COVER REVEAL: BURYING WATER by K.A. TUCKER

THIS BOOK SOUNDS FREAKING FANTASTIC. I CAN'T WAIT TO READ THIS BOOK!!!

Synopsis

The top-selling, beloved indie author of Ten Tiny Breaths returns with a new romance about a young woman who loses her memory—and the man who knows that the only way to protect her is to stay away.

Left for dead in the fields of rural Oregon, a young woman defies all odds and survives—but she awakens with no idea who she is, or what happened to her. Refusing to answer to “Jane Doe” for another day, the woman renames herself “Water” for the tiny, hidden marking on her body—the only clue to her past. Taken in by old Ginny Fitzgerald, a crotchety but kind lady living on a nearby horse farm, Water slowly begins building a new life. But as she attempts to piece together the fleeting slivers of her memory, more questions emerge: Who is the next-door neighbor, quietly toiling under the hood of his Barracuda? Why won’t Ginny let him step foot on her property? And why does Water feel she recognizes him?

Twenty-four-year-old Jesse Welles doesn’t know how long it will be before Water gets her memory back. For her sake, Jesse hopes the answer is never. He knows that she’ll stay so much safer—and happier—that way. And that’s why, as hard as it is, he needs to keep his distance. Because getting too close could flood her with realities better left buried.

The trouble is, water always seems to find its way to the surface.

Review

I was completely unprepared for the vast number of emotions Therapy put me through. I knew it not a light book from off the bat nonetheless still knowing that didn't prepare me for angst and pain filled in each word. No one can put to words what this book did to me certainly I can't. I needed THERAPY. It was just the book I needed. 

I need to pour my emotions on a blank white canvas, splash the dark colours on to it and release my hurt, my anger, my happiness, my tears and little bit of me added in the mix creating the masterpiece of what Therapy brought out in me.

When we hit the point of rock bottom in life, we suppress any bit of happiness in our lives. We push people away who mean a lot. You keep making mistakes. You take up bad habits. Make bad decisions and in the end you start hating yourself. Loving yourself is important because only than you can love another person without reservations. Only when you truly see yourself with all the flaws that glare at you every second and love all of them, only than you will able to see the person who accepts and loves the whole package that is you. 

This book did a number on me. I cried so much when I finished it. It was like a dam broke and whatever is in me bursted out trying to get some air. There was so much emotion and depth packed into this book I just couldn't stop reading. I was thrown face first into the pool of pain. It shook me, tied me, unhinged me and caressed me. There was love, hate, pain and happiness mixed in a potion that I inhaled in and keep reliving. 

Jessica's pain reminds me of my own pain. At some points in our lives we have all been bullied but Jessica has been bullied to point where she cuts her self, hates herself, sells her self short. In her mind her self worth is lays at the very bottom. Where everyone walks all over her. She has a lot of issues that she needs to overcome. Than there is Jace who's this charming, good looking young man who's the boyfriend of the mean girl. The popular girl that seems to hate her guts for no good reason but the fact that she is mean, hateful person. 

This is Jessica's story of growing up and overcoming her fears. When Jessica stops being the punching bag and says enough is enough. This is a story of a young girl who has been bullied and starts living her life to the fullest and not just hoping it all ends waiting in the sidelines. 

The writing, poetry is a beautiful. The story hits home. Makes a point. Breaks you and than mends you. Join Jessica in her journey and get Therapy.

MEET LESLEY

I was born and raised in a small working class town in Essex, just outside of East London. I am married with three sons and in 2006 we all moved to the other side of the world, settling on the beautiful Mornington Peninsula, about 50K outside of Melbourne Australia. It's a whole new way of life for us down here, we are so lucky to live in such a beautiful part of the world.

I am currently a stay at home mum but in the past I have worked at Marks & Spencer, as a classroom assistant/teachers aid and have run my business.

As well as writing, I love to read and have been known to get through four or five books a week. My other interests are watching my boys play football...The round ball version. I am happy to admit to being an addict of social media and I owe a lot to my Facebook and Twitter family in promoting my work. I am also rather partial to a glass... or bottle of wine, a nicely chilled Marlborough Sav Blanc being my favorite. Being a born and raised Essex girl, I will happily admit to be being a big fan of spray tans, Shellac and am regularly, waxed, tinted and sculpted, although I am more likely to be found in thongs/flipflops than a pair of white stilettos these days.

Review

“Lines are drawn, but then they fade. For her I bend, for you I break.”

This book is...

Exquisitely written.
Incredibly portrayed. 
Impeccably presented. 

I was WOWED to the sky and back.

There never will be said that Colleen Hoover didn't make my heart stop many times while reading her books. There will never be said that I wasn't surprised by each and every masterpiece written by this incredibly talented author.

Big chunks of my heart are always taken away from her books and I gain another beautiful experience of reading her stories. This is far by her best work. She keeps setting bars for herself to exceed and she does a marvellous job of hitting the target of reaching even further. There are no words said about her that hasn't been repeated by her readers. One of the most common ones are said. I am. BLOWN. AWAY. That is exactly how I reacted. I was stuck at the one word. Three letters. WOW. WOW. WOW. WOW. WOW.

Colleen Hoover impresses the hell out of us all with her magnificent writing skills and story telling ability. She holds on to you with each word, carves out a picture from the edge of each word and never lets go of you even when you are staring at the last page willing for more.

“There are only twenty-six letters in the English alphabet. You would think there would only be so much you could do with twenty-six letters. You would think there were only so many ways those letters could make you feel when mixed up and shoved together to make words. However, there are infinite ways those twenty-six letters can make a person feel…”

Those words made up of those letters is what made me feel a thousand more feelings in one moment, so imagine how this whole book together made me feel, it all adds to being speechless. 

“Desire is easy to fight. Especially when the only weapon desire possesses is attraction. It’s not so easy when you’re trying to win a war against the heart.”

Maybe Someday is a heart-stoppingly story of two people who connects over music and who fall for each other, there is no stopping of it. They can fight it all they want but fate has something else in store for them all. It's their journey of writing music together and expressing their feelings through the lyrics they write. That's all I will say. 

The music that was made exclusively for Maybe Someday by the exceptionally talented Griffin Peterson and co-written by our amazing CoHo, was incredibly impressive. It was beyond what I imagined. I fell so hard for the music. It made reading Maybe Someday immensely beautiful to read. You connect with Ridge and Sydney beyond your wildest imagination. It's soulfully fulfilling. I loved their hearts that came out in their music colouring this awe-inspiring music. The canvas of their lives starting painting this beautiful picture of their souls and weaved into my own soul. Creating this one soul that carries pieces of me, Ridge and Sydney. 

This is one unforgettable journey that I just didn't want to end. I loved, loved and loved this story soooooo much, there isn't that many words combined together that can express my love for Maybe Someday. It was exceptional!

I love Ridge so much! He is far by my favourite CoHo Book Boyfriend. He's this talented and fan-freaking-tasic guy, he strives to be a good person and does so effortlessly. His heart so pure and big that he just envelops you into his world where you have eyes only on him. 

Sydney is a badass. I LOVE THAT. You'll know of it from the very beginning. I have huge girl crush on her. She's fan-freaking-tabulous. I LOVE her! 

So without any further ado my verdict for this superb book.

COVER REVEAL: DIRTY ANGELS by Karina Halle

Synopsis

For Luisa Chavez, a twenty-three year old former beauty queen, a better life has always been just out of her reach. Sure, she’s had men at her feet since she was a young teenager but she’s never had the one thing she’s craved – security. Having grown up in near poverty, her waitressing job in Cabo San Lucas can barely let her take care of herself, let alone her ailing parents. Every day is another unwanted advance, every day is a struggle to survive.

When Salvador Reyes, the depraved leader of a major Mexican cartel, takes an interest in her, Luisa is presented with an opportunity she can’t afford to pass up. She’ll become Salvador’s wife and exchange her freedom and body for a life of riches – riches she can bestow upon her deserving parents. But Luisa quickly finds out that even the finest wines and jewels can’t undo the ugliness in her marriage, nor the never-ending violence that threatens her every move.

Soon, Luisa is looking for an escape, a way out of the carefully controlled life she’s leading. She finally gets her wish in the worst way possible.

As it is, being the wife of Salvador makes her an ideal target for rival cartels and there’s one particular man who needs Luisa as part of his cartel’s expansion. One particular man whose quest for power has destroyed lives, slit throats and gotten him out of an American prison. One particular man who will stop at nothing until he gets what he wants.

That man is Javier Bernal. And he wants Luisa. He wants to take her, keep her, ruin her.

Unless she ruins him first.

***WARNING*** This book deals with drug cartels and as such it contains a lot of sex and violence and some violent sex. It can get pretty ugly, pretty dark and pretty crazy. There is drug use, abuse, a bit of torture and dubious consent. The hero is not a hero and the villains...well, they're even worse. If this sort of thing bothers you, please do not read. This ain't no cupcake farting unicorn kind of book***

Excerpt

There was a strange moment of silence and I concentrated hard, trying to hear more than the obvious. They were all waiting. Waiting for the order. Waiting for the man in charge to speak.

He did.

It came from the left of me. His voice was cool, calm and collected. I didn’t have to see to know who had taken me. The man I’d heard so much about. The man I’d been taught to fear.

“Gentleman,” he said and I could almost feel his infamous eyes on my body, “remove the bag.”

There was a rustle and my face was immediately met with cool air that seized my lungs and bright lights that blinded me. I scrunched up my face, afraid to look, to see. Now it was all so real and I wanted to stay in the dark.

“Who did this?”

Suddenly cool hands were at my swollen cheek and I flinched.

“Who did this?” my captor repeated, an edge to his level voice, his cigar-laced breath on my face.

“Sorry,” Franco mumbled. “It was the only way to quiet her.”

A heavy pause filled the room like deadweight. Finally the fingers came away from my skin and my body relaxed momentarily. I felt the man stand in front of me, bending over so he was in my face, the spicy scent of tea and tobacco emanating off of him.

“Look at me Luisa Reyes.”

Chavez, I thought to myself, I will always be Luisa Chavez.

“Darling, aren’t you curious to where you are?”

“My name is Luisa Chavez,” I said. I opened my eyes to see golden ones staring right back at me. It was like looking at an eagle. “And I know where I am. I know who you are. You are Javier Bernal.”

He raised his brow in amusement and nodded. I’d seen his picture before, on the news. There was only one and that was his mugshot but even in that photo, his eyes made an impression on you. They saw right into your depths and made you question yourself. He was one of the men whom Salvador feared, even though Salvador had more power. He was the one I had been told to watch out for, the supposed reason why I’d always been locked in the compound or escorted by the local police to go shopping.

And yet here I was, tied to a chair in a cold, leaking basement with nothing in it except five cartel members, a video camera and a knife that lay on top of a stool in front of me.

All of that for nothing. I could escape Salvador but I could never escape the cartels.

I had asked for this fate.

“You know why you’re here,” Javier said with deliberation, straightening up in his sharp black suit. He walked over to the stool, swiping up the knife, and glancing at me over his shoulder. “Don’t you?”

I could only breathe. I wanted to look at the others, at Este, at Franco, at the two other mystery men, but I was frozen in his gaze like a cow in headlights.

“What is the knife for?” I asked, my throat painfully dry.

“You’ll find out after,” he said. “It is for your husband. For your Salvador.” He stepped to the side and waved his arm at the camera. “And this is also for him.”

He eyed someone over my shoulder and gave a sharp nod. I heard a rip from behind and a piece of duct tape was placed over my mouth. I squirmed helplessly and the lights in the basement dimmed. The men stepped to the side while Javier went behind the video camera. A white light came off the front of it and bathed me in an eerie glow.

Javier cleared his throat, his face covered in shadow and said loudly, projecting to the camera, “This is Luiza Reyes, former beauty queen of the Baja State and property of Salvador Reyes. Salvador, we have your wife and we have a long list of demands, demands which I know you can meet. I expect full cooperation in this matter, or she dies in the next seven days. If she’s lucky. I’ll give you some time to think about what you’re willing to give up for her. Then we’ll be contacting you. Good bye.”

The light on the camera switched off but the rest of the room remained dim.

“I hope your husband checks his emails often. It would be a shame to have to put this on YouTube.”

There was a smirk on his face at that as he slowly walked toward me, the knife glinting in his hand. His eyes burned through the shadows, then grew somber.

He held up the knife. “I think it’s only going to hurt the first time.”

My eyes focused on the silver of the blade but the terror inside me grew too strong and my urge to breathe through the duct tape became too difficult. My lungs seized in panic, pulsing dots appeared in my vision. I felt a hand on my collarbone, gripping the edge of my blouse and then everything went black.
