My Review
This book was absolutely fascinating to read. It challenged me to think about topics I hadn't even thought of before and made me question things that I never would have. But above all this book was both witty and funny, resulting in a truly fabulous story that held me captive from start to finish.

While this book tells the story of Eve chasing her son Cain, it is definitely not a religious story. Although there are plenty of facts woven into the book, this gives the story substance and makes it that much more interesting to read.

I think one of my favorite things about this book is the fact that the secondary characters are just as strong as the main characters. They have their own story and bring lighthearted fun and banter throughout.Charlie especially is just hilarious!

The only warning I will give for this book is be prepared for surprises and expect the unexpected! There is plenty of drama and some HUGE twists that give this book a serious WOW factor.

By far my favourite read of 2016 so far. I give Midnight In Eden 5 BIG book love stars!

Hi, I’m Tommy Crown
I was born in Texas at the height of the Viet Nam war and the hippie movement. We moved around a lot because my father was in the oil business. Mainly in Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and South America.
My teen years were spent in California, where I was the poster boy for bad boys. I managed to get suspended from Beverly Hills High and wound up graduating from Hollywood High where the tolerance for bad boys was the norm.
I played drums in a band called, ‘Brand X’. I surfed. I smoked, drank, and chased women. I was pretty good at it.
The chasing women part anyway.
I did my time at Cerritos College where they handed me my first college degree. I now have a couple more. One from UNLV in marketing and another from NYU in journalism.
Next, I spent a few years in law enforcement (LAPD), before flipping to the dark side where I worked in a casino , (Caesars’ Palace) thanks to my father’s connections to the owner, the late Jay Sarno. It was there I found my niche.
I advanced over the years, became a casino boss and traveled the world opening casinos for a group of very wealthy Americans.
I opened the Royale in Port au Prince Haiti, the Flamingo in Madrid, and believe it or not, Rick’s in Casablanca.
During that time, I picked up the nickname, ‘Player’ and for some reason, it stuck.
A few years ago, I decided I wanted to be a writer. More specifically, a writer of erotica. I figured I might as well put my dirty mind to work. I’ve sold stories to Hustler, Penthouse, and Bitch magazines thru the years and their dough was good. Better than most to be honest. The perks weren’t bad, either. I’ll let you think about that.
I thought my years in law enforcement and my time spent as a player in the casino world would serve me well as a writer. It has.
I tend to write things that men can read while getting a haircut, or women under hair dryers, or factory workers on break. Don’t kid yourself though. Doctors and Lawyers read my work, too.
I currently work weekends for VIP Services, a private security firm I co-own that provides protection for entertainers and celebrities. The doughs good and the perks are incredible. Yeah, big black limo, men in dark suits and darker sunglasses moving the crowds out of the way for stars. Cool job.

Searching For Barbie By Tommy Crown BLOG TOUR with GIVEAWAY & my 5* REVIEW





Title - Searching For Barbie
Author - Tommy Crown
Genre -  Erotica
Publication Date - January 1, 2015


Synopsis:

Barbie was a good girl. A dead ringer for the famous doll of the same name. Everyone that knew her said she was the 'nicest, sweetest, most caring' girl they knew. But, did they know her secrets? Not even her closest friends knew how much she hated her minister father, or how pathetic she thought her mother was for allowing him to beat her into submission night after night. Barbie wanted to disappear and never look back. But, how? Could she vanish without a trace? She knew her father would stop at nothing to get her back. Perhaps, he had secrets, too. Barbie needed more than a plan. She needed a miracle. Will she find one and if so, at what price?

My Review:


This book more than lived up to the raving reviews I had heard before buying and if I could award more than 5* I would be doing so!.

The many twists and turns kept me continuously guessing throughout the book and kept me hooked from beginning to end. Forget eating and toilet breaks, Searching For Barbie was a read in one sitting kinda book.
As always the passion Tommy Crown writes with shines through in this book. I loved that we got to hear from different characters point of views, for me it really helps to understand each character better when an author gives us that and the story feels more complete. I was utterly enthralled with all of the characters, but especially Barbie. She crept into my mind and I didn't want to part with her, I was completely swept away on her journey.

Once again Tommy Crown has delivered a visual and captivating story that will stay with me for a very long time. I shall be eagerly awaiting his next release.

Ruin by Lucian Bane BLOG TOUR + MY 5* REVIEW + EXCERPT

RUIN The Waking

Author Lucian Bane
My name is Lucian Bane, and I'm an Ineffable Dom. That just means, do yourself a favor and please don't try to fit me into categories. Complicated Dom, Intricate Dom, or Confounding Dom work too. I don't want a woman I can break, or overpower, or exercise my dominance over. I want a woman I can come undone with. I want a woman I can jump off the cliff with into that abyss of holy hell, this is beyond me, beyond my control. And thank God, I have found that woman in my wife. I think there are many men like myself, and I hope my writing will be a map for them. (A map for women as well, to let them know Doms like this exist.) I want to challenge them to go for the complete power exchange with a woman, but don't be a coward and not give the same that they demand or expect. Consider that when you give one hundred percent of yourself to a person, there is no more of you to give away. You now belong to them the way they belong to you.
As young men, inner Doms need a master to train them. I once bowed to my inner Dom's reckless and tireless desires, but when I gave myself to God and conformed my will to His, that inner Dom bowed to His will. The transformation made me into what I am today. What many would call an Ineffable Dom. But its equal term in the Vanilla world, in my opinion, is a real man.

Paranormal Romance
Synopsis: 
To judge and execute. That is Ruin's power and desire. But Ruin's memory is empty of how he came to be here on Earth and why. After saving Isadore-- a neuroscientist living in the swamps of Louisiana-- from a sexual predator, she volunteers to help him. Ruin soon discovers that judging and executing wicked humans while linked to such a difficult and beautiful woman who can't help but involve herself in every aspect of his business, is proving to be more difficult than judging the world.

My Views: 

I admit to being a little nervous about reading this book. I enjoy paranormal but it so very often can go wrong, but I'm happy to say that Ruin absolutely blew me away and more than surpassed my expectations.

Lucian Bane has shown that he is versatile and able to  excel in different genre's. Ruin is VERY different to Dom Wars and yet, after speaking with some readers that would never normally read a paranormal, he has managed to make it easy to fall in love with not only the characters but also their journey too.

Ruin is very visual and it's easy to be drawn into the story and feel like you are right there alongside the characters experiencing their emotions with them. I absolutely adored Isadore and Ruin, wow is that guy HOTT!!

I am now eagerly awaiting for book 2 and give Ruin a very well deserved 5 BIG BOOK LOVE stars! Congratulations Lucian Bane on what is a smashing start to your new series.

Excerpt +18
She suddenly jerked up in bed and Ruin spun around. “What are you doing!” she cried. “I…” He suddenly found himself unable to utter the words 'checking on you'. “I was watching you sleep.” She gasped. “Oh my God, what did you see?” “I…” Again there was no lying. “Saw your breasts.” She sucked in a sharp breath. “I’m…” He let out a growl of exasperation. “Want to say I’m sorry but I can’t seem to.” “Because you’re not sorry!” “That…is absolutely correct.” She stormed out of the bed and made her way around to look at me, holding her sheet tight. “And why wouldn’t you be? What is wrong with you?” “I don’t know.” But he did surely know if he looked at her that he’d do something worse, so he turned his head away. “You-you come watch me, you’re not sorry, and ohhhh, now you can’t look at me.” She gasped and spread one arm out. “And-and, I’m just supposed to tolerate all of this?” she shrilled. “I’m supposed to be the all accommodating swamp slut host, to the maleficent… hominid voyeur with the ever hard penis but not from ever touching it, are you seeing the freaky in this yet?” Her voice had gradually gotten higher and higher. “And for fucksake! What is your GOD DAMN NAME!” He looked at her, breathing through the need that had spiked to dangerous from her anger, and now her close proximity to him in only that sheet. “Back up, Isadore. Now.” “Back up?” She stepped closer. “Well while you’re watching my tits, Mister, I was having a dream about a man who was in dire need and God told me to help him!” She nodded incessantly with crazy looking wide eyes. “That’s right, I was ready to get rid of you and so I go out of my way, go the extra mile and pray for your sorry ass only to wake up to you watching my tits!” she screamed the last. “You…prayed? For me?” “What?” Like that was the stupidest of stupid questions. “Why would you even do that?” “Because I’m Christian. That’s what we do, we pray for people who need prayer and you clearly need it, don’t you agree?” “So…you believe in God?” Already his disgust had reached massive levels and he couldn’t even keep the sick reaction from twisting his face. “I said I prayed and you’re asking if I believe in God? I know you’re not stupid and you did not answer me, what is your name. I am not discussing a thing more until I know that. Tell me your name. Right now. Don’t tell me you don’t know it, either.” “Well, what if I don’t know it?” “Do you not know it?” “I’m not sure what my name is.” “Not sure?” “Am I not speaking clearly?” She pointed in his face. “Don’t’ get smart.” “If you don’t quit being this way with me, Isadore, I’m going to remove your sheet and do things that will likely make you scream and I won’t stop until I’m done. I don’t even know what I’d do, but something tells me I’d take all the time in the world to figure that out until it’s entirely and perfectly done.” She stood with her mouth open. “You’re threatening to rape me?” “I wouldn't need to rape you.” She gave a huge exasperated single laugh. “Welllll aren’t you the perfect and astute virgin lover!” Ruin closed his eyes tight and focused the ice in his veins to push back the heat. “Just ask me to show you, and I will. I may be a virgin, a first time lover, but every second I can’t do what burns in me to do, is an eternal fucking torment. She gasped and when he finally looked at her for fear of her silence, she just stared at him. “You said fucking,” she whispered, dazed looking.

*RECOMMENDED FOR AGES EIGHTEEN AND UP DUE TO EXPLICIT SEXUAL SITUATIONS, AND STRONG LANGUAGE When Gladiator Inc, an adult toy company expands their market to familiarize the ‘vanilla’ world with the elements of BDSM, the result is a pay-per-view reality show with video feeds streamed live to subscribers.

This week-long Survival Round will determine the Top Dom, once and for all. The contestants are taken to an uninhabited island, where they will have to cross formidable jungle terrain. First Dom to reach the boat anchored on the other side of the island wins the million dollars and the title. Seems simple. Except Lucian’s old adversary, the Sadist Jase Duff from Round One, has been tasked with making sure none of the five teams make it to the boat. If he is successful, he wins the prize, only it's not money that Jase Duff cares about, its revenge on Lucian and Tara. And his sadistic need to inflict pain makes it game on.

Carnage 2 'The Story Of Me' by Lesley Jones BLOG TOUR + MY 6* REVIEW





Carnage #2: The Story of Me Summary
When your world, your life and all of your hopes and dreams for the future are ripped out from under you, how do you go on?
Death without dying is not only the most painful kind of death, it's also the most painful kind of life and I don't know if I'm strong enough to live it.
I spend my lonely days and nights trying to make sense of what my life has become. Do I have the strength to move forward into the light, or should I just let the darkness take me?
I'm Georgia Rae Layton McCarthy and this is the story of me, just me.I'm no longer a part of an us, it's just me. Alone. By myself.









 My Review:
Firstly I want to pre-warn all of you that when you buy Carnage 2 you are not just buying a book. This is not just the telling of an amazing story , it is a journey. One that will take you through a roller coaster of devastating emotions and moments of crying out loud with laughter.

I didn't quite believe that Lesley Jones would be able to pull off the absolute brilliance that she did with Carnage (book 1). Don't get me wrong, I knew it would be good but Carnage was, in my opinion, an absolutely outstanding book that was written brilliantly and Lesley definitely had her work cut out for her this time round but she more than pulled it off! 

Carnage 2 is completely and utterly perfect. It was everything I wanted it to be and more. I loved that we got to hear other characters point of views, I loved that she was so broken and wasn't instantly fixed and I FREAKING loved that Lesley Jones still managed to shock the hell out of me more than once. 

So I guess you probably all get that I loved this book HARD and wont be surprised that I give it 6 BIG BOOK LOVE STARS! Please do yourselves a favor and buy this little gem, you wont be disappointed :)

Also Marley is perfection, I love him!!!!! Fave character pretty much EVER and I genuinely cannot wait for his book!

Lesley Jones Biography
I was born and raised in a small working class town in Essex, just outside of East London. I am married with three sons and in 2006 we all moved to the other side of the world, settling on the beautiful Mornington Peninsula, about 50K outside of Melbourne Australia. It's a whole new way of life for us down here, we are so lucky to live in such a beautiful part of the world.
I am currently a stay at home mum but in the past I have worked at Marks & Spencer, as a classroom assistant/teachers aid and have run my business.
As well as writing, I love to read and have been known to get through four or five books a week. My other interests are watching my boys play football...The round ball version.  I am happy to admit to being an addict of social media and I owe a lot to my Facebook and Twitter family in promoting my work. I am also rather partial to a glass... or bottle of wine, a nicely chilled Marlborough Sav Blanc being my favorite. Being a born and raised Essex girl, I will happily admit to be being a big fan of spray tans, Shellac and am regularly, waxed, tinted and sculpted, although I am more likely to be found in thongs/flipflops than a pair of white stilettos these days.
