To Be Read : Night Shifts Black by Alyson Santos

Published March 22nd 2016

SYNOPSIS

His name is Luke. But nobody knows that. He was an iconic musician before he gave up music. But nobody knows that either. They also don’t know he’s twenty-seven, that he used to have an infectious laugh, and that he’s way too young to be widowed. They certainly don’t know the rest of his tragic story. All they know is that he comes into their café at the same time every morning and stares at the same chair at the same table. They know he’s strange. They know he interrupts their breakfast with a cold blast of air as he hovers in the doorway, mustering the courage to confront a piece of furniture. 

No one asks why. No one cares. He’s fine with that. He’s done with life. This isn’t even his story anymore. It’s actually Callie’s, the young writer who sat in his chair one day.

REVIEW

It was started with a simple, old chair.... 

One moment can change your life forever.

Luke is broken and troubled rockstar, he is being haunted by his past. Callie is a lonley young woman, with her beautiful verses. There is Casey, the drummer. 

The grief, the heartbreak, the healing, the falling in love, the humor - it was all of them. It was stunning, sad, sweet and funny at the same time. I loved it so much. 

An emotional story, about two people who have suffered enormous loss. They try to find a way to live again. No matter how hopeless you feel, you can get better. And find a special friend. And find love. 

I loved the characters, each of the was unique. 

A beautifully written book. A music for your heart and soul.

I highly recommend it! 

ABOUT THE AUTHOR 

I’m a writer, musician, and cat lover. I’m also an alternative music junkie. Seriously, totally addicted. 

I write what needs to come out, whether it’s pain, tears, or laughter. I write people and relationships, about the beauty and horror of what we do to ourselves and each other. I write Love. Vengeance. Compassion. Cruelty. Trust. Betrayal. Forgiveness. Darkness, and the incredible way humans destroy and heal each other.

I like to eradicate barriers, refusing to be confined by the laws of physics or limitations of reality. I will befriend a vast population of possibilities and introduce them in ways that might surprise you.

To Be Read : You Don't Own Me by Georgia Le Carre

Released 19th of March, 2016

AN EROTIC ROMANCE

(18+ due to mature themes and sexual content)

Blurb

Dahlia

The moment I looked into his cold, predatory eyes I knew he was a dangerous man.  There was nothing good about him, but I walked into the Russian don's world the way a lamb strays into the path of the wolf, completely defenseless.

He took hold of my body in the most possessive and and shocking way. He made me completely lose control.  I ran away and thought I'd NEVER be back. Then something unthinkable happened and he was the only one who could help. He gave me a choice - which was no choice at all.

I hate him for his coldness . I hate myself for what I'm feeling. 

Too bad, my body can't resist him...

Zane

She made me hard the moment our eyes locked. I had to have her, but I didn't realize that taking her would be like popping a powerful drug. One I crave over and over.

The heat between us is blazing. Like nothing I've experienced before, but I won't keep her. I can't. My world contains no happy endings - nothing but bad memories

She chose to accept my conditions. She chose to accept my price.

A toy for my pleasure...

Dahlia 'You Don't Own Me.'  

Zane 'In my world I own everything.'

EXCERPT

As soon as we are alone I lose my shit. This, as far as I am concerned, is the last straw. I’m out of here. I’ve had enough. I didn’t sign up for this bullshit. The deal was he doesn’t do anything I don’t like, or the deal is off. He just did something I detest. I absolutely will not allow him or any other man to talk to me like that. No matter how hungry my body is for him, I simply won’t allow such abuse. Maybe I’m not built to be someone’s sex toy. I’m too independent and free-spirited to be anybody else’s side kick. He can go find himself another pliable sex toy to bully.

‘You’re an arrogant bastard, Zane. How dare you speak to me like that in front of other people?’ I fume, striding towards the door.

He stands in my way magnificent and menacing. ‘I’ll speak to you how I like. I own you.’

I gasp. ‘Well, I’ve got news for you. You don’t own me.’

‘Yes, I fucking do,’ he snarls. His arm shoots out and he yanks me to him.

My new shoes lift off the ground and my body slams into his, knocking all the wind from my lungs. Stunned, I stare up into his furious face. There is a muscle ticking at the side of his jaw. His eyes are impenetrable as his head swoops down, and his lips crush mine in a hungry kiss.

His mouth is hot and wild.

Intoxicated, I open my mouth and emit a low moan. H is tongue forces its way in instantly. The kiss is my salvation and my torment. It is more than anything I could have imagined. It is magic; like that time I sat on a hill right in the middle of a summer storm and saw the lightning crash through the sky and felt it in my veins.

He draws my tongue into his mouth and sucks on it. I feel as I am floating on air. No matter what happens after this, I know I will carry the memory of this first kiss for the rest of my life. I will die with it still on my lips.

Like an addict my arms reach up and tangle helplessly around his strong neck.

I'm everything a mother prays her daughter will never come across. 
Manwhore, Mafia boss and ruthless killer. 
I've never met a woman who could hold my attention longer than it took to satisfy my c**k.

To Be Read - Roomhate by Penelope Ward

February 3rd 2016

SYNOPSIS

Sharing a summer house with a hot-as-hell roommate should be a dream come true, right? 

Not when it’s Justin…the only person I’d ever loved…who now hates me.

When my grandmother died and left me half of the house on Aquidneck Island, there was a catch: the other half would go to the boy she helped raise.

The same boy who turned into the teenager whose heart I broke years ago.

The same teenager who’s now a man with a hard body and a hardass personality to match.

I hadn’t seen him in years, and now we’re living together because neither one of us is willing to give up the house.

The worst part? He didn’t come alone.

I’d soon realize there’s a thin line between love and hate. I could see through that smug smile. Beneath it all…the boy is still there. So is our connection. 

The problem is…now that I can’t have Justin, I’ve never wanted him more.

Author's note – RoomHate is a full-length standalone novel. Due to strong language and sexual content, this book is not intended for readers under the age of 18.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR 
Writing has always been a passion for Leisa, and even though she originally intended to be an actress, it wasn’t long into her time at drama school that she began writing plays.

Those plays were bad. Very bad. Well, her friends thought they were good, but that’s because they were always cast in them and any opportunity to be on stage was met with an obnoxious amount of enthusiasm.

Since then, she’s honed her craft, and several of her plays have been produced and toured throughout Australia.
