Calling all Kindle Unlimited readers…

HEARTBREAK’S A BITCH! is now FREE to read if you’re a Kindle unlimited subscriber… 

[image error]

Unlucky in love Emily Parker is about to turn thirty. The big three-0!
Yet, the dream house, perfect husband and cute little children are nowhere to be seen; a little like her sex life.

Instead, most nights consist of a dine in for one, a few bottles of wine and the odd fumble with Vinnie the Vibrator, if she’s lucky; so long as she has remembered to stock up on the batteries.

Is this now her life?
It’s a far cry from where she imagined it would be when she reached her prime.
Where did it all go wrong? Even the big wide world of online dating isn’t getting her anywhere, fast.

Right now, the only thing that Emily knows, is that Heartbreak’s a bitch!

EXCESS BAGGAGE by Laura Barnard

Release date: 23rd May

Genre: Romantic Comedy

Synopsis:

Stuck in a dead-end relationship, Erica Bennett finds herself daydreaming of her first holiday romance. She was fifteen, it was exciting, new and full of possibilities…and Jack Lawson was hot as hell. That kind of thing leaves a mark.

So when her friends suggest a girls holiday to Luna Island, it’s exactly what she needs to take her mind off things. What she doesn’t expect is to spot Jack – a much older, hotter version of him – across the hotel lobby.

Their attraction is still there and it isn’t long before sparks fly, but fifteen years is a long time. They aren’t the same people they were back then and besides, it’s only a week, right?

Is it a second chance at something real or will their excess baggage ruin their shot at love after they leave Luna Island?

MY BEST FRIEND’S FIANCE by Keren Hughes

Release date: 30th May

Genre: Romance

Synopsis:

The heart wants what it wants right? But what if it wants something it can never have?

I’m in love, and it should feel amazing…except, it doesn’t. The problem is, the guy I’m in love with happens to be my best friend’s fiancé.

It’s wrong on so many levels. If there was any way I could stop my growing feelings toward the one man who’s completely off limits, I would…but I can’t.

It’s insane, a disaster waiting to happen. The only thing that could make this entire situation worse is if the feeling was mutual—which it isn’t…is it?

Emily Parker’s ten golden rules to surviving Heartbreak…

#HeartbreaksABitch! is #LIVE.

Emily Parker’s 10 golden rules to surviving heartbreak!

#CRY… 

Cry like a bitch. It’s all got to come out at some point, so why not get it all over and done with?

#DRINK… 

It’s perfectly acceptable to drink your entire body weight in wine, or beverage of your choice so long as it contains alcohol. Drink until you can’t drink anymore, throw it all back up and start all over again. Hence the term ‘Rinse and repeat.’

#BINGE…

It’s also perfectly acceptable to eat your entire body weight in chocolate too.

#DRINK…

Now you might want to repeat step 2 again.

#INDULDGE…

Buy yourself something expensive and pretty, preferably on the offending other’s plastic if you’ve still got access to it. Failing that, break into your emergency stash as heartbreak is classed as a rainy day. Just think of all those tears. Go on, you deserve it. Plus, who else is really going to treat you?

#EXPLORE…

Fully acquaint yourself with Vinnie the vibrator again. Lord knows you’re going to need him on these long, cold, dark nights. Plus, he can’t argue back so it’s a win-win situation.

#DRINK AND BINGE… 

You might feel like repeating steps 2 and 3, so go right ahead. There’s no one left to judge you.

#DISCOVER…

Finally allow your best friend to introduce you to the world of online dating and turn you into a Tinder trollop. You’ll soon be a raving addict and at least your thumbs will be getting some action. Hey, it’s a body part after all.

#CLOSURE…

Now that you’ve gained some strength back, you need to collect all of his belongings together and get rid of that shit. Rip it, tear it, burn it. Whatever you do, just make sure it’s gone and remove every aspect of that prick from your life, forever.

#BE HAPPY…

Finally, learn to breathe. Find yourself once again. Repeat steps 2, 3, 5 and 6, most definitely 6, to your hearts content, because well, who really needs a man?

I have moved!!!

Hey everyone. I hope you’ve all been well?

I know that I’ve neglected this site somewhat, for the best part of a year, if not longer. But in that time I was busy cooking little Bump on tour, and cook him I did! He was an absolute whopper by the time he arrived on Christmas eve!

He’s now almost 5 months old and he’s finally allowing mummy to do a few bits and pieces here and there. So, I thought Why not create a new website while I’m starting up my mummy and lifestyle blog again.

It’s a little sparse at the moment, but I’m hoping to get more up and running on the site over the next couple of weeks.

You can follow my new Author website here.

If you’d also like to follow my Mummy and Lifestyle blog, you can do so here.

I hope to speak to you all soon.

Love, Steph

Add it to your TBR

‘That special someone can walk in and out of your life, yet leave a permanent mark that lasts a lifetime…’

Lucy Love always wanted to travel and explore the world before being forced to grow up and act like an adult in the big bad world laid out before her.

Deciding to stick to her dreams, she ensues on a summer of a lifetime, making memories, having fun and falling in love for the very first time.

Like most things in life, all good things must come to an end, but will she be able to move past her broken heart and love again, or is that perfect summer destined to haunt her once again?

Now, ten years on Lucy has a budding career and the best family and friends that a girl could wish for, but after many failed relationships what’s in store for her love life?

Is fate destined to bring Lucy and her one true love back together, or is it just an evil way of life, destined to break her heart once again?

Excerpt:

#ComingSoon

#SinceYouveBeenGone

#Love #Loss #SecondChances

I watch as he slowly retreats back to her room and, wait… what’s that? I tilt my head slightly while holding on for dear life to the thin sheets currently protecting me. Has he got her thong around his neck? He bloody has as well. What the hell have I got myself into with this one? I knew she was wild, but having strangers coming back, who openly stalk sleeping women is pushing it way too far. I need to make it clear to her that this isn’t okay. Not one bit.

“I think I’m gonna take this as a souvenir, sugar.” He says while pulling on the thin string of fabric, before pinging it off his bare flesh. I really hope that’s a clean pair and not the ones she had on last night. I feel absolutely violated and it’s not even my underwear around his neck.

“Be my guest. Plenty more where that came from big boy.”
