Cover Reveal Fallen Down Under

"Fallen Down Under" by: S.M. Phillips

Synopsis:

"Fuck." I slam my fist into the desk before me and feel nothing but rage. I need to go after her. I need to explain. "But isn't this what you wanted?" The voice inside my head whispers. "Isn't this a nice easy way out?"

Everything Max has done has always been at a cost to others around him. He wasn't about to make that mistake again. No longer will his selfish ways punish those close to him. Sometimes it's better to have had and lost than to never have had at all.

Finally after what felt like forever, Jess was getting a glimpse of control over her life again and allowed her defences to come crashing down, only to have what it guarded to be crushed once again. Now, on the other side of the world away from her friends, she doesn't know what to do.

Should she stay or should she go?

Is it too late or have they both fallen too far into something that is completely out of their depths?

Meet S.M. Phillips

Welcome to the crazy and hectic life that is me... A fun, loving mum of one special little boy, girlfriend (I'm sure it should be wife by now!!) and an overall crazy, happy go lucky girl from England.

I have always had a passion for reading and writing. Wherever I am, my book reader is never far behind along with a mug of coffee.

I found myself wanting to write from a young age, I have quite a few hidden stories on my computer somewhere, maybe I will have to dig them out and play around with them at some point.

I decided to make the very exciting but also very nerve wracking decision to release my debut 'Escape down under' at the end of 2013 when the ideas in my head got too strong and just wouldn't leave me alone.

Escape down under is now live and Fallen down under is due for release on November 2nd

Stepbrother Dearest Release Day Blitz

Book Summary:

You’re not supposed to want the one who torments you.

When my stepbrother, Elec, came to live with us my senior year, I wasn’t prepared for how much of a jerk he’d be.

I hated that he took it out on me because he didn’t want to be here.

I hated that he brought girls from our high school back to his room.

But what I hated the most was the unwanted way my body reacted to him.

At first, I thought all he had going for him were his rock-hard tattooed abs and chiseled face. Then, things started changing between us, and it all came to a head one night.

Just as quickly as he’d come into my life, he was gone back to California.

It had been years since I’d seen Elec.

When tragedy struck our family, I’d have to face him again.

And holy hell, the teenager who made me crazy was now a man that drove me insane.

I had a feeling my heart was about to get broken again.

Stepbrother Dearest is a standalone novel.

**Contains graphic sexual content and harsh language. It is only appropriate for adult readers age 18+

Special Release Day Deal. Stepbrother Dearest will be on sale for $2.99 reg $3.99 today Only!!!

Now that you are all caught up.

Ladies

Prepaired

This story should come with a warning lable

This story contains alot of swoon and melt your panties moments. Like I stated before we are introduced to Tara in Into the Stars when she thought Caroline was with her then boyfriend. We pick up Tara's story at Caroline's mothers wedding. Tara finally decided that she no longer wants to hide her true feelings for Adam. There is a slight problem with that he's with(but not with) another woman. Can she win Adam over without ruining their friendship in the process or will she be heartbroken all over again.

This story for me has a lot of tender moments with Tara and Adam. I liked how Tara decided not to just throw herself at Adam but by winning him over by being honest and straight forward with him with what she wants. That also goes with Adam also, he is very up front with Tara and lets her know that he's in it for the long haul.

Now where there is sexy there is also funny. There are also moments where I laughed out loud at the banter between Adam and Tara, and Tara and Raleigh. Adam can only be described as a big goof ball, but he's also a devoted brother and uncle to two adorable niece and nephew.

I loved the fact that no matter what Tara's insecurities about her own family Adam was there to comfort and reassure her.

Tara's brother Eric can be a bit overbearing and overprotective when it comes to her(please refer to into the stars review lol) but I overlooked that because he is her older brother after all lol.

Now with all the good comes the bad.. Namely Adam's on again off again booty call Marissa. Marissa is your typical girl who was hoping for something more but didn't get the guy. She in my opinion is a major bitch who was clingy and insecure. You really don't get to read much about her in the book but her presence is there and I can see why Tara was hesitant when she was moving forward with Adam.

I loved Tara and Adam's story and did not want it to end. But I know like Caroline and Eric's story continued with In the Now. I know that Tara and Adam's story will continue with Raleigh's *hint hint* story.

If your looking for swoon worthy men and good humor with some drama mixed in. Then In the Now is for you. I will recommend that you read In the Stars first to get Tara's back story and get to know Caroline, Eric and Raleigh.

In The Fairytale

In The Moments Series Book 3

Releasing December 2014

In every fairytale there's anger, hurt, and love. For Raleigh Jefferson her fairytale is no different.

Since she was a little girl, watching Snow White meet her prince as she frolicked through the forest, the idea of Happily Ever After was embedded in Raleigh's mind. Her heart skipped a beat over the Beast's love for Belle, and she knew she'd swim the ocean to save her black haired prince from drowning, even without a mermaid tail. Destiny and forever. She wouldn't settle for anything less.

She wasn't looking for a man to frolic in the forest for her. If she were to actually witness such a thing she'd probably smack the man for acting a fool. But she did want her own Cinderella story. She wanted to glide down the aisle in her own glass slippers toward the man she loved, the one who returned that love unconditionally.

She never knew how hard this dream of hers would be until she met him. Will the truth of the world around her and the pain that can be carried in someone's heart be too much to handle, or can Raleigh find a way to truly live... In The Fairytale?
