An Eraser Poem Giveaway ~ Thank you AJ Summer!

The best part of this writing journey for me so far has been the 'meeting of minds'. I have made friends all over the world with authors, bloggers and readers, since I first decided to publish, without having physically met a single one. The other day, I got a lovely surprise gift from an author friend of mine. She read and enjoyed my erotic novella Eraser so much that she was inspired to write a poem about it. I am so blessed to be able to share this with you all.

  

ERASER

A book that stole my mind...

Dream me, see me.

You will never know me.

Whip her, strip her.

Make her scream for SIR.

Mystery man, expensive drinks.

I demand to be ALL Mackenzie thinks.

Take you, give you more,

It's a sweet torture you adore.

Whimper for me, whisper in my ear

All those wicked things I long to hear.

Sweetest moan, crying strings

Flutter gentle papillon wings.

Intrigue you, tease you.

In desire I will see you through.

Blindfolded and tie bound.

In my mind delicious kink to be found.

Bite you, scar you.

I aim to break you.

Try you, Taste me,

You can never Erase me.

My rules, my game.

I know you wish, you knew my name!

A poem by AJ Summer,

Author of Guard My Heart

If you have read Eraser you will understand the significance this poem holds. (FYI, if you haven't read it you can get it for only 99c, what's stopping you? LOL)

My Review

First of all, how awesome is that cover?  If it doesn't make you want to read it then the blurb should.  Seven days.  So much can happen in a week.  Follow first Kyle and then twin Mia's story in this unique tale.

This book absolutely blew me away!  The characters are real and the circumstances in which these two live are totally relatable.  This book has a bit of everything; sweet young love, edge-of-your-seat drama, heart-stopping action, twists and turns, delectable poetry. 

You will feel for these characters, their fears, their turmoil, their heartbreak.  They will also make you smile with both swoon-worthy moments and ones of humour.

“Who needs a black belt in karate when you have a fan belt in kick ass right?"

I instantly fell in love with Kyle.  He was sweet and kind, with such love and dedication to his family that he was willing to make the biggest sacrifice of all.  His heart is in the right place and I couldn't help but root for him.  I just wanted him to get the girl and live the normal life he craved so much.  The heart-pounding action that happens in his part of the story had me on the edge of my seat and continually guessing.

“You are not alive. Your heart beats because that is what your brain
tells it to do.

Your lungs expand because that is what is required to continue existing.

You are not in control. Terror.”

Mia is heartbreaking.  Her poetry is beautiful.  And her troubles and insecurities, though understandable, are sometimes shocking.  She's hurting and has no confidence in herself.  Until seven days that changed it all.

“I look into brown eyes filled with love and lust. I'm drowning in a sea of melted chocolate and sex. Fuck! Why haven’t I married this girl yet?”

Jase.  What can I say?  At first he is all mysterious but Mia breaks through to him and as the story progresses we get to visit inside his head too.  And wow!  What a guy!  He is perfect for Mia and exactly what she needs.  He is hot and sweet too!

I really cannot say much else without giving too much away.  You have been warned - there is no happy ending.  There is a cliffhanger, but having said that the story still feels complete.  I'm usually looking for a HEA in the books I read but for some reason I was totally okay, more than okay – I was perfectly satisfied, with this ending.

This is AJ's debut, though you wouldn't know it from the quality of the writing.  The perfect flow of words and her use of imagery makes for a truly breathtaking read.  If you are looking for something a little different then this is it!  It is dark, gritty, full of raw emotions but has its sweet moments too.  I HIGHLY recommend you read this.  I am desperately waiting for the next book, which I am told isn’t too far away.

Synopsis

Bound by birth - Separated by consequence

KYLE

I can’t paint for shit. I can’t carry a tune to save my life. But I have a story.

A story that started out brave. A story that started out humble. A story of total destruction.

What would you do to save your family?

My decision was easy, the consequence was death.

I am Kyle but most people know me as the RUNNER.

How did this start?

Seven days. In Seven days I changed my world and the world of everyone I loved.

MIA

I could tell you a story about love and sunshine and of all being right in the world. But I won’t because that isn’t my story.

My story is so sweet it will make your teeth rot. My story is so real it will make you believe in fairy tales.

My story will rip your heart out and leave you bleeding all over the pages.

Outcast, rebel, misfit, all those words applied to me. Until I met him.

I fell in love once.

All it took was seven days. Seven days and my heart turned, twisted and thumped right next to his.

But not all stories have a happy ending.
