
dirty talk. Cohen and Dani complimented each other beautifully and this
connection was easily seen throughout the book. <br /></span></span><br />
<blockquote>
<span id="reviewTextContainer1157213319"><span id="freeTextreview1157213319"><strong>
<em>“Even though I don’t think I’m good enough for her, I’ll spend my
life making she that she knows she’s the best thing I will ever have.” </em>
</strong></span></span><br /><span id="reviewTextContainer1157213319"><span id="freeTextreview1157213319"></span></span></blockquote>
<span id="reviewTextContainer1157213319"><span id="freeTextreview1157213319"><br />This truly is a brilliant read and I especially enjoyed
getting to see the previous characters, such as Axel. This is his baby
girl. He isn't going to stop being protective of her and only wants the
best. Poor Cohen has a lot to live up to and face to be with Dani! <br /><br />There
are some unexpected plot twists that will have you on the edge of your
seat and begging for more. The title of the book is very apt, as neither
expected to have or love each other like they do, but fate steps in and
alters your future. A sweet, emotional read that lovers of the Corps
Security series will love and even if you haven't read the previous
books, this will make you wonder what you have missed. Harper Sloan has
done an amazing job, and this is my favourite book of hers to date.
Cannot wait for the next one!</span></span><br />

He brings my change back and I leave it on the bar. I’ll just have to get it out for my next few drinks again anyway. I start to sip on my cocktail as Danny’s face flashes through my mind. I wince, sigh and close my eyes tight to try to rid myself of the image. The music in here is nice, soothing, gentle, soft music, not too loud, and nothing like the stupid music they play in bars these days. That’s why I like it here. It’s a place to come and unwind from the stressors of life. And people tend to leave you alone as they’re all too busy drowning in their own sorrows. I lean my head up against the bar on my forearms and just breathe. It’s getting late and I should probably head home, but I’ll have one more drink before I catch a cab. <br />“Looks like you’ve had a rough day,” a man says making me look up.<br />He is ruggedly handsome, wearing dark jeans, a black shirt, and a leather jacket. He looks a lot like a bad boy and maybe that’s what I need right now. I cock my head to the side and raise an eyebrow as I look at him. His face is half in the shadows so I can’t see his eyes. <br />“More like a rough five years,” I reply and he nods his head and half-laughs. <br />“Well, in that case, can I buy you another drink?” he asks leaning in a little closer to me. I can smell his aftershave, and it instantly makes me want him closer. It’s strange, I work with men all day and smell their aftershave, but never has it had this effect on me. I look up at him and he leans in closer out of the shadows and I look into his eyes. Mine open wide as I gaze at the beauty of them. I shake my head slightly while I stare into his gorgeous mesmerizing eyes focusing on the differing colours. <br />“See something you like?” he asks cockily with a smirk. <br />I huff, cross my legs and fold my
arms over my chest. <br />“Someone has tickets on himself. No, I was looking at your eyes. I’ve never seen anything like them before, it’s fascinating. Are they contact lenses?” I ask as he pulls up a stool beside me and chuckles. <br />“The ladies always love my eyes. No, it’s not contacts, just something I’ve had since birth, it’s rare but not impossible. One green eye and one blue isn’t really that weird now is it?” he asks with a smile that lights up the dimly lit room. <br />I shift in my seat. He really is ridiculously good looking. It’s unnerving. <br />“Dunno, to me it kind of makes you a bit of a freak,” I reply and he smiles and nods. <br />“Yeah, I guess it does, but we all have a little freak in us somewhere?” he states and I raise my eyebrows at him. <br />“Ain’t that the truth,” I declare and take a sip of my Cosmo.</span><br />

<div class="body-text">
<span class="body"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />KE Osborn really knows how to get your emotions going, ripping out your heart and wondering how the characters life can turn around.. and that's just the prologue. When were first introduced to Violet, she has experienced something no one should ever have to. In one night, everything she knows and loves is gone. Her life shattered. How can she move on when she has lost so much? </span></span></div>

<div class="body-text">
<span class="body"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />It is five years later, out in a bar drowning her sorrows that she meets Rock. He's handsome, kind yet has a touch of bad boy charisma, Violet can't help but be drawn to him. There's something different about him that has her wondering if she can let any one else in. After what she's been through in the last five years, she doesn't deserve happiness in her eyes. How could this man want her if he knew the truth of how low she got?<br /><br />These two really hit it off, and with a bit of persistence, Rock aims to break down Violets walls. He wants to know the woman underneath. But what is she hiding? Why won't she answer his questions? Rock was a great character and I really couldn't fault him. I loved how he knew what he wanted and was willing to work for him and Violet. He needs to help her overcome her fears and embrace the love he knows that they could have. But just how far do some wounds run deep? Are some things better left unsaid? <br /><br />For me, this is one of KE Osborns best books to date. She gets the emotions and tragedy of this book just right, so that you feel everything and really connect with the characters. You suspect you knows whats going on or what will happen, and when everything comes to light, you're left wondering how on earth they're going to get past this new obstacle. It was so nice to watch how both characters grew throughout the book. Each twist leaves you anxious for more and left me eagerly awaiting the next book.<br /><br />A heartbreaking story about loss and heartache, but the willingness to embrace your fears and move on towards a new future. A truly brilliant read and cannot wait to see how Rock and Violets story continues. Can Rock see past the secrets that Violet holds? Or will it destroy them both? I <i>NEED</i> the next one! </span></span></div>

Having worked in the optical industry for some time, K E Osborn decided it was time to leave the optical world behind and start on something new. With a background in graphic design and a flair for all things creative, she tried her hand at writing. <br />K E Osborn hid the fact that she was writing from her family, as she believed her first story was simply something she had to get on paper first and then judge if it was good enough for others to read. It wasn’t until her mother found a printed version of the manuscript that her secret came out. She was a writer, and she loved it. Writing gives her life purpose.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: small;">Kasey Millstead has a real knack of capturing the reader and have them backing the characters throughout the whole book. She brings a book to life with the emotion, angst, heartbreak and situations that faces them. I have loved every book that she has written and this is when where a struggle from a character is turned into something so heartwarming and it is great to read.<br /><br />We first met Zeke and Sienna in the last book, but only got a brief glimpse into their lives. Sienna has had a tragic past and is trying to move on with her life, the last thing on her mind is love or finding a man. Until Zeke storms into her life. He's the one thing she knows she shouldn't have, yet she is drawn to him like nothing else. She is scared of getting hurt again so keeps pushing him away. But he's not ready to give up yet. Could he be the one she has been waiting for? <br /><br />I loved Zeke, he is relentless in his pursuit for Sienna. He knows what he wants and he isn't going to give in. He's a great male lead. Tatted up, a gentleman, sweet, yet just has that little touch of badness that you cant help but love. He was Sienna's rock and really brought her out of her shell, The transformation from both individuals is not excessive but easily seen and apparent throughout the book. <br /><br />This is another great read from Kasey Millstead and is not without its angst and shock moments. Trouble is always around the corner. Will Sienna and Zeke make it through their past and have their happily every after? <br /><br />I also loved Ava and Jeremy's novella at the end. It was so sweet to read and great to re immerse yourself in their lives. Both are struggling with getting their final piece of happily ever and are ready to give up. Can they get that final little piece to make it perfect? </span><br /><b>*****</b></span></div>

first problem was with how much of my legs was showing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then I made the mistake of turning around

child. He’s been my everything for the last twenty-two years. I’ve loved him
through every girlfriend he’s ever brought home. Through his college years and
then mine. I’ve loved him through two deployments. And ever since the day I
told him how I felt, he’s acted like I’m a stranger. </span></div>

her hometown of Peachtree City. She (and her 3 daughters) enjoy ruling the
house they dubbed 'Estrogen Ocean', much to her husband’s chagrin. Harper has a
borderline unhealthy obsession with books; you can almost ALWAYS find her with
her eReader attached. She enjoys bad reality TV and cheesy romantic flicks. Her
favorite kind of hero--the super alpha kind!</span></div>

house went to sleep at night; and with a house full of crazy it was the perfect
way to just relax. It didn't take long before a head full of very demanding
alphas would stop at nothing to have their story told.</span></div>

<b>TWISTED SOULS</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
What if your soul is so intertwined with someone else's that it's impossible to imagine yourself without them?
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Blake McIntyre and Liane Kelly’s families have spent their vacations together on Sanibel Island their entire lives, and the two have always been the best of friends. But as they get ready to go to coll<br />
<a name='more'></a>ege, they admit that friendship isn’t enough for them anymore and spend a whirlwind two weeks daring to dream of their future together.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
But building sandcastles and lazy beach walks filled with moonlight kisses isn't the same as real life, and soon they are faced with a new reality. Can their hope of forever survive past their summer, or does fate have its own twisted plan?

<b>TWISTED PATHS</b></div>
<div>
***NOT A STANDALONE. THIS IS MEANT TO BE READ AFTER BOOK #1, TWISTED SOULS***
</div>
Life is a series of choices, and every one we make sends us down a different path…
It is easy to look back at your life and see the mistakes you’ve made and wonder how it all could’ve been different. But when the path you thought would last forever comes to an end and you have to choose a new one, do you follow the route that looks the straightest and easiest? Or do you follow your heart and choose the one that might have more twists and turns but could lead you to the happiest tomorrows?

MAX<br />
<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 <br />
<a name='more'></a>protect me.<br />
<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 />
<br />
JASPER<br />
<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 />
<br />
*erotic paranormal romance. Standalone full-length novel. Come meet the Scars.<br />

<br />
“How long since you fucked a guy?”<br />
<br />
“What?” Her arms moved as if she was about to cross them over her breasts and then decided against it and put them back at her sides. “What does that have to do with anything?”<br />
<br />
“Because when I fuck you, it will be hard. I need to know if you can take it.” I’d expected her to grab her shirt and put it back on. That was what I had intended. To scare her. Instead, she stared at me as she undid her bra and let it fall to the floor.<br />
<br />
Fuck.<br />
<br />
I was a guy. A guy that didn’t give a shit if a woman hated me in the morning, but they never did. I may be a selfish bastard but I never left a woman unsatisfied. And it was more a self-serving reason as I could always get seconds when I wanted. But this was different. Everything about it was different. Max was different.<br />
<br />
And that should’ve scared me enough to walk away.<br />
<br />
But Max … staring at her milky white naked skin … her handful of breasts with nipples erect and waiting for my mouth to be sucking on them. I should’ve walked back into the bathroom, shut the door and jerked myself off in the shower.<br />
<br />
I didn’t.</div>

<b>The ultimate pleasure lies in sweet surrender . . .</b><br />
Brash. Brilliant. Devastatingly handsome. Billionaire playboy Rafe
Contini can have any woman he wants-no strings, no commitments, no
promises. But when American graduate student Nicole P</div>
<a name='more'></a>arrish crashes his
private party in Monte Carlo, he wants more than a
casual one-night stand. He wants to possess this beautiful
stranger-body, mind, and soul.<br />
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Nicole isn't interested in being possessed by any man-especially one as
powerful as Rafe. But with a seductive smile and enigmatic charm, he
lures her into his private world of erotic discovery and pushes her to
the brink of ecstasy. In the summer days-and
nights-that follow, they explore every forbidden fantasy, every willful
desire, every wild, dizzying sensation. And come dangerously close to
crossing the line-between love and lust, pleasure and pain, power and
possession…</div>

<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<b>Excerpt</b></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“Where are you staying?” </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“At my uncle’s apartment.” </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“Come
to my place.” He folded his hands on the table, leaned forward a
little, his gaze focused, her appeal powerful as a riptide, ignoring the
fact that what he was about to say was messing with his head. “I’ll
kick out everyone else.” </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“Everyone else? Meaning?” She didn’t lack confidence, and he was notorious for his casual sexual encounters. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
For
some reason he didn’t mind her impertinence. “Only male friends. I
never allow women to stay with me.” He smiled. “Until now. So how about
it?” </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“Sure, I’d like that.” And suddenly the summer takes an
interesting turn. So far the boys of summer had been only mildly
interesting. “But not for long.” She wrinkled her nose. “I have to go
back to school in a couple of weeks.” </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Rafe suddenly went still;
her little nose twitch reminded him of a child. “Just for the record,”
he murmured, “how old are you?” People graduated college at any age; he
had at nineteen. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“Worried?” Nicole flashed him a grin. “How much does it matter?” </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
He scowled. “It matters.” </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“Or?” </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“Or you’re gone.” </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“Now neither of us wants that,” she said, amusement in the blue of her eyes. “Do we?” </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
He didn’t move a muscle, even his breathing quieted. “Don’t,” he said, very softly. “No games.” </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Nicole’s voice was lush with provocation. “Really? I’ve heard you like games.” </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“You
heard wrong.” He held her gaze for a moment, then sighed. “Tell me your
age or get the fuck out.” Hand of fate or not, he didn’t do stupid. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“Twenty-two.” Her brows rose in perfect arcs. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“So,
are we seeing blue skies and rainbows once again?” Honeyed sarcasm
dripped from each word. “Or do I find someone else at this party to
entertain me?” </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Rafe’s smile slowly unfurled and his eyes took on a
predatory glow. “You could try, I suppose. But you wouldn’t get out the
door.” </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“Oh dear, oh my, I do declare,” she lamented in playful parody. “Am I your captive?” </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“You
are.” Smoothly rising from his chair, he strode toward the door. “Now
I’m going to lock the door, then fuck you till morning.” </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“And then what?” </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Whoa. The unmistakable note of demand in her voice brought him to a stop. He turned. “I’m sorry, did you say something?” </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
She met his insolent gaze and smiled. “I said—and then what?… As in afterward.” </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Audacious or foolhardy? Fascinating certainly. He winked. “Afterward, you can tell me your name. How’s that?” </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
She winked back. “I’ll think about it.” </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
He went very still. “Is this a contest?” </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“I hope not,” she murmured, gazing at him from under her long, dark lashes. “I hope I get what I want.” </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“Which is?” </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“Do you need a list?” </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“Do
you know what you’re doing?” Unsure whether it was anger or lust
igniting his senses, his voice took on a raspy edge and his golden gaze
turned cold. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“I can’t answer that definitively, but right now it
looks like your dick knows what it’s doing,” she noted, with a languid
lift of her hand. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
He looked at her for a moment. A woman had
never taunted him before and he wanted to pick her up and shove his dick
so far up her pussy he’d need a road map to get out. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“Don’t,” she said, very, very softly. “This could be really good… mind-blowing in fact. You have to know that.” </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“Fuck you,” he whispered, shifting his stance enough to ease the pressure on his erection. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“Anytime… Just not that way, okay?” </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
He dragged in a ragged breath. “Don’t tell me what to do.” </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
She held his gaze, unflinching. “Nor you me.” </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
A
smile slowly overcame his discontent as he held her contentious stare.
“Why don’t we see?” he said very gently. “You might like it after all.”
Then he reached back, turned the key in the lock, slid it into his
pocket, and moved toward her.”<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Everyone
knows Brooke Wicks loves to have a good time. She’s not interested in getting
serious, settling down, or limiting herself to one man. So when she meets the
sexy, irresistible Mason King, she sees another opportunity to let loose and go
wild. But the gorgeous Aussie isn’t interested in just a quick fling with
Brooke, and if she wants to get into his bed, she’s going to have to do it on
his terms.</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Loving fast
and hard has always been Mason’s philosophy. He doesn’t want a meaningless
connection, he wants it</span></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> all, and he wants it with Brooke. When she makes her
one desire known—to hit it and quit it—Mason wages a plan to ensure Brooke
keeps coming back for more. Or so he hopes.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Getting her
attention was the easy part. Keeping it might be damn near impossible.</span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div>
Lara Bailey isn't in Rocky Springs for the hot springs, the resort
activities or the fabulous skiing. She has come to Colorado for one
reason and one reason only: to find and get close to Marcus Colter, the
eldest Colter brother. Unfortunately, trouble finds her in the form of
Tate Colter rather than Marcus. The youngest Colter brother is arrogant,
cocky, smart, and tenacious in his attempts to find out <i>why</i> she
wants to find Marcus even though she's never met him. Lara isn't willing
to divulge that information, and Tate is determined to uncover her
motives. It makes Tate one hot, wickedly sexy, adorably dimpled, alpha
male pain in her backside.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Lara is <i>really</i> confused when Tate helps her out of a difficult and potentially dangerous situation. It leaves Lara wondering if he really<i> is</i> the cocky, arrogant jerk that he pretends to be, or if there isn't much more to Tate Colter than she'd initially thought. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Tate
Colter wants Lara Bailey in his bed...badly. When she completely blows
him off and ignores him when they meet, he's even more determined to
find out her secrets and get her to submit to the molten desire that
radiates between the two of them. The fact that she's one tough female, a
woma<br />
<a name='more'></a>n who can give back exactly what he dishes out, makes her even more
intriguing to him. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Sparks fly as Tate and
Lara become involved in a battle of wits and wills that will ignite
flames of passion and desire like neither one of them have ever
experienced. But when deception is discovered and a betrayal takes
place, can these two adversaries who are so much alike work together
without letting the white-hot passion burning between them incinerate
them both? </div>

<span style="font-size: small;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">Jason Sutherland is a billionaire investor who has it all: good looks,
billions of dollars, and every expensive toy a man could ever want. What
he doesn’t have is the one thing he wants the most: Hope Sinclair.
Unfortunately Hope, the little sister of his best friend, was off
limits. But when he finds out that she’s getting married, he decides
that he’s staking his claim before it’s too late, and it will take more
than a little deception and risk to accomplish his goal. Hope could end
up hating his guts, but after spending one forbidden night with her that
he can’t forget, he knows he has to try to make her his forever.
<br />
<br />Hope Sinclair was born into money, but being rich has never made her
happy. The one thing she wants is a man to care about her and not her
bank account. The closest thing she’s ever found to real happiness was
the magical, passionate night she’d spent in the arms of Jason
Sutherland…until that night turned into heartbreak. So when he
unexpectedly comes back into her life in the strangest of ways, Hope is
determined to resist her attraction to him.
<br />
<br />Thrown together by Jason’s deception and with their passion still
burning hot, can the two of them survive after the billionaire is
unmasked?
<br />
<br />18+ only. Not suitable for children and teens under 18.</span></span><br />

A few interesting facts about Author J.S. Scott </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Author J.S.Scott trained and worked for years as a Registered Respiratory Therapist before becoming an Author.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She
self published in April 2012 with no experience at all. “I put together
my own bad covers and edited the stories myself. (Big
mistake!) I used KDP Select when I first started and offered up the
stories for free, alternating the freebies. To my surprise… I actually
started selling some books.” Then she really hit it when she started
working on a serial romance trilogy that readers started to follow
enthusiastically — <i><a class="yiv4867246509" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BMHUDP2/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00BMHUDP2&linkCode=as2&tag=efactory" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Billionaire’s Obsession</a>,</i> which
she eventually packaged into a “complete set” last February, selling
the lot for one very low price. “I was lucky enough to have the book
sell very well… well enough to hit the USA Today and NYT Bestsellers.
Since then, I’ve written complete novels that have also done well.”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All
the books that she writes almost always feature an Alpha Male and have a
happily ever after because she just can't seem to write them any other
way! </div>

mystery in a romance novel, and this is something that JC Reed has done
perfectly. After following Jett and Brooke's story from the very
beginning, I am eager to see them get their happy ending, but the
journey there is just so exciting! I was on the edge of my seat, just
waiting for the next piece of the puzzle to be revealed or even what
else could obstruct Brooke and Jett once more. <br /><br />This book didn't
disappoint and continues this series beautifully. We are able to connect
even more so with the characters and truly see their thoughts and
actions, especially to one another. When these two come together, you
know that there is going to be sparks and action and its so bloody good!
As much as I love romance novels, I can't help but adore the ones that
add hints of suspense and mystery within the pages. I mean, who doesn't
love a good guessing game? <br /></span></span></span></span></span><br />

answers and I found myself with her every step of the way. Sometimes the
answer isn't always the one you want. The more I read this series, the
more I fall in love with each story and I don't want it to end. As we
delve deeper into the story, look closer into who's behind everything, I
just can't wait to see how it plays out and to finally get the answers
that I am dying for!<br /><br />Brooke and Jett are two brilliant characters
that I feel JC Reed has set up beautifully. You become engrossed in
their lives and are fascinated by the goings on around them. Sometimes
you will find yourself wanting to scream at Brooke, yet others you cheer
her on. Yet with Jett, you love his mystery but also want to see the
man behind the secrets. Just what is he hiding? Who is the real
mastermind behind everything? <br /><br />I am <em>dying</em> for the next
instalment of this series. I need to know the answers! You cannot go
wrong with this story and series as a whole, as they are truly brilliant
and keep me engrossed through their entirety. If you love suspense and
mystery mixed in with your romance then this is a definite choice. I
can't wait to see where the next book leads! </span></span> </span></span></span><br />

It’s cold and she’s pale white. So I just sit and stare, at nothing – waiting. Waiting for what exactly, I don’t know. It’s not like she’s suddenly going to wake up. I stare at her beautiful face, so lifeless and still. I don’t know why I let go of her hand. I was holding her so tight even with all those people around. I should have held on – I should have fought harder. I failed, and now all I have before me is a motionless body of the woman I love beyond anything I’ve ever loved in my entire life. If I could be in her place, I would gladly swap. <br />They say the moment before you die your life flashes before your eyes. I wonder if anything like that happened to Lia? I wonder if she felt nothing but bliss before she flat-lined? I hope so, and I hope that wherever her soul is right now that she’s happy and not looking down on the mess that I am without her.<br /><br /><b style="color: red; font-size: 16px;">TEASERS</b><br /><br /><a href="http://s1168.photobucket.com/user/francesscawebster/media/Teaser4_zpsca83eb0a.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo Teaser4_zpsca83eb0a.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1168.photobucket.com/albums/r492/francesscawebster/Teaser4_zpsca83eb0a.jpg" width="550" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s1168.photobucket.com/user/francesscawebster/media/Teaser2_zpse4ae150b.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo Teaser2_zpse4ae150b.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1168.photobucket.com/albums/r492/francesscawebster/Teaser2_zpse4ae150b.jpg" width="550" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s1168.photobucket.com/user/francesscawebster/media/Teaser3_zps5cf31ea1.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo Teaser3_zps5cf31ea1.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1168.photobucket.com/albums/r492/francesscawebster/Teaser3_zps5cf31ea1.jpg" width="550" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s1168.photobucket.com/user/francesscawebster/media/Teaser1_zps19b6e8d5.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo Teaser1_zps19b6e8d5.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1168.photobucket.com/albums/r492/francesscawebster/Teaser1_zps19b6e8d5.jpg" width="550" /></a><br /><br /><b style="color: red; font-size: 16px;">PURCHASE LINKS</b><br /><br /><a href="http://amzn.to/1tNnF1L" style="text-decoration: underline;">Amazon USA</a><br /><a href="http://amzn.to/1GTuWaD" style="text-decoration: underline;">Amazon UK</a> <br /><br /><b style="color: red; font-size: 16px;">RELEASE PARTY LINK!</b><br /><br /><a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/273917869398959/?fref=ts" style="text-decoration: underline;">RELEASE PARTY ON FACEBOOK!</a><br /><br /><br /><b style="color: red; font-size: 16px;">PURCHASE LINKS – Off Your Rocker?

Having worked in the optical industry for some time, K E Osborn decided it was time to leave the optical world behind and start on something new. With a background in graphic design and a flair for all things creative, she tried her hand at writing. <br />K E Osborn hid the fact that she was writing from her family, as she believed her first story was simply something she had to get on paper first and then judge if it was good enough for others to read. It wasn’t until her mother found a printed version of the manuscript that her secret came out. She was a writer, and she loved it. Writing gives her life purpose. It makes her feel, laugh, cry, and get completely enveloped with the characters and their story lines. She feels at home when writing.<br /><br /><b style="color: red; font-size: 16px;">Stalker Links</b><br /><br /><a href="https://www.facebook.com/KEOsborn" style="text-decoration: underline;">Facebook</a><br /><a href="https://twitter.com/KEOsbornAuthor" style="text-decoration: underline;">Twitter</a><br /><br /><a href="http://s1168.photobucket.com/user/francesscawebster/media/10344778_10152568495975926_2917491641903324633_n_zps06222a7a.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo 10344778_10152568495975926_2917491641903324633_n_zps06222a7a.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1168.photobucket.com/albums/r492/francesscawebster/10344778_10152568495975926_2917491641903324633_n_zps06222a7a.jpg" width="200" /></a><br /><br /><b style="color: red; font-size: 16px;">Other Books Available </b><br /><br /><b style="color: red; font-size: 16px;">The Trust Me?

RECOMMENDED FOR AGES 18 AND OVER DUE TO GRAPHIC VIOLENCE, STRONG LANGUAGE, AND SEXUAL SITUATIONS.
To the moon and back…
From the stars to the ocean…
That was Marley and Cameron Bowen’s secret code.
Twins born just five minutes apart, they have the perfect life… Until tragedy strikes just weeks after their eighth birthday and their father is killed by a drunk driver. Having trouble coping with the loss of her soul mate, their mother tries to find comfort in drugs and alcohol… And an abusive man with a <br />
<a name='more'></a>penchant for underage girls.
No longer able to stand listening to his sister’s screams and cries every night for nearly three years, Cam takes matters into his own hands and they’re finally able to escape the nightmare.
They’re finally able to start over…
But the nightmare still haunts Marley. The years go on and she is forced to put on a smile, making everyone think that she is the perfect, well-adjusted teenager that she is supposed to be… Until she is faced with a painful reminder of her past during her senior year of high school and she’s no longer able to keep on the mask that she has been compelled to wear.

<span style="font-family: Arial;">T.K. Leigh, otherwise known as Tracy Leigh Kellam, is the <i>USA Today</i> Best Selling author of the Beautiful Mess series. 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). She always had a knack for writing, but mostly in the legal field. It wasn’t until recently that she decided to try her hand at creative writing and is now addicted to creating different characters and new and unique story lines in the Contemporary Romantic Suspense genre.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;">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.</span></div>

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">They say there's a fine line between love and hate.<br /><br />There is.<br /><br />I married a douchebag.<br /><br />I didn't know it at the time.<br /><br />He came in like a handsome stranger and blew me off my feet.<br /><br />I fell madly in love, like the naive girl I am.<br /><br />Then he left me high and dry.</span></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /><br />Turns out, I was nothing more than a business plan for billionaire playboy, Marcus Tandem.<br /><br />He needed to be married in order to obtain his grandfathers business, and I was the poor victim in his path.<br /><br />I believed in what we had, until the truth reared its ugly head.<br /><br />I never meant anything to Marcus. Not a damned thing.<br /><br />With my world spinning on its axis, the girl I once was has long since died.<br /><br />Instead he left me as this empty, emotionless shell.<br /><br />I
may have made a vow before God to love and cherish him ‘Til Death do we
part, but it’s time for me to give back to Marcus, exactly what he gave
me.<br /><br />He has to pay.<br /><br />And pay he will.</span></span><br />

man, was this book intense! After that explosive ending and cliffhanger
from the first I couldn't wait for its conclusion. After her life is
ripped apart, just how far will Katia go to get revenge? Can a betrayal
so bad really be forgiven?<br /></span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span id="reviewTextContainer1133108106"><span id="freeTextreview1133108106"><br />Bella Jewel has seriously outdone herself with this book.
It had me hooked from the very first page and I needed to read it the
very moment that I had it. From the first book I didn't really like
Marcus, he was a man that you loved to hate and I wondered if this book
could change my views on him, and I wasn't disappointed. Fairly quickly
in the book I started to really like him and root for him and Katia. It
was actually Katia's actions in this book that had me gobsmacked and
thinking that maybe she had slightly lost the plot... <br /><br />This book
is told in a dual POV and although it's mostly Katia's, the glimpses of
Marcus's thoughts and his side of the story had me loving him just a
little bit more every time. It is a very intense and emotional book, and
Bella truly captures Katia's emotions and attitude towards Marcus
brilliantly (even though some of those actions were just a tad extreme
maybe) and I loved seeing the inner fight with herself and the one she
had with Marcus. How can she move on when everything is still so raw,
but he brings out all the familiar feelings in her?<br /></span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span id="reviewTextContainer1133108106"><span id="freeTextreview1133108106"><br />This is a relationship that has been pushed to the most
extreme and this is the follow-up. Can they make it after all? There
were times when I thought that Bella was going to go a completely
different route with the ending and I actually thought 'No, she won't!
.. Will she?' I loved the constant guessing with the book, as I love a
story that keeps me on my toes and I can never tell where it's going to
go next. It was one hell of a journey but I loved the ride and
especially loved the ending. I was surprised at it, but the way it was
set out proved a better ending overall for Katia and Marcus. <br /><br />There
are a lot of new names and interesting characters introduced in this
book and I'd love to see which of them are going to get their own
story.. Jahred? (hint hint) He needs a book! <br /></span></span></div>

<span id="reviewTextContainer1133108106"><span id="freeTextreview1133108106"><br />Katia and Marcus are such strong characters and I loved
reading the conclusion to their story. The brokenness of this book, and
their relationship is what I think appealed to me most. It isn't plain
sailing for them, there are a lot of aspects and revelations that need
to air and sort themselves out before they can move on. I loved the
shock factor and intensity of this book and I feel that Bella has
outdone herself once again. I will always grab her books no matter what
they are about and know that was is in-store for me will be brilliant.
Cannot wait to see what's next on her agenda! </span></span></div>

Having worked in the optical industry for some time, K E Osborn decided it was time to leave the optical world behind and start on something new. With a background in graphic design and a flair for all things creative, she tried her hand at writing. <br />K E Osborn hid the fact that she was writing from her family, as she believed her first story was simply something she had to get on paper first and then judge if it was good enough for others to read. It wasn’t until her mother found a printed version of the manuscript that her secret came out. She was a writer, and she loved it. Writing gives her life purpose. It makes her feel, laugh, cry, and get completely enveloped with the characters and their story lines. She feels at home when writing.<br /><br /><b style="color: red; font-size: 16px;">Stalker Links</b><br /><br /><a href="https://www.facebook.com/KEOsborn" style="text-decoration: underline;">Facebook</a><br /><a href="https://twitter.com/KEOsbornAuthor" style="text-decoration: underline;">Twitter</a><br /><br /><a href="http://s1168.photobucket.com/user/francesscawebster/media/10344778_10152568495975926_2917491641903324633_n_zps06222a7a.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo 10344778_10152568495975926_2917491641903324633_n_zps06222a7a.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1168.photobucket.com/albums/r492/francesscawebster/10344778_10152568495975926_2917491641903324633_n_zps06222a7a.jpg" width="200" /></a><br /><br /><b style="color: red; font-size: 16px;">Other Books Available </b><br /><br /><b style="color: red; font-size: 16px;">The Trust Me?

<em>
<strong>“Revenge is a dish best served cold. That’s the way I am serving it – cold, empty, broken, and completely fucked up.”</strong>
</em></blockquote>
<br />Bella Jewel continues to prove why she is one of my
favourite and go-to authors. Her books always deliver and have me
anticipating every page. This was a book I couldn’t wait to read after
finishing <em>Enslaved by the Ocean</em> and I found myself drawn in
from the very start and loving every minute of it. This is a story of
vengeance, finding love in unexpected places and eventually forgiveness.
This book is full of drama, plot twists and will have you on the edge
of your seat the entire way through. <br /><br />We were first introduced to
Dimitri, Hendrix’s stepson in the ending of the previous book, I mean,
what a cliff-hanger that was! He wants revenge on Hendrix, who abandoned
his mother and him when they needed him the most. Dimitri had a very
rough start in life and blames Hendrix for this occurring. He wants
vengeance and wants to hit Hendrix where it hurts, so he steals
something dear to him in order to bring him to the open. Jess. <br /><br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">
<em>
<strong>Revenge is all I’ve breathed for the past ten years. Now she’s
making me question my sanity. She’s making me question everything I am.</strong>
</em></blockquote>
<br />Jess too, has suffered in life and when she was at her
lowest, Hendrix was the one who saved her and offered her a new life and
a fresh start. He is like the father she never had and due to this past
are very close. She finds herself kidnapped and facing an entirely new
kind of danger. What exactly is Dimitri’s game plan and just how far
will he go to get his revenge?<br /><br />As the two spend more and more
time together, they begin to see each other in a new light. When they
collide with one another they realise that they aren’t that different.
Though their pasts aren’t the same, the scars they bare have impacted
their lives dramatically. As they begin to examine into their pasts,
they become closer and the lines between captor and captive get
increasingly more blurred. <br /><br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">
<em>
<strong>“Fuck, Jess, what do you want from me? I stole you. At what point did I go from being the enemy to fucking Prince Charming?”</strong>
</em></blockquote>
<br />When past and present collide, Jess needs the two most
important men in her lives to overcome their issues and work together to
save her. Can issues that run so deep really be forgiven? Or will Jess
succumb to the threats of the past? This book is sooo good at delivering
drama and angst but bringing in love and forgiveness in two broken
characters. These two explode together and Dimitri is one brilliant man
to read about, and Jess has so many sides to her that you are drawn to
both of them and cannot wait for them to realise what’s in front of
them. <br /><br />This is another truly brilliant read from Bella and I love
the fact that this story is about Pirates! I love stories that are
different and capture your heart, and this book definitely does that. It
is intense, meaningful and focuses on some very real issues that could
impact anyone. It is both heart-breaking and heart-warming, and still is
an unforgettable book. I love this series and cannot wait to see where
she will take us next. <br /><br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">
<em>
<strong>"You're my everything and you changed my world, Jessie. That's
enough of a reason to kiss you every day, for the rest of your life."</strong>

<br />
Neala Clarke is a woman of her word, when she gives you it, expect her to deliver. Neala gave her niece Charli her word that she would get her a doll for Christmas. Never mind that there is only one week until Christmas and everywhere that stocked toys is practically sold out. Neala gave her word that she would get that doll for Charli, so she will move mountains to make it happen.
Darcy Hart is a people pleaser, when he is asked last minute for a doll by his adorable six year old nephew Dustin, he of course, says yes. However, Darcy faces a dilemma, the particular doll he needs is sold out everywhere. Darcy makes one last attempt to get the doll at a local toy store, and finds out they have only one left in stock, but he also finds out he is not the only person interested in claiming the doll.
Neala and Darcy go way back, playing in each other’s play pens kind of way back. They are not friends, more like mortal enemies, and both of them wanting a single doll was the start of a series of events that no one could have predicted, not even Father Christmas himself.

I snarled, "Give me the doll. Now!"
Darcy had the box against his chest with both hands on it. His fingers tapped against the box while a smug smile stretched across his face.
He glanced to the snowmen gathered around my feet and teased, "You've got to watch your step, sweetheart."
I blew out a frustrated breath. "I swear if you don't give me that bloody doll I'll-"
"You'll what?" Darcy cut me off, his smug smile still in place on his handsome face.
Damn him.
"I'll shove me foot so far up your arse you'll need a surgeon to remove it."
Darcy's eyes widened. "You're a foot shorter than me, and at least fifty pounds lighter. You're a tiny little thing, Neala Girl. I'm not scared of you. You can't hurt me."
<i>Wrong.</i>
He was <i>so</i> wrong.
"I <i>can </i>hurt you, and I <i>will</i> unless you give me the doll."
Darcy raised an eyebrow and snorted. "How about... no."
Bastard!
I curled my lip into a sadistic grin. "Okay, you asked for it."
Darcy shook his head at me and moved forward so he could brush by me. "I don't have time for- What the hell?"
When Darcy was close enough to do so I manoeuvred my body behind his, hooked my arms around his chest and searched for his nipples with my hands. When I found them, I grabbed them between my index fingers and thumbs and pinched.
"Me nipples, let go of me nipples!" Darcy cried.
I growled and tweaked his nipples a little harder. "Let go of the doll, and I'll let go of your nipples."
Wow.
There's a sentence I never thought I'd hear myself say.
