CRAVING MIDNIGHT

A FIVE STAR READ!!

Fresh and intriguing…

“Hargrove packs a punch straight to the heart in Craving Midnight. It’s a twisted and sexy read.…A perfect combination of intrigue, lust, darkness, and steam.” —HJ Bellus, USA Today Best Selling Author

A.M. Hargrove’s Craving Midnight was a page turner that left me on the edge of my seat. I was FOR SURE  I had the entire storyline nailed down in the first few paragraphs in chapter one. Boy, was I wrong!  The twists and turns never stopped coming and I gave up on my predictions. I fell HARD and FAST for Harrison. That man is all I’ll say. Oh, and I want one in my life. My frustration level nearly exploded with the interaction between the two main characters. It was a classic tug of war that heightened their dynamic chemistry.

I’m not going to go into detail about the storyline because it was too grand of a ride!  The love and protection shared throughout the book are stellar.

EXCERPT REVEAL

Prologue

There are people. Rows and rows of cars. Black everywhere. I can’t feel my feet as my high heels sink into the grass. My face is numb, as are my fingers. The searing pain burning my insides is alive and well.

Momma urges me down into a chair draped in velvet. It’s front row. My view? Two caskets with flowers covering every surface. The sweet, floral smell is making so sick; to the point, I clutch my stomach.

“You okay?” Mom whispers in my ear.

I shake my head. If I open my mouth, a torrent of emotions will seep out. Sara screams in the background. I peer over my shoulder to see Maddie with tears streaming down her face, trying to soothe her upset toddler. She offers me a comforting smile, but I don’t return it. I can’t stand the sight of Sara, and her cries only infuriate me.

“Mom, shut that baby up now.”

“Marlee, that’s enough.” She clutches my hand.

“Mom.” This time my voice escalates to a scream. “I can’t take it!”

“Okay. Okay.” Mom rises, and it’s only minutes later until Sara’s cries fade.

I turn to see the backside of Maddie making her way to the parking lot. She glances back one more time before disappearing behind a row of trees. She’s devastated, but I don’t have it in me to care.

Silence. Caskets. Flowers.

The pastor welcomes everyone before the Military Honor begins. A muted bugle starts to play “Taps,” the well-known song for a fallen soldier. I stare at the man in his uniform playing the song. He’s only feet away. The song should be so much clearer, but it’s not. I’m drowning.

Once the song is over, our country’s beautiful flag is stretched before me and my family. The soldiers are meticulous as they present, fold the flag, and salute. Why couldn’t it have been them? Anyone, but who God chose to take.

A soldier with bright blue eyes kneels before me. His pristine white glove is on top of the flag. Mom tries to get me to stand, but I refuse to. Dad’s arm wraps around my waist, pulling me to my feet. He keeps me clutched to his side.

Nightmare after nightmare has played out in my sleep of this scenario and now I’m living it. My knees begin to quake, the effects of the pills wearing off, and I sob. The first, wracking my chest with a brutal force. I can feel my sternum crack under pressure then it becomes hard to breathe. The soldier’s words are barely recognizable.

“This flag is presented on behalf of a grateful nation and the United States Army, as a token of appreciation for your loved one’s honorable and faithful service.”

Dad grabs my hand, holding it out to receive the flag. The red, white, and blue material burns my palm. My gut reaction is to let go of it in hopes of making this whole scene disappear. Dad won’t let me. He’s my rock right now.

***

The smell. The sight. Every damn element destroys me to the point it hurts to think about surviving. Once I’m able to pull in oxygen, a brutal force slams into my spine, reminding me of what I had. It was all taken away in a split second. The decision to run a red stoplight unraveled my past, present, and future.

My life flipped upside down. That doesn’t accurately represent what happened. I died that day. My soul vanished, and my heart quit beating, yet, I’m still alive with blood pumping through my veins, but I was a casualty on the side of the road.

I had everything, and it was the idyllic American dream. Hell, some would label me as spoiled, and I wouldn’t have argued. It was always my life. I was the center of everyone’s attention. A girl and then a woman who had to be the best at everything no matter the circumstance. I had no friends. I had him. Then he was gone.

“Birdie, lunch is ready. Your favorite, sweetie, grilled cheese and tomato soup.”

I peer up to my mom, regretting losing the scent of him once my nose leaves the sheets. His scent is barely there, and all it does is shatter the already broken pieces of my heart. I’m forced to bury my face back into the bed sheets. I do my best to shake my head. She knows I don’t want to eat, but she’s never given up on me.

Mom has made my favorite meals day after day. Grilled cheese and tomato soup used to make my world spin, and I’d squeal like a little girl. But, then again, I used to love life.

“Baby girl, you need to eat something.” The bed dips and then her familiar hand soothes trails over my dirty hair.

I shake my head again. My raw throat is sliced open by agony, making it sore, dripping with pain and blood. I’m unable to speak a word.

“Here, Birdie.” She nudges my shoulder. “Take these, and when you wake up, I’ll have another meal ready for you.”

I hold my palm open and hear the crinkle of the water bottle placed next to me on the bed. These three little, white pills have been the only things holding me together. It’s the magic keeping my shell of a body glued. But I’m tired, so sick of being numb, tumbling into slumber, and then springing right back into heartbreak. When the effects of the pills wear off, it’s unbearable to open my eyes. I hear it, smell it, and feel death all over again.

My chest grips my heart. My vision fills with their caskets we buried in the fertile soil of the earth. The smell of fresh dirt was tearing me apart, and all the while, I sat there and watched their bodies sink down six feet.

“It’s not fair, Mom. He fought for our country and then…” It hurts too much to finish my sentence. My words die off like they have since the doctors hit me with the news.

“I know, Birdie.” Her tender lips pepper kisses all over the side of my exposed face. “You have to push on, baby girl; so many love and need you. You’ll always have us. Always.”

I remain silent, waiting for her to leave the room. The pills roll around in my palm. The silent clinking of them screams to the point of gifting me with a migraine.

It’s at this moment I decide I can’t stay here. I don’t belong here any longer. The place I called home for so many years and then built a future with my husband doesn’t belong to me anymore. I’m a foreign stranger trapped in the confines of a house.

The pills fall without sound to the sheets. I take one long inhale of his scent, branding it to memory forever. I’ll never ever forget the man who was my first love and my only love who gave me everything. He was and always will be my best friend. No one will ever replace his force. It’s too painful to stay. Death is screaming my name and clawing for my soul.

One slit of the wrist with the sharp edge of my fishing knife or a forceful stab to the heart. That’s what I want. I hunger for the blood to drain from my body until my heart ceases. I won’t have time to bleed out in peace before someone barges in, checking on me. My parents and his parents are enduring the same kind of hell I’m stuck in. I can’t put them through more pain, but I can’t breathe here. It’s too damn much.

I have one option.

Run and never come back to my personal hell.

I take his shirt and the bag next to our bed and do just that, never looking back again.

Sorry, Mom.

The Country Duet Boxset

 

THE COUNTRY DUET

“Dirt, Passion, and Heart”

BASED ON A TRUE STORY

“Country at its fines. The Country Duet is such a heartbreakingly raw and real story that draws feelings out of you that you didn’t know you had.” -Amazon Customer

☛ THE COUNTRY DUET ☚

#KINDLEUNLIMITED

“Courage is being scared to death and saddling up anyway.” –John Wayne

 

ADD TO

Wild Country

A heart-warming tale based on a true story.

Some have it all.

Hunter Yates truly does.

He’s humble and kind, even though he has it all. It’s his

small town roots that keep him grounded. He’s a simple man from a small town with a heart of gold. Perfection carved from beauty.

As he sets off in the world, it’s his humble beginnings that keep his boots planted on the ground. Hunter finds himself amidst a toxic relationship. He struggles to get out of it, but it’s his heart that keeps him from letting go.

All he ever knew were the ways of Sweetwater Ranch, u

ntil the day he left for college. The world is a brutal place and his heart and soul are one and the same with the wild country. A ranch boy, who has everything, but gives everything at the same time.

When it’s time to decide, does he go with his heart, or the worries of everyone else?

Buy Wild Country and discover the beauty in the world.

Back Country

The gripping conclusion of Hunter and Dave’s story.

There’s only one place that has the power to heal Hunter Yates. Sweetwater Ranch. His sophomore year of college was nothing less than a wild adventure.

He found everything and lost it all in a blink of an eye. With Dave in decent shape for the moment, Hunter travels home for the summer. It’s just what he needs. Time to clear his mind.

He should feel settled, fulfilled, and at peace now that he’s home on the Ranch. But he doesn’t. The dull ache in his chest too overwhelming to ignore. The natural high he always experiences while on horseback no longer exists. The grass no longer green in his eyes. The world is just that-the world.

His drive and determination have vanished. Teale Wickett destroyed him.

The thing is life goes on one meaningless day at a time.

Timing has never been on his side and this time there will be no turning back this time. Dave’s health declines, leaving Hunter lost.

Will his country roots be enough to keep him grounded?

“Courage is being scared to death and saddling up anyway.” –John Wayne

HJB’S Review of The Secret Life of Cooper Bennett

HJ Bellus’ Review of THE SECRET LIFE OF COOPER BENNETT

“There are no secrets that time does not reveal.” -Jean Racine

Get ready for one hell of a ride riddled with twists and turns you won’t see coming. Czermak held nothing back! It’s rare to find a book where you find yourself loving all the characters. Cooper may be the center of the novel, but the author slams you with intricate details into all of the characters’ separate worlds.

“The soft drizzle had started to change into snow when a piercing shriek cut through the glares.”

I’m a lover of all things small town, and that’s where Cooper Bennett’s story begins. Goodman, GA comes to live with Czermak’s written words and let me tell you the secrets it holds will shock you. Your heart will crack for the life Cooper endures, and then the story ensues.

“Every single birthday that came and went in Cooper’s tumultuous life turned into a mess. Not the kind that was easy to clean either, but full on explosive diarrhea that coated everything with a thick sludge that would, without fail, leave something stinking behind.”

Cooper has an enormous job placed on his shoulders with plenty of villains mixed in. I found myself loving the characters you hate!

Cooper Bennett lives big with no regrets. I’m not going to give away the ending that’s up to you to find out just be ready for one hell of a ride.

*disclaimer*

Romance Fantasy isn’t a genre I typically read with that being said Czermak sucked me into his fantasy world without a second thought. There was no I could put down this book.

What’s next from HJ Bellus #hjb

Hey Beauties,

I just wanted to stop by and let you know what I’m working on. The last weeks have been insane! I survived a signing in Vegas with my two kids and best friend, Lydia. It was quite the experience and one hell of a road trip.

We returned home Sunday and then our family was off to the fair on Monday!  We stayed at the fairgrounds in our RV for an entire week. My kids showed and exhibited six pigs and two dairy heifers. It was a great time with family and friends, but very exhausting at the same time.

New Release from Charlie Lee

BLURB

My Sin. Her Redemption.

I’m the man your momma warns you about.  The one you never want to meet in a dark alley.
I fight and protect me, mine, and my own. Take a bullet for anyone I love. No damn job is too gruesome for me. And I’m the most loyal motherf*cker you’ll ever encounter.

I live on the wrong side of the law, and I’m damn proud of it. It’s rooted deep in my soul, stems from the scars of my past.

A pool of blood, a lifeless woman, and a missing child lead me into chaos, smack dab in the middle of it.
