BLOG TOUR: A Brutal Betrayal by DC Renee



Title: A Brutal Betrayal 
Author: DC Renee
Genre: Contemporary 
Release Date: September 30, 2014


Synopsis:

Past. Everyone has one. It shapes the person they become. It determines the present. It even contributes to the future. And sometimes, people are thrown together in spite of it. 

It was no secret that Megan Verona was raped. It crippled her being, turning her from a vibrant young woman to someone who feared intimacy. After years of struggling, she decided to seek help with a therapist, Declan Connors, in hopes of being able to finally have a relationship. Declan wanted to help Megan; he wanted to help everyone who sought his aid, but she was different. She consumed his thoughts until he could no longer deny his feelings. He hadn’t expected to fall for her and fall hard, but he did. It was a wonder when she returned some of his sentiment. But, like everyone, Declan also has a past, one riddled with pain and anguish, one he hadn’t fully dealt with. 

If helping Megan brought out his own shadows, what did loving her do? How do both their pasts play a role in their future? Most importantly, can they conquer the past that threw them together?

Purchase:

Review:
If you are looking for an emotional ride, this is your book. 
Megan and Declan are both damaged. Both trying to overcome tragedies in their past that they are determined not to let ruin their future. They didn't count on the feelings that would develop.
The story is about healing and overcoming what appears to be the impossible. The obstacles that are thrown in Megan and Declan's way will either make them or break them. It will force them both to take a hard look at their lives and figure out what's worth fighting for and what you have to let go. I wasn't prepared for the amount of emotions I went through reading this book. A 4 star must read for any angst lover.

Review & Giveaway: Let Me Go by DC Renee

Title: Let Me Go

Author: DC Renee

Genre: Romance

Publication Date: March 19,2014

Tour Host: Dreams Come True Promotions
Rape. One word changed his life. Mason Tredwell had it all. He was a good looking,

well respected doctor. He had money, power, friends, and never worried about finding

a woman to warm his bed. But, that all changed when he was wrongfully accused of

rape. And now, after five years in prison and the loss of everything he cared about, he

wants revenge.

Abandoned as a baby and bounced around different foster homes, Kat Gingham never

really had a charmed life. But now, things are really falling apart. She has no money,

no job, and even her lying, cheating boyfriend is gone too. She allows herself one

night to cry about her situation before she picks herself back up. Kat falls asleep,

safe in her bed, but when she wakes up, she’s no longer at home, and she’s no longer

alone. She’s facing Mason, a guy who claims she ruined his life. And he’s hell bent on

breaking her down, humiliating her, just like she supposedly did to him.

The problem is that she claims she has no clue what he is talking about, but he doesn’t

believe her, declaring facts don’t lie.

Is Kat lying? Can she convince Mason to let her go? Or is fate playing a role in why

they were thrown into this together?

This story was the most frustrating read I've read in a long time.....in a GOOD way people. Never have I wanted 2 people to see past their own issues than Mason and Kat.  Mason is a tortured soul who was went through hell and no wants revenge. He was a good person, with an excellent career, he had the world by the balls, then the accusation. 
 Kat feels like her world is falling apart. Her boyfriend is a schlub, she has no job, and no money. What happens next will change her life forever. 
 Throughout the entire book you saw glimpses of the man Mason once was. He believed in his plan, for the most part. Humiliation was key to his payback, and sis he ever humiliate Kat. But he never went too far, I don't think he had it in him. 
 Poor Kat is clueless. Obviously talking isn't working so she goes along with whatever Mason throws at her hoping that one day he WILL believe her.  She is determined he will not see her cry and slowly she finds herelf wanting to help Mason find whoever it was that ruined his charmed life. 
 My favorite character throughout the book was Benny. There was something about Mason's old buddy from prison that makes me want to beg for his own story. He's loyal, witty, wise beyond his years and above all he has a good heart. I'm shameless...GIVE BENNY A STORY! Ok, I'm done now. 
 Mason is a stubborn human being. One of the more stubborn of male leads I've read in a while(sorry Drew Kelley).  I felt horrible for what he went through and just wanted to him see what was right in front of his face the whole time. Kat honestly has no clue why Mason is hellbent on revenge. When it finally comes out, she is floored. She wouldn't do that, she could never do that, but he will not believe her. With the facts stacked against her, how can she prove herself? And how can she fight the fact that Mason has become more than her captor and when the hell did that happen? 
 Their story isn't always a happy one, but these two are so lovable you root for them the whole time. I anted to bang their heads together more than once. Fate has a way of stepping in on our unconventional couple and forces them to face things they weren't ready to face. I adore these two characters. I hoped for the best for them. I wanted them to have their Happy Ever After. So do they? Guess you'll have to click those buy links to find out won't you? 

About me, huh? Hmmm, let's see...some fun facts: I'm in my late twenties, I'm

married to a great guy who likes to drive me crazy sometimes, but I love it and him,

I am one of those people that when asked to do something says "No...Yes" (yeah, I

know, I'm stuck in the 90's), I am a total nerd (like you couldn't tell), I am a Trojan

(Fight On!), I work in health insurance (fun times-well, I actually work with my sis,

so I guess they technically are fun times), I am way too close to my fam and I feel like

I'm forgetting something, hmm...oh yeah, I LOVE to read and write!!!


1. I hate onions, but I love onion flavored things like Funyuns or onion dip.

2. I can’t mix too many veggies together. For example, I love carrots, but I’ll pick

them out of a salad. I don’t like lettuce on my tacos or burgers.

3. I love dancing! (Not professionally, although I have taken plenty of classes over the

years.) I supposedly bopped my head to the music before I could walk.

4. I go to Zumba & Latin Jam every week.

5. I played the piano until I was in college. I can read music, but I hated to do so, so I

used to play everything from memory.

6. I speak Russian fluently, but I read like a first grader. Don’t get me started on

spelling.

7. I work at the same company (and same building) as my sister, so I see her every

day. We’re really close.

8. My sister and I have a 9 year age difference (and were born 4 days apart). We used

to celebrate all our birthdays together. (Ironically, my mom and her sister also have a

9 year difference.)

9. I was born on groundhogs day (2/2). It’s also my aunt’s birthday too.

10. My favorite number is 22 (hmmm…I wonder how I got that). My husband’s

favorite number is also 22 because he was born 1/22.

11. My first stories were Days of Our Lives fan fictions. They are still up on the

website under my screen name fan22.

12. I got my Bachelors degree and my Masters degree from the University of

Southern California. Go Trojans! (My sister also went there and got the same degrees

I did – I guess you could say I followed in her footsteps.)

13. My whole family loves watching hockey, so it’s no wonder it’s my favorite sport.

I love the Los Angeles Kings! (Root for the home team always!)

14. I love Bon Jovi and have seen him/them in concert 5 times.

15. My favorite rose is Fire on Ice. It’s white on the outside and red inside, so that

when it blooms, it looks like red on white.

16. I was on the show The Great Pretenders when I younger. We were put into groups

and dressed up and lip-synched songs chosen for us. I played the guitarist for The Go-
Go’s singing Our Lips Are Sealed.

17. I love to sketch as a hobby, but I can’t sketch people at all. I usually sketch

flowers.

18. I was my sister’s maid-of-honor at the age of 15. I didn’t get to go to her

bachelorette party.

19. My favorite color is blue, so much so that my wedding colors were ivory and blue.

20. I’ve been married for 3 years, but been with my hubby for over 8 years.
