She’s got a sex “to do” list, and I’m just the man to help her check some things off. But this isn’t my story. It’s hers. Unfortunately for me, her story involves an ex-husband, a kid that hates me, and a pretty nice shot to my nuts. She’s a woman who thinks too much, always with a plan, a list, but I’ve got a list of my own. Emerson Mateo likes to tease me that I have lists for my lists. But I didn’t hear him complaining when he stumbled upon my Sex Bucket List. This is the story of how I brushed the cobwebs off my sex life, put myself back onto my list and not only fell in love with a younger man, but with myself, as well. Grab a pen and make your own Sex Bucket List!   REVIEW Mateo, Mateo,Mateo; I've just finished this book and I don't think I have ever swooned so much while reading a book. Amazing!!!. I absolutely adored Emerson's journey, so many true to life dilemmas with emotional life choice moments. I absorbed the plot like it was water & I was coming from a drought About the plot: Emerson is a divorced mother of 3 who completely puts her children first, she is a woman with body image issues, having 3 children will do that, she's funny, caring,honest and consumed with guilt over the end of her marriage and the effect it had on her children. Emerson is a also a woman who gave it her all for over 20 years with her marriage and despite the failure plods on, still continues to put others before herself, she's a mother, a friend and a sister. Mateo has observed Emerson, patiently waited, longed for a woman he believes was made for him. Mateo is patient in love, wise and so damn good with his words, you'll find yourself melt like his words are fire. Emerson and Mateo both work with each other and Mateo decides Emerson is finally ready he's seen a recent change as though Emerson is ripe for the picking, ready to live again and its time to make his move. Emerson Our eyes lock on each other and I'm not sure what I'm enjoying more, losing myself in this man or watching him lose himself in me. The sex bucket list evolves when during a drunken girls night with her two friends they unanimously decide its about time Emerson ends the dry spell and the sex bucket list is made. Weeks later Mateo finds the list on Emerson's desk from when she had carelessly left it there. In true alpha style Mateo declares every single item on the list is reserved for him. Not only is The sex bucket list filled with hot sexy times and humor it's brilliantly balanced with real life issues. The ex who suddenly decides he wants Emerson back, such inappropriate timing I thought adding a little angst and just when Emerson is finally finding herself and feeling love again with Mateo. Emerson: People are like puzzles. Everyone has certain edges, some sharper than others and some pieces fit together and some just don't. The sex bucket list is one of my favorite reads this year, it's different, it hits home, it's a captivating read & I loved it along with Prescott Lane's brilliant words & characters. "Sometimes you have to hold on tight before you can totally let go". I absolutely loved The reason for me and I am definitely looking forward to more from this author. I'm a diverse reader from MC, dark to swoon-worthy romantic, the sub genre doesn't matter to me what matters is if the writings right and I feel like I'm there with the characters then I'm hooked and this was definitely right.

  BLURB The thrilling conclusion to Crown of Lies from New York Times Bestseller, Pepper Winters “My body blinded me while his lies destroyed me. Penn Everett swept me from my world and into his, and when his lies fell apart, I finally opened my eyes to the truth. The awful, terrible truth.” Noelle Charlston had it all: her company, a love affair, power and protection. However, she didn’t pay attention, and in one night, everything she believed in, everyone she trusted turned out to be worse than fake. Now, she has no one to help her. No one to free her. She’s on her own and has to make the choice. Who to believe? Who to fight?  REVIEW
Book 1 Crown of lies to be read first. The final part, the wait is over and even though a cliffhanger is every reader's dread, Throne of truth is worth the wait & for those who haven’t read the first book yet you will definitely be jumping straight into Penn & Ella's continued story. A story of hidden truths, exposed secrets & lies, greed, corruption and you finally get to discover who the real Penn Everett truly is. Lies. They have a life of their own. They multiply, divide and conquer not just the listener but the Liar too. They illiterate the truth. They twist words until false is truer than reality. I should know I became a master of them. I absolutely love Pepper Winters writing her words are poetic the plot intense and gripping and she always delivers a read I can't put down until I've passed the Epilogue. Elle The shirt rippled down his arms to hang where his hands still remained wedged at his thighs. The white against black looked as if I'd cut off angels wings. As if I'd corrupted a God and made him trade a celestial existent for lowly all because I wanted him. Brilliantly written, Brilliant plot told in dual pov's and another brilliant gripping read by Pepper Winters.

So the last thing I ever expected was to find the biggest challenge of my life back home. My girlfriend died. I couldn’t even attend her funeral, let alone tell her goodbye or that I’m sorry I wasn’t there like I should’ve been. But she left me a gift. The best and scariest one I could’ve ever asked for. One I didn’t think I could handle…until the day I saw her tiny blues looking up at me in that airport. Chloe. Now here I am, raising my baby girl—with the help of my two best friends. Things couldn’t be better. Until she walked into my life. All I wanted was a nanny. Someone to take care of my girl when I couldn’t. What I didn’t count on was Addison, the brown-eyed temptress with a body of sin, and everything I didn’t need, but suddenly wanted.  REVIEW
Love,love,love a baby daddy story. Reckless hearts had everything I love in a romance read with the added bonus of an Alpha male like Collin, friends that are like family and swoon-worthy moments. Collin is an ex marine and shares a house with his 2 friends who were also in the forces and his 8 month old daughter Chloe. It's like 3 men & a baby, I loved the banter with the guys and the swoon worthy moments with their little Beaner as they called her. Addie enters the picture on a night out and experiences Collin's bossy ways they have instant attraction but he definitely rubs her up the wrong way. Addie is looking for a job so as an unemployed school teacher when her new friend Lia who is also Collin's sister informs her of a nanny position she agrees to go with her however Addie only discovers the bossy A-hole she dumped at the bar is Addi's brother when she goes for the interview. It's a slow start for Addie and Collin both struggling to adjust and acknowledge their feelings but when the inevitable happens there's a repetition of swoon worthy and hot moments. Reckless is told in dual pov's with great characters a heartwarming plot and a this series I would definitely follow. My first book by this author and I would like to read more.

Three players. Four strikes. Five rules. Six figures. Seven days. No safe words. Are you game?  REVIEW 7 days for a million dollars. Ella the sacrificial lamb. This is the game series and game one is book one. Ella, jobless, homeless with an offer of complete submission for 7 days in return for one million dollars. A game played by two rich and powerful men. A game they have played before. The end goal? I haven't a clue its a sickening prospect that anyone with wealth would make a move on someone so down on their luck with nowhere else to go and no person to turn to and I am so eager to find out where the whole game series will go eager to find out what is behind Tobias and Preston's motives. LP Lovell & Stevie J Cole are two dynamic and devious authors when their heads are together and as a reader having read previous books by these ladies I know I'm in for an unpredictable ride. A short story where each book will be a day in the contract, so seven in total. Looking forward to book 2.

DAY TWO I'm seriously beginning to grip my kindle hard with impatience. Just like Ella, so many questions are swirling around in my head. This is day 2 of the game, book 1 has to be read first. The whole game is a mystery as Ella submits to the two smirking men who have her completely in submission at there requests in this game of power but why? what is the reason for it? She has rules to abide by and the biggest not to ask questions. Ella: They're both everything I shouldn't want, and yet I hunger for them like an addict craving their dose. This is slow torture and I'm dreading but also impatiently looking forward to day 3. *Contains f/f, m/f/m & m/m scenes. Arc received for review purposes   BLURB In a blistering novel of raw emotion and desire, a tormented woman teaches an alpha male that money can’t fix everything . . . but love can. Tiffany : After fighting for a new life, I don’t want to play the victim anymore. However, with three kids to raise, I’m getting desperate enough to make a deal with the devil. My estranged brother-in-law, Blake, says he just wants to help, but he’s been trouble since I met him. I don’t know if I can believe this kinder, gentler Blake, and there’s a friction between us that has turned into the sweetest chemistry. He could be my salvation . . . or my downfall. Blake : I haven’t always had Tiffany’s best interests at heart but I’m ready to make up for my sins. Besides, I can’t help admiring her: The girl’s a genuine survivor, tough and lean, with eyes of steel. But the more I get to know Tiffany, the more I want her. Every inch of her. Which means I’m about to make a bad situation a hell of a lot worse.  REVIEW I loved Wait for it! 4th book in the series but can be read as a standalone, I didn’t feel I had missed anything previous in other books and there are no spoilers with regards to previous characters story's which has given me a huge incentive to also read those books. Wait for it is a plot with so much emotional healing taking place. Blake is a business man who is void of emotions and what he wants he gets and money is the answer to how he gets it, he's a rich man who buys his way through life. Blake has an estranged brother, a bad apple in the family who he pays to go away whenever he returns, Blake's motive is to keep peace in the family and to prevent his mother feeling hurt. Blake's first encounter with Tiffany is when he discovers she is his brothers wife with three children and pays her off to stay away. Tiffany has spent years trying to escape her husband Phil who won't sign divorce papers and the brush off and money thrown at her by Blake when she needed help didn't hurt physically like his brother does but hurt all the same. Tiffany is a woman with backbone, a woman trying to do her best for her 3 children but still a year on they are all still terrorized by Phil and unable to be free. Phil once again finds were Tiffany is with the children and in desperation Tiffany gets them into a car and she goes to see her friend for help. On Tiffany's arrival she finds a dinner party is in full swing and Blake is there. Tiffany and Blake's 2nd encounter goes completely different, Blake knows what his brother is like and his first assumptions from a year ago that Tiffany is like his brother is squashed when he sees the trembling woman before him, Blake was to quick to judge and to quick to make it go away with money. There’s a lot of content within Wait for it. A story of trust, change, lessons, new beginnings and discovering real love. An emotional journey with hot moments, a fitting end to Wait for it that leaves you wanting more as it doesn’t reach the full hea with proposals or wedding bells but does leave you with a smile on your face, I really did want the whole thing I thought the characters deserved that, I deserved to see that after feeling a part of their journey but alas i'll have to settle for what I hope happens. Told in dual pov's and brilliantly written by the author everything is balanced well in a way that I never felt one dreaded dip in the plot of boredom but I was eagerly turning the pages. My first book by this author and I am looking forward to reading more. Arc gratefully received by netgalley for review purposes NOW LIVE!

Excerpt #1 The office building loomed ahead of me. I squinted up at it, covering my face with part of my hand as the sun cast its glare against the glass. “What are we looking at?” Lucas whispered in my ear. I let out a little yelp and jumped away from him, and I would have run into a passing biker if Lucas hadn’t pulled me out of the way with his coffee-free hand. “Must you be such a pain in the ass?” “Must you try to kill me?” I fired back. He rolled his eyes. “Let’s go.” He started walking, hauling me with him. We weren’t walking in the direction of the office. “Um, Thorn—” “I will seriously shove this Starbucks up that skinny ass if you don’t stop talking and just listen for once in your life.” I shut up and followed, but only because he’d said “Starbucks” and was very purposefully moving in the nearest outpost’s general direction. If I looked pathetic enough, would he buy me coffee? That was what my life was coming to. Pity coffee. My shoulders slumped at the thought when we walked into the building. The smell of fresh baked goods hit me with full force, and my stomach growled loudly, saying to everyone, I’m a hungry bear and may eat my young. Out of the way, please! I followed Lucas to the line, still tempted to speak, but I figured if he wanted noise from me, he’d say something like, “You may grace me with your voice now, Avery.” Even though I wasn’t talking, every time I heard someone order pumpkin bread I sighed, loudly, so loudly that the barista eyed me cautiously. Chill, Starbucks, I’m not going to steal a piece of pumpkin bread. My mouth watered. I mean, I wasn’t that desperate. But if I took two, maybe three, steps toward her, yelled “Fire!” and then screamed nonsense about a bee attacking me, the pumpkin bread she had in hand would probably fall to the ground, and it would be wasteful if I didn’t rescue it from the ants. All creatures deserve food—but pumpkin bread was too good for ants, too rich, and they’d explode all over the floor from the richness and it would be my fault—for saving the barista’s life, right? From the bee? I think I just confused myself. “Why are you breathing so heavy?” Lucas asked from my right. I snapped out of my pumpkin-bread daydream and shrugged. “Sorry, low on sleep.” He gave a noncommittal nod and then it was his turn, greedy little bastard already had one coffee now he was getting two! “A venti macchiato and a large coffee with room for cream, two slices—” I elbowed him hard in the ribs. “Sorry, um, three slices of pumpkin bread, thanks.” He handed the barista his card, while my greedy eyes locked on the pumpkin bread as the barista placed it into a bag and gave it to him. With an exasperated sigh, he shoved the bag into my hands. “Just leave me one bite.” “No promises.” I was already digging into the bag, my mouth watering as I followed him around the counter with a little pep in my step. Lucas grabbed our drinks and motioned toward one of the tables. I sat, stuffed more pumpkin goodness into my mouth, and managed to chug some coffee almost all at once. Lucas shook his head. “I always forget how seriously you take your pumpkin bread.” I moaned and took another huge bite. “My theory is this.” He leaned forward, a smile curving around his gorgeous mouth. “Alright, out with it.” More pumpkin bread found its way into my mouth as I talked—I didn’t even care if I looked like a starved animal. “Pumpkin bread has the same addictive properties as cocaine.” “That’s your theory? That it’s a drug?” “Right.” I sighed and leaned back. “Except it doesn’t make you skinny, unfortunately.” His smile widened, and he grabbed a small hunk of bread. “Want to know my theory?” “Yes, that’s exactly what I was thinking—I hope Lucas tells me his theory so I can eat his portion of bread.” Lucas scooted the bag toward me and whispered, “Merry Christmas.” “Oh, pumpkin gods.” I moaned again. His eyes darted to my mouth. “What?” I wiped my lips. “Is something on my face?” “No.” He looked away. “So my theory is this . . . pumpkin flavoring is a conspiracy by the government to see how many ways we can market a flavor and make money off it.” “Boo.” I gave him a thumbs-down. “Thanks, grinch. Oh, and stop ruining holidays.” He smirked. “You’ve known forever that Santa isn’t real. Still doesn’t stop you from leaving him cookies every Christmas Eve, then sneaking downstairs and eating them all by yourself.” “One”—I held up a finger—“it’s genius because nobody will touch them for fear that I’ll get mad. Two”—I held up a second finger—“when everyone else is sad about the Christmas cookies being gone, I know I’ll have them all to myself. It’s like . . .” I sighed, “. . . a Christmas present. To myself.” “Except for that one time.” He smirked. “Cruel man.” I glared at him. “How dare you eat my cookies?” He shrugged. “They were sweet.” Was it hot? In this little Starbucks? By the window where the sun was searing me alive like I was under a magnifying glass? I tugged at my sleeveless blouse. “About Saturday . . .” Uncomfortable conversation, here we come! I strapped in and waited for the inevitable. And then realized, to my dismay, that he’d just bought me coffee and food without letting me go to the office. My eyes filling with tears, I shook my head a few times. “Lucas, I may give you crap, but I really need this job.” He frowned, like he was confused. “Don’t say another word.” I held out my hands. “I’ll do anything, Lucas—and I mean anything—to keep this job. I wasn’t kidding when I said my parents were chomping at the bit to get me to move home, and I don’t want to. It’s not just about me being defiant; they want me to take over the family business.” Lucas burst out laughing and then sobered. “Oh, you’re serious.” “I can’t sell chicken, Thorn.” “I mean, to be fair, Avery, your parents own a very lucrative organic meats company. I’m sure they could offer you at least five figures.” His smile was way too smug, but I still had to be nice to him rather than throw him off a cliff, because he could fire me.    REVIEW When you devour a book in one sitting, it's deserving of 5 Stars. Matt Where he'd always loved her too little, I'd loved her too much. The beginning of Mr Wrong goes to Cora & Jacobs wedding only the groom is missing. Matt is Jacobs twin brother and to save the day he grabs Jacobs tux and does what he has spent a lifetime doing, putting others first. Matt has always loved Cora they all grew up together but not showing his feelings soon enough left a wide open door for his brother to make his move. Jacob still hasn't arrived even after the vows, Matt has to say Matt which is really himself has food poisoning and even up-to the point of going on honeymoon the pretense is well underway to stop now and there's a flight to catch. Far fetched? Yes, but I absolutely loved it. I was completely swept away with this plot and Matt's motives. I felt anger,frustration, Jacob was a complete selfish, cheating ass who finally turns up two days later but the fight is on and I have never wanted the right guy to get the girl so much. I have a new bbf on my shelf Matt Adams, damn he is so swoon worthy and I discovered that more and more as the plot progressed. Matt sat back watched the girl he loved fall for the wrong brother because he just wanted her happy, that right there......gulp,swallow, fans self. .  BLURB Cora Matthews grew up with the Adams’ boys, twin brothers and best friends who wouldn’t let anything come between them—except for her. One of them became her best friend; the other, her fiancé. She always knew she’d wind up marrying one of them, and Jacob Adams is the epitome of Mister Right. At least until he fails to show up for their wedding. As Jacob’s best man, and identical twin, Matt makes a split-second decision that will affect the three of their lives forever—he steps in to take his brother’s place. In front of the altar, exchanging vows with the woman he’s secretly been in love with for years. But Cora finds out about the groom swap. The morning after the wedding. As if realizing she just slept with her fiancé’s brother isn’t disturbing enough, she’s forced to confront the feelings for Matt Adams she thought she’d buried years ago. Through the course of her real honeymoon with her fake husband, she uncovers truths both Adams brothers were hoping to keep hidden, for opposite reasons. One to protect himself, the other to protect her. She married the wrong brother, but what if he’s been the right one all along?

Both of them have experienced the sting and sham of love and have no intentions of falling victim to it twice. Love is expensive—hate is free. Three years. A million dollars. A solution to both of their problems. They planned it all, from the story of their first meeting to the date of their divorce. Nothing could go wrong. But what they didn’t consider was chemistry, and Nina and Max have no shortage of it.

This isn’t a love story. This is the other kind.   REVIEW 4 Knockout stars. I love a badass alpha fighter mix it with a romance that is a childhood to lovers story and I'm in love. Even when he was younger Jami was Alyson's protector. Alyson's mum was the victim of domestic violence, Alyson's father would drink and beat on her mother while Alyson cringed in her room. Jami would sneak in her window and confort her, they were childhood friends. Separated for years Alyson hadn't forgotten Jami but she had no idea what he was now or where he was until her friend Olivia dragged her along to a fight. There in all his glory and the main fight of the evening was Jami. A slow plot at first, the characters picked up where they left off in the childhood years to being friends but I felt argued over silly things, some justified, Aly is against violence given her history but to many arguments, both were stubborn and both childish at times. Not what I expected from Jami I hoped he would be the voice of reason with Alyson's stubborn ways. I do love it when the characters create a reaction from a reader with me it was frustration, the kind were you want to bang their heads together lol Overall an interesting plot that picks up eventually, the couple move on from friends to more and with additional angst and twists in the plot Knockout becomes an interesting page turner. Knockout doesn't lead to the full hea but you can start Tapout straight after which is what I intend to do. Hopefully Aly & Jami will find there balance.  KNOCKOUT BLURB From the wrong side of the tracks... Alyson Blake had learned early on that the only one she could depend on was herself. The only light in her life was a boy whom everyone agreed was destined for prison; but with his first kiss, he had set her soul on fire. Since the day the police dragged him away in handcuffs, she had managed to lead a quiet life, but when she attends an event fraught with mayhem, trouble resurfaces. The one person she can’t forget... Jamison Weston is the kind of guy dads load their shotguns for; endowed with a hot temper and a rap sheet as long as both tattooed arms. Known as “The Judge,” Jami’s hot temper, lethal fists, and cocky attitude have earned him respect and admiration both in and out of the ring. But just when he thinks he’s pummeled his past to death, Alyson Blake reenters his life. Two paths collide… After years of separation, Alyson is eager to reexplore the man who’s never left her thoughts, but for Jamison, she’s both the distraction he wants, but doesn’t need. As the two embark on a relationship that neither of them expected or bargained for, an outside threat closes in. When Alyson crosses the line of professionalism and takes her work home with her, her life is put in danger, leaving Jamison with no choice but to once again step in and become her protector. WARNING **Book One in a two part story.** This book contains a mild cliffhanger ending that will be resolved in book two. The release date for book two has been moved up to July 2014. If you do not like cliffhangers, you might consider checking out my Night Calls series instead. (   TAPOUT REVIEW Jami & Alyson's journey to a hea. 2nd book conclusion. History brought them together. Circumstances may keep them apart. In the first book I learned that Alyson and Jami were childhood friends, Alyson grew up in a home of domestic violence and Jami used to sneak in her window and comfort her. I loved Jamison for that and I admit it made me swoon, he was a guardian angel in a young girls life and a good friend. In Knockout both finally come together when Alyson is dragged along to a MMA match by her friend and she discovers Jami is the main fight of the evening. Tapout pretty much picked up where Knockout left off and both characters didn't change much with there petty arguments and Jami storming off and not contacting her for days after each disagreement but as the story progressed their relationship matured. An interesting plot with Spencer gambling all Jami's hard earned money away with his gambling addiction and all characters involved looking to find the money to keep Spencer from possibly losing his life to loan sharks. A steady paced read that leads to a hea with no heavy drama or angst Tapout is an enjoyable read and a great conclusion to Alyson and Jami's story. Reading as part of a box set of both Knockout and Tapout. Recommended fighter romance/childhood friends to lovers romance.  TAPOUT BLURB History brought them together. Circumstances may keep them apart. Alyson Blake’s past left her with scars. Scars that she tried to fix the only way she knew how—by helping others. But actions have consequences, and Alyson is about to find out that being naïve is no excuse. Fighting is Jamison Weston’s passion. Alyson is his obsession. Despite the past and a few lingering concerns, their relationship is as solid as ever. Until a shocking lie is uncovered and all of his plans begin to unravel.

Your thrust immediately into Lola's opinionated thoughts as she talks to her fish and works on her deadline for her column. Lola writes a column for a newspaper expressing her observations and opinions on relationships. Lola is a 32 year old rollerskating, pig-tailed woman who admits she still doesn't know how to grow up. Luke Reed enters the plot by posting a YouTube video telling the world about his own opinions of Lola's article and gets millions of hits. This is the birth of Lola's nemesis and the start of a new column, Reed This with a rival publisher. "Reed fucking Luca wasn't my friend He was my enemy, a really, really hot enemy. He was competition and was going the fuck down" "Lola Sexton was fun, and even better news, she thought I was too, she just didn't realize it yet" While it took me a couple of chapters to get used to Lola's quick- witted thinking and quirky ways I loved this story. Sex Says is fresh, fun with lots laugh out loud moments and great characters, it's certainly different from other romance reads but still has the hot and romantic moments. Recommended, entertaining & humorous read. Arc gratefully received for review purposes  BLURB Lola My name is Lola Sexton, and I’m a sex addict. Okay…that’s a lie. Truth is, I’m a serial dater turned dating and relationship columnist for The San Francisco Times. My readers call me Sex. Sex Says. I love my job. I love my life. And I hate Reed Luca. ** Reed My name is Reed Luca, and I’m a liar. Ironically, that’s the truth. I’m 31, and my occupation is…well, complicated. My favorite kind of woman comes in all shapes and sizes, but always has a big brain. I’ve never hated anything. Lola Sexton hates me. Luckily, it’s a thin line between love and hate, and with my help, pretty Lola will only be able to straddle that line for so long.  Sex Says is LIVE!

Roman, fan me down, I loved him. A playboy, a guy with a hot headed reputation on the ice but when the right girl comes along he does a complete one eighty. Roman is sweet,sexy and swoon-worthy. I was pulled into Lexi and Roman's story right from the beginning and loved the journey of all the characters. Lexi discovers after her mother's death that she has a father, Brian Brannon, boss of The Cold Fury hockey team also a sister Gray from the previous book Ryker who is Brian's daughter. Lexi's journey to finding love and a new family is brilliant, Lexi is a goofy, ukulele playing barista and an instantly likable character. Sawyer Bennett doesn't stop there though, oh no no no no, you get the added bonus of Brian also finding love with Georgia who has been a mother figure for Lexi. Georgia is a straight talking southern sassy woman who sweeps Brian right off his feet with her no nonsense demands for a date. I loved her character. You get Brian,Lexi and Roman's pov throughout this book and it's all balanced out brilliantly. Not a hockey fan? The plot is completely focused on the characters and what's going on in their lives, yes it includes talk of games, other players or training etc but that's as far as it goes. Hockey is merely the setting for the characters. So if you don't like sports romance don't write this series off. A story of new beginnings, new friendships, new relationships with added hotness and a thoroughly enjoyable plot. Really looking forward to Sawyer Bennett's next book her writing is addictive.  BLURB New York Times bestselling author Sawyer Bennett steams up the ice all over again as the Carolina Cold Fury hockey team’s hottest bad boy gets his first taste of something good. In a league full of troublemakers, Cold Fury defenseman Roman Sýkora stands out—at least when it comes to negative publicity. When he’s not chilling in the penalty box, the sizzling Czech skate demon is racking up tabloid headlines for his scandalous behavior with the ladies. But now Roman’s feeling the burn from management to clean up his act, or else. Luckily he’s got an enticing distraction: a fun-loving barista who plays the ukulele and brings out a side of Roman he didn’t know he had. Lexi Robertson came to Raleigh, North Carolina, to finally meet her father, Brian Brannon, and her half sister, Gray, both of whom work in the Cold Fury’s front office. That’s where she first meets sexy, intimidating Roman—who’s really a big softie at heart. As one relationship takes off, another begins: Brian seems to be clicking with Lexi’s boss at the coffee shop. But when the friction between Roman and her new family heats up, Lexi wonders whether she’s a pawn in their game. Feeling hurt and foolish, Lexi’s ready to quit while she’s ahead. Trouble is, Roman’s not ready to quit on her.  Title: Roman (Cold Fury, Book #7)

Prey left defenseless. She needs to hide. They cannot find her. They will kill her if they do. When Lucy decided to run, she didn’t know where to go. They were coming for her. She needed protection, but she had no one to help her. Until she came across the warehouse of the Deathstalkers MC and begged them for protection. Now she owes them her life and her loyalty. Her family will never end their search for her; she is a piece of property that needs to be recovered at any cost necessary. For Lucy, there are worse things than needing to hide for the rest of her life, being found is one of those things. Sometimes the obvious evils aren’t the ones you need to fear. *Disclaimer - The book is not recommended to readers sensitive to graphic depictions of violence. This book is not suitable for persons under 18 years of age.* REVIEW Everything I love in an MC read Corrupted is fast paced, has great characters, an unpredictable plot, hot content and a hot Alpha biker, I loved it!. About the plot When Lucy is 14 the night she is beaten for being disobedient and refusing to marry one of her uncles she runs away from the religious compound she has been living in. Bleeding and afraid Lucy seeks refuge in the MC's warehouse. When Jordan finds Lucy in the warehouse Jordan is instantly drawn to her, protective of her and asks the Pres's permission to keep her at the club house and keep her safe. At the time Jordan finds Lucy he is only a prospect and the Pres makes the decision to allow Lucy to stay but because she is only 14, a minor she cannot leave the compound for safety reasons and also to prevent the club getting into trouble. Lucy is to stay under Jordan's watch and only when she turns 18 would he get his patch this is the condition of her staying. The plot goes to Lucy's 16th birthday and her time living in the MC then her 18th were Jordan can finally be patched in as a member. The wait is finally over and Jordan after years of longing after Lucy and fighting his feelings can finally claim her. I loved Lucy and Jordan's story but its not all smooth sailing, danger is always lurking for Lucy with the Religious sect still after her. Corrupted really had me eagerly turning the pages with the angst,drama,danger, hot and heartwarming moments. Jordan is an MC bbf, I loved his character, his sweet talking and at the same time his dirty mouth. Trigger Warning: Corrupted contains violence and rape content. Reading as part of a box set and looking forward to moving onto the next book.  Heinous (Deathstalkers MC #2) I was never meant to have a happily ever after. It was a fate I accepted a long time ago. Before he came for me, taking away who I am, I needed to escape. Just for one night. One man turned my entire world upside down. I should have walked away, but something about him wouldn’t let me. Now I’m lying to him. He’s going to find out the truth, or my life will catch up to me. Either way, I lose him. It’s a thought I can’t bear. People have always told me love is amazing and powerful. They’re wrong. It makes you weak…exposing your vulnerabilities…making you easy prey. Love is heinous. REVIEW 4 Firecracker stars Another brilliant MC read just like the previous book in the series. Filled with action and MC goodness. Twisted is one of those characters you want to see find his girl in Corrupted he treated Lucy who is now Whips o'l lady Like his little sister, you get a glimpse of his backstory when he shows Lucy his scars, so my interest in his character was already piqued. Nikki is a feisty character & a good match for Twisted she's's a take no crap kind of girl. This is one of those story's where a one night stand turns into more. A bit about the plot: Nikki has been given a few months to herself and have freedom before she has to pay for her fathers debt were she is the payment and Nikki intends on having as much freedom as possible this is when she first meets Twisted. An interesting plot with Nikki having the secret of being on countdown and Twisted unaware his time with Nikki is limited. Both fall hard for each other but the clock is ticking. Told in dual pov's Heinous is another of Alexis Noelle's books I couldn't put down. Great characters a plot that contains everything you would expect in an MC read, dirty talking alpha biker, hot scenes, violence and euphoria. looking forward to more in the series, reading as part of a box set. Can be read as a standalone.  CHAOS That's my life. No other way to describe it. As the Sargent-at-Arms for the Deathstalkers MC, my days are filled with Constant craziness and crap. But I like it. It's who I am. And what I'm all about. Finally, after years of Hell, everything feels like it's right where it's supposed to be. Except with her She's far from where she's supposed to be. Tracie is so damned determined to be with someone who isn't "one of us." Delusional. That's what she is. Downright insane at times. Those idiots can't handle her. Will never be able to handle her. And I'm about to show her why. And she'll finally understand. Because this life ain't for everyone, Especially when danger lurks in the shadows of all the Chaos REVIEW "Loved you for years, sweets. Just had to wait til I was allowed to." Tracie and Torch's story. Reading as part of a box set 1-3 Tracie has been in every story up to now, each book can be read as a standalone but you get to see the same characters in each. Tracie comes across as a take no crap kind of girl, shes a part of the MC family and lost her parents who were also part of the MC and she stayed with the only lifestyle she knew. Tracie has a history of being a rape victim and Torch even though he has wanted her for years has been waiting for the right time. Tracie has a mouth, she's sarcastic but Torch having watched her for years knows it's all a front. "For the longest time I have wanted nothing more than to make you min. I am going to treat you like a queen. you will have everything you could want. I'll keep you safe and happy. You just need to let me" I loved Tracie and Torch's story they are perfect together. I also loved the plot told in dual pov's and like previous books you get a fare helping of hotness,drama,club business with danger but sadly in Chaos an enemy out for revenge has the club losing a few of its family. I did shed a tear, such an emotional part of the story. Another brilliant and gripping read, filled with characters I have grown to love and I am looking forward to more in this series.

BOX SET REVIEW
I cannot recommend this box set enough. This is one of those series's where you see all characters in each book and as each one gets their own story its like the cherry on the cake. Brilliant and lovable characters, MC drama and angst, heartwarming and heartfelt moments, hotness and danger and everything is brilliantly balanced out but still leaves you wanting more. looking forward to more in the series I went from one book to another and couldn't get enough, I loved each of the characters story's equally but do have a big soft spot for Whip who took care of Lucy from being 14 and waiting til she was 18 to claim her as his in Corrupted. All different story's all exciting and all leading to hea. Everything I love about MC reads is right her in this box set. Warning of Rape and violence content in some books.

Vivienne and Matt have known each other since childhood Matt being her brothers best friend. A blip in his career has Matt hiding out from the hype of his downfall and escaping the media. Vivienne's brother lets him stay at his place to hide out. Vivienne and Matt haven't seen each other properly since they were kids apart from a near one night stand a couple of years ago that Matt cant remember due to alcohol but like a woman scorned Vivienne does, so their reunion is a little icy on Vivienne's part. Told in third person, A slow going plot, I didn't feel the connection to the characters I was merely an outsider looking in to their story. A heartwarming romance with no heavy drama or angst, this isn't a hot read but is perfect for that well needed relaxing reading time that leads to a hea. BLURB Matt Reed was living the dream until a bad career move sends him back to his hometown for much-needed privacy. Instead, he finds someone he never expected: the woman whose steamy kiss he remembers like it was yesterday. Vivienne Forrester finally has her life in order... until Matt moves back to town. She doesn't want to think about the time she threw caution to the wind with him, but running into him everywhere, it's impossible not to.. A rock star hiding out from the media circus + one small-town food blogger + one friendship that leads to more. #BandontheRun #OneMoreKiss#Shaughnessy #rockstarinhiding #wordporn Want to know more? Check out ONE MORE KISS:http://samanthachaseauthor.wixsite.com/bandontherun    REVIEW Such a fun read I really enjoyed Bossed. A light-hearted office romance with a bossy Alpha and a take no sh*t heroine Jenny and Ethan meet each other on a side walk and literally bump into each other and his attitude leaves Jenny no choice but to give him a piece of her mind. Ethan is how you would describe arrogant,cocky,rude and annoying. On arrival to her interview Jenny discovers the ignorant cocky male she recently encountered and left with a good piece of her mind in her wake with is none other than her potential boss. Bossed has great characters with humor and hotness in the plot, no heavy drama or angst, a little bit of a heart tug with Jenny's father being ill but it's an easy to read story told in dual pov's which leaves you finishing the book with a happy sign. Looking forward to more from this author and I hope Matt, Ethan's friend gets his own story too. Arc received for review purposes  BLURB He’s the boss. But she’s ready to take charge. In this provocative and sexy* office romance, a cheeky new hire tempts a hotshot sports agent to mix business with pleasure. Jenny: Job interviews are a bitch under the best of circumstances, but when your potential boss is the world’s biggest prick, that’s when you should simply walk away. It’s just that I need this job so badly—and I’m mesmerized by Ethan Mason’s piercing gaze. Men like him aren’t supposed to exist in real life. But under the tailored suits and GQ looks, Ethan simmers with barely restrained ambition. And no matter how hard I work to fight the attraction, I’m going to get burned. Ethan: You don’t become a top agent without learning how to close a deal. I always get what—or who—I want, by staying cool and in command. Then Jenny Jackson walks into my office with her lush curves and “screw you” attitude and blows away my intentions of keeping things professional. All I can think about is exploring the perfect body hidden beneath those conservative clothes or shutting her saucy mouth with one hot kiss. Jenny’s worth breaking the rules over—if I can convince her to break the rules for me. *By sexy, we mean sexy. Like, 18+ sexy.  Ethan has a dirty mouth and knows how to use it, if you know what I'm sayin'...

Shared hit all the combinations I like. 1. An alpha male 2. Action 3. great plot 4. Mafia Romance 5. Hotness 6. HEA I couldn't put this book down. About the plot: When the Russo family comes under threat Bianca's uncle wants her protected and hires Maddox and Damon to do the job. Trained in the Forces and good at what they do, they are brothers from another mother, with heartfelt backgrounds they do everything together including sharing women. Both Maddox and Damon knew Bianca from their school years before they joined the forces. Bianca was the girl in school that was untouchable, a mafia princess, forbidden fruit being a Russo. Even then both boys wanted her. Now she is in their care and under their protection. Iv'e read other menages and this was so different, it isn't all about the relationship aspect, don't get me wrong there are some hot scenes but the plot and the action is what also had me turning the pages. Told in each characters pov. This is my first read by this author and I am looking forward to more. Arc received for review purposes  BLURB
We're dead for touching her. But I don't want to stop. Damon and I know first hand how cruel and unforgiving the world can be. We grew up relying on each other just to survive. Since then, we do everything together, from fighting to sharing women. Until Bianca. Our honey bee. We’ve been tasked with keeping her safe. Our job is simple: don’t let anyone touch her. It should be easy, but she’s untouchable and we’ve both craved her for years. Her lust-filled gazes and soft, kissable lips beg us to take her. She knows this is wrong. All three of us do. But the forbidden is too tempting to refuse. She brings out a different side of me I’ve never felt before. Jealousy. I see it in her eyes that she wants us both. Together we can overwhelm her with pleasure that she’s never imagined. But I want those sweet moans all to myself. I don’t want to share her. Not anymore. *Author's Note: This is a MFM full-length ménage romance that is all about the woman. There are no M/M scenes. This story is all about TWO hot, bad boys who fall for the same woman...

REVIEW Hard rules is a plot filled with mystery and manipulative characters. ABOUT THE PLOT Shane Brandon is a lawyer working for his family business The Brandon empire. With a dying father and Shane's brother wanting the reins, it seems everyone is the enemy and no one is to be trusted not even his own mother. Emily is on the look out for a job having applied for a few jobs, starting anew in a new city, there's more to that which isn't revealed and she first meets Shane in a coffee shop and from the moment she meets to ending up in his bed she didn’t know she would end up being his father's secretary when one of her job applications is successful. The one night stand that wasn't to be. Emily ends up a pawn is this family's ruthless games and someone Shane falls for. Shane genuinely begins to care for Emily and doesn't want her caught in the crossfire and wants her away from any destruction pending to the family games with links to Cartel and drugs that Shane is trying to get to the truth about with his brothers dealings but Emily is determined to stay. I still don't know who Emily is but know she too has her secrets. I didn’t understand the beginning of this book with a character called Teresa? that completely threw me with that scene, maybe Emily is Teresa, honestly I haven't a clue I'm completely frustrated with this book. I kept waiting for something to happen in the plot, some excitement, anything to keep me turning the pages other than the thoughts of maybe something will happen soon but it didn’t come. Two brothers in a battle for the company, with Shane keeping a close eye on his brother and trying to dig up the dirt. I got bored, I'm sure in the second book more will come to light but this book didn't entice me into reading it apart from wanting to know more about secretive Emily. Told in dual pov, more mystery and suspense than romance, ends on a cliffhanger that will either have you wanting book 2 or it won't. Arc received from netgalley for review purposes  Synopsis

This is a continuation of Tyler & Charlotte's Journey, If you haven't read Loves Learning curve then you are missing out on some seriously swoon worthy stuff so you need to read it then come back for more Of Tyler in Trouble with the curve. details of Learning curve below after review. I loved Tyler and Charlotte's journey to the final HEA. A vindictive ex best friend, evil reporters, viral social media videos and a father with a guilty conscience wanting to rewrite history. Tyler takes pride of place on my BBF shelf, damn that boy could melt butter off an ice cube with his swoon worthy words. A guy so hopelessly in love he would do absolutely anything for Charlotte and as He begins to reach his goal of getting into the big leagues in baseball he struggles with the adjustments he will have to make while being away from home and missing Charlotte. "Buttercup I always thought my biggest dream was to be drafted into the MLB, but I was wrong. The best dream is making you mine - All Mine". I haven't a clue about baseball it doesn't matter what sport it is the whole plot is focused solely on the characters and baseball is Ty's job its a topic and a part of his life, you don't have to be a fan of the sport to love this beautiful story. From book 1 to book two it was a beautiful journey with great characters, a brilliant balance of everything that makes a contemporary read great, hotness and intimate moments,a touch of angst, a swoon worthy guy and a hea that leaves you with a smile on your face.

Opposites attract, so they say, but what WILL happen when these two opposites collide?   3.5 Stars Boring Brock & Plain Jane, their words not mine. The Bachelor Auction is such a sweet Cinderella style romance with lots of humour. The bachelor Auction told Cinderella style including evil selfish sisters, Jane scrubbing floors & doing dishes,putting everyone first above herself. Brock's Grandfather announces to the press that Brock is to be auctioned off for their annual charity event. Brock's Grandfather has business reasons behind the planned event but also wants his hard working Grandson to find a girl. It was a ball of fun to read with some funny moments, I especially loved Brock's twin brothers. A heartwarming romance told in third person, normally I prefer first person but it was a perfect fit for Jane & Brock's story. Great characters, an enjoyable plot and leads to a hea. A perfect relaxing and swoon-worthy read. Arc received by netgalley for review purposes t.  Cinderella never had to deal with this crap.
Jane isn't entirely sure that Cinderella got such a raw deal. Sure, she had a rough start, but didn't she eventually land a prince and a happily-ever-after? Meanwhile, Jane is busy waiting on her demanding, entitled sisters, running her cleaning business, and . . . yep, not a prince in sight. Until a party and a broken shoe incident leave Jane wondering if princes---or at least, a certain deliciously hunky billionaire---maybe do exist. Except Brock Wellington isn't anyone's dream guy. Hell, a prince would never agree to be auctioned off in marriage to the highest bidder. Or act like an arrogant jerk---even if it was just a façade. Now, as Brock is waiting for the auction chopping block, he figures it's karmic retribution that he's tempted by a sexy, sassy woman he can't have. But while they can't have a fairy-tale ending, maybe they can indulge in a little bit of fantasy . . Brock Wellington is waiting... What's your bid?

Please note the old cover may still appear on Amazon etc You deserve to trust someone unconditionally and that someone is you. Not only does Michelle Horst write beautiful story's with heartwarming and heartbreaking moments she never fails to impart touching messages to her readers. her words are chosen with finesse and care even after the Epilogue. From the cover to the Title it wasn't what I expected at all. I was quickly pulled into the story and Liam's agonising memories from the loss of his sister. When Liam and Mila meet its in a college setting and from the moment his eyes see her there's a magnetic pull but he watches her from afar for two years and the last day of college he finally makes his move before his chance is lost. Mila is from a similar background to Liam and slowly everything unfolds and you follow the journey of two people destiny brought together. "Just a touch of Lust, that's all it takes to prove to you that you belong to me" Liam's sweet words and phrases is enough to make any girl swoon but Mila has a hidden dark past and is too afraid to expose it to Liam's light. A damaged girl unable to move forward because of what she left behind, and a fear that consumes her into pushing even those she loves away. I was gripped and taken on Liam and Mila's emotional journey told in dual pov's. I felt there was a jump in the plot from Liam and Mila's time apart and a sudden twist that occurs without build up but other than that there is a brilliant balance of emotional pull throughout the plot and the intensity within the intimate moments are well written. Michelle Horst never fails to introduce me to a Heroine and hero who not only tug on my heart but give me joy when they save each other. Liam was right - People are like feathers some keep you flying for a short while before they leave, and then a new person takes their place. A recommended emotional heartwarming read that touches on sensitive issues containing cult involvement but does not go into to much into depth on such but focuses on the future and the journey forward of the characters. Authors words:If you're going to give it all, then give it your all for you.

He’s part of the screw-crew. It’s better to stay away from him, but you can’t tell your heart what to want. He’ll judge me. He won’t understand. It’s easy to judge someone because of their past. I’m scared Liam will be just like all the other people. But he doesn’t judge me. He comes into my life and refuses to leave. He doesn’t give up on me. He helps me accept the guilt that lives inside of me, because it also lives inside of him. We’re both damaged by the past. We’re both looking for someone who will understand. We’re both looking for someone we can surrender to. But it’s hard surrendering all your broken pieces. “Some feathers will fall along the way, but new ones will always grow back. It doesn’t make the old feathers less important because they kept you flying for so long – they kept you alive.”     REVIEW Two broken soul's fighting for control of a wildfire. A story of healing and the hero who gets the damsel in distress only this isn't like a fairytale romance along the way you get characters who have sleepless nights,nightmares and are consumed with guilt and it seems only together with each other can they find a healing that brings peace.

With alcohol clouding his judgment Jude makes wrong decisions resulting in both of them being Hurt by the flames but had he not arrived she would have died. Years later the two are reunited but in their dreams they have never been apart. This is the start of Jude and Rhion's relationship. Rhion has no close family but is part of a family of men of The Guardian protection agency who have been looking after her since her fathers death and she was left his fortune. An exciting concept a book for each one of these hot bodyguards I loved the characters main and extended. Singe is a heartwarming read that contains humor, drama, hotness and a plot twist, told in dual pov's and leads to a hea. I found Singe slow paced and it did take me a while to get into it, I felt there were to many character introductions at once, it got me confused with who was who, or who exactly the main characters were to each person introduced for that matter, mainly Rhion, I didn’t feel it was explained or a good picture was painted helping the imagination to prevent that confusion, it took the graduation of the plot and a familiarity before I understood who was who, what relationship they had with the main characters and their role. In summary Singe is a great contemporary romance read with promise of an exciting series to follow.

Every time I closed my eyes, I watched her fall into that inferno. Over and over, I failed to save her. I hadn’t been able to reach her, and the guilt only burned hotter over time. Four years later, I was the unreachable one. Heroes aren’t always saints. Sometimes, we’re nothing more than jaded sinners driven by sleepless nights and hearts full of darkness. And then I met her. She was a dreamer who managed to soothe my scars and heal my wounds. But, as the flames closed in around us, I feared I wasn’t the right man to save her. That is until I realized she was the one woman I’d burn the world down to protect.  Chapter One
Jude “Tomorrow, it’s on me,” I said, standing up off the barstool. Behind the bar, Carmen waggled her eyebrows, seductively calling out, “Funny, I could be on you tonight if you stayed awhile longer.” I laughed at her innuendo and tossed her a wink. “I gotta get home, babe. Seven a.m. comes way too early.” “Well, offer’s on the table,” she purred. It always was with her. And, if I wasn’t careful, I’d eventually take her up on it. Not that sleeping with Carmen wouldn’t have been good. But, when you find a cheap bar only five minutes from your house, you don’t fuck that up by dipping your cock into the bartender. “Later, Carmen,” I called, pushing the door open and heading to my car. I wasn’t out of the parking lot before I heard, “Officer Levitt? We’ve got an alarm going off in Park Hill. You mind taking a look on your way home?” Banging my head back against the headrest, I groaned to myself. Park Hill was about as “on my way home” as swinging past California on the way to Maine. Switching my radio to my other hand, I complained, “I’m off the clock, Jocelyn.” I had been for several hours, even if I hadn’t made it home yet. She laughed. “I’m sorry, but you’re the only one remotely close. I had to send two cars out to the Laslows’ to break up another argument between Cam and his old man.” “They at it again?” I asked. “Apparently, Cam told Lindsey he didn’t want the baby. Lindsey told his dad. Old Man Laslow lost his mind.” I chuckled, putting my blinker on and then doing a U-turn in the middle of the empty road. “Christ. I bet he did. I know the man’s seventy-five, but I sure as hell wouldn’t want to go toe-to-toe with him.” “I’m with you on that. So…you gonna head out to Park Hill?” she asked in a sugary-sweet tone. I grumbled deep in my chest. “You’re gonna owe me some of that banana bread for this. I missed it the other day when you brought it up to the station.” “I don’t owe you anything.” She giggled. “However, as a personal thank-you from the state of Illinois, Park County, and the owners of Park Hill, I’ll bring you in a loaf on Friday. Deal?” “Deal. I’m en route now.” “Stay safe, and radio in with your report.” “Yes, ma’am,” I replied, knowing exactly how much thirty-year-old Jocelyn loved being called ma’am by a twenty-five-year-old man. “Don’t you—” “Gotta go.” I turned the volume down to mute her, grinning to myself as I flipped my lights and siren on. I’d been a cop for two years. And, in that time, I’d been out to the privately owned Park Hill estate at least a dozen times. It wasn’t unusual for the alarm on the mansion to get triggered. It never amounted to anything. The expansive estate was on the very edge of the county, and trouble didn’t usually travel that far out. More often than not, a bird at a window or a bumbling new member of the grounds crew would accidentally trip the alarm. Truth was, no one actually lived in Park Hill. The owners visited sporadically. But, for the majority of the time, it remained empty. Some minutes later, I cut my siren as I pulled up to the entrance. The cold air assaulted me as I stepped out of my patrol car with my flashlight in hand and aimed at the keypad on the massive security gate that blocked the driveway off. That damn thing alone had to have cost more than I’d make in a lifetime. Forget about the house inside. The smell of wood burning in a fireplace wafted through the night air. I guessed someone was home for a visit. I typed in the emergency code on the gate panel and then climbed back in my car and made my way down the tree-lined driveway. I’d spent the day on patrol, and, with the exception of some minor vandalism across town, it had been a slow one. Though, in the blink of an eye, that would change. Along with my entire life. “Oh fuck,” I breathed as the main house came into view on the top of the hill. After throwing my car in park, I jumped on the radio at my shoulder. I could barely get the words out as I slung my door open and took off at a dead sprint. “This is Officer Levitt! I need fire support at Park Hill immediately!” And then I froze as a wave of adrenaline crashed into me like a tsunami. An inferno roared in the night sky, but it was the small silhouette of a woman perched outside a third-floor window, smoke pouring out all around her, that knocked the breath out of me. My heart stopped, but my feet continued to pound against the pavement. Jocelyn’s voice caught me. “What’s going on?” “I need medical too!” I barked as I got closer. “The whole damn place is in flames and there’s a woman trapped!” The woman’s long, black hair blew out behind her like a battered flag whipping in a storm. I couldn’t make out her face or her skin color or even guess at her age for the black soot covering her, but her fear was unmistakable. And unforgettable. “Hang on!” I yelled up to her. “Oh my God!” she screamed before it turned into a fit of coughing. “Help me!” “Hang on! Don’t let go!” Frantically, I searched the perimeter for a way in, but it wasn’t only her house that was on fire. Flames were encompassing her. The yard and all the surrounding flowerbeds. Top to bottom. The first and second floors were completely engulfed, and if the sound of shattering windows was any indication, it was quickly making its way up to the third floor—to her. “No! Don’t leave me!” she screamed, panic thick in her garbled voice, as I started around the side of the house. A wall of heat stopped me in my tracks. Throwing an arm up, I did my best to block my face while scanning the building for any possible entry—or, in her case, exit. But there wasn’t a surface of that house that wasn’t ablaze. Except the roof. Son of a bitch. I spoke into the radio. “I need an ETA on fire.” Jocelyn replied, “They’re on their way. Five minutes out.” I didn’t have one minute, much less five. Fuck. My pulse quickened, sending blood thundering in my ears. I was a cop. I’d trained for chaos. I should have been able to come up with a solution for a situation like this, but they didn’t teach you how to conquer the impossible at the Academy. And, as I took inventory of the flames dancing beneath her, I knew that was exactly what I was up against. My gut wrenched as I helplessly sped back around the house. She appeared almost childlike, hovering barefoot on that narrow brick ledge, but her long-sleeve top and her loose-fitting pants clung to the body of a woman. Jesus Christ! Where was that fucking fire truck? “Is anyone else in the house?” I yelled up to her. Not that I could have helped them, either. Short of running into a burning building, on what would surely be a suicide mission, there was not one thing I could do. And didn’t that little reality feel like a wrecking ball to the chest. “No!” she cried, a loud sob lodging in her throat. It turned into more coughing, her body shaking violently with every heave. I fisted my hands at my sides as my anxiety spiraled higher. “Please. Do something!” she begged. I ground my teeth together and once again glanced around as if a water hose and a ladder were going to suddenly appear out of nowhere. “Hang tight, okay? Fire trucks are on their way.” “I can’t hold on much longer!” she cried. “Yes, you can,” I demanded. “I…I think I need to jump,” she coughed out. I assessed the massive fire below her. I’d never be able to reach her before it swallowed her. But there was no way I’d be able to stand by and watch her burn. No. If she jumped off that ledge, she was going to get us both killed. “Don’t you dare,” I barked. “Don’t even think about it. Two minutes. They’ll be here.” “I…I can’t.” “Two minutes,” I repeated. “Hold—” Suddenly, a window to her left exploded, shooting glass and flames in all directions. I covered my face as she screamed in a paralyzing mixture of fear and agony. It cut me so deep that I knew I’d bear the scars for the rest of my life, and that had nothing to do with the glass and everything to do with the heavy weight of my failure already lingering in the smoke-filled air. When I opened my eyes again, I caught a glimpse of orange flickering in the window behind her. Panic built in my chest. “You need to move!” I yelled. She shook her head and continued to cough and cry. But it wasn’t an option. I couldn’t help her. Though I damn sure refused to watch her die. “Please. Just listen to me.” I swallowed hard. “You can’t stay there.” I looked to the roof. Sending her higher seemed wrong and went against everything I’d learned in my limited fire training. But fuck, my options were having her jump into a conflagration or scale up the side of a building in hopes of buying us the precious minutes needed for the fire department to arrive. Drawing in a smoke-filled breath, I made a decision that would haunt me for the rest of my life. “You need to climb up to the roof.” “I can’t!” she shrieked. My stomach twisted, but I gentled my voice. “Look, I know you’re scared. But I’m right here. I’ll help guide you up, but, sweetheart, it’s bearing down on you. You gotta move, and I mean now.” She choked on a mouthful of smoke as she attempted to look over her shoulder. “You’re going to be fine. I swear to you,” I lied. “But you have to move.” “I’m not going to make it!” She had to have yelled it in order for me to hear her, but I felt her defeat slither over my skin like a whispered goodbye. I took a long step forward, too focused on her to feel the heat singeing my skin. “Yes, you are!” I declared. “Move your ass up to the roof and we’ll both be out of here in time for breakfast.” Her gaze landed on mine, tears forging paths down her soot-covered cheeks, her disbelief obvious even from yards away. “Are you sure?” It was a ridiculous question. It wasn’t like I could make any guarantees. It was fire, for God’s sake. But that didn’t stop me from covering my heart with my palm and vowing, “I swear on my life you’re going to make it through this.” Her hesitation was evident, but with one last sob, she inched her small body farther out onto the narrow ledge, reaching the tips of her shaking fingers out for the windowsill above her. “Good girl,” I praised, a fraction of relief washing over me. And then I sucked in a sharp breath as one of her shaking legs slipped out from under her. “No!” I yelled. On instinct, I rushed toward the flames, my arms stretched out in the air as though I could catch her. A scalding heat blistered my face and forced me to stop, but the real pain was in my chest. I watched in horror for what felt like a lifetime as she fought to right herself, her dainty arms flailing like a wounded butterfly frantically trying to catch the wind. But there was none to be found. My heart lurched into my throat, and my breath seized in my lungs. And then a deep, guttural sound tore through me, shredding me from the inside out, as I watched her fall. I woke up in a cold sweat. It wasn’t exactly something new. I’d been dreaming of Butterfly for over four years. She always flew directly into the flames, screaming as I stood helpless to save her. Swinging my legs over the side of the bed, I cradled my head in my hands and tried to pretend I was okay. That wasn’t exactly something new, either. I could still feel the heat on the back of my neck. My lungs were still thick with smoke. The pressure in my chest never left me. The distance while I was living in LA had helped. But, in the week since I’d been back in Illinois, I’d woken up every morning at that blazing house. I didn’t even have to be asleep for the memories to assault me. I should have gone back to sleep. It was my first day at my new job, and the last thing I needed was to show up haggard and sleep-deprived. But, as I’d learned over the years, another fiery butterfly awaited me on the other side of REM. No way I was volunteering for that. I pushed myself off the bed and tugged a T-shirt on, preparing to head down to the hotel gym with hopes that I could outrun the mental fog that had been hovering over me since I’d returned. There was a reason I’d thrown all of my shit in my car and driven as far as I could all those years ago. Yet, somehow, I’d come full circle. But I’d come back a different man. At least that’s what I’d told myself as the deafening roar of doubt had overwhelmed me the moment I’d driven across the state line. Regardless, it had been time to go home. I’d been gone too long. Or, as I’d decided as I’d passed the exit to Park County, not nearly long enough. |
