I'm on Facebook!

"What?!?!" I hear you exclaim in shock and yes tis' true! I have taken to the king of social networks to provide a page for this very blog so you can keep up to date with me more easily! (poor you!) If for some obscure reason you decide you want to hear more from me, you've found some dark corner of the internet and are in too deep to stop or if you're an author who is interested in further promoting a book I have reviewed in the past or you're looking for me to review please feel free to check it out by clicking the link below! (I will make this link business so blazingly obvious that those of you as untechnical as I can even find it, fear not!) 







Now, those of you who are of the more observant nature may have realised that on my homepage I am sporting the Facebook icon, however those of you who were proactive enough to click it will realise it doesn't really work. Sincerest apologies... it is my doing and I am trying my best to fix it, however for now, this link is your best bet I'm afraid! 
So announcement over...hope you all find the time to check me out! (Well my new Facebook page not me...anyone else's mind wondering...no...ok then) 

Happy reading,

Debt 

Content warning: not suitable for people under the age of 17

Release date: March 2016

Synopsis:

The Debt Collector 
I pay my debts, and I expect others to. I was raised in the slums of London, I knew nothing of privilege. My father was murdered when I was seventeen. Morty figured my father's passing meant I would automatically take on dad's debts. I refused. And I paid for that refusal. So did my sister. So now I fight. All I know how to do is fight. The best cash is in the states, so that's where I am now. A big fish called Vito came along offering me a "favor" when I arrived. Another debt. I paid for that one too. I knew Kyla Hensley would be trouble when I met her. But I wanted her. I could see through the falsehood of her wannabe-slutty clothes and her sexy legs. So I chased her. Besides, trouble is my middle name.

 Kyla Hensley
I was brought up in privilege, but I lacked everything else. My father is a business tycoon who buys and sells and doesn't care who gets rolled over in the process. I never knew my mother, and all I have of her is a photo with a note scrawled on the back in French saying "I'm sorry." The only Female Figure I had growing up is my dad's wife who is a bleach blond with seven boob jobs. We never bonded. I drink. I party. I meet guys. But I wasn't always like that. I've had a string of lovers in the last few years, the worst and most recent of which was Vince Somerset. My best friend Vera was dating a guy called Rory Cansoom who is the opposite of Vince in so many ways, and yet so the same. She and I hit the road for spring break, getting away from the two college psychos and just trying to have some fun.
But there's a funny thing about trouble, the more you run from it, the more it finds you.
Which is when I met the Debt CollectorIt was only supposed to be sex. He made that clear. I made that clear. That's all it was supposed to be. I never expected to fall in love. I never expected to fall so deeply, madly, uncomfortably in love with a man who is wrong, so wrong for me. And yet...so unbelievably right.

2016

Well for the past 2 years I have failed both my book challenges so I have once again lowered the bar to read 50 books this year! *slaps wrist* For those of you who are unfamiliar with this challenge, it follows the yearly challenge hosted by Goodreads and it allows you to set a goal for reading however many books you want in a year. Like those sticker challenges you used to do as a kid in the library...anyone else?...no, ok then!
You can go see my Goodreads page by clicking HERE if you so wish.
Good luck to you all and let me know how many books you plan to read in 2016 or managed to read in past years!
