Broken Love

Everyone began to thank the lord for the saving of my brother’s soul. I sent a warning to the heaven and hells for they were to prepare for the destruction of my own.
Lucy is a young self- confessed bibliophile who like many others found solace and happiness in the world of literature. Currently living in England but hopes to immigrate to America for the flashy life or anywhere with sun. As a single parent to a beautiful young boy Lucy spends most of her time keeping her boisterous energetic boy happy or working to pay for his big appetite. Unfortunately she is yet to meet her very own Roman or JD but luckily there are enough book-boyfriends to occupy her time. As this is the first novel of many to come Lucy would love any feedback about her work and enjoys getting in touch with fellow readers.

My first book has come to an end and part of me prays you are as much of an emotional mess as I seem to be. I have poured my heart and soul into this story; whilst Lily and Roman continue to live out their fairy tale in my head. The character of Lily was always going to be a risky one as she unintentionally portrayals so much of myself. My fellow bibliophiles and supporters helped me gain the courage to release this into world. When entering the book world I fell in love with the escape from reality, losing myself in people’s words and falling in love with the stories and characters that now claim a place in my heart. I was inspired so much that I made the decision to put pen to paper and give voice to my own characters that live through me. Along this journey I have been blessed with friendships, flattery and bonds I know will never whither. I love to think that this book world we all find refuge in can be our very own Lily – a salvation from the loneliness. Throughout Broken Love many scenes and parts will be questioned on their relevance but trust me it is for a purpose. Roman and Lily’s story will continue in book five of The Illusion Series ‘Infinite Love’ but you will also see glimpses of their story throughout the other releases. Their story is far from over.
“There are no faster of firmer friendships than those formed between people who love the same books.”

First I want to take this opportunity to thank every single follower on my Instagram. My InstaGirls / book sisters are the very reason I strived so hard to finish this book and give you all Roman Court. I could not possibly name all of you but just know each and every single one of you are very much appreciated. The people I have met and the friendships I have created will by far be my favourite thing about this entire journey.
My family – thank you for gifting me with your genes and making me this awesome combination of crazy and weird. My mom – for being the perfect example of a kick ass mother doing it on her own.
THANK YOU STEPHEN JAMES FOR BEING THE MOST BEAUTIFUL MAN TO GRACE THE EARTH. I wonder if you will ever know how truly worshipped you are.
The main person I need to thank is my son. Every day you are living proof that I can achieve great things and you make me want to be the best possible version of myself so that you are proud to call me your mom. You are my tomorrow.
Alicia and Lunalei – You two naughty girls are the first two people I was blessed enough to meet and eased me into the crazy book world. You are both the definition of beautiful on the inside and out. Thank you so much for all of your help. I flove you both! Ali – out of all my followers you totally get dibbs on Roman!
Jerilyn and Sammie – Oh my god. Where do I even start with you two? Your interest in Roman has warmed my heart and your hilarious hashtags have kept me going through long nights of editing and re-writes. When I think of you two I automatically class you together because you are the cutest friends ever. I love you both! You both also led me to Jill who made me part of the most kick ass book group to ever exist.
Cole – You listed my book as your most anticipated release, that day you made my heart smile. All the amazing books to be released and you chose mine, Thank you!
Laurie – My Peyton inspiration, you are beautiful on the inside and out. I love our snaps and book sharing, you are now my go-to girl for a good book rant!
Alma – My conscience. Thank you for believing in my characters enough to help me give Albie her story. Forever my woman crush Wednesday, I love you girl!
Maria, Brittany T and Sissi– You ladies are the kindest, most beautiful souls ever! I love each and every one of you. In such a short space of time no matter how far apart I have come to build friendships that I hope to never lose.
Saylor – I just want to get lost in your brain. I’m demanding now that Monday madness never ends. I love you and your beautiful soul!
Brittany and Amanda – You girls will be the death of me with your beautiful teasers, I love them so much!
Jill, Stacey and Vivian – thank you for being my eyes and ears when it came to perfecting my book!
Ramzi –Where do I start with you? I love you infinity. This book would most likely not have even happened if it was not for you and your words of wisdom! I owe you my life. You truly are the most beautiful soul I have ever met and I can only take one positive thing from Broken Love then it will be our friendship! I cannot wait to wear a puke green bridesmaid dress to your wedding. Thank you for Scorched and sharing Hale with me, he is beautiful. From the late nights (screw the time difference) to finishing each other’s sentences, I have fallen in love with your soul. It is crazy how fast we connected and how similar we are. I love you forever B. Davis, I can’t wait to move to America and raise our sons together.
To everyone that has made an edit or shared my book – you do not understand just how much that fulfils me. I swear I shed a tear every time I’m notified that someone has took their time out to share something I have done. I love you!
There are a million more names of beautiful people I am dying to thank, I could list to you all forever. So to those that I have not mentioned just know I still value you and all your help.
