Excerpt

Despite the heartbreak he caused me, the feelings I had for him have never completely disappeared. Reduced, definitely, but they’re still there. A first love leaves a special imprint on one’s heart. There was so much good with us, but also so much bad, and Brayden left me with a view that love will always be tainted. The L word is now a dirty word and something I’m incapable of. Serious relationships are non-existent in my life. He made sure he destroyed them for me, just like he shattered my happiness.

Relaxing into my pillows and releasing a breath, I try to calm my racing heart. Closing my eyes, I silently hope and pray that I will sleep better for the rest of the night. As I begin to settle in, a strange sensation prickles over my already clammy skin.

Someone’s watching me.
My eyes open slightly and move to a dark silhouette standing in my doorway. Panic begins to take over, and my machines beep crazily once again. Fumbling for my buzzer, I know I need a nurse, but as I hold the device in my hands my eyes catch the doorway, and the silhouette is gone.

WHAT MIGHT KILL US by M.N. Forgy **EXCERPT REVEAL**


WHAT_MIGHT_KILL_US_EXCERPT.jpg

Excerpt
Walking toward my room I notice my bike propped up on two blue milk crates. I stop in my tracks, my hands balling in my palms so hard my nails cut the skin.
Bull is hunched down, a cigarette hanging out of his mouth. No shirt on under his leather vest and grease all over him.
Music plays behind him as his dexterous hands make quick work at the guts of my Fixie. Panic races in my chest. He’s breaking her apart bolt by bolt!
What the fuck? Is he trying to destroy everything of mine?
“Oh I love that song.” I flinch, not noticing Jose standing behind me. “It’s Godsmack‘s Stay Away.” He informs.
“Jesus Christ, Jose, you can’t just sneak up on me like that!” I scorn, clutching my chest. “I could have just punched you in the throat, do you realize that?” He knows what goes on out here, I have to stay on my toes all the time.
“You going over there?” Jose ignores my rant, eyeing Bull over my shoulder. Biting my cheek I turn. My throat bobbing as I watch Bull toss bolts and shit over his shoulder.
My thighs clench on their own, defying the rage poisoning me. Sweat drips from his forehead, black grease streaked among his hard chest. I can’t help the hitch in my breathing.
“Can I have him?” Jose whispers. I blink away the sultry smog clouding my anger and stomp toward the sexy biker.
“Yeah, after I kill him!” I clip.
Bull stands and flicks his cigarette. His movements appearing in slow motion as smoke bellows from his lips. He turns, his back facing me and shrugs out of his cut, throwing it over on the patio. His muscular back inked with the same image that is on the vest.
I narrow my brows, trying to remind myself of the mission at hand.
Holding my hand out I hesitate on if I should touch him or turn around. I look over my shoulder and see Jose looking at me like I lost my mind.
Maybe I have.
Inhaling a large breath, I poke Bull in the shoulder as hard as I can.
His skin is slick with sweat and hot to the touch. The contact shooting warmth through my finger and through my body before igniting in my toes.
He looks over his shoulder, a hard look on his face.
“What the fuck are you doing?” I snarl.
He lifts his chin and smiles. Fucking smiles.

Blurb
Brotherhood is what Bull bleeds and all that he knows.
Being the king of The Devil’s Dust and surrounded by easy women was his everyday… until having his heart broke rooted him to the bottom of a whiskey bottle.
Heartbroken, and drowning in lost memories he’s unsure of the direction of his life, when the answer – consisting of a terrified Mexican girl- nearly knocks him off his feet.
Determined to get his act together and rectify his club, he rides to Texas for answers, only to be confronted with the emotional ghosts he isn’t ready to deal with.
He sees Anahi, and he wants her.
But she may come with more baggage than Bull is ready for.

Anahi used to be prim and proper. She used to wear dresses and keep up appearances to impress people she didn’t know. I guess you could say she was a fucking lady.
But that was when she lived in Mexico with her parents.
Before her uncle turned on her.
Before, the only man she ever loved, her step-brother, betrayed her.
Before she was forced to be a drug mule for the Cartel.
Evening gowns a lost memory, expensive heels traded for boots, and a nine millimeter in her hand instead of a limited edition purse. Anahi sets aside everything she’s ever known including the fairytale stories her mother told her about America.
She’s angry, determined, and looking for a way out.

WRENCHED by Emma James *** R E V I E W ***

WRENCHED by Emma James
(Hell's Bastard #1)


REVIEW


4.5 Ruined stars!


I. Am. Free.

But am I?

I don't know how to be happy. My life has never been happy. I can't switch happy on. I don't know where my life goes from here.




Ughhh did I ever mention how much of a love/hate relationship I have with freakin CLIFFHANGERS!? I mean really? This was an an edge of your seat type of story and to know a cliffhanger was to follow? Damn it...

Ok. short rant over, lets get started.


Addictive

Intense

Raw

Emotional

Pure

Beautiful

50 Shades of DARK

Unique

Captivating

Edgy

Sexy

When you are lucky enough to get dealt with an ARC of this beautiful dark story, it's not guaranteed that you'd be sane again after you have finished it. No. Not a chance in hell withWrenched.

And to say that the story is anything but dark? Yeah that wont happen.


I think to a certain extent, I checked out the day she bled out in front of me. Master William chained me up while he got rid of her body, made me clean up what was left behind.

She was expendable.

She made the mistake of thinking she wasn't.

She had an expiration date.



I mean, how can your mind EVER compete with a messed up bastard that had no soul or conscience, and with what Whisper had to go through, that would be putting it mildly. 

I honestly had no emotional control reading this story. None at all. And damn it if I don't prefer dark stories - it's my thing. With Wrenched, your emotions get hijacked, are never returned and you can't help but feel like you wont be the same person once you finish with the story.


Whisper is enclosed in a life that even the devil wouldn't envy.


Fear is a powerful weapon when you know no different...



You'd think that wanting to be dead rather than stay in her current nightmare would say enough about the type of life that she had. 

A life where anything but your freedom is given. 

A life where someone else is in control of your next breath. 

A life that nightmare would be her dream.

A life full of abuse. And what is worse, what could possible be worse than abuse, the fact that you CAN'T even think of freedom or escape or so much as consider a smile that isn't forced. All of that because Whisper HAS. NO. CHOICE.


I look at Boxer, who winks at me, then I do the only thing I know how to do, and that's take orders.



With that said, the story continues to form in an addictive read that has every element of being both intriguing and easy to read. All the characters were made into their own unique personalities..

With Whisper managing to escape the hands of the devil, surprisingly finding him dead before her, she leaves behind a life that was never a life. She escapes into freedom, but how can that be called freedom when she can't forget her past?

Emma James does a great job at having an easy flowing writing that in a way, counterbalances the dark aspects of that evolved throughout the pages. I couldn't get enough of it.


Whisper finally escapes the hands of the devil. That's how the story begins, and it never truly loses it's adrenaline rush. Not even close.

Knowing all her life that only the black should be welcomed and expected in her life, once she finds Miss Catherine, Lincoln and Boxer she FINALLY but slowly gets a glimpse of what freedom can look like. After moments of pure hesitation, because with everything, old habits die hard,Whisper, for the first time in her "life" smiles a smile that slowly started to move her barely beating heart.

Mentally she can never forget what her life evolved around. Physically AND emotionally she has scars that could almost speak for themselves. 

Even after months of grasping every opportunity in realising what a normal life should have been like, Whisper can never really leave her past.. even if she thinks that everything is over now..


My life became like a piece of wood that somebody had taken a knife to and whittled into a shape, which could only be changed with more whittling. It couldn't be bent. It did what the whittler pleased.



Edge.

A Soulless Bastards enforcer.

Where to from here?


There are the chicks who would fear us, and then there are the chicks who can't wait to get in our pants. I'm not a hundred percent sure which category she was in at the moment..

She's wild, but in an innocent way.



Revenge + justice are only the beginning, little does he know...

With Edge, I never really knew what to expect. Having read so many MC based books I knew that he would at least be a justice ridden biker with an MC family that would die for one another.

Edge is one of those characters that you expect to be one way, but it's anything but.


I loved that even though his perspective was RIGHT THERE at the beginning, we didn't get to hear from him again until 8 months after Whisper escaped. And boy did I miss him ;)

A sexy, tough and dirty mouthed biker that had one thing on his mind. Revenge. Revenge for the "slut" as he so puts it, that his father left his inheritance to. And who do you think that "slut" would be? I'll give you one guess..

If only he knew that Whisper's relationship (if can even call it anything but survival) with William was of a completely polar fucking opposite of what he was thinking.



I was glad the element of the reader knowing more than the characters was there through parts of the story. It made it believable in a way that makes you wonder how much we truly know about someone else. Judging is so easily BUT lazily done so. 

One of the best parts of this story was the way the scenes were created and arranged. Emma James left no trick out of the book. She knew how to capture the readers attention and she never let go. It was so cruel to be at the edge of my seat, and to think I knew what would come next? Huh. 

The only part that I could perhaps say made me give it an almost 5? I expected Edge to have been introduced into Whispers life a lot sooner.

I am only saying that as a negative because when ever we were lucky enough to get his point of view, I couldn't get enough. That is exactly why I wanted MORE of Edge. Is that too greedy to ask for? ;)

HOWEVER, saying that, the pacing of the story and the characters specific perspectives were amazingly well crafted.

Knowing you are about to delve into a dark story is hard enough on it's own, but not expecting it to be accomplished so believably is another thing. 




It's a rarity to stumble upon (at least in my case) a novel that has the abuse element done so well that you would cry along with the characters. Or that you would want to throw your phone after realising the cliffhanger left you with not only a broken heart, wide eyes and tears streaming down your cheeks; BUT with a jaw that hit the ground.. 

Yup. I looked like an idiot. 

BUT it was worth every last tear, every last gasp, every last scowl AND certainly every last barely exhaled breath from not knowing what the fuck will happen next.

I LOVED this story and I cannot recommend it STRONGLY enough!!

Get your fucking ass out of your sit and get your hands on Edge and Whisper if you are willing to have your heart broken but with a smile of knowing you "felt" something when you delve into this one!


Thank you Emma James for this beautiful dark, addictive and heartbreaking creation. 

Now.

Where is the next book?? 

I need it like I need my next breath.

..


Damn it! I knew I shouldn't have trusted my mind when I thought Whisper was finally hugged with freedom. 

Now I'll just brew in my own frustration and only ever wonder how the story will continue..

Again. WORTH. IT!!

Author Bio

B.B., ALSO KNOWN as Bebe, found her passion for romance when she read her first romance novel by Susan Johnson at a young age. She would sneak into her mother's closet for books and even sometimes the attic. It soon became a hobby, and later an addiction, influencing her life in a positive way.

Bebe is fresh out of undergrad college and has always wondered about the existence of her talent. When she finally decided to pick up a metaphorical pen and start writing, she found a new way to embrace her passion.

She favors a romance that isn't always easy on the eyes or heart, and loves to see characters grow--characters who are seemingly doomed from the start but find love anyway.

Fear Me, her debut novel, is the first of many.
