Truth. Pain. Freedom.
 
An awakening like no other.
 
When life is determined to buck you off, dig in and ride hard.
The bull. The most dangerous lies are the ones we tell ourselves. To survive, I have to face the truth. Easier said than done when it’s not all black and white. There’s the in-between, and this murky void is where I always tend to land.
The horns. Lies don’t always hurt. My lies protected me, but when they are exposed and I can no longer outrun the many shades of truth, I’ll be in for one hell of a reckoning.
 
The ride. From the outside, my life looks like one big adventure after another. But, there is no freedom in anarchy, and that’s the way I’ve lived my life. Until now. Until Ransom.
Denver Dempsey was a slut for oblivion. Now, she’s a slut for love. And it’s that kind of thinking that got her in trouble in the first place. Ransom awakens Denver in ways she never imagined, but when her true feelings send her reeling, will they catapult her into the arms of Greer—her ex best-friend-with-benefits? After never loving anyone, herself included, she now loves two. One kept her alive. One teaches her how to live. If they didn’t both love her … if hearts weren’t bound to be broken, it would be the stuff dreams are made of.
 
Will Denver remain locked up in the bullpen, or is she strong enough to open the chute and be freed?

When I read USED, I was so hesitant to read FREED but I am so happy that I did. The reason for my hesitation was that I was nervous and scared to see how the whole Greer, Denver, and Ransom situation will be played out.  I know there will be others who disagree with me whether Greer could be forgiven and redeemed. I firmly agree what he did was wrong, but I don’t think Greer is a bad person. He made a choice that he has to live with for the rest of his life. Both Denver and Greer played a part that lead them to USE each other. The Greer-Denver-Ransom storyline was just perfect in this second installment. I didn’t feel USED but FREED. Freed brought closure, healing, forgiveness, and love.

FREED picked up where it last left off in USED. Denver is reeling with her broken friendship with Greer and moving on with Ransom. I was at a loss for words on how perfect this storyline was. Denver shocked me with her growth.  She was able to admit her faults, forgive, and move on.  I just love the BRAND NEW Denver and it took her long time to get where she is and she got there with the help of Ransom.  Finally, her heart was open to LOVE, HEAL, FORGIVE, and MOVE ON. The scenes with Greer and Denver were so raw, honest and heartfelt. I loved how Ms. Halat didn’t put the total blame on Greer, but allowed readers to see both sides and what led to things to spiral out of control. The closure and repairing of friendship was what made me LOVE this book the most.

Closure and forgiveness allowed this new chapter in Denver and Ransom’s life. And I absolutely loved JOHN RANSOM for his role in helping Denver heal. He brought strength and faith back into Denver’s life. Who knew this bull rider was a therapist too...I mean he gives meaningful advice to Denver. He healed her emotionally and that was what Denver needed the most. He allowed her to trust him and give him the control that he needs in their relationship. What can I  say but I am absolutely smitten with John Ransom...officially making me TEAM RANSOM!!  Behind the tough exterior of John Ransom lies a man who was patient, kind, understanding and giving. He puts Denver’s needs above his.

Ms. Halat did an amazing job in FREED!! I was blown away with how she was able to free all the characters emotionally and physically. Lynetta Halat brought back light into Denver, Greer, and Ransom’s life. No longer used but freed. Thank you Ms. Halat for writing a moving and touching story that made me feel.

Bending down in front of me, Ransom taps one foot so that I’ll raise it. He slides one leg of my panties on and then the other before pulling them up to rest just below my skirt. Fixing me with his stare, he grasps my thighs and presses his nose and mouth to my center. My back arches from the wall, but my hands stay where he placed them. “Fuck, you smell good. Good enough to eat, but that can’t happen tonight.”
 
I whimper low in my throat as he runs his nose and open mouth over the apex of my thighs, placing open-mouthed kisses right where I need him most. My eyelids flutter and close, only to pop back open when he commands, “Eyes on me.” He places a light kiss right over my swollen, begging center. My whole body convulses.
 
“Nuh, uh,” he chastises, enjoying himself entirely too much. Hooking his fingers in my panties again, he draws them up over my thighs and under my skirt. His calloused fingertips scratch my soft skin even though his touch is gentle. Once he has them in place, he runs his fingertips down the triangle of the fabric ever so slowly, stopping before he reaches my need. Goose bumps make quick work of my body. “I’m addicted to how responsive you are to my touch,” he whispers, planting a hard kiss there this time. A desperate moan wrenches itself from my throat. “And I haven’t even really touched you or tasted you yet. Can you imagine how good we’re going to be together, Denver?”
 
Swallowing hard, I manage a nod ‘cause that’s rhetorical, right? Ransom slides his hands from under my skirt and skims them up my body to fit his hands around my jaw. He plants a quick kiss on my ear before sucking the lobe into his mouth and nipping at it. “Remember what I said,” he whispers. “No touching yourself. Your orgasms are mine. And when you deserve them, I’ll be the one to give them to you.” I whimper again. “If it helps, I can’t fucking wait, and when I’m stroking myself tonight, it’ll be with your soft moans in my ear, your incredible scent surrounding me, and your delectable body that I’m imagining losing myself in.”
 
I groan because no, that doesn’t help at all, actually. I bite down on voicing my frustration because I know it’ll get me nowhere with this man.

A lover of good books, bad boys, and kickass tunes, she'd always dreamt of penning books that people could connect with and remember. She also has a secret penchant for wringing the emotions out of unsuspecting readers, and she collects reader's tears in much the same way that wine connoisseurs collect their favorite vintage.
 
Her first novel, Every Rose, was the perfect catalyst to launch her into the world of publishing, effectively burrowing her way into the hearts and minds of readers throughout the world. She followed that with Everything I've Never Had, her bestselling adult romance novel. Now, she has penned Used and Freed, New Adult Romances that she hopes sinks their teeth into you and don't let go.
 
Her love of the English language prompted her to pursue a Master's degree in English from Old Dominion University in Virginia, where she also minored in snark and interpretive dance. She lives somewhere along the Mississippi Gulf Coast with her adorable husband, two amazing sons, and two loveable dogs. When she's not writing riveting stories, she likes to focus on her macramé art and her scouring of eBay, where she buys locks of hair from her favorite rock stars, most especially Bret Michaels and Dave Grohl.
