Synopsis

All the Pretty Lies

“Live, no regrets”

Her…

Sloane Locke has led a sheltered life.  However, with a history like hers, she can understand why her brothers and her father want so much to protect her.  She has gone along with it for twenty long years, but those days are over.  For the girl who never makes promises, Sloane has made a pact with herself that things will change on her twenty-first birthday.  So when the clock strikes midnight, Sloane strikes out to spread her wings and break a few rules.

Him…

In addition to inking skin, Hemi Spencer possesses many talents. Controlling himself has never been one of them.  It’s never had to be.  He’s lived a life of indulgence for as long as he can remember.  Right up until tragedy struck.  Now, he’s nothing but controlled. He’s a man on a mission, one who will let nothing and no one stand in his way. 

Them…

Nothing in their lives could’ve prepared Sloane and Hemi for what they’d find in each other—distraction and obsession, love and possession.  But the one thing they can’t find is a future.  Neither one has been totally honest.  And they’ll soon learn that the devil is in the details.  In the details and in the lies.

How far will two people go to live in the now when the now is all they’ve got?

Book Blitz Scarred Love By MS Brannon

Scarred Love by M.S. Brannon
(Sulfur Heights #1)
Publication date: June 6th 2013
Genres: Contemporary, New Adult, Romance

Synopsis:

“I am certain, without any doubt, she was meant to be in my life. We belong to each other. I spent too much of my time consumed with what everyone else thinks of my feelings for Darcie, but the truth is, it was always supposed to be this way.” ~Reggie Evans
Darcie Claiborne spent several years of her young life living with a monster, always fearing what he would do next. Clasping onto her last ounce of hope, Darcie releases a scream. It’s her final attempt to live; to survive the villain of her reality. Sweeping her up in his arms, Darcie’s knight in shining armor rescues her from the hell she’s been living; from the stepfather she’s feared for all those years.

Reggie Evans has been forced to grow up before he’s ready when his mother dies of an overdose, leaving him responsible to raise his younger brothers. One fateful night, Reggie jogs by an old, run down house and discovers a young girl clinging to life as she screams for help.

Three years later, Darcie is healing and always protected by the man who saved her, but now she’s fighting with something she isn’t prepared to face. The growing love for the man who saved her life three years ago, the same man who’s nine years older. All the while, Reggie fights to protect Darcie from the demons of her past and new ones of her present.

**Mature Content Warning** 17+ for language and sexual content**

Excerpt

Darcie ~ Age 12

“Darcie, your stepfather does these things because you refuse to listen to anything I tell you,” my mom says while swallowing a handful of pills with her glass of red wine. “Just stay out of his way, be in your room when he’s home and it will give him less of a reason to punish you.”

I’ve been putting up with Robert’s punishments for eight years and I’ve come to the conclusion that I will never escape them until I leave. My mom takes pills and drinks from her bottle of wine several times a day. When she’s not drinking or downing pills, she’s sleeping.

I despise my mother. She’s weak and I fucking hate her.

She tells me I deserve punishments and she’s probably right, but what she’s neglected to tell me is why she allows him to do it. I barely remember what our life was like before Robert Stein, but I know it was never this horrible. We managed to have fun and I never lived in fear. Why did she let Robert change her? Isn’t a mother supposed to protect their child? Once a child is born, isn’t their mother expected to possess this sixth sense, that same kind of sense that can allow women to lift cars off their children? My thoughts fade as soon as she squeezes the ointment on her finger and rubs it onto the fresh cigar burns on my back and thighs. Robert never gave me a reason why he did it other than he couldn’t find his ashtray.

My Review

Ok, this one is darker than I would normally read, not my normal type of read. I enjoyed it there was lots going on, plenty of action. Struggles between good vs evil. A priest whose gone dark, and has become the Devil and is constantly trying to get to Abby. Someone who you would least except it to be is no more-my lips are sealed. Basil struggles with his guilt over Pam. As well as Abby and Basil trying to have a somewhat normal life-whatever has become normal for these two.

You guys know I don't do spoilers, this is no different. Just a little bit of information would ruin this story so if you like darker reads, good vs evil then this is the book for you.

I give this 4/5 stars.

Reading and writing have been lifelong passions. It was around the time she gave birth to her forever-love, nicknamed Chipmunk, that she really took writing seriously. After all, how could she teach her child to follow her dreams if she hadn't tried herself?

As a YA fantasy/sci-fi reader and author, she favors the magical, mysterious, the darker side of life...even harbors a secret fright for things that go bump in the night.

A Shade Of Vampire book 5 - A Blaze Of Sun By Bella Forrest

Synopsis

"Of course you know who I am. I'm a daughter of the darkness just as surely as you are his son…"

Ever since his brief encounter with Emilia at The Shade, Derek's thoughts and dreams have been haunted with images of the mysterious, beautiful brunette. Plagued with guilt, he struggles to understand why he is so drawn to this dark stranger from his past.

When Emilia suddenly appears again on the island, Derek is both terrified and intrigued. But this time, he is determined to involve Sofia and discover who this woman is.

If only Derek and Sofia knew, Emilia is a mystery that should be left undiscovered…

My Review

The eagerly awaited A Shade of Vampire Book 5 is here, titled A Blaze Of Sun. I was thrilled to be asked to review an Arc copy of the book, yes I felt like I was holding gold dust.

We all know how amazingly stunning these books are and this one is no different. So just to clarify guys, I don't do spoilers and this book is THAT AMAZING I am having to  sticky tape my mouth so I don't give it away, because you really, really, really need to READ this book.

Ok, so what can I tell you............. Derek and Sofia are as much in love as they always are and talking of getting married. Aiden is still held in the cells. Sofia is in charge of the catacombs, trying to organise the humans into helping protect the shade against the upcoming war. In the beginning Sofia and Derek don't spend a lot of time together, there's always something to keep busy with. There are forces working to separate Sofia and Derek - will they succeed? Then war breaks out - the shade is in danger...............

Ok guys I know, but I CANT tell you anymore than that I don't want to spoil it for you. Like the others A Blaze Of Sun had me on the edge of my seat I couldn't put it down, I think at one stage I maybe could of growled, for getting disturbed. The look alone could of turned someone into stone.

The danger with a series of books is that after the first or second your attention will start to fade or the series could of been wrapped up at 3, Bella Forrest is Super talented, this book is just as amazing as A Shade of Vampire.

**This Is your Warning - once you have the book in your possession, you need to come up with an excuse to lock your self away, take supplies with you- wine/coffee/snacks. Be prepared to lose a few hours. And most importantly a huge DO-NOT DISTURB sign. Don't say you were not warned**

Bella this book is Fantastic, it pulls you under its spell and never lets go, I thank you for a stunning, compelling book.

This book gets 5/5 stars and 5/5 for movie moments.

I guess my life as a writer started when I was five; I'd sit under the kitchen table with my box of multi-colored wax crayons (I miss those) and create picture books. Creative writing was always my favorite subject and I used any free time I had to sit down with a notepad.

Not much has changed, except that now I have developed vampirish habits: my writing "day" typically starts at 1am.

I'm an avid reader, a big fan of cookie ice cream and I'm often travelling. When working I have to disconnect the internet for fear of being endlessly distracted by websites such as www.icanhas.cheezburger.com.
