Synopsis

I get paid to photograph intimate moments in other peoples’ lives—specifically one man. During the day, I watch while he’s working, and every night I watch him while he’s f***ing. It started as a job but quickly turned into an obsession. His name is Nikolas Gallo. I spent years in front of the camera before I escaped. Now I’m behind it and in control of what my shutter captures. The moment I viewed Niko in the lens of my camera I found the escape I’d been searching for. I finally felt connected – whole. There are two types of celebrity photographers: those that wait for their victim to venture into public, always allowing some semblance of privacy. And then there are those that lurk in the shadows, steadily invading lives, hunting and searching for the most private shot, and that’s what I had become. My name is Brook Beckham and I found my inner peeping Tom.

Coincidence Or God Aaron M Garcia


Cover Design: BookFabulous Designs
Formatting: E-Book Builders
Release Date:  April 17, 2015




            Have you ever wondered what your purpose was in this world? Have you wondered if it was a coincidence or something more?

            Many people find themselves, at one point or another, wondering about the meaning of this life and why we co-exist, but have you ever stopped to look at your own life?

           Coincidence or God? is my story of being lured in by the darkness. I was addicted to meth for six years and almost lost my life. One night changed everything.

            The testimonies in this book will give you a view into the world of addiction. It will show you how I witnessed the evil domain in this world, lost touch with reality, and was present at ground zero during the May 22nd, 2011 EF5 tornado which ripped through the heart of Joplin, Missouri.

            This is a story that cannot be forgotten. It is a place most Christians have never known, let alone lived. It is a living testimony to help you understand this life is meant for so much more and is by no means a coincidence.

Hunter (The Bang Shift Series) By Mandy Harbin


Hunter (The Bang Shift Series)
By Mandy Harbin
Genre: Military, Romantic Suspense


http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00SNTLD4W?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creativeASIN=B00SNTLD4W&linkCode=xm2&tag=wotumeon-20

After finally getting out of her disastrous relationship, Maya Carmichael has sworn off all bad boys. Sure they’re hot. The attitude? No thanks. But when her car is vandalized while on a night out with her roommate, she realizes her ex is truly sadistic. Her friend insists they lay low for a few days while the cops do their thing. Unfortunately her temporary haven will throw her in the path of another bad boy. Oh, she’s heard stories about her roommate’s brother, Hunter, and he’s just the type she wants to avoid. Until she sees him … and all good intentions fly out of her busted windshield.

Hunter Anderson might be the easygoing jokester within the Bang Shift crew—the small Arkansas town’s mechanics and the government’s secret mercenaries—but underneath his lighthearted exterior lurks demons of a past he’d love nothing more than to forget. Working on cars and taking the occasional contracted mission help, but he fears nothing will stop his past from coming back to haunt him. No one has tried penetrating the façade to get to the real person below. No one, until Maya.

The attraction is undeniable, but there’s more to Hunter than he can ever let on, and for Maya, this hot distraction makes it easy to forget the real danger she’s in. It has nothing to do with losing her heart to him.

When really it has everything to do with just that.

Review:

Maya Carmichael is a twenty-one year old college student. She came from an over-protective family and didn’t get out much so her dating experience is limited.  When Jake Oberman starts to pay attention and is persistent with his interest, Maya relents and decides to give this bad boy a chance. It didn’t take her long to see the error of her decision. Jake is controlling, demanding and, well, there’s just something not right about him so she ends it. Jake doesn’t take rejection well.  After her car is totally trashed one night, her roommate Heather decides it’s time to get some protection from her brother Hunter until the police get it together and get Jake off the streets.

Hunter Anderson had made mistakes in his life. Luckily, he realized a huge mistake in the making before it was too late, or so he hoped. Years later, he has found the Bang Shift, a group of mercenaries for hire, mostly for the government, whose cover is a group of mechanics. Hunter also has his younger sister to worry about since their parents have both died. She’s in college and doesn’t always make the right decisions. So when she comes to him because her roommate’s ex-boyfriend is proving to be obsessed and dangerous, he is less than happy. He wants nothing to do with Maya, she’s the one that got his sister into this mess in the first place. Unfortunately for him, the Bang Shift group feels differently.

This book, much like book #1 seems fairly predictable in its plot, but things are not always as they seem. Mandy Harbin has a way of taking a typical plot and twisting it in such a way that it can blow the reader’s mind. Smacking them upside the head with a good portion of “I DID NOT see that coming!” Not to mention the uber sexy alpha men that want no part of a relationship, but fall head over heels for the unexpected female.  Maya is not a particularly strong female in my opinion, but man is she funny! Her inner dialog had me literally laughing out loud! There aren’t many explicit sex scenes in this book, but what is, is HOT!! I give this book 4 stars with 3 hands down the pants.

He already knew, but he's about to be reminded: Your whole world can change forever in a split second.
A man with a broken heart.
Doug Benton's heart was broken when he misread the cues of a purely sexual threesome. But when he meets Vivian, the sister of his employer's daughter-in-law, he wonders if she's as hungry for a real relationship as he is. There's just one problem: He's a Dominant. And Vivian is possibly the most vanilla woman he's ever met. That knowledge leaves him wondering if they could ever have anything that would last.
A woman scorned.
Vivian Norton has been dumped one too many times - the last time, at the altar. To make matters worse, she's fallen in love with the one man she most certainly shouldn't have. When she meets Doug at a Walters family gathering, her first thought of the good looking security agent is simply, What a heartbreaker! As Vivian gets to know Doug, she begins to wonder if they could have something more than just a fling and, even though she's scared, his calm strength gives her security and hope.
As time passes, it becomes more and more obvious to the strong, passionate young man and the sweet, innocent, curvy redhead that they want a relationship that'll stand the test of time. Everything falls into place, and they discover that each is exactly what the other needs.
But all it takes is one simple mistake to ruin everything.
And when Doug makes that mistake, there's no going back. He doesn't mean to. He tries to fix it, to take it back, to make it all right, but Vivian is having none of that. And when he finally forces her hand, he learns a painful lesson.
There's no coming back from some mistakes.

Wayward Soul
Book 2 in the Wayward Saints MC Series

Cover Design: KLa Boutique
Synopsis:
Can two broken people put each other back together again?
Casey Stewart has spent her high school years being picked on and never being enough for her parents. Starting college in Seattle is the opportunity she has been waiting for to shed her old image and create a new one. Casey is on the path to destruction. In a year, she has gone from the loner to the wild child. Can she be saved before she destroys herself?
Alec "Gunner" Foster had a tough childhood. When his aunt and uncle step in and move him and his mom to Vegas, Gunner is finally able to be a kid again. Growing up with the VP of the Wayward Saints MC in Las Vegas, Gunner knew he wanted to be the some kind of man his uncle is. Dependable. Loyal. Fierce. With retaliation on his mind, can he stay true to himself and the first girl he's ever cared about?
  Excerpt:

When I finally pull up to the apartment, Gunner comes straight for my car door and opens it for me. I smile at him, then grab his hand, leading him inside and straight to my bedroom. Once the door is closed, he pulls me into his arms and roughly kisses me. I moan into his mouth, running my hands down his sides, then back up to his chest. Slowly, I pull off his cut, breaking our kiss. One thing I learned from hanging out with Anslie and her brothers is that you never disrespect the cut. They represent them and their club. By looking at their cuts, you learn what club they belong to and where they rank. I fold it and set it on the chair in the corner of the room.
When I walk back over to him, I notice the look on his face. It is a cross between awe and surprise. His eyes meet mine before pulling me back against his body. His hands reach up into my hair, tangling his fingers around the stands. He gives it a tug and I open my mouth for him, our tongues dancing together. Backing me towards the bed, he lays me down. Leaning over me, he runs his fingertips down my body, slowly inching my dress above my hips. His fingers gently glide up my thigh until he barely touches my blue silk thong.
He sits down on the bed and pulls me up to straddle him, his erection throbbing against my wet panties. Reaching my hands inside his shirt, I can feel how solid he is. I unbutton his shirt and pull it down his muscular arms. His hands grip the bottom of my dress, tugging it up and over my head. Groaning in appreciation, his eyes take in my body. I lean down and kiss him roughly, my hands wandering down his chest and landing on his belt. I undo it quickly and unbutton his jeans, tugging them a bit to let him know what I want. He rises up a little and I push them over his hips. He rubs me up and down his length and I wiggle my hips.
He starts to chuckle, but doesn't stop me. He turns and moves us both up the mattress. "Beauty, you got anything to play with?" I smirk. What girl doesn't have a toy? Maybe Anslie, but I will make sure she gets one soon!

I nod and, with a shy smile, point to the drawer on the other side of my bed. He grins and walks over to the drawer. Watching the way his ass flexes when he walks, I just about come undone. His back is broad and toned, and I want nothing more than to lick it. I watch him pull out my bright pink vibrator and some lube. He also finds my mini bullet and brings everything back to the bed with him. I look at him with one eyebrow raised and he just smirks. Taking the mini bullet, he gets down on his knees. Kissing up my thighs, he pulls me closer to the edge of the bed. Slowly, he rubs the mini bullet over my panties, then pushes my panties to the side and turns it on. He slides it into my core and I can't help the moan that comes out. His fingers are rubbing my nub, making me wetter by the minute.

Review:

Book 2 in the Wayward Saints series focuses on Casey and Gunner. Casey is Anslie’s best friend and Gunner is Brantley’s cousin, but oddly enough Casey and Gunner did not meet through them.

Gunner has a past that he would rather keep there, but of course it doesn't.  The beginning of this story runs parallel to book 1. It’s nice to see Casey’s POV during that time. This book definitely flows smoother than book 1 did. I did not feel confused as I had in the first book. Some of the story line from book 1 is wrapped up in this book, so that is a plus. One thing I question about the story line however is, after a year of being together Casey had never been to Gunner’s house? That seems unrealistic to me, but maybe it’s just me. I enjoyed this story, Gunner is a sexy bad boy biker with a heart, gotta love that.  The toughness of the characters seemed over the top at some points, but all in all, this book shows the growth of this author as a writer. I give this book 4 stars and 3 hands down the pants.
