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.
The title and content mean that this phrase is going to be overused again and again in reviews because this one is just so Wrong its right, it’s the guilty pleasure you didn’t know you needed and 100% adrenaline rush from start to finish.
There are so many words that spring to mind to try to describe the feelings and emotions this dark story will wring from you, shredding your soul along the way. Twisted, raw, gritty, intense, violent, sexy, disturbing, heart breaking, crazy and graphic, Wrong packs a visceral punch that leaves you reeling thinking `What the fuck did I just read?`. It`s not easy reading by any stretch of the imagination and normally not my thing, the only reason I picked it up was a recent girl crush on L.P. Lovell after reading Hugo and loving it, she and Stevie J Cole are both new to me, both bloody good writers and this partnership is a strong if fucked up and twisted producing one!
Jude is one hot, sexy, ruthless motherfucker, the kind of bookie you would find in a Guy Richie film. Flawed, difficult but like a moth to a flame we can`t turn away. Circumstances made him the man that he is but while it’s a fucked up one he still has a moral code and as woman are his Achilles heel enemies use this against him.
Victoria is a doctor with a shining and good, unicorns, rainbows and glitter future in front of her when she is ripped from her world and thrust into Jude`s where a whole different set of rules apply. Tor`s inner strength is amazing and surprising, the things this girl goes through are harsh and difficult to read, the choices she makes when defeated and broken are heart breaking and a defining moment in her life and Jude`s. The chemistry and tension between Jude and Tor is scorching and when it explodes……………oh boy! Steamy hot sex, rough, raw and so good. Drunk Tor was hilarious and the banter between these two was delicious all the way though the book.
Wrong has it all, the Good, the Bad, the Ugly, the Crazy, the Fucked up and the Stupid. Very flawed, real, dark characters, a couple who shouldn`t make any kind of sense but do and a world of violent madness that is compelling reading. I was so invested in it that when I reached the end which is a huge cliffy I nearly threw my kindle at the wall! An absolutely fucking fabulous book that had me who doesn`t do dark reads captivated the whole ride. Totally deserving 5 *****
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.
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.Xx- Stevie J

My favourite genre is PNR - yep, more than happy to admit that I’m a bit of a #parawhores...... but small town is a very close second!!! In saying that, I’ll read and review a real mix of genres - from the better known authors to new-to-me authors and everything in between.
I hope you enjoy the posts and that they might lead you to some ‘new to you’ authors.
Thanks for stopping by.
Tracy 🖤💜🖤
