SURPRISE COVER REVEAL Leaving Her Mark ~ Leaving Marks #2 by T.a. McKay

Blurb:

I grew up without the life everyone around me got to experience. The life where they were safe and protected.  I lost everything I had ever loved, taken by the man who hated me for a reason I never understood. The daily fear of my childhood made me shut my heart away from everyone as an adult.

 

Until her.

 

She came into my life and turned it upside down. She was my friend, she was my confidant, she was my strength.  She also was the reason I have just made the worst mistake of my life, I let my anger win and now I'm paying for that moment of insanity.

 

Now she is the one who holds my future in her hands, everything is in her control. Will she be able to make the biggest decision of her life and save me from losing what I have spent so long trying to find?

 

I didn’t know there was someone out there who would give up everything for me, that they would put their life in danger for me. That they would be the home I had always dreamt about.

 

She is my everything and I hope she knows that she’s … Leaving Her Mark.

About the author:

I'm a contemporary romance author , and I am just about to complete my first series of books called The Into The Series.

I live in Scotland with my husband and three amazing children. I live in a very small village in the country so writing makes it easier to have friends, even if they are in my head.

I have always been a huge reader but it wasn't until 2013 that I was...lets say encouraged...to write my first book. I published on my birthday in 2014 and have been on a crazy roller coaster ever since.

My favourite things to read about are tattooed alphas...and if they have a dirty mouth its all the better!

I have met so many awesome people on this journey and I never imaged talking to some of my favourite authors, never mind calling some of them my friend.

If you ever go to a signing and there is a Scottish redhead fangirling in the corner....well thats probably me!

REVIEW Without Me by Chelle Bliss

Gutted the Gallos are no more :(

In the final instalment of the Men of Inked series we delve into Anthony. 

The playboy of the bunch. The i will never settle down guy ..... The wild child of the bunch. 

Until he meets Max ..... As always Chelle pulls you into the storyline and connects you to the characters with a twist you'll never see coming. 

Im struggling !!!! This book was AMAZING and i dont want to be spoilery !!!! Aaaaarghhhhhh

I didnt want to turn the last page a bittersweet ending to a fantastic journey x

REVIEW Vacant by Ker Dukey

Review

Ok so since i started reading dark ... I have read some truly messed up twisted (in the nicest possible way) books mostly courtesy of Ker Dukey and DH Sidebottom ... But sheesh .... It may only be a novella ladies but be under no illusion the depravity of what youre going read with Vacant (very clever title Ker). 
Vacant tells the story of Cereus' college days in vibrant colour and detail and the bitchiness that can come from the jealous social climbers of this world. As always there are twists and turns and plot hints right the way through, which have you guessing and coming to conclusions youre sure are right then wham Ker strikes again and shatters everything you thought was right.

It may be a novella ladies but be under no illusion ... Or as the case may be be under many different ones .... Its cram packed with plot, twists turns and darkness ! Enjoy ladies as always this is a spoiler free review x

Title: Vacant  (an Empathy novella)

Author: Ker Dukey

Genre: Dark Erotica

AVAILABLE NOW !!!!

Ryan

When two dark souls connect the draw is too dominant to ignore and the obsession of owning the only color to brighten my dark world too unrelenting to not obey. I left her alone so she could live a normal life but I was weak, how can she live a normal life after so much sinister chaos invaded her world, summoning her own darkness to the surface?

The depraved devil that is me now had an anchor, someone to venture into the black abyss with.

Normal wasn’t a path ever set for Cereus.

She was her Father’s daughter but my soul mate, even if I disputed ever owning one.

She was struggling without me in her life, the vacant ache inside her leaking out. I can’t not go to her, the need is too strong and like with all of my urges I embrace it.

 

*****REVIEW*****

In The Firelight by Sibylla Matilde

Holy Mary Mother of all thats Devine !!

This book follows Shea, shes loved shes lost and she has decided to go life alone in the backwoods of Montana with her beloved pooch Wolfie. 

Queue Rhys a sneaky devious corporate snake, tasked to turn Shea's world upside down. Until Snowcreek happens and turns his world on its axis. 

In The Firelight will have you laughing crying and shouting at your kindle ... Mine certainly nearly went flying a couple of times and Sibylla may have received some running commentary (verbal) as I read ....

Absolutely amazing story and connection with the characters ...... Now Siby ..... Book #2 in The Snowcreek SERIES thank you please ?

Synopsis:

Anna Rosa Castillo is unlike most 16 year old girls.

 

She doesn't care for clothes or make up, nor does she giggle with her friends about hot guys. Coming from a small town in the North of England, where drugs and criminals are at the top of the food chain, Anna’s life is an impossible mixture of pain and sorrow. Drawing and tattoos are her only way of escaping the tortures that consume her at home. She lives by only one rule – do whatever he says, and she might live long enough to get away.

 

All that changes when a fatal night lands the monster of her nightmares in a prison cell and herself in a hospital bed, staring into the eyes of a father she has never known. 

The addition of a father and family turns Anna’s life upside-down, thrusting her into a world she could never understand. Inner demons and unspeakable memories claw at her as she tries to build a relationship with her new family. But with her past looming over her new life, will she be able to break free?

Excerpt:

David finds me an hour later. I look up after doing another lap and I see him sitting on one of the sun lounger smiling at me. I get out the pool, wrap myself in the towel I left on the side and walk over to him, sitting in the seat next to him.

“Hi, Princess, good swim?” he asks me. He doesn’t look me in the eye, and I can tell something is wrong.

Oh no, is he sending me back? Is this because of last night? I knew this would happen. I never should have got attached to them.

“It was ok,” I reply in a small voice looking down, waiting for the inevitable.

“That’s good. Look, darling, there’s something I need to talk to you about,” he says as he hands me a cup of coffee.

I nod and wait for him to say more.

“I received a phone call today, Anna. From someone who wants to see you, your grandparents. They have been trying to find you since the news of your mother and they finally got through to me. They want to come out and see you. They’re fighting me for custody of you.”

I barely register anything he says after grandparents.

Mis abuelos.

What do they want me for? My head starts spinning as I begin to recall the last time I saw them. Before I can stop myself, I’m lost in the memories. I hear her words as though she’s right next to me saying them again.

Usted no debe estar dejando moretones que la gente puedaver.

You should not be leaving bruises that people can see.

I feel the tears fall down my face as I remember the harsh words and harsher beatings. I can hear David saying my name, but it’s no use. All I see is them. All of them. My stomach turns to ice as my breathing becomes laboured and sharp.

David touches my arm and I flinch. I look up and see the horror on his face. I take a steadying breath and say only five words to him before running off up to my room.

“Don’t let them take me.”

***REVIEW*** Breaking Free: Una Familia Segura By Annie Hughes

I read, & enjoyed, this book before it underwent this edit & overhaul. Yet I was still struck with giddy excitement when it landed back on my kindle for a reread, which speaks volumes about this brand new author, the story & characters she has created.  

Having read & reviewed this previously does NOT make this easier to write, I mean how can I condense all my thoughts into a spoiler free review???

As I did the last time I am gonna go with my gut & write this with the raw emotion I feel from finishing Anna's journey.

The horrors Anna has survived in her first 16 years of life are heartbreaking!  She may believe she is weak but I think she is far stronger than any of us could ever hope to be.

When Anna let her guard down & her true personality come through it is so funny, I find her responses & quick wit are similar to my own.

I can't avoid mentioning the good people in Anna's life & how thankful I am that she has them!
Chloe, Logan & Jake are the BEST BFFs a girl could have, although ranking order may prove difficult, they each have their moments & own unique ways to help. 
The dynamic & humour between Anna & Logan is hilarious. 
David & Mel are true saviours.

This new life is not without it's ups & downs shaking Anna's faith that these changes are permanent, you can't blame the girl for having doubt.

I couldn't  help but wonder, several times, is it all too good to be true? Can someone's life change so quickly & in such a huge way without it all coming crashing down?

This is one roller coaster ride that needs to be experienced first hand so you will need to read it to find out.

Thank you for this opportunity Annie, I can't wait to read Book 2. 

Come join us for some release day fun, Saturday 28th March-
