Excerpt
“Your eyes are so bright I can almost see your soul shining behind them. That’s why the color diminishes when someone dies. Their soul leaves their body. Maybe that’s also why my eyes are so gray. They lack color because I lack a soul.”
About the Author
NATIONALITY AND CULTURAL CONNECTIONS: I'm a true blue Aucklander, born and bred in New Zealand. I tend to write about cultures I have connections to, such as Croatian and Maori. I would love to visit Croatia again as I have family there. However, in My Masters' Nightmare, I have started writing about Italians. My husband is part Italian and I also have a degree in Italian.
SPORTS: As a teen my favorite sports were karate, badminton, and running. I also did unarmed combat and played in a touch rugby team (my gym teacher made me do the last one!) Now, I stick to coaching soccer and running. I have completed two marathons, numerous half-marathons and one 30K run.
CAREER PATH: I started off as a Graphic Designer, then went to Auckland University, where I got a BA degree in Art History and Italian Studies and a post-graduate Honors degree in Art History. I worked in the Art History field, then became a full-time artist, doing commissions. I eventually lost all of my senses and gave it up to be a poor, starving writer, smh.
FAVORITE FOODS: I'm vegetarian. I love pasta based foods, tofu, chocolate mousse and golden queen peaches.
BAD HABITS: I'm a major procrastinator that can't seem to earn money to save myself!
STATUS: Married to my high school sweetheart (which he hates me calling him). We have two kids.

This is my first book by this author and I have to say, I
found myself immersed very quickly into her writing. This is a very dark erotic
romance with an almost psycho-sexual in tone. I will say I think I was missing
something at times, this still rocked the Russian Baddie all the way.
You meet Andriena
and before this Russian Mafia war went down, she was the “pampered” princess.
She was taken everywhere, waited on and nothing bad happened to her. Then this
war happens and she is double-crossed
by a trusted person who sold her. She ends up beaten, sold to the Black Russians,
naked in a cell, afraid for her life –wondering why her—oh they drugged her and
when she woke up, there was a terribly beaten yet still beautiful golden haired
man is shoved into the cell with her. She is told to “nurse him” back to
health.. That is how we meet Sasha , the golden hair man. He doesn’t take to
kindly to Andriena and when he
gets to become more aware of himself and his surroundings, oh does he kick up a
fuss. especially when Sasha knows what woman he is locked in with. Those Black Russians
torture for the heck of it and they love to twist the “knife” so to speak,
punishing Sasha for his lashing out for being locked up, for who he is locked
up with. Neither Andriena nor Sasha have a choice yet they try to make
the best of it. The emotions coming off them are heartbreaking. They are in a
life or death situation , they have been betrayed and they are trying to cope.
And they find they are attracted to each other…how bizzare. But it works, the
author portrays this in such a way that you get each MC POV and it is awesome.
I cannot wait for Book 2 to see how the MC end up. Sasha is definitely an alpha
male and I LOVED that about him. Andriena is coming into her own and
after all she has been through, she is bound to be somewhat out there in her
emotions –I enjoyed the fact when she let loose in a certain scene. LOLOL I was
in tears, laughing out loud. The author has got to write more scenes like this
for book 2 .
My rating: 4.6 stars ****
