NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER OF UGLY AND MISTRUST
**Write something worth reading**

I'm Margaret and I'm a self-published author.
Recently I was fortunate in obtaining New York Times best selling status on my YA/NA book - Ugly, and my YA book - Mistrust.
​
My last three books have been YA and I'm completely in love with the genre. I love being able to communicate with people through my words and stories.
​
My writing genres all differ, but the one thing I keep consistent is my heroines. All my female lead characters are strong, gutsy and not the 'perfect' woman. While my books all have romantic elements in them, they aren't just about the romance. They're about finding strength, acceptance and making life long connections.
​
I hope you enjoy my stories as much as I have while writing them.

_______________________________

Being young is all about the experiences: the first time you skip school, the first time you fall in love…the first time someone holds a gun to your head.

After being held hostage during a robbery at the local convenience store, seventeen-year-old Edie finds her attitude about life shattered. Unwilling to put up with the snobbery and bullying at her private school, she enrolls at the local public high school, crossing paths with John. The boy who risked his life to save hers.

While Edie’s beginning to run wild, however, John’s just starting to settle down. After years of partying and dealing drugs with his older brother, he’s going straight—getting to class on time, and thinking about the future.

An unlikely bond grows between the two as John keeps Edie out of trouble and helps her broaden her horizons. But when he helps her out with another first—losing her virginity—their friendship gets complicated.

Meanwhile, Edie and John are pulled back into the dangerous world they narrowly escaped. They were lucky to survive the first time, but this time they have more to lose—each other.

From Trust.....

“You were going to give it up to Duncan Dickerson?” he sneered. “Are you serious?”

I halted, staring at him. This was not good. “How do you know about that?”

“Anders overheard you and Hang talking.”

“Bastard.”

“Well?” he demanded, acting all authoritarian. Idiot.

“To be fair, I didn’t know his last name was Dickerson,” I said. “That’s unfortunate. Though, I wasn’t actually planning on marrying him, so . . .”

“Not funny.”

I shrugged.

“You barely know the guy.”

“Um, yeah. None of your concern. We’re not talking about this.” How mortifying! My face burned bright. People should just gather around and cook s’mores. “I appreciate that we’re friends. You mean a lot to me. But this is going to have to fall under definitely none of your damn business, so go away please.”

“We’re talking about it.” He advanced a step.

“No we are not.” And I retreated.

“You were going to let a complete stranger touch you.” Advance.

Retreat. “People do it all the time. You do it all the time.”

“But you don’t,” he said, taking the final step, backing me up against the side of his car and getting all in my face. “Edie, this is your first time we’re talking about. Isn’t it?”

“Yes, and it’s going to be messy and painful and probably horribly embarrassing and I just want it over and done with.” I tried to meet his eyes but failed, settling for a spot on his right shoulder. “You’re not a girl; you wouldn’t understand. Also, last time I checked, you’re not the gatekeeper of my hymen, John Cole. So back the fuck off.”

He said nothing.

Deep, calming breaths. “Look, someday I’ll meet someone I really like and we’ll have a deep and meaningful relationship and go at it like bunnies. But I don’t want to be the dumb virgin in that scenario.”

He slowly shook his head.

“Also, I do not want to die a virgin.”

“What? What the hell are you talking about?”

“Hey, you and I both know death can occur at any time.”

“This is crazy.”

“I’m seeing a therapist!” I told his shoulder. “I don’t know if you noticed, but I’m a little bit messed up these days. It’s hard for me to trust people. That’s not going to change anytime soon.”

He screwed up his face at me. “Wha—”

“I’m just trying to be practical.”

“Well, you’re being ridiculous. None of this makes sense.”

“It does to me.”

Again, he said nothing.

In fact, he said nothing for so long that I finally looked him in the eye. The anger had left him, replaced by an emotion I didn’t recognize. Worst of all, he still smelled like summer. A little sweat and the open night air, everything I loved. Liked. I meant liked.

“What?” I said, finally.

He let loose a breath. “I’ll do it.”

Trust is an absolutely beautiful novel. It's gritty and raw, romantic and passionate and perfect if you love Abbi Glines and Colleen Hoover. I LOVED IT and can't recommend it enough!

 

Book Shelf: One More Chance (Chance #2) by Abbi Glines

Grant Carter did everything in his power to convince Harlow Manning that he was a good guy. More than a smooth-talker and someone she could trust. He had to overcome his reputation as a playboy, and his history with Harlow's half-sister, Nan, a woman with a reputation of her own.

Harlow had taken the chance, falling hard and fast for the guy who thrilled her with his all-consuming desire. After a lifetime of avoiding bad boys like Grant, she had opened herself to the possibilities of love...

But a life-changing secret has torn them apart, and now Grant and Harlow must decide if they have enough fight to make it work - or if the pain of betrayal has permanently destroyed their future.

Review:

One More Chance is the emotional conclusion to Grant and Harlow’s two part story and proves to be another sizzling and at times heart warming tale by Abbi Glines!

Picking up almost two months where the last book left off, One More Chance continues to tell Grant and Harlow’s story now that Grant has been made aware of Harlow’s condition. With an unexpected development putting Harlow’s life in even more danger, Grant and Harlow face their toughest fight ever if they hope to have any kind of future together.

Abbi Glines weaves Grant and Harlow’s sensual romance together with plenty of endearing moments of friendship, love and sweet, tender moments in One More Chance. Personally I really love the way Abbi Glines writes her stories but I was quite delighted to find that One More Chance featured less romantic drama than normally included in a Glines novel.

Now, don’t get me wrong—I enjoy the delicious, almost teenage drama that seems to fill these kinds of novels but I appreciated the lack of cheating, insecurity, pain and constant breakups and reconciliations that seem to be at the center of most NA novels. It was refreshing to see two people face a different kind of obstacle and see nothing but love and commitment shared and expressed by them.

Grant and Harlow have come such a long way, and as I previously mentioned are so very sweet and tender towards each other in this novel. As expected with the previous book’s ending, Grant and Harlow do face getting back together in this book and reconciling, but it was nice to see how devoted and sure of their love for one another they were in this book.

Glines continues to write her trademark sexy and sensual moments, and Grant and Harlow current situation do nothing to dampen their desire for one another, if anything Harlow is like Blaire and they’re more addicted to each other physically than ever.

There are some very cute moments in this novel as well as a few surprises. Case in point; if ever a book showcased the possibility that there may be redemption possible for Nanette it's Once More Chance. I may face losing friends over saying this statement, but I’m ready…..ready to fall in love with Nan. She’s been the villain in the series for so long that I think it’s time Abbi Glines writes a different side to Nan. It may quite possibly be the hardest book Glines ever writes but I’m really excited about the prospect of seeing Nan get a HEA and seeing someone manage to see the good inside her and win her heart. I'd even go so far as to say Major?

Overall One More Chance is a delightfully endearing and emotional ending to Grant and Harlow's tale. Romantic, sweet and sensual--another great Abbi Glines novel!

_______________________  

What do you think? Isn't this a wonderful trailer?!? I love how it features the series cover models--makes it more authentic!

No one is like Daemon Black.

When he set out to prove his feelings for me, he wasn’t fooling around. Doubting him isn’t something I’ll do again, and now that we’ve made it through the rough patches, well... There’s a lot of spontaneous combustion going on.

But even he can’t protect his family from the danger of trying to free those they love.

After everything, I’m no longer the same Katy. I’m different... And I’m not sure what that will mean in the end. When each step we take in discovering the truth puts us in the path of the secret organization responsible for torturing and testing hybrids, the more I realize there is no end to what I’m capable of. The death of someone close still lingers, help comes from the most unlikely source, and friends will become the deadliest of enemies, but we won’t turn back. Even if the outcome will shatter our worlds forever.

Together we’re stronger... and they know it.
