The storm of '87 had been the greatest, most ferocious storm to have hit Britain in centuries. The suffering that ensued was plentiful, but none more so than that of little Matthew Mason, whose parents were brutally murdered in the midst of the storm by a homeless man desperate to find shelter.

After 25 years of torment, Matthew is released from a mental institute under the watchful eye and care of Tammy Atkins, a care worker with a secret history of alcohol abuse and self-harm. As Matthew struggles to adapt to his new found liberty, he finds himself continuously plagued by the demons of his past. Haunted by strange and ghastly images and urges, Matthew sets himself upon a path of vengeance; determined to seek out his parents' killer and put his demons to rest once and for all. The Damaged is a disturbing psychological thriller, delving deep into the darkest depths of the human psyche.

A Fascinating and Disturbingly Dark Read!!


Simon Law is a New to me author.

I found this book to be both Fascinating and Disturbingly Dark. Fascinating because it does look pretty deep into the human psyche and how events in our lives can affect us, even years down the road.

Well written, multi layered, and packed with characters that are very well developed and believable, I had to walk away a time or two, set my Kindle down, and process what was happening. This story has some serious triggers in it and may not be for everyone.

The world is dark, consistent, and well developed, downright even scary at times. 25 years in a mental institution is not an easy pill to swallow. Both Matthew and Tammy have some deep seated issues they are dealing with too. I don't use spoilers in my reviews, as they may ruin a read for someone.

The narrator did an amazing job of presenting each of the chararafters, there is no way I could not keep them consistent. Great Job!

I was gifted an audio book version of this story by the author/publisher in exchange for an honest review. No renumeration was involved.

Ever the responsible eldest brother, Caleb Pierce started working for his father’s luxury contracting business at a young age, dreaming of one day sitting in the boss’s chair. But his father’s will throws a wrench in his plans by stipulating that Caleb share control of the family business with his two estranged brothers.

Things only get more complicated when demanding high-end home designer Morgan hires Caleb to build her a customized dream house that matches her specifications to a T—or she’ll use her powerful connections to poison the Pierce brothers’ reputation. Not one to ignore a challenge, Caleb vows to get the job done—if only he can stop getting distracted by his new client’s perfect…amenities.

But there’s more to icy Morgan than meets the eye. And Caleb’s not the only one who knows how to use a stud-finder. In fact, Morgan is pretty sure she’s found hers—and he looks quite enticing in a hard hat.

Jennifer Probst is a new to me author... I am loving this steamy new series, Billionaire Builders. Well written, multilayered, full of mystery, angst, and what I term, real life, and picturesque situations. I look forward to reading more of her stories. Bring It on!

Caleb Pierce is an amazing character. He is handsome, strong, angry, outspoken, well developed and so believable.

Morgan is strong in her own rights. Beautiful, sexy, intelligent, and demanding. She is Awesome!

What I liked the most about this book, besides the story line is its location and type of business. It speaks home to me, I am from the state and my dad and brother were a carpenter/contractors.

If you are looking for a hot, new, and smokin' series. This is one to read. It Rocks!!

I won this spicy morsel in a contest. No renumeration was involved.

G.E Stills is a new to me author, I really enjoyed this writer's style. He had me at Hello and I will be reading more from G.E. Stills.

Where to start? I found this to be very engaging from the start, well written, and easy to follow, not to mention, double on the spice! Oh yeah, it's paranormal too. Another win in my book.

The world building is consistent, dark, steamy, and full of tantalizing twists, and devilish turns. When evil surfaces and really throws a wrench in Mia's world, the story takes off and was difficult to put down when life calls.

The characters are well developed as are their back stories. Mia is a very likable character in my book. She is fortunate to have four hunks as friends.. .. Yes, she is.

If you like STEAM in your paranormal reads... then I recommend this to the 18+ reads out there. Go Get Ya Some!!

Normally zany and often naughty talking, G. E. has a serious and compassionate side if you can find it. He cares deeply for his friends and hasn't met an animal yet he didn't like. He is terrified of heights so hasn't braved the tramway ride in his home town. He lives in the southwest while longing to live by the sea. He often says, "We have the sandy beaches but where is the water?"

He heeds the call of the many characters that pop into his mind and demand to have their stories put in print. Their tales are both serious and humorous. A multi-published author his stories cover many genres including contemporary romance, paranormal romance and science fiction. His stories are both erotic and non-erotic in nature. G.E. is the leader of a local writers group and in addition hosts a meeting of his own locally on fiction writing bi-monthly.

G.E. Stills loves to hear from his readers and can be contacted at any of these sites.

Jo Raven is a New to me Author.

Holy Smokes!!! What a spicy, tasty morsel I have had the pleasure of reading. A little slow at first, however, there's enough mystery and suspense to keep me flipping pages until... the plot thickened.

Jo Raven has built a believable world of steamy, romantic intrigue mixed with mystery, suspense, and twisted turns.

The character building is consistent, and easy to follow. Storm had me at Hello! Raylin is a very likable creature in her own rights. The chemistry between them is SEXILICIOUS!!!!

A spendid way to spend a rainy day.
