So we walked away from RAW devastated and sure that we were
going to be left on that ending. Then we found out that Belle was writing
another one for Julius and I have to be honest I was incredibly apprehensive
about putting myself through that again. But then I had to know. So I picked it
up and literally couldn’t put it down.
I cooked dinner with it in one hand while I sobbed over the
horrors Ana had experienced at the hands of the people who loved her. The way
her story started I loved how sweet she was but I had this idea in my head of
who I thought she was going to turn into as I watched the sharp decent her life
took. I expected this hard, bitter, manipulative bitch (you know kind of like
Ling) so when she was just so broken but still so sweet I was torn between
wanting to wrap her up in a blanket and cuddle her and shake her and tell her
to get a back bone and to not trust anyone.
Julius was awesome and I loved him in Raw so much but damn did
he need his arse kicked for the way this story played out. Luckily for him he
redeemed himself so perfectly I think I could forgive him almost anything. Ling
I have hated from the start and although my heart breaks for all she went
through I am sincerely waiting to see the bullet pierce her cold dead heart.
Now I do need to say there was a lot of this book that didn’t
work for me and I had a lot of WTF moments where I just felt like maybe we had
skipped over something or several things but then the story dragged me back in
and I suspended my disbelief and got wrapped back up in what was happening. I had
an idea of how the various character’s stories would collide and the Twitch
mystery would be unveiled to Julius so I did feel a little disappointed in the
way that played out. And like I said I hated Ling so much I feel she ruined a
lot of the story between Julius and Ana but I get that we are probably being
set up for more in the next book.
As per usual a lot of people died and some of them were the
wrong people so I felt like I got my heart stomped on again and again and every
time I stopped crying I would end up holding my breath waiting for the next
trauma. And despite the three epilogues (all ridiculously too short) I feel
like everything is still so unfinished I both curse and applaud Belle Aurora
for her talent in leaving me on that knifes edge. It literally took me two
hours after putting this book down to compose myself enough to go to sleep at
3am. Hopefully we don’t have to wait as long for the next one.

AUTHOR BIO
Belle Aurora is twenty seven years old and was born in the land down under.
At an early age she fell in love with reading. Boredom one summer had her scouring the bookshelves at home. She stumbled across Sandra Brown's Breath of Scandal and fell in love with romance.
Having been brought up in a loud and boisterous family of Croatian descent, she developed a natural love for dramatics and humor. Only some years ago had she discovered a new love.
Humorous romance novels.
Kristen Ashley and R.L. Mathewson had opened a brand new world where she could lose herself yet feel safe and at home in their stories. Belle has been known to become a screeching banshee while anxiously awaiting their newest titles.
Belle never thought she would write. It had never interested her until recently. Friend-Zoned began to form and in February 2013 Belle typed the words Chapter One. And she fell in love.
With words.
With writing.
With a creative imagination she never knew she harbored.
Friend-Zoned is the first in the Friend-Zoned series. Keep an eye out for this cheeky author.

Willing Captive by Belle AuroraMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Ok I read the blurb and the author's note and I still put off reading this thinking it was going to be something I wasn't in the right emotional space to read. I am happy to admit I am an idiot. This book was awesome. It made me run the whole gamut of emotions but the main feeling I had was one of falling in love. That is after I stopped laughing at Lily's arguments with her brain and her smart ass comments.
I don't know if it's the books I chose or if it's all the books out at the moment but this is the first book in a long time I can honestly say that I watched Lily and Nox fall in love and I felt it right along with them.
My knees sting like hell but I don’t utter a word of complaint, because let’s face it, Nox doesn’t seem like the giver of fucks.
So first impressions seem to be a little less than flattering as far as Lily goes but luckily for us (and the story) Nox shows some redeeming features other than the ones under his clothes although maybe we should check those ones out first ;)
But then we get inside Nox's head and we can't help but get a little swoony.
She's pretty. And when I say pretty, I mean pretty. And she doesn't even know it. Which doesn't help me in the slightest. Her long, dark-reddish hair has half come out of its ponytail. It's thick and has a wave to it. Her face is clear and her skin has a peaches - and - cream thing going on. She's pale. Almost like she's never seen the sun, but it suits her. Her bright - green eyes are encased by long dark lashes. She doesn't wear a stitch of makeup. She's naturally pretty. But that hair ....... that fucking hair. I haven't seen anything like it.
And he just keeps getting sweeter and more perfect and we watch the depth of emotion between them deepen.
Until finally
This book was awesome and I really regret that I didn't read it sooner but I am REALLY glad that I get to encourage you to pop your cherry so you all can hit me up to discuss the awesomeness as you read it.
