But it had been a long week at work and all I wanted to do was curl up in bed and spend the day snuggled up with my cats and escape into a world of fantasy and adventure for a few hours.<br /><br />My book of choice was Deadmen Walking by Sherrilyn Kenyon. <br /><br />Now, off the top of my head I don't think I've read a book from this author in almost seven years... and I have to say it was really easy to slip back into the world that has been created. <br /><br />Yes, there are some new characters to get to know and a few new rules to learn about them, but there are also a few familiar faces and mentions to help you acclimatize - and I won't waffle on about character and world building, because this isn't an actual review... just a few thoughts I've rattled off as I cook dinner!<br /><br />I'm guessing that fans of the Dark Hunter world will either have loved it or hated it and that's okay, I thoroughly enjoyed my lazy day in bed meeting new hero's and remembering why I loved this world to begin with... it may be time to catch up on all the books I've missed in between!<br /><br />For a new series within an already well established world I give it 3.5 stars<br /><br /><br /><br />Book Chatter Cathhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13393725854362507447noreply@blogger.com15tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4523051770037179471.post-1064767555853268742016-10-09T12:30:00.003+13:002016-10-09T12:30:48.282+13:00Forgotten Book Reviews ~ Menagerie by Rachel Vincent<div class="row">

<br /><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">When Delilah Marlow visits a famous traveling carnival, Metzger's Menagerie, she is an ordinary woman in a not-quite-ordinary world. But under the macabre circus black-top, she discovers a fierce, sharp-clawed creature lurking just beneath her human veneer. Captured and put on exhibition, Delilah in her black swan burlesque costume is stripped of her worldly possessions, including her own name, as she's forced to "perform" in town after town. <br /><br />But there is breathtaking beauty behind the seamy and grotesque reality of the carnival. Gallagher, her handler, is as kind as he is cryptic and strong. The other "attractions"—mermaids, minotaurs, gryphons and kelpies—are strange, yes, but they share a bond forged by the brutal realities of captivity. And as Delilah struggles for her freedom, and for her fellow menagerie, she'll discover a strength and a purpose she never knew existed. </span></span><br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The general meaning of Menagerie is a collection of wild animals kept and trained in captivity for exhibition, so I was interested in the concept of keeping animals/beings/mythical creatures in a fair-ground, much like the oddities in freak shows back in the day - or most recently as seen on television on the show American Horror Story (Season 4, 2014). And I've always been a sucker for myths and legends, so I was intrigued as to how this story would bring all the elements of story together.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I liked the beginning - it had a definite changeling (Irish/Scottish) folklore feel to it and I was immediately sucked in, such a promising start. The flash forward to her 12 year old self was okay - but it didn't really follow on the anticipation of the introduction. And then another time jump to 'present' day. *note: I'm not a fan of the multiple time jumping thing unless it completely affects future narrative and/or is actually at time travel novel </span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">(in hindsight - not so much)</span>.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">TBH - Dililah is boring. Boring life. Boring job. Boring boyfriend. Just boring. And I guess that's the point - she needs to grow as a person once she 'reveals' herself, it's a plot point - only it doesn't really work because she stays consistently boring! There are no high points or light points of story line to really get you motivated to root for her character and the possible romance factor is on such a slow burn it may in fact fizzle out - and for all their abilities/talents/weirdness - nothing of any importance ever really happens. It's all too even keeled which really is a shame. The potential for this story to blow your mind is right there - and yet its totally overlooked in favor of a 'nice' read.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I also was not a fan of the news 'snippets' interspersed amongst the chapters in an attempt to clarify 'the reaping' that had occurred - it just tended to add mud to an already murky story line.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">So while I was not impressed at all by this book, I am curious to see if the author can improve on the story next time around, so I may give book #2 a look.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I so wanted this to be an epic story... but with very little light and shade, it was just mediocre at best - 2 stars</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />Initially, I simply set out to read a book from cover-to-cover without getting distracted and losing interest as my recent track record has been - but very quickly, all that changed...<br /><br />Spark is the first book in a YA trilogy about genetically engineered people with superhuman powers and a <strike>creepy</strike> secret organisation that tries to control everything and everyone associated with it (it has a very cool 'The Tomorrow People' vibe to it).<br /><br />Evie is an average girl who has just buried her mother and she's trying to adjust to living with her aunt - but right off the bat you know she's sick, you know that weird stuff is about to go down, and it is so, <i>so</i> good.<br /><br />If you love young dystopian novels like The Maze Runner, The Hunger Games, and Divergent; there are definitely those same crazy institutional overlord vibes going on within the Affinity Project (the bad guys) but Spark is so much more than that - it has fabulous friendships, amazing first loves, and super awesome secrets that hold you to the edge of your seat! <br /><br />And the writing is so damn good - I <i>saw</i> it all playing out in my head! The author has an incredible talent for painting such lifelike scenes, I actually felt like I was watching a CW show. (Supergirl, The Flash, Supernatural, Legends of Tomorrow, TVD, iZombie, Arrow, etc, etc, etc, I am a CW show fa-na-tic!! and Spark would totally rule as a CW show!!) <br /><br />Full of twists and turns, mystery, adventure, and forbidden desire - Spark is a roller coaster read and quite easily the best YA book I've read in a <i>very</i> long time. And as an added bonus, I described this book to my fourteen year old and it's now on her tbr pile, and honestly, my nine year old is lining up to read it too and as a parent, any book that will get my kids off their devices is a blessing!<br /><br />Spark is a heart poundingly good read and completely deserving of a 5 star rating.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I've had a copy of this book on my tbr pile for quite some time but the third book in the series just released earlier this month and my feeds have been flooded with lots of beautiful cover art and I'm hearing fabulous things - so its time to dust my copy off and take the plunge!<br /><br />The challenge is... I want to get this book read within a week - considering the reading funk I've been in of late it may be harder than it sounds - however, I've only heard great feedback so I'm hoping to finish it much sooner!<br /><br />Here's the cover and blurb for those that might like to take a look...</span></span><br />

<![endif]--><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br />I’m sitting here at my dining table contemplating the whirlwind last few months... if you had told me earlier this year that I’d be living in a new town in my own home, pfft – I’d have said you were crazy, and yet here I am!<br /><br />My husband and I were only looking at what possibilities were available to us when we came across a cute place that ticked nearly all of our boxes, and in such a fast moving housing market we had to make a split second decision. Happily, things came together fairly easily, although I definitely gained a few more grey hairs from the paperwork alone! But we're now all unpacked and the kids have settled into school really well so it's happy dances all round!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We've
already started to put our personal stamp on things and I have a list as
long as my arm of little jobs that need doing just to brighten the
place up a bit, and as the previous owner neglected to keep up with
general maintenance I have some big jobs to get to also, but you know
what - I'm happy to do it because it's my own home! <br /><br />The only
real downside of buying my first home is that I need to get a job - the
days of being a stay-at-home mum while hubby goes to work are long gone
sadly, and expenses like a new roof are going to set me back more than I
can put aside on a weekly basis! I've already had to put in a new stove
as the old one was a fire hazard, and I just purchased a new range-hood
- although I've yet to book an electrician to put that in... those
elusive funds and all! So it's time to dust off the C.V and start
looking at job possibilities.<br /><br />As some of you know I closed up
Book Chatter Promotions late last year and the running of My Book
Chatter has slowly fallen by the way side also as my family commitments
at the time meant my time was needed elsewhere. The last time I read a
book was about three weeks ago and I only left a short review on Amazon.
The time just seems to slip away on me and if I'm being completely
honest, I'm really struggling to find something that holds my attention -
even my trusted favorites (authors) no longer hold their same allure. <br /><br />Hopefully I might be able to get in some reading time in the future but for right now it's all about the house... </span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">In the 5th book in the SkinWalker series, Panther shifter Kailin Odel is bombarded with problems.
The Great Ash Trees - supernatural guardian trees of the DarkWorld - are dying, and Kai enlists the help of MetalSinger & Fae Queen Tara to find those who threaten the stability of all the realms.
Then, Logan - still in his cryo-induced coma - makes a request of Kai that she cannot refuse. "Save her." Whether Logan lives or dies, Kai is determined to fulfil her promise to find the girl from Logan's memories and help him find peace.
What Kai doesn't expect is to find her in a world on the brink of extinction, a world Kai didn't even know existed. But there is more at stake than a missing girl. Can she keep her promises or will it be an impossible ask?
Filled with grief, and blossoming passion, redemption, and growing hope, Scorched Fury reveals secrets long buried and brings together a band of friends who are destined to one day save the DarkWorld.

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Abandoned by her mother and raised by her aloof Alpha father, panther shifter Kailin Odel has finally found a way to feel like she makes a difference. Discovering her unique power to track Wraith's, Kailin moonlights as a Hunter - ridding the streets of Chicago of these soul-sucking demons. Her human friends have no idea the supernatural worlds exists alongside theirs. No idea shifter and demons walk in the shadows. And Kai prefers to keep it that way.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Until she discovers the body of a murdered shifter, and is quickly embroiled in a world of supernatural drug-dealing and renegade shifters who leave a trail of blood and mayhem wherever they go.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">When Logan Westin, paranormal investigator and super-hot human, begins investigating the murder Kai refuses to allow her feelings to control her. Humans are off-limits, no matter how sizzlingly sexy they are. But can Kai keep him at bay? And does she even want to?</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">In her quest to find the killer Kai inadvertently puts her friends' life in danger and brings her to the attention of the sadistic shifter killer. Her comfortable life is gone, her friend murdered, and shifters are disappearing around her. To survive and to save her friends, Kai must allow herself to trust Logan, to give her scarred heart to someone again.<br /></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I have been a writer since I was old enough to recognize that reading was a doorway into my imagination. Books were my best friends, my escape, my haven. I am essentially a recluse and am blessed with a husband who has left me for golf. It's a fair trade as I have left him for writing. We are both passionate supporters of each others loves - it works wonderfully...</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">My heart is currently broken in two. One half resides in South Africa where my old roots still remain, and my heart still longs for the endless beaches and the smell of moist soil after a summer downpour. The other half of me has been transplanted to the island of New Zealand. A land of green, pure beauty that truly inspires. And because I am so torn between these two lands - I shall forever remain crosseyed.<br /> </span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="color: red; font-weight: 400;">When the line between fiction and reality bleeds, there is no end to the lies or a truth to be found.</span></span></span></span></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="color: red; font-weight: 400;">It was never supposed to happen. He was supposed to remain a porn star—the source of my fantasies—in my expansive collection of torture porn. But he found me, and he only wants one thing from me. He calls it the ultimate orgasm; death.</span></span></span></span></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="color: red; font-weight: 400;">He gives me the illusion of choice—my life or his.</span></span></span></span></h3>

<span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="color: red; font-weight: 400;">I thought my choice would be the end of my troubles, but it followed me to a town known for its close-minded, small population and hypocritical way of thinking.</span></span></span></span></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="color: red; font-weight: 400;">My madness lurks in the shadows. It watches me and seduces me with pretty smiles and dirty degradation. It assures me that my fantasies aren't wrong. It tells me that they will star in all of my nightmares…and I want nothing more.</span></span></span></span></h3>

She also has an affinity for characters that aren't necessarily the girl or boy next door, or the people you'd encounter in everyday life.

<span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;">Kellan Boyd always gets what he wants—except that one infuriating city girl who bumped into his new chick magnet sports car, dared to call him a jerk, and basically threw his pity check in his face.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;">Fast forward three months later.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;">When Ava Cross suddenly knocks on his door in the middle of a storm, soaking wet and in dire need of help, he’s determined to settle old scores and finally get her between the sheets where she belongs.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;">Ava knows Kellan is a complex man with a dark past and a wild reputation he can’t deny. Forced to stay, Ava begins a desperate search for the truth about the one man she wants to despise and quickly discovers that the passion she feels for him isn’t just deep…it’s dangerous to her heart.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;"><br /></span>

<span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large; font-weight: 400;">Hunter Jackson was on top of the world when that phone call came.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large; font-weight: 400;">His third X Games title still fresh, a female in his lap, and sponsors ready to offer him any deal he wanted--the kid from California had made it big. And then his phone rang. And it kept ringing. And that news that no one wants was waiting for him on the other line. "It's Mom," his sister said. And like that, his world changed. Months later, Hunter isn't skating--he's at home, taking care of his mom, and keeping the rest of his family together, flipping houses to pay for the medical bills that just keep piling up. In need of a new foreman, Hunter gets a shock when Isabel Rojas shows up to his job site, more gorgeous than any woman he can ever remember, and a mouth that whips of Spanish insults with deadly precision.</span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large; font-weight: 400;">Isa comes from a house full of dominant men ready to tell her what to do—she loves them, but she refuses to be the woman who takes orders from a man for the rest of her life. She’s determined to be independent: her own apartment, her own job, her own person. In a family as large and committed to each other as hers, this is not an easy task. Two years of community college, an AA in construction management, and halfway through her apprenticeship as an electrician, Isa knows what she wants, and she’s on a mission to claim it.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large; font-weight: 400;">When she shows up on Hunter Jackson’s job site, she has a chip on her shoulder, and an already formed opinion about the kind of man he is: rich, entitled, careless. The kind who broke her sister’s heart years ago—the kind Isa swore she would never let into her own life.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large; font-weight: 400;">I am the youngest of three daughters and I think this is the reason I enjoy writing about love so much. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large; font-weight: 400;">I come from a family of high school sweethearts, save myself (thank God), and I have watched how finding love, the real kind, can make a person stronger. My parents have inspired me every day because they found each other at eighteen, got married at nineteen, and never looked back. Now, 35 years later they are still going strong and it makes me realize that love really does aide us in all things.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large; font-weight: 400;">I write young and new adult books because I think it's the time period in our lives that is the most difficult and I enjoy love stories because we all need hope. Reading about love gives me hope, so I hope my writings about love do the same for any reader who happens to glance at the pages.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large; font-weight: 400;">I have a daughter, a Great Dane, and a beautiful husband. I love books, coffee, and my family...and shoes. Just saying.</span></span></span></div>

Their marriage left in tatters. Throwing himself into his new identity as Stealth - bad boy biker of the Satan's Savages MC club - plunged him straight into the arms of club girl, Skye. <br /><br />But with the Cartel on the club's back and danger at every turn, can Stealth truly turn on the brothers he loves. Will he give his <br />Unit the intel they need, putting his career before his brothers? <br /><br />Will it be the club, Skye, or Hannah, who is Stung by Stealth? <br /><br />Warning - Stealth's story is not a happy one. It's not full of undying love and happy ever after's. There's blood, turmoil and lives lost.

How about—I’m infiltrating your clubhouse, and I have to take down the brother’s I’ve grown to love. I miss my kids and wife, and yet somehow I feel like I’m falling for you too, which is only making things harder. I don’t want to betray anyone and yet I feel like, in the end, I’m going to betray everyone. Yeah, how do I explain that?<br />“I miss my kids,” I choose to tell her instead. <br />She nods and presses her forehead against mine. “I’m sorry. Is there anything I can do?” <br />I shrug. “Make my kids appear out of thin air?” <br />She giggles and nods. “Your wish is my command.” <br />The bathroom door opens and Jackson walks out. “I’m here.” <br />Skye backs up and her mouth drops open. “Please tell me that’s not one of yours? ‘Cause if it is, I swear to God I didn’t conjure him up.” <br />Throwing my head back laughing at the sheer awesome timing of that, I shake my head. “No gorgeous, this is Jackson. He’s Nikita’s kid. I’m watching him for her while she talks to Lookout.” <br />She slumps her body and nods taking a deep breath. “Oh thank God, ‘cause I thought for a second there that I was doing something I didn’t know I could. You know, super-powers and all that.” <br />Smiling, I pull her to me and kiss her forehead. “God you’re cute. No, that was just impeccable timing.” <br />“So I get the whole missing your kids thing now. When you’re finished babysitting, if you want to talk I’m here. I’m always here.” <br />Smiling at her, I nod. “Thank you, that means a lot.”<br /><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b style="color: #090af0;">About The Author</b></span><br /><br /><a href="http://s1168.photobucket.com/user/francesscawebster/media/Kim%20Author%20image_zpsjhjsgd8x.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo Kim Author image_zpsjhjsgd8x.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1168.photobucket.com/albums/r492/francesscawebster/Kim%20Author%20image_zpsjhjsgd8x.jpg" height="320" width="279" /></a><br /><br />Australian author K E Osborn was born and raised in Adelaide, South Australia.

bearded, bartender extraordinaire, Joe Collins, only intends to log into

woman. And in no time at all they're emailing up a storm, telling each
other their deepest darkest secrets...apart from the one that really
matters.<br />And when it comes to love, serving it straight up works better than with a twist.</span></span></span></div>

Each year I end it thinking a change is going to come. It had to come.<br />Only the last eight years I’ve clearly offended the devil somehow as he’s decided to pile some form of crap on my shoulders since the year I turned eighteen. Loss, betrayal, fears - I have been through it all. Life can change in an instance, ripping out your heart and soul and leaving you the shell of the person you once were. A shell that simply cannot be fixed.<br /><br />After years of suffering from the loss of her mother and the betrayal of two men, Amelia thought she was damaged for life. Ruled by anxieties and self-help remedies of Tequila chasers with her best friend, Amelia settled into her new life at the coast and a job she loved.<br />Men were never again on her radar. They hurt her in every possible way. That was until she found herself in the arms of a stranger. His generosity was foreign to her; his ability to make her trust was overwhelming. Finally, as her life took a turn for the better, Amelia could see a future and a possibility of a happy ending she so desperately craved. However, like her past, everything changes in an instant, and how would she survive if it should come crashing down around her.<br /><br /><b><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/29611639-found-by-you-the-spring-rose-bay-series-1?from_new_nav=true&ac=1&from_search=true" style="text-decoration: underline;">Add To Goodreads</a></b><br /><br /><a href="http://s1168.photobucket.com/user/francesscawebster/media/FBYTeaser2%201_zpskmgmhhzp.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo FBYTeaser2 1_zpskmgmhhzp.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1168.photobucket.com/albums/r492/francesscawebster/FBYTeaser2%201_zpskmgmhhzp.jpg" width="550" /></a><br /><br /><b style="color: #f6f2cc; font-size: 16px;">Purchase Links</b><br /><br /><b><a href="http://amzn.to/1PUoRvm" style="text-decoration: underline;">Amazon UK</a><br /><a href="http://amzn.to/1S2KYXX" style="text-decoration: underline;">Amazon USA</a><br /><a href="https://goo.gl/JXZTc0" style="text-decoration: underline;">Amazon CA</a><br /><a href="https://goo.gl/C4Xhnd" style="text-decoration: underline;">Amazon AUS</a></b><br /><a href="http://s1168.photobucket.com/user/francesscawebster/media/FBYTeaser1%201_zpsiacyleqc.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo FBYTeaser1 1_zpsiacyleqc.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1168.photobucket.com/albums/r492/francesscawebster/FBYTeaser1%201_zpsiacyleqc.jpg" width="550" /></a><br /><br /><b style="color: #f6f2cc; font-size: 16px;">About The Author</b><br /><br /><a href="http://s1168.photobucket.com/user/francesscawebster/media/KL%20Author_zpsqai6nb7l.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo KL Author_zpsqai6nb7l.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1168.photobucket.com/albums/r492/francesscawebster/KL%20Author_zpsqai6nb7l.jpg" width="150" /></a><br /><br />Kate has lived in South West England her entire life just on the edge of Dartmoor where the moorland goes on for days. It's beautiful, breathtaking and occasionally rather wet. <br /><br />Growing up as a kid, writing was never her course of direction as she disliked everything about it due to being dyslexic. However, overtime she got back into reading/writing and fell in love with adult romances. <br />Then one day two characters etched their way into her mind and didn't show any signs of leaving - the rest is history.<br /><br />She has a love/hate relationship with chocolate and the weekends are not the same without a vodka in hand. She's a sucker for a heart fluttering romance and can't help but go weak at the knees for a guy with a five o'clock shadow. ;-)<br /><br /><b style="color: #f6f2cc; font-size: 16px;">You Can Stalk K.L.

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Kade Cantrill is a soldier, a nomad without a Chapter to call home. The Savage Angels MC have welcomed him to Tourmaline though he has never felt compelled to stay in one place for long. But that was before he met her. If there’s one person who can convince Kade to stay, it’s Destiny Bennett. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> Minions of Death have a new leader, Adriel. Their numbers have increased and he’s going to take back all the business the Savage Angels stole from his club. Adriel intends to start a war and he doesn’t care who or what gets in his way. Least of all, Destiny. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> Destiny Bennett has always attracted the bad boys and when she finds herself at the center of an MC war, Kade must act quickly to save her from the wrath of Adriel. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> Will this Savage Lover expel his own demons to be the one Destiny needs to heal her brokenness? Or will Kade continue to allow his past to haunt him and extinguish any hope of a happily ever after?</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large; font-weight: 400;">* This is the second book in the Stark Springs Academy series, which should be read in order. You should read Black Diamond before reading the description below. *<br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />If you don’t like the rules, make new ones.</span></i></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">And if Ryker Black is your boyfriend, you better be ready to fight. On and off the slopes.</span></i></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large; font-weight: 400;">Overnight, Roxie Slade went from an outsider at Stark Springs Academy, to a ruler at the prestigious boarding school for elite winter athletes. But Roxie didn’t know if she wanted that power, and she definitely wasn’t sure about sharing it with Ryker Black, who came from a different world and lived by a different set of morals. Ryker may have decided to trust her, but could she trust him?</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large; font-weight: 400;">Roxie only cared about her rising position in the ski rankings, but now her status at Stark, and within the winter sports community, is skyrocketing, whether she asked for it or not. Can she handle both while attempting a real relationship with Ryker Black? Roxie once believed that her sole purpose was proving herself on the slopes, but she’s done that once, and she’s far from satisfied. She has so much more to prove.</span></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #222222; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Excerpt</span></span></span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Heavy footsteps roused me from my stupor. I don’t know how long exactly I’d been sitting in the bathtub, staring off at nothing, pondering the catastrophe my life had become. Couldn’t have been too long since sunlight still lit the room.</span></span></span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The footsteps came closer and closer. And then they entered the room. Oh, shit. I froze, not even daring to breathe. There was a loud yawn, followed by the cracking of joints. Then a large hand reached in beside the closed shower curtain and turned on the tap. A torrent of ice cold water poured down. It was like a billion itty-bitty knives stabbing at my skin. All of the scratches and raw patches from earlier stung like shit. I gritted my teeth, shoulders hiked up to around my ears as if that would provide any protection.</span></span></span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Yep, I sat there, all huddled up, listening to the man take a leak.</span></span></span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Awesome. Just plain awesome.</span></span></span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Wasn’t like I could jump out and interrupt the man midflow. And say what? I knew this was not a good situation to get caught in.</span></span></span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin: 0pt 27.35pt 0pt 45.35pt; text-indent: -18pt;">
<span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">1. I’d basically broken into this guy’s house.</span></span></span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin: 0pt 27.35pt 0pt 45.35pt; text-indent: -18pt;">
<span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">2. And had then gone on making myself right at home, having a messy emotional breakdown in his bathtub.</span></span></span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 18pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Normal, rational people didn’t do this sort of thing. I didn’t even have a criminal record, had never particularly done anything outlandish or interesting until now. This was all Chris’s fault, the bastard. I’d just have to make the best of it and hope this guy had a sense of humor.</span></span></span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Just as the water began to warm, he flushed the john and freezing cold water drenched me anew. I’d been about to open my mouth and announce my presence, but that put an end to that. Needles of icy cold water pelted down on my skin. I fucking froze. Teeth gritted, I suppressed a squeal of pain and rage.</span></span></span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Then the shower curtain flew back.</span></span></span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Shit!” The man was very tall, very naked, and very surprised. He stumbled back a step, a hand clutching at the bench behind him, eyes furious and wide. “What the hell?”</span></span></span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Good question.</span></span></span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">I opened my mouth, closed it. Language skills had apparently abandoned me. In total silence, the man and I stared at each other.</span></span></span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Even with no clothing to take cues from, the dude was clearly the epitome of cool. He looked about my age, or maybe a little older. He had longish red-blond hair, dark blue eyes set in an angular face, a lean but muscular torso covered in tattoos, and a rather large cock. Not that I meant to check him out, it’s just kind of hard to ignore a penis and scrotum when they’re dangling right in front of your face. I tilted my head, trying to get some perspective. Every viewpoint, however, was equally shocking. There was dick as far as the eye could see.</span></span></span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">And I should stop ogling him. Right.</span></span></span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Hi.” With a calm I didn’t even vaguely feel, I reached up and turned off the tap. Much better. His monster penis had momentarily derailed me, but I was back on track now. Time to talk myself out of this mess. “Hey.”</span></span></span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“What the fuck are you doing in my house?” he asked flatly.</span></span></span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Right. Well . . .” I neatly tucked my dripping-wet shoulder-length blond hair back behind my ears. As if that would help. My winged eyeliner and false lashes were probably halfway down my cheeks. “I, um, I . . .”</span></span></span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“You what?”</span></span></span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“I’m Lydia,” I said, the first thing to come to mind.</span></span></span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">No reply. His handsome face, however, took on a distinctly pissy expression. Even his strawberry-blond hair seemed a fiery hue. Fine, so we weren’t swapping names and getting cozy. Fair enough. You wouldn’t believe how hard it was, keeping my eyes on his face. The struggle was real. It might have been due to my not seeing one in so long, but his dick seemed almost hypnotic. The thing had magical powers, I swear. It was so big and mobile, subtly swaying every time he moved. My gaze kept darting down despite my best efforts.</span></span></span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Finally he put me out of my misery, grabbing a towel off a nearby rack and wrapping it around his waist. It made for quite the hot-looking miniskirt. Not just any man could have pulled off such a look.</span></span></span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">But back to my explanations.</span></span></span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">

Tattoos covered his arms to his wrists. Still, he had a whole lot of sinew on show. Definitely not the kind of man you’d want to mess with. Dude could probably snap me in half in a second. I bet he was a tattoo model, or a biker, or a pirate, or something. Something a lot hot and more than a little scary.</span></span></span></span></div>

Yep, that’s how I’d gotten in. Houdini had nothing on my mad skills.</span></span></span></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">

Christ, the holes in my stockings were huge. On one side, my entire foot stuck out. So screwed.</span></span></span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">

Up close the shadows under his eyes seemed even bigger and darker against his pale skin. And there were bags big enough to use as carry-ons. Despite the strong lines of his lean face, the man looked done-in. Ready to sleep for a hundred years.</span></span></span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">

I was going to get married today.” I took a deep breath, wiping my face with my hands. Just as expected, my palms came away smeared with black eye makeup. “Ah, boy. I must look a wreck.”</span></span></span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">

It was sort of threadbare, old. Dated like the rest of the house. I hadn’t seen more than one room, but real estate agents got a feel for these sort of things. Minimal upkeep for the past five or so years would have been my guess. Perhaps it’d even been left empty. Bushes out front hid the house from view, so I’d never gotten a good look at it before.</span></span></span></span></div>

What remained of my beautiful dress was a sopping wet ruin. “I’m sorry I broke into your house, Vaughan. I swear I don’t normally do this sort of thing.”</span></span></span></span></div>

If I don’t get some coffee soon, things are going to get ugly. And you probably need to get dried off.” With no fuss, he held out his hand. “Let’s get shit sorted out.

Then, with strong hands on my waist, lifted me out of the tub. Immediately water started dripping off of my saturated dress, pooling on the scuffed wooden flooring at my feet.

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;">"Instincts are what keep us safe from fate. Ignoring them can change your life forever.</span>
<span style="color: black;">Fame and fortune arrived overnight and after months on the road with her singing tour, all Estelle craves is peace. Tired and ready for paradise, she travels to Fiji to recuperate.</span>
<span style="color: black;">Stubborn and surly, Galloway is avoided by most--which is exactly the way he likes it. However, he's done spending his life in regret and hopes to find redemption in the tropical wilderness.</span>
<span style="color: black;">Together, they board the flight that changes their fate forever. Crash landing on a deserted island, they not only have to figure out how to survive with no skills and daily dangers--learning how to fish, find water, and build shelter--but also inherit two children who look to them to keep them alive.</span>
<span style="color: black;">However, staying alive might be the least of Galloway and Estelle's problems. As days creep to months and rescue doesn't find them, their desire for each other ignites.</span>
<span style="color: black;">They started as strangers.</span>
<span style="color: black;">They grew to be friends.</span>
<span style="color: black;">They fought the desire to be lovers.</span>
<span style="color: black;">Lust can be the most beautiful thing. Love the most rewarding. But not on an island where life hangs by a thread and giving into temptation can kill you.</span>
<span style="color: black;">Can they survive being forgotten or will love be their ultimate undoing?</span>
<span style="color: black;">From New York Times Bestseller Pepper Winters comes a timeless love story answering the question of what happens when everything is stripped away.</span>

<span style="color: black;"><i><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">TOUCH.</span></span></i></span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
<span style="color: black;"><i>She finally touched me.</i></span>
<span style="color: black;"><i>And I let her.</i></span>
<span style="color: black;"><i>Her fingers were hypnotically soft; moving over my face, across my lips, lingering on my throat.</i></span>
<span style="color: black;"><i>My body instantly hardened.</i></span>
<span style="color: black;"><i>I reached for her, but the touch dropped lower, across my sternum, along my lower belly, feathering on my hipbone to my thigh.</i></span>
<span style="color: black;"><i>My cock stood up, begging to be granted the same treatment, but the touch vanished, tugging on something around my leg.</i></span>
<span style="color: black;"><i>My teeth snapped together as the frustration I’d been fighting for months boiled over.</i></span>
<span style="color: black;"><i>Lashing out, I connected with hair.</i></span>
<span style="color: black;"><i>Not a faceless face or dream-figmented breasts.</i></span>
<span style="color: black;"><i>Hair.</i></span>
<span style="color: black;">Real.</span>
<span style="color: black;">My eyes flew open.</span>
<span style="color: black;">The dream ended.</span>
<span style="color: black;">And I shot upright only to slam back down again when I noticed it <i>wasn’t</i> a dream. Estelle bowed over me. Her knees against my thigh, her fingers unbuckling the seat belts and fabric ties around my splint.</span>
<span style="color: black;">I sucked in a breath, whisper-hissing in the dark. “What the hell do you think you’re</span>
<span style="color: black;">doing?”</span>
<span style="color: black;">Her eyes flashed then skittered across the camp to Pip and Conner. They slept in individual beds tonight, not needing each other’s support from the lonely memories of being parentless.</span>
<span style="color: black;">She froze. “I’m doing what you want.”</span>
<span style="color: black;">“What <i>I</i> want?”</span>
<span style="color: black;">A Technicolor porno unraveled in my head. What I wanted was her mouth on my cock. What I wanted was her straddling my hips and me thrusting into her tight, hot heat. What I wanted was <i>her</i>.</span>
<span style="color: black;">A thousand times <i>her</i>.</span>
<span style="color: black;">I gritted my teeth; balled my hands. I did everything I could to fight the undeniable urges volcanoing in my blood.</span>
<span style="color: black;">“Estelle, I suggest you move away from me.”</span>
<span style="color: black;">I gave her a warning.</span>
<span style="color: black;">I was a gentleman.</span>
<span style="color: black;">If I touched her now, kissed her, fucked her...it would be her fault for coming too close when she knew the uncrossable boundaries between us.</span>
<span style="color: black;">“Just tolerate me for a few seconds and then I’ll be gone.” Her eyes dropped back to my thigh. Tolerate?</span>
<span style="color: black;">She thought I couldn’t <i>tolerate</i> her?</span>
<span style="color: black;">Shit, I was in love with her. I spent my days falling more and more into goddamn love with her, and she thought I could barely tolerate her?</span>
<span style="color: black;">Stupid, stupid woman.</span></span></span><br />
