Author: Lila Rose

Genre: NA Paranormal Romance 

Cover Designer: Wrapped Pages

Editor: Hot Tree Editing 

Release Date: March 29th

Mothers were supposed to love unconditionally. Mine didn't. In fact, she tried to kill me on my thirteenth birthday, when she saw just how different I was. My dad saved my life that night. He also took her away on an extended vacation, leaving me with an ever-absent uncle. 

Five years later, solitude was something I lived by. I had to because I was different and people tended not to cope well with the unusual. In fact, they hated me for it, were even scared of me because of it.

I thought I was meant to live alone, until Isaac Grey took notice of me. He changed my life, taught me I wasn't the only one who was different, and I didn't need to be alone. 

But with love comes sacrifice and then pain. Could I ever escape living in the dark?

REVIEW

Synopsis

Living a lie, Matthew ‘Mattie’ Alexander is exhausted. It’s not easy to keep up the pretence, the deceit, but it’s safer. Coming out to a world who so easily hate takes a courage he’s yet to find, so he pretends – pretends to be into women – pretends to love being a part of the university’s football team. It keeps him safe, hidden.

Until he meets Julian.

From the moment they first meet, Mattie knows life is about to change. He’s yet to determine if it is for the better or worse.

Living life through laughter, Julian is lonely. Without the jokes, the humour, he would be living on the edge of depression. Succumbing to his controlling father’s demands, Julian finds no joy in the path laid out before him.

Until he meets Mattie.

As soon as they cross paths, Mattie has the power to drive Julian’s man parts crazy with lust. But can lust be enough to help Mattie out of the closet, and guide Julian into a happier place?

Limits will be pushed. Rules will be broken. But it’s only together, that they will have the strength to overpower fear, fear of themselves and fear of others. Just how far are they willing to go in the aim of coming out?

I first have to admit that Lila Rose broke my M/M Cherry!!! And I'm sort of glad that it was Mattie and Julian's story that broke it. LOL

We first met Mattie and Julian in the first book of the Hawks M.C Series, Holding Out.
With each passing book, these two characters, especially Julian have forged a very special part in my heart. To be honest, his place in my literary heart was forged in Black Out, when his protective manner over Clarissa was taken to the next level when he shot her sister. For the loyal, fun-loving, Julian that was extreme and it made me wonder what horrors in his life had triggered that.

Well if you've wondered the same thing, the be sure to read Coming Out, it answers so many questions and will leave you wanting to wrap your arms around Julian and tell him he's not alone, that everything is going to be okay!!! The pain he endures at the hands of his family and the public in general is just plain wrong!!!

Mattie is strong, even stronger then he's come across in the first 4 books he's been featured. I felt for him, trying to keep his sexuality a secret must've been exhausting mentally and emotionally and I was so very happy when he came out. He really is a very special character!!!

Overall this was another amazing book by Lila Rose.
It had me in stitches from laughing at Julians antics.

It had me in tears. (Keep tissues handy)

It had me so very angry that I wanted to get up and kick some serious butt.

It left me reflective on many things. We as a society can be so close minded on lots of things especially homosexuality, that we fail to realize just how hard it is on these young men who feel this way, but are ashamed of what they're feeling because to most of society its wrong. We as people should love other for who they truely are, not for who or what we want them to be.
The world needs more Julian's :)

Thank you Lila Rose for another amazing book, and for opening up my love of reading into another genre.
For allowing us a glimpse into the before life of Julian and Mattie. Can't wait for more Julian and co :)

**** awesome stars

At twenty-four, Clarinda James has lived a traumatic life. One of the last images she saw before losing her sight was that of her parents' death. The nightmares of that time still haunt her every night.  Taken in at nineteen by her sister, Clary didn’t know there was going to be a price to pay, a price far greater than her blindness. It’s not until Blue walks into her life, she realises it’s possible to experience the joy of warmth. In her darkness, Blue will become her beacon, her guide. Little does she know that she’ll need to count on Blue more than she thought she would. 

She has to…if she wants to stay alive. 

Blue Skies is on the lookout for a woman. Always there to support his brothers, Talon and Griz, he’s not a stranger to the craziness of love or life. Nor is he a stranger to making it clear that comments surrounding his name are out of bounds. Despite the often effed-up situations his brothers find themselves in as a result of their women, he’s more than happy to settle down when he finds his missing piece. 

After three weeks of seeing a gorgeous redhead in a café, he refuses to let the opportunity pass him by. Building a tentative relationship with Clary is no easy task; she’s damaged. It’s not until he discovers the truth behind her darkness that he willing lays claim to her. He is determined to protect her, no matter the cost. She is irrefutably his.

About the Author

I was born in Brisbane Australia, my step-dad was in the Army which caused us to move around a lot. We finally settled in country Victoria, Australia. I am the youngest of four children and I can say that I was spoilt a bit. I drove my mum crazy when I refused to eat meat at a young age.

      Now I live with my husband and two children, and I find myself regretting all the troubles I put my parents through because my monsters are just as picky as I was.

      I started writing in 2013 and self-published the first of the Hawks MC Club series Holding Out. The next to follow was something different, I wrote Senseless Attraction, a YA novel. Soon, I was back to the Hawks series with number two Climbing Out. I have more to write in the series, but there will be also be more novels in the humorous erotica genre, like Left to Chance.

SPOTLIGHT - BIKER/M.C WEEK

 

Another one of my absolute favourite MC authors and an Australian one to.  What I love about this series is that is serious but funny at the same time to.  The book leaves your with stitches from laughing so hard, while requires some tissues for those serious moments.  If you havent read the series, let me introduce you to it.

Book 1

Talon and Zara

Deanna and Griz

Lila Rose has moved about Australia a lot of her life. Now she lives in country Victoria Australia with her husband and two children. When she isn't writing she's helping her husband with the family business. Lila has always dabbled in writing, though, only recently her debut novel Holding Out was released on December 4th 2013.

Be sure to keep an eye out for more from the Hawks Motorcycle Club series, coming soon!

Lila also has her first YA novel Senseless Attraction out now.

So I had the extreme pleasure of sitting down with some of the characters in the Hawk MC Series and asking them a few questions. Talon, Griz and Blue were extremely intimidating, but then I'm extremely easy to intimidate lol. Was probably because I was in awe of actually having this opportunity!!

I did the interview in two sessions, as I thought it would go smoother then having a huge group around!! And you know how Talon and Zee get, we'd never get anywhere lol

So Round 1: Talon, Griz, Blue, and Matt

B&F: Talon, How is the Hawks MC different from others??

Talon: I've got it clean, I was sick of the shit it was dealing with when my uncle had it. Not only was it unsafe for my brothers, but our families too and yet we still have crap we have to deal with because we're a part of a MC. Still, I wouldn't have it any other fuckin' way.

B&F: Griz,  What's it like being Talon's right hand man?

Griz: Fine, I wouldn't want it any other way.

B&F: Talon, Your first thought when you first saw Zara?

Talon: Fuck, I want in her.

B&F:  Blue, you didnt respect Talon's decision when he claimed Zara, is everything good between you two now?

Blue: (laughs) Yeah course, once Talon knew I didn't stand a chance, but I had to give it a try, damn who wouldn't when it comes to Wildcat.

B&F: Talon, things have been hectic the past few months - kidnappings, weddings, babies. Would you have done anything differently?

Talon: Christ no. Well, except I wouldn't have let Zara outta my sight and then she wouldn't have gone through what she had...the outcome now though is fuckin' brilliant.

B&F: Griz, your thoughts on Deanna? Meeting, hooking up, her falling in love with your little girl?

Griz: First thought, why in the hell would she be interested in me. Next thought, damn she's hot. Now, glad I've claimed her and she is the way she is, someone for our girl to look up to.

B&F: Blue, First Talon, then Griz do you think you'll ever meet the one?

Blue: (shrugs) When the time comes I guess.

B&F: Matt, Are you glad you went looking for your sister?

Matt: Yes, I missed her a lot when she moved.

B&F: Talon, Griz, Blue - drama filled days or quite ones

(they all laugh) Talon: Both. Griz: Yeah, the woman bring us drama anyway. Blue: I agree, both.

Round 2: Zara, Deanna, Julian

Making it through the interviewing round with the boys, I thought some girl time would go down quite well and off course Julian counts are one of the girls.

B&F: Zara: Your first impression of Talon?

Zara: (smiles) Oh my God, I'd dies and gone to bad-boy heaven.

B&F: Deanna: The first thing that popped into your head when you first met Griz?

Deanna: Damn, I wouldn't mind riding that.

B&F: Zara: Whats being married to Talon like? and how are your twins

Zara: (giggles) Good, he keeps me satisfied in everyday (winks) Know what I mean? And out babies are gorgeous, tiring but wonderful and Talon believe it or not helps out a heap. It also helps that I have my family around me as well.

B&F: Deanna: Are you surprised that you and Griz finally got together?

Deanna: (pfft) No we eye fucked each other enough, it was bound to happen.

B&F: Julian: Any new gossip you can share with us?

Julian: (leans forward, looks left to right and whispers) I will to you one thing my little lamb chop, soon things will be going down. Deanna, me and Zara are going to butt our noses in where they don't belong. (leans back in the chair) But it'll all be for the better of course. Let's just hope no one gets shot at this time and the hot hunks of Hawks don't find out.

A huge thank you to Lila Rose for being apart of Biker/M.C Week and for allowing me a few minutes with her incredible cast of characters!!
