I know I’m twisted. Growing up in a perfectly well-adjusted home, I don’t really have
an excuse. But no matter… I realize how messed up I am. And therapy can only do so
much.

I pushed my boyfriend to violence, a violence he couldn't control. Sickly, I almost liked
it. So I pushed him more. Before long, the pain outweighed the pleasure and the loss
I sustained shattered me. So I ran. I’m now a bit shell-shocked harboring a lot of guilt.

My boyfriend is now my ex and wants revenge. He wants me to pay for turning him into
the monster he’s become. And I still have a deviant yearning that I don’t understand. My
own monster inside… my own demon to battle.

I can’t get close to anyone. I can’t give in and scratch that itch. I can’t wreck someone
And now there is Kian… my rescuer on a dark, painful night. He sees through my
pretense. He tries to pull me from my frightened isolation, to keep me from becoming a
victim. He forces me to face my warped desires and shows me that pain doesn’t really
have to truly hurt.

He wants to show me a way to serenity. But I am afraid… Will I ruin a good man?

Beginning at about age 12, Sibylla discovered historical romance, feeding off of work of Jude Deveraux & Lisa Kleypas. She loves a book that can make the reader run the gamut of emotions, from the sweet glow of new love to gut-wrenching heartache. She is a true romantic & always has stories floating around in her head, living in a fantasyland until she writes them down to free them.
Music is her emotional trigger. Growing up with a Wagnarian-loving mother, Sibylla was raised to treasure music that digs deep into the psyche, drawing out elation, sorrow, grief, desire. The soundtrack to her life includes many genres spanning centuries. She looooooooves Thirty Seconds to Mars (ratherobsessively, actually... but, really, how can you NOT be crazy about this guy!? Jared Leto. Shhh.</ strong>) & pimps them out to all her friends through Spotify. She also delights in Met HD broadcasts at her local movie theater & hopes (listening Met?) to someday see Diana Damrau reprise her role as Mozart’s Queen of the Night in Die Zauberflöte.

Sibylla lives with her husband and hero who saved her from her own calamitous, young-adult self.
He makes her laugh daily, even when things are tough. He's proved to her that love really can heal a
shattered soul. In 18 years, they have never had a fight, although argue regularly with their two teenage
kids who have, unfortunately, inherited their father’s quick wit (unfortunate as it is a quick wit that
Sibylla, herself, definitely does not possess – there is a reason she is a writer & not a stand-up
comedian). They live a quiet life with their two weird little rescued Chiweenies. Wait… teenagers & little yap-dogs? OK, maybe not so quiet.

There's a light at the end of the tunnel and it has bad boy rockstar written all over it. That's something
But West is a part of rock'n'roll band, Affliction. Taking Blair on tour was his idea of heaven, but his time is in high demand and trying to be with her isn't working out as well as he'd hoped.

For Blair, being on the road with one of the most notorious bands in rock is a new kind of messed up.
she can work for. Something that makes her believe again. One she's not sure is for her…even with West in her bed. Jake West has kickstarted her heart, but who will be the one to smash it apart?

Review:
Unexplainable by Amity Cross
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

ARC kindly provided by in exchange for a fair and honest review. Spoiler-free review. 4.00 stars. Cliffhanger.

Blair and West hit the road on a 50 stop international tour. Blair packs up the few things she owns including a truckload of emotional baggage and decides to give West a chance.  West manages to break down the hardened shell she has built around her heart.   Their relationship goes from lust to must, and these two can’t get enough on each other.  Life on the road is not a 24/7 party for rocks new “it” couple.  West is still battling addictions, and Blair is starting to get tired of dealing with groupie sluts and the bands' ass clown band manager. Can West and Blair learn to trust? Is Blair just Wests' latest addiction?

What a kick ass second book from newbie Aussie author Amity Cross. I'm so happy that I stumbled upon this hidden gem. Book two exceeded my expectations. I was a little bummed that there's a cliffhanger...but I have to say I'm over it. I'm looking forward to reading the next installment in this sexy, dysfunctional rock and roll tale of the heart.

I love Molly McAdams and Tyler Seielstad might be my new favorite photographer. Check out my review & author giveaway.  Don't forget to check out Molly's inspiration for Coen...web site info in my review.  You do not want to miss this.
Capturing Peace Synopsis:
Coen Steele has spent the last five years serving his country. Now that he's back, he's finally ready to leave behind the chaos of the battlefield and pursue his lifelong dream. What he wasn't expecting was the feisty sister of one of his battle buddies—who has made it obvious that she wants nothing to do with him—to intrigue him in a way no woman has before.

Reagan Hudson's life changed in the blink of an eye six years ago when she found out she was pregnant and on her own. Since then, Reagan has vowed never to let another man into her life so that no one can walk out on her, or her son, again. But the more she runs into her brother's hot and mysterious friend, the more he sparks something in her that she promised herself she wouldn't feel again.

Can two people with everything to lose allow themselves to finally capture the love they both deserve?

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

PLEASE VISIT THIS SITE – www.mollysmcadams.com/capturing-peace....  Molly’s friend Tyler Seielstads photos were the inspiration to write *his* story.  Go check out the “real” Coen!   Tyler is pretty talented.

ARC kindly provided by the author in exchange for a fair and honest review. Spoiler-free review. No cliffhanger. 4.0 stars. HEA.  Part of a series but can be enjoyed as a standalone.

Reagan gets pregnant at 16.  Her boyfriend wants nothing to do with being a teenage baby daddy and kicks her to the curb.  Reagan is close to her family, and she leans on them instead of her sons’ absentee dad. Reagan is fiercely independent, and a single mom completely devoted to her six year old son. Reagan swears off men and relationships.  She refuses to get hurt by another man.  Reagan ends up meeting Coen, her brothers’ hot friend that he met in the army.  Coen just got out of the service and is pursuing his dream of owning his own photography studio.  He is plagued with flashbacks and stress from horrific incidents that happened when he was a POW.  Coen does not feel he deserves to be happy. Reagan believes she is better off on her own. Can the two find peace and love?

Overall I liked Capturing Peace.  I liked it the way Reagan and Coens' connection built up. They did not have the insta-love thing going on…and the plots pace worked for these two emotionally guarded people.  Reagan was a solid character.  She was such a strong and smart character.  Coen is every single moms dream man. I know this was a novella (but I wanted more).    I liked these two characters, and I’m looking forward to reading the rest of the Sharing You series. I have to say it was pretty cool to have a hero that wasn’t the stereotypical typical black-blond/ hair and green/blue eyes.  Go one click this one!

About Molly:
Molly grew up in California but now lives in the oh-so-amazing state of Texas with her husband and furry four-legged daughters. When she's not diving into the world of her characters, some of her hobbies include hiking, snowboarding, traveling, and long walks on the beach … which roughly translates to being a homebody with her hubby and dishing out movie quotes. She has a weakness for crude-humored movies, fried pickles and loves curling up in a fluffy comforter during a thunderstorm ... or under one in a bathtub if there are tornados. That way she can pretend they aren't really happening.
