Blind Rage ~ Review
Blind Rage ~ Book #4
by T. Hammond
Publication Date:
May 14, 2014
Fifteen months ago, an accident left Teresa
March scarred and completely blind. Having chosen David after a lively
Siege to win her love, Teresa was stunned by his admission, and
subsequent desertion, on Christmas Eve.
Bastian Declan, David’s business partner and Teresa’s childhood friend, has loved Teresa for years. He wastes no time seizing this new opportunity to finally win her heart.
While David is stuck in Boston hoping to resolve the conflict and restore his relationship with Teresa, PreClan’s top-secret surveillance system is at a critical stage. Tension is high, and the house is full of very capable guards, after another foiled attempt to steal the technology. Teresa, vacillating between hurt at David’s deception, and wonder at Bastian’s potential, doesn’t fully appreciate the danger.
Teresa’s service dog, Red, is smart, opinionated, handsome, and can talk. Well, at least to Teresa anyway. Understandably excited by all the activity, will his vigilance and unique bond with Teresa be enough to keep her safe?
BLIND RAGE picks up where Blind Faith (book three) left off. While Bastian patiently shows Teresa he can be the partner she needs, they both want closure regarding her relationship with David. Will Teresa choose to forgive David, or will she open herself up to the possibility of a more tumultuous love?
WELCOME TO TEAM RED!
BLIND RAGE will have you gasping in shock, sad with empathy, and Laughing-Out-Loud (literally- some readers caution you should not eat or drink while reading, or you will be spewing food/liquids when you get to the funny parts... err, which make up a large portions of the book). This version of the series is INTENDED FOR MATURE ADULTS OVER 18. Contains graphic sexual content, and swearing, which is unfortunate as the dog repeats everything.

T. Hammond lives in Spokane, WA with her
goofy, neurotic, long-coat German shepherd, Dexter; he's noble and
brave, until someone turns on the microwave, then she has 100lbs of
quivering dog trying to hide behind her chair or bury his head under a
pillow (Little known fact: a 100lb German Shepherd CAN fit under a
coffee table).
T. writes two concurrent versions of the Team Red
series for both the Adult and New Adult audiences. Blind Seduction and
Color Blind are part of the Blind series - featuring adult-themed erotic
romance combined with a humorous paranormal storyline. The Red series
featuring Red Rover and Red Zone (release date Aug 23rd) is a funny
paranormal romance series with a lighter PG13 type storyline. While both
series contain the same character names and a lot of shared dialogue,
the Red series is stripped of sexual content and language.
T feels that writing is not a calling so much as it is a compulsion. No one is more surprised than she is when characters take over the plot and dialog, and (re)direct stories in directions she had not (consciously) intended. She is fully convinced that the writer is the tool a story uses to tell its tale. Some tools, of course, are more appropriate for the job than others. Here's hoping, you feel she did her stories proud.
T. has a Bachelor's Degree in Organizational Management from Whitworth University, and a Master's Degree in Organizational Leadership from Gonzaga University and before becoming a writer she was a bookkeeper, technical/manual writer, Call Center Manager and the owner of a freshwater aquarium store, Guppy Tales.

Surviving Love Blog Tour
Surviving LOVE by M.S. Brannon
“She
is my heart and the other half of my life, and now, that life no longer
exists." ~Drake Evans, Surviving Love
For Drake Evans, life was once
happy. He was living the kind of existence that any man would envy. By
his side was the woman he loved and a daughter he cherished. Life was
truly perfect, until the day demons from the past came crashing into
their perfect world, destroying everything he had been so sure would
last forever.
Today, Drake’s life is shrouded in misery. Every day he
faces the unyielding pain of losing the love of his life at the hands of
a drug dealing murderer. On top of it all, he has to live with the
anguishing betrayal caused by the devastating role his brother played in
Presley’s death. Gone are the days of carefree happiness and impending
futures. They've all been replaced with the shallow emptiness hollowing
out his heart and the undeniable rage pumping through his veins. Drake
is only moving through the motions of life, raising his daughter and
earning a living, in the only way he can tolerate—alone.
Since the day
she was banished from her family, Zoe Ledoux lives her life as a free
spirit. For the past four years, Zoe’s been moving through life day by
day, place by place. She never stays in one area long enough to
establish relationships. She refuses to get close to anyone, protecting
herself from the fear of once again being left behind. Then a turn of
fate sends her to Sulfur Heights where she lands a job working as a
bartender.
In a chance meeting, an instant connection forms, bringing
together the wounded souls of Drake and Zoe. It is together that they
begin to cope; to mend the brokenness of their pasts and feel what it is
like to truly live again. However, will their newly formed friendship
be enough to pull Drake and Zoe from their dark pasts? Can Drake
overcome the fear of losing someone he loves and eradicate his anger
just enough to let someone in? Will he learn that Surviving Love with
Zoe is what he ultimately needs in order to be happy?

I yank open the door and pull the half empty bottle of whiskey left in the cupboard. Unscrewing the cap, I tip the glass to my lips and allow a few more tears to fall down my face.
“Here’s to the rest of a useless life,” I toast to no one and chug down the whiskey. It instantly burns and calms my insides. The raging ocean of emotions I can’t seem to shake is finally subduing, and it’s welcome. Jack Daniels is always welcome to ease my agony. Always.
I rip my tucked-in shirt from the waistband of my pants and move down the back stairs. The last time I wore this fucking shirt was when I saw Presley in rehab. I will never wear this piece of shit again. Still grasping the bottle, I rip open my shirt, popping buttons as my chest is exposed to the cold, damp air.
I walk to the driveway and see the spot where I last held Presley alive. My boots scuff the pavement when I walk toward the dreaded spot. I hold the bottle to my lips again and chug. Then again and again. It’s burning my gut and suffocating my throat, but I keep gulping it down. My legs give out, collapsing to the concrete. The pain stings when my knees connect with the ground. I relish in it. It’s more welcome than the pain in my heart.
“This is the only way I can get you out of my mind,” I whisper out loud to no one, or maybe to her, but I don’t fucking know. “I need you out of my mind. I need peace for just a day. I love you, Presley, but I just need peace.” I expel a deep breath and choke back another drink. “Don’t hate me, baby, but please…give me some peace.”
I lay down on the cold concrete just as the rain begins to pick up again. I don’t care. I want to be in this spot. I want to be with her. And I want to be numb. I choke back a few more drinks until the bottle is empty then close my eyes, envisioning only her honey-brown irises and the world I will no longer possess. ~ Drake Evans, Surviving Love

Tragic LOVE
“From the moment I
locked eyes with hers, we've had this undeniable connection that was and
will always be wicked. A love that would literally kill me if it didn't
survive, but lately, could kill me if it did.” ~Drake Evans.
For Drake and Presley, life has handed them more challenges than any one person should ever face in a lifetime. Together, they've survived Presley’s captivity from her deranged uncle, but now they must learn how to live with the events that surrounded her time spent with him, while keeping the details of her rescue a secret.
For Presley Quinn, living the last two years has been practically unbearable, constantly drowning in nightmares put there by a man responsible for the violent images continually playing in her mind. She keeps moving forward, but is barely clinging onto the edge when she’s faced with another obstacle from her past that is so unavoidable, so tragic, it threatens to break her apart—herself.
Drake will do anything to protect Presley from ever feeling pain again. His love is irrefutable. He walks side by side with her, vowing he will never let anyone harm her again. However, when an unexpected event turns Presley against everyone she’s ever loved, Drake is faced with trying to save the only woman he’s ever loved or severing the only lifeline she’s ever had—himself.

Blind LOVE
"She is magnetic to me.
Every emotion she feels pulls me that much closer to her charm and
energy. For reasons unbeknownst to me, I want her to know what she means
to me." Jake Evans For Jake Evans, life was as it should be. No
responsibilities. He was the master at embracing his reckless lifestyle
whenever it presented itself. Surviving on his ability to expertly
hustle, fight and womanize, Jake could do it all; lived it all. Raised
in a rundown city, filled with crime and drugs, he had survived the
death of an abusive mother and a life with an absent father while only
having his brothers to depend on. His lifestyle became fast and Jake had
lived it the only way he knew how, until the day he met Delilah.
Delilah St. James was the epitome of flawless. Brought up in an affluent
southern household, Delilah's life had been planned from the moment she
was born. She was raised to be the perfect socialite and daughter, and
groomed to be the ideal wife. When a school internship moved her to
Sulfur Heights for the summer, Delilah collided with the bitter reality
of life outside her comfortable gated community when Jake Evans upset
her perfect world. Over the next two years, Jake and Delilah became best
friends, embracing a friendship neither one was prepared to have,
although they soon found it to be a relationship that neither one of
them were willing to sacrifice. A tragic turn of events brings Jake and
Delilah together once again. Only this time, the feelings are different.
Lines within their friendship are blurred. Everything they vowed never
to do, becomes the very thing they cannot deny. Will Jake and Delilah's
relationship withstand the changes surrounding them? Or will the
emotions sever the two year friendship they'd fought so hard to keep?
