Blown away...!

It's pretty much a given that I, as an author love receiving reviews, and appreciate every single one - especially those 5 star ones! But every once in a while, a reviewer comes along and totally blows me away!!

I gave Melanie Lindsay a free copy of First Bitten in return for an honest review. And this is the review she wrote...

If you've clicked on the link and read the review, then you'll know why I'm grinning like an idiot, and probably will be for quite a few days!!

Please click the 'like' button at the bottom of the review if you enjoyed reading Melanie's review as much I did, heck, even leave her a comment telling her how awesome she is!!! Because reviewers appreciate feedback on their reviews as much as authors love receiving them.

Thank you, Melanie, for not only taking time out of your day to read, First Bitten, but for writing such a fantastic review, one that I for sure will never forget!

AN APOLOGY ...

AN APOLOGY ... to all you Nookers who have been patiently waiting for First Bitten … I know I said First Bitten would be available on Nook, April/May … but I’ve recently discovered that I’m tied into Amazon for longer than I realised. Sorry!! But by ways of apology to all you Nookers who have been waiting to get your copy, if you get in touch with me, either via this post or inbox me, I’ll send you a copy of First Bitten for Nook, for FREE!!

… and of course any reviews you could leave after reading on either Goodreads or Amazon would be massively appreciated! ;) Thanks! <3

Original Sin news!

So I've set myself a deadline for my editing part on Original Sin to be done by … and (hopefully!) depending on my awesome beta/editor/general all round awesome person, that I give her plenty of time to check it over, then I have to sort book covers, etc… I’m hoping to have Original Sin out for … w/c 28th May!!

So you may not see me around much over the next few weeks, but I will keep you updated as to the progress but come hell or high water, I promise I will have Nathan and Alex in your hands very soon!! <3

Original Sin

Here's a little taster of my upcoming novel 'Original Sin' the next in the Alexandra Jones series, which will be released later this year. I hope you enjoy it ...


Nathan catches hold of my arm from behind as I’m racing past the barn, yanking me to an abrupt stop.

 Tears are streaming down my face. I don’t hide the fact. I want him to see how much that hurt. “Let me go!” I cry angrily.

 But he doesn’t let go. And the next thing I know his mouth is on mine, fast and hard, kissing me with an almost dependency. 

 I fight him for all of about a second.

 Nathan backs me into the barn until I’m up against the door of a truck parked in there. His hands are everywhere, mouths roaming, clothes being lifted, unbuttoned. I can barely keep up.

 Nathan pulls on the door handle. Locked. “Shit,” he utters breathless. His eyes scan the barn. “Wait a sec.”

 Untangling himself from me, leaving me wanting and breathless, he goes over to the tool bench and returns with a hammer. Shifting me aside, I watch wide eyed, as he smashes the driver’s window out, puts his arm in and unlocks the door.

 “What?” he asks innocently, desire still stoking his eyes.

 “Is this yours?”

 He shakes his head. “Craig’s.”

 “Are you crazy? He’s gonna go mad!”

 An almost smile. “I’m all kinds of crazy.” He drops the hammer to the floor with a clatter and moves closer. “But mostly, I’m just crazy about you.”

 Something in my stomach drops then coils lower.

 The little space there was left between us he eliminates and his mouth is on mine again. I wrap my arms around his neck.

 He reaches behind me and opens the door to the back seat. He lifts me in. I shuffle back as he climbs in, straddling me, he shuts the door with a clunk.

 And then it’s just us. Alone. In the back seat of a truck.
