About the author
Nicole Colville
48 books402 followersWelcome to the home of bittersweet M/M romances which will leave you craving more.
Nicole grew bored being a supermodel genius who worked part time for NASA, and decided to take a break from helping solve the mysteries of the universe with Stephen Hawkins to write m/m romance.
She has a loving relationship with her hubby of twenty years, and has achieved a lot in her short life considering she's only eighteen. She has fourteen dogs of all different breeds, plus twenty cats, and when she's not tending to their every need, and solving complex math problems, she loves to sew and can be often found knitting in the garden, which she maintains all by herself with her magical green fingers.
Finding time to make all of her own clothing and master the kitchen better than Gordon Ramsey, she's also a vegan domestic goddess and can often be found cooking up a storm bare foot in her kitchen.
Okay, so that's not true, especially the cooking part, though I do tend to be bare foot and I swear like Gordon does while burning my latest creation -- and I still think NASA will be getting in touch. Any day now!! *crosses fingers* I could sooo do that job because I'm so obviously awesome, but until they do...
I'm a full time author of M/M Romance and Erotica, and somehow I have several bestselling books under my belt. I've been writing for four years, and I self publish all my work under Hidden Pleasures Publishing along with my amazing team of helpers in the form my cover designer Kellie Dennis, editor Jessica McKenna, and all of my beta readers and PA's.
I'm a wife to my beloved hubby and mother to two young girls, and I do in fact have two cats who I adore, but no dog, as the hubby put his foot down. I live in Leeds in the North of England and I love it, despite the terrible weather.
My men are all seeking what everyone is, true love mixed with passion and their own happy-ever-after full of laughter and tears.

August 1, 2014My eighth book will be published and available to buy on Amazon on the 01 August. I'm excited to get this one out and hear what you all think.
It's a book which I really enjoyed writing. It follows old and new characters through the past and present. There's an exciting new POV from Gray, and you can hear his thoughts in his own voice and see from his eyes. Alex is back - I know a lot of you have missed him.
You see certain things in a different way when you read this, and perhaps change your opinion about a couple of major characters which you have read about previously.
Scot and Jamie are back with a bang in this one. It's been a while since they had their own book out. I've missed them and it's been lovely having them back in my life again.
Thank you to everyone who reads Hidden, and who have fallen in love with my men - erm...our men. :D I love sharing them with you.
Lots of Love, Nicole.xxx

She did it again! This book keeps you on the edge or your seat. The emotional roller coaster you go on will leave you reeling in the best way possible. I fell in love with guys that I previously hated. She introduces us more completely to men we knew only fleetingly. Relationships are changed and strengthened. I went through every emotion from wanting to punch something and scream to crying to smiling and saying "awwwwe". This is a MUST READ.

Let's see if I can write this without spoiling anything. So much going on and so much I want to say and can't without ruining it for others. Okay, where do I even start? This book, like all the other in the series is an emotional roller-coaster that you just can't jump off. It was an amazing adventure. Everything that happens in the first books comes full-circle in this one. People I hated I now love, and people I loved I now hate. When Davide and Jamie are taken, i was scared where this would end up. Death looms so close and at times. I was on the edge of my seat, praying while at the same time shaking my head, wondering how this all could be happening. We see sides of all the men we've never known, and the ties that bind them all seem to grow stronger. There is one major event that leaves you with your mouth open, shocked and stunned. We see old characters return, and some of those I wished to never see again, yet, now, I long to hear more about their stories. The author made my hate turn to love in the most amazing way. We delve into the lives of Michele and others a bit more, and I like getting to know them more personally. Davide is amazing, and I have a new-found love for the man after all he does to try and keep Jamie safe. Scot, well I don't know how he holds it together, but then again, he is Scot, he finds a way. I am addicted to this series. It rates right up there with the best of the best. I can't wait to see what Scot and Jamie and the other men have in store for us next. This is a brilliant series that I can't recommend highly enough.

What can I say, where do I start? This book is a complex series of events that will make you both laugh and cry – trust me, I did both.
Jamie and Scot are now married, but is everything happy in their corner of paradise? Not for me to say. Just when when you think there is nothing else that can be thrown at these two, Ms Colvile comes up trumps once again. Enter Davide, tall, dark and very, very handsome who's job it is to protect Jamie above all else, and he more than delivers.
This book helped cement my feelings for Scot as he was faced with losing everything he held dear to him and Iwill say I wanted to reach inside my ipad and hug him so hard at times.
We get to hear from lots of people in this book, most of who we haven't heard from or possibly even considered wanting to before, but each person has a voice, and a clearly defined reason for sharing their thoughts with us, all of it is insightful and gives you another perspective on events.
There are more highs and lows in this than you will find on the worlds best rollercoaster, but this had the added sexy men we have here and I know where I would rather be, and it's right here with Jamie, Scot, Angel et al.
Be prepared for lots of gasps as you read this, it really did keep me up late at night, awake early on a morning and constantly running late for work, and it takes a lot to have me this hooked.
I finished this book in about 4 days and I must say, I think that this is one of my favourite books in the series so far.

REVIEWED FOR PRISM BOOK ALLIANCE
This book is 508 pages long and it was nowhere near long enough! What a roller coaster ride this one was. This whole series has had me hooked from the start and it just keeps getting better and better. If I was to have one criticism it would be that it all the books could do with a good proofread – but the story is so good, the plot is so tight and the characters are so alluring that in the end I just didn’t care. I just wanted more, more, more story!
There is a real OMG feel to this story. I was excited reading about it and couldn’t put the thing down for hours. It defies logic, is certainly worthy of being a soap opera story but all the intricacies of the plot spanning over the previous books made it believable.
To tell you would be to spoil it so I won’t. I will say that it brought this book to life; it impacted on all the characters that I have grown to love. The Victores and The Burtons certainly never do anything easily.
There has been a game set in motion throughout this series by someone who has been extremely clever and manipulative. The thought that has gone into all of this is mind boggling and you have to acknowledge that Nicole Colville is a master at developing a gripping story line that suddenly ties everything together and changes how we see so much of the past.
The finale of this manipulation is that Jamie is kidnapped with his bodyguard Davide but there are no real plans for a ransom demand or release. This is not about money or gain but more about a twisted love that has left the puppet master with a sick reality of how his life will be. Jamie has to face a lot of demons from his past whilst held captive and he seeks comfort from Davide, a man who he has been crushing on, this is problematic as Davide returns those feelings with much greater intensity.
Scot is left devastated by the kidnapping and further traumatised by videos of Jamie and Davide. I think this is the first time in the series that Scot has ever shown any real weakness as he slowly starts to fall apart. Help comes from ghosts from the past but Scot will do anything to get his beloved Jamie back, he just hopes he gets him back in one piece and not lost his head once again.
Brilliant Nicole Colville, just brilliant!
