DEVIANT
***Warning: Contains strong language, violence and scenes of an explicit nature***
Most fairy tales end with a happily ever after.
This is not a fairy tale. He is not her Prince Charming about to whisk her away into the sunset. This is a story about betrayal, lust, desire and, ultimately, revenge...
And revenge can only lead to one thing.
Tyler
He was my stranger, my visitor, my shadow in the corner of my room. He stalked me, watched me, knew everything about me. But all I could do was sit and wait. I waited for him to visit me night after night. He was becoming my addiction, my craving, my obsession. He knew every inch of me, but I knew nothing about him.
His calls himself Lotus and, as crazy as it sounds, I think I’m falling in love.
Dean
I wanted to take her, possess her, dominate her, and ruin her. I wanted to ravish her, please her, and consume her until I couldn’t take much more of her.
She will want me to kiss her. She will want me to hold her all night so that she feels a connection with me. I would make it so that she would seek me out in the dark. The one that satisfies her ultimate fantasy. A stranger who sneaks into her room. Someone who gives her the ultimate pleasure, but also seeks to give her ultimate pain. Pain she has never had to endure. Pain that will eat away at her until there is nothing left.
She was my nemesis, I was her lotus. And payback was a bitch.
How could anyone move on from a betrayal so devastating, it cut down to the bone and rooted itself deep within? You could never forgive such heartache…
Or could you?
From the moment Tyler was six, she fell in love with that cocky eight-year-old boy with the black spiky hair, captivating blues eyes, and scruffy uniform. From the moment he punched a boy for hurting her, Tyler knew there was no going back. They were always meant to be together...
Always.
Then everything changed. The stage was set like a tragic Shakespearean play, and Tyler’s and Dean’s world—as they knew it—had ended.
Or had it?
Tyler
My name was Jessica now. I faked my own death, changed my identity, and moved thousands of miles across the ocean just to escape the one man I would never get out of my heart. I had a four-year-old son I adored more than anything in the world. On one fateful, horrific night, the life I knew disappeared in the blink of an eye. I left people behind. People I cared about. People I would never forget. People I loved.
But had I truly moved on?
No one said leaving behind the one man you had loved since you were six would be easy. I lived life day-to-day. I even met a man and tried to settle down. Evan was a man any woman would desire. So why could I not love him the way he obviously loved me? Why couldn’t I move past the dark-haired, blue-eyed boy who consumed my every thought? I may have left him, but he had never truly left me.
I could never love another man. Dean made sure of that the day he breezed into my life. I was only half a woman now. I had been broken and bruised by the one man I thought I could always love and trust. How could I let go of something like that? I suppose I just had to. I was just getting by with each day that passed. I was coping. I was managing, and that was keeping me from falling apart.
But then disaster struck again. And it was on that day…
Everything changed.
Dean
You can’t hide forever, Tyler. I will always be hunting you, always be searching, and will never give up. If there was ever one certainty in your life, it was that. You slipped through my fingers, not once but twice. You took my heart with you when you left me that day. No amount of alcohol, women, or punching bags would block you from my mind. You couldn’t be dead. I wouldn’t allow you to be dead. You’re out there somewhere. I must congratulate you that you had evaded me for this long. You always were a smart girl. How could I not have fallen in love with you? You did escape me this time, but I will find you, Tyler. I promise you that. And when that day comes…
I will finally make you MINE.

UNPUTDOWNABLE!
This is my first book by this author and wow, this is a story like no other I've read. I was so sucked in by this book I couldn't think of anything else until I'd finished it. I would describe this book as a dark, twisted, revenge romance, that will have you staying up into the small hours until it's finished.
This story is about a girl called Tyler a who fell hard for her childhood friend Dean. Even though they are young these two know that they are it for each other. Circumstances happen and Dean has to leave town but promises to come back for Tyler but that doesn't happen. Fast forward thirteen years and we see Tyler working as a journalist, she has a stranger who follows her and comes into her apartment but she has never seen this stranger and for some reason does not fear them.
Dean has an agenda, he has no shortage of money or women in his life but something happened to turn this soft natured protector into a revenge fuelled loaner.
This story is raw, dark, and totally captivating right to the end, and the ending WOW. I need more of this amazing story.

Redemption
by Jaimie Roberts
This is the follow up to Deviant.
Thank you Jaimie for giving us a conclusion to Deviant. I devoured the first book and was left wanting more and you totally delivered another fantastic book. Redemption is not as dark as Deviant however, it was just as thrilling and addictive. I thought that it was the perfect ending to Tyler and Dean's story.
Tyler has gone to extremes to get away from the only man she will ever totally love, faking her own death and moving to another country all the while trying to keep a huge secret. She knows hat Dean will never give her up but she feels she has to get away from him to protect her and her family.
Dean is going through the motions but never giving up on his true love, he knows he has made mistakes but he will spend the rest of his days looking for and trying to convince Tyler that they should be together.
Jamie has done it again, hats off to this lady for another fantastic story. I adored these two books, I love this author she has got herself a fan for life.
5 gorgeous rosy stars.
