Indulging in Irelyn
Blurb -
NFL quarterback, Zolt Hamil was America’s heartthrob until a career ending injury changed his life. Years later, he’s picked up the pieces and carved out a new path for himself. But the mental and physical scars of that day have left him moody and reclusive, and his only relief is indulging in pleasure and pain with his many one night stands. Though many of women have tried, Zolt refuses to care about any of them. Only one woman has his heart; a hallucination of a young, sable-eyed, blonde beauty whom he conjured that painful day on the football field.
On the first day at his new job at a law firm in Scottsdale, Arizona, Zolt comes face to face with his hallucination, Irelyn Wilkes. Their fateful connection, and explosive passion for each other pulls them together, and this time, Zolt refuses to let her slip from his life.
But Irelyn has her own demons to fight, and her controlling boyfriend is one of them. He doesn't take kindly to other people playing with his toys, and he’ll stop at nothing to keep her by his side.
Can Irelyn and Zolt defy the odds and find a way to be together? Or, will the events set in motion years ago keep them apart forever?

Krystle's Thoughts
I was asked to be a beta-reader for
this book, and I fell in love with it! I blew thru it in about a day
and was left wanting more, it had a nice even flow that made you not
want to put it down. This is quite different than what I'm used to
reading from this author, since I've only read her Fantasy-Romance.
Now seeing that she can also write a Smexy Contemporary-Romance with
a bite of tasteful eroticism, I truly know I'm a fan for life.
The story's point of views are split by
both the main heroine Irelyn, and the main hero, Zolt. We learn
pretty early on that Zolton is a conceited A$$-hole, who likes to
have H-I-S way with women – no repeats with them when he's thru
with them, either – or driving his viper at
way-the-hell-too-fast-speeds, as a coping mechanism for relieving
stress in his what seems like “cushy” life. He's a swanky lawyer
now-a-days, but years ago, he was the star quarterback for the
Arizona Cardinals. That dream was taken from him due to a career
ending knee injury. When he was taken down on the field, he laid,
sprawled out in excruciating pain. He couldn't scream out in agony
for the pain he was feeling, he just looked over on the sidelines and
found refuge in the eyes of a beautiful girl. A girl he thought he'd
conjured up as his own “Seraph”
With Zolt starting new job at a firm
back in Arizona where he used to play football, he finds out that his
“Seraph”...is real, and that she's also his new boss' daughter!
Ouch! Kind of puts him in an awkward position. Should he make it big
with his new boss and leave Irelyn alone, or see if what they had out
on the field all those years ago still exists. Now come on, this
wouldn't be an awesome romantic story if he let the girl of his
dreams get away from him now, would it? Ha-ha!! I really loved the
chemistry that Zolt and Irelyn had with each other, it's what made me
stay up into the late hours of the night reading!
What's even wilder about this book is
that Irelyn's current boyfriend, Marcus, is a super creepy troll. He
treats Irelyn as if she's some sort of possession of his and not a
woman he cares for, or even a human being at all, seeing that he gave
her a “dog collar” to wear and all. Later on in the book you'll
find out what the “dog collar” is all about, and that's something
I really didn't see coming!!
I can't wait for book 2 and 3 and 4 (if
she writes that many for this series) !! Thanks for letting me get an
early start on this book Dawna! :)

Sky's Thoughts
Yikes, *fans self*
Just finished my beta read for this book, and lemme tell ya, make sure you have a cold drink of your choice handy, hell, maybe even a rag to dab away at the sweat that will break across your neck and forehead LOL.
Irelyn is the type of female MC I adore; she’s strong, full of ambitions and has a good head on her shoulders.
Zolt, a bad boy with no qualms to his actions and an ex-quarter back for the NFL who took a career-ending blow to his knees mid-game by a later to be found out bounty job, took the time to go back to school and is now a successful and a highly sought out lawyer by other employers.
Now working for a new law firm several years after the tragic mishap on the field, serendipity takes its course.
The girl with soulful brown eyes and blonde hair who has haunted his dreams every night since that dreadful day as he lay sprawled out on the turf in pain, the girl he was so sure was just a hallucination nothing more other than an ethereal image his mind created as he lay there injured, to help him overcome the pain and help him see through it… is now staring back at him through a family portrait on his new employers desk. His seraph, it’s her.
Zolt is shocked back to life and his world is suddenly turned upside down and begins to change deep inside more than he would have ever expected.
While this story is soooo freaking steamy and hot, there is also an underlying issue that keeps the reader gripped into the story with page-turning suspense. Irelyn has to end her relationship with her no-good controlling boyfriend whom she felt she inherited anyway because her daddy has a close relationship with and was her deceased brother’s best friend. Little does she know, just how difficult a task that will be. The domineering piece of **it had a dark, hidden agenda for his pretty and has her marked for…well no spoilers, and like I said I was going to keep this short for *now* LOL, oops. 0=)
But leaving Marcus will not be easy as he has, unknowing to her, plans that will severely degrade her lower than she deserves. As the story progresses, Zolt received vital information that put him in the know after a friend with connections had helped him investigate a mysterious case Ire’s father bestowed on him for suspicious reasons, and tries his damndest to bring it to her attention, and he will do what it takes to protect her.
Zolt is an alpha hero that I could fall in love with over and over again. His pride and alpha streak remains, but his heart grows full for a woman just perfect for him, and blows away every rule he had ever made for himself when it came to relations.
Can’t wait for book two T_T
I will update this once the book goes live!
I CAN’T WAIT FOR YOU ALL TO READ THIS! I am telling everyone LOLOL
