Some girls dream about Prince Charming.
They want a perfect house with a white picket fence, money, security, and a name for themselves.
I am not one of those girls.
Growing up on the wrong side of the tracks, all I dreamed about was getting out of our small town, going to college, and making enough money to help support my family.
Love was not in the cards for me. And then Co ...more

**3.5 Stars**
Based on the synopsis, I thought this was going to be an angsty NA love story. But really, this is a whole other type of story, full of betrayal, manipulation, bitterness and hurt- and it definitely had the angst I was expecting, just in different ways! And it doesn't hurt that there happens to be a sexy, super talented and good natured tattoo artist in the story

Cheaters, Romance, Revenge
This is the story about college student Emma, who arrives home to her apartment one day only to find her fiancé (Connor) balls deep in a buxom blonde.

4 cranky stars

I enjoyed reading this book and felt I knew the characters.

Emma was from the wrong side of the tracks living with an alcoholic mother and her sweet younger sister. She couldn't wait to go to college to get away. Here she met Connor and couldn't believe her luck, rich kid Connor wanted her. She had met his family after Connor proposed and his father said he would pay for all her sister's education. The book starts with her walking into their bedroom to find him with another woman. ...more

She thought that they have it all, living together, engaged, set to marry after college graduation. It was all perfect. Or so it seems until she came home and saw Connor doing a random girl in their bed.
For her it was over the second she saw him and she moved back to her dorm room. But for Connor it-s far from it. Marriage is a requirement for his future plans and he will do whatever it takes to make her come back. What he didn't plan on, was Ashton.

This book was previously titled Escape. It was one of the first books I wrote and was in need of a complete makeover. A new title, new storyline, and better romance. I had so much fun tearing it apart only to put it back together. Hope you enjoy the ride. The second and final book in the series Dirty Love & Sweet Revenge is in the works and will be out May 27, 2020

Just ok
This book could have been so good. It just lacked good writing. Also it ends in a cliffhanger. I will never read this author again. Most of the book was so unrealistic. If you want to go to college just get a loan. Especially if you are from a very poor family. It could of been such a good book, it just wasn’t.

Cliff hangers suck
I didn't hate this book. It was actually quite interesting. I would have rated it better if the editing had been better and the cliffhanger didn't suck so bad. It also didn't tell what Ashton needed to say to her. Which I figure is him sleeping with someone else when he left mad. To many questions that need answered. I hope the follow up book answers them all. ...more
