COVER REVEAL - YES, Master by Margaret Mcheyzer

Yes, Master
by Margaret McHeyzer
Ebook

Blurb:

My uncle raped me.
I was 10 years old when it started.
At 13 he told me I was no longer wanted because I had started to develop.
At 16 I was ready to kill him.
Today, I’m broken.
Today, I only breathe to survive.
My name’s Sergeant Major Ryan Jenkins and today, I’m ready to tell you my story.

“Master would flog me if I did, she won’t be happy when I tell her what happened here.”
“Master?”
“Stella.”
Oh, Master.

Excerpt:

“It’s just such a difficult situation.”

“Of course it’s difficult.” She stops talking and taps her fingernails again. My eyes go to where she’s tapping, and then follow up to her face. I try to avoid her abrasive orbs. “You’re overpowered by agony and torment, and it’s slowly claiming you day by day.”

I finally concede and look into Stella's eyes. Because every word she’s said, and every sentence that she’s breathed out has been so accurate about me.

“Freedom,” she says as I intake a huge gulp of air at that word. “I can promise you freedom if you can promise me you’ll never lie to me.”

Fuck.

I want it. I think I may even deserve my very own happily ever after. Are they real? According to movies and books they’re attainable. But this isn’t a movie, or even a fucking book.

This is my life.

And I’m going to try to get it.

“No lies, ever,” I whisper.

About the Author:

I don't do 'normal'.

I've found that the more I write, the more I like being different to other authors. I write in first person, and I love to challenge a reader.
I take the normal and switch it around.
For me, I really enjoy getting a reaction from a reader. So if I can evoke an emotion (regardless of if it's the emotion the reader wants) then I figure that I've done my job as an author I want to be.
I really quite revel in taking people out of their comfort zones and pushing them to read something different.
My genre of writing is, well quite frankly, where ever my mind goes. I won't label myself because I don't like sticking to one genre.
My goal with writing is just to take people away from whatever is going on in their lives, even if it's only for a split second.
I'm a go with the flow sort of person and don't really take a course of action to get where I am going. I live in the moment and don't usually worry about tomorrow because whatever life is due to bring me, I'll be happy to accept.
I love my family and friends and will help anyway I can if someone needs it. I really don't like people that are nasty just because they can be, I don't believe that's necessary, I mean life's hard enough as it is!
I hope you enjoy my books, I've had a hoot writing them. There's more to come.....
Til next time.

Excerpt:

“Let’s make a pact.” Chase put his hand on my shoulder.

“A pact?” I sniffled and turned to him. “What kind of pact?”

“One that’s forever. One that protects people rather than hurts them.”

“How do we do that?” I was suddenly interested. What if I could make all the hurt go away? What if I could save everyone!

“We do this.” Chase pulled out his pocketknife and cut open his hand then nodded to me to do the same thing. Without pausing I cut open my hand and handed back the knife. “Blood brothers. We’re never gonna hurt each other and we’re gonna save those like your ma, Nixon. Ones who can’t save themselves. We’re going to protect them.”

“How?” I watched as the blood dripped from my open palm.

“Rules.” Chase shrugged. “They keep people safe, right? At least that’s what my mom says.” He smiled. “We make rules and we start our own club. That way, we don’t have to listen to anyone but us.”

I liked it. I chewed on my lower lip. “What do we call ourselves?”

“The chosen?” Chase offered.

“No, that sounds lame. We have to sound… more powerful than that.”

My eyes flickered to the road, and a sign poked into the ground. It said election. “Elect.” I pointed. “Let’s call ourselves The Elect.” It made sense; after all, the president was elected, wasn’t he? We weren’t exactly chosen, but we were making the choice, we were electing ourselves protectors. That’s what we were.

“Who else can join?” Chase asked.

“Tex and Phoenix. They’ll want to.” A weight suddenly felt like it was being lifted off my twelve-year-old shoulders. “Should we shake on it?”

“Yeah.” Chase smashed his hand against mine as our blood mixed. “No going back, Nixon.”

“No.” I shook my head. “No going back.”

I pressed my fingers to my temples and watched, replaying that moment over and over again in my head as the outline of Chase and Tracey flickered in the moonlight. Would he really do this to me? After all the shit we’d been through?

I gauged her reaction, hoping that I would be wrong. Praying to God that Trace would just this once listen to me. Her eyes flickered with interest for a few brief seconds before she looked down at the ground.

“Shit.” I waited in the shadows. A part of me knew this would happen. The part that told me to damn my feelings to hell and ignore all the warning signs that I’d been seeing. But now it seemed like it was too late. I stayed, planted where I was, watching, and waiting.

“Chase, you can’t…” Trace shook her head. “You can’t be like this. We can’t do this!”

“We aren’t doing anything,” Chase said in low tones, reaching for Trace’s hand. “Don’t you?” He looked directly at me, although all he saw was a shadow. I knew I was well hidden. “Don’t you feel the same way?”

Trace jerked her hand away from Chase’s. “It doesn’t matter what I feel. It’s not about me, Chase.”

“But it is.” Chase reached for her again. This time her hand grasped his in such an intimate embrace I thought I was going to vomit all over the ground. The outside air was cold as hell as little pieces of ice tried to find their way into my wool coat.

“It isn’t.” Trace sighed. “It never was.”

Chase jerked her toward him. She fell against his chest and looked up into his eyes. “What are you doing?”

Chase sighed. “What I should have done a long time ago.” He grabbed the back of her head and pulled her in for a kiss. Their lips touched.

I had to look away.

The only sound in the night was that of my soft footsteps as I walked away… leaving my heart in broken pieces where I’d last stood. She was lost to me; it wasn’t even the Sicilians that had taken her, but my best friend.

A gunshot rang out loud and clear in the night air. I turned back around just in time to see Trace collapse into Chase’s arms.

That's A Promise by Victoria Klahr

 

Happily ever after doesn’t exist. Not just in the romantic sense, but in the sense that there will never be a point in life that will contain no more obstacles.

Josie Sommers is a nerdy twenty four year old, elementary school teacher who has always considered herself a strong person. But with the loss of a loved one and the return of someone she vowed to never see again, her strength starts to break.

When he betrayed her in the ultimate way, she never thought she would let him back into her life, let alone open herself up to falling back in love with him.
Plagued with resentment and the burden of her own dishonesty,

Josie has to decide if forgiving and coming clean is worth the risk of losing him again. With so many hurdles, we know that Josie’s story is no fairytale.

That’s a promise .

MY REVIEW

"Life is all about CHOICES."

Thank you for the advance reader copy of That's A Promise, this is the 1st book of Ms.Victoria Klahr. I love to discover new authors and their works because they bring new excitement to the readers.

The story is about Josie Sommers who loves to read and study so she is like a nerdy heroine. She has a very strong personality and a little hot tempered a good friend and a daughter. Seems life for her is perfect, but destiny has a different plan for her. With the loss of a loved one and the return of someone she vowed to never see again, her strength starts to break...

The story tackles a very sensitive subject that most women experience nowadays, the scar that it will leave is not just on the outside but on the inside, it will crush you and your soul. But Josie is strong enough to surpass the obstacle with the help of her parents, her best friend Seth, and the love of her life, Blake. 

Blake for me is the good guy, easily to fall in love with but I love Seth more he is mysterious, much appealing persona, tough on the outside soft in the inside. And on the other hand you will love and hate Josie's character because of the choices she made, but it makes her more human because the emotions are raw and authentic. 

The story is well written, just some typo errors on the names. The challenge for me is the past and present scenarios I'm not really a fan of it. Maybe it would be better if the story is narrated from the past going to the present instead of bouncing back and forth so the story will flow smoothly. And it is very predictable I knew from the start what Blake’s secret hold is. But I enjoy reading the story; it shows the reality of life. The essence of loving someone and the importance of acceptance. Sometimes the choices that we made will ruin or save us. And real life situation is not a fairytale.

I'm TEAM SETH by the way if you are curious why, add this to your TBR list (^o^)

Congrats on your 1st book! Kudos!

HIT for Freedom - Anna's Battle by Margaret McHeyzer

Anna Brookes also known by her Professional name 15, did what she had never done before.
She didn’t kill her target, HiT 149.
HiT 149 better known as Ben Pearson did something he had never done before.
He fell in love with Anna Brookes.
In Hit for Freedom, the sequel to HiT 149, a nemesis so powerful, terrifying and frightening is threatening the safety of Anna’s love, Ben and his hometown, St Cloud.

15 must deal with a force that may be too dangerous even for her skilled ways. With limited information on her new HiT, she willingly infiltrates his trust to acquire the knowledge she needs to implode the operations of the deadly man.

“What you saw earlier must be playing around in your head. But you didn’t scream or freak out which tells me you are either very strong or very broken. Either way, the information I give you from here on in, you must understand that I will kill you if you choose to repeat it to anyone.” I’ll let him believe that. ~ Anna Brookes

MY REVIEW

WARNING: IF YOU ARE NOT USED TO READ A VERY DOMINANT SEXY HOT FEMALE CHARACTER, WHO LOVES GUN AND CHERISH IT LIKE HER BABIES. AND HER JOB IS TO ELIMINATE HER TARGET. THIS BOOK IS NOT FOR YOU!!! BUUUUUUUUUUUUUT IF YOU CAN HANDLE IT, READ FIRST THE 1ST BOOK! HIT 149 - ANNA BROOKES FIRST CHAPTER

Thank you again Ms. Margaret for giving me a chance to read in advance HIT for Freedom the sequel to the HIT Series of Anna Brookes. I'm so excited to start reading this sequel.

The story is the continuation of Anna Brookes' mission to protect St. Cloud and Ben Pearson from an enemy too dangerous for her. With the limited information about her HIT she needs to enter his barrier and earn his trust and to acquire the knowledge she needed how to kill her next target...

Wow 15 is back with the new TARGET! But her next Hit is a very deadly and dangerous man. She used a different strategy to know more about HIM. With the new mission, new adventure, new characters, and new revelations this book is really a must read!

I'm a fan of Ms.Margaret's work, her stories always captured my interest, her genre it is not what I used to read but when I started reading her 1st book I craved for more. It's like I'm watching a TV series, the flow of the story is very smooth, her storyline is always flawless. Every detail is thoroughly describe in every chapter. And lastly, I love the thrill of suspense, the twist and turn and she always show the toughness of her heroine. 

An action packed story with a little hot and sexy scene on the side, and with an heroine who can kick some ass, have a very dominant character and can make men fall from their knees, what can you ask for? 15 can be tough but she can be weak, I saw her soft side in this story.

The thrill of reading this book is ALWAYS there. New characters were introduced to spice up more of the story. Every characters holds a secret that you are dying to find out, and NEW SHOCKING revelations that soon will complicate things between Anna and Ben.

I know this is a cliff hanger, but I still read it cause I'm so eager to continue my journey with Anna and Ben. I can't wait for the next installment of this book.

Again congrats!!! Love this Series!

Me After You by Mindy Hayes

A Contemporary Romance

Widowed at twenty-five, Sawyer Hartwell has no choice but to return to her hometown. Broke and alone, the intention was to heal and find herself again, but how can she heal in a place filled with so much sorrow and memories she yearns to forget?

Dean Preston has regretted leaving Willowhaven since the day he rode off on his motorcycle six years ago, destroying the only love he had ever known. Returning too late, he's found small comfort in a new life with Lily, but with Sawyer back he's not sure of anything anymore.

The time has come for Sawyer and Dean to face the past, to learn from their mistakes. The road to healing is paved with old wounds, each one threatening to tear them down completely. Carrying their own scars close to their hearts, they must both confront what's gone before or lose their second chance.

The measure of who we are is what we survive. Who we become is up to us.


MY REVIEW
 

There are two songs, singing in my head when I read this book, The Art of Letting Go and First Love Never Dies.

"Put away the pictures, put away the memories
I put over and over through my tears
I've held them 'til I'm blind, they kept my hope alive
As if somehow that I'd keep you here
 
Now here it comes, the hardest part of all
Unchain my heart that's holding on
How do I start to live my life alone
Guess I'm just learning, learning the art of letting go"

- The Art of Letting Go by Mikaila

Letting go of someone special to you is really, really hard! I can't imagine the unbearable hurt and devastation that Sawyer felt when she lost her husband in a tragic way. I feel the emptiness she felt, the loneliness, the hurt. Being with someone who is almost perfect and accepted you with all his heart suddenly gone... How can you move on with the memories of him buried inside you? But going back to her hometown will only adds up the heavy feelings she have when she meet again the person who broke her heart and still carry it with HIM, Dean.

"Maybe first love never ever dies
That's why I'm still in love with you
Hold me close and look into my eyes
And tell me you don't feel it too
The way it used to be when you told me
It would be forever, you and me together"

- First Love Never Dies by Eugene Wilde and Joanna Wilder

Does first love really never dies? In this story I'm a believer that even after so many years apart it would still exist between two people who cherished each other so deeply. But can you forgive the person that leaves you behind, the only person you love unconditionally? The irony of the story is what if the person you fell in love already belong to someone else? Urgh! I'm torn!

The story of Me after You is about Sawyer who lost her husband and lost her first love. Her struggles to move on and to start a new life without complication. But destiny has other plans for her, when she reunited with her first love.

The story is well written and very clear. It was full of emotions, you will cry and laugh. I love the story line and the flow of it, fast pacing and page turner, you wanna know what happens next to them, what's the reason/secrets of Sawyer and Dean, it is very addicting.
I love the characters in the story, hope Alix and Aiden will have their separate stories cause I love their chemistry and Alix hope to find someone like her in my life lol to make my life even brighter. It was written in Sawyer's and Dean's point of view which is nice because you will know the different story of the two.  

All in All it is a nice beautiful love story. Love it and looking forward for more from Ms.Mindy Hayes. Kudos!

MY REVIEW
  
I'm a fan of the Hit Series of Ms.Margaret McHeyzer, when I found out that she is launching a new book with a different genre I became so excited and when I read the excerpt of the book I'm done! I love the story line it is about a mob boss and a senator. Two different poles attract each other and when they collided they explode!!!

I love reading a story about Mobs there's something in it that attracts me (^o^). I'm so eager to start reading My Life For Yours cause it tackles the "love story" of the two different individuals that most likely will opposed each other. Meet the Mob boss, Frankie DeLuca, she is one sexy and hot alpha female, a BITCH literally (because of her job) and I love her. She has the power and the balls (ahem). And meet the Senator! Jeremy *fucking* Miller (lol) very passionate man, he has a very skillful tongue (*fanning myself*) and the BOSS in the bedroom. 

I'm so excited for this review I forgot to thank Ms.Margaret for the copy, Thank You so Much I'm really happy and surprised, I saw my name on the dedication, I'm sincerely touched *(^o^)* 

The story is well written and clear, as expected. Every sex scene is very HOT! as in HOT! HOT! HOT! I love the twist and turn of the story and even 15 is there! It was a very nice story, erotic but still have the suspense, and I didn't expected the ending! I'm not prepared for it! But it makes the story more realistic, very beautiful.

Kudos again to you! I'm looking forward FOR MORE.

About the Author

I love to read. I’m a huge fan of books and when I start reading anything, I usually forgo doing everything else, I mean the housework will still be there in the morning (right?). When I love a story or book that I’ve downloaded, I usually refrain from sleep and am crabby the next day – but only until I pick my iPad up and start reading again!

The idea for my debut novel HiT 149, came to me as I was chopping my vegetables for dinner and before the night was over I had written 10 chapters!

My goal with writing is just to take people away from whatever is going on in their lives, even if it’s only for a split second.

I’m a go with the flow sort of person and don’t really take a course of action to get where I am going. I live in the moment and don’t usually worry about tomorrow because whatever life is due to bring me, I’ll be happy to accept.

I love my family and friends and will help anyway I can if someone needs it. But I can be a bit daft sometimes and need to be told very specifically or it’ll go over my head! I really don’t like people that are nasty just because they can be, I don’t believe that’s necessary, I mean life is hard enough as it is!

I hope you enjoy my books, I’ve had a hoot writing them. There’s more to come, and not all from the same series……

Making Faces by Amy Harmon

Ambrose Young was beautiful. He was tall and muscular, with hair that touched his shoulders and eyes that burned right through you. The kind of beautiful that graced the covers of romance novels, and Fern Taylor would know. She'd been reading them since she was thirteen. But maybe because he was so beautiful he was never someone Fern thought she could have...until he wasn't beautiful anymore.
Making Faces is the story of a small town where five young men go off to war, and only one comes back. It is the story of loss. Collective loss, individual loss, loss of beauty, loss of life, loss of identity. It is the tale of one girl's love for a broken boy, and a wounded warrior's love for an unremarkable girl. This is a story of friendship that overcomes heartache, heroism that defies the common definitions, and a modern tale of Beauty and the Beast, where we discover that there is a little beauty and a little beast in all of us.

MY REVIEW
  
Beauty or Love?

  

Such a very beautiful story that it touches my heart and soul so deeply. It is remarkably one of the best book I read this year, it is very realistic, beautifully written, stunning characters, all in all its just perfect.

The story is about the lives of Ambrose, Bailey, and Fern and their sentiments about LIFE and LOSS. Their struggles and insecurities. Their beliefs and hope. Their dreams and inspirations.
It was written with an overflowing emotion, that swept me away. The words, phrases and analogies used in the story was just amazing, it connects all the dots in the lives of the characters. Their love for each other is just unbelievable, I really cried my heart out, it affects me to the core! The impact of the story to me is so strong cause its just too natural, it is flawless. Their story will be forever engrave in my heart.

I salute Ms.Amy Harmon such a talented author, thank you for creating such a wonderful story.
