BOOK SYNOPSIS –
It all started with a song. Roxana Nights was late to another gig, thanks to her first love, and drummer. It’s been years since she left Jordan, but he won’t let her go. Then she hears a voice that pulls her under a spell and changes her whole world. Trevor Malone just moved to Seattle with his band. Music is his only passion, until he lays eyes on Roxana. He’s never felt anything as strong as the pull to her. Now he needs to find a way to introduce her to his world. There’s only one problem. A rival clan won’t rest until they've taken Trevor’s down. Unwilling to let old grudges die, they target Roxy. Trevor will do anything to keep her safe. Roxy will find that the world she writes is closer to reality than she ever imagined. She’ll also learn that not all monsters are evil, though some are ruthless. Will love stay strong when the past comes out? Can they survive the centuries old vendetta?

Review
I was given this book by author for honest review. From the moment they saw and heard each others voice Roxy and Trevor can’t seem to be stop thinking about the other. Roxy thinks she’s a mess and Trevor is perfect while he’s thinking the same about her. Throw in a long running feud with evil bad guys and he just might show her how imperfect he really is. Loved this new others story just as much as I loved Rivers first set of others.
She slipped past him, and onto the wings of the stage. Her gaze fell on Mr. Voice who was tall, dark and smokin’ hot.
Holy shit, I want to lick him.
Scuffed combat boots were laced up over black leather pants that clung to muscular thighs, and his black shirt molded to the most impressive set of abs she had ever seen. Roxy wanted to trace the ridges with her fingertips.
He turned, his voice dropping low as his eyes locked on hers. His words enveloped her. “… you’re the only one.”
Her heart paused a beat before slamming into her chest at a rapid pace. His full mouth lifted into a grin that spoke of confidence as he held her full attention. Entranced, she fell deep into his eyes and the world stopped.
Until a drumstick hit him in the head. He looked over his shoulder and shrugged sheepishly at his drummer before turning back to launch into the next verse.
Mikey gently shook her shoulder. “Hey, Rox, come on. We have to warm up.”
Her head bobbed in a nod at her brother, but she didn't look over. She muttered, “Yeah, give me a minute,” or longer.
As if he heard, Mr. Voice glanced over and winked at her before the next song started. “Blinded by beauty, falling at first sight, head over heels…” There was raw passion in his voice, and she couldn't help wishing he was singing about her.

Top 10 Magical Moments in Your Life -
1 – First date with my husband. Spent the
whole day exploring Seattle which I did often enough, but I dragged him to all
my favorite spots he never knew about.
2 – Spending a weekend at Port Townsend with
a few close friends right after High School
3 – Spending a weekend with a few other
couples (no, we weren’t swinging, just all good friends) at Ocean Shores. We
had a blast just goofing off
4 – Having kids. I have three little people
who are all very special and I love them very much.
5 – My wedding, though I’m not super
sentimental, it was a wonderful day filled with family and friends and my
husband who I love.
6 – First time one of my books made a genre
list on Amazon. I’ll admit, I was totally freaking out the first few times. I
never knew what to expect from my books.
7 – One crazy night I was hanging out with a
couple of my friends. We went up to Snoqualmie Falls in the middle of the night
and walked down to the falls themselves.
8 – There was this café called Minnie’s in
Seattle. I miss that place. I use to go there with my friends, usually late at
night and just sit there goofing off, having the most insane conversations.
9 - Forever and a day ago, I went to the Cemetery
in the middle of the night with some friends. This was back in High School.
These friends weren’t necessarily friends before we all hooked up, but we spent
the night just being silly.
10 – Just driving around and talking with my
best friend. I usually work through any blocks by rambling at her about
whatever story I’m working on.
This or That Questions -
1. Ebook or Paper/Hard backs – Ebook unless
it’s signed and on my shelf, and even then I likely have an ebook copy on my
kindle
2. Laptop or PC – Laptop, because I love to lounge on the couch while writing
3. Music or TV – Music. Most of what I watch on TV is music anyway.
4. Happy Ending or Cliff Hanger – Happy ending. I freaking hate cliffhangers,
especially if there is a huge amount of waiting involved.
5. Momma's Baby or Daddy's Girl – Momma’s baby. I have the most awesome mom in
the world.
6. Claws or Fangs – Haha, I’ll go with claws. I love vamps, but I tend to write
more werewolves and shifters
7. Witches or Ghosts – Witches. You can tell I love magic right?
8. Cats or Dogs – I love both, not sure I could pick one or the other.
9. Candy or Fruit – Fruit, unless it’s chocolate and I’m writing
10. City or Country – I like it in the middle. I want it all. City, Forest,
Country, all of it
