Spotlight Author of Week: C.M. Owens


★•**•★Spotlight Author C.M. Owens★•**•★

What does C.M. Owens write? A little bit of everything as long as the central focus is romance.

C.M. Owens is an escapist, and loves to stretch the imagination. Writing is more than a passion - it's a necessity. It's a means of staying sane and happy.

Where do her ideas come from? Usually it's a line in a song that triggers an idea that spawns into a story. Though she came from a family of musicians, she has zero abilities with instruments, she sounds like a strangled cat when she sings, and her dancing is downright embarrassing. Just ask her two children. Her creativity rests solely in the written word. Her family is grateful that she gave up her quest to become a famous singer.

Hooked on the Game (The Sterling Shore Series #1) is FREE

Everyone has secrets that define them, a past that has shaped them, and a game they play - whether they know it or not. 

Despite the fact they live next door to each other, Kade and Raya have never made an effort to speak, until a wild party, four frat boys, and... a bulldozer. 

Sterling Shore was supposed to be a new start for eighteen-year-old Raya Capperton. Everything was working out perfectly until her two roommates were expelled for a prank, leaving Raya with the house she couldn't afford on her own. Fate intervenes before she has the chance to find a new home, but she struggles to decide if it's divine luck or the devil's cruel sense of humor. 

Twenty-one-year-old Kade Colton has his life planned out, and everything he does is an elaborate game to aid him with his future endeavors. Coming from money has made Kade's life easy, but he wants to build his own name - his own future. The thing he doesn't realize... when you only put forth superficial effort, you only acquire superficial friends. 

Raya is torn between being amused or disturbed by Kade and his philosophy, but the drive behind his determination isn't what Raya expected. Little by little, her hatred fades and is replaced by emotions she never would have believed she could have for the rich jerk she desperately doesn't want to care about. Too bad you can't force yourself not to care. 

The problem is... Kade's shiny name can't be tarnished, and Raya has a jaded tie she can't cut loose. Nothing about them can work, nothing about them makes sense, but nothing can seem to stop them from trying.

Breaking Even (The Sterling Shore Series #5)

What happens when one neighbor pisses off the other? They end up in a brutal prank war, of course. But neither of them expects what happens when they can’t break even. 

Rye Clanton 
I told myself a long time ago that I wouldn’t—couldn’t—fall in love. I’ve seen what happens, the things they don’t tell you in fairytales. But I never saw Brin Waters coming until she had thoroughly invaded my life. Until her, I never laughed, joked, or even knew how to have a good time. Until her, I just existed. If my secrets weren’t so dark… But they are. 

Brin Waters 
How the hell do you go from hating someone to loving them? I don’t know, but Rye Clanton is good at it. However, he’s a walking contradiction that I can’t figure out, an enigma that has stumped me more times than I can count. But he’s the first person that’s ever made me feel alive—free. How do you give something like that up? Is loving him worth the risk of being destroyed?

A Redo (The Sterling Shore Series #6)

Allie Thrash 

Wren Prize is the asshole who got me pregnant seven years ago. And gave me a false name. And walked out of the hotel without a backward glance. Sure, I know I wanted to have sex just as much as he did, but I didn't want to be tossed aside like garbage the second it was done. I also wasn't planning to get pregnant. Now, after seven years of hating the jerk, I'm living in his city, because it's a small world and I found him by accident. Yes, I realize how crazy that must sound, but my luck is just that bad. The problem is, the Wren Prize of today is not the Wren Prize I've envisioned castrating all this time. And I hate that I can't hate him the way he deserves to be hated. In fact, I'm terrified I might just be stupid enough to be falling for him. 

Wren Prize 

A daughter. I have a daughter. And I've missed over six years of her life because I decided to go for the world's biggest jerk award. I'm supposed to be the cool-headed one, the mature one, the one everyone goes to for advice. Yet I'm the one who fucked up the most. Sadly, I don't even remember that night. Too much fun, too much sun, and way too much booze. It's hard to ask for a second chance when you don't even remember the first chance you had. And every time I'm around Allie, even when she's casting me glares that prove she wants me dead, I can't help but wonder what that night was like. Well, what it was like before I ruined her. 





The Curse Trilogy

Destined for one who broke her heart, and in love with one she never thought she could trust. 

Blood defines who a person is and how they're treated in Araya Crush's world. Before she was a powerful hybrid, she was a victim of the vampiric system, one where hybrids are discriminated against and punished for being different, while being groomed to become a weapon if they're among the gifted. It wasn't expected for her to fall in love with a full blood vampire, especially after having her heart smashed by her hybrid counter. Brazen was there to pick up the pieces, and though she hated the full bloods for the torture they put her through, Araya learned Brazen was different. 

Araya distanced herself from Hale, doing her best to never need him or see him again, but fate had other plans. When dark forces arise, the United is forced to gather its best, and she and Hale are among the elite. His love for her hasn't wavered, and he refuses to let her go without a fight. Brazen is just as determined, so Araya becomes the rope in a desperate game of tug of war. 




Blood's Fury (Deadly Beauties #1) 

The deadliest things in life are often the most beautiful... until they strike. 
Alyssa Coldwell decides to put her destiny as an immortal witch to the side, so she can take the chance to live like a normal girl amongst regular humans before she too is part of the fey world. She wants a break from magic and all the dangerous drama that comes with it, but life doesn't always let you do as you please. 
Magic is supposed to be simple - you're either light or dark. But Alyssa is brutally awakened when she learns that life isn't always so simple. There are gray areas, and there is more to being light than simply saying you are. 
But magic isn't her only problem, humans have problems as well. When she meets Kane Ice, she finds herself in a situation she's never been before. She's been sheltered by her overly protective mother, so being with a guy hasn't ever been an easy task. Kane makes it impossible not to try... while she can. Though she knows she'll have to leave him once her body turns immortal, she can't help but fall for him. 
What's the problem with a witch loving a human? So, so many things. Her world is too dangerous, and her attempt to take a break from it fails miserably when her mother is taken captive. With danger always around her, she knows Kane will never be safe. But it's too hard to let him go. 
Kane's not so fragile though, and he refuses to lose the only girl he's ever really cared for. Secrets are a part of Alyssa's life, but she's not the only one with a locked vault full of unspoken truths. When the secrets come out, Alyssa loses all her faith, her will, and her hope. 

Review of Cole (The Ride Series #1) by Megan O'Brien


For eight years I’d been content with my quiet life. I was safe in the bubble I’d built for myself. But I wasn’t really living. 

Until one chance encounter changed it all. 

Scarlet Malone has lived quietly for years hiding from her past. Aside from her best friend Kat she doesn’t allow herself to get close to anyone. Then Cole Jackson, Vice President of The Knights MC comes bursting into her life with his gorgeous eyes and fierce determination to have her in his bed and his life. 

Scarlet’s letting her walls down for the first time in her life. Could Cole really be her happily ever after? 

When Scarlet’s past becomes their present will she run to protect those she loves? Or can she trust in Cole to protect her life and her heart? 

This is the story of Scarlet and Cole. 




Overall Rating:  4.25 Rockin’ ★★★★

In the beginning there was Cole, the Vice President of the Knights MC and the son of the club’s President.  This is the first book in the Ride series by author Megan O'Brien and I was not disappointed at all in my purchase.  This was a welcomed read that made me want to read the next in the series.  It was enjoyable, entertaining and allowed me to escape into the fantasy world created by the author.  Cole and Scarlet butt heads, and fall in love in this dynamic contemporary romance!

Scarlet left California, the only home she knew when her father died and started over in Nevada.  She meets her best friend, Kat there and they became inseparable.  When Scarlet goes to the mechanic shop to pick up her car that's supposed to be ready and finds it's not, her temper explodes. Scarlet’s anger heats up and gets the best of her. She lashes out at the poor mechanic and he takes her dislike of the situation personal.  Cole Jackson quickly realizes he wants more than a one-time chance with Scarlet as he watches the feisty red head give Manny a hard time. He knows he's met his match.  Scarlet doesn't date, she really doesn't date bikers and thus the tit for tat begins between the two! No matter how much she pushes him away, Cole refuses to go.  When an enemy from her past surfaces, Cole steps up and makes his stand to protect Scarlet.

Cole and Scarlet's saga is full of drama, angst, love and eventually, happiness.  The secondary characters support the storyline and interweave in such a way that you can see where the author is taking the series. It is a steady read. Without giving much away, the chase for Cole is worth it when he lands his dream woman.  Needless to say I have already downloaded the next book in this series and can't wait to get started reading Sal’s story!

Excerpt
I am completely overwhelmed. My core is on fire and I want so much to kiss him, to touch him. I feel sparks of electricity shoot through every fiber in my body and every nerve ending is screaming for release. I want his hands on me, all over me.

“Amare?”

I put my hands on his chest and push him away. He’s too close, making it hard to form a single thought. I take two steps to the side to put some distance between us so I can speak like a human, not a lust induced zombie. “Yes, they towed my car and it’s in their lot. I haven’t really spoken to them about it yet. I kind of fell asleep on them…”

His face clouds over and he says, “You kind of fell asleep on them? What. Does. That. Mean?” He pauses between each word and growls them at me.

“Jonas took me to see Doc Jordan and he gave me something for the pain, but because I hadn’t slept in days it made me sleepy. I think he ended up carrying me to their clubhouse.” I realize how all this must sound. If someone told me that exact same story, I would be thinking the worst.

“Did they touch you, Amare?” he growls at me, his eyes blazing with anger.

“No, no, no! In fact, Jonas put a guard on my door so no one would go near me. Not that they would. I was safe, Sal.” Something crosses his face and he stares at me so intently that I look away and stare at the floor.  He moves back into my space and lifts my head up. “Thank you for getting me coffee. Let’s go have breakfast and I’m buying. I think I shall keep you in my sights to make sure nothing else happens to you. I have never met a woman who allows herself to get into so many dangerous situations, in such a short space in time. You, my Amare, are a handful.” He moves away from me and does up his shirt, then grabs his jacket. He opens the door to his room and extends his arm. “Shall we?” he asks, offering me a smile that reveals his dimple. My core clenches again and I have to fight the urge to throw myself at him.

Review of Grim (Tornians #1) by M.K. Eidem

King Grim Vasteri is the strongest, most feared warrior in the Tornian Empire. He has been sent by his Emperor to find and retrieve compatible females for their dying civilization. Lisa is a widowed mother of two little girls who finds herself and her daughters suddenly in high demand. Will the most feared warrior in the Empire keep and protect them? Or will he allow another to claim them?

King Grim Vasteri is the strongest and most feared warrior in the Tornian Empire. He is the King of Luda, blood brother to the Emperor and his line will die with him. He will have no offspring for no female would join with him for once he was scarred he was considered 'unfit'. The Tornian Empire has been dying ever since the great infection caused the birth of females to become a rarity. Since then they have been searching the known universes for compatible females. The Emperor's discovery of a compatible female on a slave ship changed that. He'd ordered Grim to find his Empress' home world so more 'unprotected' females could be obtained, knowing Grim would never be allowed to Join with one.

Lisa Miller is a widowed mother of two little girls, Carly and Miki. Her husband died just a year ago, after a long battle with cancer and she misses him immensely. Friends want her to start dating again but in her heart, she knows there isn't a man on the planet she could love like her Mark. Who could love their girls like their own. Therefore, she'll stay alone.
When Lisa is discovered 'unprotected' at her husband's grave, she wakes on an alien ship heading for an alien world. Refusing to accept this she confronts the large males, demanding she be returned to her children. Seeing his chance to have a female, Grim agrees to accept and protect her offspring, if she agrees to Join with him and only him. Realizing this is the only way she can retrieve her children Lisa agrees and the Tornian Empire changes forever. 



Overall Rating:  3.5 Rockin’ ★★★
 Grim is the first book in the Tornians series by M.K. Eidem.  This science fiction romance is full of action, drama, twists and turns and many, many editorial mistakes. However, it is saved by the overall storyline, and because of that it is worth muddling through for.  I have wanted to read this book since it came out, but shied away because of the reviews.  Don't let that stop you from reading this fabulously, creative love story about Grim and Lisa struggle to navigate two different cultures. Their other worldly love is worth the effort.

Grim is considered an unfit mate because of an attack that left him scarred and deemed unworthy.  In his culture, scars represent a warrior’s inability to defend and protect others as well as himself.  Therefore with the ratio being 200 to 1 with males outnumbering females, you can see why he had expected his life to remain solitary.  Lisa is a widow and has two young daughters.  She is kidnapped by the Tornians from her home planet, Earth. Only when she accepts their leader, Grim's ultimatum to join with him and only him is she able to retrieve her girls.  Their journey is complicated with the cultural differences.  Women are revered almost to a point that in my mind was ridiculous, but necessary for the storyline.  While at the same time males are considered expendable in their culture.  If one dies, another can take his place.  With King Grim having not only one female but three in his household, he is envied by other males in Tornian society.   When the plot to overthrow the current regime begins to unfold, their lives are in peril and decisions must be made.

The story is written at a steady pace and if you can get pass the mistakes, it's truly worth reading.  For me it was a hard read with all the errors. In addition, having paid more than I normally would for a book, it really did not sit well.   At times it seemed rushed and sympathizing with the plight that the characters endured was difficult. Would I read another book by this author? Yes.  The storyline was good and I believe in second chances.

Synopsis


Being someone first love is unforgettable. Being their last is immeasurable.



Claire Peters should be on top of the world. She owns the radio waves and has a budding movie career. But her heart longs to be rooted. Ten years ago, she fled Martha's Vineyard to pursue her dream and to make something of herself. But thereÕs still a void. After a decade of running, she returns to the island hoping to find her happiness with the man sheÕs loved all her life.



When a tragic event shatters Dr. Forrest DesvareauxÕ well-balance world, the VineyardÕs hometown good guy discovers everything in his life is based on lies. Angry and betrayed, he turns to Claire - the one woman who has indelibly marked him.



Is it possible to run back to the person who broke you? Forever linked, Forrest and Claire are an unending continuum. But sheÕs a wildflower and ForrestÕs roots run deep on the Vineyard. Can they accept home is not a place but a feeling?



Tattooed Hearts is book 3 of the MarthaÕs Way series





Excerpt


She knocked on the door and waited. Nothing.



She knocked again, a little firmer this time. Still nothing.



Claire reached in her purse and grabbed her phone. Damn, no freaking signal. Another perk of living on the island. Phone signals were capricious. She turned on her heels to the back of the house where she knew he kept the emergency key, then headed back to the front. The night wind penetrated the wool coat with absurd ease, making her shiver. She drew her shawl around herself more tightly to keep out the cold as she fumbled with the key.



The door slowly creaked open; she stepped inside and was greeted by a muted house, which was not typical of Forrest. She headed down the hall, the click of her heels amplified with each step on the wooden floor. She entered the family room. In here, ESPN always blared in the background. Tonight, there was nothing but an eerie, hollow silence.



A bad feeling slithered up the back of her neck.



She dug in her purse for her phone again. One finger dragged along the screen, it lit up. Still no signal. A knot of fear twisted in her gut.



ÒClaire.Ó



The sound of ForrestÕs voice, infused with a question mark, caused her heart to jump and fill with joy, relief. She whipped around and faced the main reason she came back to MarthaÕs Vineyard.

Have you had the chance to discover and devour the Psy-Changeling world?

In a world that denies emotions, where the ruling Psy punish any sign of desire, Sascha Duncan must conceal the feelings that brand her as flawed. To reveal them would be to sentence herself to the horror of "rehabilitation"--the complete psychic erasure of everything she ever was...

After centuries of uneasy coexistence, these two races are now on the verge of war over the brutal murders of several Changeling women. Lucas is determined to find the Psy killer who butchered his packmate, and Sascha is his ticket into their closely guarded society. But he soon discovers that this ice-cold Psy is very capable of passion--and that the animal in him is fascinated by her. Caught between their conflicting worlds, Lucas and Sascha must remain bound to their identities--or sacrifice everything for a taste of darkest temptation...

my serenity teaser.jpg

Excerpt

When she pulled away to look at me, our eyes locked and thousands of emotions rocketed through me. I felt so much, almost too much for my heart to handle…for my body to control. My hands glided up her back, and the soft silky blouse lured me to rip it off her. Lacing through her hair with my hands, I gave in to the temptation I could no longer control and kissed her in madness. Josie kissed me back and her tongue swirled in hunger. I got hard when she rocked back and forth on me. I thought I could come just from this action alone. I wanted so much of Josie, but not here…not now.
