K.L. Savage decided they were tired of looking for the kind
of books they wanted to read. They had an itch that needed to be scratched, and
as every girl knows, nothing scratches better than an alpha.
They write about gritty, alpha males, sometimes their dark sides, and the women
they love.
If you have the same itch, their alpha males should fix that.
Tracy Lorraine is a M/F and M/M contemporary romance author.
Tracy recently-ish turned thirty and lives in a cute Cotswold village in
England with her husband, daughter and lovable but slightly crazy dog. Having
always been a bookaholic with her head stuck in her Kindle Tracy decided to try
her hand at a story idea she dreamt up and hasn’t looked back since.
Can two shattered and damaged souls come together and find a way to become whole again and heal?
He has deep dark secrets about his youth, even his best friends have no idea what he endured and now those secrets are coming to light and his whole life is about to explode. He is ruined for relationships and trusts very few women. He discovers a huge secret and will go to any length to find out if it’s true. If it is, he has a lot to make up for and is determined to do it. He needs the two young women in his life that he has found as they complete his life and make him want to continue on.
She was betrayed by someone that should have protected her, but her life has been a mess for a while now and after she was kidnapped and made to witness something devastating and find out that there are secrets in her family, she is discovering that she has a dark side and a need to be reckless. If she doesn’t come clean about her experience it could destroy her from the inside out and she will shatter, and no one will be able to put her back together.
This story was dark, twisted, deep and steamy. The characters are powerful, dark and loyal to each other. They don’t worry too much about others around them outside of their circle, but those in their circle are tight and will do anything for each other. This story was deep and dark, but it was a story of two people that found their puzzle piece to help them heal and feel whole again. I give it a 5-star review and look forward to more in the B.A.D Inc Series. These characters may have struggled in their youths, but they have found their place in the world and won’t let anyone get in their way of living their lives to the fullest, while taking no prisoners.
Singular tastes. That’s what the Wilders are known for. I’m no exception. The world sees me as nothing more than a hedonistic pretty boy. But not everything is as it appears. One thing is certain. I’m a man who knows no boundaries. With no soul and no conscience, I’m free to take what I want. Including a deadly covert agent with a sassy mouth and an angelic smile. She doesn’t know it yet, but when Delilah shed her web of lies, she waltzed into mine. Now I’m free to enjoy her as I please.

About Monique
Growing up in New York City, I used to walk the hot pavements in the melting heat of the long summers, and dream. Uptown to downtown, eastside to the westside, and underground to catch a subway racing out into the boroughs.
During my wanderings, my magic pencil spun out fantasies full of romance, with first meetings, heartbreaks, and reunions. Sometimes my boy crush (unrequited, of course) starred as the hero.
I grew up, and after a stint in art school, became a lawyer ‘cuz a woman’s got to make a living. I came from parents who fled to France as refugees, and as an attorney, I dedicated my work to helping survivors of trauma and persecution.
I believe in them. In their grit, in their determination to hold on, to pull through and, somehow, someway, to keep themselves intact, body and soul.
Perhaps that is why I am drawn to writing stories of men and women who live through heart-rending pain, desperate yearnings and, ultimately, reach a place of redemption.
For a long time, I fought the urge to veer off the expected, safe path until I couldn’t go on unless I took a chance and made a change. I began to write, stopped, and began again. Finally, I gave in and here I am.
Come join me on my journey…

Logan Storm, an ex-Delta Force sniper, with scars on the inside, is drifting through life on his way to nowhere. While trying to make peace with his past, Logan encounters a young bar owner and her brothers, with trouble brewing the size of Montana.
Skylar James is worn out. She’s trying to raise her two teenage brothers and hold on to the only home they’ve ever known: 500 acres won by her father in a poker game before they were born.
Luckily for Skylar, Logan finds the peace he’s been looking for in the all-American beauty and decides to stick around Ennis, Montana just as adversaries renew old feuds and bodies begin to pile up in the aftermath.
CP Smith lives in Oklahoma with her husband and five children. She loves football, reading, and card games. Writing for her is about escape. She writes what she loves to read, and leaves the rest to those with better imaginations.
Skylar James is trying to keep her brothers and her together after losing their father two years ago. She is raising two teenage boys, running her father’s bar and working hard to keep her brothers out of trouble and on the right path. When her older, estranged half-brother threatens their home and livelihood they are all worried. They have felt as if they are alone since their father died, but this threat against them will show them that they have always been had someone watching their backs.

When he wakes up and finds the beautiful countryside around him where he stopped for the night to sleep, he is ready to find coffee and move on, but fate has other ideas for him. Little does he know that the peace he has been searching for was in Ennis, Montana all along.
I loved this story. While it is a story of an ex-military man that is haunted by his demons of being at war and losing the three men that meant the world to him, it is also about family, and finding family in the most unexpected places, times, and ways. Skylar James has three brothers, two that she has mostly raised since she was ten years old and an older brother that has never wanted anything to do with her or her brothers, other than hurt them and destroy their world. Logan was an only child that was raised in the system and found family in the Army and Delta Force, as well as when he finds a young woman two teenage boys sitting along the side of the road looking so devastated. Little do any of them know that their worlds will be changed in more ways than one. I give this story a 5-star review and look forward to more of this series. I hope it will be Ty and Jamie’s story next. The story was full of danger, actions, an awesome dog, and great characters.

Holy emotional roller coaster! This story was so hard to read but so well written. It is deep, emotional, and a story that needed to be shared.
Mandy is so lost after miscarrying and she has so many demons that she can’t ask for the help that she so desperately needs. It leads to her ending up in a dangerous place in her head and her father finding her in the nick of time to save her and get her the help she needs, but will she ever be able to find the Mandy that is lurking inside of her and find her way back to her family and the life she so desperately wants? It will take a lot of work and a village, but she’s willing to do what it takes to take her life back.
Dalton has his own demons and when Mandy turns her back on him in her time of need, he doubts himself and the man he needs to be for his family. He is left to fend for himself and find out how to be a dad and take care of Walker. He has no clue what he’s doing but he also knows that he will have to reach out for help, and he has a lot of people that will help him. He wants his family back together and he needs to be honest with Mandy on his feelings and not hide from the tough situations. They both need to work on their communication skills if they want their marriage to work and their family to move forward.
I loved this story even though I read it through bleary eyes most of the time. It was so deep, touching, and eye opening. It was a hard read, but so worth it. Mental illness is something that has been ignored or hidden for so long. The struggle that one’s mind can cause is so hard to understand for anyone that has never had the struggle or gone through it with someone in their life. It can be a daily battle for some and until they reach out for help or get the help they so desperately need it can be very destructive to everyone that loves that person including themselves. This story is a beautiful love story of two people that struggle with their emotions and their demons, but their love is stronger than they realize and will help them to come out on the other side and find their happiness and their strength. I give this story a 5-star review and look forward to more of the Heaven Hills Generations Series. This book is full of tragedy, illness, strength, danger, and wonderful characters.

Ravage
As president of the Untamed Sons MC, I’m no stranger to pain, but three years
ago Sasha broke my heart and put another black mark against my soul. Even the
mention of her name is enough to bring my demons out to play. I still don’t
know what happened, but what I do know is she walked out on me, the club, and
the future we were working towards without a backwards glance. I should have
known she wouldn’t stay gone.
Sasha
Leaving Rav was the hardest decision I’ve ever had to make, but I didn’t have a
choice. Staying and facing my past wasn’t an option. I suffered through hell,
but I’m stronger than I’ve ever been, at least I was until my daughter got
sick. Now, the only person left who might be able to save her is her father.
Only, I have no idea who it is. Ravage, or his brother, Sin.
*Warning : Contains adult content, reading age 18 +. Graphic
violence and dark emotional scenes that may trigger some readers.
As I push the button for a white coffee with sugar, I hear a
voice behind me.
“Sasha.”
Even after all this time, even after all the hurt, he has the power to make the
apex between my legs throb with anticipation. Slowly, I turn from the machine
and come face to face with Rav. My heart twitches as I take him in. He looks
the same as he did when I saw him at the compound, but he doesn’t look like my
Tyler, not anymore. He’s bigger, brawnier and wears a permanent scowl etched
onto his handsome face. His worn and battered kutte fits him like it’s moulded
to his frame, the ‘President’ patch on the front a stark reminder of the man he
is. Regret surges through me, followed by remorse. I shouldn’t have let things
get this far.
“Ty…” I breathe his name, trying to recapture my equilibrium. No one else can
knock me off target like him. He still has the ability to bring me to my knees.
He can still stir my desire and make me want him, even when he’s snarling at
me.
Today, his long dark hair is loose around his shoulders, which accentuates that
beard he’s wearing. He looks wild. It’s a good look on him.
“Ravage,” he growls. “I earned that name and you’ll use it, like everyone else
does.”
And just like that ice fills my veins and my desire washes away, because his
words cut me to the bone. Once, I was the only person allowed to call him
Tyler. Once, I knew everything there was to know about him. Now, he’s treating
me no better than a club bunny or an outsider, and fuck, does that hurt.
Jessica Ames lives in a small market town in the
Midlands, England. She lives with her dog and when she’s not writing,
she’s playing with crochet hooks.
They are not known for being a kind MC, but they’re brotherhood is loyal to each other, or are they?
Tyler “Ravage” is the president of the Untamed Sons MC, he was once a man that showed a kindness to Sasha, that was until she disappeared without a word. Her disappearance destroyed Ravage and made him into the man he is today and into the man that is called Ravage. Ravage was raised in the Untamed Sons since his father was a member and took Tyler and his younger brother James out of the abusive home they were living in with their druggie mother. Ravage, James, Sasha, and Nox grew up together in the MC. They were a family.
Sasha has never loved anyone like she does Tyler, but one fateful night and a betrayal by someone she grew up with made her run. She felt that she had no other choice after the devastation that happened to her. She ran away and stayed away until she had to return to the one territory that could bring up her past and a destroy her. She has no choice though and her secrets are about to be discovered, all of them.
This story is devastating in the beginning, and the action and danger throughout keep the pages turning. The Untamed Sons will find that they have a member that is high ranking that needs to be taken out. Unfortunately, there is a lot of danger to come before he is found and dealt with, and then there is the aftermath of his death. It will haunt for a long time. This story kept me on edge throughout the whole story. There wasn’t a lot of space where the danger, action, or suspense let up. I give this story a 5-star review and I CANNOT wait to read Nox. If you are reader of MC’s and love the tough guys, 1%ers, and women that keep them grounded, you will love this story. This is a great start to what looks to be a great series.

Author Bio –
Helen Matthews writes page-turning psychological suspense novels and is fascinated by the darker side of human nature and how a life can change in an instant. Her first novel, suspense thriller After Leaving the Village, won first prize in the opening pages category at Winchester Writers’ Festival, and was followed by Lies Behind the Ruin, domestic noir set in France, published by Hashtag Press. Her third novel Façade will be published by Darkstroke in September 2020.
Born in Cardiff, Helen read English at the University of Liverpool and worked in international development, consultancy, human resources and pensions management. She fled corporate life to work freelance while studying for a Creative Writing MA at Oxford Brookes University. Her stories and flash fiction have been shortlisted and published by Flash 500, 1000K Story, Reflex Press, Artificium and Love Sunday magazine.
She is a keen cyclist, covering long distances if there aren’t any hills, sings in a choir and once appeared on stage at Carnegie Hall, New York in a multi-choir performance. She loves spending time in France. Helen is an Ambassador for the charity, Unseen, which works towards a world without slavery and donates her author talk fees, and a percentage of royalties, to the charity.
A family with a lot of secrets. One sister wants to destroy the other and blames everyone else for the problems in her life.
Façade is the perfect name for this book. The Stapleton family puts on a great façade for the outside world, but the women in this story are harboring a lot of secrets, some from each other and it will destroy this family.
Imogen is the oldest and she is a wild child. She is spoiled and believes that because her family has money that she should get what she wants no matter what. Unfortunately, she does not outgrow this attitude as she gets older, but it seems to progress and get worse. She will stop at nothing to get what she believes she is entitled to.
Rachel is the second child of the Stapleton family and has always worked for what she wants and has. She started her own business while raising her young daughter from home, and she has taken over the burden of the mortgage on her parents’ home. She has kept her secrets from her boyfriend and because she can’t be honest with him, she won’t marry him. They live together and raise their daughter together. Everyone in her family, including Jack, her live in boyfriend, believes that because she owns her own business that she is rolling in money, but they have no idea that she struggles to keep everything afloat, including her business. She just wants a normal life with her daughter and Jack, but when her sister returns home things get even worse.
I really enjoyed this book and the characters were great. Imogen is a scary woman. The way her mind works puts everyone she knows is danger. The suspense in this story as well as the story plot kept the pages turning in this book. I never knew what to expect from Imogen, and the secrets being revealed are unpredictable. Rachel is the only sane Stapleton in this story as far as I am concerned. Max’s illness makes him very unpredictable and is probably good for him. If he knew what was going on half the time, I think he could be a game changer. I give this story a 5-star review and if you like stories with family drama, then you’ll love this book.
I read lots of books, from mythology retellings to literary fiction and I love to reread books from childhood, this is a place to voice my thoughts for fun. I also like to ramble about things such as art or nature every now and again.
