Review: Beyond the Horizon
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Just when you think you seen it all in the Sons of Templar MC series, we are given more heartache and twists I would never have expected. For those of us who have read the full series and were introduced to Lily/Asher in prior books we knew something was going on, but never did I imagine this story. For those of you who have not read any other books besides this one, that is OK and you can easily follow along as each character has it's own story, but it is nice to see the past crew and new crew that will be forthcoming. They have all been five star reads with these HOT Alpha men in Amber, but there is something about Asher's sweet side that has me loving him more at the moment. Don't get me wrong they all have their sweet/alpha side, but just his actions and words has your heart-beating and wanting you to take a ride on his motorcycle.
Three years ago Lily/Asher shared one night. They had an instant connection right off the bat, but they couldn't be more different. Lily is shy and a flower and Asher is the tatted bad boy with a heart. They both share similar issues with loss, but now that he knows what pushed her away three years ago things are going to change. He is going to claim her as his, "OLD LADY", but it won't be easy. Lily is very independent and accepts no help from even her friends. You meet her friend, Bex. Wowzer! She is a handful, but a very good friend when you put aside her issues. I love how Rosa, Gwen and Amy band together as family when it comes to their friends, family and MC life. We get to not only see Cade, Brock and Bull we get to laugh at Lucky and then Gage who is always hoping to blow something up. Haven't met these characters yet, have no fear if this is your first book by this author cause you will fall in love with this blended family/friends. While we see some sweet and soft moments coming from an MC, we still get the edge of our seats twists. Come on, we all know the MC life has drama, but never did I expect where this was headed after they worked so hard to clean up their name. As you finish one of Anne's books you are usually at peace and are OK with waiting for the next book since you get left on a happy note, but not this one per say cause while we get left with a smile, we are left yearning for Lucky's story based upon the turn of events blasted our way.
Beyond the Horizon is about both sides of the horizon and you learn just how lucky you are to get to see the Horizon in person whether it be at dusk or dawn. You will tear up, you will laugh and you will be fearful that the Horizon may not be so bright anymore. All I can say is, maybe luck with be on Lucky's side and we breathe clearer in Amber again. This will quickly become on of your favorite MC series.

"It’s hard to move on in life when the shadow of my past is at my heels at all times. Just when I think that I got over the past, and that I’m ready to move on, it sneaks up on me like a jungle cat who’s been starving for days on end and needs food." Lauren Reynolds has been married for two years, and has been with her husband, Cooper Reynolds for four years. Everything in their life is perfect: Cooper is a loving, understanding husband who thinks the world of Lauren and Lauren reciprocates those feelings. There's just one problem: for four years, before Lauren and Cooper started dating, she was in an emotionally abusive relationship that still haunts her and eats at her every day. "Silenced" is the story of Lauren's journey to finding absolute happiness in a life that has been ripped to shreds several times. With the help of Cooper, Lauren will overcome and conquer her past, leaving it all where it belongs.

“I am many things but normal is not one of them,” says Aimee Shaye when asked to describe herself. She is a twenty-three year old novelist whose genres include Dark-Fantasy, Romance, Erotic Romance, Science-Fiction, and Steampunk. When asked what drives her, Aimee says, “The world around me. The people I know. The love I have gained. The pain I have endured.” Though young, Aimee has experienced many things that she believes no one (man or woman) should ever have to endure, and as a result of that she has turned her pain into liquid words that fill the pages of her books, novels, novelettes, and short-stories.

All About The D Cover Reveal
Cover Design: Najla Qamber Designs
Model: Mitchell Wick
Photographer: Wong Sim
So you’d never suspect I spend my nights photographing my impressive junk for a NSFW blog. Don’t roll your eyes. I’m not bragging. I have millions of followers who’ll tell you they live for my posts.
I’m like a superhero, saving humanity one dick pic at a time.
Except leading a double life means I need someone to help me protect my anonymity, so that no one, especially my family, ever discovers my online celebrity.
When I call one of the most respected law firms in town, I expect quality legal advice and confidentiality. Not a sinfully sexy attorney whose dangerous curves and soul-piercing gray eyes make me want to personally demonstrate my particular skill set.
I shouldn’t be tempted.
Especially when she knows all of my best-kept secrets. But everyone has a breaking point. And I’ve met mine.
Review: Out of the Ashes
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
The story I have been waiting for is finally here! I was first introduced to Mia and Bull (Zane) in the Unquiet Minds series and I was excited to learn that they had their own story in the Sons of Templar MC series. You don’t know how excited I was! I will say that you do not need to read either series to read either of the stories. You get a full background from both books, but I wanted the full story on the parents and to read more on the tragic of Laurie that we see glimpses of in the MC series. If you only read one of the books from either series, you will enjoy the story trust me; however, if you read both series you get double the pleasure, just saying. Haha!
Mia and Lexie moved to a small town called, Amber to get a fresh start and to head the hotel in town that is owed by the only family she knows (Steve and Ava). Even though these two characters are secondary, I would love to see a novella on them to get their side of the story when it comes to a loss of child, accepting Mia/Lexie are their own and what they had to endure with the crazy man. If not, I am OK, but I always want to see the other side cause I am weird like that. The town if full of HOT men, pretty sure that is a requirement to live in Amber. These men just keep getting hotter and hotter let me tell you! Mia is full of life especially when you learn about her past. She never lets those demons get to her cause she hides them so well even when the past is resurfacing she is strong and will protect Lexie even if it means shattering herself in the process. She meets Bull and right off the bat those looks he burns at her could set her on fire (not in a good way either at those times). We learn why those looks occur though and the struggles Bull faces to live and to battle his demons.
Bull as we learn is Zane. He never thought light would shine again after the ashes that landed in Amber. He starts to see the light when it comes to Lexie and Mia. I love how the quiet times between him and Lexie work for them and how it bonds them together. Mia may be his saving grace until Hope tries to get in the way. Trust me, it’s a heart beating moment. Bull may be burning stares at you, screams danger and belong to a MC club, but don’t let that stop you from falling in love with him, we all know MC men have a soft side and it seems only Mia/Lexie can bring this out. OK so a few more can too, but my lips are sealed!
You will not only love the mother/daughter relationship between Mia/Lexie, you will be on the edge of your seat when twists unfold a few times and what this means for them, you will be fanning yourself with the intense passion scenes and you will be wanting to be claimed as an “OLD LADY” just to get to hang with the Sons of Templar family. What burns down must be rebuilt and this story gives this to us. A second chance at life and love.
Again, you do not need to read any of the Sons of Templar books or the Unquiet Minds series to read this, but you are missing out on some great stories and I cannot wait to get my hands on more of these two series as they become available. It’s always interesting trying to figure out who will get the next story. You will fall in love with all characters from any of these two series. The dark becomes brighter for Mia/Bull. I love how Alpha he is and how he protects his girls. This author is very talented and knows how to hook you from beginning to end and leaves you yearning for more now. Love it!

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Melissa Collins has always been a book worm. Studying Literature in college ensured that her nose was always stuck in a book. She followed her passion for reading to the most logical career choice: English teacher. Her hope was to share her passion for reading and the escapism of books to her students. Having spent more than a decade in front of a classroom, she can easily say that it’s been a dream. Her passion for writing didn’t start until more recently. When she was home on maternity leave in early 2012, she read her first romance novel and her head filled with the passion, angst and laughter of the characters who she read about it. It wasn’t long before characters of her own took shape in her mind. Their lives took over Melissa’s brain and The Love Series was born.
ManEater by Aleya Michelle Cover Reveal
My Heart Series Standalone Spin Off
I currently have six full length books released and one novella.
My first love has always been reading, so the writing side is very natural to me. Favourite books include anything by Abbi Glines, but Fallen too Far is a favourite, Pulse & Collide by Gail McHugh and The Driven trilogy by K Bromberg.
Hobbies of mine are playing netball; shopping and I love listening to music. I add it into my writing frequently.
I look forward to introducing my readers to new characters and new book ideas.
I am totally enjoying this rollercoaster of being an Indie author and hoping others enjoy my writing as much as I love writing it.
