I was pretty stoked to get a copy of this book. I have read most of her books now. Yup, I'm a fan, even if they were not all 5 star reads.
This book too me a moment to get into. It wasn't so easy to understand how it came about, but once the story got to a place where I was finally invested, it didn't stop. The twists of these women's lives and how they all got tangled up together turned out to be methodical and I devoured it. I could definitely sense what the author wanted the reader to feel in those moments. 
A decent book that I am sure most of you will enjoy!

I don’t want you.
You mean nothing to me. 

I never loved you. 

I turned my words into swords.

And I cut her down. 

Shoved the blade in and watched her fall. 

I said I’d never hurt her, and I did. 

Years later, I’m faced with all the little lies, the untruths, the false realities, the damage I inflicted, when all I wanted was to indulge my obsession. 

Lavender Waters is the princess in the tower. Even her name is the thing fairy tales are made of. 

I used to be the one who saved her.
Over and over again. 

But I don’t want to save her anymore. 

I just want to pretend the lies are still the truth.

I read the synopsis of this one and had to read it!
I wasn't disappointed either, on the contrary!!
I was thrilled. I was duped, because at one point I was convinced I was right but nope. I was so happy with the outcome, it made the story even better than I had hoped.
Fast-paced, thrilling, all of the things you want in a suspenseful story. This is one that will be on my brain and recommended to many!!
There really is nothing like reading a twisted family tale!

DOUBLE FREEBIE ALERT ....

Reblogged from Hopeless Romantic:

 

 

 

 

Love #Enemies2Lovers stories with smart women?
The OHellNo series has two freebies on ALL platforms!
 
 
OH HENRY
SHE’S GOT ME BY THE FOOTBALLS…
My name is Henry Walton, and though I’ve been called many things throughout my life—tree trunk, moose, walrus—I am now six foot five, solid muscle, and the hottest defensive end in the NFL college draft. This is the moment I’ve been waiting for: fame, women, and glory.
 
Just one problem: I’m suddenly in a bad slump. And it started the moment I got dumped by Elle, the nerdy goddess with thick glasses, a smokin’ hot body, and a genius IQ.
So what gives? We only dated for a few weeks, and it’s not like I’ve missed her. (Much.) Regardless, all the facts point to one conclusion. Elle is my lucky nerd-charm.
 
Call me superstitious, but I have to get her back before I lose everything. Even if she’s the last girl I should want and she now hates my guts.
 
 
 
DIGGING A HOLE
HE’S THE MEANEST BOSS EVER.
SHE’S THE SWEET SHY INTERN.
THEY’RE ABOUT TO WRECK EACH OTHER CRAZY.
 
My name is Sydney Lucas. I am smart, deathly shy, and one-hundred percent determined to make my own way in the world. Which is why I jumped at the chance to intern for Mr. Nick Brooks despite his reputation. After ten failed interviews at other companies, he was the only one offering. Plus, everyone says he knows his stuff and surely a man as stunningly handsome as him can’t be “the devil incarnate,” right? Wrong.
 
Oh…that man. That freakin’ man has got to go! I’ve been on the job one week, and he’s insulted my mother, wardrobe shamed me, and managed to make me cry. Twice. Underneath that stone-cold, beautiful face is the evilest human being ever.
But I’m not going to quit. Oh no. For once in my life, I’ve got to make a stand. Only every time I open my mouth, I can’t quite seem to muster the courage. Perhaps my revenge needs to come in another form: destroying him quietly.
 
Because I’ve got a secret. I’m not really just an intern, and Sydney Lucas isn’t my real name.

— feeling evolution

 

I won this on Goodreads and was thrilled. This is a book getting a lot of hype right now so I am hopeful! Even though I am not into gaming or am a gamer.
You really don't need to know anything about games to read this. That may be a theme, but it's not the theme. It's really a story of friendship spanning most of their lives. 
So now let's get into the thick of it....
I am in the unpopular group with this book. I see so many of you love it, even named it as your Book Of The Year, and I'm like, 'Did we read the same thing?!" I wasn't invested like they were. Sam and Sadie were not my ideal characters. I didn't fall in love with them. I didn't connect at all. Then with about 50 pages left, the story finally came full circle.
This is one of those books where if you DNF or don't read all the way through, you may not like the story, or even get it.
I gave it the rating that I did because it wasn't for me, but there were a couple of special moments in the story. I especially loved one scene that wasn't even real, it was a game moment that was so beautiful.....
So I may not be like most and love it, but I think you should read it and see for yourself.

Poem: Time Bomb by Freda Mans

— feeling angry

I'm feeling a snag, an overload

I feel like I am going to explode

Yet I shove it down, deep inside

I have to fake it and pretend it died

Tick, Tick, Boom!

Don't say you weren't warned

Wait for it, the impending storm

When this is done, nothing left to say

You best believe I will get my way

I'm quiet for now, as you can see

But you really should have never messed with me.

FREEBIE ALERT: MATCHMAKING A BILLIONAIRE BY ANGELA DENISE

I used to believe in what we do at Mayberry Matchmakers, but now? Love is just another four-letter word.


Too bad my grandmother hasn’t gotten the memo. When tech billionaire Rory Byrne approaches us, wanting to develop the matchmaking app my sister and I dreamed up (and Nana shot down), she jumps at the chance. My grandmother is nothing if not opportunistic.


Of course, there’s a catch. She’ll only do it if Rory lets us matchmake him the old-fashioned way.


He’s going to say no.


Please God, let him say no.


The last thing I want to do is matchmake an entitled rich jerk...especially one who looks like sin and talks a good game.


***


Rory


I’ve screwed up in love a few times, but I never screw up in business. Mayberry Matchmakers has the idea for something amazing, and I have the money and the experience to make it come to life.


I should deny Nana Mayberry’s condition. If I let them matchmake me, it’ll be all over the news, and making headlines has never interested me…especially not after the personal betrayal that nearly broke me. But I’m having trouble caring about what I should do, because Bryn Mayberry is smart, snarky, and not the slightest bit impressed with me.


Actually, this may be Mayberry Matchmakers’ easiest job yet.

He calls me perfect.

His flawless pet.

His good girl.

Broken down and wounded by my emotionally neglectful ex, I wanted someone to tell me I was good enough.

Then, I stumbled into a new job with a boss who brings me to my knees—literally. He has me do things a real secretary would never do.

Emerson Grant tells me I’m more than just good enough.

I’m worthy of his praise.

There are a million reasons why I should stay away. The owner of the Salacious Players’ Club is not just my new boss, he’s twice my age.

And my ex-boyfriend’s father.

With him, I am treasured. I am adored. I am his.

I’m a good girl, but I’m falling for the wrong man.

Emerson Grant knows what he wants—

And he wants me.

So how far will I go to hear his approval?

FREE ROMANCE NOVEL!
Train Wreck by Elise Faber is FREE!

Available on All Platforms

train wreck
noun

1. A chaotic or disastrous situation.
2. An utter catastrophe or mess.
3. A devastating calamity or source of trouble.
4. Pepper O’Brien.
As the daughter of a famed film producer, Pepper O’Brien is Hollywood royalty.

Also, her life sucks.

Because, unfortunately for her, the old adage is true: money can’t buy everything—including grace, true love, or the ability to not screw up every single opportunity her life has brought her.

After her latest disaster, Pepper moves across the country to start over but, as usual, her life has other plans, namely in the form of Derek Cashette, her former teenage crush and now ridiculously handsome friend of her older brother.

Derek is determined to salvage the train wreck of her life and Pepper’s determined not to let him. Her life is her problem and, dammit, why can’t she be her own hero?

But sometimes fate has other plans. Or maybe it’s hormones. Especially when her rescuer comes with a killer smile, a chest Thor would be jealous of, and a butt that any girl just wants to—

His World. His Rules. My Heart.

 

He's a criminal with no conscience.

The whisper of a name. 

A faceless stranger...

A man content to dwell in the shadows of his underworld.

 

I'm the light to his dark: an investigative reporter intent on exposing dangerous men like him.

We were worlds apart until I caught his attention.

Now I'm his captive, kept at the whim of a devil with no kindness or morality.

 

I may be an innocent, but I have my secrets too.

For years I've been fighting a private war with the illegal drugs trade, with the cartel responsible for murdering my brother.

I'm closer to revenge than I've ever been until his duplicity tears my life apart.

 

Ours is a relationship borne of hate, but we can't deny the fire that rages between us.


Now I have two choices: Save his soul or lose myself to his darkness forever.

From a dark, magic-ravaged world comes an enthralling new fantasy romance series. Five brothers, last of an ancient Alpha bloodline, each bound by fire and blood to their majestic dragons.

 

Captive in a dragon lord’s lair. No memory. Stripped bare.

 

I’mya awakens to find herself the property of Nyro—a rare and powerful Alpha bonded to a monstrous dragon. Like the other women in the lair, her only purpose is to satiate his every fantasy, but the beautiful omega is hiding a dark secret—even from herself.

 

From the first explosive encounter with Nyro, her incredible power is unleashed.  

 

His carnal desires feed the fire of her magic.

 

Nyro’s captivation with her turns to possession, and I’mya becomes more than a plaything for him.

 

But as shards of her memories puzzle back together, her mind finally unveils the compelling truth.

 

A purpose much more sinister than pleasure.

 

Passion. Obsession. Betrayal.

 

I’mya must fulfill her quest, regardless of the cost. Nyro has conquered her body, but if he discovers the truth behind her presence in his lair… it is her life he will take.

 

A LAIR SO SINFUL is the first book in an adult fantasy romance standalone series. This story includes romance of a dark nature and a HEA.
