DESTROY ME (DESTROY 2) UPDATE
Destroy Me (Destroy 2) coming in December 2014!
I've got my editing date set, and progress is being made. I'm really happy with this book so far. Anyone that has struggled with pain, loss, or trauma might see themselves in the way Kate and Reed react to their personal struggles.
I hope my readers will see two people that struggle, and ultimately overcome.
For now the price of Self Destruct has been lowered to .99!
Synopsis
Becca Scott spent years burying her traumatic past under alcohol and boys. With the help of her best friend she struggled to accept herself and let go of the pain. She thought she had her life under control for once, until she met Aiden.
Aiden Ryan lives with constant self-hatred. He allowed those close to him to manipulate his life for their own gain, because he felt he deserved it. He was resigned to marry a woman he didn't love, until he met Becca.
Becca and Aiden try and let go of their painful pasts to be together, but will their pasts let go of them?

4.0 out of 5 stars Lisa's review June 5, 2014By Twin OpinionsFormat:Kindle EditionThis book was really fast paced. It was a change from the slow build to the predictable. It was a quick read for me as well. Easily read in one sitting. I really enjoyed the characters. They were easy to relate to. Aiden is a sweet guy but he is in a relationship that is loveless. Becca is a girl with a troubled past. After they meet there is an instant connection. They just have to fight life's struggles and hurdles to come out together on the other side. A really nice read and well worth your time.
5.0 out of 5 stars Love, Betrayal, Family Drama, Friends - It's all in here! April 2, 2014By Stephenee CarstenFormat:Kindle Edition* I received an ARC of the book in exchange for an honest review. *
The story started out quick and continued with that pace throughout the entire story. I was amazed at how quickly time passed while I was reading it and couldn't believe that it seemed like I barely started and was already finished. A LOT of things happened throughout the plot, and I enjoyed them all. I really like being surprised with twists and turns throughout the story, I couldn't figure out what was going to be thrown at me next and that is a really big plus for me. There was lots of twists and turns, ups & downs, hot and steamy sex scenes and of course the family betrayal. You just couldn't decide what was going to happen next and I was honestly hooked from beginning to end. The characters were very well developed and the dialogue flowed smoothly and naturally. The storyline is really energetic and contains a snappy and realistic dialog between everyone.
You will find yourself hoping for friends like Becca, Aiden, Toni, Katie, Jeremy and Cameron. They are so instantly likable that you feel like you have always known them. Becca and Aiden are both trying to heal and move forward, and need each other. Plain and simple. You will want to scream as their friends and family betray them and you will be just as hooked, as I was and I completed it within a day!
It is most definitely worth the read, so add this to your TBR list and pick it up soon!! Just a warning though, once you pick it up and start reading it you may not want to stop so make sure you have a clear schedule for the day!! I loved the ending and the fact that it doesn't have to be the ending, that you can see more things to come in this series and I hope to see spin-offs on the friends, as they were awesome! I love this group of friends and want them for my own!

4.0 out of 5 stars Heartwarming ~ EndlessReading January 28, 2014By Nicola HornerFormat:Kindle EditionI want to thank the author firstly for reaching out to me on my blog asking if I wanted to read and review her book, obviously I jumped at this fantastic opportunity :)
20 year old Becca has had a somewhat "tainted" upbringing which has caused her to go off in the deep end trying to forget anything ever happened, you don't get to know the facts of what happened until later in the story unfortunately, but she has dealt with ALOT!
Having "fun" as she puts it seems to be the only way Becca knows of how to numb the pain...or so she thinks??
“I was on a path to self-destruct, but it was all I knew.” ~ Becca
24 year old Aiden is stuck in a rut, with no way out....
What can he do?
He's stuck in a love-less relationship, whereas all he wants to do is get to know the beauty of a red-head that seems to of caught his attention, which he can't seem to shake!
We can tell that Aiden isn't your typical hero in the book, yeah he is perceived as a ladies man but he had a "girlfriend" and he would do anything to help a friend out....your typical gentle, kind bloke :)
When these two lost souls meet, something clicks and their constantly drawn together.
Becca & Aiden try to overcome their past & present hurdles that seem to crop up on them along the journey of self discovery.
You will be hooked, as I was and I completed it within a day! There was lots of twists and turns, ups & downs, hot and steamy sex scenes and of course the family betrayal.
The characters were well developed and keep us, the reader wanting more.
Definitely worth the read :)
