She was amiss - out of place - and, coincidentally, also out of time. Her mother used to say, 'Everything happens for a reason'. But Jen was struggling to find a plausible reason why the universe would pluck her out of the comfortable 21st Century and discard her in 17th Century France; a million miles away from home. As returning to her own time grows evermore unlikely and she's pinched herself enough times to make certain of her reality, Jen must learn to adapt to her new surroundings and do what at first seemed impossible: survive. But as women's rights are seemingly non-existent - the only "jobs" available being that of wife, barmaid, servant or whore - Jen is more inclined towards the more unsavoury tactics of survival. || highest rankings || #1 in themusketeers #1 in aramis

"I liked you better when you were asleep." "And I liked you better when you were naked." 〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰 "I'm not meant to like you Blake. In fact I'm supposed to hate you." "And do you?" He asks as his nose tickles my neck. Goose bumps surface as I struggle to breathe. "Sometimes." "Hmm... well good. I'd be worried if you didn't." 〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰 Blake Hammond can be compared to EL James' Christian Grey. He's aggressive, broody, short tempered and discards women the second he becomes remotely bored with them. For the past 5 years he's used people to get what he wants and refuses to acknowledge his feelings. But when Lena Coleman comes knocking on his door in the middle of the night looking for a place to stay his life gets turned upside down. Before he even knows her last name his womanising ways vanquish and he contemplates opening up to the girl on the run with the bright green eyes and the mysterious scar on her cheek. Lena Coleman is in desperate need of refuge. Forced to leave her life in Miami, without her controlling "boyfriend" knowing, she finds herself homeless with no money and no qualifications. So when her childhood best friend Ryan offers her a place to stay she's thrilled. But when Lena starts falling for Ryan's housemate Blake she realises perhaps he's not who he appears to be? Maybe there's more beneath the surface of the rugged bad boy who pushes her away all the time? And as Lena's secrets become public knowledge, Blake finds himself choosing between following his heart or keeping up his player's reputation. And for the majority of this book Ryan is clueless but adorable so he'll probably be your favourite 😂 Highest Recognition: #1-On the run (June 2018)
