The People Choice Awards 2019 Winner for Best Diverse Books Never had Autumn thought that she would break up with her boyfriend, Tyler, until the day she met Frazier Ronan, the one person who turned her life upside down, created chaos, and made her defy all her principles. ***** For someone rude and cunning, it surprised me how he could be soft when it came to kissing. He placed soft kisses at the corners of my lips and held my face in his warm hands as his fingers tangled in the hair above my ears, tugging my ponytail and messing with my hair. His brown eyes filled my vision, hard and intense, a direct contradiction to his hot, sensual mouth. The tip of his tongue touched the seam of my lips, and my breath caught in my throat. I could feel a jolt clear in the soles of my feet, a warm tingling that curled my toes and settled in the pit of my stomach. The kiss was tender, almost sweet, and I fought to keep my eyes open and pressed my lips tight. I fought to remind myself that the lips brushing mine, as if he were my lover, belonged to an egomaniac asshole who told lies and swore to make my life miserable. When your bully becomes your knight in shining armor, what would you do?

My head snapped to the side as he slapped me forcefully on the cheek. I kept my head down not allowing him to see the hurt in my eyes, or the hurt in my heart, or the pain all over my body. No, I was stronger than that, I would not let him see it; he already called me weak, pathetic and out of place. "Look at me," he growled menacingly. I kept my head down and I literally felt his fury radiating off him. An iron hand wrapped around my throat and it lifted my head, but before my eyes made contact with his face I closed them. "Human", he spat, "I said look at me.", his voice was dangerously low. I knew he was playing a game with me, I had done it once and I had payed for it. The grip around my throat tightened and it became difficult to breath. "Look at me", His voice had turned into a seducing velvety whisper. "I know you want to." He knew what he wanted but he didn't allow himself, that's why me looking at him was forbidden. It brought out his monster, the beast that could only be tamed by one person. Who? ♤♡◇♧ A dangerous world awaits her, a world she didn't know existed. When the submissive falls among the dominating there's no end to the surprises and dangers lurking around. _______________________________ Highest ranking: #6 in vampire #2 in mystery #1 in romance _______________________________ @chrissy303 - My heart strings pulled just reading that...then again I get to deep into stories @sreeti - I'm so glad I read this book.

"They're cinnamon with apple Jam. I do promise they are to die for." The taller mans eyes narrowed, "did you give the poor fool dead on the road a cookie?" My lips parted, "a dead man? Oh my..do you think it is safe?" "..depends on who you are miss, why did you say you were in the woods again?" I smiled gently, "I didn't." He rose a brow. "I'm delivering these," I shook the basket a bit, "to my dearest grandmama." He hesitated for only a slight second, "oh. well. be careful then. These woods can be dangerous." I nodded once still holding out the basket, "so would you?" "Would we what?" I giggle a bit, "like a cookie silly." "Ah.." he scratched the back of his head, "sorry, I'm not too fond of apples." Damn it. I sighed softly, "strawberry next time then." "Right..." As I turned to go I looked up at the two tall men, "you be careful now too gentleman. There are wolves in these woods." They nodded rigidly as I spun and began to skip off, giggling to myself. He asked the wrong question. I didn't give the dead fool a cookie. I gave him two.
