BOOK BLURB:  
The lines we once crossed so easily have widened and torn us apart…

Once upon a time I thought Finn and I would live happily ever after, but real life doesn't always have a happy ending. He's testing my trust, and I'm losing faith in the man I thought I'd spend the rest of my life with, and there’s nothing I do can stop it. He’s the one I trusted to keep me safe, but now he’s the source of my greatest pain…

Forgiveness is fragile, and some fractures never fully heal...

One mistake—a slip in a moment of weakness—might cost me everything I've worked so hard for. The thing about trust is that it's a lot easier to lose than it is to build. Just as I'm about to give up and surrender to the demons from my past, an unexpected threat reminds me what I'm best at: protecting the woman I love. Whether or not she wants me, I will fight for Carrie and our daughter, and I will keep them safe—no matter the cost.

Even if I have to put my life and my heart on the line.

SYNOPSIS:

Right now, you're probably asking yourself two things: Who am I? And, what the hell are you doing here? Let's start with the most obvious question, shall we?

You're here, ladies, because you can't f*ck.

Oh, stop it. Don't cringe. No one under the age of 80 clutches their pearls. You might as well get used to it, because for the next six weeks, you're going to hear that word a lot. And you're going to say it a lot. Go ahead, try it out on your tongue. F*ck. F***ck. Ok, good. Now where were we? If you enrolled yourself in this program then you are wholly aware that you're a lousy lay. Good for you. Admitting it is half the battle. For those of you that have been sent here by your husband or significant other, dry your tears and get over it. You've been given a gift, ladies. The gift of mind-blowing, wall-climbing, multiple-orgasm-inducing sex. You have the opportunity to f*ck like a porn star. And I guarantee, you will when I'm done with you.

And who am I? Well, for the next six weeks, I will be your lover, your teacher, your best friend, and your worst enemy. Your every-f*cking-thing. I'm the one who is going to save your relationship and your sex life.

I am Justice Drake.

And I turn housewives into whores. Now...who's first?

Synopsis:
You met Ryder Richardson in Being Sawyer Knight. Now, this is his story.

I’ve done it. I’ve stuck a whopping two fingers up at my parents, I’ve made a name for myself as one of the world’s biggest porn stars and I’ve finally found a family I belong in.

Life is amazing. I get paid to do all my favourite things. Fuck. Party. Travel the world. What’s not to love?

And then he comes along. Mason George – Back Door Studio’s newest exclusive model and the guy who has the potential to either fuck it all up, or take me on the best ride of my life.

~ Ryder

I’m desperate. I’ve got nothing and nobody left. Entering the daunting world of adult entertainment is less of a dream and more of a necessity. Signing as Back Door Studio’s latest model has the ability to either ruin or make me, but I made a vow at my first audition never to let myself regret it.

I continue to question myself each day, but no amount of whats, whys or what ifs will change where I am or where I’m heading. Am I strong enough to do this? To embrace it? To enjoy it? I have no idea.

The only thing I’m certain of, is that if anyone can teach me who I’m supposed to be, it’s Ryder Richardson.

~ Mason

“Because the most exciting things in life always happen via the back door”

(M/M erotic romance. Not suitable for under 18's due to language and explicit sexual situations. *Trigger warning* This book contains scenes of self harm which may act as a trigger for people experiencing similar issues.)

Meet the Author:

I live in Rochdale, England with my wonderful family and when I'm not playing with my imaginary friends I can usually be found looking after my four adorable (sometimes!) children (six if you include the dogs, seven if you include the hubby!) or studying towards my English Literature degree.

All in all I'm just an ordinary mum with an addiction to reading about hot book guys, writing about hot book guys and Pepsi Max! Oh, and if my kids ever ask... I moonlight as the Pink Power Ranger

Review of Taming Ryder
Taming Ryder by Nicola Haken
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Title:  Taming Ryder (Souls of the Knight #2)
Author: Nicola Haken
Series: Yes
Release Date: September 29th, 2014
Rating: 4.50 - 5.00 stars
Cliffhanger: No
Spoiler-free review

It's official I am a Nicola Haken fan.  I really liked Being Sawyer Knight (Souls of the Knight #1) and Taming Ryder (Souls of the Knight #2) blew me away.

Ryder Richardson is effed up. He is drinks way to much, abuses his mind and body with drugs and cutting. Ryder is a porn star, model and hair stylist with a hard-partying past. He meets Mason George, and his world is turned upside down.

Mason is sweet, sexy and stable.  He also happens to be Back Door Studios newest porn star and Ryder’s new co-worker. They become fast friends and roommates. Ryder starts to slowly lets Ryder into his heart...but will his past finally come back to haunt him?  Can true love save the day?

This second installment in the Souls of the Knight series picked up where BSK left off. Nicola did a fabulous job developing the characters and story line.  Ryder’s depression issues and heartbreaking past were very so intense and raw. Then there was the plot twist I didn’t see coming.  The WORST PARENTS EVER award goes to Mr. & Mrs. Richardson.

The secondary character show stealer is Matt. OMG is he was a heart attack!  I can't wait for Matt’s story. It will be auto-downloaded. Just send me the pre-order link now.

There is a promise so sure it can never lie.
He promised me that love forever.

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.

FALL WITH ME Synopsis:

Eleven months ago, bartender and weird-shirt-wearing extraordinaire Roxy and Officer Reece Anders had a one night stand. Well, kind of. She’s been in love with him since she was fifteen, and he wishes that night they shared never happened. She’s sworn him off forever, but the past and future collide, forcing her to rely on the one man who broke her heart not once, but twice.

Her best friend since birth has been in a long-term care facility since he became a victim of a hate crime years ago, and the person who put him in there is out of prison and wanting to make amends with him and Roxy. She’s not sure she has room for forgiveness in her and when she begins to receive frightening messages and is on the receiving end of escalating violence, she thinks she knows who is to blame. The man who already destroyed one life already.

But Reece isn’t convinced. The threats are too personal, and even if Roxy doesn’t believe him, he’s not willing to let anyone hurt her. Including himself. He’s already messed up more than once when it comes to Roxy and he’s not going to let history repeat itself.
