~~~NEW RELEASE~~~ Losing Alex by Sam McCarthy

 

Author bio :

Sam lives in Yorkshire, England with her husband and their eight children. She always wanted to write, and would hand in elaborate stories at school when asked to write and kept diaries throughout her life, but actually becoming a writer happened completely by accident. 
Sam wrote a couple of paragraphs for a competition and from those few words Discovering Alex, her debut novel was born. She now spends all of her spare time (not that there is much of it) writing and planning new projects.

Before we get to Sam's new release, let's take a look at her debut novel Discovering Alex, book 1 to this series.

Synopsis:

A chance meeting with a handsome stranger was about to turn Alex's world upside down. How would she ever cope with her own guilt? 
Feeling like a real life Cinderella she embarks on her journey of discovery, but would she like where she ended up? Or the choices she would have to make along the way?

My review:

Although this book has some content in it that does not agree with me, the rest is good. I did enjoy the relationship that Alex has with her bestie. Being able to have such a friend that will speak their mind and put you in your place when you need it, is one of the greatest gifts a girl can ask for. When life tries to bring you down, your bestie knows exactly what to do and say to pull you back on your feet.

Outside of the relationship that Alex found in the book, I really enjoyed reading her inner struggles and her feeling how broken she was. I look forward to reading book 2, Losing Alex.

~~~RELEASE DAY~~~ Stepbrother Mine by Mandy Lou Dowson

Author of the Moon Bound Series

 

Bio

Mandy Lou Dowson was born and raised in a small town in Ireland, in 1983. Family is a huge deal to Mandy. She has three wonderful children, and a Siberian Husky who only does what she’s told if there’s something in it for her.
When she's not writing, reading, or plotting her next book - or, you know, world domination -, she likes to relax with a few glasses of wine and some karaoke. She has a keen interest in special effects make-up and is part of a dramatical society which puts on one show and one concert each year.
Mandy started reading at quite a young age and her appetite for the written word has only increased with time. It would not be at all surprising to find her reading anything and everything from shampoo bottles to Edgar Allan Poe.
She is the author of two distinct series of books. The Moon Bound series, which is in the Paranormal Romance genre, and is gathering rave reviews, and the Taboo series, which is Contemporary with a hint of the forbidden.

 

Blurb:

 

**This book is a stand alone. It is not suitable for anyone under the age of 18, due to explicit scenes, language and situations.

They were always taught that family was about more than blood, but when step-siblings Sophie Ellis and Logan Castle meet for the first time, their attraction is instantaneous. Forever trying to keep each other at arm's length, they discover that sometimes the best laid plans fall apart, when lovers fall together.

He's everything she's ever fantasized about, and everything she can never have.
She's all he's ever wanted, but never hoped to have.
Trying so hard to be his stepsister, she can't shake the attraction she feels.
He decides it's best to leave, but when circumstances see them reunite and he discovers their initial attraction is still there after all the intervening years, he can't help himself. He has to have her.
Running scared, she cuts all ties.
Left behind, his bitterness grows.
When again circumstances force her back into his arms, her past comes back to haunt her.
He's determined to make her pay for leaving him.

Desires are forbidden. Loyalties are tested. Hearts are broken. In the end, is love strong enough to conquer all?

My Review:
 
Mandy Lou Dowson has written masterpiece with Stepbrother Mine. Her book is about a young lady & young man who meet and quickly find out they are step siblings. They have an insane attraction to each other, therefore making it hard for them to be around each other. While one wants to pursue this attraction the other doesn't. Tragedy strikes, leaving them both vulnerable and relying on each other. But, will this tragedy be enough to keep them together? Will they let go of the fear of what others might think and be together or will they go their separate ways? I recommend reading and finding out for yourself what happens with Logan and Sophie.
