“I have a diary because I’m not who I say I am.

She’s fabricated for your liking.
Trust me, you don’t want to turn my pages.”

Emily Davis has a secret … or two. Even her best friend, Cori, is none the wiser. You see, Em is a part-time sexter and makes a living fooling men into believing whatever it is she wants them to believe. And she’s not ashamed about it. Not in the slightest. Yet, those around her could be, which is why she has kept it a secret ... until now. Until a sun-tanned, male revue performer by the name of Brad surfed into her life.

Surfer Brad pushes Em’s boundaries, pushes her buttons and pushes his way into her heart. But will she push him away when she has no choice but to reveal what it is she's hiding? Everything she’s hiding?

Excerpt

“Ugh! That’s it. I’m getting a boob job,” I groaned, fastening my strapless push-up bra and adjusting what little cleavage I had.

Cori walked into the bathroom and leaned over the basin to get close to the mirror. “On’t be ’upid,” she mumbled while meticulously applying her red lipstick.

“I’m not. I want tits. Big, round, perky tits.”

She turned toward me and eyed my beestings. “No, you don’t.”

“That’s easy for you to say. You have tits.”

“So do you!”

“Lies. All lies. Best friends are not supposed to lie to one another,” I huffed, lifting my arms and applying deodorant.

“Fine. You belong to the Itty Bitty Titty committee. Big deal. At least you don’t have an arse the size of a small swimming pool.” She twisted and assessed her butt.

“Pah-lease! You’ve got to be kidding. There’s nothing wrong with your arse.”

“Says you!” she mocked, pressing her lips together and blotting her lipstick. “Seriously though, listen to us. We females are never entirely happy with our appearance. Always nit-picking. Always finding faults. We’re our own worst enemies and biggest critics. And for what reason other than to highlight our flaws and feel inadequate? It’s just stupid.”

I stared down at my little breasticles with sorrow. They deserved love. It wasn’t their fault they were smaller than most. I really should treat them better. “You’re right,” I said, looking back up. “They’re underdogs, and everyone should love underdogs.”

She blotted her lips together once more. “They should.”

“In fact, I will parade my teeny puppies tonight. I will wear them with pride.”

She nodded. “Good girl.”

I hiked them in my cupped hands, feeling empowered. “I know! Let’s start a revolution.”

Cori laughed. “Let’s not. I know what your revolutions entail.”

Greatness. That’s what they entail. Pure fucking greatness.

Review - Reveal by Elle Brooks


Title: Reveal
Author: Elle Brooks
Release Date: August 30, 2015


I used to believe in destiny.

I was six years old when I first took to the stage, and I’ve danced every day since. It’s the biggest part of who I am. The fuel that drives me forward.

My oxygen...
My life... 
My soul. 

The stars were perfectly aligned, and my fairy tale had slowly begun to play out like a beautifully scripted passage from a romance novel. I was all set to live my happily ever after… 

Until I wasn’t.

If dancing was my heart, Daniel was the blood that kept it beating. I was content with supporting him as he worked towards his music dreams, but then he disappeared, leaving me scared, alone and suffocating under the crushing weight of his debts. 

It’s said that opportunity often comes disguised as misfortune.

When one door closes, another one opens. But I wasn’t prepared for it to belong to Reveal, one of New York City’s most exclusive Burlesque Clubs. 

It feels as though the universe is conspiring against me until fate thrusts two very different men into the equation. And what they have in common, no one could have predicted. 

Destiny may have delivered them both, but who stays is my choice.






Reveal is the perfect title for this story. There were so many twists and turns that kept being revealed throughout the entire story. I was glued to my kindle and couldn’t swipe the pages fast enough.

Robyn is a dancer. She has been dancing her entire life. 

“I’ve danced from the age of six. Ballet, tap, modern, street and anything and everything in between. It’s more than a passion; it’s an obsession bordering on insanity. If I couldn’t dance, I would cease to exist.” 

When her boyfriend up and disappears, she is left with all of his debt and a loan shark knocking down her door. She turns to a friend and ends up as a burlesque dancer at a club called Reveal. 

Callum is the owner of Reveal. He takes one look at Robyn dancing and hires her instantly. He is drawn to her like he’s never been drawn to someone before. 

“I’m usually much better at not blurring the lines. I guess the thing about Robyn that’s bothering me the most is that I want to blur the lines with her. I want to smudge them so badly that they’re not even lines anymore.”

However, Callum isn’t the only man in Robyn’s life. Enter Cole, a wealthy business man who is everything Robyn should want. He comes into her life at a much needed time. He is such a gentleman though and doesn’t push her further than she is ready even if he wants to. 

“The thought is tormenting, and although I do want to be her friend, I can’t deny this intense attraction. I think I’d sell my soul to the devil himself to have my lips pressed against hers.”

Between Robyn’s crazy life, and juggling two men, I had to know what was going to happen. I loved this story and couldn’t put it down. The ending especially surprised me. 

If you love your books to be steamy, full of angst and drama, and to be unputdownable, look no farther. This is a must read! 
~ Review by Tiffany

I went in thinking, ‘Oh no, this is going to be a love triangle that is going to go wrong’, yet I was really surprised that it definitely wasn't. Now, Ms. Brooks definitely threw in some curve balls that had me rethinking of what and how this was going to play out. 

Robyn was betrayed and left to pay the consequences of her ex, Daniel. She didn't know how she was going to do that when she was barely able to make ends meet, and if she wanted to keep living, she had to scramble and find a way to pay for his mistake and betrayal. Robyn's love for dance is the way she finds a light in the dark tunnel she is currently in and, no matter what, she's decided to do what she needs to, to continue living and surviving.

Cole has seen Robyn at the coffee shop across from his job, so he knows he has to find a way to get her attention and a way to get her to go out with him. What he does is pretty funny and smart so guys, take notes on this the next time you want a woman's attention!

Callum's way of getting over the ultimate betrayal is losing himself in any woman that allows him to, because he refuses to get attached again. His motto is "Don't sh*t where you eat", yet he seems to have done that and now he knows he's screwed!! 

Robyn knows she shouldn't get involved with either, yet one man in particular has a strong pull on her that, as hard as she tries, she knows there is no way she will be able to walk away from…

As I mentioned there are curve balls thrown in here and, let me say, for a minute there I thought to myself, ‘Oh, this just cannot be!!’ Kudos, Elle Brooks, for keeping me on my toes and totally throwing me left field. Can't wait for what else you have up your sleeve!

Rebecca Donovan has done it again. She has created a story so emotionally captivating you can’t quite figure out what is going to unravel next. This story will keep you intrigued till the very end. At some points you may feel the mystery drags on, but push through, I promise you every stretch of a POV or scene has it’s purpose in order to help the puzzle pieces fall into place for the secret to be exposed.

Starting from the prologue we immediately know the narrator, Cal is taking us on the journey that is “What If”. We get a glimpse at the drift between himself and his best friend Rae from the rest of their small town ex-classmates. And who is Cal searching for, no other than the ice princess, the head mean-girl—Nicole Bentley. Yet, she is nowhere to be found, her click has moved on as if they never revolved around her. Thus, begins our first question from the first couple of pages, who is this Nicole?

Cal Logan, is a sophomore at Crenshaw University. He has the whole boy-next-door, boy-take-home-to-parents charm going for him, girls come to him asking for dates, yet he never fights for the girls to stay. He lets them walk away or he breaks it off before it could get too serious. Until he runs into Nyelle. A feisty, openly opinionated, free-spirited, whirlwind of mystery. The only thing is, Cal is convinced this “Nyelle” is a girl from his past, a girl he regrets never taking a chance with, a girl he has crushed on since the 4th grade—Nicole Bentley.

“I’m looking for the girl I’ll regret if I let her go.”
Nyelle ponders thoughtfully for a moment. “Your what if girl. I like it.”
“My what?” I ask with a bite of the sandwich in my mouth.
“Your what if girl. You serial date so you don’t regret passing these girls up, in case one of them is her.”

What if 3”></a>
<div class=

For a good portion of the beginning of the book Cal is determined to prove this girl Nyelle is his Nicole. His best friend Rae does not believe him nor does she care, for she still holds a grudge against the friend (Nicole) who abandoned her and Cal all those years ago to hang out with the snobs of their community. While Cal takes us through the present, past memories are retold from both Nicole and Richelle’s POV. Reading multiple POVs can get confusing, however Rebecca Donovan does a phenomenal job not overwhelming the reader. Rather, each recap from the past adds to the intrigue as well as offering insight into the friendship dynamics that are Cal + Rae, Cal + Richelle, Cal + Nicole, Nicole + Rae, Nicole + Richelle, Nicole + Cal. Don’t worry it may seem like a lot but the bonds are easy to follow. The bond that hooked my attention was between Richelle and Nicole. Two girls as opposite as friends can get, yet a friendship so deep, it will have you reminiscing a childhood/life-long friendship you have maintained in your life.

Even though we do not receive a POV from Nyelle, the descriptions we see through Cal’s POV help the reader recognize and feel the emotion pouring out of Nyelle, causing your heart to crack while your mind continues to fumble with “what happened to this girl?”

What If 1”></a>

What IF 2”></a>
<div class=

While I was invested in the relationship between Cal + Nyelle, the friendship portrayed between Nicole + Richelle was a tie for me. You will feel a sense of a love triangle as the past is revealed between the 3—Cal+Nicole+Richelle. Rebecca Donovan does an excellent job offering you a bread crumb and just when you think you know the path the story is going to take another piece of information or a scene takes place making you scratch your head once again. As the past POVs progress from elementary to high school, it becomes easier for the reader to comprehend the painful past Nicole Bentley endured as well as how 4 best friends fell apart.

The “Aha” moment is as shattering as you would expect. Tears will spill down your cheeks without you even noticing because you won’t be able to stop reading. Once all the secrets are out in the open you will reflect on parts of the story and it will make sense why certain things played out the way they did over the course of the book. I would have liked a little more insight into the gap from the end of the story to the epilogue though. Overall, this book exceeded my expectations. Rebecca Donovan’s writing is beautifully moving. She has a way of portraying the love between characters in such a tasteful manner, emotions flow off the page.

~ Review by Tori







Optimism seeps from every pore of my body. I truly believe that what's supposed to happen... will! In that regard, I don't know how to give up; it's not part of my biological make up.

I'm a passionate (and some would say, overly enthusiastic) person. I learn by doing (and have been burned more times that I'd like to admit), but I will always throw my entire self into whatever I do - fail or succeed.

I think this is evident when I write, leaving nothing behind and spilling it all out on the pages. I give it all to my readers - love it or hate it.

The path I'm on is very often my own, veering off the beaten path at the sight of something more interesting or captivating, getting caught in the vines and thorns in order to experience the beauty and intrigue others often pass by. And I always meet the most interesting people along the way...
