“... a fast paced, gripping, intense romance that ensnared my attention immediately and kept me riveted until the very end.” ~ Anna’s Bookshelf

ADDY

I thought the suffocating loneliness of the last two years was bad, but then I was sent to Lakeridge Psychiatric Facility.

On the outside it’s disguised as helpful brochures and friendly doctors who have vowed to help, but the real truth is just below the surface, lurking in the shadows, and haunting my dreams.

At night he comes–taunting and abusing me. Bending me to his will, and making sure no one believes me.

That is until Dylan.

I can touch him and see him, but if my mind is capable of creating such horrors like my nightmares, can I trust that he's real?

DYLAN

I’m no stranger to breaking rules and living on the edge. I guess it kind of comes with the territory of being a rockstar. But when I’m forced to attend Lakridge to serve my time and get sober, I’m met with the one thing I know I can’t have.

Addy.

I know we don’t have a chance, not unless I want to get kicked out of here, made to finish my sentence in a proper prison. Still, something about her calls to me.

There is more to the marks on her pale skin than the doctors say, and her nightmares seem to be a little too real.

Digging deeper into the madness, I’m left to question, can nightmares really leave scars? Or am I becoming mad too?

I'm no angel.
Far from it.
I'm the disappointment of the family.
The one they try to hide.
The failure.
The nuisance.
I have the rich family - you know the one. Parents dripping in gold, the perfect sister, and the loyal brother.
As far as they're concerned, I'm the accident they wish they had done something about.
A rebel.
Always causing trouble.
That's fine by me, I'm happy to be anything other than what they expect.
Until, that is, my father needs my help.
Well, okay, I practically force his hand, but it's my chance to prove I'm good for something.
He needs information on a local biker club.
He wants me to go in. To play them. To get what he needs.
A club full of hot bikers? A girl isn't going to say no.
I take on the challenge.
Go in there and destroy their little club.
Sounds like a god damned blast to me.
They won't know what hit them.
Or perhaps, I won't know what hit me...
I guess we'll find out.

Author Bio

People have often asked me why I don’t write about my adventures raising six sons. I have to admit that I prefer to write their stories as fiction because no one believes the stuff they put me through if I tell it as fact. In fiction I can clean my boys up a little when I like them and make them the heroes of my stories and if they’ve pissed me off, I can make them the villains. It’s been a running joke around our house that mom will put you in her book and kill you off on page fifty, but some know they’re the smelly corpse discovered in the ditch at the very beginning of the story. Heck, it’s not even a threat anymore. My grandkids are begging to be put in my books and even telling me how I can kill them off. I mean really, where’s the threat in that? We put the fun in dysfunctional, what can I say? I have long conversations with my children and grandchildren about blowing things up and how to get rid of bodies. The holidays are never boring around our house.

Willow’s Retreat makes my eighth novel. I have been writing since I was ten years old, but I’ve only been published since 2017. I’m married to my own romantic hero, and we’ve lived several romance tropes from friends-to-lovers reunion beginning, to our second chance romance, blended family romantic adventure. After thirty years of marriage, six sons and twenty-one grandchildren we are still writing our romance book.

Blurb:

I move in the shadow of death. I’m the villain. The monster everyone fears.

I’ve been born into a life of depravity and ruthlessness. It’s kill or be killed.

Until her…

The moment she smiles at me, my world changes.

I keep coming back. Watching her brings me stolen moments of peace.

Until I can’t stay away…

She doesn’t know who I am, that she’s flirting with death.

Slowly we fall deeper until she loves the lies I’ve told her.

The danger that follows me, creeps closer and the façade I’ve built comes crashing down around us.

And lovers turn to enemies.

But there’s no going back for me.

I want her. I will have her.

She doesn’t have a choice.

STANDALONE: Romance Suspense full-length novel.

            

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Y'all! Carson Koslov just stole my heart from his brother, Alexei! I wasn't expecting to fall in love with him like that, but I did! I highly recommend Ruthless Saints!

I don't want to give anything away because I feel this story would be enjoyed best by going in blind. Just know that this book gave me ALL the feels! 

It's emotional, it's intense, it's heartbreaking at times but it's also what makes it SO freaking good!

The anguish felt by both characters just bleeds from the pages. 

I have been a fan of this world from the beginning and each story just solidifies my love for these characters, this world and this author! The characters are connected but the stories are not. Each are complete standalones and can be read on their own and won't leave you feeling like you're missing out on something.

New Release + Review: My Reward by Jennifer Hanks

Title: My Reward

Series: Elite Securities #3

Author: Jennifer Hanks

Genre: Romantic Suspense

Release Date: June 17, 2021

BLURB

In Noah Striker’s world, control is everything.

Throughout his life, he’s learned the ramifications of trusting another person and refuses to be seen as weak or vulnerable again. The only person he wants the world to see is the hard, unbending man he’s become.

But that all changes when he’s assigned to protect Beth Sullivan.

For four years, he watches quietly from a distance, never understanding his need to keep her safe or the loyalty he feels, but when another threatens her, keeping his distance is no longer an option.

Neither is denying the passion that’s always lingered between them.

With an enemy on the hunt, Noah Striker will face the fight of his life.

But can he relinquish the control he’s always believed saved him in order to save her?

EXCERPT

Standing in front of her, I waited but realized she wasn’t going to look at me until I encouraged her. “Beth.”

She slowly raised her head, but her eyes only met mine for a brief second before looking over my shoulder. “Yes.”

Her voice was quiet, so quiet it was hard to hear her, and I knew a lot of that had to do with her shyness, but I also recognized fear when I saw it, so I lowered my voice. “I’m Striker. I’ll be taking you to the safe house.”

She swallowed hard and glanced at me before looking away. “Are you my bodyguard or something?”

No, I wasn’t a bodyguard. I’d never been a bodyguard, nor did I want to be. I wasn’t the kind of man who cared enough to watch over someone. My job was to drop her at the safe house and leave. Brody would assign someone to watch over her. I was a tracker with a fucking job to do, and that job didn’t leave me time for much else.

When I didn’t answer, she slowly shifted her eyes back to mine. I held her stare, her green eyes burning into mine and causing a pain in my chest I’d never felt before. “Striker?” she said quietly.

“Yeah,” I responded, but when my voice was gruff, I cleared my throat. “What?”

“Is your job to keep me safe?” she asked quietly.

I exhaled loudly and shook my head slowly. That was not my job. But then why did the idea of someone hurting her fill me with an inexplicable amount of rage?

When she averted her eyes, I cursed to myself. I hated losing her eyes. Wanting them back, I said, “Beth.” She slowly lifted her head and met my eyes. Calmness washed over me almost immediately, and nearly without my consent, I nodded. “Yeah, I’m gonna keep you safe.”

And I was going to make sure she never felt fear again.

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

If you haven't visited New Hope yet, stop what you are doing and go pick up a Jennifer Hanks novel!

My Reward has me wanting to go back and re-read all of her books all over again. 

Striker is closed off, blunt, kind of - okay totally - a butt and doesn't trust women. He  took on the task of watching over Beth, whose life was in danger. For four years he's silently kept watch over her. 

Beth is shy, meek and has scars both internally as well as externally. She's been through hell and back and is now ready to take the steps she needs to get her life back. 

Until factors make Beth a target one again. 

Let me just say the angst between these two had my stomach in knots. I know I say this after every book, but I looove these two!

Then there's Jack DiMarco! Anytime he pops up, I have myself bracing for tears because I know he's going to say something that will hit me in the feels. I keep hoping that Jennifer Hanks will write his story one day!

If you couldn't tell by now, I highly recommend this book! All of her books are interconnected and worth reading but don't feel like you have to read them to fully get each one. They stand perfectly on their own as well as reading them together. .
