About the author

Books. Books. Books.

I love looking at them, smelling them, reading them, carrying them, writing them.

I have an addiction. Someone help me.

I'll read anything from historical romance to fast action thrillers, gritty urban to fantasy.

When it comes to writing, I'm more of a romance gal. Expect admirable heroines, swoony gentlemen and some r-rated fun.

As things start to heat up with Erica and Reggie someone very close to Erica has become dangerously obsessed with her and it soon may turn deadly.
Wow, what can I say this book was really good. Erica and Reggie where great but for me Crazy Brooklyn stole the show. The story really drew me in. I love a good thriller and this book had me wondering what she would do next and Reggie was so sweet to Erica, I love how he took care of her. My only complaint is this book did jump scenes quite a bit,to the point of making me a little confused but it was not so bad that I was unable to enjoy the story.

So good

Read this book in less than 3 hrs, not because it was short but because it was too good. It's addictive and have an amazing love story. I was so wet that I had to fan my you know. Sex scenes were on point and were so so so good. No romance novel got me as wet as this and trust me ive read plenty of kinky romance including 50 shades. This book is hot and romantic.

Too short. There should have been an epilogue, but I understand why there wasn't one as the author is hinting that there might just be a second story. She can't redeem Brooklyn, but she could write about Kendra and Nico's romance in order to give us an update on Erica and Reggie, her parents, and Brooklyn's cuckoo behind.
My complaint is a lack of a description for Erica. When things like this occur it is suspect.

Waiting on Brooklyn story

I'm hoping Brooklyn get herself right. The girl got some serious mental issues. Quin didn't deserve his demise but you can't keep threatening people and expect karma not to hit you in the face. Dying to know what will happen to Brooklyn and the baby.

Erica got her man. Reggie plans to protect and love his woman. Love it!!

Pretty Good

This was a refreshing read. Brooklyn has some serious issues. I liked Erica from jump. I could understand how she would be willing not to trust another man. Quin was a Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. Reggie was sexy and very patient. I liked the the other supporting characters as well. I will keep reading Verji's work.
