ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date November 4, 2024

Dog trainer and handler, Jillian Lederman, is moving with her pack to Libby, Montana, a place where she has made friends and hopes to find a fresh start. It’s time. For years, she’s just been keeping her wounds fresh by staying in Missoula—where there were regular reminders of all she’s lost—while the rest of the world has continued to move forward.
Perhaps the new house, the beautiful mountains, and a certain pair of clear, blue eyes hold the promise of new beginnings.

Since changing careers years ago, former FBI agent Lucas Wolff has found a much better work-life balance as a member of High Mountain Trackers. Still able to serve his community, he has also been carving out a comfortable existence for himself and is not looking to make any changes to it anytime soon. Not even for a particular bold and ballsy redhead he’s been trying to avoid.

That turns out to be an impossible feat when a plane crash during a blizzard sets both of them on the trail of a young girl, all alone in the mountains. But it soon becomes evident they are not the only ones looking, and staying safe means sticking close together.

•••••

REVIEW: HIGH INTENSITY is the second instalment in Freya Barker’s contemporary, adult HIGH MOUNTAIN TRACKERS HMT 2G romantic suspense series, a spin off from, set in the author’s High Mountain Trackers. This is thirty-nine year old, dog trainer and handler Jillian Lederman, and former FBI Agent Lucas Wolff’s story line. HIGH INTENSITY can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Jillian and Wolff) HIGH INTENSITY follows in the wake of an airplane crash in the mountains of Libby Montana. As the team at HMT struggle with the accumulation of snow, Jillian offers the use of her dogs as the team searches for any survivors, one of whom is missing, an eleven year old girl. As the FBI and law enforcement try to piece together what has happened, our heroine is targeted by a criminal enterprise as they too hunt, for the missing child. Working together to keep the young girl safe, questions begin to arise about the possibility of someone working from the inside in an effort to take control.

The world building follows several paths including the search and rescue of the plane survivors, and several lost hikers but not everyone will make it out alive. As Wolff declares himself guardian and protector of Jillian, he finds himself falling for the child, and the woman he is hoping to claim as his own. We are up close and personal as Jillian reveals the heart break in her life, and her ability to move on from the past.

The relationship between Jillian and Wolff began on a previous search and recovery when Jillian’s dogs were once again need to help but the recent snow storm brought Wolff back into Jillian’s life when he needed to ensure she was safe, having stranded himself over night. Working together to locate and rescue the missing child, our couple find themselves acting on their attraction, with the hope of something more. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

Once again, there is a large ensemble cast of colorful and familiar secondary and supporting characters, many of whom we met in the original series. We are introduced to eleven year old, Hayley Vallard, as well as several FBI agents, law enforcement, and Hayley’s uncle Grant Vallard. The requisite evil has many faces.

HIGH INTENSITY is a story of betrayal and greed, search and rescues, family and relationships, acceptance and love. The premise is detailed, captivating and dramatic; the characters are animated and spirited ; the romance is spicy and tender.

TALK WICKED TO ME (The Wickeds: Dark Knights 6) by Melissa Foster

TALK WICKED TO ME (The Wickeds: Dark Knights at Bayside 6) by Melissa Foster-review

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / B&N / KOBO / Google Play /

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 30, 2024

Between expanding his veterinary practice, commitments with his motorcycle club, and international travel plans, Baz Wicked has little time for anything else. When a beautiful, frantic pregnant woman barges into his office for help with her dog, he senses something is off, and he’s drawn to her in ways he shouldn’t be. But now he can’t get Emerson Lockhart out of his head.

Having a baby wasn’t in Emerson’s plans, but neither was tragically losing her parents more than a decade ago, when she was only a teenager. After all she’s been through, leaving the chaos of New York City and moving to the peaceful small town of Bayside while on the cusp of giving birth was a piece of cake. She’s used to handling things on her own, but when an unexpected emergency brings the charming vet—who makes her remember she’s more than a mother-to-be—back into her life, she’s grateful for his help but wary of his friendship.

Emerson knows how quickly the people she cares about can be stolen away, and she never wants to experience that devastation again. But the fiercely loyal, protective biker isn’t easily dissuaded. Passion ignites and affections run deep, but when their pasts collide and Baz’s demons are revealed, will it douse their flames, or can true love prevail?

••••••••

REVIEW:  TALK WICKED TO ME is the sixth instalment in Melissa Foster’s contemporary, adult The Wickeds: Dark Knights at Bayside erotic, romance series set in the author’s numerous interconnected series. This is thirty-four year old, veterinarian Dr. Baxter ‘Baz’ Wicked, and editor / single mother Emerson Lockhart’s story line. TALK WICKED TO ME can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary. Several characters cross over from, or are mentioned from the other series.

Told from several omniscient third person perspectives including Baz and Emerson TALK WICKED TO ME follows the building relationship between our story line couple. Emerson Lockhart is nine months pregnant, single and her dog is in need of emergency care. Enter Dr. Baz Wicked, a veterinarian, a member of the Dark Knights MC, and the man with whom Emerson will fall in love but within hours, Emerson would find herself giving birth on the side of the road with only Dr. Baz Wicked around to help. From the outset Baz takes control of the situation, and without family or support, Emerson will become ensconced in the Wicked family dynamic, at times fearing for the direction of her future. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Baz and Emerson, and the potential fall-out as Baz has volunteered for a mission overseas, and Emerson’s past returns in the hopes of making things right.

The world building is detailed and meticulous, following several paths including a recap of some previous events, and tight family connections; Emerson’s losses and need for forgiveness; the Wicked family’s grief and their need to pay it forward; and the possibility of heart break for our story line couple. The large extended Wicked family becomes both a curse and a blessing for our story line heroine, at times, her entire life controlled by the over protective nature of the family but Emerson needs help, and in this, the Wickeds are quick to jump in when they are needed the most.

The relationship between Baz and Emerson is one of immediate attraction but Emerson is alone and pregnant, and Baz is determined to become guardian and protector of the woman with whom he will fall in love. Falling quickly for our story line heroine, Baz finds himself at a crossroads when his time to go overseas may threaten the fragility of their growing love. The $ex scenes are intimate and provocative without the use of over the top sexually graphic language and text.

Once again, as per Melissa Foster’s style of writing, there is a large ensemble cast of familiar, friendly, and helpful secondary and supporting characters. Some of the previous story line premises are addressed, in an effort to keep both the reader and our heroine aware of the background and histories.

TALK WICKED TO ME is a story of family and friendships, relationships and love, grief and understanding. The premise is intriguing, captivating and inviting yet I had to question the author’s turn of events regarding Baz’s trip overseas knowing the potential dangers for terrorism and violence but such is the nature of the ‘fictional’ story line. The romance is seductive, edgy and passionate; the characters are spirited and energetic. TALK WICKED TO ME ends on a cliff hanger-you have been warned.

💚☠️Blade (RBMC: Dallas TX 4) by Kristine Allen-review💚☠️

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / B&N / KOBO / Chapters Indigo /

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 31, 2024

Blade

I’m Finley, but no one has called me that in a long time. My brothers know me as Blade and that suits me fine. When they need the really dirty work done, they call me in. There’s a darkness in me that has no issue inflicting pain. Sometimes I think I crave it.

Despite my brothers falling like flies, I certainly don’t believe in love or relationships—at least not for me. Everyone believed I moved to Texas to watch over Sage, the truth was I was running. I ran from something that terrified me more than staring down the barrel of a gun.

Eliska.

She’d been through hell and she deserved better than me. I couldn’t give her what she wanted so I left. Except she just showed up in Texas with storm cloud eyes full of determination. Danger is looming. Death and destruction are closing in. Things with the club are about to turn upside down and we’re going to make some dangerous enemies. The last thing I need are distractions in the form of a golden-haired goddess.

I will only hurt her—break her. Yet, I’ll cave if I can’t get her to leave. I’ll claim her as mine and that will likely destroy us both.

•••••

REVIEW:BLADE by Kristine Allen is the fourth instalment in Kristine Allen’s contemporary, adult RBMC: DALLAS TX dark, erotic, paranormal romance series, set in the multi-authored RBMC world. This is Finley aka Blade, and Eliska’s story line. BLADE can be read as a stand alone but for back story and cohesion, I recommend reading books one and two TAMING RAPTOR and RAPTOR’S REVENGE.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there WILL BE triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Blade and Eliska) following several timelines BLADE focuses on the return of the woman Blade left behind. Blade doesn’t do relationships , and believing he had failed the woman he loves as a sister (Sage), the return of Eliska places a target on the RBMC: Dallas but all is not well in the world of the RBMC, and with several chapters targeted and all but decimated, the Dallas chapter find themselves at a crossroads when the survivors announce a change in direction for the future.

The world building focuses on betrayal and loss as the remaining RBMC members must come to terms with a possible betrayal, and their future going forward. As the death and destruction destroy the numerous chapters of the RBMC, a new focus and a new future may be the only option remaining.

The relationship between Blade and Eliska is one of second chances but Blade believes he doesn’t deserve love; punishment is his way of proving he is alive, with an ability to feel but when the woman he loves is targeted, Blade must come to terms with his heritage, and the secrets that will be revealed. The $ex scenes are intimate yet aggressive.

There is a large ensemble cast of familiar and dynamic secondary and supporting many of whom we have met in the interconnected world of the RBMC including Raptor and Sage (Taming Raptor / Raptor’s Revenge), and characters from RBMC: Ankeny.

BLADE is a story of betrayal and vengeance, secrets and lies, acceptance and forgiveness, and the supernatural. The fast paced premise is dramatic, captivating, and dark; the romance is impassioned; the characters are broken yet determined.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 17, 2024

He’s my favorite enemy. The one that makes me burn hotter with every fight. My adrenaline rush.

As The Ferryman’s hit woman, it’s my job to take out each of the men that form the Sinacore Alliance. All worthy opponents. But it’s Gunn Sinclair that gets me hot and bothered.

Huge and sexy as hell, with dimples almost as deadly as the knives he wields, I find myself looking forward to our encounters.

But when he follows me to New Orleans on a mission to take me out, all hell breaks loose between us and the flames rage out of control.

With the lines between enemies and lovers obliterated , we are left with a choice to make. …kiss or kill.

••••••

REVIEW: SAVAGE RULE is the sixth instalment in Aidee Jaimes’ contemporary, adult THE SEVEN DEADLY SINACORES dark, erotic, crime world series. This is Alliance member Gunner ‘Gunn’ Sinclair, and assassin Scarlet Black’s story line. SAVAGE RULE can be read as a stand alone but for back story and cohesion, I recommend reading the series in order as there is an ongoing premise throughout.

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

SOME BACKGROUND: All is not well in the criminal underworld, several of the men in charge of the most powerful families in America have been murdered, and there is a connection for all to a murder from the past. The survivors, headed by Luca Sinacore, have formed a group known as the Sinacore Alliance, in an effort to take down the person(s) responsible for the death and destruction of family and friends.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Gunn and Scarlet ) SAVAGE RULE focuses on the building but forbidden relationship between our story line couple. Scarlet Black is an assassin who, on orders from a person known as The Ferryman, is methodically killing anyone with a connection to the man in charge but Scarlett’s latest assignment has our heroine struggling with orders in the face of questionable validation, and the appearance of the man with whom Scarlet will fall in love. Enter Gunner Sinclair, a member of the Sinacore Alliance, and a man who is determined to protect Scarlett with his life. Sentenced to death by the Alliance, Scarlet finds herself facing her executioner, the man who stirs something inside Scarlet she long thought dead and gone. In hiding, our couple find themselves reconsidering the future in the face of their own betrayal of the people in charge.

The world building follows the forbidden relationship between our story line couple. For months, an assassin, working on behalf of the man known as The Ferryman , has been systematically killing anyone with connections to the Ferryman’s past, a past mired in death and destruction of someone he loved. Scarlet Black owes her life to The Ferryman but in the wake of some ambiguous targets, Scarlet begins to questions The Ferryman’s decisions. Gunner Sinclair, Luca’s right hand man and best friend, knows that to stop the killings he must stop the woman known as Scarlet Black but Gunner sees something beneath the cold façade of a contracted killer, a woman who is hurting for sins of the past.

The relationship between Gunn and Scarlet is one of the forbidden. Scarlett is Gunner Sinclair’s target, and Gunner is Scarlet Black’s mark but their mutual objectives find themselves re-evaluating their option, their futures in the face of their own demise. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate.

The secondary and supporting characters are limited. We see the return of Lucan Sinacore, his wife Carina; The Ferryman aka Gideon Black, and Maise Cameron.

SAVAGE RULE is a story of betrayal and hurt, power and control, family and relationships, forgiveness and love. The premise is intriguing, emotional and haunting; the characters are animated, determined and desperate; the romance is thought provoking and spirted. SAVAGE RULE ends on a bit of a cliff hanger-you have been warned.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 31, 2024

Fear what hides in the shadows …

Skel:

It’s supposed to be a simple job—a request from my new president to scout a potential business.

The strip club in Vegas is nothing special, as routine as any other in the City of Sin. But when I walk in the door, I find a curvy blonde fighting off an overeager, handsy customer. I step in, sweeping her into my arms and issuing a warning to anyone trying to force themselves on a woman. Lacey isn’t grateful. She’s pissed.

When I leave, I can’t stop thinking about her. She intrigues me. It only takes a few seconds to realize she’s just the type of woman I would fall for. Lacey is heaven on the eyes and hell on the heart. She’s wrong in every way: too young, troubled, on the opposite side of the law, and hiding a secret that could shatter the new club I joined. I should stay away.

But I can’t. I have to follow her home, ensuring she’s safe. Something isn’t right when I park my bike. Busting down her door, I stop a vicious attack, saving Lacey’s life. Her enemy? It’s the same one my club has declared war against.

Now, Lacey is mine to protect, and I won’t let anyone harm her. She’s got secrets, but I do, too.

It’s almost Halloween. All the spooky, creepy things that play on the devil’s night? I command them.

She has no idea how vicious I’ll become to end every threat against her and the club. I’m unleashing the monster within, and he’s got a ravenous appetite.

••••••••

REVIEW: RATTLIN’ BONES is the fourth instalment in Nikki Landis’ contemporary, adult RBMC: Las Vegas erotic, slightly paranormal, dark, MC romance series, set in the multi-authored RBMC worlds. This is forty year old Brandon ‘Skeletor’ Myers, and twenty-five year old Lacey Maxwell’s story line. RATTLIN’ BONES can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

NOTE: RATTLIN’ BONES and the RBMC : Las Vegas crosses over with RBMC: Tonopah.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Skel and Lacey) following two time lines RATTLIN’ BONES focuses on the building but struggling relationship between our story line couple. Approximately three years earlier Brandon ‘Skeletor’ Myers found Lacey Maxwell, daughter of Judge Curtis Maxwell, zip tied and left in a local cemetery but their ensuing hot and heavy relationship ends when Skel is forced to walk away only to find himself pulled back into our heroine’s life, three years later, when the past is determined to make Lacey pay for the sins of her father.

The world building focuses on dual timelines in which the RBMC is determined to seek vengeance against the Bladed Serpents, for the murder of one of their own, and in doing so, take down the man targeting our story line heroine.

The relationship between Skel and Lacey is tempestuous in the wake of Brandon aka Skel walking away from our story line heroine. Skel has never forgotten the woman who now controls his heart but in order to safeguard the woman he loves, Skeletor much choose a different path going forward. The $ex scenes are provocative and intense.

The secondary and supporting characters include Lacey’s father Judge Curtis Maxwell, as well as RBMC member Manic, Creature, and MC president Maddog. The requisite evil has many faces.

RATTLIN’ BONES is a story of vengeance, murder and madness, acceptance and love. The fast paced premise is entertaining and haunting but felt rushed-the three year jump in timelines offers no discernable information; the romance is seductive; the characters are determined and animated.

Salem
Spending the night in a haunted farmhouse to prove myself to the Hell on Heelz MC? No problem. I live for the dark and dangerous. What I didn’t count on was Heresy—the brooding, tattooed Seville Slayer—deciding to keep watch over me. I don’t need his protection, but the tension between us is impossible to ignore. This place is full of secrets, and so is he.

Heresy
I don’t believe in curses, but when Salem—a witchy, fearless Hell on Heelz prospect—takes on a dare to stay in a haunted farmhouse, I can’t stay away. She’s trouble, and I should keep my distance, but something about her has me breaking all my rules. One night in this cursed house could change everything—if we make it out alive.

This Halloween, sparks fly as dark forces—and even darker desires—threaten to consume us.

•••••

REVIEW:BIKER BEWITCH is the fourth instalment in Morgan Jane Mitchell’s contemporary, adult HELL ON HEELZ erotic, MC romance series. This is Seville Slayer MC member Hunter ‘Heresy’ Harris, and Hell on Heelz prospect and self proclaimed witch Salem’s story line. BIKER BEWITCH can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

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

Told from dual first person perspectives (Heresy and Salem) BIKER BEWITCH follows the building but forbidden relationship between our story line couple. The Seville Slayer MC and the Hell on Heelz MC were once enemy clubs but since the relationship between the Seville Slayers MC enforcer Boiler, and Heelz member Tank, the ‘war’ has simmered but for a few die-hard members wanting to keep the status quo. With the approach of Halloween, the Heelz have chosen a haunted farmhouse for Salem’s initiation, where in she will come to terms with the past,creating a future for herself and our story line hero. Enter Seville Slayer MC member Heresy, the man with whom Salem will fall in love. Heresy has watched our heroine from afar but refuses to let her spend the night alone in a haunted house. One night together leads to something more, something that will threaten the stability and détente between the warring MCs.

The world building focuses on the past, the present and the future; on Salem’s ability to wield a little bit of dark magic, and on the vengeance aimed at our story line couple.

There is a large ensemble cast of questionable and colorful secondary and supporting characters including members from both the Seville Slayers and Hell on Heelz MCs. The requisite evil has a familiar face.

BIKER BEWITCH is a slightly paranormal story of secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, obedience and rules, acceptance and love. The character driven premise is dramatic and haunting; the romance is spicy; the characters are determined and spirited.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 29 ,2024

Over the years, Joshua has watched most of his family fall in love. He and his cousin Nate are the last single Shaws standing, and while Nate’s seemingly content to stay that way, Josh wants the kind of love his sister, parents, and grandparents have found. In the meantime, he’s alone. And lonely. Particularly since, until that special someone comes along, Josh believes certain…ahem…intimacies are worth waiting for.

Sophia Montgomery is still reeling from the unexpected passing of her beloved father when, in her grief, she texts his old phone number—and gets a reply. The person on the other end, Josh Shaw, is sympathetic, funny, and kind…everything Sophia needs right now. And when her grieving mother suddenly focuses on Sophia’s dating life, it’s not long before Josh goes from text friend to fake boyfriend to get her mom off her back.

But the first time Josh and Sophia meet in person? Well…there’s nothing fake about their instant attraction.
Giddy with newfound feelings, the young couple isn’t prepared for the bombs about to go off in their lives—including revelations about Sophia’s father and a Shaw family tragedy that rocks Josh’s entire world.

No one ever said life would be perfect. But if Josh and Sophia rely on each other to get through their biggest challenges so far as a couple, their love could prove more than perfect enough.

•••••

REVIEW: PERFECT ENOUGH is the eighth instalment in Kelly Elliott’s contemporary adult, LOVE IN MONTANA erotic, romance series, a spin off from the author’s Meet Me in Montana series. This is twenty-two year old firefighter/ rancher Joshua Shaw, and dance instructor Sophia Montgomery’s story line. PERFECT ENOUGH can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary but for back story and cohesion I recommend reading the series in order.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Josh and Sophia ) PERFECT ENOUGH follows the building romance and relationship between firefighter / rancher Joshua Shaw, and dance instructor Sophia Montgomery. Months earlier, Sophia’s father died, leaving a grieving young woman who wanted to know why. Almost daily, Sophia would text her father’s cell number, just to talk about her struggles and pain.Joshua Shaw works part time as a firefighter but having lost his phone, the captain set him up with a new phone and new number, a number that would bring our story line couple together. Texting and talking as ‘friends’ would quickly build into something more when Sophia needed a plus one for her cousin’s wedding, agreeing to a fake relationship with our story line hero. As the line between real and fake begins to blur, tragedy strikes the Shaw family, and Sophia discovers the truth about her father’s death, ultimately finding herself on the receiving end of Joshua’s pain and grief.

The world building follows several paths including Sophia’s career turns, her mother’s need to more forward; Josh’s life as a firefighter vs his life on the ranch, and the loss of a beloved family member Who has left a lifelong impression on our story line hero.

The relationship between Josh and Sophia begins with a text meant for someone else. Sophia struggles in the wake of her father’s death, needing someone to talk to as her own grief continues to spiral. Josh has watched from the sidelines as his siblings and cousins found their own happily ever afters, while he and his cousin Nate never thought they would find the one. As the relationship between Sophia and Josh grows into something more, heartbreak and pain push Sophia to the side as Josh battles the demons in his head. The $ex scenes are limited but passionate.

Once again,there is a large ensemble cast of colorful and familiar secondary and supporting characters most of whom we have met in the previous story lines and original series, and at every Shaw Family game night. We are reintroduced to Josh cousin’s Nate, and the bane of his existence Haven Larson.

PERFECT ENOUGH is a story of loss and grief, struggle and heart break, family and relationships, forgiveness and love. The character driven premise is emotional and captivating ; the romance is seductive and impassioned; the characters are charismatic and charming.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 29,2024

As the middle son, Trey Blackburn dedicates his days to the family business, working to ensure that they remain at the top of the saddelbred industry. His time away from the farm is another story. Not one to get tied up in a long-term relationship, he’s the love ‘em and leave ‘em sort of guy. But Trey’s hesitation to commit might be deeper than not wanting to put in the time and effort. His reluctance may have more to do with the blond beauty who just blew back into town and the things they left in the past that have been neither forgiven nor forgotten.

Holland Rhodes may not have been born into the Blackburn name, but she was once considered part of the family. Having a less-than-ideal home life, Holland spent as much time as she could with the Blackburns, the quintessential dynasty full of love and southern hospitality. Dubbed an honorary member, Holland thought their connection would last a lifetime, but one shocking revelation changed everything.

Having left Shelbyville for a fresh start, Holland has limited her time back in Kentucky for the past decade, avoiding both of her families—the one into which she was born and the one into which she was welcomed. But the death of her father and the uncertain future of the family business has brought Holland back to face her past, one Blackburn at a time.

With old feelings reignited and ready to move their relationship forward, everything crashes to a halt when tragedy strikes. Their painful history in danger of repeating itself, Trey and Holland may find that even true love can’t overcome the darkest days.

REVIEW:THE TRYST is the third instalment in Sawyer Bennett’s contemporary, adult BLUEGRASS EMPIRES: The Blackburns erotic, romance series. This is thirty-three year old rancher Trey Blackburn, and business consultant Holland Rhodes’ story line. THE TRYST can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Trey and Holland) using present day and memories from the past, THE TRYST follows the rekindling relationship between our story line couple. Eleven years earlier Trey and Holland proclaimed their love for one another but kept their relationship a secrets from family and friends. Life, and everything it had to offer, pushed Holland out of Trey’s life, and in the ensuing years Holland moved to Zurich to start a new life. Fast forward to present day, the death of her father brings Holland back to Shelbyville, Kentucky where she will face her past in the guise of Trey Blackburn. Trey has never stopped loving our story line heroine but the heart break of the past continues to push at Holland and memories she cannot forget . Hoping for a new start, Trey starts a slow seduction of the woman he loves only to find himself facing an uncertain future when agonizing guilt and grief all but shut down our story line hero.

The world building continues to focus on the Blackburn family: their lives, their loves, their history and the feud. Holland’s life at home is not what the Blackburn family knew it to be, and in this, our heroine is struggling with which path to take, going forward.

The relationship between Trey and Holland is one of second chances but someone else is vying for our heroine’s affections. Trey is determined to reclaim everything he lost when he broke Holland’s heart but reclaiming comes with more sorrow and grief than he could have ever imagined. The $ex scenes are passionate and seductive without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful, familiar and charismatic secondary and supporting characters including all of the previous story line couples, as well as Trey’s brother Wade, and their parents Miranda and Tommy.

THE TRYST is a story of secrets and lies, perceived betrayal and guilt, family and friendships, forgiveness and love. The character driven premise is emotional, heart breaking and raw; the characters are determined and dynamic; the romance is captivating.
