Bio:

Pretty smart. Pretty observant. Pretty opinionated. That's pretty much me in a nutshell. I like to read BWWM romances, which, in my opinion, is the most neglected genre in literature on this here floating rock. One of these days, I'll put up a story of my own, but for now, I'm just a kick ass Beta Reader, leaving the occasional well thought out critique and accolade.  


I'm cowriting a BWWM book named "The Good Girl & The Porn Star" with Jaye Sims on another account, Jaye N Green. So check it out if you haven't read it yet. It's a doozy!


P.S. I wished for Chris Hemsworth last year and found his beautiful, flawless face on the cover this year's People's Sexist Man Alive in my stocking hanging from my fireplace last Christmas, furthering my belief that the power of prayer is real y'all.

Title: Chapter 28: Chapter 28 - Four's a Tough Crowd

I adore Rich for so many reasons and on so many levels.  Oh, in my head CT Tamburello is Rich, there is no bigger lovable douchebag alive. 



Author's Response:

Lol.  CT's a good choice.  I always encourage readers to see the character as whomever they choose.  In my head, Rich looks like Taylor "Too Delicious for Words" Kinney.

Summary:

In a world built on blood and violence, where the merciless thrive, falling in love carries with it its own special set of risks.  Never was that truer than for Carter Gerring, an electronics expert with a unique skill-set.  Carter is hired by Larry Hooks, a ruthless underworld kingpin with a number of potential legal problems he wants to disappear.  While eliminating the various forms of incrimination Hooks and his men create, Carter finds himself falling for the boss’s daughter.

 Tamryn Hooks is the much-loved daughter Larry Hooks would gladly kill to protect.  For most of her life, she’s been shielded from many of the harsh realities of her father’s business.  Then, a seemingly innocent favor for her doting father places her in the middle of an impossible situation she sees no way out of.  As Tamryn searches for a solution and an escape, her dilemma is further complicated by an ongoing feud with her sister and her deepening feelings for Carter, the unassuming intellectual with a dark reputation.   

 When Carter and Tamryn find themselves entrenched in the mire of her father’s criminal enterprise, the secrets they and others keep, and their need for one another, will their forbidden love be their saving grace?  Or will it be the Achilles’ heel that ultimately leads to their demise?

You must not...I repeat, MUST NOT, take this story down without finishing it! It is BEYOND brilliant!  Please come back to this! This plot twist was so genius and for it to end here...torture woman, absolute torture!



Author's Response:

Lol.  Sorry to leave you hanging there.  I got stuck early in the next chapter and haven't had a chance to double back and get "unstuck."  But I will...eventually.  I'll leave the story up for now and go back to it when LG&N is done (and maybe Give Chase).  Thanks for the fab review, GreenRoots!
