~ A summer love novella by A.M. Madden


Rebecca Stanton was an unemployed college graduate looking for excitement. When she stumbled on a new job opportunity with a cruise line, she packed her bags and never looked back.


Marco Puglia worked very hard to climb the corporate ladder with Sunset Cruise Lines. Offered the Cruise Director position on their newest ship The Horizon, he couldn’t wait to revolutionize the cruising industry.


Rebecca loved her new job and impressed everyone around her, including her new boss Marco. Getting hired by Sunset Cruise Lines finally gave her a goal to work toward. The only problem she needed to hurdle was Marco Puglia. Marco felt adding Rebecca to his staff was both the best and worst decision he’d ever made. In all of his years, he’d never met anyone with the tenacity, drive, and motivation that Rebecca had. He’d also never met anyone who affected him as much as Rebecca did.


On the one hand, an attraction like theirs only came around once in a lifetime. On the other hand, a career opportunity like theirs only came around once in a lifetime.


One romantic cruise ship, one hot summer, endless wanton possibilities.


Love on The Horizon is a contemporary romance novella meant for readers who are 18+ due to mature content.

Synopsis

Red.
Red is everywhere.
Not just red, blood.
Blood is everywhere.
It is all over me.

Cassie Whitlock has relived that day countless times in her dreams for the past four years. It left more than just physical scars, it has caused her to close herself off to everyone. She no longer believes in love. Love only ends in pain.

That’s why when she meets Luca, she is surprised by the immediate and undeniable attraction between them. She doesn’t want complicated and she knows he’s about to make everything complicated. As their lives become more intertwined, it becomes harder to hide her secrets, and harder to resist him, but when she discovers he has secrets of his own, she begins to question everything. Cassie has to make a choice: hold on to the ghosts of her past or be brave enough to imagine a future.

Can be read as a standalone.

Intended for mature audiences, 18+

Review

I’m always really dubious about going into stories where both protagonists are harbouring secrets of some kind as my head likes to dive ahead of the game and conjure up ridiculous scenarios as to what it is they’re actually hiding. I was dubious but eager with Every Choice as I was whisked along on a plot of heavy emotions, past tragedies and incredible courage.

I found the first part of the book to be quite funny as Cassie, our stunning, confident vixen and Luca our sexy, arrogant alpha became embroiled in a war of sorts as their initial meeting at a college party didn’t go as planned. It felt fun and light and entertaining and more than once I had a wry grin on my face whilst reading it, but there was some undercurrent running through the dialogue or the scene that always left you with the impression that both Cassie and Luca were hiding slightly darker depths than their carefree and frivolous smiles demonstrated.

‘“I’m not going to have sex with you tonight.” I must have looked as shocked as I felt because his lip twitched. If he wasn’t going to fuck me, then what was I doing there? That’s what we did.

“I am going to take care of you. I am going to be with you. I am not going to talk to you, try to make you feel better, or feed you.”

“That’s not our agreement.”

“Fuck the agreement.”

Cassie is such a complex yet simple character; her secrets and survivor’s guilt are shrouded in a mask of indifference and promiscuity yet under it all she just wants peace, safety and love. Luca is like a mirror image of Cassie’s struggles, they have the same deep seated fears masked by one night stands, but their stories of tragedy are very different and usually I would need a dual point of view, giving me some insight to the hero’s conflicted thoughts or feelings but Samantha Rey has managed to do the unimaginable and written such a solid and well developed book that I never felt bereft of Luca’s inner workings, his interactions with Cassie and the steady character development of both the hero and heroine are more than enough to enthrall me and have me praying fervently for their happy ever after because if two people ever deserved to get it, it’s these two. With sexual tension that is off the charts, a chemistry and connection that goes beyond sex and a penchant for pushing each other to reveal their respective dark secrets, Cassie and Luca are an ultimate book couple.

Samantha has offered up a gem of a read; it’s a tornado of angst, comedy, adversity, survival, love and a lot of sex. Lots of sex. Like tons of sex. And it never got boring. If you’re searching for a sterling NA read with plenty of hot and sweaty moments and a mature and well written storyline then please pick up this book. It is book two of a series but can be read as a standalone so now I’m going to go get myself book one and hope it’s as amazing as this one.

Synopsis

At the start of her freshman year, Addison Hayes’s world is tragically turned upside down and she finds herself spiraling into the darkness of destructive habits. Now three years later, she’s still battling the ghosts of her past.

With the start of her senior year, Addie finds herself entangled in a twisted game between twin brothers, Chase and Chance Logan. Their path of destruction leaves an already tormented girl feeling even more lost and confused. But sometimes out of complete chaos can arise a blindingly blessed insight whose name is Jake Riley.

Jake is like no other guy that Addie has ever met before. He doesn’t scare easily. Unfortunately for Addie, Jake wants her; darkness and all.

Will Addie lose herself in the darkness or will she be brave enough to finally set herself free?

Review

Addison, or Addie as she is known by her friends, is hiding a secret…a secret that she is still suffering badly from the loss of her sister and the subsequent behaviour of her mum and dad. No one knows, not her family or friends, the extent of the darkness within her and what she does to release it. And when Chance and Chase move into town they throw her already turbulent life into a spin. Are both the brothers just going to make her darkness worse? Or is one right for her? Or is the best friend of her best friends boyfriend actually the guy for her? Will Jake stick by her no matter what is revealed?

“If I hurt myself, I’d be hurting him. I didn’t want to hurt him. I didn’t want to see that look of sadness in his eyes ever again. He made me want to be strong… stronger, than I’d ever been before.”

I really really loved this story!! It was such a unique and interesting story line that is captivating, enticing and  thrilling. Worrying for Addie, trying to figure out just what in the hell the brothers were up to and wondering if Jake really would stick by her; it’s one hell of a ride!

“I’d closed myself off for so long, I’d become afraid to live; afraid to feel anything because it hurt too much when things went to hell. Just maybe, this time it would be different. I needed to be brave.”

I felt deeply for Addie. I was devastated for her. The grief over losing her sister that she never recovered from and the way she feels her parents are ignoring her and never loved her as much as her sister. She was feeling so much darkness and sadness and I wanted her to find some light in her life.

“How could I love someone when I couldn’t even love myself? And how could I completely let go of all of the guilt I’d held on to for the past three years and live a life without Natalie’s ghost haunting me?”

Chance and Chase were definitely interesting characters. I can’t say much about them because it will give away too much of the story but I will say they were a surprise. I didn’t see the way they acted or their personalities coming and they added a lot to the story line.

“With Chase, I sensed a danger lurking underneath, but it wasn’t completely overwhelming or one that threatened to consume me whole until there was nothing left but a quivering mass of insecurities and need. Chance would destroy me and strip my soul bare then leave me more broken than I’d ever thought imaginable.”

Jake was another great character. He was funny, strong, kind and wants to be strong for Addie. He wants to be the one who looks after her and helps her. I was on tender hooks when her secret is revealed, praying that he would stick by her and help her.

“Addie, there’s usually always a rainbow after a storm. The sun’s still shining even though it hides once in a while. It’s just a little gray right now.”

The plot was so captivating and different. It’s always so refreshing to read a plot line that you haven’t read before. There was a lot of sadness, I definitely shed a tear or two but there was also happiness and laughter. It was tense, intriguing and a roller-coaster of emotion that will keep you hooked to the last line.

BLURB

I met my true love when I was twenty-seven. He was handsome, charming, witty, and irresistible. Jayden Monroe came along when I was struggling with
indecision and made things simple, turned monochrome into vivid color, and forever altered my perspective on life.

I was not naive enough to believe in happily ever after, but with Jayden, it seemed possible . . . until I realized something wasn’t quite right.

You see, I met a man who would be anyone I needed him to be, and after I found out that fact, I knew it would be impossible to walk away. His disorder,
however, would change everything I ever thought about love and what it truly meant to accept someone for who they are.

This is not my sob story; this is his success story

Excerpt

PHOENIX

“Aw, Kitten,” he places his hands on both sides of my face, “Don’t be mad, I had to make sure you couldn’t leave…and I really don’t regret one fucking bit of it. Seeing you like this is worth it,” he says as he leans in to place a quick kiss to my lips.

“You’re straight up crazy, you know that, right?”

“That’s debatable.”

“No, there’s no debate, you, sir, are fucking cuckoo for cocoa puffs.”

“Uh huh, that has to be the lamest thing I’ve ever heard come out of your mouth.”

My jaw drops at his ribbing. “Dick!” I yell as I smack him in the arm.

“Okay, sorry…but it’s the truth.”

I smack him again, “Watch it, mister, I bite.”

“Oh, don’t threaten me with a good time, Kitten,” he says with a gleam in his eye.

“Good God!”

The doorbell rings. “Saved,” he laughs, “Ready to eat?”

I walk away from him, and out of his bedroom, doing my best to sashay my ass as I pass, and throw over my shoulder, “I have something you can eat.”

He growls, fucking growls so low and deep that the tingling is back between my legs. He snatches my upper arms and flings me backwards to him, my back to his bare chest.

“Careful, Kitten, I already want to make sure your pussy feels me there for the next week. Keep that shit up and I’ll make sure you ache from my cock for the next fucking year.”

Co Written By: D.H Sidebottom & Ker Dukey

Genre: Dark romance

Release Date: July 15, 2015

CU Synopsis

I watch you, I see you in ways no one else can, and through my lens I create a life of you for someone to dissect. I capture you in your vulnerability; that smile, your laugh, those tears. I document you and sell your secrets.

When I watch you through my lens you’re mine until I pass you to the buyer. I, like most people, have a fetish for pretty things and in my job I get to be around a lot of pretty things. They pay me to watch them and capture them in a frame for many purposes, and sometimes I like my profession a little more than I should.

I took a job to capture her… I wanted to capture and keep her in more than just the image. This time I will take myself away from the lens and become the client because I cannot resist her, she reminds me too much of my first, I need to have her.

Traumatised from a vicious attack, Nina Drake finds herself shut off from the world until her neighbour brings her out of more than just her nightmares. Even after moving and changing her name, she still can’t shake the feeling of being watched. The memories are so close.

And so is the shadow of the creator of them all.

I have always had a passion for storytelling, whether it be through lyrics or bed time stories with my sisters. I wanted to be an actress growing up so I could live many roles but I learned early on that my mind was too active… I would want to change the script.I would watch films and think of ways they could have improved the story if they took another direction so i thought it best that i tell my own.

My mum would always have a book in her hand when I was young and passed on her love for reading, inspiring me to venture into writing my own. I tend to have a darker edge to my writing. Not all love stories are made from light, some are created in darkness but are just as powerful and worth telling.

When I’m not lost in the world of characters I love spending time with my family. I’m a mum and that comes first in my life but when I do get down time I love attending music concerts or reading events with my younger sister.

Synopsis

Harper Connelly never expected to find herself outside of a tattoo parlor at one in the morning, summoning the nerve to take back her past. She’s determined to forget her old life and is looking for an artist who can tattoo over the scars on her back.

Trent Andrews, local legend and owner of the Second Circle tattoo studio, has his own reasons for specializing in inking over scars. And in spite of her mysterious past and the difficult road ahead, he quickly realizes that Harper is funny, smart, and–under her ridiculously oversized clothing and SPF 100 sunscreen–totally hot. He’s happy to take on the challenge of designing a meaningful and deadly full-back tattoo for her.

But when cryptic messages start appearing on Harper’s phone, strange deliveries arrive at her door, and Second Circle is vandalized, Harper is convinced that her ex-boyfriend has tracked her down, and worse, that he knows about Trent. Running was the only thing that saved her last time, but now that she’s started to put down roots in Miami, she’ll have to decide if she can finally fight back instead.

Review

So this review wasn’t supposed to happen. A good book friend of mine recommended this book to me and offered to see about getting me a review copy. My schedule is packed full right now so I told her that I could not accept a copy that I just didn’t have time to review right away. Instead this friend offered to gift me a copy and just asked if I would at least rate it when I had time to read it. Well as you can see I just could not help myself and I dove in right away intending to just rate it when I was done and move on. But then I met Trent and my love for him cannot go without mentioning. So here I am on a Sunday night ignoring my responsibilities and making sure you all know how wonderful The Strongest Steel is.

“I am seriously crushing on you, Harper Connelly.”

Mystery, passion and figuring out how to live a full life are the bare bones of The Strongest Steel, but there is so much more. SO much I want to talk about but would be doing you a disservice if I gave any of it away. Just know that Harper has been living a half life, letting the past control her future and she is finally ready to take the first step in taking control of her life. Trent has never had any intentions of settling down but from the moment that Harper walks into his studio late one night everything from that moment on for him changes.

“There had been a monumental shift. Maybe now she was running to something.”

The beauty in their relationship is that is was a slow build, patient and kind, Trent never takes more than Harlow is ready to give and a true friendship develops before anything else. Alpha in the sense that is is protective to the core and possessive when needed, Trent is deliciously sexy and his gentle heart makes him the best of kind of book boyfriend there is.

“You guys are like mac ‘n’ cheese. They both taste good on their own, you know. But together they are the best comfort food ever.”

The Strongest Steel is a book you can get lost in. Funny, suspenseful and a cast of characters you can’t hep but love. While I typically don’t love books writtenin third person this one was done so well I didn’t even notice most of the time. The worst part of this book is knowing that the next standalone in the series is not due out till I believer early 2016.

Blurb:

“It’s a new show, Quirks and Kinks. We’ve already selected a male reenactment actor to be your co-host, so you’re the last piece of the puzzle. There’s some seriously f@$%ed up sh*t out there that people are into, and the two of you are going to be the face of it.”

“I’m going to be the face of people’s freakish fetishes?” I asked disbelievingly.

Larry shrugged his nonchalance, shoving it directly down the throat of my panic. “Half of it.”

That conversation was the beginning of more than a show.

It was the beginning of mystery, friendship, and love, and the outcome of mixing all three together with two unsuspecting victims.

Easie Reynolds and Anderson Evans were drawn to the same, simple thing—each other.

But, sometimes, undeniable chemistry isn’t enough. After all, how easy is it to get know someone when they’re constantly pretending to be someone else?

EXCERPT:

“I’m still not even sure what we’re doing here,” I told Ashley as I glanced around at the cheap Tex Mex themed decor of El Loco Restaurant.

All around us, business-suit-clad, young singles chatted and laughed, sinking deeper into their margaritas and each other. A life untraveled stared me in the face, but it didn’t make me feel bitter or regretful. All I felt was stupid for being out and spending money that we didn’t have.

“You just landed a job,” she cooed before sipping delicately from the free water.

Giving her my undivided attention, I narrowed my cat-like blue eyes.

“Granted, it’s not a job you’re exactly thrilled about, but it comes with money, and that’s worth celebrating a little.”

“Pff,” I huffed. “So far, all it’s come with is a bag of muffin mix and humiliation.” Exaggeratedly, I checked my purse. “Nope, no money.”

Ashley just shook her head. “We’re eating one dollar tacos. Peanut butter and bread are more expensive. Relax.”

My fingers itched for a cigarette, and astute twenty-three year old lady that she was, Ashley didn’t miss it.

“Besides, if we’re going to get on the money discussion you’re going to have to take a closer look at some of your other expensive habits.”

Ashley had been trying to talk me into quitting for years, and I knew my lungs would thank me if I somehow managed to follow through. But for as desirable as it sounded, I just…couldn’t. It wasn’t so much the addiction and the work it would take to kick a years-in-the-making habit. It was that smoking had become my emotional crutch. My timeout in any moment of need and my excuse to busy myself with something other than being a bitch. I was scared of the chasm I’d fall into, the unclimbable hill I’d create with my auger-like anxiety.

My sister didn’t know any of that. No one did.

“I smoke for my career.”

Her eyes practically rolled all the way out of her head. “This ought to be good.”

“You know this industry is unbelievably vapid, and vapid means skinny. Smoking keeps me that way.”

She shook her head in disdain.

“And it’s cheaper than a gym membership.”

“Global warming, anyone?” she called dramatically. “You’re argument is balancing on some pretty thin ice.”

“Shut up.”

Suddenly, warmth wafted up into my face as our waiter shoved the toasty basket of complimentary chips into the center of our table. My eyes drifted naturally from the basket to the hand holding it, where a large, oval, heavy metal ring sat in blazing contrast to the tan expanse of his long ring finger, up the line of his muscular—deliciously veiny—forearm, to the cuff of his rolled up black sleeve. On a runaway mission of their own, my eyes wouldn’t stop, eating up the expanse of his bicep in an instant, stutter-stepping up the corded column of his slender throat, and landing on one of the most attractive male mugs I’ve ever seen.

A mixing bowl of ethnicity, his naturally tanned skin and dark features stood in stark contrast with the minty green of his eyes. Directly on me and smirking, they were mesmerizing.

And mocking.

Ashley spoke, as I’d apparently lost all of my normal snarky ability.

“Thanks.”

A small glance from me to her preceded his polite answer. “You’re welcome.”

She smiled her prettiest smile, the one that infused her entire being from chest to eyes, and the corner of his mouth notched higher in response.

A foreign heaviness settled in my chest as I watched, and its completely unwelcome presence nearly made me sick.

He turned to leave slowly, one last lingering look in my direction making my nerves ratchet up to an eleven.

Fuck. I did not like to be rattled. Confident words were my modus operandi, but a good earthquake could wreck even the strongest of routines. My table at El Loco, tonight—this guy—was the epicenter.

The man in question had just earned himself automatic placement on my shit list.

Straight, white, top teeth just barely teased the plump pillow of his bottom lip. It was unintentional, completely innocent, and hot as Jesus’ sauna.

Shit list position confirmed.

“You’re, like, really attractive,” Ashley noted, evidently drunk on her water and speaking via a direct link to my brain.

His chuckle was like a full body vibrator, skating through the nerves on every inch of my skin. One long-fingered hand shot straight to his neck, rubbing the uneasiness of Ashley’s compliment out quickly.

“Thanks.”

“Are you an actor?” she continued. “You’ve got to be, right?”

LA. Every attractive person you meet must be in the business.

I would have laughed at Ashley’s assumption and how ridiculous it was if I hadn’t been thinking the same thing.

He looked slightly bashful, but fought straight through the discomfort and answered her frankly. “Uh, yeah. I mean, I’m trying anyway. I’m not particularly successful.”

Distracted by my reaction to him and his honesty, I didn’t run a pre-check on anything coming out of my mouth. Not that I normally had the best filter. “So you’re another one of those actors, waiting tables to pay the bills and pass the time?”

He bristled, and rightfully so. But he did it with an otherworldly calm, meeting my eyes directly and speaking in a soft, polite—if only slightly teasing—voice.

“One of those? Oh. No. Waiting tables is my dream. I just act to fit in.”

My cheeks felt hot with embarrassment and shame, and the glint in his eyes told me that he saw it.

Sometimes I hated that my default setting was bitch. Such a dominant trait was hard to overturn. “Okay, so maybe that was a little rude.”

One corner of his mouth—the smug one—rose just slightly. “It’s a distinct possibility.”

Silence hung between us, but while my time was spent avoiding eye contact, his was spent calculating his next blow.

“I guess you must be something really impressive then?”

“Huh?” My wandering eyes shot to his with the focus of a heat-seeking missile.

“Well, you obviously aren’t on the waiting tables slash acting track that the rest of us losers are.”

“Um—”

“I mean, you must do something that really matters, right? Educating orphaned kids. Curing Cancer. Coming up with the way to end all of the world’s unrest.” Attractive arms crossed over an equally nice chest. “Am I right?”

For as confident as I usually was, and as many comebacks as I normally had, I couldn’t think of one single thing to say.

Unfortunately, my sister wasn’t suffering from a similar problem.

“Hah! She’s an actor too. But she’s too busy to wait tables.”

“Working?” he asked, one manly eyebrow cocking in time with his question. If I wasn’t mistaken, he actually looked impressed for a minute.

I was ready to leave right then, but Ashley, being the one of us with a conscience, had a knack for ruining a good thing.

“Oh. No. She’s just too busy being her. You know, cutting people like you down in her spare time.” She looked away, bopped to the music in the background. “But, she doesn’t do it on purpose. She was born this way. Cold, dead heart and all. I guess that’s why people like me still love her.”

I tried not to let her words hurt. After all, if I were describing myself, I probably would have chosen the exact same words, and because I knew her so well, I knew she was just trying to make a joke and bail me out of a situation of my own making.

And yet, I still couldn’t stop the smile from slipping and sliding its way off of my face.

It only took a few seconds to recover, but when I looked back up at the waiter, he was looking at me differently. Assessing.

Uncomfortable was too cushy a word for what I was feeling. Bombs exploded and sprayed shrapnel, the sharp edges of his scrutiny digging into the flesh of my muscle and making it twitch just beneath the not-protective-enough layer of my skin.
