Romantic Suspense REASONABLE DOUBTS, by Kyra Lennon IS BACK!

Blurb:

Darcy Ryan is a woman on a mission. A mission to take down the corrupt cops who ensured her best friend, Matteo Torres, went to jail for a crime he didn’t commit.

Darcy is willing to do just about anything to prove his innocence, including getting up close and personal with lead detective, Finn Drake.

She knows she’s playing a dangerous game, but it gets more dangerous than she could have ever imagined when she discovers everything she thought she knew about Rebecca Torres was wrong, and Finn Drake isn’t the man she thought he was either.

Darcy’s life and her best friend’s freedom are on the line. With her entire world turned on its head and time running out, she has to decide. Should she take a chance on Drake and go against her gut instincts, or go it alone and pray she can find the killer before he finds her?

Reviews:

"I didn't think that so much plot with it's many twists and turns could be put into a story of this size but Kyra Lennon has done a brilliant job of making so much fit into this brilliant little book."
- Clare (Clare and Lou's Mad About Books)

"The writing is fast-paced as is the desire to keep turning the page to find out what is about to happen or unravel. A definite winner in the romance/thriller genre."

Blurb:

Megan Green has her whole life figured out. She’s six months away from graduating uni, then she plans on backpacking around Europe for a year, before following her dream of becoming an interior designer.

What she doesn’t account for is meeting local MMA fighter Kian Murphy.

With his athletic body and Irish charm, Kian has no trouble scoring with the ladies, and one night is all he’s after.

But All It Takes is one night to change the rest of their lives.

After a chance meeting and passionate encounter, Megan finds herself pregnant with Kian’s child. But with a womanizing reputation, and a temper that often leads him into trouble, Kian is hardly boyfriend material, let alone father material.

Now Megan and Kian must work out if they have All It Takes to turn their one-night-stand into a relationship that will connect them for a life-time.

All It Takes is a dual-POV, new-adult, contemporary-romance about responsibility, love and discovering who you are in life.

NaNoWrimo 2019

I did start my own mini-NaNoWriMo back in September. I managed about 10k, before life and such got in the way, so I want to give it another crack for the official NaNoWriMo. Only with a different story. I do like the story I started in September, but I like this story more, and I'm hoping to be able to complete it in November. Fingers crossed.

Be sure to follow me on the NaNoWriMo site and/or social media for updates.

Here's the blurb.

BLURB

He’s too young. She’s too damaged. But since when has love played by the rules?

Evie

From the outside, it looks like I’ve got my life together. A place to live and a successful business sure can hide a lot, namely the scars that remain from everything I’ve lost.

The truth? I’m a shattered heart bundled up in a walking shell of anxiety.

Until him.

Ash

Abuse comes in many forms, but who would believe me if I told them I was suffering at the hands of the woman I love? I know I need to get out, but I just don’t have the strength.

Until her.

When two broken souls collide, can they help heal each other, or will their jagged edges only serve to make their wounds deeper? When all they’ve ever known is pain, will they finally find peace in a love so unintended?

Clare's Review

I love Kyra Lennon's books. I've been a fan of hers since before she published Game On, back when we were both newbie authors, beta reading for each other. In recent years, Kyra has really stepped up her writing game, and her Chaos and Consent series exemplifies this. Given how awesome, and heart-wrenching that series was, I should have been prepared for her latest offering, Unintended... I wasn't, and I was left pleasantly stunned.

Unintended is the story of two lost souls, Evie and Ash, who find each other at difficult moments in their life, and through their friendship, they start to heal from their past traumas.

That alone should tell you how heartbreaking this story is. Unintended deals with some tough topics, and Kyra does it with beauty and grace. The words flow, from her heart onto the page, and make you believe every emotion Evie and Ash go through.

Kyra holds nothing back when exploring the traumas Evie and Ash go through, and it's written in such a way that you feel like it's two people telling you their life stories, not just a book. Kyra has always had the fantastic ability to make her characters seem very real, and that shines through in this story. Your heart will ache and you will shed tears for what Evie and Ash go through.

Of course, it's not all doom and gloom, there are some genuinely funny moments, and an example of strong female friendship between Evie and her BFF Keely. The secondary characters surrounding Evie and Ash really add depth to the story, and bring it alive, adding an extra level of realism.

In true Kyra style, there are some twists you won't see coming, and even up to the very last chapter, you're left guessing how this story is going to end.

If I could, I would give this book more than 5-Stars. It deserves all the stars in the world, and I hope the world loves it as much as I did. Each time Kyra releases a book, I fast becomes my favourite read of the year, and Unintended is no different. This story is amazing!

NaNoWriMo 2019 | Only It's September

I recently got inspired to write a new contemporary romance, and I was planning on starting Sept. 2 as the kids are back in school/ college.

When I realised September has 30 days, like November, I started thinking about doing my own version of NaNoWriMo, and it works out quite nicely as I currently don't have any ghost-writing projects, but I hopefully will have by September.

In the name of staying sane, I'm only writing for 20 day, which will be Monday - Friday from September 2 - 27, with a word-count goal of 35,000. That's 1750 words per day, which is a little over the usual NaNo target, but it's what I've planned out for chapter length of my new WIP. If I complete Sept. NaNo, I should be halfway through my WIP by the end of the month. Then I can look at my workflow and decide when it's best to complete the story.

As mentioned above, I will be working on a new contemporary romance (if you're curious about my full reasoning and status of my other projects, head over to my website), and at the same time posting updates for #WIPJoy on my social medias.

Here's the blurb for the new project *subject to change as the story develops.*

When Jessica Logan returns to her hometown after being exiled ten-years previously, her hopes are to reconcile with her estranged parents, introduce them to her daughter, Lily, and build a better life for herself and her little girl.

What she doesn’t count on is reuniting with high school best friend Erik Jansen.

Erik is also returning home, hoping to heal from discovering his long-term girlfriend has been married for the duration of their relationship.

The two friends soon pick up where they left off when teens, but when Erik unexpectedly kisses Jessica, it throws her life into confusion. She didn’t come home to find love, and certainly not with her best friend. How can she give herself to someone when ninety percent of her life is such a mess?

Matters are made worse when Jessica’s baby daddy, who was previously uninterested in having a relationship with his daughter, arrives on the scene and starts throwing his weight around.

All Jessica wants is a quite life, but when Erik’s ex also arrives in town, claiming she’s divorcing her husband and wants to make a go of things with Erik, Jessica has to act, or risk losing the man she’s started to fall for.
