The Revenger by Debra Anastasia




Summary of The Revenger: 

The real hero of this story is dead. You should have met him. He was a beautiful man. The love of my life. I didn’t deserve him.

Now what’s left are the jagged edges of the person I am without him, and what I have to do to get by. This isn’t even a story about love. Not really. It’s a twisted tale of revenge and hate—a happily never after.

The only man in my life now is the one I have to kill. 
I’m Savvy Raine. 
I used to be a wife. 
I used to be a mother. 
Now I am the Revenger.


Excerpt #1


“What the hell are you?” He searched frantically for the door latch, his panic making him oblivious to the open top of the Jeep above him.
He didn’t deserve an answer, and he wouldn’t get one. Only in her head would she respond. She pulled him from the backseat and held him aloft, thinking, I’m a mom without a reason. I’m a person without a life. I’m dead with no escape.





Excerpt #2

There was very little chatter after the alarming phone call. Savvy looked at the clock. It was only five, but the extra help Tallow had enlisted acted like she was about to disintegrate. When they were finally done, they hung Savvy’s costume from a door, fully expecting her to drop trou in front of all the strangers.
She looked at the silver outfit meant to demean her and classify her as his, just like all his other favorites.
“Yeah, I’m not actually going to be wearing that.” She looked from one shocked person to the other.
Tallow recovered first. “But this is what he told you to wear!”
Savvy laughed hollowly. “Yeah, he can suck his own d*ck for all I care.”
The atmosphere changed. The others now realized Savvy didn’t think it was a huge honor to be a f*ckhole.
“That’s not acceptable. I’ll put you in it myself if I have to, but you’re leaving here in that outfit.” Tallow bravely gathered up the skirt and came into Savvy’s personal space. He obviously thought she was just a regular girl.
In an instant she’d lifted Tallow into the air by his neck. “I’m not wearing it.” She stared him down until he began to turn blue. Then she set him back on his feet.
Tallow was a quick learner and smoothed his fancy shirt. “Okay then, let me see what else we have.”

A story of love and hate and the depths one will go to bury heartbreak than runs deep.

“Blue,”―he paused to suck my nipple―“I need inside. I can’t take it. I need to be in you, baby.”

“Yes,” I spilled out in desperation.

Laying me right there on the couch, he lavished kisses on my neck, and the tip of his cock tickled my entrance. “Condom,” I managed to pant out through the lust his assault was creating.

I wasn’t ready to go there yet. I was not ready for the possibilities or repercussions of unprotected sex. I was on birth control, but that didn’t matter to me. No matter how careful or cautious a woman was about taking the pill or getting the shot, babies could still happen.

Cy exhaled a hot breath, leaning his forehead to mine. “Got it. I wonder what exactly it is about you that makes me forget my own goddam name.”

“Cy, my pussy is beating, and it’s begging for your cock. Go get the damn condom and fuck me into tomorrow already. Please,” I added as an afterthought. If he didn’t hurry, I would go searching for a vibrator if I had to. Never in my life had I been so sex starved.

He swooped down for a chaste kiss before running off to his room. “Don’t go anywhere,” he threw over his shoulder.

“Why would I go anywhere when you haven’t given me my damn orgasm yet?”

He laughed, shaking his head as he disappeared through his bedroom doorway.

Forty seconds later, he came back into view with a condom in place and string of them hanging from his hand. I couldn’t help but let my giggle escape.

Then he was over me, caging me between his arms and the couch with his cock right where I needed him. I dropped my knees to the sides, spread them as wide as I could and pulled his hips toward me. 

“Aren’t we a greedy girl tonight?” He chuckled. “But shit if I don’t think it is the hottest damn thing.”

Cy slammed into me hard and I screamed out, arching into him and pulling him impossibly closer. He set a gentle pace, which made my toes curl and a light sweat break out over my skin.

Murmurs of pleasure fell from my lips before I could stop them. My hips surged to meet his, silently asking him for harder, deeper. He obliged, and my screams escalated with each thrust. Stars and white lights, again. Damn, this man was good.

  WhenImWithYoufull  





WhenImWithYou_FrontCover_LoResNate: It’s nearly impossible to be surrounded by love but not understand it. My parents, my sister, and just about everyone around us has no trouble accepting that love. To give your trust to someone else and believe they would die before hurting you. I’ve witnessed it—I’ve seen the power of it—but I’ve also seen the pain. Because for me, I’ve only loved someone I could never have, and my biggest fear is that by giving her my love, all I would do is ruin her.

His infectious smile warms me straight to my bones. Any insecurities I have vanish with just a wink from him. A sliver of his attention makes me feel invincible. But all it took was one drunken night of truths for me to lose everything I had begun to crave. Now, I’m not sure how to move on because I only feel complete when I’m with him.   He said I was too young. I said he was perfect. He said our families wouldn’t understand.

Blog Tour: Choices by Michelle Lynn

BLOG TOUR
TITLE: CHOICES
AUTHOR: MICHELLE LYNN
RELEASE DATE JANUARY 25TH





Everyone makes lots of little decisions from the moment they wake up until they sink back into sleep at night. Decisions that have no consequences or expectations. But, what about the rare choices that could change everything? How do you know what is right for you?

Happiness is something you have to choose again and again, each day.
Michaela Matthews wants that more than anything. Standing in her way is a family pushing her down a specific path and the man she loves preventing her from choosing anything different. When she moves to the city for the next step in her parent’s plan, she starts to figure out what she wants - or more importantly, what she doesn’t want. She thinks she has to leave her old life behind to discover a new one. This throws every choice she has made into question. It isn’t until tragedy strikes that she learns that sometimes there is no choice at all. Sometimes you can have it all.

Jason Marks has had the kind of life where things have seemed to just happen to him, no choice involved at all. It’s a struggle for him to keep the past at bay while he tries to move forward. He is no longer the unwanted foster kid. He is a business owner, surrounded by people that love him. But, he isn’t in love. He’s not even sure he believes in it. Not anymore. At least, not until a heartbroken girl falls apart in his arms. It’s enough to make him a believer. Make him a dreamer. Enough to force him to answer that question. Do you give all of yourself to someone who might not choose you in return?
Yes. Yes, you do.  

3.5 Stars
Review by Jennifer Skewes

Choices is a very sweet and quick read. This is my first novel by this author and I really enjoyed the book and the characters. Sometimes in life you have to make some tough choices. Just because your whole life has been mapped out and you know what your future holds doesn't necessarily mean that is the best choice for you. It may not even be what your want.  But you have to decide whether you want to stay on that path or go for what you really want.

Michalea and her brother Chris grew up in a world where image is everything.  Her father is a big time corporate attorney and he expects his children to follow in his footsteps. Mic just graduated college and is on her way to NYC for law school. She has been with her boyfriend since high school. But when her boyfriend pops the big question unexpectedly Mic has a decision to make.  Her whole life she has lived up to her parent's standards. But she doesn't want the life that they want her to live. She wants to be her own person and make her own decisions.  So she moves in with her brother Chris in NY and plans on doing just that.

Jason comes from a completely different world than Mic.  He is Chris' best friend who has his own issues when it comes to family and love.  He is not the one night stand type of guy and is actually the type that looks for more.  When he sees his best friends sister he knows that she is the one for him. But being that she is still in love with someone else and she is his friend's sister she is off limits to him.  Or is she?

I really enjoyed this book and loved the characters.  Jason was such a sweet and caring guy.  He wasn't the type to do one night stands or drunk sex.  Because in the end he would want more.  There was something special about Mic but he knew that at the moment they could not be more than just friends.  When they first met things just clicked with them.  They had a very easy and comfortable friendship.  Not knowing each long but yet feeling like they knew each other forever, both being able to open up very easily.  But things become a bit complicated.  There are misunderstandings that get in the way and then there is the very huge obstacle, Mic's family.  Jason is not the guy she is expected to spend her life with.  Her family makes it very difficult for her.  Which confused her even more.  Mic needs to find herself and be her own person before she can even decide her future and who to spend it with.


As I mentioned Jason and Mic had great chemistry.  I love the characters.  Except Ethan, if I never see him again I would be very happy.  I felt so bad for Mic and everything she went through.  Her parents were just so controlling and I wanted to see her stand up for herself and be the person she wanted to be.  And Jason well he was just the sweetest but he too needed to get some courage when it came to Mic.

Overall I really enjoyed this book but there was something missing for me.  I think there were some scenes with Katie, one of Mic's friends that just didn't seem to make sense to me.  I understood it but just felt like it was never really resolved.  I also loved Chris and he has some of his own issues which I hope to see in his own book, if he is getting one.  But that too just seemed to fall a little flat for me.  


Choices is a quick and sweet enjoyable read and I look forward to the next one in the series.

Review: The Death of Lila Jane by Teresa Mummert






From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Teresa Mummert comes a cautionary coming of age tale. 
Lila Jane is spending her summer vacation preparing for high school. She does everything asked of her, but her parents rarely give her credit for her efforts. She decides to sneak out with a friend to attend a local party and shed her little girl image, to become a woman once and for all. What starts out as a fun escape soon escalates into a life on the run with a boy she barely knows.






4 Stars
Review by Jen Skewes

The Death of Lila Jane is a story about a young girl trying to escape the hold that her parents have on her and come out of her shell.  Lila Jane is a 15 year old girl who has lived a sheltered life due to her very overprotective parents.  She is a bit introverted and has some socialization/anxiety issues.   She has one friend and would rather stay in and read a book then go out.  When she sees the new boy across the street she finds herself spying on him through her window.  She wants to go over to him and say hello but given her issues she cannot bring herself to step outside. 

Kaden has lost the love of his life at such a young age.  He was sent to live with his uncle who is also broken in his own way as well.  Kaden is broken but at the same time he is tough and maybe a little rough around the edges.  But he is still a genuinely good guy.  He sees the girl across the street spying on him.  His uncle insists that he takes her out to the mall and get to know her.  Eventually he gives in and offers to take her, but the mall is not where they end up going.  They end up at a party which turns into the two of them going on the run together.   Kaden makes mistakes which he is afraid will cause him to be kicked out so he deciees to go on the run and Lila wants to go with him.  She wants to break free from her parents and wants to learn to live.  Kaden is the perfect person to teach her about living.  But this adventure of theirs cannot last forever.  At some point she has to go home.  And when that happens then what?


I really enjoyed this book.  Kaden and Lila had great chemistry.  It was a beautiful story about finding yourself and being able to break out of your shell.  But it also deals with learning to live life and learning to heal.   I loved the moments that these two shared together They were so young and Lila was so naïve due to her childhood but I think that is why they fit so well.  Kaden helped her to learn how to live.  While I did love this story there was something missing for me and I think the ending just fell a little flat for me.  But overall a recommended and very enjoyable read.

PROLOGUE
I was mad at the world, at the whiskey for not being strong enough, at the drugs for not lasting long enough, at the fucking whores I banged for not getting me off when it was my fault my dick was fucking useless after a bucket of fucking blow. I went so far as to be pissed at random people on the street for laughing or smiling when I felt like I’d never be able to smile or laugh again.
How dare they?
How fucking dare they be move on with their lives like my friend hadn’t just died.
I was on the verge of losing what little sanity I had left when I rode out of Logan's Beach and set off to find a place, or places, where I could numb myself against the feelings that followed me from town to town, cheap motel to cheap motel, girl to girl, high to fucking high.
Then, this pink haired girl from the past came barreling into my life and it was like for the first time, I’d found a purpose. A real genuine purpose and not just some shit Chop spewed out as orders that I and every other member of the Beach Bastards took as bible, but a true reason to live again.
To WANT to live again.
Someone to live for.
Ti was my chance at some sort of real happiness when Lord fucking knows I had no idea what that really was before her. The only glimpses of real genuine happiness I'd ever had came courtesy of Preppy, King, and of course Grace. Like when King tattooed us for the first time and we loved them, even though they were crooked and downright fucking awful. Like when Grace made me my very first birthday cake. Like the time King Prep and I sat at the top of the water tower and thought the world was ours to take.
Because at that time, it was.
Then there was Ti and my new happiness became the first time I saw her smile. The first time I kissed her. The first time I tasted her pussy by the fire. The first time she let me inside of her, shamelessly pushing through her virginity in a frantic need to make her mine.
Because that's what she was.
That's what she would always be.
And I will kill every motherfucker who dares to try and take her from me.
Mine.

4 stars
Review by Natasha Gentile


Where do I start with this book?  As you know I’m a huge fan of the series.  I mean just the cover and you want to crawl into it and be in that world.  Be one with them.  

Someone to live for.


In the last book the love that Ti and Bear had was epic.  You felt it down to your soul.  You just know that what they had would be a forever kind of love.  It would be a love that you dream at hope for.  Minus all the craziness that comes with them.

Ti was my chance at some sort of real happiness when Lord f*cking knows I had no idea what that really was before her. 

It’s his inner thoughts that made you cheer for the bad boys.  I mean in no way was he a choir boy.  He was a biker.  Born a biker.  Die a biker.  He lived by the rules, he thought by the rules till one day the world he knew was something he couldn’t agree with. 

He was out of the game.  Till they threw him right back in taking the one thing that they knew he couldn’t say no to Ti.

On my bike, with Logan’s Beach blurring around me, I became the soulless monster who was willing to spill rivers full of blood for my girl.  
There were a lot of mother*ckers heading to hell tonight.


Ok so from the other books this book was the tamest of all four.  It was slow in some spots.  I mean the sex scenes were hot.  Very Hot.  Dude have you not seen the cover?  You just picture him in your mind and you are like yup that’s how it would happen in my mind also.

I still think that it was dragging and it was also very confusing to me from the way Lawless ended.  I sat there going back and forth from one book to the other. 

Their love story was epic in the first one and I just think it was a bit forgotten at the beginning.  

But then you get to the 70% mark and it's rock and roll and bumping and grinding and now you're speed reading.  You are cringing at some of the things going on and you want to sit back and say what in the every loving heck does this author think? And then that ending.  That is what made me up my rating…Because Pancakes!

Our story, it wasn’t over yet.
It couldn’t be
I’d come so far.
Bear had come so far.
We’d both been through so much.
Too much.
We deserved our chance at life.  At love. At figuring out what any of the meant.
It was far from a romance.
But it was still a love story. 
And it was ours.
