***Release Blitz Review*** The Honey Trap by Karli Perrin

Posted on by Wendy Shatwell

The Honey Trap by Karli Perring

Released 13th September

Synopsis

After catching her childhood sweetheart cheating on her, Sophia Hamilton is hell-bent on stopping other women from getting played like she was.

And so the played becomes the player.

Fast forward two years and Sophia is now one of San Francisco’s most successful honey trappers. Getting paid to expose cheating men has become the norm but just when she thinks she has seen it all, she is offered a unique proposition which threatens to turn her entire world upside down.
Mason Hunter is a hotel tycoon, millionaire and cheater. Or is he? 

Sophia has six weeks to find out.

She quickly discovers that Mason isn’t the only one keeping secrets and she becomes caught up in a tangled web of lust, lies and misplaced loyalties.

Lines are crossed. Rules are broken. The real Mason Hunter is about to be exposed.

The hunt is on.
Our Review

Wendy’s 4.5 star Review

Sophia and Mason, an unconventional tale of The Honey Trap.  Would you spend your days trying to trap a man, would your man be trapped?  We’d all like to think not, no doubt.
Mason is set up by his rather conniving wife Emily to fall for the Honey Trap, that would be Sophia, but their first meeting does not really go to plan, and so the story unfolds.
Cue successful masculine hottie vs feisty, independent beauty = sexual chemistry oozing from the pages of this story.
You may be dubious about Sophia’s choice of career but there is good reason for her reasoning, and this has shaped her feelings, thoughts and future and brought her to where she is today.
While on the outside Mason may appear to have it all, he is in a loveless marriage.
I got to know Karli Perrin in 2013 when we got chatting over her book April Showers and the follow up to this April Fools, it was fun to meet a British Author in the Indie World and her books really shined.
So when she contacted me about The Honey Trap I knew I had to read it and I’m so glad I did.  I love good banter which gives me a good laugh and this had buckets of it between the characters and their friends, while keeping me on my toes with the plot and that bloody twist.
Congratulations to Karli on another excellent story, and if you haven’t read one of her books, I suggest you give this little British Author a try today.

Genre, YA Paranormal

Gravity Blurb

They are calling it the End of Days. The world is plunging into darkness, the days growing shorter and the nights longer. Meteor showers are falling to the earth and there are some who would take advantage of the growing darkness.

For sixteen-year-old Bronte Bell, her problems are closer to home. Since her birthday she’s become weaker, her bones breaking, her hair falling out and plagued with constant migraines. No one can explain why. Until a mysterious new boy arrives and tells her that everything is not as it seems. She is not what she seems.

Drawn into a war that divides the sky, Bronte is torn between her desire to save the world and her growing connection with Nick. But she will have to let go of reality as she knows it, if she is to accept her role in destiny before the Hunter, who has been tracking her since birth, finds and destroys any chance she has of making the choice which is her birthright to make.
Her destiny will change everything.

Velocity Blurb

Life for sixteen-year-old Bronte Bell has fallen apart around her—the man who raised her as his own is the enemy, the boy she loves is a Star, and her high school nemesis is her sister, and the other last star child. Life for Bronte couldn’t get much more complicated.
Except, she can’t remember a thing.

Willing to do whatever it takes to protect her; the Stars have secreted Bronte away in a glamoured life; one where she’s just a normal teenager with normal teenager problems. But piece by piece, and with the help of an unlikely ally, the truth unravels as the pull between Bronte and Nick refuses to extinguish. Only Nick has a secret—one that could change everything.
Will the fate of destiny fall with the full force of velocity?

Infinity Blurb

Bronte Bell is the last of the Star children, the last of her race, but there are those that would see her kind eradicated in a long running battle for darkness over the sky.
On her own and lost in space and time Bronte must try to find her own path towards her destiny while uncovering the truth about who she really is. When one discovery finds her at odds with her partnered soul, Nick, and fighting a broken heart, will Bronte be able to keep battling her way to the truth so long withheld.
With forces closing in, and friendships shattered in a war to destroy the world, Bronte must discover the true meaning of Infinity before she can fulfil her destiny and save those she loves.
But in war, freedom comes a price. Will it be a price she is willing to pay?

Meet the Author:


Writing erotic romance is the most fun I’ve ever had. (Well, except for the research.)

Many of my books are set in Washington, DC, where I lived and worked many years, running a public relations firm. In my PR career I’ve been fortunate to encounter or represent some of the city’s powerful insiders. I write, tweet and post under my pseudonym, Elizabeth SaFleur, since my clients might be a little shocked at how their counselor spends her free time. Then again, perhaps they’d fear they provided inspiration. (I’ll never tell.)

Today, I live  in Virginia with my husband and furry child. Occasionally I’m separated from my laptop to indulge in dance classes and visit wineries and hiking trails with family and friends. If there were a house fire, I’d grab my dog, laptop and five foot-long, regulation, Sally Rand ostrich feather fans — in that order. (Hubby knows the way out.)

I’m a member of the Romance Writers of America, Washington Romance Writers, and an ongoing student of fiction writing, as well as avid reader of general fiction and romance, especially the erotic kind.

Why would I want to read the Elkridge Series?  Each book in the Elkridge series is a piece to a puzzle—a suspenseful mystery involving the murder of a small-town sheriff. You get six contemporary romance books to figure out the mystery and a bunch of happy ever after (HEA) endings. Two novels in this fiction series—Blinded and Orphaned—are award-winning romance books.

Where is Elkridge, Colorado?  Elkridge exists only in my mind. On any given day, I can stop at River Creek Café for Jenna’s fresh baked cinnamon rolls, or shop for a birthday present at Mara’s Blooms, or get my nails done at Kym’s nail salon. Sitting in the park eating lunch, I can watch the kids play and hear the latest gossip from neighbors. Later, if I want, I can stop at Mad Jack’s to hear a local band play and get some dinner. Elkridge is a great small town where the sun shines 360 days a year and people do their best to make ends meet.

Would you tell us about your writing process?  It takes me awhile to write each stand-alone story because I am passionate about creating the very best stories for my readers. These contemporary romance books have complex plots and sub-plots and include suspense romance threads, with deep emotional women’s fiction elements, humor and even a bit of quirkiness. I’m so excited to see the 5-star ratings because it means I’ve created the ideal mix to provide readers with a few hours of enjoyment.  


Tara’s 5***** Review

The final book in the Elkridge Series, and Lyz did not disappoint. Tying all of stories together in this final book, Lyz probes the dark side of Elkridge with Rescued. 
“It really sucks letting people into your heart. They get to know every mood, tic and nuance. There isn’t a place to hide or find refuge from the hurt when things sour.”
When Karly and Thad part ways, they both decide that their lives will be better lived with help from no one. But when Thad is discharged from the military, and Karly’s business is threatened, both realize that it’s ok to rely on others, especially when Elkridge’s secrets come out of the shadows. 
“She didn’t want to have to worry about him leaving her again, the way her dad and brothers had. Why couldn’t Thad have just stayed away.”
This was a great end to a wonderful series. Lyz really does put all of her heart and soul into her books, and Rescued is no exception. Filled with heart, sadness, and heart stopping moments, Rescued is just what Elkridge needed. 
“Tentativeness made her breath short, but she slowed to take a deep breath. He’d been there for her. Support her. Believe in her. She knew that now. There wasn’t anything to be afraid of. Not anymore.”

Tara

RESCUED: Frequently Asked Questions: (FAQ)

Many of your books have challenging topics. Why?
The easiest explanation is that I believe everyone can be honorable, brave and loved no matter the circumstances. Blindness, domestic violence, and abuse can create fear and insecurities, yet each situation can be overcome with a gentle, patient, and healing love. In my heart, love begins with respect and the willingness to listen to gain mutual understanding. Without those two components, a relationship filled with love is hard to build.
How did the Elkridge story line develop?
I don’t want to spoil the series ending, but the series story arc started with Colorado legalizing marijuana, then it went from there. Question after question started popping into my head. The first question was, “How will the illegal drug trade change?” I started researching news articles on drug trafficking to find answers. Then one day a story formed. I’m glad I had my research notes when I talked to an FBI agent to nail down technical aspects of the story. Otherwise, he might have been a little more curious about why I was asking such in-depth questions. There is a saying, “Don’t judge me by my search engine history, I’m a writer.” {grin}
You say you write about honorable men and brave women, but your characters are so flawed.
Everyone can be a hero just by offering a smile, holding a door for another, or opening a medicine bottle for a person with arthritis. Heroes aren’t only those individuals who accomplish grand gestures. We may feel a smile is insignificant, but to the person on the receiving end, we might just have made that person’s day. Being a hero isn’t always about rescuing a child, or stopping a bank robbery, it can also be about the little things in life that bring joy.
Would you ever do a spin off of the other characters introduced in the Elkridge series?
I love this question! What a great way to introduce the Lonely Ridge spin-off series. I chose to differentiate the Lonely Ridge series from the Elkridge set because this group of books will not have the mystery thread included in the Elkridge series. Each new book will be a stand-alone love story and will include the quirky characters from the town I’ve come to love. I’m hoping to have the first book in this new series out in time for Christmas.
