Releasing control is relief…
I was warned about men like Brett Maclean.
He was dark and thrilling, intense and controlling. And he captivated me from the very start. He unleashed something inside of me like no other. His bad rep and troubled past drew me to him like gasoline feeding a flame.
With just one taste, I felt the danger in him, the uncontrollable power that left me breathless. The passion consumed me. Fast and hard.
Temptation couldn’t guard my heart. I should have known a man of such raw and wild desires came with competition.
Brooke has spent the past eleven years living with a man she thought would be her forever. One afternoon of unanswered phone calls reveals he isn’t the man she thought he was.
Just when things couldn’t get any worse, she’s forced to call upon a stranger for help.
Can Dylan save Brooke from her broken past or does he have secrets of his own that will destroy them before they even get started?
Logan Clay is a dreamy, starving artist working multiple jobs to support his ailing mother and unemployed father, all while pursuing his dream of becoming a famous musician.
When luck shines on him, it looks like he might finally get the big break that he has been waiting for- that is until he meets Gina.
The daughter of a record label executive, Gina Vile has the potential to make all of Logan’s dreams come true or destroy any chance he will ever have. Can fame and love go hand in hand?
A prequel novella to Sand & Clay.
Four friends. Four secrets. One dare.
Alicia Thomas finally told her friends the reason she divorced her husband—she caught him in his office, naked, a ball gag in his mouth while a prostitute spanked his lily-white ass. But she can’t admit her own fantasy—being at the total mercy of her ex’s gorgeous boss, Richard Brand.
Then in a chance encounter one stormy night, Richard offers to make Alicia’s desires come true. Alicia learns not only to submit to Richard, but his friends as well, and she glories in every minute. But can she abandon her new life when she discovers that Richard’s games have more to do with revenge on her ex-husband than Richard’s desire for her?
I am weak.
I am lonely.
I am a slut.
I am strong.
I am Dominant.
I am independent.
I am Seven James.

Five years, and a booming career later I am here to collect my revenge.
That was until a delicious plaything walked into the kink club I frequent, and rocked my typically un-rockable world. Causing me to break the one rule I have lived by since Daniel Alexander walked out of my life, never have sex with the same person twice. Ever.

Tristan (Chapter 1) Snippet Unedited
I wasn’t always an asshole, or at least that’s what I liked to tell myself. The truth is, I had been this way since I was an adolescent. My sister reminded me of it every day, especially during my teen years. I couldn’t help that I enjoyed looking at tits and pussy, it made my dick hard and that usually resulted in one of her friends sucking me off.
I loved it when her friends spent the night, that was the bonus of having a sister. Otherwise, she was just a complete pain in the ass, always bitching about how fat she was or how some guy dumped her because she wouldn’t put out. It pissed me off, because one, she was annoying as fuck, and two, because any guy that touched my sister would get the shit kicked out of him, by me.
Her friends though, they were free reign and mine for the taking, and trust me when I tell you, I took them. Anya was by far my favorite and the first girl that I’d ever sunk my dick in. She was older than me by two years and could fuck like a porn star and suck the chrome off a bumper. That girl left me with the wettest dreams and when she spent the night, she would sneak into my room after everyone was asleep, and rock my world.
The last time I saw Anya was when I went home for a visit back to Russia. I was quite a bit older and a hell of a lot more experienced than the last time we’d seen each other. She was still beautiful, just as I remembered her. There was only one problem. She was married. I didn’t blame the guy. Shit. If I had been older and not so caught up in my new life in the states, I would have married her too. Okay, maybe I wouldn’t have, but I sure as hell would have fucked the shit out of her until I couldn’t see straight anymore.
I thought about Anya for years, even while I was dating and fucking other women. I couldn’t get her out of my head and trust me when I tell you, no guy likes to admit that. That usually leads to an admission of feelings, and well..fuck that! I didn’t have feelings for her other than the fact that I loved her pussy. Perhaps I was addicted to it? Hell, I don’t know. I just know I wanted to be balls deep in there every time I thought about her.

Alice Acadamy by Riley Y.J. Jensen
I have had the pleasure of reading this series by an amazing new author by the name of Riley Y.J. Jensen. This trilogy is so well written, captivating and heart wrenching, that I wanted to share it with all of you! Riley wrote these books when she was just twelve years old and had the series complete by the time she was fourteen. Incredible! I can honestly tell you, that these books DO NOT read like a child wrote them. I am totally astonished at how well thought and well written these books are.
I have had the pleasure of speaking to Riley over the last year and she is a beautiful, bright young woman. She is now seventeen years old and has released her fourth book, “Eleven Years Gone.” I will share all of the awesomeness in this post. If you have teenagers or you yourself enjoy reading young adult books, you will love this series. It reminded me of a cross between Twilight, Harry Potter and the Hunger Games. Only, it was much deeper than that. They are stories of true friendship, love and loyalty. I enjoyed every single one of the books and the twists and turns will leave you wondering what will happen next. You must read these or get these for your kids. I promise they won’t disappoint! I almost forgot to mention, the artwork in these books are just as incredible as the story. There are drawings of each of the characters, drawn by the author herself. She also made the covers herself. She in one very talented young lady! I am so very proud of her and I highly recommend you read her work!
The books are currently only available in paperback for just $10 each plus shipping. If you are interested in purchasing these books, you can contact the author directly via the links I am going to share or you can contact me and I will put you in touch with her.
Genre: Young Adult
Title: Alice Acadamy (Book 1)
Synopsis:
My name is Lunar Graves, and this is my story.
For a long time I lived a boring, normal life. I thought it would be that way forever. It was the events of parent’s divorce and my expulsion from my school that landed me in Alice Acadamy. That was where I discovered how different from you I really am.
Alice Acadamy on Facebook:

Genre: Young Adult
Title: Finding Alice (Book 2)
Synopsis:
My name is Lunar Graves, and this continues my story.
The year after Alice Acadamy was bombed, I saw nothing but hard times. My struggle to seem human proved to be futile with a war nipping at my heels. The world was collapsing-power spikes from an unknown source interfered with satellites and the government posted bounties on Godchildren. I had to get my power back and needed to find Alice to do so, but how was I suppose to find a person no one was for certain existed?
Finding Alice on Facebook:

Genre: Young Adult
Title: Good-Bye Alice (Book 3)
Synopsis:
My name is Lunar Graves, and this is the end of my story.
You won’t find it on the Best Seller’s list or in your public library because it never happened, or at least, they don’t want you to think it did.

NEW RELEASE:
Eleven Years Gone
Synopsis:
I almost had a heart attack when something came crashing down onto the hood of my car. With a scream, I slammed on the brakes, causing the back wheels to come around on me before I came to a stop. I covered my mouth when the pale form of a body rolled off my car and flopped onto the pavement.
