When Ash Falls - Rachel Van Dyken



#1 New York Times Bestselling Author Rachel Van Dyken returns
to regency romance with the last and final installment in The London Fairy
Tales series...A regency retelling of Snow White and The Seven Dwarves.






Ashton Wolfsbane,

Earl of Gyles, has taken a vow of celibacy after blaming himself for his sister

in laws death. After a failed suicide attempt, he's dedicated his life to bring

justice to the weak making it his personal vendetta to be the death dealer to

the wicked, also known as The Grimm Reaper. He denies himself lusts of the

flesh and is known throughout London because of his ability to kill

effortlessly and without emotion, that is until he meets Princess Sofia, a

woman hell bent on making him forget all his reasons for denying himself the

one thing he's always craved---love.

After rescuing the
fair damsel, he thinks his job finished, that is until he discovers he's to be
the Princess's escort throughout London until she's safely married. It wouldn't
be such a hardship, except the Princess has made him an offer he can't refuse.
Show her passion, real passion.

Four weeks of giving into the desire he's suppressed for so long--four weeks of bliss and
then they'll go their separate ways. But things aren't always what they seem,
and when rescuing a damsel, or making a deal with her, one must always be
prepared for the consequences.

Seven Royal Guard,
a Beast, a kingdom in chaos, and a girl as pure as the driven snow...Will they
find their Happily Ever After?



ADD TO GOODREADS






Ash, è un membro di una casata di rilievo nella società inglese, ma ha deciso di prendere una strada diversa rispetto a quella che sarebbe stata, se avesse onorato i suoi doveri di nascita. E' attanagliato dai sensi di colpa, per aver causato un incidente che ha provocato la morte della moglie di suo fratello. Per quanto lui non gliene faccia una colpa, Ash non riesce a risollevarsi dall'oscurità che lo circonda, e pensare alla morte come unica alternativa per porre fine a tutta la sua sofferenza. Dopo un tentativo fallito di suicidio, decide che sarà la morte la sua carriera, se non sarà lei a trovarlo per prima, andrà lui a cercarla diventando un killer professionista, viene infatti ingaggiato per eliminare persone scomode o per spericolate operazioni di salvataggio. E sarà proprio in un uno di questi casi che conoscerà la Principessa Sofia, delicata, capelli neri e labbra rosse. Nonostante il celibato che si è imposto come punizione per il suo errore, Ash non è privo di emozioni, o meglio di esigenze. Ha sempre tenuto sotto controllo i suoi impulsi ma con Sofia ogni muro sembra crollare. Banale, dite? Forse un pochino, ma chi non vorrebbe leggere del grande e grosso Ash, ricoperto da cicatrici di mille battaglie, con il cuore frantumato, ormai rassegnato ad una vita solitaria e priva di alcuna manifestazione d'affetto, aprirsi piano piano a Sofia, con i baci clandestini e proposte audaci che metterebbero a dura prova anche il più determinato degli uomini? A fare da contesto ai dibattiti mentali di Ash, se lasciarsi travolgere dai sentimenti o trattenersi fino a scoppiare, rinunciando ancora una volta all'amore vero, c'è una matrigna pronta a tutto per eliminare la Principessa e tenere per se tutto il regno e la qualifica di "più bella del reame!".

Personalmente ho un debole per i libri in costume, Orgoglio e Pregiudizio ha segnato la mia vita e continua a farlo. Le formalità colloquiali, il thè pomeridiano o i balli durante la Stagione londinese...il mio cuoricino romantico si scioglie!
L'ambientazione è l'epoca Regency, quindi i personaggi sono dei Conti, Duchi, Principesse ma anche valletti e soldati. Abbiamo un panorama storico direi piacevolmente descritto, non appesantito da tediosi obblighi d'etichetta o lunghe descrizioni di pizzi e merletti o insulse conversazioni a proposito del tempo. Leggiamo di battaglie, scontri corpo a corpo e passione...tanta passione per un sentimento perduto con nessuna possibilità di ritrovarlo, in un caso, oppure mai conosciuto, nell'altro.

Premetto di non aver letto niente di questa scrittrice prima d'ora, pur sapendo essere molto nota in America e in Italia. Ho partecipato a questo blog tour un pò ad occhi chiusi ed incuriosita di vedere di cosa è capace questa autrice così apprezzata. Ebbene ho scoperto che questo libro è l'ultimo capitolo di una serie che si chiama The London Fairy Tales appartenente al genere Historical Romance ma d'ispirazione fantasy, in quanto ogni libro ha la sua fiaba di riferimento, "When Ash falls" è liberamente tratto da Biancaneve e i sette nani....leggendolo scoprirete perché.

Ovviamente inedito in Italia, speriamo solo provvisoriamente, è scritto in un inglese di facile approccio. Il bello del romance storico è che la lingua è sempre piuttosto scolastica, senza slang o parole contemporanee, la frase è formata in modo statico e quindi è più facile seguire la trama. Nonostante l'ambientazione rigorosa, i dialoghi sono molto divertenti, simpatici e sfrontati, ciò aiuta a rendere più scorrevole la lettura e motiva il lettore a concluderla. 
Alla fine del romanzo, troverete una nota della scrittrice la quale tiene a precisare che, nonostante la maggior parte delle sue pubblicazioni siano New Adult, come Ruin, la sua passione per l'epoca Regency l'ha spinta a tornare al suo primo amore, Historical Romance. Ben consapevole di non esserne esperta, e del fatto che ci sono scrittrici migliori di lei in questo settore, desiderava da tanto concludere questa serie. 
Ho davvero gradito la lettura di questo romanzo. Non conosco i primi 4, e per leggere questo libro non c'è stato bisogno di avere letto preliminarmente i precedenti. Indipendentemente da questo, di sicuro colmerò la mia lacuna.

Paranormal Romance – A modern gothic.

PUBLISHER: Rogue Phoenix
Press


SYNOPSIS:


When eighteen-year-old orphan, Crystal Valdez, accepts an
invitation to the small town of Blacksville, West Virginia, she hopes to have a
summer to remember and a chance learn more about her parents, to also get to
know the family she never knew existed.



But the Lockes begin to act strange and erratic; eerie movements in the night
fuel her vivid and gruesome nightmares. To complicate her summer further, she
becomes attracted to the menacing yet handsome Cray Locke: her none blood
related cousin. He seems determined to keep his distance. The only bonus seems
to be the housekeeper and gardener.



And when a local informs Crystal of the secrets buried at Thorncrest Manor, the
kind consisting of a forbidden relationship and war between hidden worlds, and
witchcraft, she must decide whom to trust. Even if it means leaving behind
those she has come to love.











AUTHOR BIO:


Miriam is
from Cheshire, England and a family of six siblings. Her love for creativity
led to acting at her local theatre before being a lead vocalist in rock bands.
During those years, she often found solace penning her thoughts and
feelings through lyrics or poetry. She chose not to continue singing in 2006,
and two years later she woke up with the idea for The Lebrus Stone and began
typing, revising and editing it for the next seven years. She is now eager to
see what readers will think.

Black Lies by Alessandra Torre

Brant:
Became a tech billionaire by his twentieth birthday. Has been in a relationship with me for 3 years.
Has proposed 4 times. Been rejected 4 times.

Lee:
Cuts grass when he’s not banging housewives. Good with his hands, his mouth, and his cock. Has been pursued relentlessly by me for almost 2 years, whether he knows it or not.

Go ahead. Judge me. You have no idea what my love entails. If you think you’ve heard this story before, trust me – you haven’t
. 






Black Lies, by Alessandra Torre, what a great story... and I knew "The Secret," before I started reading because I read a spoiler! 
This book is so much more than a great plot twist. Alessandra Torre has a way with words; there is no doubt about that. If you have read Ms. Torre’s books before, then you know what I mean. If this is your first time, dive right in. It is fantastic and if I tell you more than that, I might spoil your reading experience, although it didn't for me. That is how much I liked it! 
What can I tell you? It is an exceptionally well written love story. The depth of our heroine’s love is immense. Heiress, Layana Fairmont, learns about love when she falls for Brant Sharp. He is a brilliant and beautiful man, he has always been brilliant. 
Brant started his own company, BSX, after building his first computer when he was a kid. Layana learns about love when she falls for Lee, as well. You don’t think you would like a book that involves cheating? Read it anyway, it is that good! I give it five beautiful, black stars and that’s no lie!


QUOTES


“When you really love someone, you cannot walk away. No matter what they do. No matter the lies from their mouth, or the actions from their bodies, you tie yourself tightly to their sail and vow to be there through thick and thin. Let the wind blow you where it may. Even if that place is a crash. Even if that place tears you apart and kills anything good.” 
**************************
 “Love isn't about being happy. Be single and be happy. Love is about putting him, his sanity, his happiness, first. If you aren't willing to do that then you aren't really in love.” 
*************************
“She stares in my eyes and loves me with a vehemence all her own. A scary, passionate type of love. One that rips away all pretenses and allows us to love each other bare and without consequence.” 
******************************

“True love makes a person reckless, makes them take risks and make sacrifices. True love tests the boundaries of our person, makes us yearn to be better and fight for the ground we stand on. I will fight for this love. Lie for it. Steal for it. It is worthy of that. On paper, we are a horrible match. I have no light; she brims with it. I am serious; she is fun. But off paper, that is where our magic occurs. I want to be more like her. I want to listen to her laugh and have had something to do with it. I love her completely. She returns the love wildly. This love is worth the unsaid truths. The hidden lies.”

Oltre i Limiti - Katie McGarry

Trama:


Nessuno sa cosa sia successo a Echo Emerson, la ragazza più popolare della scuola, la notte in cui le sue braccia si sono ricoperte di cicatrici. Nemmeno lei ricorda niente, e tutto ciò che vuole è ritornare alla normalità, ignorando i pettegolezzi e le occhiate sospettose dei suoi ex-amici. Ma quando Noah Hutchins, il "bad boy" del quartiere irrompe nella sua vita con la sua giacca di pelle, i suoi modi da duro e la sua inspiegabile comprensione, il mondo di Echo cambia. All'apparenza i due non hanno nulla in comune, e i segreti che custodiscono rendono complicato il loro rapporto. Eppure, a dispetto di tutto, non riescono a fare a meno l'uno dell'altra. Dove li porterà l'attrazione che li consuma e cos'è disposta a rischiare Echo per l'unico ragazzo che potrebbe insegnarle di nuovo ad amare?

Ho finito adesso di leggere "Oltre i limiti" di Katie McGarry. Continuavo a scorrere il dito sul touch screen del mio kindle con la speranza che dal nulla spuntassero ulteriori capitoli (La fregatura di non avere il libro in "carta e inchiostro").

Un new adult diverso da tutti quelli che ho letto fin'ora, con due protagonisti molto interessanti per una storia tutt'altro che banale.



Echo Emerson, una cascata di riccioli rossi, con un fisico da sballo ed un nome importante, insieme alle amiche Lila e Grace è sempre stata la reginetta della scuola. Abile ballerina, pittrice di talento, raggiunge le vette più alte di popolarità quando inizia la sua storia con Luke, il capitano della squadra di basket.

Improvvisamente, circa un mese prima della fine del secondo anno, Echo smette di frequentare la scuola, per poi riapparire l'anno successivo, molto cambiata.

Echo non è più così popolare: lascia Luke, non balla più, non frequenta più corsi d'arte, e indossa sempre indumenti a maniche lunghe.

Ed è a quel punto che la sua vita si intreccia a quella di Noah Hitchins: bello e dannato, sembra usare le ragazze come fazzoletti. Passa da una famiglia affidataria all'altra, fuma spinelli in compagnia degli amici Isaiah e Beth, scarseggiando dunque sul suo rendimento scolastico, ed è seguito dalla psicologa della scuola, la signora Collins.

Sarà proprio lei a fare incontrare Echo e Noah, e a renderli indispensabili, una per l'altro...



Spero di avervi incuriosito abbastanza, ciò che vi ho scritto non è altro che una piccolissima, anzi, minuscola parte della meravigliosa storia, carica di colpi di scena, di sentimenti contrastanti, di illusioni e delusioni. Una storia che vi farà venire voglia di leggere a qualunque ora, e che vi farà sentire così vicine ai protagonisti da farvi credere che possano esistere davvero, in questo o in un'altro mondo!

Buona lettura!!!

UNTIL YOU FIND ME - Amber Hart


HART_UntilYouFindMe_tw


UNTIL YOU FIND ME by Amber Hart is available today! It's both unbelievably sexy and thrilling, so be sure to check it out!



About UNTIL YOU FIND ME: 

Until You Find Me-FINAL3-3Amber Hart pushes contemporary romance to its wildest limits in this heart-pounding novel, the story of a girl who travels to Africa to protect the legacy of one man . . . and stays for the love of another.

Raven Moore, a twenty-year-old college student from Michigan, feels out of place in the beautiful, treacherous jungles of Cameroon, staying in the habitat where her father gave his life to help protect endangered gorillas. He left home years ago; now Raven refuses to return home until she unravels the truth about his last days.

Raven certainly doesn’t count on crossing paths with a handsome young hunter—especially one as charismatic and intense as Jospin Tondjii. Instantly, she’s hooked. But Jospin is hiding a dark truth: He is the heir to a powerful poaching empire, part of a ruthless black market that is responsible for the dwindling gorilla population.

Their fathers may have been enemies, but Raven and Jospin forge a bond that goes beyond blood, a relationship that is tested as Raven draws closer to the source of her father’s death. Can she and Jospin bear the weight of the secrets of the wild—and the secrets of their pasts? Or will the rain forest destroy them both?

Little Black Book - Tabatha Vargo / Melissa Andrea

Il mio nome è  Sebastian Black, e voglio comprarti. Posso avere ogni donna che voglio, ma ho scelto te.  
NESSUNA RELAZIONE, SOLO SESSO. 

Questa è la  mia offerta… 
Metterò il tuo nome nella mia AGENDA NERA, e quando ti voglio, ti chiamerò. Quando ti chiamo tu verrai, in diversi modi. Sarà un accordo piacevole per entrambi.

Ci sono solo due regole: 
NON TI NEGARE MAI A ME. 
NON INNAMORARTI DI ME. 

Se farai una di queste cose, ti cancellerò dalla mia agenda e i pagamenti cesseranno. 
Abbiamo un accordo ?  

Sebastian Black è un uomo d'affari senza scrupoli. Dopo aver vissuto un'infanzia difficile, è riuscito misteriosamente a diventare ricco e adesso gestisce un locale notturno di successo, il Clive's. La sua mania di controllo, incentrata principalmente nella sfera sessuale, gli permette di gestire a suo piacimento il rapporto con l'altro sesso, Non desidera una relazione amorosa, non crede nell'amore, ma solo una compagnia casuale per alleviare qualche prurito. Non vuole nemmeno conoscere i nomi delle sue avventure, ci pensa lui a dargli il soprannome appropriato, sempre il nome di un cartone animato. Quando incontra qualcuna che le piace, deve averne la completa proprietà. Si segna religiosamente nella sua agendina nera il soprannome, contatti, qualità sessuali di rilievo. Provvede un pagamento diretto per le loro prestazioni che sono chiamate a fare quando lui decide di contattarle, non ci sono accordi sul giorno e ora. Quando lui le vuole, chiama. Se provano a negarsi anche solo per una volta o percepisce il desiderio della donna di un rapporto più intimo rispetto a quello del sesso occasionale, il nome sarà cancellato dalla lista e i privilegi termineranno. 

Women threw themselves at my cock, like it was made of pure gold. I didn't turn anyone away. Until eventually, I got bored with the same tedious women and their dull positions. Taking matters into my own hands, I started a little black book. Inside my book was a buffet of women who were willing and ready for my call. Each one specialized in something different, and each one was named after a cartoon character of my choosing.

Filthy series - Megan D. Martin

***Filthy is a dark erotic serial novel that will release monthly in segments of around 50 pages each. This book is not for those who like a traditional heroine. Faye and Rhett's story is dark, complicated, and twisted with themes that are not acceptable to all readers. Read at your own risk.***

Teresa really enjoyed these books. Here's 

her 5 star review.



If you have not read Filthy 1, or Filthy 2, read those first! I love dark romance & erotica. I love books that are psychologically thrilling and shocking, dark and edgy... The Filthy serial is so well written. Each volume will leave you with an elevated heart rate. Megan D. Martin leads us into a world of depravity, beyond what I expected. Her writing is gritty and gutsy - Visit Megan's Goodreads author's page. She explains how she wanted to write a really dirty story about a young, homeless, prostitute. That is exactly what she did, and it is excellent. 
[ SPOLIER: I understood why Faye wanted to die. I thought it would be better for her to die!] The level of emotion and anxiety that Martin was able to pull out of me made for a very exciting read. Filthy 4 is due out November 3rd, and I really want it now!

Cadence
Cade.
He had her love. Her devotion. He destroyed her with it!
Years I loved Faye Avery from a distance, watched my brother have something he didn't deserve. She was always too good for him. Dante had a need for control and that grew with him from childhood, infecting her to bend to his whim.
When Dante abandoned her, the girl who put his future and needs before her own, I rediscovered the girl who lost herself to the heartache. She blossomed and flourished in the light of the love she deserved - until he robbed me of her. Breaking her down, dimming the essence of the woman she had become.
Dante had a darkness inside him that led him down a path of depravity. He was too far gone. He functioned on corruption, humiliation, power and retribution, and all for something that never happened.
What he forgets is this! I not only wear his face, I carry the darkness inside of me too, and my wrath will coat him with it so thick he will drown under the rain of my reckoning.
He wants Star, a memory of a girl he used to know. He stole Faye, a woman who owns my heart and is the cadence in mine.
I will find him.
I will take her from him.
And then I will kill him.

Heartsick-final cover

About HEARTSICK

Quinn is looking forward to her senior year. She has big plans to hang out with her best friend Mandy, flirt with cute boy-genius Rashid, party at her favorite dive bar, and figure out what she’s going to do after graduation with her not-so-useful art major degree. But that is before she meets Luke, a hot townie who moves back home to help take care of his dying sister. And it is before the weird epidemic that starts sweeping campus in which people’s eyes mysteriously turn purple. Is it an odd side effect from a new party drug? Is it a rogue bacteria that was developed in a campus lab? Whatever it is, tensions are heating up as the town starts blaming the university, and the student religious group is convinced that it’s the mark of the devil. Quinn and Luke are caught in the middle, especially when Quinn learns that Luke isn’t just a happy-go-lucky, redneck boy-next-door—he is a detective—a fact that triggers Quinn’s phobia of guns and memories of her deceased uncle. In spite of herself and her desire to remain unattached and independent, Quinn finds herself falling for him. But when town and gown relations heat up even further, and Quinn’s friend Danny mysteriously falls to his death, Quinn vows to discover the truth behind the epidemic. As she searches for the people responsible, she realizes that sometimes to gain your independence, you have to be willing to give a little bit of it up.

Excerpt from HEARTSICK

“Did you go to college?”
His jaw is tight. “Yes.”
“Do you think I could guess your major?” I ask.
“Probably not,” he says.
I don’t like that I don’t even get a hint at what he did before or what he studied. I shrug, start on my second hotdog and then lean back, really aiming for a glint in my eye, if that’s possible to control. I’ll make this a game. “Well, do you think you can guess mine?”
He smiles. “Do I get something if I guess right?”
I hop up onto a stool and let the tip of my toe brush against his knee. When I make contact, he starts, before leaning in. “What do you want?”
“I want a lot of things…” He stares at me. “But for now, I’d settle for a second date.”
“Okay, if you can guess my major, on the first try—” I emphasize that bit with a pointed finger, “—then I’ll reluctantly agree to go out with you again.”
“I don’t like the reluctant part, but I’ll take what I can get. Now, let’s see…” He rubs his chin as though he’s an old-timey detective. He’s ready to pace back and forth across the room with a pipe and a deerstalker hat. “You like photography.”
Shit, he does know that. I start to hum the Jeopardy! theme song. Maybe if time is running out he’ll be more likely to guess quickly and get it wrong? Do I want him to get it wrong?
“Okay, I got it.” He rubs his hands together. “You’re an art major.” His cheeks swell with the weight of his smile.
“You got that just because I take pictures?” I rub my forehead.
“I know more than that.”
“Someone told you,” I say. “If this bet was rigged, it doesn’t count.”
He jerks back and shakes his head, frowning. “No, I wouldn’t do that,” he says. “I noticed you had some pottery on your coffee table, with initials on it, a Q. B.?”
I nod. He’s talking about the bowl I made last year. Initials usually go on the bottom, but I painted them big and proud in the middle. And the bowl is empty. Mandy and I haven’t decided what to put in it. We narrowed it down to fake fruit (lame), M&M’S (which we would devour) or Micro Machines. Clearly, we’re leaning toward Micro Machines.
Luke takes my hand. I think he’s trying to convey his earnestness, his respectability and seriousness of not tricking me into a bet. The pads of my fingers brush against his rough palms and I suppress a sigh. His thumb runs along my pointer finger, sliding to the fingernail. “You also have paint under your nails.” His victorious, smug smile is in full bloom.
I pull my hand away, embarrassed. “Yeah, it’s hard to get all the paint off.”
“I’m sure,” he says.

The White Years Quartet (The adventures of Eleanor Schreiber, submissive)

Teresa tells us about dark romance/erotica, and her love for the author Tiffany Reisz.


The Saint (The Original Sinners: White Years #1)



In the beginning, there was him. 



Gutsy, green-eyed Eleanor never met a rule she didn't want to break. She's sick of her mother's zealotry and the confines of Catholic school, and declares she'll never go to church again. But her first glimpse of beautiful, magnetic Father Søren Stearns and his lust-worthy Italian motorcycle is an epiphany. Suddenly, daily Mass seems like a reward, and her punishment is the ache she feels when they're apart. He is intelligent and insightful and he seems to know her intimately at her very core. Eleanor is consumed—and even she knows that can't be right. 



But when one desperate mistake nearly costs Eleanor everything, it is Søren who steps in to save her. She vows to repay him with complete obedience…and a whole world opens before her as he reveals to her his deepest secrets. 


Danger can be managed—pain, welcomed. Everything is about to begin.



Teresa Review



I will read anything Tiffany Reisz writes. Her voice is extraordinary. If you have not already read The Original Sinners series, starting with The Siren, I urge you not to cheat yourself out of that experience. After that, we continue with The Original Sinners: White Years, beginning with The Saint. It is not necessary to read the first series, but it is truly amazing erotic fiction. 


The Saint tells us Nora’s story from the beginning. If you think you must already know her story because you read the first four books, you are wrong! Reisz cleverly feeds us details that we never knew, while at the same time giving us a look at what is possibly to come. 


The Saint is captivating, Reisz effortlessly moves the reader forward. You will be mesmerized and then it will be over! So, like I said, if you have not already, begin with The Siren and you will have much more pleasure and pain to look forward to. I binge read all four books in the first series! I am kind of crazy like that. Tiffany Reisz is one of my favorite authors. If you are ever in a “book slump,” read or reread one of her books or novellas and you should be good to go!


Now, I am patiently (not) waiting for The King. Some of you might think it is wrong for me to jump the gun and say that The King is going to be an equally impressive five star read. I, however, do not!

Release Day Blitz: THIS SWEET ESCAPE by J. Evans

tse-release

If you love sexy NA romance, you have got to get your hands on THIS SWEET ESCAPE by Jessie Evans writing as J. Evans, which releases today!


About This Sweet EscapeThiSweetEscape_Final
A dark, sexy, emotionally charged romance series by NYT and USA Today Bestselling author Jessie Evans writing as J. Evans

Can you run far enough, fast enough, to escape a broken heart?

Samantha

For six months I’ve hidden my shameful secret behind my “good girl” image. Perfect grades, perfect smile, perfectly fractured family, with a stepbrother who swears he loves me, and a stepmom who buys me designer clothes—even a perfect boyfriend. I’m the only one who knows that Danny’s life has been anything but picture perfect. He’s always trusted me with his truth; I only want to escape mine. But now I know that’s impossible, and I have to get out before it’s too late. Reality has let me down for the last time. From here on out, I’m making my own reality, and taking Danny with me.

Danny

Since we were kids, I’ve known Sam and I were meant to be. Her smile is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen, and her laughter is a mystery I want to spend the rest of my life solving. No one believed we would last for the long haul, but I never doubted it. Not until this summer, when Sam meets me at the airport, and says it’s time for a great adventure. As we hop a plane to New Zealand, I want to believe we’re just getting an early start on the world travel we’ve been planning, but deep down, I know something’s wrong. Sam is running from something bad, and the bad things always catch up with you, sooner or later.

And when they do, they have a habit of tearing people who love each other apart.

Please note: The reading order for the Wild Rush series is One Wild Night, followed by This Wicked Rush, One Perfect Love, This Sweet Escape, and One Beautiful Revenge. The first three tell Gabe and Caitlin’s complete love story. The next two books tell Danny and Sam’s story and will release Fall 2014

WARNING: The Wild Rush series contains graphic sensuality, unconventional morality, and good people forced into making bad choices. Read at your own risk.

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, Jessie Evans, gave up a career as an international woman of mystery to write the sexy, contemporary Southern romances she loves to read.

She's married to the man of her dreams, and together they're raising a few adorable, mischievous children in a cottage in the jungle. She grew up in rural Arkansas, spending summers running wild, being chewed by chiggers, and now appreciates her home in a chigger-free part of the world even more.

When she's not writing, Jessie enjoys playing her dulcimer (badly), sewing the worlds ugliest quilts to give to her friends, going for bike rides with her house full of boys, and drifting in and out on the waves, feeling thankful for sun, surf, and lovely people to share them with.
