Reader Reviews of the First Three Books:
“Edwards has a way of conveying her character’s personality more through their actions or anecdotes then a drawn out description, following that old saying, actions speak louder than words.”
“I loved this story, the writing was clean, it flowed naturally between the changes in time, and you can tell every word held purpose. I CAN’T wait to read the next volume and see where this story will go!”
“Very fast and intriguing read.”
“Uniquely written, suspenseful and intriguing are but a few words to describe this serial story from Scarlet Edwards.”

The queen of dark and twisted has put her first book on sale.  Check out Captive in the Dark (The Dark Duet Book #1) by CJ Roberts.  Go #oneclick this one now. This book blew my mind....

When an accident claims her mother’s life, Keahilani Alana must take charge of her family or risk losing what little they have. With an underage brother to care for and no education, she has few options. The door to a heavenly hellish opportunity opens when she stumbles upon a valuable secret her mother left behind on the slopes of an extinct volcano—a legacy that tempts the family with riches beyond their wildest dreams. But the secret is much bigger and more sinister than they realize. As reality unravels and exposes eerie truths about the siblings that should have remained deep under the mountain, Keahilani must either resist the call of her blood or risk being consumed by its darkness.

Blake Murphy is an assassin working to infiltrate a new Hawaiian cartel. His investigation reveals that Keahilani, the sexy surfing instructor he pegged as an informant, is much closer to the drug ring than he thought. Passion ignites between them in the bedroom, but their ironclad ties to opposing interests pit them against each other everywhere else.

When tensions reach the breaking point and her family is threatened, the only cure for Keahilani’s hot-blooded fury is a loaded clip with a body bag chaser.

* HOT-BLOODED is a suspense/thriller that contains drug use and graphic sex, language, and violence. The story is intended to entertain, not to condone or glorify illegal or immoral activities. This book is unsuitable for sensitive readers and those under the age of 18.

:::::SYNOPSIS:::::

Blake:

I am a brother

I am a police detective

I am a contract killer

I don’t want to love

I don’t want to feel

I don’t want … EMPATHY.

They say some people are born with decreased activity in the front central lobe causing them a deficiency in empathy. Maybe that’s true about me but whether I was born this way or created in a moment of evil, empathy was something I didn’t possess until her green eyes met mine in the mirror and I couldn't take her life.

I didn't want to feel, didn’t want this woman in my life complicating how I lived but she was there at every turn. Sent to haunt me for my sins. Her light so bright she provoked a shadow from everyone she touched. When a job turns bad quickly altering my life forever I’m forced to feel. When nothing is making sense I’m forced to face truths I never would recover from. When life drowns you in its cruelty you don’t know which way the current will drag you or who you’ll become once you re-surface.

Melody:

I was a daughter

I was a student

I was a victim

Did I have his love?

Did I make him feel?

Did I have his empathy?

When the actions of a soulless killer forces sorrow into my veins I never dreamed the man healing my wounds would be the one to leave the worst scar. His love would scar my soul. Scars are permanent; I will never feel the relief from them. Will I learn to live with them, remember why I have them and learn never to let him close enough to inflict more? Will I eventually cover them… like tattoos coating them with new memories, new love and new starts? I didn’t know these answers because the pain was too suffocating, the only thing I knew was they will always be under the surface lingering. He had scars too, from his sins. There is nothing that can cover them, they were too deep, too ugly, too dark and they marked us both forever.

:::::AUTHOR BIO:::::
I have always had a passion for storytelling, whether it be through lyrics or bed time stories with my sisters. I wanted to be an actress growing up so I could live many roles but I learned early on that my mind was too active... I would want to change the script.I would watch films and think of ways they could of improved the story if they took another direction so i thought it best that i tell my own.

My mum would always have a book in her hand when I was young and passed on her love for reading, inspiring me to venture into writing my own. I tend to have a darker edge to my writing. Not all love stories are made from light, some are created in darkness but are just as powerful and worth telling.

When I'm not lost in the world of characters I love spending time with my family. I'm a mum and that comes first in my life but when I do get down time I love attending music concerts or reading events with my younger sister.

You can find me on Facebook where i love interacting with my readers.

I play the role well.
The grieving widow is new, but I can do it: shaking hands, sad smiles, even a tear or two when necessary.
The acting isn't new. I've been doing it my whole life.
The truth is too painful to reveal, too upsetting for those around me. They don't want to see who I truly am... what I truly am. 

They don't want to know I'm a killer.

There is a love so fierce it cannot be measured.
A heart so strong it will never slow.
There is a promise so sure it can never lie.
He promised me that love forever.
Even when it wasn’t enough.

-CAMERON-
Forever. Everlasting. Eternal.
There is no measure of time.
No sounds of the ticking of a clock.
Just the rising and falling of the sun.
And our own sense of forever.

But our forever isn’t always.

Spoiler-Free review

I decided I won a book lottery. It’s that feeling that when you pick up a book by one of your all-time favorite authors and pray it's going to be a winner. More Than Forever is a winner…and I hit the book jackpot.

How is it possible that this series keeps getting better and better? I have found that the majorly of multi-book series just feel drawn out, or written about secondary characters that were just meh. Then there is the More series. This series is literally “unputabledownable.” The only other time I felt so emotional about characters in a book was from reading Colleen Hoover's books.

I'm not going to get into this book's plot...you need to read it for yourself. I refuse to spoil your emotional journey. I will tell you that if you are a More series/JMac fan you already know that this book is mandatory reading. There were times while I was reading this book I wondered how the hell Lucy managed to cry so much.  Then I started to wonder about myself. Ugh...hello? Look at the tear stains on your face that resemble a melted ice luge. This book and this writer just take my breath away. That is all.

Synopsis:
Everything done in darkness, will eventually be brought into the light.
I ran, but all it did was keep me one step ahead of my past. I tried to start over; new name, new identity. But you can't change your soul.
A fresh start at college was just what I needed. For a while, it worked. I was the party girl, the one that seemed confident, but it was a lie.
When guys kissed me--I felt only pain. 
When they touched me--Nothing but fear.
Deep inside, every girl wants to be the beauty in the story, to find someone that will see you as their world. 
But the truth? I was the beast. And as much as I wanted redemption, I wasn't fool enough to think I'd ever get it. 
Until he walked into my life.
I wasn't prepared to fall for someone. My scars were too deep, the wounds too raw. But he offered me peace, he offered me security. I should have known it was just another lie--I should have known that falling in love with my professor was a bad idea.
But I was powerless to stop myself from falling. 
And he was powerless to catch me.
Because the darkness finally caught up to me, and as fate would have it, a cruel twist almost bled me dry. But I'm stronger than I knew. I'm stronger than you think.
You think you know my story, but you don't....after all everyone has Shame in their lives-- and I'm no longer afraid to show you mine.

Review of Shame
Shame by Rachel Van Dyken

Title:  Shame
Author: Rachel Van Dyken
Series: Yes
Release Date: October 5, 2014
Rating: 4.50 stars
Cliffhanger: No
Spoiler-free review

I have heard amazing things about the Ruin series for so long…so when I heard that the third book in this series can be read as a standalone I jumped at the chance.  I am not going to regurgitate the synopsis…but I will top-line it.
Lisa was in a toxic and dysfunctional relationship with Taylor and is manipulated to do some horrible things.  Even after his death, Taylor continues his twisted reign of terror to destroy Lisa.  Before he committed suicide he mailed two copies of his terrifying tell-all journal.  One of the copies lands in the hands of his step brother Tristan.  Tristan, who is hell bent on destroying the woman who ruined his brother’s life, takes a job as a professor at Lisa’s college.  He ends up falling for the Lisa after a chance meeting at a party.  Lisa is miserable knowing that she has a shameful past and afraid of what her new boyfriend/professor would think of her. Meanwhile, she has a stalker and her friends might not be able to protect her.  Everything isn’t always what it seems and when Lisa’s shameful past and present collide,  her life will never be the same.

I really enjoyed this book and was captivated from the first page to the last.  I will admit that I felt a little lost not knowing each of the character’s backstory/relationships.   Rachel did a great job highlighting some key back story point, but I think I would have embraced the characters a little more if I read the first two books beforehand.  With that said…Shame was still an addicting read. I loved the way this story unraveled via Taylor’s twisted journal entries. We got a peek inside the diary of a mad man.  Shame is loaded with a great mix of mystery, suspense and drama.  There were a few times I wanted to smack Lisa for not seeing what was right in front of her.  I think that’s how the author wanted the reader to feel and it led to an awesome plot twist/ending!  Shame is a must read for Ruin series fans. After reading Shame, I am even more excited to read the first two books in this series.

Top Ten Wes Michels Rules to Live By: 
10. When things become difficult--thats when breakthrough happens. Do the hard thing. 
9. Choose to smile...it's easier to frown. 
8. Each day, write down one thing you can do to help someone around you. 
7. Think big, act small. It doesn't take a life altering idea to change the world around you. 
6. If you don't have money--time is a good currency. Invest it in what matters, like people, your education, etc. Don't waste it by complaining about things that you won't even remember come next week. 
5. Think positive. Focusing on the negative gives the bad things in your life power--refuse to give negativity power. 
4. Be restless. Don't sit. While you're watching TV someone else is out there curing cancer, that someone could be you. 
3. Find peace in the small things, like your morning cup of coffee or the rain. Stop and listen, think, be aware of who you are and who the world is to you. 
2. There is always tomorrow. If you fail today, the world will not end, just make an effort to succeed tomorrow, and if you fail again, repeat the process. The biggest failures in life turn into the greatest successes. 
1. Live courageously and without fear. Fear is the absence of faith, faith should be what drives you to believe in the impossible and succeed where others have failed. 

Shame is live on Amazon and only $.99 for the first two days.  I read Shame and loved it. Look for my review later this week.

TWIST ME (Twist Me, #1)

Kidnapped. Taken to a private island. 

I never thought this could happen to me. I never imagined one chance meeting on the eve of my eighteenth birthday could change my life so completely. 

Now I belong to him. To Julian. To a man who is as ruthless as he is beautiful—a man whose touch makes me burn. A man whose tenderness I find more devastating than his cruelty. 

My captor is an enigma. I don’t know who he is or why he took me. There is a darkness inside him—a darkness that scares me even as it draws me in. 

My name is Nora Leston, and this is my story.
