Synopsis

There's a darkness at Waversea College, and I finally know who it is. Right?

Scared. Confused. Alone. That’s how I find myself once again, except this time it’s completely my fault. I couldn’t be happy with the glimpses of light I saw in Rhys, or the sweet, stolen moments with Clayton. I wanted more and in return, I lost it all. I don’t know where my boys are, or why I can’t stop thinking of them as mine, but it seems that’s the least of my problems now.

With the revelation of someone I thought I knew, comes the knowledge of what I’m really fighting against. There’s a larger scheme waiting to be unearthed and a greater evil who needs taking down. With so much at stake, I don't know what the future looks like anymore but one thing is for certain. To face this new threat, I need Rhys and Clay by my side. What happens after that is anyone's guess.

This is a M/F/M ménage story which is a part of the contemporary dark bully college romance genre. Trigger warning: dark love-hate themes, sexual scenes and bullying. Not suitable for under 18's.

Vegas Kings, Book 1

Contemporary Romance

Release Date: May 1, 2021

Publisher: Wisteria Lane Press

JACK

Rejection. That’s what I get for trying to save a girl who obviously doesn’t want saving.

Paying off her father’s debt so she can stop taking off her clothes for other people? That was a no brainer. Obviously, I hoped she’d fall victim to my irresistible charm. My selflessness.

But no.

I’ve offended her independent spirit, and instead of falling for me, she’s doing everything she can to avoid me. I should forget all about Ellie Masters, but I’m a sucker for her sassy smile and that fiery, luscious mouth.

I’m more than willing to take a gamble on this girl, but she’s made it clear I’m going to need more than luck to win her heart.

ELLIE

My momma raised me to believe that I don’t need a man. Except, apparently, I do.

And now that I owe a debt to a billionaire, I feel sick to my stomach.

It’s not like I’ll ever be able to pay him back.

The man is richer than God, and hotter than the Devil. When he’s next to me, I just about melt.

The last thing I want is to fall for a man like that.

The problem is, I think I already have…

Under a Blanket of Blue

by Caroline Smith

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Welcome to Willow Creek Ranch. Owner and proprietor Katherine Ryan has everything she wants in life-almost. The single mom of two works hard to provide for her children on their Wyoming ranch. She values coffee, books, and her children above all others (not necessarily in that order). Her passion for healing, though, has led her down the path of rehabilitating racehorses and developing a therapeutic riding program for kids. The persistent thorn in her side, however, is that for the last five years her ex-husband, Ethan, has still worked and lived on the property with her.

With a sister who's a famous Hollywood actress and a business deal that pulls her down to LA, she's talked into a party where she runs into a man she's known for most of her life, but has been relegated to a memory. Fate has some strange cards to play after Katherine returns to Wyoming and life on the ranch.

Raven Woman's Tavern Tour and Giveaway!

Raven Woman's Tavern

by Laura Koerber

Genre: Dystopian, Magical Realism

A backwoods bar run by a shapeshifter.

A-serif">

Set in a dystopic near future, Raven Woman’s Tavern is the story of a collection of survivalists who are squatting in the remains of a dead timber town in the Northwest. The residents—most of them old, sick, and in need—help each other by means legal and extralegal under the watchful eye of Rachel, the tavern keeper. When the peace of the community is disturbed by the sudden visit of four members of the local militia, the survivalists are frightened; not all of them are law-abiding and some are not citizens.

But, as Crazy Mary said to Charlie the Poet, “You don't piss Rachel off. She's got her ways.”

Goodreads * Amazon

Laura started off life as an artist. Even in early elementary school she could draw with near-photo realism. She liked to tell herself stories while driving, or doing boring tasks such as housework, but never thought of herself as a writer.

That is, until she got involved in the rescue of an abused dog. Her first book, a collection of short stories entitled The Dog Thief, made the Kirkus Review list of one hundred best indy publications and set her on a course of writing.

With one exception, her subsequent novels are in the genre of fantasy, though four have themes relating to current events, and three are also dystopias. Wild Hare, the story of a half/man-half/nature spirit and his feud with the local civic powers also made the Kirkus Review “best of” list.

The exception, I Once Was Lost But Now Am Found, is the nonfiction account of the largest dog rescue in the US to succeed without help of local authorities.

Laura is a retired teacher and lives on an island in Puget Sound with her husband; her one-eyed cat; and her elderly, disabled and chronically grumpy shih tzu. She is volunteers at a rescue for unadoptable cats.

Two Kinds of Us by Sarah Sutton #Cover Reveal

Two Kinds of Us
Sarah Sutton
Publication date: May 25th 2021
Genres: Contemporary, Romance, Young Adult

In a life of diamond bracelets and country clubs, I’m the perfect daughter. I get all the right grades, volunteer at all the right organizations, apply to all the right colleges.

And I hate every second of it. At the rate my life is playing out, under the strict rule of my parents, politicians and housewives will be my future.

Until I meet Harry.

Harry’s a singer in a rock band with a voice so drop-dead sexy that I actually feel hypnotized. Doesn’t hurt that he’s hot either, and with the kind, flirty personality to match, it’s the perfect trifecta. And even better, he sees me as the me I want to be. The me who can break free of the life I’m trapped in, the me who can control my own future.

The only problem? He knows me as Stella, my fun, carefree alter-ego—so drastically different than Destelle, the one who is trapped in the life my parents rule for me.

But as we get closer, I realize Harry’s keeping a secret of his own, something related to his dark past that he’s trying to move on from, and when I find out, everything we’ve built could come crashing down.

The Heavy Side #Blitz

Techno-thriller

Date Published: 11-16-2019

Silicon Valley Tech meets The Cocaine Trade.

Can you program yourself into a winner?

In the San Francisco Bay Area, tech innovation is King, and money is God.

Vik Singh watched his immigrant parents work their fingers to the bone chasing the American Dream. But standing at his father's funeral, he realizes one thing - hustling will get you nowhere. All you need to get rich is one big idea.

And when he meets Los, a small-time drug lord with visions of grandeur, Vik makes a plan worthy of Jobs and Zuckerberg:

Design a drug sale app.

After all, market disruption is everything.

From his comfortable cottage in Lake Tahoe, Vik writes the code that builds a cocaine empire. When his app attracts an infamous drug cartel leader, it seems like a natural expansion move. And for a while, life is Swiss bank accounts, luxe coke parties, and falling in love with Remi, a beautiful and ballsy woman with secrets of her own.

Then he discovers he is being watched.

The DEA is closing in, the cartel is getting suspicious, and he can trust no one. As things heat up, Vik discovers the real price of easy money.

And that price could be his life.

If you're a fan of Breaking Bad, Mr. Robot, and Dark Mirror, this is the book for you. Get your copy right now!

The Introvert's Guide to Online Dating is LIVE!!!!! Woohoo!

The Introvert’s Guide to Online Dating by Emma Hart is LIVEEEEEEE!!!!

Online dating: the act in which you try to avoid the catfishes and D pics. And try not to get caught hooking up with your best friend’s brother.

With all my best friends off the market, it’s time that I, Tori Sussex, join them.

So where better to find my future husband than the internet? It’s great. I can get all the awkward stuff out the way and already know if I’m going to like the guy before we meet in person.

It’s a shame nothing is ever that simple.

My relationship with Colton Lane is the very definition of complicated—dirty little no-strings-attached hook-ups we’ve somehow managed to keep secret from all our friends for the past six months. We’re bound to get caught, and if I’m serious about dating, I only have one choice.

Call it quits. End our little covert booty calls for good. Tell him that this garage is closed.

It should be easy. It should be cut and dry.

And I’m sure it would be… If only I wasn’t in love with him.

MY REVIEW: 5 out of 5. I'm a fan of this author.

I really enjoyed Tori and Coltons story. They have a love/hate relationship with benefits. Both say they don’t like each but it’s easy to hook up than admit the truth.

This can be read a standalone however it features chapters from the how too guides.

This was fun, sexy and loveable.

ARC in exchange for honest review however I collect Emma Hart's paperbacks.

Exploitation With the Diavolo

Cruisin' Around Series

by Aleisha Maree

Genre: Dark Romance

Domenico Rossi

She was a ghost. One moment she was there the next she was gone.

A bit like smoke when you ran your fingers through it. Unable to grasp it, all you could do was watch it sit heavy in the air then fade away.

She played games with my mind, twisted my emotions, then she would disappear. Causing my body to crave her like an addict. Her body was sinful. Created straight from the fires of hell and just as hot. Her lips deceive you with every word. Her kiss was deadly and consuming all rational. Her heart was stone cold and locked with a key nowhere in sight, but it didn’t stop me from searching for it.

Aviva D’Angelo

He was beautiful. Something so unique and rare that I wanted to break it. Playing with him was a perk afforded to me from the pure hatred and long list of hits that I needed to prove to my father that a woman can live in a man’s world doing a man’s job and be just as strong. A daughter can be just as great as his prodigy of a son. Useful, resourceful, and strong. Yet in his eyes no matter what I did I was the reason he no longer had a son, an heir to the throne of the D’Angelo mafia underworld. So, with that being said this is why I play the deadly game of cat and mouse with all men of the mafia. Walking within the illusion of disillusion to unravel all the senses of the boss of bosses and bring down the house of Rossi.

Aleisha Maree knew she was going to write... well, since forever.

As soon as she could read she wanted to be that escape for others. Words pulled her in and held her tight in a world that captivated your soul and took you on a journey.

She crafts sensual, sexy, tantalizing stories that weave together her love for darkness, pure passion and most of all human emotions which dance on the cusp of your soul.

She's from the south island of New Zealand born and raised in a tiny but extraordinary village called Wakefield which holds so much more than her heart.

She now lives in the North Island of New Zealand in another village called Wharepapa South with her husband and 6 kids on a dairy farm.

When she's not consumed by those beautiful humans, she's knee deep in writing, working on another work of art to captivate your soul and mind. To take you to the edge and back again.

She's a dark soul and introvert who loves nature and water, is insanely in love with coffee and reading.

She can always be found with her family with a book in her handbag and the wind in her hair.

Just keep an eye out for all the loud crazy kids and she will be like right there!
