Release Blitz - Empathy Series Box Set by Ker Dukey

Amazon reviewers have been raving about this bestselling series.

**Now for the first time B&N and iBook users can see what kindle users have been saying is "one of the best mind f*ucks you'll ever read!"**

The box set is specially priced at 99¢/99p for release week ONLY.

This is the entire Empathy series including, Empathy, Desolate, Vacant and Deadly.

What I love about Ker Dukey's books is the way they send your mind into a total spin and what you think is happening is the total opposite of what actually happens and believe me these books are no different. Each book gets a massive 5 stars from me they just seem to get darker and more gripping as you read, you definitely won't want to put them down until you reach the end.

Empathy

In this book we meet brothers Blake and Ryan, but the definitely don't have a typical brotherly relationship, they've had a hard life growing up and now in their adult years are both hiding dark secrets about their lives.

Melody is a beautiful young woman with loving parents and the world at her feet, then tragedy strike and in the blink of an eye everything is ripped away from her. Over time secrets and lies are revealed that will have major repercussions for them all.

Desolate

This is Ryan's book and is written 18 years later than Empathy.

Ryan has such a dark and twisted soul and also knows the art of manipulation to get his own way. How will Blake react to Ryan's reappearance especially has it puts the 2 people he loves the most in the world, his wife and daughter in danger.

Vacant

This is a short novella in the series and centers mainly on Cereus and Ryan's relationship.

in Desolate we saw there bond instantly not in a sexual way but in the way their minds seemed to work, Cereus seemed to hold the same sort of dark desires that Ryan had but would she feel the need to act on them and how will Blake handle it if his daughter is just like his brother.

Deadly

The final part of the series. Cereus is completely out of control with her dark desires and not even Ryan can stop her acting on them but has she gone to far this time will anyone be able to help her. Will Blake's marriage survive when Melody discovers the truth about the life their daughter has really been living and the fact that he knew everything all along.

I have always had a passion for storytelling, whether it be through lyrics or bed time stories with my sisters. I wanted to be an actress growing up so I could live many roles but I learned early on that my mind was too active… I would want to change the script.I would watch films and think of ways they could have improved the story if they took another direction so i thought it best that i tell my own.

My mum would always have a book in her hand when I was young and passed on her love for reading, inspiring me to venture into writing my own. I tend to have a darker edge to my writing. Not all love stories are made from light, some are created in darkness but are just as powerful and worth telling.

When I’m not lost in the world of characters I love spending time with my family. I’m a mum and that comes first in my life but when I do get down time I love attending music concerts or reading events with my younger sister.

You can find me on Facebook where I love interacting with my readers.

Release Blitz - Salvage by Tiffany Aleman

Excerpt

Karmen stands next to the kitchen table looking at something. In just a towel, I walk past her towards the coffee pot. As I pour my steaming cup of Holy goodness, she says, “Well…I’m just going to come out and say it, okay?”

I turn around, one hand clutches the end of my towel to hold it in place. My eyes find hers over the rim of my coffee cup. I nod as I blow on the steaming liquid. I watch as she focuses in on my lips, so I purposely blow a little harder.

She drops her eyes and looks down at her fingers, concentrating on picking at the red nail polish on her nails. “I want us to be friends not just at work but out of work too,” she blurts out.

At this I laugh.

Her head snaps up and she glares daggers at me from across the few feet separating us. “Is it so funny to think of us being friends?” The sharp tone of her voice tells me she really thinks that I wouldn’t want to be friends with her. I do. But I want more, much more.

“No, Karmen.”

“Then why laugh at me?”

“Well, I kind of already thought we were friends.” I shrug. “And after that kiss, maybe even a little more.”

I watch as her body sags in relief, and hope begins to build that maybe she might want more, too. “Brayden, I already told you we cannot go there.”

“Well seeing as we already did ‘go there,' I don’t see what the problem is. You kissed me, Karmen. I know you felt what I felt in that kiss.” I place my mug on the counter, my coffee is forgotten as I take a step in her direction. My tone drops to one of seduction. Like yesterday, I pull her back under my spell. “You can’t tell me you didn’t feel the fire.” Another step. “The heat.” I drop my voice another octave as I close the distance between us. My face closes in on hers. Instead of claiming her lips like I want, I skim the tip of my nose along her jaw, up her neck in agonizingly slow strokes, before growling in her ear, “The hunger.” I look down, her chest rises and falls in rapid breaths that fan out against my own neck. Blood rages through my veins like an addict getting the first hit of the rush they so much crave. My hand lands on her back. I pull her flush against my body, the towel separates my skin from touching hers. The contact forces an erotic groan past those luscious lips I’m dying to kiss again. “Things could be so good between us. Even now, I can feel the tremble of your body against mine.” I nip at her earlobe and murmur, “The way your heavy breaths hit my neck, I can feel how hard your nipples are. They’re begging to be sucked, right? Do you want me to touch you? Put you out of your misery?” I groan, and she nods her head like the wanton woman she is. Slowly, I glide my hand up along her side, and with the briefest of touches I let my thumb graze across her tight nipple. She whimpers and I add, “You want me and I want you.” Absentmindedly, she nods her head vigorously, and at that moment I know I’ve got her. I pull back to see her eyes closed, her lips slightly parted. “But since you only want to be friends then that’s what we’ll be.”

I know as soon as my words sink in. Karmen’s eyes pop open and she gasps in shock. I tilt my head to the side and stare back at her.

“You’re an ass,” she snaps, flustered.

“Maybe. But I proved my point. We’ll be friends.” I drop my hands from around her waist and step away from her. “I’m giving you what you want. I’m a very giving man.” I grin at her and wink. “You should remember that.” I grip the towel tighter, to keep from reaching out to her. My feet carry me towards my room to get dressed, but her parting words halt my movements.

“That kiss didn’t mean anything,” she says nonchalantly.

I look back at her over my shoulder, and my grin turns into a full-blown smile. “You keep telling yourself that, babe. Your body doesn’t lie. It didn’t lie yesterday when your hands were fisted in my shirt, and it didn’t lie a second ago when you were putty in my hands.”

I don’t give her a chance to refute what I’ve said. We both know I’m right. I’ll play her friends card. But just like a spark eventually becomes a flame, that flame will sooner or later turn into an inferno. I’m betting whatever this is between us will be ablaze in no time.

Nikki's 5 Star Review

This is my first time reading anything my Tiffany Aleman and the abundance of emotions that this book put me through were unreal.

Karmen and Brayden ate both broken souls but for different reasons. During high school Karmen suffered at the hands of bullies and with a mother on drugs and a drunken father her home life was no better. Although Brayden wasn't always active in Karmen's bullying he stood by on the side lines has his friends made Karmen's life an absolute hell feeling his reputation was more important, Brayden had his own demons to contend with been physically abused by his father. After graduation Karmen and Brayden both took different paths, but what happens when their paths lead them back to where it all began. Can Brayden make Karmen see he's a changed man from his high school days, will Karmen find it in herself to forgive Brayden for everything she went through? Are Brayden's demons really in his past or will they ruin any sort of future he and Karmen could have?

5 stars are just not enough for this book in my opinion it just sucked me in from the begining, I'm really hoping its not to long before book 2 is released to see where Brayden and Karmen's story will go.

Every time I looked myself in the mirror, I saw this ugly girl looking at me. Love obviously wasn't a part of my plan anymore. How could it be? But then I met him. And it happened. Suddenly and without a warning. I want him. I crave him. Every fiber of my being yearns for him. He is the one who makes my heart sing, and the one who hunts my dreams at night.

Lacey Cummings is a music journalist and comes from a privileged background the complete opposite of Gunner.
