I'm stepping off a nine hour flight when it happens. A white van. A dark hood. Every woman's worst nightmare. Now I'm trapped in an abandoned church. The man who took me says I won't be hurt. The man in the cell next to me says that's a lie. I'll fight with every ounce of strength, but there are secrets in these walls. I'll need every single one of them to survive.

DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH is a new dark romance from New York Times bestselling author Skye Warren. Finding yourself has never been so dangerous....


I really enjoyed Holly and Elijah. There is a lot of history between these two characters. Their love story started out years before and Holly really is everything to Elijah. The way the author brings these two back together is dark, but it works very well for them. Through actions, the reader is able to connect to the characters. There are several moments of WTF, yet it works. The love story intertwined with the suspense and darkness was prefect and kept the pacing fast. I liked the descriptions, which made me really feel for Holly. The author really uses Holly as an author speak to who she is and it's something I am looking forward to as this story continues.

Getting Back To It

I, like the rest of the world, have disappeared. Really, I just couldn't deal with all the news and had a hard time escaping into a book. So instead, I escaped into a video game. Being a Dark Elf and battling a world of monsters was a much nicer place to be. In fact, just fishing and enjoying the scenery was nice and relaxing.

But, I did finally find my feet and found some books to read that pulled me into the pages and didn't want to let me go. I dread across the board. Fantasy, romance, some other genre that I don't want to go look up and it was fantastic.

I was off work for a bit and got gaming and reading done. I mean what else was there to do? So many things were on a list and yet I looked at it and shrugged. When life gets back to normal, then maybe I'll revisit the list. Granted I got to break out my sewing skills and made a few masks for myself. Now, I'm stylish. But alas no book related fabric has fallen into my lap. Tea cups and coffee beans on the other hand have been great.

But I will be talking books again. I have several to post about and review. I'll need to make a list or something. But I'm super excited to be back to it.
