Excerpt

“Let me up,” she said as calmly as she could. She felt as if he had struck her. The ease with which he so readily disregarded her feelings for him burned a path through her insides, leaving her in physical pain.

“No, not until you submit to me and admit you need my protection.”

Amira knew she didn’t have the strength to force him off her, so she did the only thing she could think of; she lifted her head from the floor and brought her lips to his. She kissed him with all of the anger, frustration, hurt feelings, and above all, the love she couldn’t help but feel. His whole body turned to stone above hers, but he didn’t pull away. He stayed very still and seemed to stop breathing.

Amira knew it might be her only chance to ever kiss him, so she decided she would allow herself to savor it for the moment. She opened her mouth and caressed his closed lips with her tongue invitingly. At his low growl, she did it again, only this time he opened his mouth in acceptance and began to kiss her back, his whole body relaxing into the kiss. She brought her hand up and ran her fingers through his long hair like she’d always wanted to. She had planned the kiss only to be a distraction, but it turned out to be something far more.

Before she was completely lost, she reminded herself of her original purpose. Easing back, she brushed her lips against his and whispered, “I’m sorry.”

She brought her right knee up quickly and made contact with the sensitive juncture between his legs. Using all of her strength to push him off, she rolled out from beneath him, made it to her feet, and stood over him.

“You taught me that because I’m smaller, I need to use any means necessary. I’m sorry, but that was necessary. If you don’t need me in return, then I won’t allow myself to need you.”

Release Blitz - Lead Heart by Jane Washington




Title: Lead Heart
Series: Seraph Black #3
Author: Jane Washington
Genre: YA Romance/Urban Fantasy/Reverse-Harem
Release Date: September 23, 2016



Blurb

“The paint dripped off me like a liquid coat and I inhaled the toxic fumes, sucking the undiluted scent into my lungs. My pupils dilated as I sank into the vision of a pain so absolute, it went beyond pain. It should have rendered me unconscious, it should have affected my ability, it felt like it should have killed me. As it was, the pain distracted me so badly that I was unable to focus on any other details. I painted turquoise wounds that wept turquoise blood onto the paper floor, and when I was finished, I painted more. I painted the walls, the floor, the back of the door and the boarded-up windows. I covered the room in wounds and fumes, and then I curled up in the middle of the mess, weeping my heart into my paint-covered hands.”

The past few months have reduced Seraph Black to a permanent state of fight, and now it is all that she knows. She is fighting her friends and family to go off on a suicide mission to rescue Silas, she is fighting the fragmented memories that clamour for recognition inside her mind, and she is fighting a guilt so magnificent… it might just force her to betray the very people that have sacrificed so much to keep her safe.

She had asked for space, and it had been given to her in the most heart-rending of ways, leaving only one of the four brothers remaining by her side.

Miro Quillan is her last hope.

Without him, she may never get her pairs back.

Author Bio


Jane Washington is 23 years old, lives in Brisbane, Australia and has MDD, or Multiple Dependency Disorder. It's not a real disorder, but it should be. She's dependent on the moon to write, and she's dependent on coffee so that she can spend as much time with the moon as possible. She's dependent on both writing and anti-social behaviour to each act as an excuse for the other, and she's dependent on the awkwardness of both to save her from questions.

I.e.:
'Why do you never come to parties?'
'It's a writer's thing. We hate parties.'
She has a dependency on the internet to prevent too much work from getting done on any given day, and an even bigger dependency on Disney movies, to keep the dream alive.

I find the love letters in my new dorm room, left behind by a previous occupant.

I'm falling in love with each word, unable to stop myself. 

And I don't even know his name. 

Until they tell me. 

His name is Judson Devereux. They say he’s toxic. Falling for him will be a mistake. 

I want to believe them. I want to walk away. But the words refuse to be erased from the invisible parts of me. 

I'm hooked on the scent of his poison. It’s bad for me. It could kill me. But I’m in too deep.

Review
Midnight Scent is the story of a relatively naive college student who escaped the life her mother forced on her and is trying to make a life for herself away from the cameras.
Upon moving into her new dorm she finds a stack of love letters left behind by the previous tenant and decides to read them.
It doesn't take her roommate long to find out the author of those letters is a former professor who is in prison accused of murder. 
At first they are super hot, seemingly to a woman who shares a great love with the writer, until they become darker, threatening.
And somehow a 23 year old woman who's been a model so she's bound to be used to crazy stalker types, is naive enough to think this guys harmless, so even though his letters are creepy AF decides to go see him in jail.
Sound like she's lacking a few brain cells to you? It sure did to me.
And what did that get her? A cliffhanger ending that you knew had to be coming though some aspects were shocking others you just knew had to happen at some point.
I'm not sure if I can call this a dark or psychological romance due to the lack of any real romance, it's definitely more creepy than romantic.
You could see crazy-stalker-psychopath written all over JD, I couldn't connect with Ivy once she basically turned a blind eye to all the crazy that was both written and spoken. 

The blurb hooked me instantly, the first chapters were really good, but for me the characters lacked any real chemistry. Maybe their relationship was rushed or maybe I can't get on board with this adult woman not missing all the signs but choosing to ignore them or just be railroaded. Her lack of ability to stand up for herself or make decisions to keep herself safe irked me.
I've made it this far so I'm hoping that Amour Toxique #2 redeems this series and Ivy. That it gives me a character I can connect with, a story line that does not feel quite so rushed giving me that little something I need to hook me.
3.5 stars.

Excerpt

Her gaze dropped to his mouth. Those lips begged to be kissed. They were firm, smooth, and sensual. She imagined them against hers, imagined how they would feel and taste.

“Miranda.”

She snapped her attention to his eyes again. They were still blue, still clear—but now they gleamed hotly, their depths intense.

“Yes?” She tried to make the word innocent, clueless.
“I just saw you naked. I’m not likely to forget that sight anytime soon. And while I didn’t come over here to be a douche and make a move on you while you’re upset, if you keep looking at me like I’m something you’d like to saddle up and ride, I’m going to oblige your curiosity.”
