1. Not telling the truth; lying.

2. Based on lies.


At the young, naive age of twenty-three, Alex Lewis believed in the deepness of his love and the strength of his marriage to, Libby, his teenage sweetheart. Married for three years, but struggling financially to keep a roof over their heads, Alex thought his wife would stand by him till the bitter end. But she didn’t. His world crashed down around him.

Fast forward seven years, we meet Alex Lewis again. In the time since his divorce, he has matured significantly. Now the founder and domineering CEO of A L Investments, a multimillion-pound Investment and Management Company, he couldn’t be more different. The high-flying career he has managed to carve conceals a raw and vulnerable side just under the surface. The scars from his ill-fated marriage run deep, leaving him distant, cold, and alone.

So when his path with Libby crosses and an opportunity for revenge presents itself, Alex jumps at the offer. His mind is determined to make Libby feel the pain he has suffered over the last seven years... but his heart and conscience are fiercely battling against him.

The love of his life is back once again, but who can win in this mendacious game of revenge?

Eventually, after many unfinished books and short stories, she finally decided to follow her passion and write books that she hopes people will love.

Re-release of Elena Matthews 'Look After You'..........

 

Holy smokes did I LOVE this book! I am so happy you guys are getting this chance all over again to find such a beautifully wrote book! I <3 Elena Matthews so hard, and with this book little did she know she would get me as a stalker after it :D

 

The birth of your firstborn child is supposed to be the best day of your life, a joyous occasion. Well that’s what twenty-eight year old Ava Jacobson thought. That is until her life takes a drastic turn for the worse and her daughter is born three months earlier than planned, weighing only two pounds, two ounces.

A distraught Ava is thrown into the deep end of motherhood and instead of being able to hold her baby like other moms, she has to sit back and watch her daughter fight for her life in the hospital’s neonatal intensive care unit, while her fiancé, Sebastian Gilbert is in the midst of a messy war in Afghanistan. Ava is left to pick up the pieces with the help of her only friend, Caleb Summers.

When her vulnerable state hits an all time low, she finds solace in an unexpected pair of intense green eyes. Eyes that belong to her daughter's doctor, Ashton Bailey, and she falls, like she has never fallen before. However, for the sake of Sebastian she desperately tries to fight against her newfound feelings for Ashton, but eventually the pull between the two is so strong that it is impossible for her to stay away.

Then when Ava is convinced things can't possibly get any worse, a cloud of blackness closes in on her as the secret demons of her past come back to haunt her, with news that will irreversibly shake her entire world forever.

As Ava’s roller coaster ride she calls life begins to circle the drain, she quickly learns that even through the darkness of evil, there is always that one person who will look after you and have the ability to pull you away from the brink of no return, when nobody else can.

Warning: Recommended for ages 18+ due to heavy subject matters of rape and suicide. Also includes violence, explicit language and sexual situations

Down and Out




 Synopsis
*Don’t read this book if you don’t like snarky, dominant, tattooed men who say things like “Open your mouth, and I will,” after you tell them to shove it. And don’t read this book if you don’t like sassy, strong-willed, fiercely independent heroines who use phrases like “bossy asshole” as a term of endearment. You have been warned.*

“Tattooed package of sin.”

That’s how Savannah Ryan would describe her new boss, Declan Whitmore, the deliciously tatted and pierced fighter who holds the top spot in Boston’s newest underground fighting organization. She’d also describe him as bossy, arrogant, and—depending on what he does to piss her off that particular day—an asshole.

It’s that aloof attitude, along with Savannah’s witty comebacks and tight little body that land her on his radar. Unfortunately for her, Declan is relentless when he sets his sights on someone, both in and out of the ring. Unfortunately for him, this recently reformed bad girl is trying to go straight after heading down a dangerous path. She’s not going to make this easy for him. In fact, she’s going to make it—and him—very, very hard.

Declan’s not worried, though. He’ll have Savannah come hell or high water, because if there’s one word he’d use to describe her, it’s “MINE.”

Review
4.5* I give for this book

Let me introduce you to Declan ,,, he is hot, tattooed, alpha, owns a gym, and he's an underground fighter ,,, he will use the girls for what he wants, what he needs ,,, then he wouldn't batter an eyelid and just simply walk away ,,, well that is until he met Savannah ,,, the girl that walked in to his life off the street, just needing a little help ,,, against all his first instincts he helps her when she needs it ,,, but it doesn't take long before sparks fly ,,,, words are said ,,, and moments are shared, never to have been experienced before

So here is Savannah ,,, she is like a saveloy you get from ya local chippy, a bag of mystery ,,, you'll see strong and feisty ,,, but you also see fear and fragility at times ,,, the walls are firmly built and would put any builder to shame ,,, there's no way they are coming down ,,, she walks into a gym after seeing a notice of a job vacancy ,,, wanting a new start, something different, something that's not because of how she looks or what she wears, it's not the best paid job but right now she has limited options and needs the work and the money desperately ,,, but she gets a whole lot more than she bargained for ,,, A WHOLE LOT MORE ,,,

Declan does casual ,,, Savannah does casual ,,, Declan doesn't do relationships ,,, Savannah doesn't do relationships ,,, PERFECT ,,, emotions need to be kept out of it ,,, but will that be possible for these two ,,, Declan doesn't believe love comes easy, only ever witnessing true love once in his life and never feeling it for himself ,,, Savannah doesn't believe coz everyone leaves, it never lasts ,,, could these two be each other's opposites? The fire that is alight between them is fierce but there is so much going on in their heads ,,,, they play games ,,, they speak cruelly ,,, will one push be the push that is too far?

This is a good read and I did enjoy it ,,, I felt for an alpha Declan was very weak when it came to Savannah, she broke him BIGTIME ,,, this move very fast in this book and you might lose track of the timeframe your reading in ,,, there are also a few things brought into the story which you may not feel relevant ,,, until the end of the book ,,, although the main guy in this book is an underground fighter you don't really get to read too much about the fighter world (the pit)

If your looking for a strong connection between two people and a HEA this will be good for you




 
 
Excerpt
“What are you doing?”
“I’m getting your stuff. You’re staying with me.” He says it without pausing, without even looking at me.
I make a surprised choking/laughing sound in the back of my throat and say, “No, I am most certainly not staying with you.” I’m fully grown and have been taking care of myself since I can remember. I don’t need Declan or his handouts. 
Well, except for the job. I need the job.
He sets a laundry basket on the pavement and glances at me. “It’s either that or you make room for me in your car. Your choice.”
My mouth opens, but nothing comes out at first. I think I’m struck stupid. “Why are you doing this?”
He glares at me. “Why am I refusing to leave an attractive girl alone in her car overnight? Gee, I don’t know. I must be some kind of asshole.”
Anger flares in me, and I’m thankful for the familiar emotion. Declan’s got me all mixed up, and I don’t like it. “Point made, asshole, but I’m not some stray cat you can just take in.” 
A smile flirts with his lips as he nods to my pile of stuff. “Get your things, Kitten.”
***
            “You’re really gonna make me stay with you?” I ask, disbelieving. “Even though I don’t want to.”
            “Yep."
            I follow him across the street as he absconds with my things. “Some would consider that kidnapping, you know.”
***
            “My keys are in my pocket. Mind digging ’em out for me?” He shifts the laundry baskets to expose the one closest to me.
            “You want me to stick my hand in your pants and dig around near your crotch? Seriously?”         
            He barks out a laugh and tilts his hip toward me. “C’mon, it’s not gonna bite. I promise.”
            My brow arches as I switch his bag to the other hand. “All right, but don’t come crying to me when your pissed-off hostage punches you in the balls.” 
            Tentatively, I slip my hand inside his pocket, hating the way my heart beats faster just from touching him. I try to tell myself it’s only because I’ve gone two months without sex and being this close to a guy is stirring up old, familiar feelings of lust, but I know that’s not true. It’s Declan who’s making me feel all light-headed and electric.
            A soft laugh threads through the air between us, making the tiny awning seem even smaller. How can a laugh sound sexy? It shouldn’t even be possible.    “Kitten,” he says, his deep voice snaking around that damn word like a caress, making it easier to bear. Shit, I think he could read the phone book to me and I’d be riveted. “I saw the way you were looking at me earlier,” he continues. “I seriously doubt you’d be anything but nice to my balls.”
