About the author

I am T.M. Sullivan, and I am a stay at home mom that works from home as a hairstylist, while caring for two beautiful daughters. I am married to an extremely hard-working man who has done nothing but show me support in this venture. Being an avid reader my whole life and enjoying writing when I was younger. I decide to write a story of my own, never did I expect to be in the position I am now.
I love books with a little suspense, love and a whole lot of sexy, demanding men who love hard with their whole heart. Which is why I wrote this one I wanted my men to be every day hardworking men, whether they work in construction, work as a police officer, fireman, even sensual lawyers or business-men, I love them all. My women need to be passionate and strong giving their men a run for their money.
A tiny secret that no one knows, until now: I love stories with an HEA, and cliff-hangers kill me. I hate surprises. I'm not kidding; I will read the ending of the book to make sure there is an HEA and if the book is a cliff-hanger, I will wait until all the books are out and read them all right after another.
I want to thank anyone who gives my work a chance. I never thought in a million years I would write an entire book on my own, let alone have anyone who chose to read it.

This book is currently on KU but the author sent me a copy to review. This book had been released a few years ago under a different title. The author had it re edited and asked me to read it. This was a good story. Girl leaves home, gets called back home after family issues cause a problem. She finds true love at home and it had some steamy sex scenes. These things I like! I don't know what editing issues this had before but it seemed a fine read to me. So if you are a KU member give it a try!

Willa left her life behind once she finished Highschool. Her home town life was awful, her date stood her up for prom, the guy she was in love with didn't know she existed, and her mother compared her repeatedly to her dead twin sister. She left that life far behind and began living for herself. She signs and dances on stage in Las Vegas until her sister calls begging for help. Willa feels guilty for leaving her sister to deal with their mom so like a good girl she heads home. Once there she begins to realize that maybe all that happened in the past was not as it seemed. She runs into Grayson and his little girl who instantly steals her heart. This is TM Sullivan's debut book and I really enjoyed it. There were plenty of hot steamy scenes that will get your motor jumping. Lots of flashbacks with in depth details so the reader has a better understanding of what happened in the past. So many twist and turns that just as you think you know what's happening and bam plot twist. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens next with these characters.

I don't really know what to think. I loved Dance Me Out of Danger, but it confused me. The first half of the book jumped around, and I hated that. I almost stopped reading several times because of that. Why couldn't some of the scenes be in order? Why did a flashback have to happen, especially when I didn't know there was one? I did enjoy this book, but it irritated me at times. It was suspenseful, and I didn't really want to put it down, despite the skipping around. I don't know if I'll be reading the next book in this series or not.

I solemnly swear to give the best and most accurate review.
No biased reviews or misconceptions will you find here.

I edited this book for T.M as I am the Editor of Bella Tulip Publishing.

This story is very different from what I am used too. The storyline is a refreshing beginning to an incredible career as an Author.

Homecoming (Was Dance me out of danger) Is about a Singer, Dancer Vegas showgirl Willa McKenzie who's dragged back to her hometown Ferris to help take care of her very sick mom Lillian, who gave her her spirit and talent as a performer.
Willa has been away for far too long, and when she realises the strain, it has put on her sister she has no choice but to go home and help. However, when Willa get's home, her family aren't the only things waiting for her. In the darkness of Ferris are secrets and lies, ones that she'd hoped would stay buried forever. But unfortunately, that isn't the case. These secrets are the final nail in the coffin for the McKenzie family and all other's who are involved. Nonetheless, in all these bad tidings Willa finds love, strength and fight in the eyes of an old flame and love Grayson Malloy, who stops it nothing to keep her safe and in his arms.
A beautiful story of love, family and deceit. It is a must read and a highly recommended book.

I read this book when it was (Dance Me Out Of Danger ) by Author T.M. Sullivan it has been renamed (Homecoming ) and has been given a new cover, re-edited and been published by Bella Tulip publishing company .But I must say that it's still one hell of a story like it was in the beginning . T.M Sullivan has put it all in this story from murder,heartbreak ,suspense ,hot steamy sex and hot sexy males. The characters are so amazing and pulls you in to their lives like you're part of the story and it's these characters that make this story flow so smoothly and so amazing. But watch out the sex scenes are so hot that they will melt your panties right off you. This has such way to her writing which makes it wonderful to read . This is Willa's and Grayson's story and the love that was always there. Willa left her home town at a very young age with no thought's of very going back. And she had make it big in Vegas as a dancer and singer had also make some fantastic new friends and though of them as her family. Then one day her world was turned upside down ,she received a phone from her sister Sophia tell her she need to come home she need her help. At first Willa said she didn't have time to talk and Sophia told her their mother was sick and she need her. Willa finally agree to come home. When Willa arrived in the town she went to see her mother in the hospital and who did she run into face to face no other then the man she has always loved Grayson. And what a man tall, handsome and down right sexy ,he had a body that would melt any ones panties off. As Grayson spotted Willa walking towards him he still had them feelings of wanting her for his own and this time he wasn't going to let her get away. As I was reading this story it just drew me in deeper and deeper just like I was part of the story. Willa and Grayson are both strong head and won't back down from anything or any body ,and both will say what's on their mind. I loved how this author put flash backs in her story to helped us understand what happened in their life before Willa lifted, what brilliant way of do it. There is many twists and turns in this story that ill keep you on the edge of your seat and the sex scene will have you wanting more, my advise to you get some ice beside your seat to cool yourself down because this author can really describe her sex scenes ,I give her A+ for that. I could go on and tell you more about this fabulous story but that would be giving spoilers away and that's not right .I highly recommend you read this book for yourself because you won't be disappointed, I know I wasn't. Can't wait until her next book. If would give T. M. Sullivan more then 5 stars I would .keep up the great work and Congratulations (less)

Received a copy in exchange for an honest review

“Greyson grabs me and pulls me into his hot body, slamming his mouth on mine, making it feel like he was eating me inside out. The kiss is intense and breathtaking, I push him back, breathing hard.”

4 stars! This book was interesting to say the least. It wasn’t bad by any means, but it was different than most of the books I’ve read!!

Willa McKenzie thought her life was perfect. Living in Las Vegas, every night she fulfills her dream of singing and dancing as one of the city's most beloved showgirls.
Her dreams are shattered by a shocking phone call about her estranged dying mother. Forced to return to her hometown of Ferris, a town where she never felt happy or alive, she finds herself thrown into CHAOS.

When Grayson Malloy discovers Willa is back in Ferris, he has no intention of letting her slip away from him again. With a little help from his daughter, they show her what has been missing from her life. Grayson is determined to make her his to show her that true love does exist. That they can be each other's happy ending, if only she will trust him.

BUT...What Willa, Grayson and the residents of Ferris soon find out is that someone else has their SIGHTS set on Willa and has no intention of her LIVING forever...

This book was crazy and different, but crazy and different in a good way. Willa and Grayson’s relationship is intense and fun to read, and well let’s not forget super hot! But brace yourself there’s a lot of flashbacks, which can get confusing if you aren’t paying attention. Good book overall!

I preordered this book at an event to support the authors and I was not sure what to expect (I have not had much experience with the indie book world). It is not the type of book I usually read but I was more than willing to branch out a bit because the story seemed pretty interesting. I didn't know that it would have the erotica scenes but I wasn't bothered by them!

First, what I liked: I felt like the storyline was really compelling and the characters were fairly well done. It had a good mix of romance, mystery, and intrigue. It was also just about the perfect length. The pace was really good and I didn't feel like it dragged on like some books do. I loved how Grayson's and Willa's story progressed and ended up.

However, I did have a lot of trouble getting through it because of the numerous errors in grammar and punctuation. Some of this is always to be expected but there were errors on almost every page (For example, there were commas missing in the dialogue which actually changed the meaning of what was written and I had to backtrack to figure out what was meant. Also, the dialogue was not separated well, so the change of speakers was all mixed up and confusing. The tense also kept changing out of nowhere, which made it very inconsistent and difficult to read. There were also many run on sentences and fragments)
With better editing, I really think the book would have been fantastic and it would have received a higher rating from me. I did think that Grayson's dialogue was a little unbelievable (I have never heard anyone talk that way) but, overall, I actually did like his character.

Dance Me Out Of Danger by T.M Sullivan

Independent reviewer for Archaeolibrarian I Dig Good Books.

3/5 (Good)

*I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for a fair and honest review*

The story line and the idea of the story was great. It was kind of a fun sweet story to read with some heartbreak and sadness. To me, it was the perfection of events for the story. The characters were written to be characters you would eventually fall in love with and would enjoy reading about and other characters were written so you would really loathe them as you should.

Unfortunately, the book that I read needs some overhaul to it. The story line is there and is excellent. It needs a good re-read to correct grammar mistakes sand some plot / timing issues. There were times when things happened and then time seemed to have back tracked for the next event to happen, then it moved forward again. This all happened with no mention of time etc. I do look past the spelling issues as I usually am reading an ARC, but these grammar and plot issues really kept me from falling in love with the story! The lovely thing is that the author does have the ability to correct these items and reload the story so don't let this defer you from reading the story.

I would have loved to have given the story 5 stars but those plot issues and grammar usage really just kept me from falling deep into the story. If I look past that part, the story had me at the first chapter. The idea of the story is great and sad and heart warming and loving. The concept is perfect.

Murder, mystery and hot sexy romance, holy crap this book was awesome. Debut novel from author T.M. Sullivan totally rocks. If this is the work that this author can produce, I can't wait to read the next books. 

This book is about Willa and Grayson. They have known each other forever but never pursued a relationship. Willa come back home at the request of her sister. Her mom is sick and she is needed. Willa is apprehensive because her and her mother don't have the best relationship. Deciding to stay in town, she makes the best of her situation. She meets Grayson again and his adorable little girl. They are able to reconnect and pursue the relationship they missed out on years ago. People have other ideas and try to keep them apart. They prove that love can conquer all, even scheming idiots. 

I loved the relationship between Willa and Grayson's daughter Charlotte. Willa helps her come out of her shell. I also loved that Willa and her sister were able to reconnect. She helps her sister get her life back. 

The book is wonderfully written and very engaging. It leaves the reader guessing to the very end. I won't tell any tidbits about the mystery/suspense but I will say it's a must read.

This debut novel by T.M. Sullivan has it all.... Murder, Mystery, suspense, love, hot sex, amazing characters. What more could you ask for.

I fell in love with this book from the first few pages and could not put it down. Willa has been in love with Grayson for her entire life pretty much and Grayson reciprocates those feelings but because there is a 10 year age difference between them he never expressed those feelings. The one time he was ready to tell her how he felt she was gone and he had a child on the way with another woman. Now after 8 years and Willa thinking her life is pretty much perfect she must return home to Ferris to help her sister and mother. Once she is home things are just crazy. Someone is after her and just when you think you might have an idea of who could be behind it T.M. throws in another speed bump and makes you question everything you know.

Amazing book that will i swear have you hooked and wanting more even after it ends. I cannot wait to get Sophia and Drew's story next and see what else is in store for the sisters Willa and Sophia.

Willa is a Vegas show girl. She's a great and talented dancer. She left home early in her life to further herself and career.

Grayson at a young age became a father. He loves his daughter very much and would like to give her a mother. When the only women he has ever loved comes back into town he does not plan on letter her out of it again.

This was a really good book.I loved the story line. I'm excited to see what happens next and who exactly is cause problems in the small town. The sex was great and plentiful and the characters were awesome.

Please know I did like it. There were a couple things.....

-I wasn't all for the over use of the word baby. It became a little much.

-I think it would help if flashbacks were noted with italics to help separate them from the main story.

-It could use one more go through in editing. It was a little distracting.

Other than those I really enjoyed this book!!

[Beantown Bitches · Rating 4 out of 5]

This started off like a million other books I have read! Girl goes home after being gone runs into guy she was in love with as a teenager they see each other and are declaring their undying love for each other blah blah blah. However, somewhere about a quarter way in the twist begins and the story really takes off!

Willa returns home after leaving right after High School to help her sister with her sick mother. After returning home Willa realizes she may have been wrong about a lot of things.
Willa runs into Grayson her best friend's older brother who she was in love with as a teenager. Grayson along with the help of his daughter try and convince Willa they are meant to be. Willa soon discovers that other people from the past have other ideas of what her future holds. .

Overall I enjoyed this story and the plot and give it 4 stars. I look forward to reading more from this author,

so far the issues that I have that's huge is the flash backs. they keep coming, over and over again. no way of telling you are going into one. the characters will say something, after a flashback that had nothing to do with flashback, soon later another one would happen to explain a while later explaining. its really weird.

willa and gray's relationship is weird. Charlotte automatically talks to her? gray saying some of the intimate things to her and she is ok with it?

willa is supposed to be am independent girl but when she tries to explain stuff, gray gets alpha with translate to semi asshole and she flies off the handle.

at 55% I can't finish it. the jumping around is so confusing. there is no way to tell when it will happen. i am just wow. good luck to the author.

Dance Me Out of Danger kept me on the edge of my seat and reading into the wee hours of the morning. I COULD NOT put the book down because I just HAD to know what was going to happen to Willa and Grayson. The plot was incredibly captivating and suspenseful.

The characters were complex, believable, and mostly likable. Willa was a dancer and a hothead with a temper not too much different from my own. Grayson was a typical hot alpha male.

This was T.M. Sullivan's debut novel, and I have to say that I am impressed. I really hope she is busy writing Picture Me Safe, its sequel, right now because I NEED the second book ASAp! I will most definitely be one-clicking the entire Ferris Series by T.M. Sullivan!

[Korena Kerner · Rating 4 out of 5]

Willa McKenzie goes back home when her sister Sophie calls. Sophie needed help with their mother and the studio. Willa returns home back to drama. Willa runs into Grayson Malloy who she has loved her forever. Come to find out, the feelings are mutual.

The description of Grayson makes any woman's panties wet from anticipation. The chemistry between Grayson and Willa is combustible. Love the relationships between the characters especially between Willa and Charlotte, Grayson's daughter.

T. M. Sullivan is very enjoyable to read. The way she left you hanging at the end, you definitely need book two.

(Received ARC in exchange for our honest review.)

Dance me out of danger tells the story of Willa and Grayson. You follow Willa back to her home town that she left with no intention of returning. You learn about her family and about the one guy that she always had feelings for and that always loved her. He just never let on that he even cared because he was 10 years older. Follow their relationship and learn who they are. TM Sullivan done a wonderful job in writing this story. Can't wait for the next book.

[Hayley · Rating 4 out of 5]

A fantastically written 4* read that's will leave you with more questions than answers but the twists wow you just don't see them coming at all

Willa and Grayson have loved each other for years but due to the age gap they never pursued there attraction that's until Willa comes home to help her mom.

There's danger/romance/passion and attitudes when reading this and please be warned there is a cliffhanger ending

[Stephanie Hadlow · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book had me from the start! I love the strength and will that both Willa and Grayson have! Neither one backs down, but they both win. Their connection is hot, in the bedroom and out! The fact that I know this story carries on makes me very excited!
