BLURB
I have been called arrogant. Ruthless. Heartless. I don’t consider those characteristics to be insults. If I am arrogant, ruthless, and heartless, then people cower down. I make my own rules and call all the shots. I suppose that’s why people opt to call me by my last name.

Havoc.

It’s very fitting for me. I wreak havoc on anyone who gets in my way. Right now, that person is a beautiful redhead who refuses to play by my rules. Doesn’t she know I’m the only one who’s allowed to break them?

She came out of nowhere. Hit me a like a freight train. Now, she’s the one causing havoc in my life. Destroying everything I have worked for. Taking pieces of me I wasn’t aware I had to give.

They call me arrogant. Ruthless. Heartless. I guess I’ll have to show her exactly how heartless I can be. What kind of havoc I can wreak on her life.

Before she completely ruins me.

*Heartless Havoc is a friends to lovers/forbidden romance inspired by Stuck-Up Suit.

MY REVIEW
Frankie hasn't had the best luck with men and love. But when she meets a gorgeous man and spends a hot night with him, things seemed like they were looking up. Unfortunately, she still has bad luck because he turned out to be a cold bastard. Sigh...then a re-meeting may give them a second chance. If Havoc (Julian) can prove he will make Frankie his first priority over acquiring yet another hotel chain, over more money. If not, Frankie will be lost to him. She's not another transaction, he cannot just exert his famous control over her and expect her to fall in line with his wishes. Now the question is, will he give up everything for her? Or is the draw of broadening his empire too powerful for him to resist?
Julian Havoc has never had anyone affect him the way Frankie has. She's on his mind constantly, and he's finding himself going out of his way to seek her out. What is going on with him?! All he knows is he has to have her. Yes, he treated her terribly, conveniently left out a hugely important detail about himself when they spent the night together, but it's nothing, just a "business transaction" as he told her. Uh huh. If only he could have his cake and eat it too, or so the saying goes. If only Frankie would just go along with it while he gets what he wants, even if it's not what's best for Frankie. If only he could have the hotel chain he wants AND have Frankie at the same time. If only...
Havoc indeed is heartless, throughout most of his and Frankie's story, and I wanted to smack him a good one (or two or three) for it, but in the end he had redeemed himself and I could see what Frankie saw in him. Before that though, ugh. Frankie was tough, though, and unwilling to settle for less than what she deserved - to be someone's first priority, to be his all. She was definitely my favorite part of Heartless Havoc. Her niece and nephew and sister and brother-in-law were an excellent secondary cast, and the chemistry between her and Havoc was hot. Altogether, a great addition to the Cocky Hero Club.

AUTHOR BIO
I am a happily married mother of three (two boys and one girl). I live in a very small town in Alabama. Never lived anywhere else. I’ve been writing since my early twenties, but I couldn’t seem to finish a book. I’ve started self-publishing with the encouragement from my mom. Without her encouragement, I don’t think I would’ve done it. She always supported me and writing is something I’ve always enjoyed doing. As long as I enjoy it, I’ll continue to do it. I’ve learned already that I can’t please everyone. Not all reviews will be good, not all reviews will be bad. I’m the one that has to be happy with my work.

I get my inspiration from life experiences, movies, television, other authors, and music. Music is definitely a big influence on my writing. I can hear a song and it can inspire an entire book for me. I listen to it while I’m driving or before I start writing and it keeps me inspired. I like to put music in my books, even if it’s just one song the characters listen to or hear at some point. Sometimes music has gotten me through the really tough times in my life and that’s why it inspires me.

I like to write fast-paced, steamy romance reads. I like for my males to be alpha-males and my heroines to be strong, but both need to have one weakness- each other. I am an avid reader. I absolutely love romance books!

You TV series

Wow, hubby and I watched You on Lifetime last night. It was creepy and suspenseful. Hubby likened it to Dexter , and I have to agree. Penn Badgley was on point - creepy, stalkery, but fascinating. I didn't think too much of Elizabeth Lail's acting, but I'm not sure if it was just that her character was bland, or if it was truly bad acting. Can't wait for next week!
