BLURB

To understand me, you have to understand my pain. 

You have to understand where it all started...

I see her differently now. 

My friend, Michelle Douglas. 

It’s the summer of 1994 where the love of the 80’s still holds on for dear life.

She’s wearing a black ACDC shirt that hangs over the shoulder and she is hanging out with a group of friends. 

I don’t know what it is about her right now, but in this moment, everything has changed for me. 

Everything about her calls out to me. 

I think it always has. It always will.

Her love isn’t easy to get, but I’m determined to get it. 

There’s one problem.

She’s promised to another.

An abusive man that doesn’t know he has the entire world right in front of him.

We fall in love realizing we have always been in love. 

She’s going to leave him. 

I have the rest of my life planned out. My future is Michelle. 

I just need to survive the war. 

I need to come back to her. 

But when I do…

Nothing is the same.  

And everything has changed.

Life. 

Love. 

Shows no mercy.

EXCERPT

“Okay.” Brandon slaps his hands together and rubs them villainously. “Let’s go get our palms read.” 

“In there?” I point to the double-gallery house behind him. There isn’t a sign. There’s a blue neon light in the shape of a palm in the window, and in the middle it says, ‘Palm Readings.’ Nothing else. No business name or anything. If anything, the building gives me the creeps. It’s two blocks over from Bourbon Street, so it isn’t as busy. It’s dark; the only light illuminating the sidewalk is from the blue glow of the sign. 

“Look, this place has got to be legit, right? I saw a flyer at the bar,” Brandon protests.

Michelle is grabbing my hand tight and hiding behind me, peeking out from around me. “It looks creepy,” she whispers, just as the wind blows, causing the wind chimes hanging above the doorway to tinkle mysteriously. 

I narrow my eyes at the musical instruments creating gorgeous high-pitched tunes, but the closer I look at them and the more my eyes adjust to the night, I begin to notice something off about them. I take a step forward, the porch groaning as I step onto it. 

“What are you doing?” Michelle hisses to keep her voice low so no one inside hears us. 

Doubtful, since no one seems to be here. 

“How have we lived in New Orleans all this time and not done this? I’m excited.” Brandon goes to knock, but I grab his wrist before he can. 

“Because locals fucking know better. Either you dive into the real shit or you don’t. Tourists don’t care,” I explain.

I keep my arm stretched out to keep Michelle behind me. Something feels off. I look around noticing no one else around. The upbeat jazz music has faded in the distance, but the cheers of drunk people can still be heard. 

The clonks of hooves tap against the road, which has me turning my head to see a horse and carriage. The loud wail of the chimes rings again, bringing my attention back to the odd shapes. Are those… my eyes widen when I finally see what I think they are. 

“Oh my god, are those bones?” I reach up to touch them to see if maybe they feel real, but Michelle stops me. 

“Don’t you dare. If they are bones, you could catch something…” 

“They aren’t real. Come on.” Brandon runs his finger over what looks like a ribcage. “It’s supposed to be spooky. Gives it the ‘real feel.’” 

“Your friend is right, mon cher.” An old woman’s Cajun accent has us all jumping and taking a step back. 

When the hell did she open the door? 

“‘Dem bones are from a cat. Don’t worry. It was already dead. Did not want to let it go to waste.” She rings the chimes by pulling the spine that sways in the middle and runs it across the ribs to create more music. 

Honestly, now all I hear are sad meows.

AUTHOR BIO

K.L. Savage decided they were tired of looking for the kind of books they wanted to read. They had an itch that needed to be scratched, and as every girl knows, nothing scratches better than an alpha.

They write about gritty, alpha males, sometimes their dark sides, and the women they love.
If you have the same itch, their alpha males should fix that.

Review: Rhapsodic - Laura Thalassa

Rhapsodic by Laura Thalassa
My rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars

Rhapsodic by Laura Thalassa was an interesting read. The story focuses on Callypso a siren who when in a bind when she is younger calls on the help of The Bargainer, a mysterious man who fixes things, but they come at a price, one that although Callypso is willing to pay she doesn’t quite understand what it means. We follow her relationship with the Bargainer as she collects beads on her bracelet waiting for him to collect on them and we see her grow from a young girl into a young woman. It is only when she is older that the mysterious man comes back and he is ready to collect, we just don’t know the reasons why and what hat will mean for Callypso.

This book was unique and different as we see into the past and the present and Callypso helps the Bargainer and Fae King with a problem that he is having in his kingdom. The book jumps backwards, and forwards and we see the relationship build between the two. The book does leave you with a lot of questions (this is a series) and the story at times is creepy (when trying to figure out what is happening in the kingdom) and sexual (the building relationship between Callie and Des) and I don’t want to give too much away as there is a lot of twist and turns, but boy is this book a page-turner!

If you’ve read any of this authors books before, you know that you are going to be pulled into a wild, mysterious ride and this book was no different. Although a little slow in parts, we really get to know both characters and the world in which they live and are trying to survive. A great read about two soul mates who just needed some time to figure things out whilst trying to figure out answers to questions which are going to be haunting.

Review: Cash - Lola Wright

Cash by Lola Wright
My rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars

Cash is book 5 in the Devil’s Angels series by Lola Wright. We’ve met Cash in previous books, he is the strong, silent type who is just a genuine nice guy. He is the problem solver of the Devil’s Angels and the person that everyone seems to turn too when they need help. Enter Livi, a police officer who has instant chemistry for Cash and they try to build a relationship, albeit slowly. But things certainly go awry for Cash when something life altering happens to him and he tries to hold all the pieces together without giving something up.

This was a wonderful book to read. Not only do we have great characters like Cash and Livi, but also the secondary characters such as James (Livi’s best friend), the two Aunts and Cash’s dad, to name but a few, who just added context, laughs and great moments to this book. Cash and Livi’s relationship wasn’t easy and I liked that things weren’t glossed over as they tried to figure out what they meant to each other, although it did feel like Cash needed to sort himself out a lot more than Livi.

Characters from previous books are back and sassy, strong and hilarious as ever. This MC is all about family and we continue to see it in every book as we learn more about the trials and tribulations that each character takes!

If you like hot MC romances with some heartbreak, humour and sexiness, then Loa Wright is the author for you!

Review: Wild - Kenzie Macallan

Wild by Kenzie Macallan
My rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars

Wild by Kenzie Macallan is book one in the Deep 8 series. The book focuses on Sean Knight, a former SEAL who is asked to go back to Afghanistan to extract a world-renowned Hacker. On his journey, he finds his former childhood best friend and investigative reporter, Jess Wilander who seems to be in a world of complication with the kidnapping of her sister.

This romantic suspense had a lot of twist and turns. We follow Sean and Jess’s story as they figure out that they are looking for the same person, up against people who seem to hold all of the cards and a lot of secrets. There is a strong attraction between the two characters and a lot of a action which keeps you wanting to turn the pages in this suspenseful read! Definitely a new series that you’re going to want to read!

ARC received for a fair, honest and sometimes long review. All opinions are my own. 😊

Review: Huck - Jessica Gadziala

Huck by Jessica Gadziala
My rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars

Huck is book one in the Golden Glades Henchmen MC series by Jessica Gadziala. This book throws you straight into the characters lives from the beginning. Harmon has moved next door to the MC, she works at home due to a lot of complex reasons and just wants to be left alone to do her job and live her life. But not everything goes to plan when she is thrown into the life of the MC and Huck, the president of the MC who is gruff, sexy and instantly attracted the quirky Harmon.

I really enjoyed reading about how complex Harmon’s life was and how she is seen by her family (which was quite heart-breaking) and how Huck and the rest of the MC help her to come out of her shell and live her life, regardless of how at times that could be dangerous. Huck is just one of those delicious, domineering characters, who although he doesn’t want to fall for Harmon, just gets her and her complications.

I enjoyed both the humour and the intrigue in this page turner, and I’m interested to see what happens with the rest of the MC and hopefully seeing more of Huck and Harmon as their relationship keeps growing. If you like your MC’s full of action, great characters with some intense chemistry, then this is the one for you!

Review: Saint - Ruby Vincent

Saint by Ruby Vincent
My rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars

Saint is the stunning first book in the Saints & Sinners series by Ruby Vincent. The story follows Adeline, a young chef who gets caught up in some trouble and sees something she shouldn’t… The Merchant’s delivering justice. She does what every sensible person would…she runs, only to find herself in the crosshairs of the Merchants and finding out that they will do everything they can to keep her, even bring them into their world.

This book is a fast-paced, slow burn, mentally twisting read with some great characters Not only do we have Adeline who is a feisty, strong female lead (with secrets of her own), we are also introduced to Saint, Brutal, Mercer and Cash. Although this book has the other guys in, we definitely see more of Saint and his eccentricities. The man is straight up crazy, which also calls to Adeline’s dark little heart! The dual POV’s also let us get into the minds of these characters more and they are certainly a little messed up. Saint is one of those blue haired, crazy characters that you want to keep reading more about, as you want to know what makes him tick and at this moment in time, it is definitely Adeline. He sees the darkness in her and is just coaxing it to come into a full burn.

This book is definitely complex, dangerous, sexy and a page turner. You are kept guessing about what is going to happen and who is going to  be in the middle of it. It has some great and refreshing characters as well as an epic cliff-hanger (I didn’t see that coming!) and can definitely class itself as a dark read. At the end of the book , you’re left wondering who you’re going to trust and whether you need to buckle up and hold on as the ride is just going to get bumpier!

Review: Code Name: Hacker - Sawyer Bennett

Code Name: Hacker by Sawyer Bennett
My rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars

Code Name: Hacker is book 4 in the Jameson Force Security Series by Sawyer Bennett and boy is it a page turner! The story focuses on Bebe Grimshaw, a woman who has paid for her crimes and is trying to put her life back together so that she can spend time with her son and mum, but the past is trying to catch up with her. Enter Griff, a tough looking biker who is playing a game of deception with Bebe stuck right in the middle.

This was a really good read with a lot of twist and turns and a really strong female lead. Bebe has been through a lot, but she isn’t going to stop living her life, even though she may question it a dew times Her relationship with Griff is steamy, even when things come to light and she has a great family in the Jameson team…especially that of her partner who always has her back. Griff is also a great character in the book. He knows his mind and although he has some difficult decisions to make, he does make the right one! He is sweet when he needs to be and tough when things are getting twisted up and is a great addition to Bebe and her family.

I really enjoyed the story that went with this book and how everyone fit together like a jigsaw. I hadn’t read any of the other books in this series, but it may have helped when it came to understanding who characters were, and this book definitely pushed me to start from the beginning.

This was a really great romantic suspense and I can’t wait to read more!
