"Great dystopian thriller from a debut novelist"

"This book is primarily aimed at the teenage market but ultimately transgress to the wider reading audience such as myself. The story is set in the not too distant future and the author touches on how much control the media has over it's citizens and more importantly the government (Sounds familiar?)

It is a fast pace story featuring two protaganists and a six month timeline, jumping forwards and backwards. You are left wondering what is happening until the end for the big reveal. The ending of the story leads the way towards the next book, and i for one will look forward to it."

REVIEW: Broken Last Chance Series - Book 4 By A.L. Long

What would you do for Love!!!

"No one would ever know just how much I was willing to give up."

There are things in life that no one should have to go through and Alannah had her fair share. With no chance of escape, being under the control of a man as ruthless as Winston Nelson was her life now. Every day was longer than the one before it and her hopes of ever seeing the one man she loved more than life itself was slowly disappearing.

When Winston Nelson decides to leave Last Chance for good, a window of opportunity opens and Alannah knows she has only one chance to escape. Her freedom comes at a price. Is she willing to risk her life?

Another great teaser in this book series. Its a great book but ends on a big cliffhanger. Made me growl because I just wanted the read the next book. Definite Page turner.

Lanie is kidnapped and tortured by Winston and a mystery man. The things they do to her to pervert her mind to their will is horrifying. She is drugged and starts losing everything all because of them.

This really brings into perspective the reality of what can happen in a lifestyle relationship or situation. How not every dom or master is good decent and trustworthy.I really like that aspect of this story.

Lanie is such an amazing character and I just adore Roman. He is her knight in shining armor. He has brought her out of her shell and accepts her for her shy yet feisty personality instead of trying to force her to be how he wants.

I cant wait for the last book in this series and I pray that Winston and his boys get whats coming to them in the end.

Award winning Author of the Independent Press Award and NYC Big Book Award. A.L. Long is also the recipient of the National Indie Excellence Award.

My love for writing began several years ago after an early retirement from a demanding job that I loved, but also hated because it consumed so much of my time. Now, I am able to focus my time on what I love. Writing romance has been a life long dream and to actually say that I am a published author is beyond what I would have ever expected.

Even though some may say I have a little naughtiness in my books, I look at it as an added bonus for my readers. After all what is a romance book without a little spice.

When I am not writing, I enjoy spending time with friends either at home or out on the town. Mostly, I enjoy a relaxing night at home where I can enjoy a glass of wine in the company of a good book.

REVIEW: Master of Madhouse (The Fergus She Vampire Book 2) By Cheryl R Cowtan

Jane Eyre meets Buffy the Vampire Slayer in this addicting Gothic Fantasy!

Determined to escape her possession, Rachel wields her demon's magic and accidentally launches herself headlong into another century, straight into the arms of sadistic and possessive Lord Gräfen.

Gräfen is an evil "Mr. Darcy"-- a land-holding, old school vampire. When Rachel appears at his Gothic mansion, her human frailty captures his interest, and Rachel is soon his captive.

Trying to elude Gräfen's sadistic courting and surrounded by a bedlam of servants, Rachel attempts to befriend the count's enemies in order to escape. But the lines of good and evil are not always clear, and Rachel finds herself in a deadly tangle.

Can Rachel find a way to escape Gräfen's serfdom, or will she become eternally obedient to his voracious and unnatural demands?

Such a wonderfully well written novel by Cheryl R Cowtan. A great second book in the Fergus she vampire series.I fell in love with the series after reading Girl Desecrated and I couldn't wait to read Master of Madhouse.This book did not disappoint one little bit, it brought a new type of love interest into Rachel's life.

Grafen is one scary character, I never know if he is the bad guy or the one keeping Scarlett/Rachel alive. He is intimidating and sensual all wrapped into one character.

Rachel keeps trying to do things she thinks will save the innocent people or herself but it keeps ending in disaster. It makes you really wonder if Grafen is just doing what is best for her.

At the end Angus shows up with the crazy Scotsman gang and again proves he is the most untrustworthy person in Rachel's life. It brought a tear to my for what he does to her and in turn what she has to do to Grafen.

5 stars

If you love suspenseful, edgy fantasy that digs up the unspeakable, then Cowtan is the author for you. Her novels won't leave you morose, but they will make you think about a lot of things... things we often ignore.

With a background in Social Work and Teaching, it is no surprise Cheryl's stories inspire strong emotions in her readers.

Her writing often contains themes of struggle, social awkwardness, betrayal, and determination as well as teaching workbooks and lessons on character improvement.
