Creatively living through music, writing and yoga.
I love the arts and how they move you and make you feel.
Reading has always been a great love of mine right after my love of music. Each song written is a story waiting to be told. Which, along with my over active imagination fueled by desire to write about the chaos that goes on in my head.
I love stringing words together. I love making people get lost in a story and connecting with fictional characters that remind them of someone they know.
I published my first book Shattered in 2013. It’s the first installment in the Shattered Hearts Series.
Shattered started out as an assignment for a college course I took at John Jay College of Criminal Justice. After I graduated college I went through my old papers and reconnected with the story morphing into so much more then what I wrote in my college course.
Now you can find me doing yoga, listening to music and working on getting out all the stories in m head, including dabbling in poetry. (Which I’ve always had a secret love affair with).
Just not for Blue. He’d loved what he’d seen. Tall and thin with long blond hair and gorgeous blue eyes, Anna Hayes was absolutely beautiful.
She also wanted absolutely nothing to do with him.
As a professional hockey player, that was a rare thing for Blue Anderson. He was young, rich, good looking, and in the best shape of his life. He wouldn’t say he had to beat women off with a stick, but . . . maybe he had to brush them off with a broom. Still, bad puns aside, the truth was Blue didn’t have any trouble finding someone—or someones—to share his bed.
Except Anna.
Never beautiful Anna with the razor-sharp wit and seriously dirty mouth.
Despite his appreciation for her model good looks, Blue knew when to stay away. And his plan was to remain far far away from the woman who never failed to roast him within an inch of his life.
He wanted someone nice, not a woman who’d barbecue his balls off.
But then Blue did something stupid—something that felt incredible, but was also incredibly stupid.
He kissed prickly, gorgeous Anna Hayes.
And every one of his carefully laid plans went right out the window.
I loved the previous book in this series (Making Up), and while I still have to go back and read the previous ones, Handle With Care is another book that can be read as a standalone. The author does a fantastic job of covering the necessary information from earlier books while keeping the plot at hand moving along.
Lincoln prefers to be working with non-profits
and charities far away from his toxic family. Wren has been hired to handle the
most toxic member of Lincoln’s family (his younger brother Armstrong – ADF is a
real problem). When Lincoln is forced home due to his father’s death, Wren winds
up having to wrangle him as well. You know from the beginning where this is
going to end up, but neither Wren nor Lincoln does, and that’s the fun of the
story.
One thing this author does exceptionally well
is showing the reader how the characters feelings gradually change over time
through subtle hints. For example, Lincoln complains about (and generally
ignores) Wren’s incessant texts and calendar reminders…until one day he receives
one and realizes he needs to check the text in case it is something important.
He doesn’t even acknowledge the significance of his shift in attitude.
Along with the slowly growing romance, there are a few family secrets (from both Wren’s and Lincoln’s families) that create some friction and add some unique twists. They also add some depth to the character motivations, and there were more than a few moments where my notes in the book showed surprise at an incident in the book. Handle with Care is a great story with interesting characters. I highly recommend picking it up for a fun read.
In book five of the “Shacking Up” series, we have Lincoln and Wren. He is a reluctant temporary CEO; she is a media-handler for the company (well, more for his wayward brother). Sparks fly, but family secrets and other twists get in the way. I thoroughly enjoyed reading Handle with Care. I liked the interplay between the characters and thought that the plot was realistic.

I am a huge fan of anthologies, and one that focuses on the
summer is obviously going to be great! One of my favorite authors, Melanie
Moreland, contributed “The Story of Us” to this anthology. Sunny and Lincoln
(Linc) have a sweet romance, even though he has a horrible father and she is
from the wrong side of the tracks. Their romance advances during the summer,
until all of a sudden, Linc disappears, leaving Sunny bereft. As always, I’m not
going to spoil anything, but suffice to say that even this short story is
signature Melanie Moreland: it has humor, emotion, a little anguish, and a happy
ending. With many of her novels, you can guess the end, but the ride to get
there is always entertaining. This review was written based on a complimentary pre-release
digital ARC of the book.
I am traditionally not a reader of MC
romances, but I am always looking to broaden my genre base and read new things.
I am so delighted that I took a chance with Her Rough Ride because it
was an excellent read.
Right from the prologue, the story pulled me in. The mythology stories that Sebastian told at the beginning were an interesting way to introduce the main characters and laid the groundwork for the soul-searching that both Maya and Sebastian/Slade engage in throughout the book.
The details the MC life were fascinating. I know
next to nothing about it, but everything the author describes seems very real. So,
either she has first-hand knowledge, or she did a helluva job with her
research!
I thought that both characters were complex,
which added to the depth of the story. At one point, Maya observes that people
respond to events in a variety of ways, which means that there is no right or
wrong way to react. The insight she has was eye-opening on a personal level.
I particularly liked how the author let the
tension build between Maya and Slade. I also appreciated how Slade thought that
he held all of the cards when, in reality, he was missing vital pieces of the
story – just as Maya was; this made their relationship more tenuous than either
of them knew. But when they finally got together? Holy hotness, was it steamy
and oh, so good.
I also thought that the “suspense” side of the
story was well done. I look forward to future books to see what happens between
the RDs and the Forsaken (and I hope that the RDs do something with the MC in
Texas as well).
One of the best things about this book is that
it can be read as a standalone because the author did a terrific job of filling
in the details from the first book without losing the thread of the plot in
this book. That is sometimes a challenge in later entries of a series.
I do wish that the tattoos on the cover had been accurate to the character – I think that would have been an excellent tease for those points in the story. Other than that, I thoroughly enjoyed Her Rough Ride, and I definitely will be looking for the next in the series.
The second book in the Red Dragon MC series does NOT disappoint. More in-depth than the average MC story, you will get caught up in the relationship between Maya and Sebastian/Slade while trying to figure out the motives of Pops and other MCs. The author does a fantastic job of balancing the suspense and the romance. You can also read this book as a standalone – but it will make you want to go back and read the first one if you do!

BOOK DESCRIPTION
My name was Sebastian. But now they call me Slade. I’ve reinvented myself, become a man, been sworn into the Red Dragon MC. I’ve got tattooed and ripped to hell, I’ve cut my hair and my face now bears the scars of all the fights I’ve seen. The last thing I need is to face her again…
It’s been eight years since Maya ran away from the club. Sweet, beautiful Maya. My first love.
Why do I have to ride halfway across the country to pick her up? Because the club is at war, she’s the niece of our President and I’m the only brother who can be trusted to protecther.
She broke my heart, but I still want her. Do I ever. This woman is my goddess. She’s also my curse.
I need to focus on getting her home. But as soon as our eyes lock, she’s looking at me all kinds of ways. Like I’m the sexiest, most perfect stranger she’s ever seen.
And then I realise, I look completely different to the boy she once knew and she doesn’t even recognise me. I could tell her who I am. Or I could have a little fun with her first…
This sexy second novel in the Red Dragon MC series can also be read as a standalone. Fans of Kristen Ashley, Joanna Wylde and Madeline Sheehan will love the heart-stopping tension. Guaranteed HEA, no cliffhangers and no cheating.
As firstborn, my sister, Meda, will be High Alpha to all the lycans and vampires in the world—The Collective. She’s just found her mates and one of the three is heir to a huge witch Circle, which will one day unite the three major paranormal races.
I dodged a major bullet there. Thank Lucifer. I’m not a leader. I’m not someone to look up to. I like to do my own thing and go my own way.
Unfortunately, I’m pretty sure I’m fighting a mating bond myself. As if I needed three guys hanging on to my every freaking word.
And now, I’m having visions of what’s to come. It isn’t pretty.
My sisters and I must race against time to figure out what the vision means and how to stop the pending evil from destroying everyone we love.
Failure isn’t an option.
