I received this ARC for an honest review and. Um, wow, um! Ok have you ever gone into a book after reading the warning at the beginning that says this is a dark read, gives you things that are in the book and warns you that if this is something you can't handle, please don't read this book? And you think, "Oh, it can't be as bad as this one dark book I read a while ago". Well I'm telling you I sat on the edge of my chair, holding my head, pulling at my hair, screaming at my kindle, choking on tears, gagging on words I was reading thinking " there really cannot be people out there THIS SICK.?", can there? I was to a point where I didn't think I could finish this book,couldn't take reading any more of Devon's torcher, needed to get the visual of reading out of my mind. But I had to know if Devon gets out of this horrible, which isn't even close to what has happened to this poor girl,don't think there is even a word that would describe what she has been through, situation she has been forced into. When Enzo came into the picture, boy was I hoping he would be her "saving grace". I mean, a new cop in the town, not privied to the things that have been going on in this town and to Devon. But Devon knows what happens to people she gets close with and it's nothing good.so she pushes his kindness away, until something happens that she just can't let go. Will turning to Enzo get them both killed? Possibly. This book is an on the edge of your seat, can't believe this is happening omg, I just want to jump in the book to kick someone's ass( more like blow someone's privates off) read. If you cannot handle reading about well, here is what the author puts at the beginning of the book: Note from the Author Warrant is not your typical love story. There are many lines that are crossed in this book. If you’re squeamish, or hate taboo of any sort: please don’t read this book. My heroine goes through a lot of horrific events. This book is about a prostitute. REMEMBER THAT. Not everything that happens in real life is pretty, and not every story is pretty. I wanted to tell a story that crossed those lines and make you see something from a different light. I’m very well aware that you all might hate me or curse me while reading … that’s okay. Read at your own risk. This is a dark erotica/taboo romance. Love, S.L. Schiefer. If you have trouble with reading about rape, you may not want to read this book!!! I really enjoyed the writing,not so much the events that take place in the story, but it is written very well and unfortunately sometimes too detailed for those like me who visualize everything while they read a book. I still can't wrap my head around most of what Devon had to go through eve an hour after reading this book |

DEFENDING HER - Cover Reveal!!
Title: Defending Her
Genre: Erotic Legal Drama
Release Date: February 16th 2015
SYNOPSIS:
What’s it like to fall in love? To have everything you’ve ever wanted in your perfect woman? To feel like your life is about to change forever, because you’ve found someone who completes you? Someone who makes you want to do better in everything that you’re involved in, because you know that they’re the only person who believes in you. What’s it like to have found someone who you finally believe is worthy of your heart? And how devastating is it when that one perfect person… is accused of murder? Jason Adrien is a new defense attorney at his father’s law firm. Constantly struggling to live up to his recently deceased father’s name, Jason finds comfort in the arms of Valerie Benedict, an enigmatic nurse who’s as secretive as she is gorgeous. The attraction between the two is undeniable, and the passion is more than either of them can stand. Regularly meeting up with Valerie to turn mundane nights into real life erotic fantasies, Jason finds himself falling for her against his will. But, everything changes when he gets a phone call in the middle of the night. According to the voice on the other end of the phone, Valerie has been arrested and accused of murder. As Jason listens to the details surrounding Valerie’s arrest, he realizes his world is crashing down around him. Everything he thought he knew about Valerie Benedict has been a lie. The person Jason was falling for couldn’t possibly be the same person being accused of this brutal, unthinkable murder. Or could she? Jason will have the opportunity to find out everything he needs to know about Valerie, because she has chosen him to defend her. As Jason and Valerie cross the line between attorney and client, and dive into a full-on conflict of interest, the two of them embark on an erotic rollercoaster ride with twists and turns at every corner. If Valerie is innocent, does Jason have what it takes to prove it to the world that believes she’s guilty? This case is more than a make-or-break for his career. Valerie’s life is on the line. And Jason will have to risk everything… Defending Her. *This Book Is Intended For Mature Audiences*Are you ready for February 16th? If not, check out these teasers for Defending Her...

“I didn’t know if I would have to spend the entire trial in jail or not,” she continues, inching even closer. “But, just like I always knew you would, you saved me, Jason. I knew you would save me, and I’m so thankful that you did it. I’m so thankful that you’re here.” Valerie moves over even more and her hand grazes my leg. The contact shoots a bolt of lightning up my body and I instantly feel myself getting hard. “I told you I believed you, and that I wouldn’t lose this trial. I intend to keep my word,” I say, but there’s more that needs to be said. “But, I’ve also been thinking about this, Valerie. Now that you’re out, and we’ve been to court, and we’re about to start prepping to go back to court for the actual trial for your life, me and you can’t keep doing what we were doing before. It’s unethical, and if anyone found out, I’d be disbarred. We just can’t keep doing it.” My words don’t seem to affect Valerie in the least. She places her hand on my leg and lets it slide up the inside of my thigh. I know that I should push her hand away. I should get up and walk out of here right now, before I do something that could ruin my career—but I can’t. “I hear what you’re saying,” Valerie replies, still using that husky, enticing voice. “But, remind me—what exactly were we doing before?” She lets her hand rest on my inner thigh and waits for me to respond. “You know what we were doing... This has been wrong from the beginning, and it’s still wrong now. We can’t do this.” “It was wrong? It didn’t feel wrong to me. It felt perfect. It felt like it was meant to happen, and it felt like we were a perfect fit together. It felt like you were made to be inside of me. So, did it not feel good to you?” Ugh.“Of course it felt good to me. It felt amazing,” I reply, but then I catch myself. “Stop it! I know what you’re doing. We can’t do this, Valerie."

~Shelly Lazar Marketing|Entertwine Publishing s.lazar.marketing.etpub@gmail.comThe homecoming celebration held in honor of Princess Faedrah is fraught with perilous frustration. Her nightmares have returned thricefold and, to her horror, a horrendous blight has spread like a plague throughout the kingdom. Compounding her worries, Rhys’ arrival in her world has been welcomed with the exact horror-filled reaction she expected. Her beloved has been cast into the dungeons, and no amount of arguing with the king and queen will prove he’s her fated love.
Magical powers were supposed to be a gift, or so Rhys McEleod had always believed. Too bad the second he landed in Faedrah’s world the legacy he inherited slammed into his body like a weight. He’s got zero control and his constant visions of Faedrah fighting an evil entity aren’t helping. At least her parents made the right decision and stuck him away someplace safe. Until he can figure out his next move, prove himself an ally and uncover the clues to stopping Faedrah’s nightmares, he’s got no choice but to wait…and learn exactly what he’s become.
One face. The image of one defiant, relentless woman has been stuck in Rhys McEleod’s head ever since he was old enough paint her luscious curves on the canvas. But the day she walks into his life off the street—sexier than hell and itching for a fight—he’s not convinced she’s the same women he’s envisioned since childhood. That is, not until he spots the golden key around her neck—an object he’d never fully shown in any of his paintings.
Now if he could just persuade his lovely muse he’s not the enemy. Unless the elusive Faedrah Austiere learns to trust him, he’ll never have her in his bed—the one place he’s convinced she belongs.
Though certain their fates are bound by more than the golden key Princess Faedrah wears around her neck, it is paramount Rhys’ true identity be kept secret. Should news of his bloodline ever reach her kingdom, their entire quest to save her people could be lost. Their only hope to prove his loyalty is to steal the map to the dark lord’s Crystal Crypt. Yet her a plan endangers her beloved more than the accusations he faces in her kingdom and, to escape evil’s grasp, she and Rhys must take a leap of faith beyond her wildest imagination.
Faedrah does her best to gather their closest allies. The sides are squared in a war to control the future of both worlds. With the stakes so high, only one advantage has been cast in their favor. The sigil of utmost protection inherent in Rhys’ signature. If not enough to thwart the evil awaiting at the Austiere gates, she could find herself imprisoned in the future, while her kingdom and all those she has sworn to protect are lost to the mists of time.

Title: Z-Radio Book 1
Series: A Zombie Apocalypse Novelette Series
Genre: Horror
Release Date: 1-17-15
Publishing House: Kingsnake Publishing
Synopsis:
My life will never be the same again! My entire existence changed when the Zombie Apocalypse started. I was bitten and thought my life was going to end at the radio station. My name is Cherise, and there are people out there that want me dead!
Excerpt:
Greg punched it and I was thrown to the ground when I lost my grip on the tailgate. A few zombies took advantage of this situation, and while I fought with all my might, they were overwhelming me quicker than I could fight. Inside my head, I felt my time on earth was through. Darren cried for Greg to stop as he fired a shot at one about to take a hunk out of my arm. I was on my feet and hurrying after the truck when one came out of nowhere and bit down on my leg. I screamed in pain and was pulled into the truck by Darren. His eyes revealed what needed to be done, and I did not try to talk him out of keeping his distance. The vehicle took off over the grass as fast as Greg could go. We slid to one side then to the other, and all the while my body began to feel different. I knew what was taking place and could do nothing to stop it. I felt everyone’s eyes upon me as stinging tingles coursed throughout my body. It felt like an unstoppable freight train was about to reach its destination. This was it and I knew it. *** I was propped up against the off-white wall of the radio station, where I felt death would take me. I knew I was going to die, and soon. There was nothing more that could be done for me. My will to live was strong, but it was fading fast. Five strangers stood over me, mulling over when I would need a bullet to the brain. The bite wound on my leg caused my body to convulse, severely. The male that was in the tree with us had already been put out of his misery. I rolled my eyes and stared at his sheet-covered body. A blanket had been laid over him after the gunshot split his cranium in two. Soon, it would be my turn. I watched as his deceased body was dragged down the dirty, alabaster tile to the rear of the radio station. That was a sight I’d never forget; the vision was burned into my brain. It was what happened to those that turned. I now knew that a simple bite could transform a human into a flesh eater. “Will I die, Darren?” I questioned the man sitting across from me holding the shotgun. His hand was on the trigger and his eyes were staring past me. “I don’t know, Cherise. From where I’m standing, I’d say yes. I am praying for you, girl.” He shook his head as I slid to the cold floor, where I felt its icy chill upon my cheek. It felt nice to feel something, anything. I could also feel what was taking place inside my body. It felt horrible and I could not push the stop button even though I wanted to.Preorder links:

cover reveal Dylan by Jo Raven
Tessa is this close to giving up – on her authoritative parents and their demands, on her studies, on everything in her life.
Including Dylan. The one boy she has loved since she can remember. The one who dated her and promised her forever when they were fourteen, and then dumped her without an explanation only to ignore her ever since.
The one who shows up to save her from the hands of her abusive ex before the stroke of midnight, who kisses her and holds her close, only to tell her in the course of the same night he doesn’t love her.
Tessa knows Dylan has gone through some tough times, and they’re only getting tougher - but is he telling the truth about his lack of feelings for her, or is he running from his own demons?
The way Tessa sees it, she has two options: run away, leaving it all behind - or stay to fight against her controlling family, and win back Dylan. She has a feeling he needs her, and how can she leave when he’s the only man who’s ever made her feel alive?
Standalone novel. No cliffhanger.
