ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date

The world took everything from us.

As survivors of not only a plane crash, but two other impossible tragedies, we’d more than earned a life of peace. But time and time again, we were shown that fate had no intention of giving that to us.

Remi and I were soulmates. Plain and simple. Our love should have died in the depths of our darkness, but the sun still exists even when it’s not shining.

The secrets of our past threatened to destroy us at every turn, but for Remi, I would never stop fighting for our future.

The world took everything from us.
And we would stop at nothing until we took it all back—forever.

REVIEW:THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SOMEDAY AND FOREVER is the third and final instalment in Aly Martinez’s contemporary, adult DIFFERENCE adult DIFFERENCE romantic, suspense trilogy focusing on on twenty-nine year old, accountant Bowen Michaels , and realtor Remi Grey. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SOMEDAY AND FOREVER should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up immediately after the events and cliff hanger of book two THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SOMEHOW AND SOMEWAY.

SOME BACKGROUND: Months earlier Bowen Michaels, and Remi Grey were two of only twenty-seven survivors of a plane crash that claimed the lives of one-hundred and fifty-two people, a crash that claimed the woman Bowen had loved. Bowen and Remi would reconnect at a court hearing in the wake of a number of law suits against the airplane manufacturer, a hearing that would start our couple on a journey towards healing, reconnecting and moving forward.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Bowen and Remi) using present day, dreams and memories from the past, THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SOMEDAY AND SOMEONE picks up immediately after the events of book two in which Remi asks for time away from the man that she loves, time to discover the real Remi Grey. Remi and Bowen’s near fatal plane crash was but one of several tragedies that had befallen our story line couple but Remi goes from the proverbial frying pan into the fire when deceit and obsession threaten the life of Remi Grey. Battling with the betrayal by someone close, Remi’s life hangs in the balance, as Bowen struggles with the prospect of losing it all. What ensues is the rekindling romance and relationship between Bowen and Remi, as the past returns with a vengeance threatening to destroy the fragile balance between life and death.

The relationship between Remi and Bowen struggles in the wake of secrets and lies, betrayal and grief. To protect our story line heroine, Bowen, their family and friends, have refused to reveal the truth about the past, a past that is about to resurface in an act of vengeful violence. As Remi and Bowen begin their life anew, tragedy strikes again, threading to destroy our story line heroine. The $ex scenes are intimate, passionate and seductive without the use of over the top sexually graphic language and text.

Once again, he secondary and supporting characters include the return of Remi’s roommates and best friends Mark, and Aaron and Emily; Remi’s father Jack Grey, Bowen’s siblings Tyson and his fiance Jared, and Cassidy, as well as their parents, and Remi’s new friend Jenna.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SOMEDAY AND FOREVER is a story of obsession and betrayal, family, friendships and relationships, loss, love and acceptance. The premise is heart breaking, emotional, revealing and twisted; the characters are broken but healing; the romance is impassioned and edgy.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date February 24, 2022

The world gave me everything.

After surviving a plane crash, I was lucky to be alive. It was a harsh truth, but one that changed my perspective on how fragile life could be.

So when a fellow survivor caught my eye, I owed it to myself to take a chance and follow my heart.

Bowen Michaels was guarded and broody, but I saw through his well-formed armor. Much like me, he was broken and lost, but together we found our way through the darkness.

For a brief moment, wrapped in his arms, it felt like maybe he was right about fate and we’d been destined to find each other all along.

But when buried secrets of the past erupt, igniting us both, it was hard to believe we’d been fated for anything other than failure.

The world gave me everything.
And then it took it all away.

REVIEW:THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SOMEHOW AND SOMEWAY is the second instalment in Aly Martinez’ contemporary, adult DIFFERENCE romantic, suspense trilogy focusing on on twenty-nine year old, accountant Bowen Michaels , and realtor Remi Grey. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SOMEHOW AND SOMEWAY should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up immediately after the events and cliff hanger of book one THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SOMEBODY AND SOMEONE .

SOME BACKGROUND: Six months earlier Bowen Michaels, and Remi Grey were two of only twenty-seven survivors of a plane crash that claimed the lives of one-hundred and fifty-two people, a crash that claimed the woman Bowen had loved. Bowen and Remi would reconnect at a court hearing in the wake of a number of law suits against the airplane manufacturer, a hearing that would start our couple on a journey towards healing, reconnecting and moving forward.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Bowen and Remi) THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SOMEHOW AND SOMEWAY continues to focus on the building romance and relationship between Bowen Michaels and Remi Grey, a relationship predicated upon mutual survival, and a series of secrets and lies meant to pacify and alleviate heart break and loss. As Bowen and Remi’s relationship begins to take on some sense of future permanency, our heroine will discover that everything about her life since the accident has been out of her control. Desperate to reclaim the life she thought she had, our heroine will face betrayal at the hands of someone close.

The relationship between Remi and Bowen is passionate and intense but our couple’s life is about to implode. Secrets and lies, betrayal and obsession are but the tip of the proverbial iceberg as Remi’s life spirals out of control. The $ex scenes are passionate and intense without the use of over the top sexually graphic language and text.

The secondary and supporting characters include the return of Remi’s roommates and best friends Mark and Aaron; Remi’s father Jack Grey, Bowen’s siblings Tyson and Cassidy, as well as their parents.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SOMEHOW AND SOMEWAY is a story of secrets and lies, betrayal, vengeance and obsession, family and friendships. The premise is revealing, intriguing and surprising; the romance is seductive and impassioned; the characters are broken, deceptive, and barely surviving. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SOMEHOW AND SOMEWAY ends on a cliff hanger-you have been warned.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date April 28, 2021

In the aftermath of tragedy, it’s strange the things you remember.
The deafening boom as the house exploded.
The paralyzing fear as I searched for my wife.
The blinding smoke burning my eyes as I carried her out.

But carved into my soul for the rest of my days would be the earth-shattering realization that the woman in my arms wasn’t my wife.

Bree and I were the only survivors—not that either of us were truly living after that night. As a single dad with nowhere else to go, I moved into her guest house. And somehow, through the guilt and grief, we forged an unlikely team.

It took years, but I watched the gradual return of her smile—slow and life-altering.
The two of us could sit outside for hours, talking about nothing, and it filled the massive hole in my chest with new life.

I may have carried her out of that fire, but the truth was, Bree saved me.

As we healed, the secrets and lies of the past smoldered in the ashes, threatening to ignite again.

Our love was born from the embers, and together we would go up in flames

REVIEW:FROM THE EMBERS by Aly Martinez is a contemporary, adult, stand alone, romance story line focusing on struggling musician Eason Maxwell , and stay at home mother Bree Winters’ story line.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Eason and Bree) FROM THE EMBERS follows in the aftermath of an explosion that took the life of Eason’s wife Jessica, and Bree’s husband Rob. Rob and Eason had been best friends since college, and along with their significant others had formed a friendship that they thought would last forever but a house explosion killed Eason’s wife Jessica Maxwell, and Bree’s husband Rob Winters, and in the ensuing year, Eason would become the stay at home dad while Bree went back to work, as owner and CEO of the family owned company Prism Bedding. As Bree and Eason settled into a domestic routine, feelings and emotions would give way to a mutual attraction that would be destroyed once again, when betrayal forces our couple to take a closer look at what was, and what will never be. But…all is not well at Prism Bedding, and Bree finds herself and the company facing a government audit, and the realization that another betrayal is to be added to a long list of secrets and lies. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Eason and Bree, and the potential fall-out as the past comes back demanding everything and more.

Eason Maxwell is struggling musician having had a successful career in the early 90s but fame is a fickle thing, and Eason had to make a change in his path, going forward. Falling in love with his best friend’s widow was never in the cards but Eason soon discovered that a shared mutual grief is the starting point for a chance at another happily ever after. The possibility of reinvigorating his music career lands Eason on the fast climb to fame, taking his new found family along for the ride. Bree Winters had only ever loved one man but in the months following his death, Bree would discover that not everything was as it had appeared to be with the man she once loved. With Eason by her side, our couple would have to come to terms with the deceit and lies that reveal the potential for more heart break and grief.

The relationship between Bree and Eason begins reluctantly as friends, then the mutually shared grief of losing their spouses and best friends. Eason, with no place to live, accepts Bree’s invitation to live, along with his young daughter, in her backyard pool house, an invitation that finds Eason playing Mr. Mom while Bree went back to work, in an effort to keep the family owned business, afloat. A secret revealed would threaten their building romance, a secret where years of lies were about to implode. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

We are introduced to Bree’s husband Rob Winters; Eason’s wife Jessica; Rob/Bree’s assistant Jillian; neighbour/ part time sitter Evelyn, Bree’s children Asher and Madison, and Eason’s daughter Luna.

FROM THE EMBERS is a story of family, friendships, relationships and love; a story of secrets, lies, betrayal and revenge. The premise is heart breaking, tragic, raw and haunting; the romance captivating and tender; the characters are broken, spirited and wounded. Aly Martinez writes a richly dramatic and impassioned tale of betrayal and second chances.

Using my arm to block my face, I carried her lifeless body to the door. The knob seared my palm as I yanked it open, but the pain didn’t even register through the adrenaline. The sound of my feet pounding down the driveway echoed in my ears as the fire crackled behind me. Our closest neighbor was over half a mile away, but there was no way they hadn’t heard the explosion. The fire department would be there soon.
Once I got Jessica safe, I’d go back for Bree. They’d find Rob. Everyone would be okay.
“Eason,” she croaked in my arms.
My feet were still moving as I sprinted away, but time stopped as her voice permeated my senses.
It wasn’t possible.
She was covered in soot, and my eyes were caked with ash and what I would later learn to be blood, but I could still make out the large flowers on her yellow—
“Uh, no. It’s my dress that your wife borrowed and I had to do an entire Tom Cruise Mission Impossible thing to get it back last week.”
Oh, God.
I kept running until the wind changed direction, clearing the smoke. With my heart in my throat, I prayed that my still ringing ears had deceived me. I set her down and used the inside of my shirt to clear my face.
“Eason,” she croaked.
But once again, she wasn’t my wife.
“Oh, God,” I breathed, watching as she rose on unsteady legs. Tears carved twin riverbeds through the ash on her cheeks.
“What happened?” Bree asked, her green eyes focused on the blazing inferno behind me.
Acrid guilt devoured me. “I…”
I saved the wrong woman.
I left the mother of my child in a burning building.
My final broken promise to the woman I’d vowed forever to was, “I’ll be right back.”
Bile crawled up my throat. “I don’t know.”
I glanced back at the house, the heat of the roaring fire scorching me even from yards away. Overwhelming grief hit me as I realized there was no way I could get back through those flames.
Oh, God. Jessica.
In the middle of tragedy, it’s strange the things that become engrained into your memories. Years later, I wouldn’t be able to tell you how long it took the firetrucks to get there. I couldn’t tell you what time it was or what I had been wearing. But I would never be able to forget the absolute devastation on Bree’s face when she realized we were the only two standing outside the burning house.
“Where’s Rob?” she rasped, her voice sounding like it had traveled over a mile of gravel before exiting her throat. “And Jessica. Where are they?” She took an urgent stride toward me.
“I tried…” I doubled over into a fit of coughing. It was probably for the best. There was no way I could have finished that thought.

Choices. Everyone makes them. From mundane to unimaginable, one choice can change the trajectory of your entire life.

My mother’s choice was to abandon us with our abusive father.
My brother’s choice was to go to prison for killing the boy who assaulted his soulmate.
Camden Cole’s choice was to fall in love with a shattered girl who had absolutely nothing to offer him but heartbreak.

It was one summer beneath the trees, but with Camden, I had a place where I belonged.
A friend who was always waiting for me.
A boy who I caught staring at me more often than not.

He was mine, but when the world closed in and secrets exploded all around us, it was my choice to let him go.

Choices. Everyone makes them.
But mine would ruin us all.

REVIEW:RECLAIM by Aly Martinez is a contemporary, adult, dark, romance story line focusing on Camden Cole, and Nora Stewart.

NOTE: RECLAIM runs parallel to, and crosses over with the events of RELEASE but you do not have to have read Release to follow with the current story line. Nora is Ramsay Stewart’s sister (Release).

WARNING: Due to the nature of the story line premise including child abuse, neglect and rape, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Camden and Nora) following several timelines, covering close to twenty five years in the life, RECLAIM follows the friends to lovers relationship between Camden Cole, and Nora Stewart. At the ages of seven and eight, Nora Stewart met Camden Cole, and spent one wild summer together collecting worms and stories, as Nora’s home life would continue to spiral out of control. Visiting his grandparents very summer near Clovert, Georgia was meant to be punishment but Camden looked forward to his time spent with our story line heroine. At the age of twelve Nora would discover the true meaning of evil, and Camden would be pulled from her life for the next several years. Time would pass, as our couple would meet up, catch up and never forget until Nora did something unspeakable and her brother would pay the price. Years later, Nora would become a teacher, and Camden would write the bar exam, knowing he would eventually be called to save the woman he loved, but saving Nora also meant saving his own heart in the process. What ensues is the building back and forth friendship, relationship romance and love between Camden and Nora as Nora’s life in the small town of Clovert, Georgia would move forward with only the memories of the man she never stopped loving.

Camden Cole was only a summer visitor in Clover Georgia but his family had history and power in the small town where Nora Stewart lived. Camden knew Nora and her brother Ramsay struggled daily to survive but he never expected his life to be shattered when he discovered the truth about the who and what had happened to Nora. Nora Stewart had only ever loved one man from the age of seven, and said man kept disappearing and reappearing throughout her life but it wasn’t until a personal vengeance against Nora and her brother threatened any sense of peace for our story line heroine did Camden Cole return to claim Nora forever.

The relationship between Nora and Camden begins as childhood friends but Nora struggled with her life at home. Abuse, neglect, hunger and hate were but a few of the daily rituals our heroine and her brother had to endure. Camden battled between head and heart knowing the who and what Nora had to endure but it wasn’t until our heroine was older did Camden step in to ensure she was protected from her life back home. As the years went by, Camden and Nora would continue to proclaim their love but Nora struggled to fight the demons from her past, demons that would continue to haunt her for years to come. The $ex scenes are limited but mostly implied.

The colorful cast of secondary and supporting characters include Nora’s brother Ramsay and his girlfriend Thea (Release); Camden’s cousins Josh and Jonathan; Nora and Ramsay’s father, as well as Camden’s parents, his grandparents, and a couple of private investigators.

RECLAIM is a story of power, control; abuse and neglect; betrayal and vengeance; friendship and love. The premise is emotional, heart breaking and raw; the romance is imaginative and sensitive; the characters are broken, stubborn, dynamic and real. RECLAIM is a tragic, impassioned and dramatic tale of survival and love.

He wedged his large body beside me in the bed. On his side, he draped one arm across my middle, curling his other under his head.
I watched him out of the corner of my eye, completely unsure if I was supposed to cuddle into him or what the hell we were doing.
“This okay?” he asked. “You comfortable?”
I was a lot of things. Confused. Lost. Overwhelmed by guilt.
But because it was Camden, comfortable was one of those things too.
As an answer, I rolled toward him and buried my face in his broad chest.
His whole body sagged as he began stroking the back of my hair. “Nora. Nora. Nora.”
In a way, Camden and I were strangers, but as his heart played in my ear, I felt two puzzle pieces clicking into place. A calm washed over me. The dark cloud of my betrayals still existed outside of Camden’s embrace; it just didn’t seem so ominous anymore. He knew all the dirty and broken parts of me and still came back, holding me as though he could keep me together.
Sliding an arm around his back, I curled in close, shifting to tangle my legs with his. “I’m tired, Cam.”
“I know,” he whispered, hugging me tight.
“No, you don’t. Nobody understands. I’m a disease who infects everyone who gets close to me.” My breathing shuddered. “It hurts. Everything hurts.”
“Do you remember our first summer together when a grasshopper got into the container where we held the extra worms? You screamed so loud when you opened that thing and it came flying out like a bat out of hell. It got on your shirt and then hung on for dear life. With all the racket you were making, the damn thing had to have been terrified, but he never jumped off. I had to peel it off your shirt, one leg at a time.”
I gagged at the memory. “Thanks for reminding me of that. Awesome timing.”
He chuckled and pressed his lips to the top of my head. “I’m the grasshopper clinging to your shirt, Nora.”
Now, if that wasn’t some good old classic Camden Cole rambling, I had no idea what was.
I tilted my head back, resting my chin on his pec, and peered up at him. “You do realize I have no idea what you’re talking about, right?”
My cold, hollow chest filled with a warmth I hadn’t felt in years when he grinned down at me.
“I genuinely thought you’d find your way back to me. A phone call. A visit. Anything. But as time passed and I got older, I realized I fell in love with a girl who had no idea how to be loved.”
My stomach wrenched, and emotion made my vision swim. “Camden, I—”
“No, just let me talk. Hear me out.” He tucked a stray hair behind my ear and let his thumb linger at my cheek, sweeping back and forth. “I know you love me, Nora. It’s flashed in your eyes every time you’ve seen me since we were kids. It’s like every light in the house suddenly comes on, but it terrifies you, so you spend the whole time we’re together running around, turning them all off, convincing yourself that you don’t deserve for people to love you back. But we still do it. Joe loves you. Thea loves you. Ramsey loves you. I’ll always love you.”

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date July 30, 2020

Fate doesn’t always happen overnight.

Hudson Bradley is the cockiest, most stubborn, hard-headed man I’ve ever known. And for fifteen years, he’s been my brother’s best friend.

But lately, what I’m feeling for him isn’t friendship at all.

Why is my heart racing every time his blue eyes lock on mine?
Why does every word he rumbles in my ear make my body come alive?
And worst of all, why did I bet him that I could find a woman he and his son would both love?

If I hadn’t given up on love altogether, Hudson would have been perfect for me. After all, he was there the day my world fell apart. He’s spent the last six years piecing me back together.

There are a million reasons why we could never work, but after a single kiss, I can’t remember any of them.

Now that the time is right, I have to make him mine—before I lose him forever.

REVIEWWHEN THE TIME IS RIGHT by M. Mabie and Aly Martinez is a contemporary, adult stand alone romance story line focusing on twenty eight year old Alexis ‘Lexi’ Lawson, and single father / businessman Hudson Bradley.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Lexi and Hudson) WHEN THE TIME IS RIGHT follows the best friend’s sister relationship between twenty eight year old Alexis ‘Lexi’ Lawson, and single father / businessman Hudson Bradley. Hudson Bradley is a single father’s whose relationship with the child’s mother is friendly and amicable but six years earlier Lexi’s life imploded when the man that she loved was killed, and in the ensuing time Lexi has worked hard to move forward including supporting her brother’s best friend Hudson, and his growing son Jack. As a group, Lexi, Hudson, Lexi’s brother Cal, and Hudson’s ex Lauren are a tight knit group that has always supported one another from the very start including helping to raise Hudson and Lauren’s son Jack as part of their extended family but Cal’s recent marriage to Vanessa was a reminder that our couple remained single while everyone else was moving on so Lexi and Hudson made a bet to set one another up with a potential love interest that would fail spectacularly when each realized their love for one another. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Lexi and Hudson, and the potential fall-out as Jack’s personal life is about to spiral out of control.

Hudson Bradley remains friendly with the mother of his child, a friendship that blossomed over fifteen years earlier but Hudson was never in love with Lauren, and since the birth of his son, Hudson focuses on his business and raising his child. Lexi Lawson has loved and lost but her love for Hudson continues to grow. Fearing another loss, Lexi struggles to move forward including falling in love with her brother’s best friend. A snarky and mouthy young woman, Lexi falters with memories from the past, memories of which she continues to hold.

The relationship between Lexi and Hudson is a friends to lovers ; a wonderful relationship that is the foundation of a group friendship that has weathered the good with bad. As our couple set one another up with potential dates, Hudson and Lexi both realize they were doomed to fail at dating when they were both comparing their dates to each other. The back and forth camaraderie between Lexi and Hudson is flirty and fun-there are plenty of humorous moments, laughter and giggles. The $ex scenes are passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

The secondary and supporting characters include Lexi’s brother Dr. Calvin Lawson, their parents Judy and David, Hudson’s ex Lauren, their son Jackson Bradley, as well as an assortment of potential ‘love interests’ for our couple including Lauren’s new beau Mark.

WHEN THE TIME IS RIGHT is a story of family, friendships, support and love. The premise is engaging and captivating; the romance is seductive; the characters are energetic, fun, and colorful. WHEN THE TIME IS RIGHT is a wonderful and magical story of friendship and love.

I did everything I could to not make eye contact.
Actually, my MO for the past week had been no contact period, but that was a little hard to do when the guy you’re dodging knows things about you. Specifically, the lock code on your front door.
“You can go home, Hudson. I’m fine.” Out of my periphery, I watched him perch his hands on his hips.
“No,” he argued. “Not until we figure this out.”
So he had noticed my ghosting. I hoped he wasn’t as good at calling my bluff.
“There is no this.”
“What about what you said at the—”
“Yeah, I must have had a cold or something. Whatever it was, I’m over it.”
Lies. Lies. Lies. Hopefully, I’d start believing them.
“Over it?”
“Yep. Hey, how was your date?” My topic-swapping skills were on point. When he stopped, only an arm’s length away, I finally seized what scrap of pride I had and looked up into his blue eyes. “Are you seeing her again?”
He huffed. “Well, that’s kind of up to you.”
“Me?” I dropped the spoon into the sink and put the ice cream down so I could cross my arms over my chest. “What do I have to do with it?”
His lids fell shut, and he tipped his head at the ceiling, stretched his neck from side to side, and then brought his gaze back to mine. “Kate seems to think that, maybe, I have a thing…for you.”
My face flushed hot, and I wondered if maybe I’d fallen down trying to get out of my leather skirt earlier and I was dreaming, passed out on my bedroom floor. The issue with that theory was I could smell him, feel the warmth from his body in front of me, and see his heartbeat thumping in the vein in his neck.
This was real, but I still wasn’t sure I could handle it.
“Well, that’s just, uh, dumb,” I contended weakly. Shaking my head to rattle myself back to sanity, I asked, “W-why did she say that?” I tried to laugh, but it was as fake as my gusto.
“Because, apparently, I talked about you the whole night.”
Okay, I was wrong. I’d thought riding in a car with him and seeing him shirtless and watching him play with Jack and seeing how much he loved my family and having him touch me and avoiding him all week had been torture.
This moment was a whole new level of torment.
“So?” I said childishly.
It didn’t matter how I felt or what I wanted. I couldn’t just leap into his arms and expect everything to turn out the way it was supposed to. That’s not how my life worked.
“So I need to find out if this, whatever’s been building between us, is something.”
Wouldn’t that be nice? Up until that very second, it had all been one-sided. I’d racked my brain all week to understand why I’d felt the crazy things I did about him.
“How you gonna do that?”
“We’re going to kiss,” he stated very matter-of-factly, and then he closed the distance between our bodies.
“We are?” I whispered. My voice had all but left the building.
“Unless you stop me right now.”
I wanted to.
I didn’t want to.
I was scared.
I was excited.
But mostly, I wasn’t stopping him.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date June 4, 2020

Did you ever hear the joke about the guy whose wife cheated on him with his best friend? So he quit his job, moved into his parents’ basement, and gained fifty pounds?

No? Because that wasn’t a joke. It was my life.

Four years later, I’m back with a dream job, a killer apartment, and a set of abs that are better than ever.

So, when Maggie Light, a stunning, snarky blonde moves in next door, and we spend the hottest weekend of our lives together, I think this could be the greatest comeback story ever.

That is until I realize Maggie has moved to town to do one thing—steal my job.

Maybe this isn’t a comeback story after all. Maybe this is war—one I intend to win.

What I never anticipated was that maybe I’d rather win her.

Perhaps, if I’m lucky, the universe has finally run out of jokes and I can somehow win both.

••••••

REVIEW: WHEN THE WALLS COME DOWN is a contemporary, adult, stand alone,erotic romance story line co-authored by M. Mabie and Aly Martinez. This is advertising executives-twenty four year old Maggie Light, and thirty three year old Shane Warren’s story line .

Told from dual first person perspectives (Maggie and Shane) WHEN THE WALLS COME DOWN follows the building romance between advertising executives-twenty four year old Maggie Light, and thirty three year old Shane Warren. Maggie Light is about to start on a new career at Bay Brewing Company in San Francisco, California. Having moved from Georgia just days before, our heroine will meet her new neighbour Shane Warren, and a whirlwind romance will ensue but Maggie never expected to come face to face with Shane on the first day of the job, a job she is apparently taking from our story line hero. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Shane and Maggie, and the potential fall-out as Shane wants something more than Maggie is willing to give.

Shane has worked for his brother in law at the Bay Brewing Company and their Two Ships restaurant, a position in the advertising and promotion department for the past four years but apparently his family believes it is time he moved on, and are forcing Shane to look outside of the company for something else. Our hero is then blindsided when his replacement has already been hired, and said replacement is the woman with whom Shane will fall in love.

The relationship between Shane and Maggie begins as a one—night stand that quickly turns into something more. Maggie is the new girl in town; Shane’s neighbor, and apparently the woman hired to take over his job. His attraction to Maggie is visceral and immediate, yet Maggie is reluctant to commit to anything beyond the present. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters-both Maggie and Shane each have several sibling, nieces and nephews. We are introduced to Shane’s sister Blake, and his brother in law Casey Moore; as well as Maggie’s brother Heath.

WHEN THE WALLS COME DOWN is a romantic comedy; a story of family, friendships, relationships and love. The premise is flirty and fun, something I never would have expected from Aly Martinez as she has written many dark and dramatic stories of love and loss; the romance is sweet and seductive; the characters are energetic, fun and realistic.

NOTE: The excerpt is intended for mature readers due to strong language and content.

Oh, for fuck’s sake. Am I a man or not?
Here goes fucking nothing.
Take a risk, my ass. I’d fucking show Casey and Blake a damn risk.
I marched down to where she was sitting. “Hi, I’m Shane.”
She looked shocked, maybe a little startled by my approach—and rightly so. I’d stalked over like the fucking Terminator, all amped up from my private pep talk.
“The bartender, Chris, said you’re new in town, and it’s your first time here.”
Her sparkling blue eyes stood out against her makeup, and now—standing close to her—I could smell her perfume. A subtle and warm scent that made me want to lean in.
What the fuck had I been thinking?
To put it mildly, she was out of my league, but hey… Risks, right?
“If you’re dining alone, would you mind if I offer a suggestion from the menu?”
“I was only looking it over out of curiosity. I really just came in for a drink or two.” She folded it and placed it on the wooden top in front of her.
Goddamn, that cleavage.
“Oh. Yeah. Okay. Well, then…uh…let me get one for you.” I might have strutted over like the Terminator, but I was fumbling over my words like Barney Fife and beginning to sweat like a Crossfitter.
Her brows bunched. “Um, you really don’t have to do that.”
“Please. After the day I’ve had, I’ll actually have one with you.” I swiped at the back of my neck. “The drinks are good here. Very cold. Wet.” Jesus fucking Christ, Shane. Wet!? “Um. Alcoholic, if that’s what you’re into.” I waved Chris—and his bigger-than-life shit-eating grin—down to us.
“Find something you’d like?” he asked her.
“I’ll just have a Titos and cranberry,” she answered. “I hear they’re very cold and wet here.”
Chris looked at me disappointedly, probably guessing at how badly I’d botched this introduction. He wasn’t wrong, but she hadn’t told me to fuck off yet.
Yet.
“And I’ll take a Honeybee Brown,” I added.
He spun on his heel, shocked. “Really?”
I shrugged and shot daggers at him. “Really. A pint, please.”
“A cold, wet one too, eh? Okay, man. Coming right up.” He made our drinks and then about a dozen more for the servers who were keeping him busy.
“Thanks for the drink,” she said, clinking our glasses together, her eyes never quite meeting mine.
“Yeah. Sure. No problem.” I followed her lead and took a sip.
“So, do you come here a lot, Shane?”
My name on her lips had me clearing my throat.
“Yes,” replied our asshole bartender before I could answer.
“I live close,” I explained, and she nodded in understanding. “So, where did you come to the Bay from?” I took another sip, realizing that counting the beer I’d had with Casey earlier and this one, I was nearing my only-a-few-drinks daily limit. So I’d be savoring the pint as long as she didn’t seem too put off by my dusty-ass small talk. Otherwise, I could chug it down and then be on my merry way, leaving her to enjoy her night without a divorced, practically fired dude bugging her.
“Atlanta,” she replied and swirled a piece of ice with the drink stirrer in her glass. Still no eye contact.
Small talk. I fumbled for more small talk.
“You have family here?”
“No, I’ve always wanted to get out of Georgia. So, when I landed a job out here, it seemed like a sign.”
Finally, her blue eyes met mine and… Fuck, if I could have just remembered to blink, I’d have been doing well. I feared if I broke the gaze for just a second, I’d never see that color again, because surely it was a mirage of some sort. Like a crystal-blue pool in a desert. The kind of trick eyes could only play on a man who hadn’t been laid in nearly half a decade.
She finished with, “I start on Monday. I guess fate is as good a time as any to take a risk.”

ABOUT THE BOOK; Release Date January 5, 2020

Growing up, Ramsey Stewart branded my soul in ways time could never heal.

At twelve, he asked me to be his girlfriend.
At thirteen, he gave me my first kiss.
By sixteen, we’d fallen in love, planned a future together, and had our eyes set on the horizon.

Love never fails, right?
But for Ramsey, it did.
Love failed him.
I failed him.
The entire world failed him.

At seventeen, Ramsey was convicted of killing the boy who assaulted me.

Move on, he wrote in his first and only letter from prison.
Start a new life, he urged.
I don’t love you anymore, he lied.

There was no such thing as giving up on Ramsey. Love may have been our curse, but he was mine—then, now, and forever.

So here I am, twelve long years later, waiting for a man I don’t even know to emerge from between the chain link gates.

•••••••••

REVIEW:RELEASE by Aly Martinez is a contemporary adult, stand alone, erotic romance story line focusing on best friends Ramsey Stewart and Thea Hull.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the subject matter, there may be some triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Ramsey and Thea) following two time lines RELEASE focuses on the childhood friendship, and adult relationship between Ramsey Stewart and Thea Hull. Thea’s mother died when our heroine was ten years old, and she found herself in an acrimonious and acerbic friendship with the new boy in town but their childhood friendship grew into a teenage love affair that would bear witness to trauma, drama and the imprisonment of our story line hero for protecting the woman with whom he had fallen in love. Fast forward to present day, wherein a now thirty-year old Ramsey Stewart, having served twelve years for killing a man, finds himself face to face with the woman he blames for destroying his life. What ensues is the rebuilding romance and relationship between Thea and Ramsey, as our couple must come to terms with what happened and why.

Ramsey Stewart’s home life was less than ideal. When his mother left without looking back, Ramsey and his sister Nora struggled in the face of abuse from their alcoholic father. Thea was a safe haven for Ramsey and Nora but not all was well in Thea’s life following the death of her mother, and the neglect of her father who struggled with the incredible grief. Years as friends developed into a teenage love affair but all was destroyed in the blink of an eye, one night that ruined four lives, sending Ramsey to prison, leaving Thea and Nora struggling to move forward.

The relationship between Thea and Ramsey is a childhood friends to lovers/ rekindling romance. Ramsey’s release from prison found Thea facing a man she barely recognized, a man who despised a world where Thea now lived. Thea, hoping to rekindle their relationship must take baby steps in her seduction of the man she hasn’t stopped loving for most of her life. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

The colorful and energetic secondary and supporting characters include Ramsey’s sister Nora, their father, as well as Thea’s father Joe Hull.

RELEASE is a story of family, friendship, betrayal and revenge; a story of power and abuse; of trauma and recovery. The premise is heart breaking and emotional; the romance is seductive and sensitive; the characters are dynamic, captivating , broken yet strong. I am hoping for Nora to get her own story.

It was funny. I’d spent almost half my life surrounded by the biggest, baddest criminals the state of Georgia had been able to capture. Yet, I was terrified of a five-foot-five woman who for some asinine reason was still in love with me.
I couldn’t be around her. Not if I wanted to keep my head straight and my eye on the prize. I had three years before I got off parole. I needed to get a job, tuck away some cash, and, the second I was allowed to leave Georgia, get the hell out of there. Maybe, if I was lucky, I’d be able to convince my sister to come with me. We didn’t have to go far. We could stay in the south if she wanted. South Carolina, North Carolina, Alabama, Tennessee—there were schools everywhere. Nora wouldn’t have trouble finding a job. The hardest part would be convincing her to leave Thea.
However, maybe if she did, Thea would finally move on with her life and stop obsessing about me.
I’d known they lived together for a while. I didn’t want anything to do with Thea while I was locked up, but I was happy as hell Nora had someone to lean on. I had been under the impression that Nora had gotten her own place when she found out about my release. I had been under that impression because Nora had straight-up told me she was getting her own place after I’d declared there was no way I was living with Thea.
Now, I was hiding in my room, waiting for Nora to wake up, open my door, and escort me to breakfast like a damn bodyguard so I could avoid confrontation.
Next up in my efforts to kill time was a workout. Sit ups, push-ups, planks, running in place. This was when I realized Nora hadn’t bought me any deodorant.
Another shower.
Another naked lap around the bedroom, and this time, I managed to keep my hands off my cock.
Finally, I got dressed. This required me to pick through a bunch of preppy shit Nora had bought for me to find tattered jeans and a fitted green tee that clung to my chest like a damn glove. In my closet, I found a belt and a pair of distressed brown lace-up boots that maybe could have doubled as combat boots if the war was taking place on a runway. But what the hell did I know about style? I’d been wearing orange or puke beige for almost half my life.
When I was done with all of that and there was still no sign of Nora, I sat on the edge of the bed and decided to give the phone thing a try. I wasn’t totally out of the technology loop. We had computers at the library and we were allowed to use them if we earned the privileges. But they might as well have been dinosaurs compared to the phone she’d bought me. I couldn’t even get it to read my face with the fancy secret laser thing. I gave up trying pretty quickly.
So there I was, bored out of my mind, starving, and poking at my newfound wrinkles in the bathroom mirror, when I heard a knock at my door.
“Ramsey?”
I froze, my eyes locked on the mirror, panic staring back at me.
Thea.
Jesus. I needed to find somewhere else to live.
Leaning out of the bathroom, I stared at the door. If I was super quiet, maybe she’d think I was still asleep and go the hell away.
When I didn’t reply, she knocked again. Her voice was timid and sweet, not at all like the fearless girl I’d grown up with. I hated it.
“Ramsey? You hungry? I’m making breakfast? I was wondering if you wanted something?” Everything from my name to the fact that she was making breakfast was a question, as if maybe she was asking permission to cook in her own house.
My stomach was currently feasting on my backbone. Still, I said nothing.
She sighed. “Okay. Well, if you change your—” There were several seconds of silence.
I quirked my eyebrow at the door, trying to figure out why she’d abruptly stopped talking, and then cursed my inability to develop x-ray vision.
I held my breath, hoping to hear her footsteps as she walked away.
No. Such. Fucking. Luck.
The door swung open and she came walking inside with her hands stacked over her eyes. “Look, I know you’re awake. I heard you running earlier. I also heard you take at least three showers. Sorry, but the house isn’t that big. Neither is the hot water heater. Are you at least dressed so I can open my eyes?”
Brave. Unapologetic. And completely oblivious to boundaries. Now that was the Thea I knew.
“Get out,” I barked.
“Dressed? Not dressed? Help me out here?”
“Get. Out.”
She kept her eyes closed. “You gotta eat, Ramsey. You can’t stay locked up in this room forever.”
I wanted to tell her to get the hell out again. Honestly, it was on the tip of my tongue. But it never made it past my lips because my traitorous eyes stole a head-to-toe of her lithe body. She was barefoot, wearing jeans—tight ones that tapered at her ankle. They looked like mine in the sense that they had a rip in the knee. They didn’t look like mine in the sense that they hugged the curve of her hips and more than likely her ass too. A pink tank top stretched across her chest, and I swear on my life, fuck x-ray vision because I could see the pebble of her nipples beneath the fabric.
It wasn’t a ridiculous dress.
It wasn’t stupid fucking heels.
She wasn’t wearing a face full of clown makeup.
She was just Thea.
The nostalgia pumped through my veins like acid even as my cock stirred. Fuck, I should have jerked off again in the shower.
“I’m dressed,” I bit out, desperate for her to put her damn hands down and maybe use them to cover her tits instead.
Her long, brown lashes fluttered as she opened her eyes. Those fucking eyes had once owned me. As a huge smile lit her face, I felt the claim all over again.
“Oh, look, you chose one of the outfits I picked out for you.”
Of course I had. Of fucking course. As soon as I got her out of my room, I was going to take the outfit off and light it on fire.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date June 13, 2019

When I was fifteen, a single bullet changed my life. I spent the next decade trying to outrun the devastation of my past, building an empire that would shield me from whatever life could throw at me.

But all the money in the world couldn’t help me when I found a screaming newborn abandoned on my doorstep.

I’d never wanted to be a father. Passing the sludge that ran through my veins down to an innocent child seemed like a tragedy. But there she was—pink cheeks, red hair, and mine.

Somehow, against all logic, that little girl became the best thing that ever happened to me. It was impossible to stay lost in the past when I was the only one who could protect her future.

Which is exactly why, when her mother came back four years later, I was ready for battle.

If only I could stop myself from falling in love with her during the war.

•••••••••••

REVIEW: WRITTEN WITH YOU is the second instalment in Aly Martinez’ contemporary, adult REGRET erotic, romance duet focusing on thirty-three year old, IT millionaire Caven Hunt, and twenty eight-year old, artist/photographer Hadley Banks. WRITTEN WITH YOU should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up immediately after the events and cliff-hanger of book one WRITTEN WITH REGRET.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Hadley and Caven) using present day and some memories from the past WRITTEN WITH YOU focuses on the growing but struggling relationship between thirty-three year old, IT millionaire Caven Hunt, and twenty eight-year old, artist/photographer Hadley Banks. Caven’s brother Trent is desperate to prove Hadley is not whom she claims to be but it is our story line hero who will discover the truth. With their past entwined Caven struggles with the who, how and why of Hadley Banks, only to be brought full circle as the secrets from the past slowly begin to unravel. With his daughter first and foremost on his mind, Caven needs to protect Hadley from any fall-out, fall-out that is about to destroy them all.

WRITTEN WITH YOU reveals a betrayal of the deepest kind; a secret that twists the proverbial knife; the lies that fester an already infected wound. Aly Martinez pulls the reader into a nightmare of psychotic deception and heart breaking revelations. The past can never be changed but the present and the future are deeply affected. The premise is raw, gritty and intense; the characters struggle to make sense of it all.
