Let Love Live: Who would you become if you lost the only person who ever mattered? For twenty-six year old Dylan Hopkins, the answer is easy. He’s become no one. Memories of the happier times are all he has left as he finds himself meandering numbly through his now dull life. Though he cares about his work and family dearly, he’s yet to let himself find love again. Afraid of letting go of what he once had, Dylan chooses to keep his heart buried, where it belongs, having died a long time ago. Conner Michelson is about to change everything Dylan knows. He’s every bit the bad boy persona - tatted up, ex-MMA fighter, but after an injury leaves him unable to fight, he has to rethink his goals. Having just opened his own gym, Conner can cross his first major life accomplishment off his very short list. Next up: find a man he can settle down with and build a family. Seems simple enough - a dream most people have, but when he meets Dylan, his carefree, easy-going life is thrown into a tailspin. Determined to keep Dylan in his life, Conner vows to resurrect Dylan's long ago buried heart and let love live once more. READ THE PROLOGUE AND A TEASER HERE.

Let Love Live by Melissa Collins 

This book was simply heartfelt. I love this series and I have to say that Dylan and Connor's story was a beautiful one. It's sweet, touching, heartfelt and deep but with a touch of sexiness. 

You get taken through Dylan's life, dealing with being gay and finally finding his best friend and first love. It was gut wrenching with what happens to his first love Shane. I really wanted Dylan and Shane to have their happy ever after but life again gets in the way. My heart hurt for Dylan in so many ways. It takes him years to move on but knows he has to. Then we meet the tattooed hulk of sexiness, Connor. You get pulled through all the emotional turmoil that Dylan feels trying to move on with Connor without forgetting Shane. But you also feel for Connor while he competes with a ghost, as hard as it was they got through it after their up and down journey. But also it seems as if Dylan needed the kick to move forward and the ending will leave you wanting more.

On Solid Ground by Melissa Collins

**Spoilers**

What an emotional journey you are taken on when you meet Dax and Beck. Dax comes home from the army and finds life hard adjusting to civilian life and the dark secret of losing the man he loved. Unable to tell him family he confides in his best friend Chloe. 

You get to go through Dax's pain as he adjusts and it's heartbreaking seeing him go through it all. After deciding to have a tribute tattoo he meets the hot tattooed man, Beck. The sparks fly even though they don't know if the other is gay. I did love that neither of them would make the first move to ask, even though the sexual tension was there.

Beck has his own family issues and he keeps Dax at arms length. He steps up and takes on his niece when his sister is unable to. The tension builds between Dax and Beck and they give in and try to make a go of things. Life gets in the way and and emotions and insecurities come to the surface.

The emotions in the book are breathtaking, you truly feel what Dax and Beck are feeling and you want to wrap  them both in cotton wool and protect them. They are both very strong willed men but when they love, they love hard and fast. I loved seeing their love grow together and the trust shine through. Dax and Beck's story shows you love, loyalty and trust is needed to make changes for the good. I love the conclusion to this story, could not have asked for more.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Melissa Collins has always been a book worm. Studying Literature in college ensured that her nose was always stuck in a book. She followed her passion for reading to the most logical career choice: English teacher. Her hope was to share her passion for reading and the escapism of books to her students. Having spent more than a decade in front of a classroom, she can easily say that it’s been a dream.

Her passion for writing didn’t start until more recently. When she was home on maternity leave in early 2012, she read her first romance novel and her head filled with the passion, angst and laughter of the characters who she read about it. It wasn’t long before characters of her own took shape in her mind. Their lives took over Melissa’s brain and The Love Series was born.

I tensed, not really wanting to hear her answer, so afraid it might not include me. Us. Addy raised one shoulder in a shrug. “The plan was always to go to college, meet someone there, and get… married after graduation. But you, Mr. Stewart have ruined that.” “I have?” Something inside me leaped for joy. Did that mean she’d changed her mind about going away to college? Was she not going to leave me after all? “So… when I go to college…” She was still going? My heart sank so low I thought it might not stop. “It will be harder to leave than I… thought.” I rubbed her back, making slow circles below her shoulder blades. “Addy, going away to college. It’s that important to you?” “It really is. Is that so hard to understand?” “I just never saw the point, I guess. I tried a few classes when I got out of high school but didn’t have anything I really wanted to go into. I mainly went to play sports.” She pulled away just enough to peer up at me. “That’s where we’re different, I guess. There’s this need inside of me to keep learning. Keep growing.” “Uh-huh.” I wished she’d stop pointing out our differences. My heart only wanted us to be together. Do everything together. Not be apart. “I’ve just always had this vision of me being a vet, you know? Haven’t you ever wanted something so bad it almost hurt?” I nodded. You. You’re what I want. The only thing I want. “So college is the only way to make my dream come true.” “Which… is coming up soon, right?” My voice had a raspy sound that made me feel too vulnerable. Addy pulled away and looked at me. “About ten weeks.” “Wow… that fast?” “Yeah.” She touched my cheek then ran her finger down the side of my neck, giving me chills. “So then, you’re upset because…” She shook her head. “Addy, you can tell me anything.” “I’m upset because…” Her voice lowered to a whisper. I leaned closer to hear. “Graham, I don’t want to leave you.” Fresh tears coursed down her cheeks. I pulled her close again and tucked her head beneath my chin. “Shh. It’s okay.” “No it’s not.” The last word came out as a sob. “It will be. We’ll work it out.” “What’s to work out?” I sighed. “I don’t know.” There had to be something. Anything! “You’re upset too, aren’t you?” Her arms went around my back and she gave a light squeeze. “Yeah.” I swallowed, the movement bumping her cheek. “I… I don’t want you to… I’m going to miss…” She gazed up at me, pulled her hands from behind me and placed them on either side of my face. “Graham, I—” I kissed her, very lightly at first. Then it was like something took hold of me. A desperation. All of my senses were on high alert and I couldn’t get enough of her. She grabbed my shirt front and tugged me down on top of her.

She, her husband, and their three cats, love to spend time curled up in their recliners watching old Cary Grant movies. Well, the cats, Maxwell, Roxy and Remmie, sit in the people's recliners. Not that the cats couldn't get their own furniture. They just choose to shed on someone else's. You know how selfish those little furry creatures can be.   Ruth, a left-handed, cat-herding, Jeep-driving, farmhouse-dwelling romance writer uses her goofy sense of humor as she writes tales of lovable, klutzy women and the men who adore them. Ruth's husband and best friend, Garry, reads her manuscripts, rolls his eyes at her weird story ideas, and loves her in spite of her penchant for insisting all of her books have at least one cat in them. Or twelve. But hey, who's counting?

The Luminara Series.

Box Set – Volume 1

Books 1 - 3

Lussuria – L’amore – Lucca’s Lust

Dark. It’s all dark. Darker than you could ever possibly imagine. Not even a candle can flicker an incandescent light in front of me. Even now, years after I escaped, I’m still living in darkness. I’m still running.

I’ve spent my entire life gazing at the stars, wondering if I’ll ever get to live in the light. It must be dazzling and wonderful.

You’ve read about tortured souls, but you’ve never read about mine. I was taken before I was even born. It was my destiny and written in my stars.

My soul’s not just tortured, it’s unrepairable and hollow. I left part of it back in Hell, and I can’t go back. I won’t go back. Not ever.

You think you’ve read it all?

You haven’t.

And sadly … it’s all true. It happened to me. And I hate that it’s my life.

I shouldn’t be alive. Life was never my own. Nothing was given to me and everything was taken from me. I ran. I fought. I stayed alive. Well, my body survived, my mind didn’t.

I’m damaged beyond repair. I live on my nerves. I feel emotions bigger than myself, and I am many things.

Vulnerable
Anxious.
.
Paranoid.
Guarded.
.
Ashamed.
Dirty.
Exposed.

And I feel alone.

I pray that one day I will be free. But that means placing trust and letting someone in.

Would they make me brighter? Would they make me believe? Would I make them dark?

I’ve never wanted to feel for someone else because I’m far too broken and deep. It scares me. I don’t trust easily. I’m curious, but I’m nervous.

I’ve never felt lust, or love, or light.

Until now.
I feel Lucca Caruso, and everything he symbolises.

He desires me. He wants me. He worships me. He loves me. He protects me. He makes me feel alive. He sets my body on fire. He melts my heart. He gives me him. All of him.

He is lust.
He is love.
He is light.
I trust him.
I want him.
I need him.

He is everything I have fought my entire life to avoid. He makes me feel.

He is taking me places I never imagined could be possible. He is giving me new life. He is keeping me in his light. He is giving me his heart, body, mind, and soul. I love it … I love him. And there is no other place I want to be other than in his arms.

With Lucca … I feel like I can breathe. I’m alive. I need him to keep me here.

I’m Lexi and this is my story about a world of darkness and a journey towards the light.

SJ Molloy, British Author of ‘The Luminara Series’ was born in Edinburgh, Scotland. As a young child, her family moved and raised her in Lanarkshire, Scotland where she currently resides with her husband, two daughters and her energetic, hyperactive loving gun dog who is utterly spoiled.

SJ is a qualified Fitness Instructor and Health & Fitness Motivator of various fitness styles and disciplines. Music and dance aerobics have always been a pleasure and passion for her. SJ will sporadically make up dance style routines at any hour of the day when a move comes to her or piece of music moves or inspires her.  Currently not teaching classes, she is focusing her time into nurturing her yearning passion for creative writing, exchanging one visualisation for another.

As a child, SJ loved to write in journals and make up short stories and has a flare for all things creative. With an overactive imagination at times, SJ adores to make notes, visualise scenes and settings to create characterisations.

While on holiday with her family one summer reading book after book, she had a flash of inspiration and has had various ideas whirling around in her mind ever since. It was not until she pulled back on teaching classes that she found the courage, time and insight into actually bringing these ideas to life.

In February 2013 she decided to bring that imagination to light by beginning her writing  journey with ‘Lussuria’ the first instalment in ‘The Luminara Series’. ‘Lussuria’ was first published late November 2013, then re-published in April 2014. ‘L’amore’ the second instalment was published in June 2014. ‘Lucca’s Lust’ the third instalment was published in December 2014.

Being a self-confessed book junkie, she loves nothing better than to get lost in an emotional and moving book. A true romantic at heart, her guilty pleasure is reading heart-warming, passionate stories and falling in love with her favourite fictional characters.

With nine books already mapped out in ‘The Luminara Series’, SJ’s busy creative mind has already planned two more fictitious series’ and very different in their own right.

When she is not writing or reading, spending time with family and friends or exercising and walking her dog, SJ loves all things practical and creative. Dancing, music, cooking, travelling, good food and wine and painting are her favourite past times along with laughter, lots and lots of laughter.
