Justice

The van is hot as hell. I’m watching the house across the street because I know he’s in there. The fucking dick!

I know for a fact he hasn’t left because I’ve been sitting here all fucking day. It’s finally dark, and any time now the little shit is going to leave the house. Then he’s mine.

Cowboy’s with me, but he’s been quiet the whole time. He’s still hurting over losing Cassie and I can’t blame him, it’s only been a few months. Satan may be dead, but it doesn’t stop the guilt we all feel that we weren’t quick enough to save her, nor smart enough to work out what was going on under our own roof.

I straighten up in my seat as I see the hallway light go out. I nudge Cowboy awake, motioning towards the house. It’s time.

I clench my fists as I watch Ted walk over to his car. The slimy piece of shit has been leading my sister on, no fucking way am I letting him off with that shit! My sister means everything to me. Ted is unlocking his car door, when my arm goes around his throat. My approach as always is silent. Deadly.

“What? Who? You can’t do this to me.” He starts to protest, struggling in my arms.

“Shut the fuck up. You’re going to walk over to that van, quiet as a mouse or I’ll start carving pieces of you off as we walk. Choice is yours.” I whisper the words harshly in his ear. As soon as he hears my voice he knows who I am. What I am. It’s enough to cause him to freeze in terror. Cowboy groans in disgust. I tense as I realize what Ted’s done. Shit! The bloody coward’s gone and wet himself. Not only is he a dick, he’s a fucking coward too.

“Please don’t kill me.” He whimpers. Yep. He’s a fucking pussy all right.

If I were him, I’d put up a fight. Stand my ground and be a man! Not whimper and beg. Men like him make me sick.

“I’m not going to kill you Ted.” I reassure him. Although it is really fucking tempting. “That would be far too quick and painless.” Ted whimpers some more so I tighten my hold around his neck. God I’d love to snap it! “I told you to be fucking quiet.” I command.

I practically have to drag Ted the few yards from his driveway to the van. Being careful not to let his piss stained trousers touch me. Cowboy’s ready and waiting for me, the sliding door open. He reaches into his back pocket, a move that causes Ted to start whimpering again. What a fucking wimp. What the fuck did my sister see in him? I’ll never understand it.

Cowboy withdraws some black cable ties from his pocket and uses them to secure Ted’s wrists behind him. He moves to his ankles, doing the same.

“For fuck’s sake Ted.” Cowboy complains. “You a little momma’s boy? You’ve gone and pissed yourself like one.” There’s disgust in Cowboy’s voice.

He pushes Ted face first into the back of the van. Ted is hampered by the ties but manages to crawl a little further in, allowing me to slide the door shut. Not that I’d care if I trapped anything anyway! Cowboy jumps in the passenger seat next to me and I start the van. Moving slowly at first with the headlights off, until I hit the end of the street. The less any busybody neighbors see around here the better.

I only drive for a few minutes before I hit the trail road I’m looking for. This abandoned shack is perfect for what I have planned for this evening. It’s far enough from the town that no one will hear Ted scream. And I intend to make him scream, a lot.

Cowboy and I came here earlier to set up. Everything we need is inside. Cowboy drags Ted from the rear of the van none too carefully. Because of the ties on his ankles he can’t walk. Thanks to wetting himself Cowboy refuses to throw him over his shoulder and carry him. Instead, he grabs him by the wrist ties and drags him along the rough dirt path. That must hurt, but to be fair, considering what I have planned for him, that’s nothing.

Ted’s eyes go wide when we enter the shack and he sees the chain hanging over the solid wooden beam. Cowboy quickly secures him to it as I lean against the wall, listening to Ted’s whimpering. It’s really getting on my fucking nerves. Cowboy moves out of the way as soon as he’s done and I grin. Ted’s hanging by his arms, his feet not quite able to touch the floor and take any of the weight.

I slowly walk up to him. When I’m standing so close that we’re practically nose to nose Ted’s breathing quickens. I’m taller than he is. It’s just something else in the long list of things I don’t like about him.

I see the look of absolute fear in his eyes and it gets me hard. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not fucking gay but hurting people that I hate, that deserve it, gets me worked up and Ted really deserves it for what he has done to my sister! My reputation precedes me. Ted may think he knows what’s coming tonight. Trust me, he hasn’t a clue. What he imagines and what I have planned are poles apart.

“You’re not going to die tonight Ted.” There’s a spark of hope in his eyes. A little hint of relief and I can’t allow that. “You’re going to wish you were dead though. So much so, that you will beg me to kill you.”

~ Oceans Collide by M.A. DeOlmos Review ~

For years, Livie Acosta has lived in a sheltered bubble, avoiding people, along with any aspect of life that requires one to show emotion. Not to mention her decision to stay close to her mother has her leaving the comfort of her own home nearly on a nightly basis to save her mother time and time again. It takes the sudden death of her mother to force Livie out into the world in search for a new purpose. Upon this forced quest she immediately meets one of two souls that are going to rock her world into a new dimension. Lawrence Hawthorne knows pain, grief, and emotions period, all too well. Despite his carefree nature and easy going personality he also harbors some tough demons that immediately draw him to Livie. It doesn’t take long to recognize the deeply seeded pain that resides in her own soul and that leads Lawrence to call on his right hand man for help in protecting her.
As soon as Ocean Hawthorne steps onto the scene, Livie’s world… the void world she’s known since forever changes in a way that threatens to expose her secret. The Hawthorne cousins, vow to protect her from her self-destructive qualities amidst the angst, pain, and trials they all individually go through. Desperately they hold onto each other for support and as love and passion blossom it threatens to destroy the weak foundation of solitude that Livie has strived so hard to achieve. Will the intrusion of two beautiful and tortured souls finally be enough to induce the strength Livie needs to fight her demons, or will their love and devotion finally push her far enough to make the deepest cut she’d ever been forced to make?

Amazon * B & N * Kobo

The beautiful cover and the synopsis of Oceans Collide caught my attention. It appeared that the story would involve damaged individuals with painful pasts and lots of angst, and it didn’t disappoint. It was a rollercoaster of emotions.

Livie is a young woman trying to make a change in her life that hopefully will be happier than her past. Her past is quite dark and painful, and she has a secret way of dealing with those emotions. She soon meets Law after getting a job at his new martial arts gym. The two of them form quite a deep bond and friendship, and that’s all it appears to be is a friendship which both of them need. Law’s cousin, Ocean, moves back to help Law deal with some family business and to be a partner in the new gym. It quickly becomes apparent that there is something deep and sexual developing between Livie and Ocean…this is not a love triangle! As I said before, Law and Livie are just friends, and that does not change throughout the story.

There were aspects I really liked about the book, and then there were some things that I thought would have made it better. I LOVED the characters. There were many layers to each character. For example, Livie was a tough chick! She has been trained to defend herself and make no mistake she is more than capable of taking on anyone! Yet, underneath, she is so vulnerable and fragile, especially in dealing with her past. Ocean is your typical alpha male who is an MMA fighter. He is vulnerable and fragile underneath as well. I thought the title of the book was perfect. Because when these two meet, it’s like two oceans meeting. They are both beautiful souls, yet there is so much turbulence that the two of them could end up drowning each other. The only drawback to the book was so much action in such little time. It’s so rapid that it’s hard to wrap your mind around all the things that happen. There is also a cliffhanger, but cliffhangers don’t really bother me. Plus, the second book is out, so you don’t have to wait!

I enjoyed Oceans Collide, and I liked that it was told from different POVs. So, I knew what each character was thinking. I am looking forward to reading the second book. It is already downloaded on my Kindle. I can’t wait to see the even deeper levels of Livie, Law, and Ocean.

~ You’ll Think of Me by Lucia Franco Review ~

Luke Jackson.

With his thick southern drawl and seductive charm, Luke is the country boy everyone adores. He has his future mapped out, but his plans with Olivia are suddenly derailed when she makes a decision that blindsides him, changing the path they both envisioned.

As Luke struggles to keep everything in check during a difficult time in his life, he must put his trust in the one person who broke it to begin with. The last time they saw each other, Olivia busted his heart wide open, turning him into the man he is today.

When Olivia returns to her roots, just like Luke said she would, he is shocked for more reasons than one. Nine years have passed since they’ve seen each other, and when their roads collide unexpectedly, Luke can only push his worry and misgivings away for so long.

Things are different now—they are strangers—and the rope that once bound Olivia’s heart to South Fork, Georgia is pulling her back in, forcing her to remember how it used to be all those years ago.

Amazing Debut Novel by Lucia Franco!

Olivia and her boyfriend of 4 years, Luke, have just graduated from college and are trying to figure out the future.  Olivia dreams of going to medical school in New York.  Luke dreams of staying in small town Georgia with Olivia by his side.  When Olivia is accepted into one of the best medical programs in New York, she has to make the very tough decision to leave Luke and all she has ever known to go on this journey alone.

Fast forward 9 years and Olivia is now a successful neurologist and has decided to move to Savannah, Georgia, about an hour away from her hometown.  Olivia has missed Georgia and has, of course, thought of Luke over the years. Especially since the boy who loved to play guitar and sing sweet songs in her ear, has made it as a country music singer and she hears him sing every day on the radio now.

One day, while seeing patients, Olivia meets a hot, Southern gentleman named Nate that she has to treat since she is filing in for the other doctor in her practice.  There is an instant connection but Olivia feels it would be unethical to act on this.  After Nate agrees to find a new doctor, Olivia gives in to Nate’s repeated requests for a date.  Now, for the first time in 9 years, Olivia wants to try to open herself up to the possibility of loving someone again. 

However, a new patient of Olivia’s is none other than Luke’s mom and now Luke is back in the picture due to his mom’s health. Luke has moved forward with his life but has never forgotten the love he shared with Olivia. Now that she is back in Georgia, he can’t stop thinking about her. Now Olivia is torn between Nate and her first love, Luke.  Which man will Olivia choose? The one that has made her feel things she hasn’t felt in nearly a decade or her first love that she has never forgotten?

I loved this book!! I really enjoyed being able to see how things were between Olivia and Luke when they were younger.  It really helped understand their connection to each other.  Both Nate and Luke were totally hot, alpha males and I couldn’t help but love them both.  I’ve read and enjoyed a lot of rock star books but it was nice to have a change up with a Country music singer.  I am now a fan of Lucia Franco and look forward to reading more from her in the future! I definitely recommend this book to everyone, especially those that enjoy the 2nd chance romances!

Lucia currently resides in South Florida with her brainy husband and wild kids who drive her up a wall. There’s never a dull moment in her hectic world, but Lucia wouldn’t change a thing. Luckily she has a strong man to stand by her side and combat the craziness with her. YOU’LL THINK OF ME is not her first book, but it’s the first one she’s completed and likes. The others will come at a later date.

Two families.
One secret.

What happens when you fall for the enemy?

Thanks to their fathers’ feud, Nicole and Craig have been enemies since the moment they were born. But six years ago they fell in love… They just never told each other.

Motivated by their grandparents’ money, they agree to a simple deal: Stay married for a year and unravel the secrets and lies surrounding their fathers. Bound together, they must figure out why the two former best friends have spent the last thirty years ignoring one another and prohibited any contact between Nicole and Craig.

Craig is more than happy to uncover their fathers’ past if it means he gets Nicole for real.
Nicole wants to keep the past exactly where it is and she will fight Craig every step of the way.
With only limited time together, delving into their family history could be the mistake that will break both their hearts.

What happens when secrets and lies are revealed? Can Nicole and Craig live their Happily Ever After after waiting six long years to be together? Or will one secret be enough to break them apart, just like their fathers?

‘I’m doing this for us, Nic’

*THE DEAL is suitable for 17+ due to graphic sex scenes and language*

*This is a STANDALONE novel. Book two is a companion novel.

Craig has me backed against the wall, his hands either side of my head and his face is within inches of mine. I can feel his hot breath spurt on my face and his eyes are burning with anger. He look like he wants to punch everything in sight. Okay, so maybe I went a bit too far, but fuck him. I wanted a reaction from him and I sure as hell got one.

I plaster myself to the wall. I know he would never touch me in a million years, but something primal is in front of me and between being scared of Craig, I am getting turned on by this too. We have yet to have angry make-up sex and right now, as much as I want my bath, sex would not go amiss.

“Are you trying to fuck me up, Nic? Trying to turn me into a jealous fucker because I damn well am right now.” He spits out. His eyes are all over my face, from my lips to my eyes to my lips again. “I nearly punched the shit out of your little work buddy earlier. You fucking LEFT ME in bed this morning after our fight last night and then I see you all fucking happy as Larry with dickwad. Do you know how that made me feel?

I shake my head and go to push him off me, but that only spurs him on and his body becomes flush with mine. I have to bite back a groan at the contact. He wraps his hands in my hair and brings my face even closer to his. I can literally taste the beer on his lips and all I want to do is taste it on his tongue. But I need to stand my ground and not let him get one over on me.

“Well maybe you should stop trying to dig into the past, Craig, leave it the fuck alone. I’ve already told you I feel fucking bad for this morning but you’re a big boy, you should have learned how to set an alarm by now.” I bite back, “And I didn’t bring Jamie along to make you jealous, you wanker, I brought him along to meet you all. But no, you turned it into a pissing contest. I am no ones okay? I am not yours so calm your fucking jealousy.”

He takes a deep breath and closes his eyes. He unravels one hand from my hair and punches the wall next to me. I jump at the thud his fist makes and he falls forward, his face resting on my shoulder. I stand still, wondering what he is doing and I feel him wrap both hands around my waist. My hands are still idle at my waist, not wanting to touch him.

“Nic, you are mine. No matter what the hell happens. You. Are. Mine.” He murmurs into my ear and plants a kiss on my neck.

“Yeah, yours for 8ish more months.” I say and feel him shake his head and tighten his grip on me.

“No.” is all I hear from him. His words are confusing me and unless he cannot count how long we have left, he’s going insane.

“Yes.”

“No.” and with that he lifts himself back up and slams his lips onto mine. I falter back into the wall and Craig moves with me. His lips are hard and rough against my own and I try to keep up his pace. I wrap my arms around his neck, wanting to be closer to him, needing him closer. Our tongues are battling against each other, I can taste the beer and a moan escapes from the back of my throat. I feel Craig’s hands move down towards my arse and one hand grabs a cheek while the other grips my thigh and he hoists me up so my legs are wrapped around his waist. He pushes up further into the wall, so he can hold me in place and I can mould myself to his body; all the while our lips never parting. His kisses are like my next breath. I crave them all day and when I do get them upon mine, its like everything is put into place, I can breathe and let out everything I have been holding in all day.

Craig moans into my mouth when I take over dominance and bite his lip, sucking it between my teeth before running my tongue to sooth it. My hands pull at his hair, his hands are gripping my arse and I am writhing against him. I can feel him pulsating through his jeans and I can feel the hardness of his dick pushing into my own jeans and each time I move it causes friction for both of us and guttural groans escape us both.

Craig rips his mouth from mine and begins to attack my neck. He bites, sucks, licks and all I can do is roll my head to the side to grant him more access while I purr with need and want for this man in front of me.

“Craig, I need you to fuck me.” I whisper while he’s biting my pressure point. I swallow hard and suddenly we are on the move towards the bedroom. His lips don’t leave my neck until he throws me down on the bed and right there, that very second I can see just how jealous and angry and pissed off my husband is, but I can also see the passion and the need and want for me, and fucking too right, I am going to be another statistic to prove just how fucking awesome angry make-up sex is.

Beauty and the Mustache

Add to Goodreads.

There are three things you need to know about Ashley Winston: 1) She has six brothers and they all have beards, 2) She is a reader, and 3) She knows how to knit.

Former beauty queen, Ashley Winston’s preferred coping strategy is escapism. She escaped her Tennessee small town, loathsome father, and six brothers eight years ago. Now she escapes life daily via her Amazon kindle one-click addiction. However, when a family tragedy forces her to return home, Ashley can’t escape the notice of Drew Runous— local Game Warden, bear wrestler, philosopher, and everyone’s favorite guy. Drew’s irksome philosophizing in particular makes Ashley want to run for the skyscrapers, especially since he can’t seem to keep his exasperating opinions— or his soulful poetry, steadfast support, and delightful hands— to himself. Pretty soon the girl who wanted nothing more than the escape of the big city finds she’s lost her heart in small town Tennessee.

This is a full-length novel, can be read as a standalone, and is the fourth book in the ‘Knitting in the City’ series.

 

Also in the Series:

 

SEX! It all started with sex, between my parents. Personally I don’t like thinking about it, but whatever works for you is a-ok with me. No judgment. The sex happened in California and much of my life also occurred in that state until I moved from the land of nuts (almonds), wine, silicon… boobs, and heavy traffic to the southeast US. Like most writers I like to write, but let’s get back to sex. Eventually I married and gave birth to 2 small people-children (boy-6, girl-4 as of this writing).

By day I’m a biomedical researcher with focus on rare diseases. By night I’m a knitter, sewer, lino block carver, fabric printer, soap maker, and general crafter. By the wee hours of the morning or when I’m intoxicated I love to listen to the voices in my head and let them tell me stories. I hope you enjoy their stories.

~ My Coyote Ugly Life by Jessica Spoon Cover Reveal ~

 

Coming: September 26, 2014

“How on earth do I get myself in these situations? I swear it’s like a never-ending bad dream. One of all my mistakes that continuously bite me in my size ten ass.”

 

Azaria ‘Ree’ Gable had her one experience with heartbreak and that was enough for her. She’s perfectly satisfied with her ‘One Month Rule’ and doesn’t need her life changing anytime soon.

 

When circumstances take her back home, she learns things have changed…

 

A lot…

 

First and foremost being with the complete and astonishing overhaul and revamp of the Belton Police Department, where apparently the application was changed to state ‘Ugly Men Need Not Apply’ and the only requirement is ‘How Well Do You Look In This Uniform?’

 

Ree unexpectedly catches the eye of the new ‘gina-quiver inducing Chief of Police Grayson Cole, which starts an endless game of cat and mouse.

 

Will Ree let go of her misconceptions about relationships and allow Grayson to show her how beautiful life can really be?

“Urmph,” I grunt out as I run smack into
someone, face- planting in their chest because I was more worried about saving
the rolls. “Sorr-,” I begin to say and cut myself off as my brain registers the
police badge that is pinned to the chest of the individual I face-planted
into. 

Fuck. 

Shit, fuck, fuck, fuckity, shit-fuck!

My heart rate kicks up a notch and my
skin turns electric as my body starts to freak out; knowing, this is when it’s
time to run. 

“Erm… sorry,” I raise my head slowly,
dreading looking at the guy, “officer…” my words trail off, not because I’m
speechless, but because I can’t breathe.

Did you hear me?

I.

Can’t.

Breathe!

Why can’t I breathe?

Because I know this guy! Omigod, omigod,
omigod!

“Azaria,” he says my name in a deep
rumbly voice that washes over my skin, making me feel like fairies are dancing
all over my body in jubilation, such is the epic-ness that is his voice. 

He leans his head down (way down, because
he is so much taller than me), I look up and notice a halo form around his face
from the sun shining in the window, his caramel colored eyes flash with
amusement as his perfect lips form a half smile. I suck in a breath.  (Yep. I’m a fan of the half smile. Sign me
up, for I would love to have that mouth smiling against some very intimate
areas of my body.) 

Oh, my God, he smells so good. My body,
completely of its own accord (I swear!) moves closer to him, making it easier
to get a better whiff of whatever body wash it is that makes me want to take a
chunk out of him with my teeth. My ‘gina begins to quiver; the walls vibrating
with fury at not having him the other night.

His head moves to the side of mine where
he whispers, “I missed you the other morning.” Holy donkey nuts his voice is
sexy. 

Oh. My. God.

This can’t be happening. Nope. Not
happening. 

No way.

“O- officer,” I stumble over my words
trying to think of something to say, and reminding myself that this, after all,
is a cop. 

Not just any cop, of course. 

Nooo…

According to his nameplate he is ‘Chief
Cole’. Are you kidding me!? Why
couldn’t he just be a gentleman and ignore the whole situation like a normal
American!? No, he goes straight for it. Don’t hold back.

Jerk.

Okay, now how do I play this? I obviously
can’t use the whole ‘Do I know you?’ routine. My ‘gina quiver made sure of
that. I can’t just walk out and ignore him… Can I? Hmm… 

I don’t think, I’m capable of pulling off
the whole ‘Show- respect-to-the-officer-because-I’ve-had-too-many-run-ins-with-
the-law-and-I’m-a-bad-person’ routine either.

Okay. Well, that only leaves one option.

I step back, straighten my purse on my
shoulder, get a better grip on my box of rolls and look him straight in the eye
(with a polite, yet detached voice and face) and say, “Chief Cole. Nice to see
you again.”

And, ever so elegantly, I step around him
and head out the door. 

Whew! Close one. 

“Azaria, wait.” 

Shit. He followed me outside! Now what do
I do? 

Keep walking. 

Yep. Just… keep… walking.

“Ree,” he says as his fingers wrap around
my upper arm, halting my awesome walking away skills.

He turns me around to look at him and I
do a quick peripheral scan of the area to see how many onlookers we have to
what is about to go down; not many. Yet.

“Did you really just walk away from me…
again?” he asks astonished. 

“Did it look like I walked away from
you?” I ask, feeling a bit like a society snooty bitch and deciding to go with
it.

I notice a few people start to come out
onto the sidewalks to see what is going on. Great.
Well, they were bound to learn that I moved back sometime. May as well give
them the show they expect from me.

“Yeah. It did,” his voice and face are
completely serious.

“Oh, well. Then I guess I did,” I shrug
my shoulders and smile at him, this time sounding more like a dingbat valley
girl. 

Someone call the shrink! Chief Cole is giving Ree
Dissociative Identity Disorder!

 

My first book, Darkness Deserved, released July/2013. It is the first book in the Shattering the Darkness Series. 

 

I’m crazy and love my friends, family and booze. Yes. Booze. (Don’t judge me.) 

 

I used to never read when I was growing up. My mother always tried to get me to read and I wanted no part in it. I figured why read when it’s going to be a movie. (Yes, like I said crazy.)

 

Well a few years ago I jumped on the Twilight band wagon. I’ve always loved supernatural movies and when I saw the previews I knew I wanted to see it. And see it I did. I immediately went out and bought the books and became hooked.

 

They came to me at a very special time in my life. 

 

I discovered I loved to read and found my nitch in the paranormal and romance genre. I started a book club with a cousin and all of a sudden these thoughts kept assaulting my brain.

 

So I wrote them down. Then, deciding that I wanted to write, I contacted some wonderfully amazing women who helped me through the process. This is the result.

 

I love Breccan and Harper and hope you all do as well. The book is dark and graphic. It pushes the boundaries and will make you cry, (hopefully) laugh and (hopefully) fall in love.

Mafia capo, Antonio Spinelli blew through my orderly life like a cyclone.

Gorgeous and passionate, with a breathtaking brutality, he put me under his spell the moment he touched me, drawing me into his underworld of risk, violence and betrayal.

And I found, just as this sophisticated savage didn’t trust me, I didn’t trust myself. Something happened to me. Some alchemy from the heat between us.

I discovered I was a savage, too.

 

CD Reiss lives smack in the middle of Los Angeles with her children and husband. She likes to make pretty pictures and write dirty scenes. She eats dark chocolate and chili, together, sometimes with bacon, and doesn’t care what you think about that.

There are a million more things she could tell you about herself besides that, but they’re all too boring to mention in company.

~ Breaking Free by SM KOZ Review ~

Kelsie Sullivan’s life has changed forever. The once outgoing cheerleader has a secret to hide. The car accident that killed her best friend Jenna? She caused it.

With an absent father and unforgiving stepmother, Kelsie has nowhere to turn. She manages her guilt and grief with razor blades. The fleeting release she experiences becomes an obsession and soon she’s unable to hide it any longer. Once her cutting is revealed, Kelsie’s parents enroll her in a Wilderness Therapy program designed to rehabilitate troubled teens, but North Carolina is a world away from California.

Kelsie fights against everything the program has to offer until she befriends JC, a boy with a tortured past of his own. He’s also the only one who is able to ease her pain. The two grow close, but quickly discover that nature—both human and otherwise—can easily rip them apart.

Touching story of love and loss. This book deals with some tough topics but does it in a way that doesn’t glamorize or exaggerate and is tastefully done.

Kelsie is a 16-year-old beautiful high school cheerleader from California who seems to have it all. She suffers the devastating loss of her best friend, Jenna and feels it is her fault. In order to cope with the loss and guilt, Kelsie cuts. She tried to hide it but now her wicked stepmother has found out and is shipping her off to Wilderness Therapy Camp for 30 days.

When she arrives at camp, Kelsie meets 4 other teenagers who are going through camp with her. She makes up nicknames for each of them based on her impressions of them. After a couple days, she forms a bond with fellow camper, Tyrell, who she calls “JC.”

JC is a 17-year-old boy from a rough neighborhood in North Carolina and is at camp for having violent tendencies but Kelsie is not afraid of him. JC and Kelsie become fast friends that seems to have potential of becoming more but they are from different parts of the country and cultures.

What happens when camp ends? Will Kelsie and JC have to say goodbye forever? Will Kelsie find her inner strength to stop cutting herself or will she continue on a path of self-destruction?

This book was a great read and kept my interest from start to finish. I loved that I felt so many emotions during this book; at times it was truly heartbreaking, other times I was laughing. Wonderful debut by SM Koz!! I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys the YA genre.

SM Koz was born in Michigan, but moved to North Carolina for college and never left.

She enjoys traveling, camping, hiking, photography, reading, spending time with foster kids who call her house home, and learning new things. When she’s not creating online training for pharmaceutical companies (her day job) or writing, Koz can be found at the local community college taking courses on various topics ranging from digital art to HTML to desktop publishing. Next in line are auto mechanics and cake decorating.

Being trained as a veterinarian, it’s not surprising that Koz and her husband were recently told they have a mini-zoo with their two dogs, fish, cockatiels, and foster cats. In the past, they have also had parakeets and a snake. Other than the fish, all the animals were acquired through rescue organizations, something Koz wholeheartedly supports.

Breaking Free is Koz’s third original novel and fifth overall, but the only one she feels compelled to publish at this time. Her hope is that individuals who struggle with cutting may be inspired by Kelsie’s story and find the strength they need to begin the healing process.

~ The White Aura by Felicia Tatum Review ~

How do you live with the gut clenching truth that the one you love will die if you meet them? Twenty year old sorcerer Scott Tabors is learning how. After seeing seventeen year old Olivia Whitehead outside of a coffee shop, his heart will never be the same. He longs for her, he wants her, and he knows she will be his. They are heart mates. …but due to a curse on his family, he can’t meet her. Not yet. So for now, he visits her in her dreams. Her dreams where he can tell her everything but his name.
Olivia Whitehead is a typical junior in high school. She and her best friend are having the time of their lives, but she can’t help but notice the changes happening to her. Especially the changes in her heart after she begins dreaming about a mysterious dark haired young man. But what will happen when the school heartthrob decides he wants Olivia? Will she realize the dream man is real or will she move on?

Amazon * B & N * Kobo

From the very beginning, this book kept my attention because I wanted to know what was going to happen in the end with Scott and Olivia. Would they ever be able to overcome the obstacles in their way?

There were parts that I really loved about the book, and other parts that fell flat for me. Some things could have been expanded on to make things clearer, and maybe even help the story more. Though it wasn’t enough to make me stop reading the book.

I liked that Scott and Olivia had a type of forbidden relationship, though Olivia didn’t know about it at first. She just knew Scott as the mysterious man in her dreams. However, later on in the story, the reason why Scott stayed away from Olivia seem to be nonexistent until the end when it was brought back up again.

Though some parts fell flat, I still liked the book. I’m interested to see what will happen to Scott and Olivia in the next book. Are they ever going to get their happy ever after or will everything be too much for them?

I think that anyone that enjoys paranormal young adult books should give this one a shot. The story line is intriguing and the suspense is there, so it does its job of keeping your interest. I’m interested to see what Felicia will put Scott and Olivia through next.
