✪ COVER REVEAL ✪ ANNE JOLIN ✪ HELL ON HEELS ✪



HELL ON HEELS by Anne Jolin
Genre: Women's Fiction Contemporary Romance
Release Date: April 26, 2016



— SYNOPSIS —

I use people. Not in a malicious way, but in the way an addict abuses their substance of choice. People are my vice—men specifically. I crave the emotional high they give me with a unique and reckless disregard for my own well-being—eagerly floating into an unsustainable euphoria, knowing full well that after every high comes an equal, if not more powerful, plummet into a devastating abyss. But like every junkie, I crawl willingly back into the arms of my demons.

Oh, the price we pay to feel loved. We’d all sell our souls to the devil himself for that. Perhaps I have already. 

They say that acknowledging that you have a problem is one of the first steps to recovery. Well, in that case, my name is Charleston Smith and I have a fucking problem.

— ABOUT THE AUTHOR: —

Hey y’all, 
I was born and raised in Ladner, a small farm town just outside Vancouver, Canada. I grew up riding horses, shooting guns, and driving in trucks. 

I never expected to be an author. A massage therapist? Yes. Take over the family construction company? Yes. But an author? No. Writing was something that snuck up on me and rooted itself into my life. It was beautiful to discover that love, and I’m truly grateful to say I’ve found my passion. 

Since I’ve always been a creative person, it feels amazing to harness all of that energy and use it to tell a story I love. I enjoy incorporating bits of my real life into the stories I write. What parts are true? Hah. I’ll never tell—what would be the fun in that? 

If I could leave y’all with one thing, it’s that life’s far too short to not live it out loud. Drown in your passions, hold on tight to the things that inspire you, and chase your dreams relentlessly. I can promise you without a doubt that you won’t regret it. I know I don’t. 


Mad love, 
Anne Jolin

"No game is worth playing unless you're playing to win"

OK, so I am not going to lie, I have been #TeamWalkingDildo from the get go.

But now I think that maybe Noah has some stiff (pun intended!) competition from #TeamMiniWalkingDildo, his younger brother Matt.

When the "the brother-in-law's brother" Matt hooks up with "the sister-in-law's sister" Mia, I just knew that things were going to get sexy hot super fast.

I mean wow, the sexual chemistry between Matt and Mia is through the roof!  You could feel their attraction to each other leap off the pages.  And when they are in the same room together - the sparks just flew!

But you could just feel that things were never going to be easy between them - especially with Mia constantly complicating things, and Matt's reputation.

I could understand Mia's hesitation, truly I could.  But I just wanted to clip her around the ears, tell her to wake up to herself and to stop being so stubborn.

"I can't stop thinking about you, Legs, and I don't fucking want to."

I felt for Matt as no one would take him seriously, wouldn't even try to see that he is a changed man.  I could feel his frustration and his hurt that his family and friends though of him that way.


 As we learn more about Matt and Mia's history, the more I just loved Matt.

What I loved the most about Game Player (well, besides M & M) was that we got more of the characters from the Bliss series, and OMG the banter between the family and friends was laugh out loud funny, particularly between Noah and Matt.

"Married life has ruined you," I grumble.

"Au contraire, little dicked one, married life means I never wake up alone and there never have to take my one-eyes trouser snake in hand unless me wife is begging to watch me do it."

I laughed, I got sad, I got angry, I got happy while reading Game Player.  I feel that these people are part of my family I have been reading about them so long now.  I devoured every word in one sitting, and can't wait to see where Ms Harvey takes us next.

Oh, and I still can't decide between Noah and Matt, so I will just have to be

EXCERPT

“Have you ever measured it?” I ask with a grin, as his eyes grow wide.

“No,” he replies with an awkward laugh, totally giving himself away. “Why would I? It does the job,” he says, sounding defensive.

“Well it certainly doesn’t stop short, does it?”

He rolls me onto my back and hovers over me. “It always rises to the challenge.”

I wrap my arms around his shoulders and glide my fingers through his hair. “It’s a hard job, but somebody’s got to do it.”

“I’m inches above the rest.”

“There’s stiff competition,” I add, lifting my hips to deepen the friction.

“There’s no contest, Legs. I’m the biggest you’ll ever have.”

“Will I, though? Should I have it . . . again?” I whisper.

“It would be poor form to leave me in such a state, Legs.”

“It would, wouldn’t it?” I muse. “I must stay strong, rigid even . . .”

“I think that’s my job. Besides, it might be bad for my health to stay in this state.” He

lowers his forehead to mine, his eyes boring into me with such carnal heat, it’s a wonder I don’t spontaneously combust.

“Blue bean is just as real as blue balls, you know. I read about it in Cosmo.”

He chuckles, his shaking body sending delicious vibrations throughout my body. “We can’t have that now, can we?”

His lips brush over mine, so soft and gentle. My body flushes in anticipation of what I hope will be amazing sex with a very sexy—and talented—guy. “I believe it’s time I proved my worth.”

♥ Broken ♥ Nicola Haken ♥ Blog Tour & Giveaway ♥





When Theodore Davenport decides to switch his mundane job for a career, he walks into Holden House Publishing with enthusiasm and determination to succeed. As he settles into his new role, makes new friends, and dreams of making it to the top, everything is going to plan.

Until he meets James Holden, CEO of Holden House.

James Holden hasn’t been able to stop thinking about his encounter with the timid man he met in a club bathroom last week, and when he discovers the one haunting his dreams is an employee, he can’t seem to stop himself from pursuing him.

Just a little fun ­ that’s what James tells himself. He can’t afford to care for someone who can never reciprocate, not once they find out who he really is. James believes nobody deserves the burden of being attached to him. He’s a complicated man. Damaged. Difficult. Demanding.

Broken.

Is Theodore strong enough to confront James’ demons? More importantly, is James?

(M/M romance. Not suitable for readers under 18 years of age due to language and sexual content. ***Please note*** This book contains scenes of self harm, mental illness and suicidal ideation which may pose as a trigger, or be uncomfortable for some readers.)

Broken.

That is exactly how I feel after finishing this book. 

Broken was a difficult read for me.  Not because it was a bad book.  On the contrary, it was brilliant.  But the subject matter hit a bit close to home.

I could completely relate to James.  His thoughts, his feelings, his justifications for his actions.  I have been in his shoes.  Felt those feeling, had those thoughts.

In Theodore and James' family, I could see my family.  Their helplessness, their pain as they tried to help me.

Broken went from zero to 100 in the first couple of chapter!  All I could think was


For the first 45% of the book there was an amazing push/pull between Theo and James.  I just wanted them to get their act together.

Then at about 50% my heart shattered along with Theodore's.  I couldn't read through the tears.  I am sure the neighbours were wondering what animal was dying with the ungodly noises that came from me.  Ugly, snotty crying ensued.


“Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.”

Ms Haken hit every emotion.  I was heartbroken.  I laughed.  I cried.  I felt... hope.  It made me want to call my mum at midnight to tell her sorry for what I put them through.

Even now, writing this review I am feeling emotional.  I have a lump in my throat.  I could easily burst into tears.

Reading the synopsis, I wondered whether James' demons might have been of the mental illness variety.  I certainly was not expecting how deep Broken delved, or the visceral reaction I would have to it.

So thank you Ms Haken for taken the darkness that is mental illness and bringing it out into the  light.  It is sad that even in 2016 there is still the stigma surrounding mental illness, and it is about time it goes.

We all need to speak up about it.  If you feel that something is not right with a family member, friend, loved one - go with your gut instinct.  Ask them about it.  They will be reticent, but please please please, don't let it go.

This is a wonderful m/m romance.  Yes, it touches on deeper issues, but beneath it all it is about love.











Nicola lives in Rochdale, England with her husband and four children (six if you include the dog and cat!) She is the author the author of the m/m romance Souls of the Knight series, and is currently working on a standalone with new boys, James and Theo, due for release early 2016.

When she is not busy playing with her imaginary book friends (or talking about them with real life friends!) she can usually be found carrying out her ordinary mum/housewife/all round slave duties. Oh, and if the kids ever ask, she moonlights as the Pink Power Ranger while they're sleeping...
