Ruby Lee loves Ryan and desperately wants to help him. She’ll do whatever she must to see him through this troubling time, but her own shrouded past still haunts her, and she’s determined to put an end to both of their mysteries once and for all.

5 star Review by Kristie K

Twisted will leave you tied up in knots, from your heartstrings to your g-string, this phenomenal book lives up to its name…

The incredible Steel Brothers Saga continues with the eighth instalment, featuring the continuing tale of youngest brother Ryan Steel, and police detective Ruby Lee. Connected by so much more than their sexual chemistry, and the family secrets that are inextricably woven together, Ryan and Ruby have found the most elusive connection of all…love. Neither one is sure what the future holds, or what secrets may pop up to try and tear apart their fragile worlds, but they know they have something incredible together and they are willing to fight for it. The twisted tale of deceit, lies, and terror that surrounds them continues to grow and take on new life, with more twisted tentacles of truth and horror coming to light even as their need for each other grows.

This series has gripped me from the very beginning, and has captivated me even more with each new chapter Ms. Hardt delivers. The tangled web of lies, danger, horror, and evil that this incredible author has woven with this series is unlike any other series I have read. Just when you think it can’t get any worse (or better), the intensity level is kicked up twelve more notches, and you find yourself teetering on the edge of your seat ready to slide off the edge into oblivion. There can be so much beauty found in the broken, and Ms. Hardt presents that with startling clarity in this chapter of this incredible series. I am absolutely salivating over the arrival of the next instalment.

Tara - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Love is tricky. Sometimes it unexpectedly finds you, while other times it is ripped away from you too soon. Unfortunately in the world of love, there is no happy medium. You just have to jump in with two feet and see what adventure it takes you on.

“The tender, needy, memorable kiss would stay with her, and be the one against which all future kisses would be measured.”

Noelle is a self proclaimed love addict. She believes that everyone should experience the magic of love, even though she has never experienced it herself. Tainted by blurry memories of her past, Noelle wants to prove that she is better than those memories.

When Ethan and Noelle’s lives collide one snowy night, Ethan’s past and its memories are put to the test when he realizes that he hasn’t truly been living his life. Guilt and a broken heart have steered Ethan off course, and he is unsure if he can brought back to the land of the living. Can Noelle bring Ethan back to life? Can Ethan show Noelle what her real dreams really are?

“He wasn’t a jerk. He was a generous man, yet complex. The kind of man she could spend a lifetime getting to know, and enjoying every moment of it-yet for some reason she couldn’t quite trust her heart.”

I truly loved this book. As part of the Elkridge series, Lyz has included past characters with two new ones. The main characters in Unmistaken are both strong willed, yet vulnerable when they are around each other. Mix that with a fantastic story, Unmistaken is a great read. As all her other books, Lyz really writes from the heart. Filled with love, heartbreak, new beginnings and a bit of Christmas magic, Unmistaken will make your heart feel good!

“At the moment, in his arms, her whole life became comfortable, perfect-even a little predictable. She surprised herself by thinking it felt wonderful.”

Why would I want to read the Elkridge Series? Each book in the Elkridge series is a piece to a puzzle—a suspenseful mystery involving the murder of a small-town sheriff. You get six contemporary romance books to figure out the mystery and a bunch of happy ever after (HEA) endings. Two novels in this fiction series—Blinded and Orphaned—are award-winning romance books.

Where is Elkridge, Colorado? Elkridge exists only in my mind. On any given day, I can stop at River Creek Café for Jenna's fresh baked cinnamon rolls, or shop for a birthday present at Mara's Blooms, or get my nails done at Kym’s nail salon. Sitting in the park eating lunch, I can watch the kids play and hear the latest gossip from neighbors. Later, if I want, I can stop at Mad Jack’s to hear a local band play and get some dinner. Elkridge is a great small town where the sun shines 360 days a year and people do their best to make ends meet.

Would you tell us about your writing process? It takes me awhile to write each stand-alone story because I am passionate about creating the very best stories for my readers. These contemporary romance books have complex plots and sub-plots and include suspense romance threads, with deep emotional women’s fiction elements, humor and even a bit of quirkiness. I’m so excited to see the 5-star ratings because it means I’ve created the ideal mix to provide readers with a few hours of enjoyment.

Saved (Honor Bound Series #1)

by Angel Payne.

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Released 19th December

Synopsis

Saved

He saved her life…she saved his soul.

Garrett Hawkins is the most valuable asset to his Special Forces unit, because, frankly, the guy doesn’t care if he lives or dies anymore. Since the love of his life, Sage Weston, was kidnapped and killed with her medical unit a year ago, Garrett has turned the shell of his soul into the armor of a finely tuned fighting machine. Being the first tapped for the unit’s craziest missions is just fine by him. The less time for memories and the agony they carve into his soul, the better.

It’s a plan that works, until Garrett’s world is upended one night in the jungles of Thailand. Memories become reality when the unit is called to rescue a group of kidnapped aid workers, and they discover Sage and her teammate among the retrieved women. Now that Sage is back in his arms, Garrett doesn’t know what to do. He has changed in dramatic ways, especially in the darker tastes of his passion. If he touches Sage again, he’ll want to claim her, restrain her...dominate her.

Is Sage’s love strong enough to let Garrett back in, not only as her fiancé but her Dominant? Can she trust that visiting the new shadows of his life will lead her to ecstasy and not ruin? Or can Garrett’s discipline be exactly what her soul needs to find its way back to life—and love—again?

ON SALE - 99p/$1.33

Synopsis:

Four times a night, I’d wake to kiss her to make sure she was still with me, and every time I brushed my lips to hers, she sighed softly and smiled in her sleep, making me feel more content than I'd ever felt in my life. My first loves had been removed from that special place in my heart, meaning she had full ownership of my mind, my love, and most importantly, my body.

Happiness became my new best friend, no matter how much I refused to believe it. Everything made me feel alive. Everything shone so damn bright with my personal sunshine walking beside me.

But happiness is always temporary. The girl the whole world wanted now only wanted me.

We didn’t know that our new lives together would lure out the snakes from our pasts. Our futures were no longer certain, but I wasn’t willing to give up on her. On us.

Not all men are like me. I’m Marcus goddamn Anderson.

The damaged. The healed. The lover. The one who never quits.

Meet The Author:

Victoria L James is a teenage girl stuck in a thirty-something year-olds body. Living somewhere 'oop north' in England, she has had a strong passion for words and stories going as far back as she can remember, which she credits to her grandmother and her love of reading anything that was on sale and cheap from the local market stall. Never once did she think she would release a novel, though. At best, she thought her love of language and her ability to create stories in her mind would provide her with a 'get out of jail free' card whenever she messed up and her parents were mad at her during her teenage years... and when even that didn't work out, she thought she was pretty much done for.

When an opportunity presented itself for her to take a back seat from paid working life for a few years, she knew straight away that she had to try and write about a few of these worlds she'd come up with along the way, and quieten all the voices in her head without racking up a heavy psychiatry bill for the pleasure.

Wearing her heart on her sleeve and trying to lighten her friends’ and family’s lives with naff, and more often than not, badly timed, nineties jokes, she has yet to learn the art of knowing when to shut up. Which is another reason writing became a passion of hers. With pen and paper, there are no limits.

A firm believer in never quitting, with a ridiculous obsession for all things Rocky, she hopes that one day she writes a story that will inspire at least one person out there to keep on going if they're struggling. Other than that, she's just a regular old converse wearing, corona sipping, English version of Chandler Bing, who loves and adores her family more than life itself. Oh, and she also has two cats. Every writer has to mention their cats, right?

Excerpt

Prologue

I knew the moment I heard the words slip from the man in uniform that my world would be turned upside down. Shattered. Everything ended that dreadful day, including my will to live.

***

I throw myself over the casket after the preacher spoke words of peace and light. I grip the hard wood, bawling, refusing to let them sink this box to the bottom of that hole. No one attempts to stop me. They all watch in sorrow as I yell, asking God why.

I finally feel my father and Josh’s father pull me away. They hand me the folded flag—the tainted reminder of all that is left of him.

I stand in shock as they lower his body and cover him in dirt. I stare numbly at the mound of earth that now separates us. I will never see him again. I will never hear him again. Everything is destroyed.

“We’ll take you home,” my mother says, but I shake my head. “Bri, it would be best if you left. Let’s eat something.”

Turning to her, eyes void of emotion, I say, “Take me home and leave me there. I want to be alone.”

In the silence of the car, they respect my wishes. I hold on to that flag as if it were Josh I was holding.

“I want to be alone,” I tell them as they pull into the driveway before they choose to come inside with me.

“But—”

“No, mom. Not today.” I get out of the car; the black of my dress feels heavy as I drag with me the darkness this day has brought. It’s real. As if I would somehow wake up and have dreamt the visit the officer and chaplain made not too long ago.

As the door closes behind me, I lean against it—white contrasting to my black— and stare at this home. I calmly put the flag down on the console table. I walk a few steps in, grab the lamp and strike it onto the floor. I sweep my arms across the small table in the living room, causing everything on it to fall and break. The metal dish clings against the tile.

“Ahhh!” My throat hurts from the exertion. I yell again and again until I’m sore. I shatter the vase with flowers my friends sent me. Water pours from the broken glass as the roses attempt to soak up the last bit. I walk to them and stomp them with my heel. They can’t live if he’s dead.

I can’t live if he’s dead. I can’t live. I can’t.

I fall onto my knees, the tears a common emotion for me, and look up at the heavens. “I only have one question, God; why’d you bring him to me to steal him away?”

With that, I curl into my side and lose myself.
