after what seems like 10 cups of coffee and procrasination on my part
Well I am finally sitting down to write my blog. After 10 cups of coffee and a nap. Well it is Monday and I feel like I have had a truck run over me. I guess that what happens when you have insomnia and its the weekend. So what does an insomniac do but well you guessed it . We read and listen to music on our I pods, How many of you have done that . Oh you all know who you are . We read all night long . I read a really good book this weekend. TRINITY A BETHERN NOVEL by Deena Remiel.
BOOK BLURB
One way or another, terror will reign tonight.
School teacher and single mom, Emma Livingston, has been through hell—and back so she thinks. While dealing with the night terrors and active imagination of her five-year old daughter, Hannah, she attempts to lead a normal life. That is, until the demon from those nightmares pays her a visit, too, and threatens both of their lives. Desperate, she reaches out for help—and finds Michael waiting.
Michael D’Angelo is known to everyone in Prophet’s Point, Arizona, as their loving elementary school principal. But to The Brethren, he is the most powerful Protector. Immortal and angelic does not mean he’s without doubts or fears, as protecting Emma and Hannah from Evil tests his ability to fight his tortured past.
As the Trinity is formed, ancient secrets are revealed and faith is tested. When a prophecy is exposed, Hannah becomes the main target and Emma wonders if a normal life will ever be possible again. Hope is like an anchor, but can a mother, her daughter, and an angel overcome the evil determined to annihilate the world?

MY REVIEW
This is a story of good versus evil. Angels against demons. But also it is a love story . Hannah is a sweet young five year old that is being plagued by night terrors as her mom Emma struggles to keep it all together. And help her daughter through these night terrors. But they don't know that there is more to these night terrors . Enter principal Micheal D'angelo, There is more to Micheal then just being a principal. He is also an angel here to protect Hannah and her mother. As they are very special and are just two in a long line of ancient power. As Satan wants Hannah and her power the Bethern will fight to keep them safe. Micheal and Emma will find love through the ordeal. Will they survive the fight to the death , will good triumph over evil.
I saw this book on the author's facebook page and decided that this might be the book that helps me get over all my dark characters , that are running around in my head . Boy I was right, there is mystery and drama .Ancient warriors, Angels and demons. Oh by the way the angels are really hot and manly in the leathers they wear. Yes I love a man in a good pair of leather pants. But I do digress . Ummm where was I oh yeah.
Deena weaves a tale that will have you turning pages long into the night. You just want to pick Hannah up and wrap her in cotton , until you realize that she is one tough cookie. Every mother knows what it is like when your child is terrorized by nightmares. You feel like Emma was , on your last tank of gas and running on fumes. This book is a rollercoaster of emotions and you will not be disappointed. I will tell you it is a long book but you will be so engaged you wont mind.
The pictures Deena paints are unbelievable , you will laugh , cry and cheer for the players in this book. You also might tear up a bit towards the end of the book. So if you want a book that has it all romance, angels, mystery and a good fight check out TRINITY , you shouldn't be disappointed. I know I wasn't

ok this is a fabulous way to start the weekend
ITS FRIDAY wooooooohoooooooo and there is a new book out . I love this woman , she is an awesome writer . Her books have me in stitches everytime I read them . Her new book is out today So without further adieu here we go . FASHIONABLY DEAD DOWN UNDER book 2 of the HOT DAMMED by Robyn Peterman . Is live
BOOK BLURB
Welcome to Hell.
Literally.
The Hell where the Prince of Darkness is hotter than Hades, Hell Hounds smell like brownies and the Seven Deadly Sins are addicted to Facebook…Not to mention the soundtrack in the Underworld is Journey. For real.
I should have known no good could come from offing my parents in the space of twenty minutes no matter how psychotic and evil they were…
Now I find out my family tree includes almost every deity and mythological being alive while Ethan, the one and only love of my undead life has a limited time down under before he turns to dust. In the land of Sin, you’d think I’d get some nookie time with my man, but no. Baby Demons, cousins and grandparents put the kibosh on that. Blue balls are the new normal. What the hell does a half-Vampyre Half-Demon have to do to catch a break?
Apparently find a freakin’ sword, calm Mother Nature’s unmedicated mood swings and make sure Mister Rogers keeps his sticky fingers to himself during weekly poker with the Devil.
And I have three days to do it.
By all that’s unholy, I thought Ethan’s Vampyre family was crazy…Trust me, they have nothing on the Demons

After reading all the dark book lately . I needed a change so I decided to read a sweet romance
Yes I said a sweet romance . So here is the review for ADAM'S AMBITION EMERALD SPRINGS
by Monica Tillery
BOOK BLURB
Life in the small town of Emerald Springs, Washington, is anything but slow and peaceful. An old feud between former business partners Whitman and Sanders keeps competition on a high burner, fueling resentment, renewing rivalries … and love. Now someone is trying to bring down Emerald Tea Farm, and it’s up to both families to protect their future while still wrangling over the past.
Oldest son Adam Whitman never planned to take his place at the helm of the family business, and he’s living the life he always wanted. When his father asks him to come home to consider his options, he reluctantly leaves his high-powered job in Los Angeles and heads to Emerald Springs, determined to help his father make the transition to retirement and quickly get back to his own life. What he didn’t count on was the pull of the one person he’d left behind to chase his dreams.
Getting over Adam was the hardest thing Zoe Miller ever had to do, and she’s in no hurry to do it again. She’s focused on her new life running Emerald Springs’s finest bakery, and she’s finally put the heartache of losing Adam behind her. When he rolls back into town, she knows it would be wiser to
keep her distance from her high school sweetheart, but some things are easier said than done. A
broken heart would be more devastating the second time around, but can she resist the lure of the man he’s become

MY REVIEW
This is the first book in the Emerald Springs series. This is Adam's and Zoe story. They were in love with each other from high school. But Adam had bigger ideas. He went off to L.A to start his career and left Zoe behind. As she waited for him but he never came back. When his dad calls him Adam coms home to help his father transition into retirement. He tries and hides from Zoe but his mind and his heart have other things in mind. As he sees Zoe for the first time at the warehouse on his fathers tea farm. The flames ignite and he starts to realize that maybe his life is here with her.
Zoe on the other hand has hardened her heart to the gorgeous Whitman boy . well now man. He not only hurt her once but twice. Promising to come back to her. He isn't going to get into her her heart this time or will he. She is part of the family having dinners with them and them treating her like a sister. Even though Adam was no longer in the picture. As they start to work their way back to each other. It is such a sweet way . You can't help but get the warm and fuzzies when they kiss for the first time again . Or when they finally end up in each others arms . You kind a want to cheer for them and say finally
There are so many sweet moments in this book between everyone. You feel the closeness of every member of the family. They love each other so much and it radiates through the pages. The way the story is told , it weaves a tale of betrayal of young lovers. The mystery of what is going on with the farm and love of coming together of two people that are destined to be together . The only thing that was wrong with this book . Is that it ended way too soon for me lol. I haven' read a good sweet romance in awhile so I devoured this book and so can't wait to read the prequel and then book two in the series. So if you like sweet romance books with a happy ending read this book you won't be disappointed .

Books to curl up with: review day today
review day today
Good weds all . Hope your week is going well. It is hump day. SO HAPPY HUMP DAY all
Today I am going to review an ARC I got from NETGALLEY. THE CURSE KEEPERS from Denise Grover Swank
BOOK BLURB
The wall between our world and that of vengeful spirits has protected humanity for more than 400 years. It’s about to come crashing down.
Ellie Lancaster has lived her whole life by the site of the mysterious Lost Colony of Roanoke, the North Carolina settlement that vanished without a trace around 1590. Only the descendants of the two men who banished the spirits of an enemy tribe from the material realm know what really happened to the colony. Ellie is one of those descendants—a Curse Keeper. Her father took pains to teach her what he knew of the curse and the responsibilities of its guardians. He taught her that if the two Curse Keepers ever meet, the curse will be lifted, the gate will open, and the raging Native American spirits will be unleashed to seek their revenge.
Despite her father’s seriousness, Ellie has always taken the legend for a harmless fairy tale. Until she meets the darkly handsome, but downright infuriating, Collin Dailey and realizes everything she was told is true. For when they meet, it’s like the air is sucked from the room. Collin’s presence is electrifying… and it’s not just attraction Ellie feels, but the inexorable pull toward her destiny. The prophecy is real, and now Ellie and Collin must battle supernatural forces and their loathing—and pa
ssion—for each other to set things right.
The Curse Keepers are all that stand between the world and its destruction.
MY REVIEW
This is a story unlike most stories I have read lately. It was a refreshing story that made me smile and laugh out right in a few spots. Ellie has lived her whole life in the same place hearing stories from her father about the curse keepers and the lost village of ROANOKE. She grew up thinking these stories were just fair tales . After her mothers death she ignores all the stories and forgets the ways . Until the day Collin Dailey walks into her life. He takes her breath away literally on their first meeting. As they realize what is happening. They go on an adventure to recover the artifacts that needs to be down before the dawn of the seventh day to close the gates to hell . Along the way they fall for each other but can they handle the betrayal that befalls them along the way .
I received this as an ARC from NETGALLEY. I started reading and couldn't put it down. The heat between Collin and Ellie is electrifying . The bad boy and the good girl knowing that they shouldn't be together . But are pulled together to save the world. The author weaves a tale mystery and native American lore all in the same book. The setting of the lost village of ROANOKE was a great add to the backstory . Wouldn't it just be great to find out exactly what happened to that village. I am also a sucker for a story that has folk lore in it. The history that is wrapped up in those folk lore stories .
Denise's characters are written with such a passion, you just want to love them. The way she mixes the lore with the characters . Weaves the past with the present. The not knowing if they are going to survive in the wake of what happens . All the characters are fun to read . You just know that something will eventually tear the characters apart.
I will tell you though the book does leave you on a big ole cliff , so I am going to get the second book cause I want to really know what happens to them. So if you don't like hanging off the cliff get both the books and have a night of reading . You will learn a bit of lore , get wrapped up in some mystery, and watch them fall in love. So check it out , I hope you won't be disappointed in this fun read

GOOD MONDAY MORNING , EVERYONE
Good Monday everyone. hope you all had a wonderful weekend full of reading and more reading.
I finished up a very dark book called HER MASTER'S COURTESEAN. by Lily White.
BOOK BLURB
I am a Master.
You must know this fact to understand my story.
I capture women.
I break them down.
And I rebuild them.
If they are lucky, they are sold into the professional hands of another Master. If they are less fortunate, they are buried beneath the ground, never to be thought of again.
I lust for the control, I demand absolute submission and my body yearns to warp the minds of those I train.
Power is the only thing I’ll ever need and I am addicted to the feeling of ultimate control.
I am wealthy, good-looking, educated and charming.
And I am - in no way - a good man.
I do not want love.
I do not want kindness.
She thought she could change me by giving me the two things I knew I never wanted.
She was wrong.
MY REVIEW
Ok first things first. I know this book was banned on Amazon because of the cover. This book is dark and I mean dark. If you are looking for a light fluffy love story . This isn't the book for you. It comes with a warning on the very first page. This a dare erotic book , it goes to places that other books in genre don't go.
Rebecca is a young woman who fits the profile of the ideal courtesan. She is kidnapped by a Master, Aiden. who is to train her into becoming the perfect pet. But Rebecca has other things in mind. She is a fighter but as Aiden breaks her she comes to realize that she likes the pain and pleasure that Aiden ,Master. can deliver. She slowly weaves her way into his heart as he trains her. As she work her way through what has happened in her past. If she wants to stay with her Master, they must train another to take her place. Her best friend . As we find out about Rebecca's past and the humiliation that she has gone through. We understand both of them a little better. They may have feeling for each other but I say again this isn't a romance story. Both of these characters are broken in their own ways. They are together but he will always be her master and she will always be his courtesan.
This is the first book I have read from Lily White. I actually found out about this author when her book was banned from Amazon. So of course being the curious person I am. I went and starting looking for the book . Wanting to see what all the hub bub was about. I am very glad I did. This book took me to the depths of hell and back up again. Lily writes the characters with such passion and desire. The tale is woven over utter submission of one person to another. I am going to admit this . I actually had to put the book down a couple of times and pick up a Archie comic . Just cause it was so intense I needed to decompress a bit before picking it back up. There is so many moments where you go OH MY GOD and WTH is he doing . You want to just shake the hell out of each of them . You also want to slap the best friend and old boyfriend when you find out what happened to Rebecca. Makes you rethink going away with someone.
The story is told from both points of view. So you really get to feel the emotions of the characters . Boy you really get to feel the emotions.
So I leave you with this warning . READ AT YOUR OWN RISK. The characters will get under your skin and the ending will leave you speechless. This Dark story will leave you reeling and wondering . The tears will fall and you will be reading well into the night . So puffy eyes and a book hangover will happen. But you will not be disappointed especially with the ending . Its not a happy ending but it is in away .

BOOK BLURB
A Man Looking for his Past
Ryan Martinez never passes up a challenge. Not as a cop and not in the bedroom. So when asked to help find a missing girl it’s business as usual, except this case is as far from usual as any detective can get—unless that detective is a sexy, half-blood Were. More than blood and honor hang in the balance as supernatural rivals look to him to resolve the mystery, but time and recent truths twist the facts of past and present in a conspiracy that runs deeper and closer to his heart than ever imagined.
A Woman Running from her Future
Commitment isn’t exactly Emily Leighton’s strong suit. Forced into fight or flight at an early age, running has been her survival tactic for half a decade—but living for the moment has taken its toll on the pretty Were, leaving her unprepared when a certain detective rocks her world to the very core. So what does she do? She runs. Only now their paths have crossed again in a place where they must rely on each other to survive. This time she has no choice but to face him and trust her heart.
Unexpected Partners.
She’s the one who got away, something he’s never been able to forgive or forget. He challenged her defenses ‘til she pushed him away, concealing her heart. Can the two get beyond their past and work together while battling a passion still seething beneath the surface? Or will their combined history lead them into a future neither expects?

MY REVIEW
This is Ryan's book. I have been waiting for this book for awhile. Ryan and Emily are a fiery couple. Ryan is a no nonsense police detective that will get the job done . Emily Leighton is the sister of the alpha Sean, She has ran away from a lot of things, even her feelings for Ryan. So when Ryan is enlisted to help finding a missing girl , he along with Sean ,Lily and Emily help out.

holy my head is about to explode from all the dark alpha men running around my brain
Wow this has been a week of dark , broken characters. I have been reading such dark books lately . It feels like all the alpha males are running around in my head wanting me to read their stories again and again.
There are so many great authors out there that I have found that are writing such heart wrenching characters. Characters that are broken and just wanting to be normal. These characters really get to me . I can't help but fall in love with those broken alpha men. Who only want to be loved but don't know how to love back.
The books that started me down that path way was PEPPER WINTERS. I will tell you right now I could have a girl crush on this woman. Why you ask. Well if you haven't read any of her books you really need to. The tales will suck you in. Tears of Tess sucked me in so hard I had to read more . Her stand alone book Destroyed almost did me in. I know she has two new books coming out The third book in Tess and Q's story, Twisted together, and indebted a new book with a new sexy alpha man.
The next author I so could go fan girl on is Pam Godwin, her books are also so dark and character driven. She also takes you to the depths of hell and back . Her newest book Deliver had me screaming at my kindle almost every second page. Her characters make you feel everything. They maybe long books but once you start reading them you will not put them down.
Now I know you are probably wondering why I am talking again about these authors. Well I find that they are the best at writing the hard dark characters. . You all will have your favorites, but these are two of mine.
There is a new author Lily White that I will be fangirling over as soon as I finish reading her book. Which was banned from amazon . She is also going to be up there with Pam and Pepper. the ladies like to make you do the ugly cry . I hope I didn't offend anyone these are my opinions and mine alone . I know everyone has their own ideas of what they enjoy .

BOOK SHOUT OUT HUMP DAY
Welcome to hump day everyone . We are doing a shout out today for TRIPP book 2 in the MY WAY series by HJ Bellus
SYNOPSIS
Book #1 CREE
Book #2 TRIPP (just released)
Book #3 MILES (to be released May 2014)**Mature Content Warning** Recommended for ages 17+ due to language and sexual content.
Lacey's Story...
Covering up pain is easy. It's keeping it tucked away that's hard. I've always needed the cover of tattoos to hide the nasty past that leached its way into me, tainting me beneath my skin.
Not the shiny, trendy tats, but the ugly broken kind, meant to keep the world at bay. If they weren't enough, then my piercings, foul mouth and crazy hair usually did the trick. Life had taught me to never follow the rules, because when you do, you get burned.
My life was perfectly imperfect until Tripp...
Our relationship is what most would describe as fuel meeting fire. We were both hell bent on burning each other to the ground. Tripp was sexy as hell, a charismatic beast, and soon became one of my best friends. We shared a love of ice cream and tattoos as we blazed our own path that could only lead to a beautiful train wreck.
The only question left is, will we set the countryside ablaze with our hot tempers and foul mouths? Or will we paint our own happy ending filled with all the gushy shit normal people crave?

so many books so little time it seems this month
Good Tuesday everyone , hope your week is going great. Mine has been going pretty good . Except I think my mind has finally exploded. Yes I admit it. I had a rogue book that was on my list to read . I couldn't remember where I got it from. I also review for three other blogs , and I couldn't remember where I got this book from. Well I went through all my reading lists on each blog . It wasn't listed on any of the sites. Then after about 3 hrs of hunting and pecking around . I realized that I got this book from NETGALLEY. For my blog review . Boy was I relieved cause I thought that I was loosing it . Or someone was sending me books that I didn't thank. I never thought that this would happen to me but alas it did. Hubby tells me to slow down and take a break from reading . I just looked at him and laughed . Ok you are telling me to stop reading , is like telling me to cut off my right hand , And hubby I know how much you love my right hand. So, don't tell me to stop reading. Then I get the stink eye look and he walks out of the room. So he will not be telling me anytime soon to stop reading . LOL

MY REVIEW
I found this book on a friend's facebook page under free books. I grabbed it just for an extra book to read. Glad I did. Poor Jasmine has been through the ringer. Her mother was a drunk and her step father abused her horribly ,after her mother died. She runs away and ends up in a night club / brothel , where the poor girl is horribly abused again . Where she is raped by a sadistic man and ends up back on the street as she runs away. Only to find some peace at a family who take her in. But that doesn't last either , with nowhere to go she finds Nate King , who offers her , his home , his heart , will she finally have happiness .
Lexie Ray really puts her characters through it . Poor Jasmine has been and seen it all . In her young life. You just want to hug her and hold her tight. She just is so young and to have what happens to her , you wish on no one. The abuse she gets at the hands of her step father will make you cry and outraged all at the same time. You can almost feel each slap and burn . The tears will fall . As you turn page after page. You so want to cheer her on to find her happiness and to find love. When she finally does. Your heart will pound a little faster because Nate is so sweet and so loving. You want them to be together for ever, But Nate does have his own secrets.
This is the first book in the runaway series , I can't wait to read the other girls stories . How they come from the abuse and hell to come out the other side. I put the boxed set on my tbr list and my wish list. That is how intrigued I was with this free book . It is still free if you want to check it out. If you are like me and love characters that are dark and broken , this is a good book for you, So give it a try .

Severed Angel (Severed MC #1) by K.T. Fisher & Ava Manello
Published By: KBK Publishing
Synopsis:
Eve could never have imagined that her trip to Australia,
where she is set to be maid of honor for her best friend's wedding, could turn
from exciting to deadly so quickly.
Her sheltered and boring vanilla life comes to a
screeching halt when she arrives in Australia and witnesses a shocking MC
murder which puts her life in extreme danger. The Carnal MC are a dangerous and
savage motorcycle gang who want Eve and will stop at nothing to seek their
revenge.
Just when it seems her nightmare fate is sealed, Eve is
rescued by the Severed MC and quickly falls for the club's Vice President Gabe
aka "Angel". This could be just the diversion she needs. With her new
protectors, Eve faces a whole new life she never could have imagined...
Gabe never wanted an old lady. One look at the beautiful
Eve cowering at the hands of the enemy changes all that. Starting a war with
the Carnal MC and having Eve in his bed is just the beginning.
When Gabe stakes his claim, he goes all in. War with
Carnal MC is just the price of making Eve his, and only his. But love invites
blood and tragedy in an MC's life.
Just when it's looking up for his MC and his new woman, a
savage attack blows the lid off everything. Revenge possessed and determined
can the hot tattooed biker save her from the danger that lies ahead?

Good Tuesday morning all. Hope everyone is having a great day so far. My day is going good
So lately I have been in a mood for dark characters and dark story lines. Why I don't know why, but those are the stories that really capture my attention. Maybe it is the little bit of darkness that everyone has inside them. We all know that we have it deep down inside. Well here is another book
ABDUCTED (WHEN A SOUL IS STOLEN, CAGED FURY IS RELEASED) by Queen Brown.
BOOK BLURB
Money is the root of all evil, and evil are the ones who will go to any lengths to obtain it.
A wicked twist of fate dealt Lacey a bad hand when the sixteen year old was abducted by the Phelps'.

While her family struggles with Lacey's disappearance and desperately tries to find her, Lacey is determined to not only adapt to her new circumstances, but to beat the Phelps' at their own sadistic game. Will she eventually get the courage she needs to find a way out or will she succumb to her new life style?
Abducted is an intense thriller that will have you gasping over every page at the explosive turn of events. Are you ready?

MY REVIEW
This book starts out with Lacey , a sixteen year old girl, making the worse decision of her life . While she is at a party , she sleeps with her sister's boyfriend and ends up running away from her sister and best friend. Who wanted to kill her. Well a chance encounter in an alley sends Lacey's life into hell. She is stripped of her identity by Phleps and his wife. Thrown into a life of murder and money. Her new life is full of abuse and death. Will she succumb to the new life or will she have the strength to find a way out of the hell she is in
This is the first book I have read by Queen Brown. Why did I wait so long. She has weaved a tale of such intensity. I couldn't put the book done. What poor Lacey went through made me cry . The abuse that she got from her captures was just wrong . Your heart breaks with every lash they give , you want to go and rush in and rescue Lacey. As Lacey starts her life as a thief she wonders how long she will survive.
This book is an intense thriller. You will be on the edge of your seat reading this book. You will be screaming and shouting at people in the book . You will be page turning way past your bed time , trust me I was . The way the book ended was definitely a cliff hanger . I can't wait to read book two in the series. Why do you ask well because I want to know what happened and will she ever get away from the evil . If you want to know the rest . You will have to read the book . But, I warn you if you read the book , you will be left with your jaw on the floor. and your head reeling from the whole WTF moments in this book.

There's a new guy in town...
"Patrick Knight, single, retired Guard-turned private investigator. I was a closer. A deal maker. I looked clients in the eye and told them I'd get their shit done. And I did..."
Patrick doesn't do "nice."
At least, not anymore.
After his fiancée cheats, he follows up with a one-night stand and a disastrous office hook-up. His business partner (Derek Alexander) sends him to the desert to get his head straight--and clean up the mess.
While there, Patrick meets Elaine, and blistering sparks fly, but she's not looking for any guy. Or a long-distance relationship.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Tia Louise is a former journalist, world-traveler, and collector of beautiful men (who inspire all of her stories... *wink*)--turned wife, mommy, and novelist.
She lives in the center of the U.S.A. with her lovely family and one grumpy cat. There, she dreams up stories she hopes are engaging, hot, and sexy, and that cause readers rethink common public locations
It's possible she has a slight truffle addiction.

THIS BOOK DIDN'T DISAPPOINT AT ALL
Ok I am so excited about this book I am just going to get right to it. DESTROYED BYE PEPPER WINTERS
BOOK BLURB
BOOK BLURB
She has a secret.
I’m complicated. Not broken or ruined or running from a past I can’t face. Just complicated.
I thought my life couldn’t get any more tangled in deceit and confusion. But I hadn’t met him. I hadn't realized how far I could fall or what I'd have do to get free.
He has a secret.
I’ve never pretended to be good or deserving. I chase who I want, do what I want, act how I want.
I didn’t have time to lust after a woman I had no right to lust after. I told myself to shut up and stay hidden. But then she tried to run. I’d tasted what she could offer me and damned if I would let her go.
Secrets destroy them.
**Pepper Winters is known for her Dark Erotica. This book is more a Grey Romance. It isn't fluffy, and still deals with darker subjects, but it isn't brutal.**
Destroyed is a complicated love story between a man with a terrible past and a woman who holds his cure. A man who finds redemption in love and a woman who loses her heart and reason for living.
Death brings life, and destruction brings new beginnings.

MY REVIEW
I was so excited yesterday when this book went live. I couldn't wait to read it. I started yesterday afternoon. Reluctantly put it down to go to sleep. But, fates had other things for me to do then sleep, After about four hours of sleep . You guessed it , up I got grabbed my kindle and settled back down to read. I just couldn't get Fox aka Roan and Hazel out of my mind. Their story is so complicated and so loving that it will break your heart.
Hazel is a very complicated woman. She has lived a very hard life, been to hell and back in her young life. The sunshine in her life is her friend Clue and her daughter, Until the night they
went to an illegal fight club. Where she met Fox aka Roan . Who knew she was different and maybe the cure for past and the secrets he is keeping and the pain he is hiding. Zel is the only woman that can entice Roan in a sexual manner. So he decides to buy her for the month. She must do as he says any time of the day or night. That is where both their lives change for the worse and the better. Will the past destroy them and will help bring them together , cause they so need each other .
Pepper takes you an endless roller coaster with this book. Roan an Hazel just might be my new couple. They worked so hard to have the happily ever after that they both deserve. There are a couple of scenes in the book that had me crying. Yes , I had that ugly cry thing going again. She seems to bring that emotion out in me . Had them in all three books that I have read . You know that is the sign of a great author if she can pull those kind of emotions out a reader. I don't know if anyone else has those cries . Maybe I get invested in the characters I little . lol.
This is a stand alone book so yes they do get their happy ever after but boy they sure have to work for it. I am glad that its a stand alone cause honestly I don't think I could of handled a cliff hanger.
Destroyed is one of my must reads for 2014. I honestly think that if you read this book you will come away with a sense of HOLY FUCK that was an awesome book. Pepper is the author that everyone needs to look into . So please take a moment and read this book cause trust me you will not be able to put it down. Grab a glass of wine, a soft blanket and a corner on your couch. Snuggle down and read , trust me you won't put it down.
FIVE STARS ISN'T ENOUGH FOR THIS BOOK

Well it is finally Friday and boy I can say I am happy this week is over. It has been one of those weeks . Where if you had the opportunity to stay in bed, pull the covers over your head. This was the week to do it for me . All I can say is thank goodness that I had my kindle , my blanket and my pjs. It was a week of just about forgotten blog tours and book files lost on the computer. Oh yeah then there is the whole blog disappearing for 20 mins . I have no idea what happened there, it just disappeared.
Oh yeah then there is the whole minus 68 C with the wind chill. So on top of everything else . I had frozen water troughs in the corral. Frozen pipes in the house. Every cabinet door in my kitchen was open. Fans blowing warm air onto the pipes. To chopping ice out of the troughs, dropping a chunk of ice on my foot. Swearing up a bluse streak. So baby I was glad to come into the house. slip into my warm flannel pjs. Make a big bowl of popcorn, snuggle down with a good book. Which I did

BOOK BLURB
"What do you call a book that makes you lock yourself up in the bathroom before the last two chapters just to pour out all the tears that's been welling up in your eyes?"
A New Adult Romance Novel by USA Today Bestselling Author Priscilla West
"There would be no happy ending for us. He was too damaged. I was too broken."
Two years ago, Lorrie's mother was murdered. But that wasn't the end of it. Reeling from the tragedy, Lorrie's father spiraled into alcohol, depression, and finally suicide.
The two most important people in Lorrie's life are both gone but she's still alive.
Trying to recover from the tragedy, Lorrie returns to campus, ready to pick up the pieces of her life. All Lorrie wants is to get back to "normal."
Then she meets Hunter. The man, the legend, "The Hammer."
Hunter is a cage fighter who takes on every fight like he's got nothing to lose. His life is a tangled mess of girls, booze, and fist fights. And while it may seem like he's got a devil-may-care attitude, he's fighting a private cage-match with a monster he can't defeat.
Lorrie knows that Hunter is exactly the type of guy she should stay away from, especially in her fragile state, but Hunter has other ideas.
As Hunter and Lorrie grow closer together, will they be able to overcome their pain and heal each other? Or will they both end up wrecked?

MY REVIEW
What can I say about this book. Lorrie and Hunter are two very broke people. Lorrie still trying to heal from her mother's death at the hands of her stepfather and the suicide of her father, Hunter is just as broke hiding something dark from Lorrie. not going to tell you cause I don't want to ruin the book for you. They try and stay friends but they both know that they are more to each other then friends. As they hang onto each other. Trying to save each other, But do they or do they just drag each other down . I was so surprised at the ending of this book . I actually had tears in my eyes . As I read about why Hunter is the way he is . It actually breaks your heart
I received this ARC from netgalley. I was very happy that I took the chance on this book. I started and finished in a day and a half. I just couldn't put this book down. I wanted to see how things were going turn out. Would Lorrie confide into Hunter more, Would Hunter finally tell us about what his dark secret was revealed. Lorrie and Hunter are such broken people , you just want to hug them and make sure that they were ok. The kittens are what brings them together more and more.
Priscilla weaves a tale that will take you on a rollercoaster ride. Lorrie the strong heroine , who has gone through hell in the media. Hunter the strong MMA fighter , who wants just to save Lorrie . She has them hiding things from each other, parts of themselves that are so broken. I did suffer a book hangover while reading this book. I even read through a migraine trying to attack me. That shows me that this book is a great read. Cause if a book can make me read through a budding migraine. Then it means the author has done her job. To captivate me and keep me invested in the plot and the characters. You want to care for these two characters. You will cry with them and you will yell at your kindle. Saying tell him dammit and tell her dammit. You also will kind a get a little crush on Hunter, he is such a hottie, with his muscles and tattoos . Can you just say yummy . But I digress .
I am now reading book two in the series , started it as soon as I was finished book one. Its jus as good as book one, So please take a chance on this book . You won't be disappointed . I know I wasn't disappointed and neither will you .
I give this book a 4 out 5 stars

MY REVIEW
The second book in the Walking Series. is from Brad's point of view. Lisa is so torn between Bobby the man she can't get enough of and the best friend that she walked away from . Brad has gone away to repair his heart from when Lisa walked away from him and into Bobby's arms. But he can't miss his best friend's birthday. So he comes back just in time to celebrate her birthday and watch Bobby leave her again. Lisa is very insecure. she knows she wants Brad but she also wants Bobby. So when Bobby leaves for another mission. Lisa leans on Brad. Who wants to be there for her but he doesn't know if he can handle another heart break . Will they survive and will Lisa figure out who she really wants to be with.
This book had me yelling at my kindle. I actually called Lisa selfish cause she is insecure about what she wants. First she want Bobby, well who wouldn't want Bobby. Then she is all over Brad , her best friend . You kinda just want to slap some sense into her. She needs to make a decision, I was screaming at my kindle. Now I only scream at my kindle. When I am invested in the characters. Lets just say I was invested in the characters , especially Brad. This poor man has been in love with Lisa since they were kids. Lisa just always thought of him as her best friend and confidant. He had his heart broken for so long by Lisa. He can't let her hurt him again , if he can help it. I had some strong feelings for Bobby . I thought he was very arrogant and cocky. He is the true alpha and has this pull on Lisa. He is constantly breaking Lisa's heart when he leaves her. When he leaves for the last time. She leans on Brad for comfort , support and love. But when Bobby was lost and presumed dead, I felt tears rolling down my cheeks.
Jill wove a tale of love and insecurities. The characters were all broken in some way. I really wanted Brad and Lisa together. Trust me I was spitting mad at Bobby. Leaving her yet again. But towards the end of the book my attitude of Bobby changed and changed big time. I understood why he left and what he does. We also know that Lisa will never totally love Brad .
You become so involved with the characters Jill has written. That is the sign of a great story writer.
Trust me when you pick up this book and the first book. You will be in for a roller coaster ride of epic proportions. You will want to slap Lisa , cheer for Brad and want to rip Bobby's clothes off. I will warn you there is a cliff hanger at the end of book two. I so can't wait for book three .I want to know what will happen to these characters. So if you want to check out the WALKING SERIES by JILL PRAND . You won't be disappointed .
