Tor
My life was everything I wanted it to be. It was mapped out and planned. I wanted it all, the career, the right husband, the white picket fence and kids. Until he was thrust into my world, ripping me from it. My carefully planned life shattered, proving to be nothing more than a cheap illusion, and now I’m living in this twisted form of hell, where enemies and friends are one and the same. I thought I wanted perfection. Now I don’t know what I want - perhaps not even my own freedom.
Jude
I define wrong. I thrive on the corrupted greed of others, on their trivial hope, and their false optimism. I am the bookie, and the bookie always wins. For those whose hopes far outweigh the depths of their pockets, well, let’s just say paying with your life is not just a figure of speech.
I have always been in control, until suddenly I’m not any more. The day one of my collectors dragged her into my office as payment on a debt, I should have killed them both right there, but I didn’t. Now she threatens my control, threatens everything I’ve built, and yet I still can’t kill her. Why can’t I kill her?
By the time I’m done with her, she may pray for death.
Everything is not always as it seems.
Lust, blood, lies…Nothing this wrong should feel so right.
WRONG is angsty perfection at it's finest. Not your typical love story, Wrong is raw, gritty, and dirty. This is not the story of a bed of flowers and love songs, but it IS the story of redemption, sacrifice, love and loss.
Jude is a "businessman" and by businessman, I mean he is basically a bookie and loan shark. Victoria, Tor, is an English doctor who finds her way into his life when her boyfriend (ex) decides to use her as collateral until his debt is paid to Jude. Victoria finds herself in a situation where she has to come to terms with the fact that her boyfriend is not a good guy and her world has just been tilted on it's axis as she is held hostage in exchange for Euan paying his debt.
Jude and Victoria are such an unlikely pairing. Jude is in the center of his world of crime whereas Victoria is intelligent, educated (she's a doctor for goodness sakes!), and sassy. Jude is powerful and has the smarts to survive on the streets, but he never had a choice for his life. He was basically tossed into the life of crime. While on paper it would seem these two would never work and yet the chemistry between these two is magnetic.
I loved the fact that Victoria doesn't take things lying down. She fights for herself and for her life. She has a strength that I never saw coming. The way she attacked grown men without fear showed some balls on this girl. Victoria is stubborn and sassy, but that makes her such an amazing and interesting character.
I also liked the fact that Jude is trapped in this situation where he's attracted to her, but he doesn't want to be because she is a hostage. His mind is going two different directions and he doesn't know what to do. He knows that he cannot free her or kill her so he needs to figure out a plan.
WRONG is full of twists and turns that I never saw coming, but they keep you hanging on for the ride. I loved the angst ridden, yet fascinating plot, the characters, and the writing style. These two authors, LP Lovell and Stevie J. Cole are quite the dynamic duo!
4 STARS!
LP LOVELL
Lauren Lovell is an indie author from England. She suffers from a total lack of brain to mouth filter and is the friend you have to explain before you introduce her to anyone, and apologise for afterwards.
She's a self-confessed shameless pervert, who may be suffering from slight peen envy.
LP Lovell's She Who Dares series are all international best sellers.
STEVIE J. COLE
I love writing (obvious since I'm on here, right?) I don't have a specific genre - I just write whatever story manifests itself inside my brain.
Writing is like therapy. There is nothing else that I can lose myself in the way I can a story. It amazes me that words can take you away from reality and leave you in a dazed state once you've finished.
Aside from writing, I love sloths and mythology. I kind of have a thing for vampires, because let's face it, something about the fact that they fight the urge to bite your neck and drain the life from you is rather sexy. I have an irrational fear of the zombie apocalypse. I honestly cannot imagine a more horrifying way to go than by being ripped to shreds by a mass of mumbling, decaying, and oozing corpses with clicking teeth. Ugh! I just shuddered typing it.
Now the boring basics: I'm married with two wonderful children. I grew up in the south listening to a ton of grunge rock. Me and my sister have an obsession with going to concerts and getting front and center. We often fight over who can get the most swag from the band. I have an unhealthy obsession with Russell Brand's mind, and the smell of crayons is the most soothing smell there is.
I hope if you read my work that you will enjoy it. After all, writing is the most amazing magic trick of all... it puts the reader in the mind of the writer (kind of creepy if you think about it). It's scary inside my brain, watch out!
I hope you love my little worlds as much as I do.
