Now married, a mother and still an avid reader, she stumbled upon the Indie author movement and became involved on several levels. Never in her wildest imagination would she have thought she would co-author a book. With the support of her family, she took the plunge, adding writing to an already busy literary existence.
She wouldn’t have it any other way.

inNew York Times bestselling author Sawyer
Bennett has written her most gripping and poignant tale yet. Provocatively
heart-breaking, audaciously irreverent and romantically fulfilling, The Hard
Truth About Sunshine exposes just how very thin the line is between a full life
and an empty existence.
A reformed trial lawyer from North Carolina,
Sawyer uses real life experience to create relatable, sexy stories that appeal
to a wide array of readers. From new adult to erotic contemporary romance,
Sawyer writes something for just about everyone.
Sawyer likes her Bloody Marys strong, her
martinis dirty, and her heroes a combination of the two. When not bringing
fictional romance to life, Sawyer is a chauffeur, stylist, chef, maid, and
personal assistant to a very active toddler, as well as full-time servant to
two adorably naughty dogs. She believes in the good of others, and that a bad
day can be cured with a great work-out, cake, or a combination of the two.

She is a five foot seven long list of things he can’t have.
He is a determined cop, desperate to keep his heart sealed behind his badge.
Michelle is a survivor. With a fresh perspective on life, she trades her tragic past in California for the coastal waters of Charleston. Fueled by a new career as a dispatcher, she’s determined not to let her scars weigh her down. She apologizes for nothing, especially her insatiable need for a certain police officer.
Rowdy is a newly minted sergeant dedicated to his job, but the life of a Charleston police officer has never been more dangerous. With his need to take order of a city spiraling out of control, the last thing he wants is an entanglement with a mouthy dispatcher. But, there’s just one problem. He can’t get enough of her.
As the heat rises between the unlikely pair, so does the tension.
Three months of summer was all it took to shake their foundations, rattle their walls, and bring them crashing down.
It was lust.
It was love.
It was real.
And it would have been perfect . . . if it wasn’t already over.
“I’m not breathing for ghosts anymore. I’m breathing for you.”
First of all how gorgeous is the cover? It so pwetty. I love it.
There love has been a long time coming…Two years in the making
Rowdy is the Brave Line but over the years things have been changing. Rowdy is an asshole, arrogant and intense and with a dangerous edge that makes him far too attractive and yet Michelle still wants him something fierce. He gives the excuse that he doesn’t shit where he eats but we all know the real reason. Kurt.
Michelle is the life line for the Brave Line the voice in your ear where you know that someone cares. She’s not defined by her past. She has one hell of a potty mouth and a heart of gold. Even after her situation back in LA she is one of the strongest heroine’s and when I found out why she does what she does? I got it. Every night was worth it. All for a better outcome.
Their pasts are heart-breaking but also life changing. They deal with it differently.
Michelle takes life by the balls. She lives out loud and she loves loud as well. It might seem without a care in the world but that’s not true.
Rowdy is the opposite he let his past change him. Once as teenager and then with his best friend Kurt. His world is darkening, bitterness is creeping in and it is hard to fight. Even close calls aren’t keeping him sane. But with Michelle things start to change although he doesn’t want them to he is comfortable and scared shitless but fighting it isn’t cutting it anymore either.
“Because you’re calm water and I’m thirsty as hell.”
I felt a kinship with both Michelle and Rowdy and for different reasons as well. They are so loveable with all their flaws with the fight that they have in them for one another even if it is nearly too late. Emotional, heartbreaking a blend of everything you want in a book. The ups and downs the good and the bad times. The brutal honesty with no deception or lies.
You filthy, filthy downright dirty boy but there are also sweet moments. Rowdy was being sweet not with words but more with his actions. But it was to be just one night….
Rowdy was a sexual deviant hidden behind his blues the way I hid behind my headset. We were a sexual match. And it would have been perfect…if it wasn’t already over.
I fanned myself during the steamy, filthy
“Yes, when we leave here I’m going to spread you over the hood of my car and lick your pussy for so long you’re going to cry. And then I’m going to fuck your mouth with my cock.”
What they came to mean to one another and that they were in it for the long haul and that Michelle couldn’t have said it better.
The beautiful man who was my heart’s keeper.
Now not all was rosy for me in this book because at times it was somewhat long winded with too much inner monologue…
I highlighted half of the book as with all books that I read by Ms. Stewart and yet again realize there is a lot that I can’t use because you know SPOILERS.
I was chomping at the bit for this book there was just something about these two characters where they deserved a book.
My mistake while starting this book was that it would be like Anything but Minor & Major Play. It took me a while to get into Rowdy and Michelle’s story but once I did get into the swing of things I couldn’t get enough.
Ms. Stewart gives us a realistic view to how life on the brave line can be. The characters are down to earth and flawed. There is no o/w drama. No cheating, no boning of others. They bone a lot and are absolutely filthy with one another.
Top notch with the dedication and that it is also based on true story. I have so many feels when it comes to this wonderful, delightful, touching and spellbinding read.
I was a bit disappointed when I started to read but in soon morphed into a love for the characters.
Last but not least some wise parting words from the book.
It wasn’t about the one thing that every person on the planet had a right to do: love and be loved.
Thank you for this fantastic read Ms. Stewart and keep on doing your thing.

When Jessie Evans, a Georgia Southern University cheerleader, leaves for her best friend’s wedding the last thing she expects is for the seat next to her to be taken. After all, she’d only canceled Seat 2A hours prior after catching her boyfriend cheating.
Kendal Vargas, son of a Spanish emigrant fashion guru, is on his way to Whistler for a “mancation”. Running to buy a neck pillow before his flight, Kendal bumps into Jessie Evans. Kendal is in a hurry. Kendal does not stop to help her. Kendal forgot his neck pillow and the plane is about to leave and hey—who could travel without a neck pillow?
Charmed by Jessie’s beauty, and watching her board his very plane, Kendal takes a whim and changes his seat to one he hopes would be next to her. Jessie ignores Kendal’s attempt to be chatty but when their connecting flight gets canceled overnight, the pair has a chance to make a real connection.
Seven years later, Jessie bumps into Kendal in the produce aisle of a Portland grocery store. No neck pillow is involved, except there is a beautiful little girl who looks just like him. Fate has given them another shot but will Kendal’s whims keep them apart?
Major Spoilers & a Major Rant.
The book takes place over a seven-year time span which is okay no problems there on my part. The blurb though in my opinion is misleading it implies and this is what I understood that they spent the night together I thought I must have missed their one night of passion but I kept reading and still nothing happened.
Maybe she is the Mary and the Holy Spirit visited her but alas that also was not the case. The result was a little girl that looked exactly like the hero turns out though that the little girl is his niece. WTF? I was expecting a surprise pregnancy. I was not a happy bunny.
Strike One!
I liked how they first met at the airport and how they got to know one another. They both travel to Whistler, Jessie for a wedding and Kendal for a mancation. Before they swap numbers, Kendal has to leave as his father was in accident. She finds out that he is famous on national TV and is to chicken shit to go after him.
He tries to find her but she gave him a fake name and the wedding was also booked under a false name. Huh what are the odds right? But at least he tried. So, his years of taking over the emporium and having to be in a committed relationship otherwise he loses his inheritance. But he was up for call girls and booze each night that is until fate intervenes and they meet again. Jessie is in a relationship. Kendal pursues her they kiss so she’s cheated physical and emotionally on her boyfriend. Kendal pulls the brakes and says it isn’t right.
Strike Two!
On top of that for added drama they all run in the same circles. Kendal’s sisters husband is friends with Colby, Colby is Jessie’s boyfriend/ex-boyfriend. So, Gizelle decides that it would be a great idea to go away for the weekend. She invites the triangle situation and two random girls. Well not really that random they met at yoga. But really?
Bianca one of the randoms hits on Kendal he says no but she wouldn’t mind if Jessie joined them. To entice him more to get him into bed. He also puts a stop to that. Where the hell did that come from and is it necessary? How does it add to the story? Quite simple really it doesn’t.
Strike Three!
You’d think I’d tap out, right? Nope I don’t care how naff this book is I was determined to finish it. I couldn’t handle another DNF or another disappointing read. Okay so I still got the disappointing read but hey.
But the drama continues Colby the ex and Kendal fight over Jessie. Well actually over a jar of pickles and they die but the fight morphs into Jessie being the toy that they both want. which is like being in Kindergarten. This is where I realized that I fall in the four moods above and that I am too old for this shite.
You think I’ve finished, ah NO Kendal has commitment issues so obviously, he fucks up but realizes that he has fucked up and makes amends. The fuck up is that Jessie proposes and he goes apeshit. I have somewhat memory loss when it comes to that part of the book. They do get a HEA/HFN.

Megan Cruz has made something
of herself. She’s turned her dreams of pop stardom into a reality. But when a
deadly stalker breaks into her home claiming to be her number-one fan, the only
person she can turn to is the boy who got away. But Jax isn’t the same carefree
charmer who stole her heart, then broke it when he joined the military. This
man is seductive, hard, guarded. And he’ll do anything to protect what’s his.
After working hard as an attorney, Sidney picked up a pen for the first
time at thirty years old to begin her dream of writing. Having never written
anything other than very exciting legal briefs, she found an outlet for her
imaginative, romantic side and wrote Seeing Red. That first pen stroke sealed
the deal, and she fell in love with writing. Sidney lives in South Florida with
her husband and children. She loves her family above all else, and reading
follows a close second. When she’s not writing, you can find her reading and
reading and reading. She’s a reader first and a writer second. When she’s not
writing or reading, her life is complete and utter chaos, trying to balance
family life with work and writing (and reading). But she wouldn’t have it any
other way.
