Blurb
 

Calvin Edward’s life has been tipped upside down, never had he imagined encounter his first one true love. Only she held a massive secret from him for nine years— his son. His flesh and blood. How could have Sophie denied ever telling him about his child, now adopted to another family? Struggling with his emotions for Sophie, he has to deal with how to handle his son. Could he find it in his heart to forgive Sophie or is all lost?

 
Sophie Richards couldn’t believe the turn of events— how could the man who saved her turn out to be her first partner? Now the truth is out, her secrets discovered and finally she shared all her pain, never to have imagined the one man who showed her true care and affection is the father to her first child. She loves him, only Calvin resents her. How could she ever say sorry?


 
 
Excerpt
 
 
“I’m deeply sorry about earlier. I was upset that you had gone through hell and it was all my fault, if I hadn’t got you…”

Sophie placed her finger against his lips.

“Ssh! Don’t talk that way, no-one knew how things were going to turn out including myself. I did what was right for Sabastian and whether you agree or not, it happened. I cannot re-write the past, but what I can do is think about the future, but right now I have to take care of Kacey,” she informed him whilst gazing deeply into his eyes.

He thinned his eyes distraught, “But I said some vicious things.”

“That was anger and pain and I understand all that, but please don’t hate me for making the choices I had. Trust me, there hasn’t been a day I haven’t thought about Sabastian and what he’s doing. I love that boy with all my heart. He knows who I am, trust me…it had never been easy. And afterwards I sobbed, I still sob, just seeing him and seeing how happy he is makes my heart ease a little. But every single day of my life I’m haunted by walking out of their house. I was so cut up, like someone had stabbed me and tore out my heart.”

“I know…and it couldn’t have been easy for you. And he is happy and being well looked after?” he asked inquisitively.

“Yes, I wouldn’t leave him there otherwise. If I knew they were harming a hair on his head, I would call the police and have him out,” she stated.

Calvin sucked in a deep breath.

“I’m sorry,” he added, scrunching up his adorable face.

Her heart warmed, delighted he had come back to talk about the matter. She knew earlier he’d been cut up, now that they were sitting talking back to the way they were before she announced Sabastian. Her heart slowly being put back together.

“Can I see Kacey?”

Sophie smiled at him. She stood up. There was nothing more she’d love than him to be standing next to her by her daughter’s incubator. They walked into the unit and both stood overlooking her precious little girl watching her kicking and waving her arms around, getting stronger by the minute.

“I will have to go back to London tomorrow,” he announced.

“Okay,” she gulped, not wanting him to see how gutted she was.

Calvin’s a man she would move heaven on earth to make happy, he was unique, charming, and funny at times when he wished to be. Things had been far too serious recently loving to see him smile once again. When Calvin smiled, he gleamed his white teeth, eyes glowed and had this sweet thing of scrunching up his cute nose.

“Anyway…I had better be making a move, but you have my number…”

She furrowed her brows whilst gazing into his eyes.

“You deleted it like I told you too…gosh, must be a first a woman doing as her told.” He chuckled.

Review Book 1
 
 
Found on Amazon.com
 
Excellent portrayal of life with meaningful lessons for us all.   OMG! The first page began with a scary drama then settled into page after page with sad thoughts about the past. After a few chapters, BAM! the mother of all bombs ignited and literally everyone was crying. And the surprising revelations don't end there. Over and over Kacey and Calvin torment themselves with thoughts of guilt, regret and agonized over "What if..." This plot is an intensive snapshot of real life. We make the best decision we can at the moment with all the understanding, facts and maturity we have. But on down the road, as we grow in understanding, knowledge and maturity, we tend to look back and second guess ourselves. Hindsight has 20/20 vision. The lesson in life is to accept what was....understand and forgive our decisions and actions...and move forward, accepting what is, learning from our so called"mistakes". Excellent portrayal of life with meaningful lessons for us all. Five Stars.

Book Release Blitz For Innocence


Wow, time is just rushing by I cannot believe we are already into August and have overheard people talking about buying Christmas presents, personally I buy like a week before, leaving everything to the last minute, but this year I have plans, big plans to get organized.

I have this month some amazing events my grandbabies. I am grateful enough to have twins a girl and boy and they have a big day approaching their christening, I cannot believe they are already eight months old, rolling over, attempting to sit on their own, their smiles on their cheeky faces is enough to melt my heart. My daughter brought a t-shirt for my grandson saying 'mum says no but nana says yes' I will confess once I see them, I just give in, well what's the use in being a nana if you cannot spoil them? I have my own birthday coming up with a holiday and fingers crossed me and hubby are going camping. Yes, I love camping, we have found a super spot close to York England where no under sixteen's are allowed, a small idyllic setting with a large fishing pond, my hubby gets to fish while I sit and write or read with nothing but the sound of the birds and the blowing of the trees to annoy me. My idea of heaven!

Where am I with my books? Well I am super excited as I have sent of the cover art questions to my publisher for the front cover of Innocence Of Love, book 2 in the Innocence series, now with book 2 looming in the background and with the editor its soon going to be hyping up, exciting times.

Now first, I have book 1 to shout out, get out in the big wide world and I have teamed with Book Pimpers to do a Book Release Blitz five day book tour to celebrate the 1st book in the series Innocence.

I am calling on author, bloggers, readers, anyone who might be able to precipitate in the tour, even if its just a tweet, anything just to help boost for this sweet adult romance series, that's full of emotion

Review of Amazon US

Wow! Innocence is an emotionally-charged read from the first page to the last. I could not stop reading. This is not a pretty story, but one of rough, edgy feelings that had me sheading a few tears. I fell in love with Calvin, a man who is not afraid to show his feelings and acknowledge his pain. While this story has strong romantic elements, it is a tale of the consequences of decisions made in the past and how they affect Kacey’s life irrevocably. I look forward to continuing her life’s journey in the next books in the series.



Now to take part all I ask is for you to sign up by using this link Book Release Blitz for Innocence. I look forward to any help received.

Happy reading! Happy writing!

The promoting side of being an author is the hardest part, gaining the traffic to your book and hoping you've done enough to collect some happy sales. Thankfully I have already received a 5* review on Amazon and here its is...

Well I've enjoyed all of Holly 's previous books ,but this one was written in a completely different direction to her others . I wasn't sure what to expect . Well what can I say other than 'when is book two out' . Loved it from beginning to end , you could feel both of their pain on the decisions life had put in front of them .not sure where to go who to turn too, yet she came through it all and is still fighting. What a roller coaster ride she had ,then after all those years she meets a man who seems to care about her ,like no one has for such a long time ,only to find he was the someone she had to run away from ,frightened he would disown her like her mother did . Bringing her mother to mind as someone I would like to disown , treating her daughter the way she did ,leaving her homeless , helpless on the streets vulnerable .while she carries on leading a normal life .. what amazes me is they all feel there suffering more ! They haven't lived the life of hell she has ,quitting her family ,giving something precious up ..well without telling you the whole story , this was a book I enjoyed from beginning till end ....

Smiley face clapping and dancing, it always delights me when someone has enjoyed my hard work. All that time and dedication, pays off, of course any author would wish for more interest, but Innocence has only been out a few days lol
