Sarah Davies has had what some might call a string of bad luck; she just calls it devastating. She’s suffered the loss of loved ones as well as a kidnapping, and now her family thinks she is dead. Abandoned in the middle of New Mexico with crazy werewolves chasing after her, she can only trust her companion, Vincent McKinley. As they strain to survive the wilderness and evade their assailants, Sarah finds herself unexpectedly bonding with Vincent. He is kind and caring and Sarah can see them forming something far greater than friendship. But she has lost so many loved ones in the past; it terrifies her to open her heart to anyone else.
Vincent McKinley has sworn to protect Sarah with his life, but their pursuers seem hell bent on making him break his word. Determined to keep his promise, Vincent goes to extreme lengths to keep Sarah safe. Together, they work side-by-side to devise a plan that will stop their enemies for good. As tensions mount, so do their feelings for each other. Will they get the chance to explore their emotions, or will their enemies catch up to them first?
Sarah snuggled further into the warm pillows, enjoying the heat of the heavy quilts. A steady thrum thumped beneath her ear. The sound was soothing, but she couldn’t quite place what it was. She moved her arm to hook it under her pillow.
Her digits froze as they skimmed over a fleshy, hard plain. Sarah jolted up, throwing the covers back.
The cool morning chill took her breath away. She wrapped her arms around herself and peered down at Vincent. He lay sleeping, his chest rising and falling in even breaths.
A few scars were scattered over his pecks, but, instead of taking away from his muscular torso, it made it more defined. He had a definitive six-pack and a small patch of dark hair trailed from his belly button and into the plaid pants he was wearing.
Wait! What? Why am I looking at him like that?
Averting her eyes, she surveyed the room. The bed was against the wall on her side, and the foot of the bed was positioned against the wall as well. If she wanted out, she would have to crawl over Vincent. Great!
Sarah bit her lip, and ran a hand through her gnarled golden locks.
Vincent rolled toward her, and his arm jutted out, wrapping around her hips as he buried his face into her side. Sarah froze, her breath catching in her throat. Oh my god! What is he doing?
“Stop stealing all the covers,” he murmured.
Sarah’s pulse roared in her ears as she sat unmoving. After a long moment, she heard the quiet whistling of Vincent’s snore. He was asleep. Carefully, she placed her hand over his, slowly lifting his fingers so she could wiggle out of his grasp. Once free, she stood up on her side, set his arm on the bed, and tossed the covers back over him. She inhaled sharply and closed her eyes. Praying that he wouldn’t wake up, Sarah skimmed her foot over the covers, placing it on the other side of Vincent. Sarah lifted her other foot. She was almost there she just needed to get down. A part of her wanted to stay in bed and go back to sleep in his comforting embrace. But the other part, found it unnerving that she had slept like that with him at all.
Vincent’s hand shot out from under the blankets, catching her ankle in midair. A scream bubbled up her throat as she lost her balance. She landed on Vincent’s lap. His hand latched onto her hip as he rose up. She screeched as he rolled her to her back, pressing his forearm onto her throat. Sarah gasped and struggled beneath his weight.
“Sarah?” Vincent asked confused, instantly moving his arm. He shot up, straddling her as his eyes widened with horror.
She closed her eyes as she coughed.
“God, I’m sorry. I sensed movement over me. I…”
“I was trying to get out of bed. I didn’t want to wake you,” she blurted, staring up into his emerald eyes.
“I didn’t even think to check. Did I hurt you?” he asked, his eyes glancing over her.
“I’m okay,” she assured. “It could have been someone else.” And it could have been. At least he was prepared and on alert, even when he was resting.
Vincent stiffened over her and cleared his throat. Heat crept over her face, burning all the way to her ears as she realized their position. He was nestled between her thighs, his chest pressed against hers with his face mere inches away.
“Sorry,” he said as he peeled himself off of her. He got out of bed and walked to the fire, grumbling something under his breath. Vincent picked up the poker and jabbed at the ashes.
Sarah lay back into the pillows for a moment. Her body was on fire and butterflies fluttered through her belly. Her body had reacted to him and that scared her.
“Our clothes are dry,” Vincent said as he checked the clothesline that hung next to the fire. He slipped his green shirt on. “And we still have berries. Breakfast?” He turned to her with the wooden bowl of fruit in hand.
Sarah gulped, her eyes inadvertently dipping down to take in his torso again. Realizing she was checking him out, she snapped her eyes up to his. She needed to get out of this house. “Sounds good. Then let’s go for that walk. You can show me what you found.”
Sarah rested her chin on her palm as she slumped forward onto the diner’s table. She’d finished her waffles and bacon a while ago, but Vincent showed no sign of stopping. She knew that werewolves ate a lot, but seriously, where was he putting it all?
His body was in prime condition. She’d felt his muscles beneath her fingertips last night—had seen his washboard abs and sculpted chest up close and personal. She shuddered as she remembered the way he’d felt pressed up against her.
A familiar ache thrummed in her core, causing her to press her thighs together If she didn’t reign in her thoughts, he was going to be able to smell the shift in her mood.
“You know,” she started, “I think you’re the reason they stopped the all-you-can-eat pancakes at the diner back home.”
“What? This is only my fifth plate,” Vincent said, confused.
Sarah laughed and shook her head. “There are three huge pancakes on each plate. That’s fifteen pancakes, Vincent.”
“Glad to see you can multiply,” Vincent teased. “I’m almost done.”
“No,” she waved her hand. “Eat. They shouldn’t have an all-you-can-eat menu option if they don’t expect people to do just that.”
Vincent took the last syrupy bite and used the napkin to wipe his face. “You know, the waitress and cook have a bet on whether I’ll order another plate or not.”
“And what do you intend to do?” Sarah asked, raising her eyebrow, curiously. He couldn’t possibly eat more, could he?
“No more for me. I’m stuffed.” He patted his belly appreciatively as he gave her a lopsided grin.
Her eyes drifted down to his stomach. His red shirt covered him, but she bit her lip as she got another flash of his shirtless form in her mind. She really needed to stop thinking about him like that. Last night had been great, but he hadn’t brought it up and neither had she. She was slightly confused about where they stood. Of course, it was mostly her fault. After all, she’d fled the room before he woke up.
This friends-with-benefits thing could work for them. She just had to be careful not to get too close. That could be a challenge, but she was sure she could do it.
“You ready?” Vincent asked interrupting her thoughts as he stood up. He took a twenty out of his pocket and set it on the table.

3.5 Rosebuds of Writing
Overall I enjoyed this read. Very HOT & STEAMY…
Time frame for me was hard to follow. Sometimes I had to reread a scene to understand who was talking in a scene. There were times I was not sure whose room a scene was taking place in. I have nothing against the F Bomb, just know that if you decide to read this novel it is used quite a lot. In one scene, Caleb was driving a quad (thinking this is a 4-wheeler), but then it mentioned him as if he was riding a horse. I did learn about Australian Culture. Here is America we call a large clothes closet that one can walk in, a walk-in closet. In Australia it is called a walk-in robe. Plus across the pond they have , Double Black Vodka made by Smirnoff. This Vodka is an extra strong blend with a tangy citrus flavor.

Someone our Heroine trusts and loves breaks her heart into a million pieces. Can she ever trust or have feelings for him again?
When her childhood friend ripped her heart to shreds I could feel her pain, frustration, and sadness…

ON THE ROCKS
Last Call, #1
Adult Contemporary Romance
Released February 17th, 2014
Cover designed by Vitalink
Synopsis
He left to travel the world for fame and glory, but only after spurning Gabby Ward and crushing her young heart. Now Hunter Markham has come back home to the sand and salty breeze of the North Carolina Outer Banks so he can open up Last Call, a beach bar nestled among the dunes of the Atlantic.
Gabby Ward is not happy that Hunter has returned. Bitter over his rebuff years before, she’s content to stay far away from him and his dangerously charming ways.
Gabby’s well-schemed plans to ignore Hunter go up in flames when he presents an offer to her that she simply can’t refuse, throwing them together in a common quest to each reach their goals. Working together day in and day out proves to be problematic for Gabby, who soon realizes that the feelings she had for him are still very much alive. Hunter struggles to reach through to Gabby’s cold heart, all while starting a new career away from his life as a top ranked, professional surfer.
What starts out as a mutual business arrangement soon turns into a passion that neither of them can continue to deny.
Hard choices lay ahead for both of them when Hunter is offered a once in a lifetime opportunity to return to the pro surfing tour.
Choices that could destroy what they have built or take them further than they ever had dared to hope.
On the Rocks Quotes
“Out of the three of us, she was the only one to graduate. Casey and I both dropped out. But rather than taking a seat on the family throne, she once again thumbed her nose and moved to Nags Head permanently, where she promptly put her inheritance to work by opening the islands’ only no-kill animal shelter, simply called The Haven. She funds it entirely and works tirelessly helping homeless and abused animals have a second chance at life.”
― Sawyer Bennett, On The Rocks

Synopsis
Meet Liv Michaels
It may have been seven years, but I’d know him anywhere. Sure, he’s grown, filled out in all the right places, but his captivating blue eyes and cocky grin are exactly the way I remember. Even though I’d much rather forget.
Liv Michaels is almost there. She’s smart, determined and weeks away from landing the job she’s dreamed about for years. Time healed old wounds, even her broken heart from the devastation of being crushed by her first love.
Meet Vince Stone
Women love a fighter, especially a good one. Lucky for me, I’m damn good. But there’s one woman that isn’t interested. Not again, anyway.
Vince ‘The Invincible’ Stone is every woman’s fantasy…strong, sexy, confident and completely in control. Growing up surrounded by chaos, he’s learned never to get too attached. Love will drag you down. He adores women, treats them well, puts their own needs before his own…for the night anyway. With the biggest fight of his life coming up, his focus should be on training.
When fate brings Vince & Liv back together again, there’s no denying the chemistry is still there. But can Vince erase the old scars their past left behind? Or will Liv hurt him instead?

Book Review
Worth the Chance, was an interesting romance novel. There were friendships, rivalry’s, romance along with a little mystery and thrills. The hero, Vince, is all male. He has strength and will power, both in and out of the fighting cage. Growing up Vince basically looked after himself, and did what he could for his mother. A mother he loved and hated. The only male role model in Vince’s life is Nico. Nico owns a gym and is retired from MMA fighting when readers meet him in, Worth the Chance. Vince does not always make the best decisions about his own life, but Nico is there to encourage and straighten him out when necessary.
Worth the Chance is the second novel in Keeland’s MMA Fighters Series. Worth the Fight, Nico and Elle’s story, is the first book in the series. Worth the Chance, can be read as a stand alone (I did). However, I really recommend that you read them in order. For in book 1, the reader is introduced to a much younger Vince. In Worth the Fight, readers can see the relationsip between Vince and Nico grow and evolve into what it is in, Worth the Chance.
The romance, well you will just have to read to find out the history between the hero and the heroine of this novel. The flashbacks at the beginning of the novel help readers to understand this said history. This history is important to the romance and love aspect for the hero and heroine as the story progresses.
LOOK for, Worth Forgiving, the third and last novel in the series coming Summer 2014.

3.5 Rosebuds of Writing Raves
Overall I liked the idea of the story. It just left me with a lot of questions. Like, if Liv and Vince lived in the same city why did it take them seven years to meet up again? Vince grew up with a mother with a drug habit. So when he hurt his arm previous from the start of the novel, why did he get hooked? Maybe it is easier said then done. My favorite character is Ally in the novel. She really livens up the conversations in the novel. Only I never understood how old she was, if she had a job or not, and also why she did’t drive. Then at the end, Liv told her she could use her car until she returned to Chicago. The flow of dates and times confused me throughout the novel. For instance, at one point Liv visits the gym to talk to Vince. Then later Nico says something to Vince in regards to the visitor he had. It had just happened that day, yet Nico refers to his wife talking about Liv all ‘last night’. When to me it seemed it was all that same day that Elle met Liv, and the Nico is asking Vince about it while he is working out/practicing on the punching bag. Also there are several spelling errors. Such as; door creeked instead of, door creaked. Otherwise, as mentioned above, I liked the story. The romance was sweet, and both the hero and heroine had situations that required important consideration.
2.5 Teardrops.
The romance was so sweet and emotional in this story. A love that began in high school, yet never mentioned between the hero and heroine. Then seven years later they show up in the same place at the same time. One wants to just get away as stay away, so there is no chance of getting hurt again. While the other never wants to let the go ever again. So while there was no ugly crying, there were some tears blurring my reading vision.
4.0 Romance Rave
The first page gives readers a glimpse into how Vince goes through women. Which is much like how women like to buy shoes, a new pair as often as possible. Until he sees someone from his past. Vince likes to be in control. Even when it comes to sex. Readers get a better understanding of this in the flashbacks. Yet, when he finally breaks the wall down from around Liv’s heart, He has to control himself in order to make passion more meaningful to Liv. Though he does like to let go with her too. And she loves every bit of it. You will just have to read the novel to see just how much she likes it. Not to mention the thoughts the two had for each other when they were teenagers. HOT STUFF!!!
