Recently the news has started reporting the near epidemic issue of mental health illness and the rise in suicide rates. It’s a problem which could be handled and controlled so much more effectively if there wasn’t a stigma associated with both suicidal thoughts and mental health problems.

They’re both treated like dirty secrets.

This is a subject which has touched everyone in some way. Some have been affected directly; maybe they thought about it, or possibly even tried to end everything because they thought there was no other way. Others are diagnosed with various illnesses: bipolar, depression, anxiety…None of these should be a cause for shame. These can’t be controlled. People should feel comfortable talking about it and seeking help, instead of feeling like they need to hide it…

…and to know hope is always there, it just needs to be allowed to enter.

**Inside these pages are stories of despair, tragedy and pain, but also filled with hope and love and a way to see the light outside of the darkness.**

Suicide, why is it so difficult to talk about, write about or even handle in a private forum?

Answers are still being searched for in the mental health communities of the hows and whys. Until then, we are trying to bring light to this issue. We want to assist with the truth, lies, prejudice, secrets, and misunderstanding of mental health.

Every 40 seconds someone commits suicide.

This makes it the 10th leading cause of death in America today. It is breaking news when it happens to the famous, but not enough exposure has come into the light to help everyday people. It still has a stigma and many experience shame in their issues.

Letting Hope Enter is a collection of stories about the tragedy, pain and even despair of suicide. Also, it is an attempt to bring hope and awareness to this illness without the need to hide or consider it some dirty little secret.

** All proceeds from the sales will be donated to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. **

The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 1-800-273-825, if you or someone you know, love, care about or want to share needs this information.

Please let Hope Enter, help those suffering and start talking about these issues without prejudice, misinformation or judgment.

Temptation — J.D. Hawkins hits the hipster market!

 

J.D. Hawkins dabbles in the world of corporate BS meets the façade of the hipster culture. He greets his audience with the return of Wyatt from his lavish life of excess in New York and blends him into the hipster culture of the Los Angeles scene. Wyatt isn’t naïve to the ways of Southern California as this is a return of the king vibe within his family and close friends setting.

Hawkins brings to life the trope of familiarity sometimes blinds what has been in front of you the whole time. Wyatt recognizes his fate when he begins to work side by side with Melina, the quiet often overlooked family friend. Hawkins has a knack for bringing to life the underdog and allowing them to bloom while taming the alpha. In Temptation, the hint of reformed alphas and their leading ladies make a welcome appearance. The brilliant weave of old characters into the new future of Wyatt and Melina’s lives is well done. Through dynamic characterization, Hawkins also provides a beautiful growth mindset, allowing his characters to move seamlessly through change, rebuilding, and spreading their wings to see the future through a new lens. Temptation is well worth the click!

✔️Sexy Playboy
✔️Nerdy Girl
✔️One Large Bed

I’m used to taking what I want, being the best at what I do. During the day, I make big bucks as New York’s premier consultant. At night, I can get any girl I lay my eyes on. I thought this life was what I wanted: working hard and playing harder–with penthouse apartments, luxury cars and bottle service every weekend. After six years in the city, I know I’ve been living like a monster for too long. I need to get my act together. I need to find something real. I need to come home.

LA means family and a fresh start. My parents and my friends who are close enough to be siblings.

And Melina.

Melina is nerdy smart, with a challenging sense of humor and legs for miles. It’s so hard to describe her…enigmatically beautiful. I’m sure there’s a word for it in French. But I know there’s a naughty girl hiding behind that shy smile that I’m dying to drag out.

There was always something between us. I never forgot her laugh, never could get her off my mind. Nobody ever seemed to notice how my body would react when I was near Melina, how much more focused I became—maybe not even Melina herself. But this time it’s different.

The more time we spend together, the more I wonder if there was something there all along. After so long in the fast lane, I don’t know if I can handle settling down. But seeing Melina’s passion, I’m tempted beyond belief.

I have to admit it: this temptation is impossible to resist.

Angel of Mine – A Heavenly Read

When Zane Michaelson first asked me to take a look at the cover for Angel of Mine, I examined each detail with the same literary skills as I do the written word. This cover speaks of good and evil, Heaven and Hell, protection and grief, ethereal entities, and the darkness nobody escapes in life. This all transcends and morphs into the world of Gabriella and Angelo.

Michaelson creates their world through the dynamic characterization of Gabriella and Angelo in a timeless stream of events which parallel multiple ideologies and turns traditional into a thought-provoking tale. He masterfully entwines the deadly sins and weaves the virtues through his tactful prose. Angel of Mine is a work of art from the outside cover to the sheets which lie between. The labor of dried ink and depth of thought from this world to beyond is evident in this incredible journey taken by both Gabriella and Angelo.  Angel of Mine is a must read!

Shen’s Dirty Headlines is simply BRILLIANT!

 

One simple word: B-R-I-L-L-I-A-N-T with Mr. Laurent taking his place among Shen’s Alphaholes! Jude may have taken first place among the female sassholes who can dish it out and then some. L.J. Shen writes the tango between Celian and Jude with such craft and eloquence the reader pulsates with each step and drowns as the dance sequences move breathlessly throughout the tale. Kudos to Shen with another fabulous anti-hero who you can’t help falling in love with as the heroine snaps him into shape.

“Dirty Headlines is a fantastic enemies-to-lovers office romance with a perfect, filthy jerk hero that I wish I’d written myself.” – Laurelin Paige, New York Times bestselling author.

From bestselling author L.J. Shen, comes a new standalone, enemies-to-lovers romance.

Célian Laurent.
Manhattan royalty.
Notorious playboy.
Heir to a media empire.
…And my new boss.

I could have impressed him, if not for last month’s unforgettable one-night stand.
I left it with more than orgasms and a pleasant memory–namely, his wallet.
Now he’s staring me down like I’m the dirt under his Italian loafers, and I’m supposed to take it.
But the thing about being Judith “Jude” Humphry is I have nothing to lose.
Brooklyn girl.
Infamously quirky.
Heir to a stack of medical bills and a tattered couch.
When he looks at me from across the room, I see the glint in his eyes, and that makes us rivals.
He knows it.
So do I.
Every day in the newsroom is a battle.
Every night in his bed, war.
But it’s my heart at stake, and I fear I’ll be raising the white flag.

Cammie takes the boardroom to a whole level!

 

This hot little novella features Cammie Childs as one determined entrepreneur with a divorce to settle and business to sell. She also finds herself ready to prowl and make good on her carnal desires. However, much to her own surprise, she’s got a lot more steaming up her sheets both in the boardroom and the bedroom.

Zane Michaelson hits the contracts and dots all his i’s and crosses his t’s with this erotic romance adventure with Cammie and her entourage. He hits the ink in all the right places and leaves his dirty marks all in time to make this a mouth-watering M/F hot read.

Harvey-Berrick and Reardon score the try!

Jane Harvey-Berrik and Stuart Reardon score the winning try with Nick Renshaw and Dr. Anna Scott’s story in the duet Undefeated and Model Boyfriend. The hard truths of an athlete’s struggle when the end of their career becomes a reality is an excruciating change. The mindset, the physical and emotional changes are most often misunderstand and viewed as a weakness or selfishness. The story is deep and compelling for any athlete and a true testament to finding oneself and the important things in life.

In Undefeated, Harvey-Berrick and Reardon take the reader on a journey through the ugly side of fans, fame, misplaced trust, and injury when playing a competitive sport. The title alone caught me as undefeated has multi meanings within this work. Reardon’s ability to express the psychological changes in an athletes mind when the world is changing around him is superbly told through Nick Renshaw, a professional rugby player living out his dream. When the world begins to change around him he’s sent to sports psychologist doctor Anna Scott. Their story is one of learning to trust, building a friendship, and working through the ups and downs of the professional athlete. It’s truly a beautifully written work with so much depth within the athlete and the struggles most fans and family don’t recognize as part of the formula which makes the athlete whole.

Model Boyfriend is the continued story of what happens after an athlete retires. Nick Renshaw’s a young athlete at the end of a career, which he isn’t mentally ready to give up as it was injuries terms, not his. The scope of the love story with Dr. Scott and Renshaw speaks to both sides of the issue with the frustration of an athlete, and the partner who is left helpless as they come to terms with living life without the sport. Again, the rugby insights are fantastic. The heartfelt frustrations and battles—both internal and external—for Nick Renshaw build the beauty of his dynamic characterization. Dr. Anna Scott is the perfect juxtaposed heroine for Renshaw. She’s smart, patient, and willing to let Renshaw work through his transition, no matter how long he takes. A beautiful duet by Jane Harvey-Berrick and Stuart Reardon.

One of the things that caught my eye with this duet was the rugby aspect. Many of you know my oldest graduated high school and hung up his baseball cleats when he entered college. However, he joined the rugby team. He’s heading into his fifth year of rugby, and I’m still green behind the ears watching it. Stuart Reardon’s rugby scenes were an eye-opener and teaching tool for me as a reader. He explained a knock-on which finally made sense to me! He wrote of the physical rigor, which I already knew from watching, but his words created the depth which made Nick Renshaw the character who brought tears to my eyes as well as made me live the story through Nick’s eyes.

Additionally, my husband was lost when his own football career came to an end. The struggle as he transitioned was difficult. I felt every ounce of Both Nick and Anna’s side of the story in Undefeated and Model Boyfriend as it was all too real and I’ve had to live with that too. Like I said at the opening, they nailed this try in all the ways possible with this duet.

Forbidden Love Trilogy

The Forbidden Love series is an M/M series with twists and turns which build the dynamic characterization between Matt, Declan, and Jake. Zane Michaelson knows how to keep the plot moving and weave in the dirty details of one’s past while pushing on through the present. Michaelson layers this trilogy with a surface story of a reunion between Matt and Declan, but he’s a clever author who uses his craft to unfold a plot where a past comes to haunt the two, the present continues to separate them (despite their underlying admissions), and an uncertain future wrapped up with Jake caught in the middle. He unravels the chilling details of Matt’s upbringing but uncovers more than just the skeletons of his past in the process.

Michaelson’s stories leave the reader yearning for more of his style with each new release. He has an underlying humor which integrates itself within some of the harshest of scenarios and does nothing to distract from the gravity of the situation. In fact, he is a master at blending these coping mechanisms together to paint the perfect scenario for each situation. He touches lightly on problems which plague society today like group homes, adoption, family structures, religion, moral codes, ethical standards, and broaches them in a welcoming manner, not a political platform. If you’re ready for a series with all the ups, downs, mystery, intrigue, and of course a little dirty erotica sprinkled in then get out and grab the trilogy today. I know I’m looking forward to more from Zane Michaelson in the future.
