Prologue

I’m not a good man.
I’m not a bad man.
But I made some bad mistakes, made the wrong choices. Who hasn’t? But the consequences are tearing us apart.
I love two people.
I love them differently.
The world tells me I have to choose. Why?
Why do I have to choose?
Love makes you soar, makes you fly and sets you free—and then it lets you freefall until you’re smashed and bleeding on the ground.
Ultimately, love is the worst thing that can happen to a human being.
In my opinion.
I loved two people.
I loved them differently.
One was a man.
One was a woman.
And I never wanted to hurt anyone, least of all the two people who mean more to me than anyone else in the world.
Love isn’t supposed to be that hard.

It started with a note.

Luka,
Thanks for last night. Kind of awkward. LOL But don’t worry about it. I have to go and catch my plane, so I’ll see you in three months!!
This is the address for the party I mentioned: 187b Bishops Avenue. You should go—Becky’s parties are always amazing.
Love ya!
Sarah x

There was no reason on earth for me to think that this simple message would change my life. Or fuck it up. Depending on your point of view.
But it did.

♫♪ ♫♪ ♫♪  ♫  ♫ ♪  ♫  ♫ ♪♫♪

Blurb

They call me Rage.
My real name is like a shadow, always close behind, but never quite able to catch up.
I fly under the radar because no one ever suspects I’m capable of the kind of brutal violence I commit each and every day. 
You see, I’m a girl. I’m nineteen. 
And I'm a killer. 
This life is all I know. It s all I want to know. It keeps the s**t buried that I need kept buried. It allows me to live without thinking too much.
Without dwelling on the past.
Until him. 
It all changes when an ordinary boy becomes my next target. 
And my first love. 
I have to choose. 
The only life I ve ever known has to die, or he does. 
Either way, I ll be the one pulling the trigger... 
All the Rage is a STANDALONE

Prologue

It was once said that if you love someone enough you should let them go.  If they come back to you, they were always meant to be yours.  
It's kind of bullshit.
My story was a little different than most.  I was a little different than most.  
Because in my story, if you love someone enough, you should first drop the gun.

Rage
noun \ˈrāj\
Simple Definition of rage
: a strong feeling of anger that is difficult to control
: a sudden expression of violent anger
: something that is suddenly very popular

From the moment I met Rage in Soulless, I hoped she would get her own book. I always wondered how and why Rage became such a bad ass ninja Barbie. She was such a contradiction of beauty and brutality. We learn how Hope (aka Rage) was a pre-teen when her parents noticed that she was different. Along with her best friend Cody's help, she tried to mask her lack of empathy and dark thoughts from the world. Then one night, she accidentally stumbled on to her deadly career path and there was no turning back.

Rage meets Nolan, her latest babysitting assignment for a biker club and she starts to have feelings for the first time in her life. Her lady bits and heart come to life!!! Nolan is a dirty talking college hockey player who sets his sites on Rage. He embraces all the crazy and wants to make her his. That’s all I’m going to say because I’m not going to give the plot away.

This book had some crazy twists and turns that I didn't see coming. T.M.’s signature writing style makes Rage an incredible addition to the King series, but can be enjoyed as a stand alone. I would encourage you to read the other books in the King series; it’s one of my favorites! Rage was full of murder, mayhem, love and one of the most bad-assed heroines I have ever encountered! One click this one! I’m sure this book will be all the rage.

"As long as you’re not out there hopped up on the heroin or campaigning for Donald Trump, your father and I are content to live in ignorant bliss, because we know it means we can keep you in our lives.” I loved this line and had to share.

About the Author

T.M. (Tracey Marie) Frazier resides in sunny Southwest Florida with her husband and three feisty fur kids. 

She attended Florida Gulf Coast University where she specialized in public speaking. After years working in real estate and new home construction, she decided it was finally time to stop pushing her dreams to the back burner and pursue writing seriously. 

In the third grade she wrote her very first story about a lost hamster. It earned rave reviews from both her teacher and her parents.

It only took her twenty years to start the next one.
It will not be about hamsters.

REVIEW: When I Lied by Michelle Kemper Brownlow


Check out my review of this "catfish" rock romance!

SYNOPSIS:

When Kate created her sexy online persona, “Lexi,” she never expected the lies to spin so far out of control. But now one of the biggest rock stars in the world, the brilliant but damaged Oliver Walt, is in love with her, and revealing the truth means not only breaking her own heart but sending the musician into a tailspin from which he might never recover.

Lexi is just the sort of girl a dark and brooding rockstar like Oliver Walt would fall for. Beautiful. Wild. Fun. The only problem?

LEXI IS A LIE

Bookish Kate Green knew she needed to brush up on her social skills before her first year of college, so she created an online persona to chat and flirt. And who better to practice on than talented and tormented rock frontman Oliver Walt? After all, the lead singer of her favorite band would hardly notice one more adoring fan. Except…he does. And with a single private message, Kate’s world changes forever.

Then Oliver wants to meet in person. Kate knows she has to come clean, but things are never that easy, so instead she enlists the aid of her beautiful and calculating study partner…which turns out just the way you might expect. Now, with Gretchen refusing to stop being Lexi, the lies grow bigger by the hour—and so do the stakes. Kate’s heart and Oliver’s life.

 REVIEW:
When I LiedWhen I Lied by Michelle Kemper Brownlow
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
4.00 stars
Title: When I Lied
Author: Michelle Kemper Brownlow
Release Date: April 19, 2016
No cliffhanger

Kate is a college student who creates a new fake online profile and calls herself Lexi. Her fake profile her is everything that she isn’t: a flirtatious and fun-loving party girl. Lexi strikes up a relationship with Oliver, the lead singer of a popular British rock band. Lexi and Oliver form a “real” relationship and connect online. Oliver has a tremendous amount of trust issues and emotional baggage. He finally feels like he connected with someone that emotionally gets him. Oliver goes on tour in the US and insists on meeting Lexi IRL (in real life). She never thought they would actually meet when they starting texting. Lexi’s carefully constructed web of lies starts to unravel when Oliver falls for the wrong Lexi. What???? I’m not going to spoil this book for you.

Did you ever watch that Catfish show on MTV? “Catfishing" is when someone creates a fake online profile in order to trick people into a romantic type of relationship. This angsty catfish-style love triangle was unputdownable. I’m not going to lie this story was a little predictable, but I really enjoyed it! When I Lied puts an emotional spin of the dangers of lying on and offline!

AUTHOR BIO:

Michelle Kemper Brownlow likes her music loud and prefers live concerts but will happily settle for the eclectic playlists on her iPhone. This Penn State grad and former high school art teacher is easily distracted by colorful art supplies and Eddie Vedder's voice. When she's not in her studio writing, she can be found putting off housework for a good romance novel that has her heart pounding and tears flowing. She is married to her college sweetheart and is mom to three fantastic humans, a black lab, a tabby cat and a Chinchilla named Wodney.

EXCERPT:

“Oliver, I don’t know if it’s my place to say anything…” I stammered a little as I tried to find the right words.

“It’s okay, Kate. You can say anything to me. What is it? What’s bothering you?” He tilted his head like he always did. It melted me each time he did it.

“Oliver, just know that you have blessed my heart and my soul with who you are and the words you bring to life. Be careful not to cut your time short inspiring the world with your genius, too.” I didn’t know what else to say and worried I’d said too much. Tears pricked behind my eyes, still being held back from earlier in the evening.

“Kate! Why are you crying?” Oliver’s other hand lifted to my other cheek and he held my face close to his. 

“Oliver, there’s something I have to tell you.” Tears streamed from the corners of my eyes. The time had come. It needed to be done. It would break him but hopefully he could heal knowing I’d voluntarily set him free from the lie I’d created.

The limo’s horn blared and we both jumped. I sucked in a deep breath and wiped my face. Oliver’s hands gripped my bare arms.

“Come ON! Say good night already!” Gretchen’s voice had become like nails on a chalkboard and I’d have gotten great pleasure in ripping her throat wide open so I’d never have to hear it again.

“Lexi, you’re being rude. Please give us a moment.” Oliver actually rolled his eyes then turned back to me. I knew I didn’t have enough time to unleash the backstory of my lie before Gretchen would catapult herself from the limo and drag Oliver back inside.

Abort mission.

“It’s okay. I’m sorry, Oliver. I get weepy when I drink too much. It’s nothing. Go ahead. I don’t want you to have to deal with Lexi being pissed off for the rest of your evening.”

“You sure you’re okay?” He placed his hands on my bare neck and goose bumps rose across every square inch of me.

“Promise, I’m fine. Champagne makes me really intense.” I winked and turned and slid my ID through the security lock. The door clicked and I pulled it open. I wanted him to walk inside with me and not leave until morning.

“Sweet dreams, sweet Kate.”
