Everyone in Nashville knows Nathan Dumont. That’s what happens when you develop half a town and sleep with the rest. Five years ago, his fiancee disappeared. Last night, he proposed to me.

I had wanted to escape my life, the seedy strip club and the mountain of bills. I had seized the opportunity to live in a mansion, fill my days with country clubs and caviar, my nights with romance and sex.

Maybe I should have done my homework first.

The Trophy Wife is a standalone erotic romance. It is approximately 70,000 words. An earlier edition of this book was previously released in 2013 under the name The Dumont Diaries, this is an expanded and rewritten edition of that novel, with over 50 pages of new content.

BLURB

Winter Cortez is struggling to regain her life after a vicious assault almost four years ago.

Finally, she meets a man she feels she can trust.

But her attacker is still out there. And he is watching her every move.

Sam Mitchell, the former Military man, agrees to do a favor for his friend and teammate.

A favor which brings him face to face with a woman who brings out all of his protective instincts.

What happens when the woman you love is being watched by a man nobody can find?

Will Sam find him or lose Winter forever?

Excerpt

“What have you done to Sam? He’s staring at you.” Nathan says, and I look back at Sammy and Nathan’s right he’s frozen to the spot staring at me with eyes narrowed. I burst out laughing.

“I told him he wasn’t as funny as he thought.” Soph laughs with me, and I see Sammy start walking towards us, I scoot behind Sophia while laughing. I can’t help it the look on his face is precious. It’s almost as if he’s losing a limb he looks devastated. I’m only messing around with him, it’s too easy to wind him up. I hide behind Soph and cross my legs as I need to pee.

“Sweets. Hiding behind Sophia isn’t going to save that pretty ass of yours.” Damn that man. I peek my head from behind Soph and see him staring at me, he has a smirk on his face.

“You aren’t getting anywhere near my ass!” I feel Sophia’s body start shaking as she laughs at our antics.

“Want to bet?” His tone is challenging, yet it’s playful.

“Fine,” I say with a heavy sigh. I see his eyebrows shoot up, he’s shocked. Good.

“You serious about that Winter?” he says in such a gravelly tone, the cheeky bastard trying to turn me on.

“Oh yes, you play with my ass I play with yours, it’s only fair. I’ll get you your very own butt plug. You know we need to stretch you out.” I say with the sweetest voice I can muster. I hear spluttering coming from Luke, who up until now was scoffing his breakfast down. And Nathan and Sophia are laughing so hard that Soph is doubled over.

Katerina

After a six year relationship with someone who made Katerina feel less than perfect, she is ready for a fresh start. With her grandmother’s words in her mind, she begins seeking out new experiences by creating a list of adventures she’d like to complete. First on the list, a night out with friends. Which leads to the second item on her list, a one night stand. That single night with Caleb is one she can’t get out of her head. However, just when she thinks her life is moving forward, her past comes back. Making her doubt herself, her adventure list and her dreams of finding home.

Caleb

Caleb isn’t the settling down type. His life is exactly what he wants, an uncomplicated routine. He has his boys, his business, his bass and his bike. Caleb’s life motto is work hard, ride his motorcycle harder and play music the hardest. Until the night he met Katerina. Suddenly, everything he thought he wanted wasn't enough. For the first time in his life, he was thinking about his future. His future with her.

Amazon US Amazon UK Amazon AU Amazon CA

Excerpt

Caleb puts his hand on my chin, tilts my head to the side so he exposes my neck, dropping his lips

first on my shoulders. He begins trailing light kisses up my neck. I can feel his tongue making

contact with each kiss, leaving my skin slightly dampened. When he hits each sensitive spot on

my neck, goose bumps form on my skin. The way he touches me has me wanting more. I grip his

hair tighter, pulling his lips to mine. He teases my lips with his tongue before gently biting my lip,

which causes my mouth to open. As if he’s tasting me, he grazes my tongue lightly, before

entangling it with mine. This is the sexiest kiss I ever had. Panty melting, toe curling, chills down

my spine good.

Excerpt

Caleb is in full rock mode as he plays. My body temperature shot up twenty degrees the minute I

saw him on stage. Instantly, I start taking some pictures, wanting to capture the moment. I don’t

take my eyes off him. Caleb’s well-worn denim jeans ride low on his hips, and his tight black tank

top show off his muscles and tattoo. His stance is wide and low, his hat covers his eyes, as his

head bangs to the beat. My panties get wet looking at him up on stage.

One song turns into another. Slither is amazing, and the guys are completely in their element on

stage. I watch each of them. Hunter is crazy up there playing the drums. Jeremy kicks ass on the

guitar. Bentley is everything a lead singer should be, drawing in the audience. Aly is watching

every move he makes. We are jumping to the beat, getting into it with everyone else. I’m in love

with every song they are playing. I recognize the guitar chords of Creed’s One. Only this time

Caleb walks up to the microphone. When he starts singing the first words, I bite my lip in

amazement. Holy shit, he can sing. Can this man get any hotter? His voice is sultry and raw. As I

stare in awe, he looks down and winks at me. I think my panties melted off at that point. The

thought of actually throwing them on stage crossed my mind. But I didn’t.

Aly looks at me, "You are one lucky bitch. He's fucking hot up there." I know, and he is mine

tonight.

About the Author

I love to read books. I can easily read a book in a matter of hours. I've even been known to read the same books over and over. For a short time, life got in the way and I stopped reading. I fell in love with books again after reading a well known series. So much that I read it five times in a row.

When I started branching out of my normal genre, I found so many new Indie authors that were truly amazing.

One night after reading a book, I had a rather vivid dream. I decided to write it down. Each day I wrote a little more. Within a month, I had a completed book. Now, I'm working on a series. Starting a new adventure in my life, one that I never knew was in me.

“When sorrows come, they come not single spies, but in battalions!” Shakespeare: Hamlet.

Seventeen year old Ophelia is in love with the tall, dark and handsome Malachi: Mathematical Genius, Poet, Swimmer, and Narcissist. Drawn together by their own self-destructive impulses, they begin a consuming and twisted tango of desire and rejection.

As Ophelia learns to cope with her mother’s bi-polar episodes, she discovers the world can soon become a dark and lonely place when left to face it on your own.

With Malachi’s increasing paranoia and anger starting to take over his life, it is only Ophelia who can offer any kind of salvation; only Malachi doesn’t know how to love anything other than his future dream of greatness.

Finding herself caught in an exquisitely bitter-sweet relationship, Ophelia falls in love with a boy who will only realise his love for her when it is too late.

Blurb:
“In a matter of minutes on a Friday night, I lost my school, my identity, the security of my first love, the personality of my sweet fearless brother, my best friend, my town, everything as I knew it. Everything changed.”

"Minutes - that’s all it takes to change your entire life. How do you deal with that?”

For high school senior Jules Blacklin surviving the storm is only the beginning. Faced with the new reality of her life, she must find a way to rise From The Wreckage and answer the question - how do you get back to normal, when everything that was normal is gone?

***Will not appear in review elsewhere. By word of mouth, I heard there was an interesting concept and branding on the covers for this series. This one is stunning by itself, but if you look at all three books, you see things taking shape. Brilliantly done. I'd like to see the author's name take up a wee bit more real estate, but I love the look of this series.***

On to the review!

I grabbed a copy of this book when the author pitched it to me on my blog's annual TBR building event. Because it was free, I had to get the whole thing instead of just a sample, but I'm so glad I did. As I was reading to see if I'd like it, I found I was well over the sample size by the time I pulled myself back out. Needless to say, it was added immediately. When I finally made my way back to it, I read it pretty quickly. Anyway, enough about how I snagged a copy; let's get to the good stuff.

From a Reader's Perspective:
I can't even imagine a tornado hitting my town, much less being caught in the middle of one. Jules, the main character, is not only caught, she has to deal with the stress of the ordeal as well as a very serious loss. Because I don't do spoilers, I'll just touch on things I liked about Jules. She's your typical high school cheerleader dating the quarterback. Because I know Texas, I know how they are about their football. Her whole life revolves around the games, players, and other cheerleaders. This book did the environment justice, and Jules was a product of her environment for sure. I admired her for her desire to help the community, and her moments of being jaded after the incident rang true. I've always thought how typical it was of people to pretend they knew someone that was a victim of a disaster just to get on TV, and this is something Jules has to face and come to terms with. I thought Miller did a great job of connecting the reader to real-world scenarios and showing what people really think.

Oh, the emotions dragged out of me by this book! When it starts, Jules is talking to a camera, but you don't find out who it is she's talking to until about the three quarter mark. This is when things click into place. It will make you want to scream. Loss, love, and what can emerge from a disaster (both good and bad) are what you'll find. Very sweet teen romance with no love triangle and a clean read.

There was one scene that didn't ring true for me: Jules is talking about photographs and the hairstyle she has, a side ponytail. These were popular when I was a kid (in the 80s). But the book is set in the first part of the new millennium (I believe it's 2012). That would make these teens way too old (late 30s at least). Then it goes on to say how, during seven minutes in heaven (same approximate time as the hair was in style), a boy uses his cell phone light in order to see in the closet. Well, there were bag phones in the 90s, but everyone didn't have a cell phone that would fit in their pocket. So, even if the main character is late thirties now, the details didn't fit.

One other discrepancy: Katie has a blonde bob blowing in the wind as she leans her head out of the window in one scene, then has a braid that comes loose and is blowing in the wind a few pages later.

These are minor things that didn't take me out of the story, but that I noticed. The emotional roller-coaster ride overshadowed the inconsistencies.

From a Editor's Perspective:
Besides the two things listed above, there weren't many errors. I did find the use of ' where it should be " often, and pronouns were used so loosely I sometimes had to read back to find out who the she, her, his, and him were referring to, but it wasn't plot killing or anything like that.

Rating:
1 Star for showing me what it would be like to face such a wicked disaster
1 Star for giving me a main character I liked
1 Star for the romance
.5 Star for shocking me with the reveal I didn't talk about beyond saying there is one
-.5 Star for inconsistencies
.5 Star for editing
-.5 Star for editing
Overall: 4 out of 5 stars! A sweet, clean beach read that I'd highly recommend.

Have you read it? What did you think? Do you plan to read it?

Well, that's all for today, folks! Until next time, WRITE ON!
