train wreck 
noun

1. A chaotic or disastrous situation. 
2. An utter catastrophe or mess. 
3. A devastating calamity or source of trouble. 
4. Pepper O’Brien.  

As the daughter of a famed film producer, Pepper O’Brien is Hollywood royalty. 

Also, her life sucks.  

Because, unfortunately for her, the old adage is true: money can’t buy everything—including grace, true love, or the ability to not screw up every single opportunity her life has brought her.  

After her latest disaster, Pepper moves across the country to start over but, as usual, her life has other plans, namely in the form of Derek Cashette, her former teenage crush and now ridiculously handsome friend of her older brother.  

Derek is determined to salvage the train wreck of her life and Pepper’s determined not to let him. Her life is her problem and, dammit, why can’t she be her own hero?  

But sometimes fate has other plans. Or maybe it’s hormones. Especially when her rescuer comes with a killer smile, a chest Thor would be jealous of, and a butt that any girl just wants to—

It was the lipstick that pushed him over the edge. Fire engine red. F*cking kissable.

He reeled her in, silky skin beneath his palms, soft curves against his chest, jasmine and vanilla in his nose.

He leaned down.

“Don’t.” A whisper. A plea.

His mouth was a centimeter from hers and those four letters painted his lips. Moist breath. Hot air. She might as well already be kissing him for how effectively that puff owned him.

“I shouldn’t,” he agreed.

“You shouldn’t.” Another breath, another chink in what was fast-becoming a non-existent resistance to Pepper.

“I want—”

“No.”

Those emerald eyes were brimming with heat, her skin was flushed, her body pressing against his.

But she’d said no.

And so he released her.

Pepper’s eyes slid closed, shuttering that warmth, and she released a shaky breath. “I can’t, Derek.”

His body was on fire, but he nodded.

Eyes opened, sadness in place of desire. The swap was a punch to the gut. “I could never be what you need.”

Gripping the shoes in one hand, Pepper turned and ran barefoot down the beach.

She was gone so fast that she couldn’t have heard him when he said, “I just need you to be you.”




Aside from writing bestselling romances, Elise's passions are chocolate, Star Wars, and hockey (the order depending on the day and how well her team, the Sharks, are playing).
She and her husband also play as much hockey as they can squeeze into their schedules, so much so that their typical date night is spent on the ice.
Elise is the mom to two exuberant boys and is thoroughly addicted to Dancing with the Stars.

Reviews of Haven by Karen Lynch

Haven (Relentless Series Book 5) by Karen Lynch



Things are going well for Roland Greene. High school is behind him, he has a sweet new ride, a good job, and he’s making plans for his future. At eighteen, he’s one of the strongest werewolves in his pack, and he already has more vampire kills than most wolves have in a lifetime. Life is good. Almost.


It’s time for the annual pack gathering. Wolves from all over Maine come to take care of pack business and socialize – and to find mates. Everywhere Roland turns there are unmated females, and as the Alpha’s nephew, he’s prime mate material. The last thing he wants right now is a mate, and he’ll do all he can to stay a free wolf.

Until he meets her.

Pam's Review

I'm a huge fan of the Relentless series, I've re read the first 4 books countless times and I never tire of the story or the world the books are set in. I couldn't wait to get my hands on Roland's story because I've always loved him and Peter, I'm also a total sucker for werewolves and in a market were werewolf books are a dime a dozen I was intrigued to see what Karen's take on it would be. This book is everything I hoped it would be, it is different from the previous books, it's definitely more of a love story than the action packed thrill ride of the others but there is still lots of depth to the plot and I was gripped by the story. The Pack are wonderful and all the new characters we get to meet are just perfectly written, and I loved getting to know Maxwell, Brendan, Francis and a few others better, everything about how Karen has written their lives is how I image a werewolf pack to be....it's totally believable! She's definitely created a world in its own right separate from Sara's world and I'm really hoping Karen considers writing more books set in the Pack in the future....there is a certain rather grumpy werewolf I'd love to have his own book!!

There are lots of cameos in this book from other characters in the series which works brilliantly at giving us a little tease as to what they are all up to. This book is a dual POV story which is a new element to the series, I think Karen has totally nailed it....Roland is funny, charming, warm, thoughtful, and most importantly he doesn't know everything, he gets things wrong and he's still trying to figure out who he is....like most young adults. I'm not saying anything about 'the girl' because I want you to be as surprised and excited as I was!

One of the most enjoyable aspects of this book has been the return to New Hastings and The Knolls, although only Relentless was actually set here Karen did such a phenomenal job with the world building that I felt I knew every detail about this place! Reading this book and returning to this town gave me serious warm and fuzzy feelings lol, I want to live here!! I've only ever felt this connected to the place in a story once before, Hogwarts, were the place becomes it's own character, it's truly magical writing!! I want to walk on the wharfs, drink coffee in The Hub, have lunch in the diner and paint in Sara's apartment....who wants to join me?

This is another 5 star book from Karen, I wish I could give it a million stars! Well done Karen πŸ˜€❤️πŸ“š

Jem's review 

I think like many others I'm a massive Karen Lynch fan. Her Relentless series is just something magical. It's one of those series that I can just read over and over again and never get bored of. So overall that makes for some pretty high expectations that Karen Lynch had from everyone when it came to writing Haven. But you know what, she's more than lived up to those expectations and has bought us another magical experience.

Now, for anyone going into this book expecting another Sara & Nikolas story ram packed full of action and adventure, well stop right there! This is Roland's story and he has a different one to tell.

For me, this book is a much more emotional tale. It's a story of growing up, finding who you are and where your place is in this world. It's also a tale of forgiveness, hope and new beginnings. I found the title of this book, Haven, to be very apt for the situations and actions in this book. However, all of this doesn't mean to say that there was no suspense and or action in this book as there most definitely was. At certain points the suspense of not know where the story was going next and what would happen had me gripping my kindle so tight I was afraid I was going to break it!

I loved that we got to revisit New Hastings. There is just something about the way Karen describes the place that it just makes me want to pack up my bags and go move there straight away. This time around we got to see more of the place than we did with Sara's books. We also got to see more of the Knolls, which seeing as this is Roland's book shouldn't really be a surprise, and I loved it. Karen's world building in her books is just sublime. She doesn't go into too much detail, but she makes you feel as though you are there when reading. She made me feel like I was home, and for an author to do something like that is quite rare.

Now to the characters, I'm not going to spoil anything for you by telling you who the love interest is in this book as that's for you to discover yourself. But, I will tell you that this book is written from dual point of views, so you get to see both of their thoughts and feelings. We see quite a few familiar faces in this book who were in the first Relentless book and I enjoyed getting to know more of them and see then from a different perspective and view than Sara's. We also had a few cameos of our favourite characters in this book which gave a warning feeling like you were welcoming back old friends. There were also some laugh out loud moments from these said cameos, and other moments in the book. Roland has grown and changed a great deal from when we first me him at the beginning. I was never a great Roland fan to start off with, however as the series progressed I grew to like him. In Haven, he really has come in to his own. He no longer wants to be the life and soul of the party with a different girl on his arm each night. He's looking towards his future and he's thinking about what is right before running off or making decisions. I found myself several times forgetting that he's only 18 not 28! Roland is a character that I've grown to love and Haven really was him becoming who he's meant to be.

Overall this book is a guaranteed five stars from me. This is a must read book of the year and one that I think every fan of the Relentless series needs to read. I'll admit that I'm not a big werewolf fan! Of all the shifters, werewolves are my least favourite (with dragons being my top shifters) however I didn't let that put me off picking up this book, because come on, it's Karen Lynch and why wouldn't I want to read anything she's written! I don't think the werewolf theme was overdone in this book at all and as I got further into the story I almost found myself forgetting they were werewolves. So don't let that put you off picking up this book. Trust me when I say this is one of those books you don't want to miss. But also trust me when I say to have a pack of tissues handy whilst reading as you'll be crying tears of joy and sadness. Now go ahead and read this book and step back into the magical world that the genius Karen Lynch has created.

Jem's review


Ok, I'll admit that I am a humongous Ednah Walters fan and have loved every single thing that she has written so far. Storm however is something completely different from her previous books so I will admit that I was a bit apprehensive at first when I heard pirates mentioned. Yes, I enjoyed Pirates of the Caribbean but reading about them is completely different to watching a movie on the screen and I have never really been drawn to picking up a pirate book before.


Oh, how Ednah Walters has completely thrown my thoughts on that straight into the water. Storm has stamped all over my original thoughts of pirate books and shown me how wrong I was! Storm swept me right up into it's clutches and had me consuming the book in one sitting. I loved it, no I floved it. I don't think I can wax lyrical enough about how much I enjoyed this book. After I put it down I went back and re read it all over again. The characters are just so well built and put together that they feel real. The world building is amazing, I mean I felt like I could smell the salty sea air at times and that I was in that ship's cabin right along with Lexi, feeling all that she was feeling.

I love that Ednah hasn't shown Lexi, the main female character, to suddenly be falling happily into place with the sudden changes she experiences in this book. Ednah shows that she's scared of what's happening around her and makes her feelings and apprehension of the new strange world real to us, and I think that's what made me enjoy this book even more because it felt realistic.

Now Storm is a serial, which means that this book is a little shorter than you may be expecting and that it may feel like it ends sooner than you thought, however essentially it's just a massive book that's been split into three separate books. I know that these books will also be relΓΎeased in quite quick succession so that shouldn't really take away any of your enjoyment from what is an amazing read.

This part of the serial gets the full five stars from me (and if I could give it more then I would). I really enjoyed reading this book and can't wait to get my grabby little hands on book two. A tremendous job has been done with this book by Ednah Walters and I congratulate you in changing my mind on pirates, thank you

Review (~V)

Perfect ending to a perfect series. There were absolute gigglesnort-worthy moments as well as emotional, gut-wrenching ones. It gave me everything I wanted and more. It has left me feeling pretty teary and considering I pretty much have a heart of stone then this is some doing. Loved it. Abso-freaking-lutely floved it πŸ˜­πŸ’•πŸ˜πŸ˜₯😍
