Blog Tour: Lost Boy by M. Robinson + 5* review + excerpt + giveaway



Title: Lost Boy
Author: M. Robinson 
Cover Model: Stephen James 
Cover Design: The Final Wrap
Genre: Contemporary Romance/ New Adult
Standalone
Release Date: August 21, 2018



In a world where I had no say, violence became my refuge, and nothing else mattered.
Not even my own life.
Until her.
Skyler Bell.
It all started the first time I heard that voice. Giving me hope for tomorrow. My first love was everything all at once.
Consuming.
Maddening.
Forever.
Mine. 
Except, I never imagined there were secrets that needed to be shared. Lies that needed to be confessed. Truths that needed to be told. 
Demons that needed to be buried. 
Once I realized the depth, the longing, the sadness and sorrow in her eyes mirrored mine, it was too late. Love didn't come to me as heartbreak, it came as everything I've ever wanted. Walking away wasn't an option, but it was the only choice I had.

I finally found the price of love and it cost me...
My soul.



My body molded perfectly against his like I was made just for him, only him. It was the most overwhelming, mind blowing, consuming feeling I’d ever felt in my entire life. There would be no coming back from this.
From him.
From us.
Ruining me for any other guy. He slowly parted his lips, beckoning me to do the same. I followed his lead, imitating the same rhythm he set. His tongue traced my swollen lips, and it left the craziest sensation in its wake. A tingly fire that only he could put out. I’d never be able to lick my lips and not think of this very moment. It would be lodged next to my heart where he belonged.
I pulled back my tongue, and he took it as an open invitation to gently push his into my awaiting mouth. Seeking mine out, turning this kiss into something more than I could have ever imagined it could be.
No words came close to describing what was happening between us. The feelings he stirred deep within my mind, my soul, matching my emotions with each stroke of his tongue and lips. This push and pull was as uncontrollable as where fate wanted to take us. I never wanted him to stop kissing me.
Not for a second.
A year.
A lifetime.
Noah’s lips were meant to be on mine. My body was meant to be beneath his. Our hearts were meant to be together.
I was his girl.
I had always been his girl.


My Review

*ARC received in return for an honest review

Wow, I feel like I’ve been put through an emotional wringer every which way there is and more than once. Such raw emotion, my mind is left reeling, I now have a huge book hangover. I FLOVED Lost Boy!!!

I can’t say much as I don’t want to ruin the plot but Noah and Skyler’s story spans from their troubled childhood when they first met and carries through into their, equally troubled and traumatic, adulthood. Their journey is heart breaking, gut wrenching, powerful and all consuming. Their relationship toxic, explosive and highly addictive but you can’t help rooting for these two lost souls who are destined to be together even if they destroy each other in the process.

My heart broke so many times for Noah and Skyler over the cruel and tragic events that occurred throughout their lives. How much tragedy could two people suffer? And just when you think ‘yes!, they’re going to make it’, BOOM, something happens and pulls the rug from under them. I honestly didn't think my heart could take anymore!

I adore M. Robinson’s words. They grab you by the throat and don’t let go until the very last word, wringing out every drop of emotion out of you in the process. And even then you’re left reeling and needing more. Speaking of which, I NEED Aidan’s story now! 
I also love the way her characters crossover from her previous series just enough to give us a glimpse of what they’re up to. 

I can’t recommend Lost Boy enough, go 1-click it now!

My soul.



My back hit the concrete wall with a thud. 
“You got what you wanted, so you can go now. Because I can’t stand fucking looking at you any longer!” 
I reached for her on pure impulse. “Skyler—” As soon as she felt my strong arm’s wrap around her waist, she kneed me in the balls. 
“We’re even now, because I hate you too.”
Push.
I groaned in pain, and in her fuck-me heels, she took off running toward the exit. Breathing through the dis-comfort for a moment, I hauled ass after her. My boots pounding the wet pavement, chasing her in the pouring rain. Catching up with her outside the back of the dark building.
I gripped her arm and roughly turned her toward me, never expecting what happened next.
“No!” she shouted bloody murder, once again shoving me as hard as she could. She didn’t falter, losing her fucking shit on me. “I loved you!” She ignored the sting I knew her hand must have felt every time it connected with my face and body. Hitting me anywhere she could.
I tried blocking each and every blow, driving her further to push and hit me harder. Taking out every malicious word I’d said to her, and years of pent-up anger with herself, on me.
“I fucking loved you!”
“Cutie, calm the fuck down,” I ordered, trying to grip onto her wrists.
“Fuck you!” she yelled, punching and shoving me more, the closer I came toward her. “You don’t know anything! Nothing!”
“Skyler, enough!”
Raising her hand up to slap me across the face, I gripped onto her wrist and spun her around before she could react. She lost her footing which only made it easier for me to carry her up into my arms. Striding over to the nearest car that appeared abandoned in a secluded corner of the alley.
“Stop it,” I warned, controlling her body from thrashing around. Pissing her off even more.
“You stop it! Put me down!”
And I did, slamming her ass on the hood. Taking ahold of both her wrists with my hand and placing them above her head. I pinned her down, and still she fought with every ounce of courage she had left in her.
“For fucks sake, stop!”
“No!”
“Well then, I’m just gonna havta fuck the fight right out of ya.”
“Don’t you dar—”
My lips crashed onto hers, slipping my tongue into her mouth. Demanding complete and utter control. She weakly thrashed around, and I held her tighter against my chest, kissing her fucking senseless.
Groaning against her lips, “Fuck… I missed you…”

Release Day Blitz: Lucky Scars by Kerry Heavens + 5+* review + excerpt



Title: Lucky Scars
Author: Kerry Heavens
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: July 3, 2018

Synopsis

Not every love story begins with a fiery explosion of lust.
Some are tiny embers of hope that smoulder slowly until the stars align…


I’d been living in a bubble.
It was meant to protect me from the things in life that hurt.
I could live, I could laugh, but at least I didn’t have to love.
Loving was dangerous and I would never do it again.


It was working just fine, until the bubble burst.
It let in danger.
It let in light.
It let in…him.


Unknowingly I’d been living in the dark, feeling my way.
He filled my world with starlight.
He showed me how to move on to the next level.
He made me feel again.


I thought the wounds from the past would never fully heal,
But perhaps they only heal when the time is right.


Sometimes you just have to thank your lucky scars.

Excerpt

With trembling fingers, I tapped at my phone screen, sobbing because I connected the call and then cut it off in my haste. I couldn’t handle technology; I just needed him. I was about to throw in the towel and just sit on the curb and cry when it rang. His stupid face appeared on the screen, and my heart leapt. He knew. He knew I needed him.
Choking at the urgency to hear his voice, I tried again to get my fingers to cooperate, and, finally, they did.
“Hello?” There was pleading in my tone. “Ziggy?
There was a short stretch of silence, and I thought maybe I’d fucked up the call again when suddenly he spoke. “Bea? What’s wrong?”
“Zig—” A sob cut me off.
“Bea, where are you? What’s going on?”
“I need you,” I whispered.
“Tell me where?” he said with a steady determination that filled me with exactly the comfort I needed right then. He was coming. It was going to be ok. I looked up helplessly at my surroundings for a road name I could tell him.
“Um,” I faltered. “I don’t know, I—” Fresh tears ran down my face, and I wiped at them with the back of my hand, only then noticing the blood. “Oh God,” I gasped.
“Bea, please. You’re scaring me. Are you hurt?”
“No,” I assured him quickly. “I just…” I didn’t even know where to start.
“I need to know where you are. Calm down. I’m here. Take a deep breath and try to tell me where I need to go to find you. I’m coming. Okay? Now just tell me where.”
I turned in place, looking for something I knew. I walked these streets every day, and they’d never felt so alien to me. He was the only thing that felt safe right then, but guilt swept over me, and I tried to pull myself together. I must have been freaking him out, and that wasn’t fair. Nothing around me seemed familiar, even though I knew it was; I was so disorientated. I needed to do what he told me and take a breath.
He was coming to get me.
It was ok.
“Dean Street,” I told him as soon as I laid eyes on the street sign, relieved to be tuning back in but feeling so stupid that I was so close to home and couldn’t even focus enough to realise it. “At the Shaftsbury Avenue end, on the corner.”
“I’m coming. Please just tell me you’re okay,” he said desperately into the phone.


My Review
*ARC received in return for an honest review

A massive 5+ emotion-filled sparkly stars!!! 

Lucky Scars captured my attention from the very beginning and by the end it totally captured my heart. I have laughed, cried, shouted and sighed my way through Bea's story.
I have no words to describe just how much I have fallen in love with this book other than I EFFIN LOVED IT!!!!

I'm a huge fan of Kerry Heavens’ work so much so that I don’t read the blurb for her books. I just dive right in as I know I’m in for a hell of a read. And boy, I wasn’t disappointed.
Kerry is a talented genius. She creates flawed, but very real and believable characters, wraps them up in emotional gut-wrenching, gripping plots with a healthy dose of humour and before you know it you're hooked. Her characters take on a life of their own and end up firmly embedded in your heart.

I honestly had trouble put this book down, I was gripped in the highly, emotionally charged plot. One minute I'm  yelling out loud 'No, don’t do it!' willing Bea to take a chance and make her move. The next I'm in bits over a very emotional scene that had my heart hurting so much.

Ziggy! *sighs* My heart both ached and melted for him. I adored the way he looked out for Bea and always seemed to know what she wanted or how she was feeling. I need a Starman in my life!!

Lucky Scars has all the feels, and some, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. 1-click this sparkly gem of a read today.
