    "I have just finished reading The Lover From Hell and thought it was amazing. Thanks for putting such a fabulous book out there!"

    "Having not read any of this authors previous books, I started reading without expectation and found I couldn't put it down. A terrifying and sexually charged pursuit of obsession, desire and delusion. Packed full of spine tingling suspense that kept me gripped till the very last word... Now I want more!"

    "Just finished reading The Lover from Hell...loved the book and really hope that there is a sequel in the pipeline."

    "I picked this book up, having previously never heard of the author. Anyway, as soon as I started the book I was hooked. The main character, Angel, is seriously disturbed! The author does a fantastic job of creating Angel. The reader almost feels sorry for her at the end...almost! She is a woman on a mission, and nothing will stand in her way....including the family cat! (As a cat lover, I was quite disturbed by this scene!) I loved this book and am hoping that the author has much more coming out soon."

    BOOK DESCRIPTION

    Move over Stephen King and Dean Koontz...this spine-chilling suspense thriller will keep you gripped from the first page to the last:
    When love turns to obsession, murder and mayhem is not far behind...

    For widower Jack Soul, a chance meeting with a beautiful and exotic redhead dancer seems like a chance for a new start...a new life, a new love. But he soon discovers that there is much more to Angel Heart than stunning looks and an insatiable sexual appetite. When she decides that he is The One - the man she is destined to love for ever - his fate becomes inextricably and devastatingly entwined with hers.

    Jack learns she not only has a secret life that will shock him to the core, but that her actions are driven by a dark past that shapes a twisted future. Soon he finds himself on a dangerous path where death and desire intersect, and where his very life depends on his ability to deal with terrors beyond his worst nightmares...

  2. Katrina,

    My latest novel, Valerie's Retreat, is now available from Amazon on Kindle, and I would like to invite you (if you love romantic thrillers) to read and review this novel. Here is a blurb:

    Valerie, a 40-ish Head Teller at a bank, has met Franco, 16 years younger and studying for a doctorate in archaeology. He is stunned yet eager to begin a relationship with this attractive "cougar", and they become lovers. Their lives begin to unravel when Valerie's female bisexual boss makes advances (and threats) toward Valerie and Franco is accused of the theft of an Incan artifact from a museum where he has been working part-time. Frustrated, under surveillance by the FBI, and seeing no way out of their dilemma, they decide to steal money from Valerie's bank and flee the country. They go to Peru to start a new life, but they find there the same type of corruption and threats. How can they escape their nightmares and make their dreams come true?

    If you are interested in reading and reviewing this novel, please email me at rinald47@hotmail.com for a free copy. Don't forget to tell me what format you prefer (.mobi, .pdf, or .doc). I would also be very interested in an author interview and/or giveaway. Thanks!

  3. As a sign of gratitude for how my wife was saved from PCOS & Gastro Disorder, I decided to reach out to those still suffering from this.
    My wife suffered pcos in the year 2013 and it was really tough and heartbreaking for me because she was my everything and the symptoms were terrible, she always complained of heavy menstruation, and she always had difficulty falling asleep . We tried various therapies prescribed by our neurologist but none could cure her. I searched for a cure and I saw a testimony by someone who was cured and so many others with similar body problems, and they left the contact of this doctor who has the cure to pcos . I never imagined polycystic ovary syndrome. has a natural cure not until i contacted him and he assured me my wife will be fine. I got the herbal medication he recommended and my wife used it and in one months time she was fully okay even up till this moment she is so full of life. polycystic ovary syndrome. has a cure and he has herbal cure for Herpes,HIV/Aids,Diabetes,Neuro Disease,Cancer,Back Pain,COPD,Parkinson, and other disease you can visit Dr Itua herbal center website to read more www.drituaherbalcenter.com or email drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com on how to get the medication.
