Life In General

My daughter and I went to the book outlet store & Barnes & Noble again this week, lol! I believe this is going to be a weekly outing for us. We not only look for books, we also go to lunch and just spend the day together. I did get an awful lot of book mail this week as well, most of those were from the book outlet. It was rather cold here all week, the sun was out at times which did help warm it up a bit. I did get myself a new bookcase on Thursday 🤣 If that wasn’t a trip putting together, wow wee! So how was your week?

I read and reviewed these last week:

🔥Dirty Priest by @author.samantha.barrett

🔗 Available on Amazon  ➤ https://shorturl.at/RfAxv

Forgive me Father, for I have sinned…

I have had impure thoughts about my priest.

I’ve done unspeakable things with my stepbrother.

I enjoy watching my stepbrother and his best friend.
I want them to watch me too.

Forgive me Father for I want to sin…

When the small-town church fundraiser ends up with me being chased by masked men, I know they’ll make a sinner out of me. 🥵

She’s a girl fresh out of juvie, and he’s a boy who never got to speak. Together, they are forbidden, and while he is finding his voice, she discovers her peace.

Broken, and branded a lost cause, with fire in her eyes and a spirit that refuses to die, she is handed a second chance she doesn’t want. She’s adopted into a house with a picture-perfect family. But inside those walls lives an imperfect eighteen-year-old son, who is mute. With no friends and no freedom, the only things he loves are his bike and the long roads.

He doesn’t need words to haunt her. He doesn’t need to speak to watch her every move. Behind his silence, he is chaos wrapped in ruin, and in her, he sees the same.

They are not blood, but they are forbidden. Together, they are dangerous, drawn by a hunger that shouldn’t exist. When engines roar and secrets come to light, their world becomes something violently alive.

Forgive me. Cupid, I was a bad girl for daddy.

I don’t care if you object to me wanting more than one man and think it's wrong I want daddy and his sons.

Cupid, they named their MC club after you, Broken Cupid Brotherhood and their last name is Valentine. They have shot me with more than an arrow to the heart, they shoot me up with pen!scillin every night.

I don’t want forgiveness Cupid, I’m a Malevolent Sinner and I’m good with that.

From your naughtiest girl always,

Taylor xx

Blurb

Can we see beyond the masks we wear?
 
Simon wears his mask like armor, shielding him in secret, power, and manipulation, as he gives with one hand and takes with the other. While promises of happiness are often woven in the hushed thrill of watching others beg for his favor.
 
Phoenix is untouched by moral constraints, believing his only mask is the one he physically puts on for The Sect—the employer for whom he facilitates exclusive, illicit entertainment for the wealthy elite.
 
Between them stands Roni. Wide-eyed. Unknowing. Phoenix’s last chance at love—at something real. But with an empire built on corruption and control, Roni remains oblivious to being the next acquisition in the spotlight of being owned.
 
When the masks begin to crack, visibility becomes starvation, love becomes vengeance, and trust becomes the most dangerous weapon of all. 

Because, in The Sect, everyone’s hiding something, and the only way out is to be…

Unmasked.
