Amazon & USA Today Best Selling Author, Tillie Cole, is a Northern girl through and through. She originates from a place called Teesside on that little but awesomely sunny (okay I exaggerate) Isle called Great Britain. She was brought up surrounded by her English rose mother -- a farmer's daughter, her crazy Scottish father, a savagely sarcastic sister and a multitude of rescue animals and horses. Being a scary blend of Scottish and English, Tillie embraces both cultures; her English heritage through her love of HP sauce and freshly made Yorkshire Puddings, and her Scottish which is mostly demonstrated by her frighteningly foul-mouthed episodes of pure rage and her much loved dirty jokes.
Having been born and raised as a Teesside Smoggie, Tillie, at age nineteen, moved forty miles north to the 'Toon', Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, where she attended Newcastle University and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts honours degree in Religious Studies. She returned two years later to complete a Post-Graduate Certificate in Teaching High School Social Studies. Tillie, regards Newcastle to be a home from home and enjoyed the Newcastle Geordie way of life for seven 'proper mint' and 'lush' years.
One summers day, after finishing reading her thousandth book on her much loved and treasured Kindle, Tillie turned to her husband and declared, "D'you know, I have a great idea for a story. I could write a book." Several months later, after repeating the same tired line at the close of another completed story, she was scolded by her husband to shut up talking about writing a novel and "just bloody do it!" For the first time in eleven years, Tillie actually took his advice (he is still trying to get over the shock) and immediately set off on a crazy journey, delving deep into her fertile imagination.
Tillie, ever since, has written from the heart. She combines her passion for anything camp and glittery with her love of humour and dark brooding men (most often muscled and tattooed – they’re her weakness!). She also has a serious side (believe it or not!) and loves to immerse herself in the complex study of World Religions, History and Cultural Studies and creates fantasy stories that enable her to thread serious issues and topics into her writing -- yep, there's more to this girl than profanity and sparkles!
After six years of teaching high school Social Studies and following her Professional Rugby Player husband around Europe, they have finally given up their nomadic way of life and settled in Calgary, Alberta where Tillie spends most of her days (and many a late night) lost in a writing euphoria or pursuing a dazzling career as a barrel-racing, tasselled-chap wearing, Stetson-sporting cowgirl... Ye-haw!
What a great snippet of everyone's Valentine's Day! It's so nice to see how the couples are doing (all well, all deeply in love) without a nervous knot in my stomach waiting for something to happen. But that little nugget of teaser torture of Flame and Maddie.....GAHHH....I need their book NOW! August 11th can't come soon enough!!
What a sweet treat this novella was! Three parts: Styx, Ky, Flame and their love interests are featured. There's some comedic relief from Tank, Viking, and Beauty, too. Loved it!
This was everything I wanted to read and it made me decide to start reading this series again!!!! I loved how every couple got their special valentine’s day, and I’m curious to read about Flame and Maddie at length.
So excited to be trolling GR this morning and come across this quick novella about one of my fave MC boys!
It only makes me more excited for Flame's book which will be here before we know it! This is just one of those series that I don't want to end. Tillie Cole is such a gifted author. If you haven't checked out her work you are truly missing out!
Thank you Suzanne for sharing this gem with us all!

Las historias de Styx y Mae, y Ky y Lilah son súper románticas pero siempre SIEMPRE será lo mejor todo lo que tenga que ver con Flame y Maddie. Dios ese momento de la caja de chocolates y el leyendo la nota como si fuera un adolescente me enamoré perdidamente de ese hombre loco! Lo juro ❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is a short but very sweet snapshot into the Hades boys romantic efforts over valentines all slyly orchestrated by Beauty as she sneakily manipulates Ky and Styx into embracing their romantic side and treating their woman to some tender loving care Biker style.
It was warm and sweet and filled with lots of emotion and we even get some Maddie and Flame anticipation thrown into the mix. I’m actually further along on this series now like book seven but this definitely took me back in time whilst giving me all the feels. It is a novella and quite a short one perhaps ten to fifteen minutes reading tops but it’s well written and definitely brings some light and hope to cut through some of the darker moments of this series.
Klasik Sevgililer Günü novellası tadında ♡ Ky bebeğim ilk kitapta arkandan epey salladım affeyle beni ;) Styx canım her geçen bölüm aşık ediyorsun kendine ;) Flame aşkım... Sen de kendine bir zemin hazırladın hani. Sabırsızlıkla olaylarını ve şu 11'in anlamını merak ediyorum. Kıps ;)
I love how Beauty manipulate Styx and Ky into having a Valentine's Day for their Old Ladies. I love how Maddie came out of shell to say thank you to Flame. Love it
