ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date April 20, 2017

Raven: To seek, plunder, or prey. To devour ravenously. To seize as spoil.

I am Raven.

I knew what it meant to fight my way through life.
To be the victim, the spoil, the prey.
I decided long ago I would take control of my future.

No more bug infested couches.

No more drug-addicted mothers or absentee fathers.

No more welfare checks or moldy bread.

No more settling.

I thought I had it all figured out, a way out of the hand I’d been dealt.

Until my life got turned upside down by two very different men who look at me with mirrored lust in their eyes.

Their want is palpable, heady. Their desire makes me reckless.
I no longer know who I am or who I want.

The only thing I do know is, I am ravenous.
Voracious. Intensely eager for gratification or satisfaction.

Despite the fact I know it is a disaster waiting to happen, I can’t stop it.

I’m afraid I will never be sated.

REVIEW: RAVENOUS is the first installment in L.L. Collins’s contemporary, adult, erotic, romance series. This is former soldier, and thirty year old high school English teacher Brecken Kingsley, and twenty one year old college student Raven Phillips’s story line.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Raven and Brecken) RAVENOUS follows the building relationship between Raven Phillips and Brecken Kingsley-a relationship predicated on a lie; an arranged after hours business affair; and a building love for two people walking separate paths towards a future together. Raven Phillips is desperate and struggles with the choices in her life when an opportunity presents itself ensuring Raven the possibility of easier times ahead for herself and her younger sister Chrissy. Meeting twins Dr. Porter Kinglsey, and high school English teacher Brecken Kingsley never entered into the equation but two men vying for the affections of our story line heroine pits brother against brother until the truth is finally revealed. What ensues is Raven’s battle between her heart and her head, and Brecken’s desire for a woman he barely knows.

L.L. Collins writes a sexy, creative and engaging story about one woman, two brothers and their passionate relationships both in and out of the bedroom. Raven Phillips must choose between security and love, self esteem, pride, survival and letting go. The premise is spirited; the characters are passionate; the romance is fated by circumstance and time. RAVENOUS is an enticing tale that will captivate your imagination.
