A Pound of Flesh, Book 1

Blurb:
Lose your heart to your new bad boy book boyfriend. Wes Carter - sexy, edgy, behind bars, with emotional scars as permanent as the ink on his skin, just waiting to be healed by love...

Fans of Samantha Young, Jodi Ellen Malpas, Jamie McGuire, Katy Evans and Prison Break will find this powerful love story utterly addictive and unforgettable.

Their love is forbidden. But won't be denied... Can true love heal the deepest scars?

For Kat Lane, teaching inmates at a New York prison is her way of upholding the legacy of her beloved father, murdered fifteen years ago. But when new student Wes Carter walks into her classroom, she's shaken by the strength of her attraction to him. Carter is as handsome as he is dangerous, as mysterious as he is quick-witted - and he ensures people keep their distance. Yet vibrant Kat bypasses his defences and challenges him to reveal the real man behind the intimidating reputation. As their emotional barriers crumble, their inescapable but forbidden feelings cannot be ignored. But will Kat's discovery of Carter's role on the night her father died force them apart...or bind their hearts for ever?

A Pound of Flesh is a tale of loyalty, redemption and all-consuming love against the odds, introducing an irresistible bad boy hero...

Checking in!

Me too!!

Nice thing is that we're on the same Grimm team & also working the same B-challenges... We can make this fit somewhere!

;)

Yes that's true, CTF is brutal though isn't it? I thought it was going to be a nice little read a thon lol
I dread to think what Quidditch was like, I think that was supposed to be harder!

Yes, I know not to sign up for Quidditch unless I'm living in a cabin alone for the duration...

What is Amazing Race supposed to be like compared to all these?

I have no idea, I just signed up without checking lol

I am a big believer in "ignorance is bliss"!!

Yep me too!

9 times out of 10 I don't know whether I'm having a shit or a haircut lol

HaHa! No doubt!
(I am going to guess 9 times out of 10 you also have a book in your hand too!)

yep! lol

I'm going to start this one I think, I'm trying to blam them out now lol

Luckily Fishers Light fit in with ctf otherwise I would've never got round to it!

I just told Stacey I'd start Boundary Crossed with her today/tomorrow but can read this one after that.

(Although you'll likely be done so I'll just read your spoilers..) :)

I'm finishing up Fisher's Light and Wicked White today... Hey, that rhymed! HAHA!

Your a poet and didn't know it lol

I think we missed our calling!

up to chapter 4 and I'm no Columbo but I think (view spoiler)[ we may have met the unknown boy already!!! (hide spoiler)]

sigh......pass me a cigar...."Just one more thing!"

ok I like Austin (view spoiler)[ He's cute but I bet they make him into a bad guy so that we still love Wes! (hide spoiler)]

OK... so now that you're into the book - where can I use it on CTF??? :D

I'll have a look for you now lol

just if something hits you...

Like with Fisher's Light, who know there would be someone who "works with wood" until you read it...

Yeah I know I saw that one and I was gutted lol.

you could have friends to lovers
accused of a crime
2 MC's
MC saves someone's life

YAY!!!! LOTS OF CHOICES!!!!

Starting Boundries tonight and probably Pound of Flesh tomorrow!

Are you liking it so far? The reviews looked very good!

Yeah its quite good, but I think it's sort of those ones that you've read before type books.

I'm starting to think its bc we have... Lol

Sigh ........ just call me Agatha !

Are you sleuthing your way through??

Yeah I'm on chapter 27 of 43 I'm enjoying it actually, some of it is quite cheesy but it's good so far.

I think I should be able to start it later today. RL kind of got in the way a bit more than I'd anticipated... LOL!

Still finishing boundries - I'm liking it so far. It may be your kind of paranormal.. ;)

Ooh I'll have a look!

Btw I gave the Experiment in Terror books to my friend Tamsin to read She's on GR but doesn't do any challenges even though I've tried to bully her lol.
Every day at the school when we pick up the kids she's like OMG I'm on book 5/6/7 then yesterday she ran up saying OH MY GOD IT'S HIS BROTHER!!!!! Haha

LMAO!!!! Hilarious!!!!!

How can she not want to do challenges....?

Sorry... got stuck there... hahahaha!

lol I know, I keep trying to push her but she's not budging yet!

I have faith in you!

BTW - boundries is also a 'witch' book

I had no idea...

oooh double looking now lol

I'm going in.... :)

Go with your gut girl!

I see what you mean about the story being familiar... But am enjoying her writing style.. The story has a good flow to it.

And I think Austin is icky.

You are a better judge of character than me lol

Unfortunately last night was little sleep but on the bright side, I'm up to chapter 32 of 36...

Talk about a serious personality change... (view spoiler)[ what the heck?? Another pussy?? Haha! (hide spoiler)]

What are you doing awake lol

You taken over me now lol

My daughter is having some teeth pulled and what not today... I tell her not to worry and then felt I should take that on. Haha!

ouch!

Finished! Liked it but (view spoiler)[ I was surprised that nothing came up about the two of them hooking up after it was such a big deal that they don't date due to her job... And everyone knew... Really thought Austin would retaliate with that at the very least... (hide spoiler)]

woah were you on chipmunk mode lol

I'm done!

And yep why (view spoiler)[ didn't it all kick off with Austin telling the board about them being together ?
It would have made a much meatier story, (hide spoiler)] but I liked it otherwise.
