Excerpt
“Who are you?”
“The new hire.” She swiped the dishrag on top of the worn, brown countertop, and didn’t look like she’d be offering up any more information.
If she knew me in my heyday, that’d never been her response. He raked her form up, down, then up again while he tried to decide if she were old enough to be inside a bar. Her hair was the color of a strong glass of cognac. The sides were short and neat, giving the air of a responsible adult. But the front had an ‘I don’t give a shit’ tousled effect that made him wonder again if she was legal. The style made her oval face more interesting than it really was, but when his gaze flitted over her high cheekbones and past her feline-shaped eyes that were the color of molten pewter, he concluded she was attractive, in a strange sort of way. And he liked the way her pointy chin stuck up in the air with defiance, or maybe it was confidence.
“Are you done eye-fucking me or do you need another minute, old man?” the bartender asked. Her question was matter-of-fact, and didn’t hold a lick of reprimand in it.

“Who are you?”
“The new hire.” She
swiped the dishrag on top of the worn, brown countertop, and didn’t look like

Another Life. Another Place…..
First let me say that this is a novelette it’s a short
read that packs a lot in. When I first read the title I automatically thought
of the movie. You know the one with Denzel in his glory days? But I digress.
(I will like the book flip-flop between the characters
names for the purpose of showing who they were and are and how the two
coincide)
Tony Salvai was an enforcer like any made guy he was
looking for a way to move up. Although very good at what he does a man can’t
knock heads together forever. There is a
shift within the organization he has a way to finally move up in ranks as the
underboss but not without completing one last job. They say there is no honor
among thieves. Tony’s last job puts him to the test what do you do when the
last thing you expected comes back to haunt you?
Red is fiery, feisty and holds no punches. (hence the
name) She is noncommittal and not much bothers her. Tony sees her as a sexy
challenge. These two share a friendly banter that makes you laugh on one hand
and on the other the sexual tension is through the roof. I wanted to say just
do it already! I felt like these characters lacked something. I don’t know if it’s
because it was a short read and I always want more from short reads. One second
they are having a fling, and she disappears and the next moment the tables
turn. I did like in the beginning that is was straight action from the start
and then between the re-introduction of the two main characters the book slowed
down with the day to day conversation. We learn more about her past and how she
is connected to Tony but it was almost glossed over and I thought more details
about how she came about was needed.
Once you get out they pull you back in….
Tony (Ace) he has done somethings in his life he
regrets. No longer willing to be the man he once was Cam escapes but when the
bosses come calling he has no choice.
It started with a picture and then all the chips fell
into place. Red (Cam) can’t let go of those who have wronged her seeking her
revenge she vows to destroy all those who have wronged her. Sometimes plans don’t
fall into place and when they don’t you have to come up with a plan B. I
enjoyed the fact that these two have a shared past that the other doesn’t know
about. But I just didn’t feel the connection between the two. When the secret
came out I was confused. One moment it was a sex scene the next other
characters are appearing and the book is ending way too soon. More connection
was needed for me. Don’t get me wrong the concept was good, editing on point,
but the book needed more details. I just felt like I was reading a bit of a
preview. I hope Allyn considers turning this book into a full length novel
because I know there is more of a story to be told with these great characters.
If you are looking for a quick, suspenseful book don’t hesitate to one click Ricochet. Please don’t judge this book
based on this one review but for yourselves.

Summer 2011
No more
than thirteen years old, a girl in hand-me downs and ill-fitting shoes stomped
down the sidewalk. Everywhere her plain brown eyes landed was brokenness.
The row houses that made up her
run-down neighborhood were broken.
The few cars parked along the curb
belonging to people who used the vehicles as temporary shelters when they
couldn’t afford the rent were broken.
And the neighbors … The neighbors
were the worst. Their entire beings were broken. Their minds crumbled by
choices they were pushed by life to make. Their physical bodies aged before
their time by lack of access to quality food choices. Their psyches irreparably
damaged by parents who were stuck in a generational cycle they didn’t have the
tools to break through.
Broken.
Everyone who lived in this part of
town was broken.
And what did brokenness lead to?
Without a backward glance, she ran
from the home where just weeks prior she had found her parents with their
mouths agape, forearms corded off, and needles sticking from their veins.
She ran from her brokenness.
The teen rounded a corner and slowed
her pace to a cool, unaffected gait before she approached the men who were
huddled together. This was the place, the corner, in Lower Manhattan to get the
best drugs, everybody knew that—addict or not.
The teen gripped the crumbled money
in her pocket, a gift from the police officer who felt the need to check on
what was left of her family from time to time. With a kind smile that reached
his violet eyes, he’d told her to buy something just for her. Maybe he thought
she’d treat herself to some earrings or her favorite ice cream—little kid
stuff—but she had lost her childhood a long, long time ago.
Around her, men and women with
sunken, scabbed-over cheeks became the norm. The little girl stuck out like a
sore thumb but had no intention of remaining an ‘other’ any longer. The euphoric smile on the faces of her
neighbors, her deceased parents, and sibling—she wanted that, even for just a
little while.
“You got anything?” she muttered to
no one in particular.
“You lost, kid?” the young man in
the center of the group asked, snickering to his companions.
“I’m not a kid,” she said with defiance.
Her face rose higher in the air and she squared her thin shoulders. Even with a
mature body, the freckles that littered the bridge of her nose and spread to
the apples of her baby face said otherwise.
To amuse her he said, “Okay. So you’re
no kid.” He peered at her closer. “But hand to God, I swear I’ve seen your face
before.”
He
probably had.
Before their deaths, images of the
girl’s parents’ faces hung in neighborhood stores identifying them as regular
shoplifters. They had been arrested so many times they were on a first-name
basis with their arresting officers.
With her face blazing in
embarrassment, the little girl toed the cracked pavement. “I want your best.”
Her words came out low and stammering. She wasn’t a kid, and she planned to
prove it. “I want the best you have,” she repeated louder then shoved the
formerly crisp bills into his face.
Greed alighted his eyes.
“Yo, man, she’s only a ki—”
“Shut the fuck up,” he yelled at the
sole dissenter. “If it’s green, we take it.” He pocketed the money then looked
around.
“Hey,” she shouted, taking a step
toward him. If he thought he would stiff her, he had another thing coming.
“Relax, kid,” he said with a canny
smile. “I wouldn’t do you dirty when your folks were my biggest customers.” His
evil laugh chilled her though the air was balmy. “Take a walk with my friend
over there.”
The young thug had at least a
hundred pounds on her and towered over her by maybe a foot and half. She tucked
her chin into her shirt and kept her gaze low, following the boy’s sneakered
feet to a nearby abandoned house.
“Stay here.” He looked up and down
the street to ensure they weren’t followed before disappearing behind a door
that was falling off its hinges. Before the girl had a chance to worry, he was
back and shoving a small opaque rectangle in her hand.
Almost too beautiful, the deep
purple petal and green stalk painted on the waxy paper dominated the small
expanse. She giggled at the ornate flower.
“Take Over. Best shit on the
market,” he said before walking away.
Holding the pretty bag against her
heart, she turned and walked in the opposite direction.

Avi has a checkered past she doesn’t trust many with
her secrets let alone her heart. Through her best friend well only friend Anna
she crosses paths with the King of New York Noah Adams. Not used to running in
the same circles Avi dismisses him. I mean really who is he except a gorgeous Adonis
who oozes confidences and makes her heart flutter? But Avi is much more than
meets the eye she has secrets of her own and has issues with abandonment. Noah
is more than confident he can break down those walls Avi has put up brick by
brick if that’s what it would take to have her.
Noah doesn’t like the word no. He doesn’t take it from
his enemies and he won’t put up with it from his woman. Noah is an alpha male
in the true sense of the word the only thing is like many dominant characters
he has some darkness that rules his life. He is in urban terms a street pharmacist/drug
dealer. It’s the only life he knows and because of this life it has made him
the ruthless man he is today. Seemingly from two different worlds Avi and Noah
have more in common than meets the eye. I will say that I love the fact that
Avi made him work for her affection. Although at times she was a little annoying
with the cat and mouse game. I just wanted to tell her, “go to him, let him
help you.” This book has some very “deep” elements to it. It’s more than just a
romance it’s a mystery. You see there is some drug hitting the street a lethal
drug, enemies are working behind the scenes and little Avi is right in the
enemies sights. Will Noah and Avi new found love conquer their enemies of will
Avi run like she has been known to do?
What I loved about this story is that the characters
were multidementional and as readers we get to see the characters grow within
their relationship. Each character has a connection and when you find out what
it is whoa!!! Stay tuned for book 2. If you are looking for a mystery, mixed
with some good old fashioned romance this is the book for you. Please judge
this book for yourselves and not based on this one review.

Where the fuck is that little she-devil?
Zo pointed toward the dance floor, addressing his employer’s unvoiced question. “Under the ball.”
Noah saw her clear as day and dancing way too close with someone who might soon be leaving the club with a limp. He blew out a breath. She knew better than this, yet she still tested the limits set up for her protection.
A restraining hand on Noah’s arm paused him mid-stride. “Boss?”
Noah’s eyes widened at Zo’s hand. Immediately, the younger man’s hand fell away, and he wisely stepped back. Even in the dim light, Noah saw embarrassment tinge Zo’s face.
“I, um. Excuse me, Mister Adams, but I can’t let you go over there,” Zo said, swallowing the fear his boss evoked.
“Let. Me?” Noah pointed at himself and straightened to his impressive six feet and five inches. “And who’s going to stop me?”
