Review: 
Ms Tee Back At Her Best December 12, 2013
By Jenny (Amazon review)
This is an author I adore and her novels always have me either sobbing or laughing, at times both! This start to a series was no exception!

Mairi is a girl who grew up knowing what she wants! What she wants is the HAE, the fact that she wants that with a Greek man, who needs to be a billionaire to boot, is all down to Harlequin romances that she was read as a young girl! I think we can all relate although my wish was always a handsome Sheikh or a hunky Italian! In walks two men who both fit the bill! The dreamy Damen Leventis and Ioniko Vlahos. So long as Mairi follows her lessons, which are the headers for the chapters complete with fantastic editor notes, what can go wrong! Answer, a lot in a small space of time! After the ending of this I cannot wait for book 2, The Art of Trusting a Greek Billionaire which I also out!

Another fantastic book by Ms Tee.

Please note I received an ARC of this book in return for an honest review

Excerpt:
“Tell me more about yourself.” Mairi waited for Damen to speak, but when the silence continued she said hesitantly, “Damen?”
He cleared his throat. Had he fucking heard her correctly? Did she really say something as impossibly juvenile as that? What kind of game was she playing, wanting him to act like an inexperienced boy on his first phone call with a girl?
Why wasn’t he speaking? Perhaps he was too busy and was just too nice enough to tell her the truth? Wincing at the realization that could very well be true, Mairi mumbled quickly, “I’m sorry. You must be really busy and tired---”
“No, of course not.” Damen was just as swift in his negation, lowering himself back on the couch positioned next to the hotel suite’s scenic windows. She was probably fucking playing with him, making him think that if he did not humor her now she would immediately move on to her other Greek boyfriend.
No fucking way would he let that happen. Mairi Tanner was his until he tired of her.
“Are you sure?”
“Of course.” He reached for the shot glass he had recently filled and downed it in one gulp. “What do you want to talk about?”
“Well…I just really want to know more about you.”
Know more about him in what way, Damen wondered cynically. Know more in the sense that she wanted the password to his safe? Exact figures of his current net worth? How many homes he owned?
“Ask me anything and I will do my best to answer you.”
Her eyes widened. “Anything?”
“Anything.”
“Then…what’s your favorite color?”
Damen stared at the phone. Did she just fucking ask him what his favorite color was?
“Damen? Are you there?”
Fuck, fuck, fuck. He wanted to laugh out loud but managed to rein in his amusement. He had no fucking idea what game Mairi Tanner was playing, but right now it didn’t matter. All Damen knew was that she kept surprising him, and her unpredictable ways just made him want her more and more.

Her quaint little art gallery is plodding along nicely and her sister Emily’s artistic career is about to take off, thanks to her tireless promotion. She even gets to see her best friend every day and drink his delicious coffee in the café next door.

But when dastardly property developer Craig Carmichael comes along, threatening to demolish her gallery and take everything away, Charlotte has an unexpected fight on her hands. Not only is she battling to stop Craig’s development, she’s also struggling against the mysterious magnetic pull that has her on a collision course with Craig himself.

Craig Carmichael is fighting the Battle for Boundary Street on more than one front. The tenants of the building he wants to knock down are mounting a strong case against him and in a hot-headed moment he put his career on the line for a project that is threatening to fail. If the project doesn’t succeed he will lose everything but for some reason he’s having trouble maintaining his focus.

As their worlds begin to unravel around them, anyone could win. It’s what they might lose that has Charlotte and Craig wondering what it is they really want.

Okay, she wants to find everything that's amazing, and she's sure to find lots of exotic wonderfulness traveling through outer space...right?

Chasca cannot comprehend why someone would kidnap her and she only discovers why once she is rescued by two gorgeous militant men. While under their protection she learns that she is not human and that the strange things that have been occurring all her life were all because she is of the Nephilim bloodline.

Fate has never been a thing Chasca has concerned herself with but once she learns that she is part of an ancient prophecy she understand that she is truly in danger. Her protectors do everything they can to keep her out of harm’s way but there’s only so much that can be done when your ward is a headstrong mouthy woman. Recommended for those 18 and older.

"One cannot escape their fate, but their path may be altered, potentially resulting in a different outcome. Some consider it divine intervention, or a miracle. Others consider it to be coincidence or happenstance. In some cases both are true, but there are always exceptions. Mere seconds can prove to be crucial components when the result of one’s fate is hanging in the balance. Often times a minute amount of influence is all it takes. Planting a seed of doubt or inspiring hope when all seems to be lost..."

The Anthology of Murderous Connections
Hate and greed knows no boundaries in the lives of many. The branches of a family tree are often broken by the murderous connections of those around them.
 An inheritance is stolen, voices are heard, women are hunted, revenge is sought, and vows are broken.
 These six short stories, plus two bonus excerpts of novellas, illustrate that connection of hate and how family can be the deadliest of all. The saying of “blood is thicker than water” has no meaning within the lives of these families

Excerpt:
The Darkness Within
Chapter 1

The iron smell in the air should have been the first hint. She walked further into the room and froze, her gaze riveted on the floor.
 
Lana Rowland stared, stunned and horrified at what she saw. She had spied the cabin through the dense thicket of trees and had gone to investigate, her curious nature getting the best of her.
 
THAT had been mistake number one. The second had actually been to open the door. The smell was suffocating and yet she stood there like an idiot, unable to move or even twitch.
 
The bile rose in her throat and the world began to spin, the room tilting. She ordered herself to move, to run, and yet her body refused to obey.
 
There was blood everywhere. Every inch of the shack, the walls were covered. A long table set against the far wall, covered in the iron substance. She tried to breathe through her mouth but wanted to gag.

She felt ready to heave; to mix her own DNA to what was left.
 
Lana finally pulled her gaze from the floor. Her eyes burned
 from the smell of the bleach that was heavy in the air. She gulped and started
 to back away, feeling for the door behind her.
 Suddenly, she heard a noise and froze again. Her heart seemed to
 stop and lodge in her throat. She heard a door slam and felt the terror seize
 her, her body stiff and poised.

 Bitter Fruits

 

For fans of dark urban fantasy comes a novel that questions why forbidden fruit is always the most tempting...

 
A vampire-themed masquerade party isn’t really her scene, but Nora is sick of frat parties and bars. When she meets Alec, the appeal suddenly becomes clear. It’s obvious that they’ve been struck by the same intense mutual attraction, but Alec keeps his distance. Intrigued despite herself, Nora pushes a little deeper — and discovers Alec’s unimaginable secret...
Nora is not afraid of following Alec into the darkness, but the choice is soon taken from her. Someone is hunting her — someone tied to the secret and desperate to see it play out. But when Nora finally meets her aggressor, she finds herself hopelessly drawn to him. She needs to make a choice between the two men, but can she save them both, knowing one is destined to die?

Praise for Bitter Fruits:

 Forget Me Not

18+ New Adult romance

This isn't a sweet and innocent coming of age story. If dirty talk, bedroom toys, and threesomes offend you... this is not your book. There are also no billionaires, strippers, or virgins. This is just the story of typical college kids trying to connect to each other.  

 

"No one tells you when you start school just how homesick you will be, or how hard it will be to start life over with no direction and no friends or family. No one says that becoming your own person is terrifying." Lily had a crush on her brother's best friend, Derek, for years - which led to their steamy night ten months ago in her bedroom. Now, she's off to college and she and Derek are still going strong. However, when school starts, Lily realizes it's hard to maintain a relationship, while also trying to live her own life. She and Derek find themselves falling apart and she has no idea where to turn. Enter Jack. Everything about him is wrong for Lily and she knows it, but she can't stop herself from being attracted to him. When things implode with Derek, it's Jack who's there to pick up the pieces - and to show Lily an entirely new set of experiences she didn't know she was missing. Of course, Jack has his own problems and once Lily gets to know him better, she starts to wonder if she can handle all of Jack. When Derek reappears on the scene, Lily is forced to decide between two guys and herself. Can she find herself without losing the people who matter in the process?

Lilly of the Valley

 

18+ New Adult romance

This isn’t a sweet and innocent coming of age story. If dirty talk, bedroom toys, and threesomes offend you… this is not your book. There are also no billionaires, strippers, or virgins. This is just the story of typical college kids trying to connect to each other. 
 “No one tells you about pain. They tell you that it hurts, that sometimes it’s consuming. What they don’t tell you is that it’s not the pain that can kill you. It’s the uncomfortable numbness that follows, the weakness in your body when you realize your lungs may stop taking in air and you just can’t exert enough energy to care. It’s the way taste and color and smell fade from the world and all you’re left with is a sepia print of misery. That’s when the shift starts – the movement from passive to active. I fall asleep, hoping that the morning will bring back the pain. At least the pain is a thing.”

Plagued by a dark past, Jack sees college as a way out. Desperate to escape the area where he grew up, the people who know his secrets, and his own family, he deals with his problems through alcohol and meaningless sex.

When he first sees Lily, she’s the epitome of everything he hates. Yet something about her makes Jack rethink everything he knows and assumes about other people. Now, with the help of his best friend and lover, Jack has to decide if he wants to pursue something that he knows will only end badly.

Can Lily be one of the few people who can see Jack for who he really is – or will his darkness be too much for her to handle?

Star of Bethlehem



 

Jack isn’t a rock star. He’s not the leader of a MC. He isn’t a billionaire. Lily’s not the daughter of a mob boss, or a stripper, or a virgin with a BDSM fascination. They’re just regular college kids, who somehow found each other in the middle of all the crap and chaos of growing up.

“With you, Jack, it was the first time I ever felt real. It was the first time anyone looked at me and saw substance. It was the first time I wanted to make someone see me.”

Jack and Lily have navigated his past, her desire to move on from her family’s demands of her, his depression, and her loneliness. Now, on New Year’s Eve, they have an entire year laid out ahead of them. First, though, Jack needs to meet Lily’s family, to be welcomed into her life. It’s intimidating, but with a sweater that is way too hot and his grandmother’s ugly car, he arrives at Lily’s gleaming house on a hill, ready to open himself up completely to her.

Inside the perfect, sparkling house, Lily waits for the boy she has come to love. But Lily’s house and family are a lot like her – shiny and pretty on the outside, with a sad emptiness on the interior. Lily wants to give Jack the one thing he has always dreamed of – family and love – but can she keep him from seeing how hollow a lot of the picture perfect life he fantasizes about really is?

This is a novella length work that follows Forget Me Not and Lily of the Valley.

Escape The Doubt by Andrea Michelle

Synopsis: 

After the unexpected death of her Dad and the haunting manner in which he died, Riley Shaw built invisible walls around her heart. Barriers she created to protect her from splintering into broken pieces that couldn’t be repaired. She was unable to move forward from her past letting the guilt of her parent’s mistakes dictate her own choices.

 

Dean Warren was safe. Being with him was innocent and peaceful because she didn’t truly love him. His words held her captive in a false sense of security. His eyes were deceptive and his promises of never pushing her beyond what she was willing to give were broken leaving Riley Shaw in a state of regret and doubt.

Joshua Parker had the power to take what was left of Riley’s splintered pieces and ruin her completely or make her whole again. He was her best friend, her next-door neighbor - everything she wanted and settled on never having. Loving him was as easy as breathing air. The fear of losing him forever was more real to her than the feelings she couldn’t escape.

When faced with the very thing she feared the most and in the arms she thought were safe Riley finds herself questioning every decision she has made over the past two years. When she finally escapes the doubt in her head and accepts the truth in her heart is it too late?

Is taking a chance with your heart worth the escape or was it better to have never loved at all? Can forgiveness really set you free?

*Warning: This is a mature young adult novel. Recommended for readers 17+ due to underage drinking, sexual content and adult language.

About the main characters:

JOSH- he is the sweetest guy. He met Riley when she was four years old and has been her best friend ever since. That friendship became love and that love shifted into a need to have her be his girl. There isn't anything that he wouldn't do for her even step aside if that meant she would be happy. He loves her enough to wait. 

RILEY- she is broken and sad. She no longer believes in love and happy ever afters. She see's cheating, lies, and betrayal as what is real in a relationship. She carries the weight of her parents mistakes on her shoulders. She loves Josh completely, he is her best friend, everything she can't live without. She is full of doubts about what she wants, needs and deserves to have all because of the guilt she bares after a tragic accident that involved her drunk father and Josh's beautiful mother. An accident that changed everything for them both. 

DEAN- He is Riley's boyfriend of two years. He is safe because she doesn't love him, half the time she doesn't like him. He is the typical high school boyfriend which means he is selfish and doesn't really care about her either. Why is she with him? Well that is a very good question, one even Riley can't answer herself. She doesn't want to be alone but she isn't okay to give anyone the power to break her heart and Dean doesn't have that power therefore he is safe for her. 

SIDE CHARACTERS THAT PLAY PIVOTAL ROLES: Riley's mom and sister Tatum, Josh's dad and sister Joey, Emily (Riley's BFF), Collin (Josh's BFF), Preslee (school slut), Brandt and Rebel (not as involved as the other side characters but involved in the story line). 

About The Author: My name is Andrea Michelle. I am married to my best friend and I am a mom to 3 beautiful daughters that love to dance. I am also a passionate dance teacher and have a huge love for performing arts. New Orleans, Louisiana is where I call home, but Texas is where I live. I love reading, writing and listening to music (in no specific order and with equal passion). I love to capture memories in photographs. I have an addiction to reality television and am obsessed with the Voice at this moment. I love thunderstorms but hate the Spring in Texas. Tornadoes freak me out, I would much rather ride out a hurricane.  I cannot survive a day without coffee or sweet tea. I love chatting about books with friends and enjoy getting to know new people. Random fact: My writing was born out of my love for music and singing. I created songs with poetry that I never shared with anyone other than my husband and my loyal notebook. One of my songs and also two of my poems are in my debut novel.

We are just starting to explore the opportunities in this field, so please understand if there are some growing pains. If you have any questions, comments, concerns, or random facts please feel free to email us at bookworm.indiepub@gmail.com. It may take a couple of days for us to get back to you, but we will do our best.

Thanks and we look forward to watching your videos!
