Souls Unfractured by Tillie Cole Review

Friday, November 6, 2015

I'd like to start off by saying that I know I am by no means consistent with my blog. I suffer from what's called Parenthood and a full time job. I do not always get to read as much as I would like, but when I do I always make sure to leave a review. So for those of you who take the time to read my silly posts, when I get the chance to blog I appreciate it!! Now you may continue to your regularly scheduled program ♡





A book hangover is like a breakup. When you both leave on good terms, but it's the memories we reminisce on like what was and what could be, is what hold our hearts captive.


 I know that I have said this before. But this is a very intense read and not for the faint of heart. That being said…

    Tillie Cole has a way of capturing the world's ugliest situations and turning them into something beautiful. One man's hell is a scared woman's quest to save him as he has done for her many of times. Flame's story will gut you from the inside and warm your heart over and over then leave you wanting for more. Josiah Cade who we know as Flame is a complex protagonist that in my opinion, is written to perfection. Tillie Cole is a author I admire and aspire to be like one day. She isn't someone who is afraid of taking risks with her characters. She writes about a subject that is most often to be considered a forbidden topic and many people are to scared to write about, only in a way that she knows how. To truly enjoy her writing like myself and many others I know have, you need to have an open mind and dare to read something that will challenge you as a reader. This story about Flame and Maddie takes you to the edge of your seat and elicits all of your emotions taking you on one hell of a ride.


 I adore Maddie. She is shy yet so strong and knows what she wants. She never sways from her mission to save Flame no matter what the challenge. This couple puts a whole new meaning to "For better or for worst" to a whole new level! There is no ugly in the world that they couldn't over come just to be together. Hell hath no fury when it comes to Flame being with his Maddie. I have to admit at some parts of the story it was a little hard to stomach the scenes. But you must feel as well as read some of the ugliest things that could be done to a person to truly understand the characters you are reading about. Flame and Maddie become so much more than characters that are written into a story they become two people that could quite possibly exist in this universe.


I know that some of my reviews don't give much meat and bones to the stories that I have read, but I don't like being the person that writes spoilers into their reviews. I do try my best to get you to want to read the book without giving away any of the best parts. Somethings are better experienced on your own or in your own way rather than through someone's review. If you haven't read any of Tillie Cole's books just know that you will not be disappointed . I hope you take my recommendation and pick yourself up a copy or download a copy of Souls Unfractured. I would like to chat with you more about this book. If you would like you can find me on Facebook ,Twitter, and Instagram I would love to talk to any fan of this woman's books or inquiring mind.


                                                              Love,
                                                              Annie. Xoxo



Eve The Awakening Release Blitz

Wednesday, August 12, 2015



Synopsis:


Eve is an outcast. A chimera.

After years of abuse and rejection, 19-year-old Evelyn Kingston is ready for a fresh start in a new city, where no one knows her name. The esteemed Billington University in sunny Southern California seems like the perfect place to reinvent herself—to live the life of an ordinary human.

But things at Billington aren’t as they seem. In a school filled with prodigies, socialites, and the leaders of tomorrow, Eve finds that the complex social hierarchy makes passing as a human much harder than she had anticipated. Even worse, Billington is harboring a secret of its own: Interlopers have infiltrated the university, and their sinister plans are targeted at chimeras—like Eve. 

Instantly, Eve’s new life takes a drastic turn. In a time filled with chaos, is the world focusing on the wrong enemy? And when the situation at Billington shifts from hostile to dangerous, will Eve remain in the shadows, or rise up and fight?

RICOCHET Blog Tour

Monday, July 13, 2015

Title: Ricochet
Author: Keri Lake
Genre: Dark Romance
Release Date: July 9, 2015

The only sure way to destroy a man is to take what he cannot live without.

Three years ago, I had everything.

A beautiful wife.

A son.

A reason for living.

Until a ruthless task force, assembled under Mayor Michael Culling, with a brutal strategy to make the streets of Detroit ‘safe’, ripped away everything I loved in a deadly hunt called The Culling.

They tried to kill me, too. I wish they had. Now I'm cursed by the memories of that night, and the words I whispered to my dying wife.

A promise—to avenge the wrong and set it right.

I’m no longer Nick Ryder. I’m a masked vigilante. Faceless. Loveless. Fearless. A man with nothing left to lose—one who's seen the dark and violent truth behind the city’s flawless veneer.

Michael Culling doesn’t know who I am. Or what I want. All he knows is that I’ve kidnapped his beautiful wife.

An eye for an eye—isn’t that how the saying goes? And Aubree Culling is the perfect pawn to destroy him.

If she doesn’t destroy me first.

If she doesn’t destroy me first.







With my right hand, I pinned her flailing fist, then released her throat and seized the other. She stilled, flat against the wall, with my body pressed into hers.



“You had everything to do with it.” I pushed harder, my muscles steeled. “He didn’t just wrong me, he annihilated me. And there you were, stroking his cock, smiling beside him all the while.”

“All you saw was a smile, then. You should’ve looked deeper. So what? I’m your revenge? Your ticket to hurting him?” She sneered. “Guess what? He doesn’t give a shit about me. He never did. So, go ahead, Nick. Kill me.” She lifted her head away from the wall, only inches from my face. “Snap my fucking throat, if that’s what you plan to do. You’d be doing him and me a favor.”

Her body pulsed with tension, the tremble beating against me, through me, inside of me. Anger. Hate.

So much hate.

With one quick twist of my hands, I could’ve snapped her neck, been done with the whole plan and exited my miserable fucking existence on the wings of a bullet to my skull.

Instead, I slammed my lips against hers. Loving the struggle of her body trying to push me away. Hating the fact that her lips tasted like sweet salvation, beckoning me to whatever web of deception she’d been weaving since I’d taken her. Her delicious smell pervaded my senses—water on the flames burning inside of me, steaming up my mind.

Three years.

The last time I’d devoured a woman’s lips was three years ago, and that had been out of love. Kissing Aubree was something else entirely. Not gentle or tender. I kissed her violently, with all the fury locked inside of me, our frantic breaths clashing with one another.

Her moan vibrated inside my skull, as her hands clenched to fists, trying to break free from my grasp.

She opened her mouth wider, dragged my lip between her teeth, and bit me.

Aggression surged through my body and rattled the cage of something dark inside of me.

I wanted more. More pain. More rage. I wanted to tear into her while cursing her name. Purge myself of the hate until it was spent.

I broke the kiss, breaths heaving, as I glared down at her. “What do you know about Brightmoor?” I rasped.

“I don’t know anything about Brightmoor,” she gritted out.

Lies. “Yeah? Then, why did you have the fucking blueprints tucked in your purse? Devil’s Night plans safe and sound, beside your goddamn lipstick and compact.”

Her chest rose and fell as I kept her captive against the wall, her stare deadpan. “I didn’t—”

“Don’t lie to me.” I pressed harder, lips to her ear. “I fucking hate liars,” I whispered, inciting a shudder in her that brought a smile to my face. “Why did you have the chip?”

“I stole it.”

“You stole it.” I wanted to laugh at the stupidity of such a thought, but my voice lacked any ounce of humor or inflection. “I don’t think you did, Pistol Lips. I think he gave it to you. His little pet.”

“I fucking hate you.” Venom laced her words as she stared back at me, those golden eyes blazing with vehemence.

I licked my lips and glanced down at her pert breasts, and smiled. Squeezing her captured wrists with one hand, I reached up under her dress, only grazing the patch of lace that kept my finger from being inside of her, knowing everything she was too stubborn to admit.

Her lids turned heavy, as drunken eyes riveted on my lips.

“Tell me how much you hate me.”

“Don’t,” she warned, and I caught the scrape of her tongue across her teeth.

Grabbing a handful of hair, I tugged her head back until her neck stretched taut, and like a creature of night, I wanted to bite down into that supple flesh and rip her throat out. Dragging my tongue along her shoulder, I made my way to the base of her neck and bit her collarbone. She let out a gasp and I released her wrists. Lust blazed through my veins, when her fingers tangled in my hair and her leg curled around my hip, drawing me against her.

“You know what, Aubree? I fucking hate you, too, but goddamn … you taste so good.”

Hell was having her skin against mine and craving her so badly I wanted to crawl out of my own body. .
