Punk (The StrangeHer Love Series #1)




“No one is ever who you expect them to be. Scratch at the surface and prepare yourself for what you’ll see.”


What do you do when you're an awkward indie and corporate is the most attractive man you've ever met?

Charis is a nonconformist with an eclectic group of friends and a dysfunctional family. As a former child-prodigy, she's wise beyond her years and jaded before her time. Increasingly, she's beginning to question the constant need to sacrifice her beliefs to keep her family and friends afloat.

Enter, Wiley Kenzie. He says all the right things and looks the part of the perfect man for Charis. There's just more than one problem...

Porter Hanson is the typical bad boy, but not the kind that Charis would usually go for. When a celebration ends in near tragedy, Porter and Charis become victims of fate. While drawn together in unexpected ways, their dark pasts haunt them in ways neither anticipated.

Charis was a child prodigy.  At 25, she's done more than most people do in their lifetime.  Invisible to her family, with the help of her childhood friends, she's created games, apps, started charities and has become an up and coming fashion designer. Her life becomes a bit of a whirlwind when she's partnered up with an international fashion house and ends up meeting Porter Hanson, her opposite in every way. She wants to hate him, to avoid him all cost, but she can't help but see he's a lost soul and wants to help.  What happens over the course of the three books in this series was an unexpected surprise.  

Not just a love story between two lost, damaged souls, this story runs the gamut.  There's betrayal, deceit, addiction, plenty of heat  and two stories of massive self discovery.  This is not a quick read.  The storyline is quite complex, however, it is complete.  I was actually quite suprised at this trilogy.  The layering of the storyline and the sociopathic and maniacal tendencies of some of the characters, reminded me quite a bit of another series.  And really, that's a big part of a series like that.  The layering.  Peeling back the layers, finding the truth, getting to the core of each situation and person.  That's really what I liked about it.  When nothing is as it seems, what do you do?  

My favorite character in all of this was Porter.  An incredibly strong individual who has battled more than his fair share of demons becomes the rock for Charis as her world falls apart and loses herself in the process.  I didn't feel he was a typical alpha and was way more than 50 shades of f*cked up.  If you're looking for a light hearted read, this is not one for you, however if you can appreciate the dark, pick this one up!! 4 haunting stars from me!

Shock (The StrangeHer Love Series #2)



”Most won’t believe what they see; their perception is reality”


After suffering a debilitating heartbreak, Charis falls back into her old ways of coping to get through. Wiley, sensing Charis’s mental torment, uses it to his advantage to pursue desires that fall mildly beyond the professional.

A surprising reconnection reignites feelings she thought she’d suppressed. When the unforgivable happens, Charis finds herself turning to the person she’d hurt the most.

With shocking revelations, reappearances, relationship changes, and the occurrence of a life-altering tragedy, the stakes have never been higher...and her love life has never been so turbulent.

 AUTHOR BIO 

Ive been creating my own little world since I was very young. When I was eight years old, I began to bring those worlds to life with pen and paper.

Although Ive had a few short hiatuses, writing has been of passion of mine for many years. I've always viewed my writing as a hobby or a purgative process; I never thought to share my very personal works with anyone outside of my family. Now, Im taking the plunge and self-publishing my works. Im very excited and apprehensive about the opportunity to share my work with people who may enjoy it.

While I write across genres (I find it hard to stick to one genre), I do have an archetype when it comes to the female protagonist they have to have certain brand of strength and layered personalities. There will often be a lot of darkness and depth to my stories, because I'm intrigued by characters who are thrust into "dark" situations that explore their psyche.

I prefer gritty love stories, where the protagonist isn't necessarily the girl next door, or the girl you encounter in everyday life. In other words, I don't tend to write characters who are easy to fall in love with.

The elements that will be common in my stories are: depth, controversy, thought-provoking and complex plots, and misfit characters.
