Sensual. Heartbreaking. Passionate. Overwhelming. Maddening.
That’s the love Finn and I share.
It’s the kind you can never recover from.
The kind you never WANT to recover from.
That’s why we’ll do everything and anything to protect it.
When my past chases me all the way to Outskirts, we have to make a choice.
Let the lies destroy our chance at future together or…bury them deep in the swamp where they belong.
Got a shovel?

Sawyer wants a life of her own.
Finn wants to forget he ever had one.
After a tragedy, Finn Hollis escapes
into the swamp to be alone.
That is until Sawyer Dixon shows up,
all SCORCHING HOT innocence,
claiming she owns the land less than
fifty feet from his front door.
Sawyer gets under his SKIN, but even worse?
She makes him WANT things.
Things Finn hasn’t wanted in a very very long time.
Finn WANTS Sawyer gone.
Almost as much as he wants her in his BED.
The Outskirts is Book One in the Outskirts Duet.
Sawyer
My throat tightened and a heaviness grew in my chest like my heart didn’t know whether to beat faster or stop beating altogether. “Did you leave me all this to show me the life you could’ve had, but didn’t? Why!?” I pounded the wheel again and then again, and again and again until my vision was blurry and all I could see was the redness of my own heated rage. “You’re a fucking coward! You fucking COWARD!” I screamed to no one, pounding on the wheel until the skin across my knuckles split and blood dripped between my fingers.
Strong hands bit into my biceps, yanking me from the cab. I was spun around by my shoulders and found myself face to face with Finn. “I like it when you swear,” he said, pressing close.
“Finn, get off me! Get off me! Let me go!” I wailed, struggling to free myself from his grip. Kicking out my legs only to connect with the air as he evaded my every move.
A growl tore from his throat. Finn picked me up and walked me to the back of the truck, setting me on the open tailgate. He pushed himself between my legs and hovered over me to keep me from leaping off.
“Let me go,” I demanded, pushing at his hard chest. “I don’t have time for your broodiness right now.”
Finn held my wrists together with one hand. “No, of course you don’t. You’re too busy tearing up pictures and screaming at no one.”
“Let me go,” I repeated.
“No,” he said between clenched teeth.
“Just go! Leave me alone. Leave meeeeeee!” I wailed as I pounded against his stone chest.
“You don’t want to hit me,” he warned, his eyes hardened.
“Then let me go.”
“Why?” He stepped in closer, unaffected by my attempt to fight against him. My inner thighs were touching his outer thighs.
“Because she did!” I screamed, my eyes sprang open to find his cold blue gaze. “She could have run anywhere and taken me with her. Instead she left him but she left me too. She was a coward who couldn’t make the right decision and I love her. I love her…but I hate her. I hate her so much…so…” I was interrupted when Finn’s lips pressed against mine, momentarily rendering me stupid. I pointed my toes toward the sky to avoid my initial instinct which was to wrap my legs around him. It was so consuming that I momentarily forgot to fight him off, but I didn’t need to, he pulled his lips from mine.
“Stop doing that,” I said. I pushed him off but he stayed between my legs, his hands on my bare back just under the hem of his big t-shirt I was wearing. His gaze hardened. I could see the conflict written in his lined forehead and the deep V between his eyes. I had no doubt the conflict had everything to do with me.
And kissing me.
“It’s your fault that I do it,” Finn said, his voice deep and smooth against my chin and then my neck.
“So that’s your plan? Kiss me every time you want to shut me up?” I asked, still feeling every bit of my anger but also feeling something else. Something that sent tingles between my legs and an ache in my core. “Thank you for saving me. Really. Thank you. I appreciate it,” my voice cracked. “But you can just leave me alone now. And please, STOP kissing me.” My words a whisper.
“I’m going to kiss you whenever I want to kiss you,” Finn stated as if I didn’t have a say in the matter.
The early morning sunlight highlighted the beads of sweat trickling from his shoulders down his broad chest and across the valleys of his defined abs. He was standing so close that we were breathing in each other’s air.
“Whenever you want to kiss me?” I laughed. “I don’t understand you. I don’t understand any of this. You’re always mad at me. Why did you save me? Why do you keep kissing me when you’re always mad at me?”
“It’s when I’m pissed off at you that I want to kiss you the most,” Finn said, his voice flowing over my skin like a silky blanket. He slid me closer so I could feel the outline of his rigid erection as if he were proving a point. He lowered his lips to mine and consumed my mouth in a greedy kiss that had me shaking with need and spinning with confusion.
“Do you always kiss everyone you hate?” I asked, yanking my lips from his.
“Does this feel like hate to you?” he growled pushing his hard length between my legs.

Life is composed of a thousand tings.
With Ms. Frazier you always get something exceptional and here with this book it no different. Flawless writing, a gritty, emotional, electrifying read. Once again it is hard for me to put into words how this book made me feel.
Sawyer Dixon has had a sheltered upbringing and an extremist one at that being a daughter of one of the Reverend’s with The Church of God’s Light. She escapes to live life on her terms. Sawyer is so full of life and love with everything that she wants to experience. She is brave that she takes Rusty and Blue to face the unknown. She really comes into herself and by the end of the book I was astonished how much I actually liked her. When she first arrives in Outskirts Florida she is somewhat naïve and helpless but still has an inner strength about her.
Finn Hollis is stuck in a rut. He has been suffering for years. He is the swamp yeti. Put himself in a self-imposed prison. He is a hermit but that hermit is about to come back to life. Not only does he nearly run our heroine off the road but is also a right toad to her when she is parked with her camper at the side of his house to get to her swamp shack. He is a complicated man where there is no black or white to him.
Finn doesn’t want to feel anything for Sawyer but the interactions they have and the more he gets to know her. He can’t leave her alone. He is overprotective and beneath all his anti-social-ness he is a fantastic Hero. Oh and He. Buys. Her. A. Frigging. Library.
They have chemistry with one another and with Sawyer’s lack of experience Finn didn’t push her to do anything she didn’t want to do. They may have gotten off to a rocky start but I loved how their relationship progressed. What they have is tangible.
The world that was created and the beauty of the swamplands makes me want to move to Florida or at least visit. For all its harshness it has so much charm. The town is quirky, the people are even quirkier.
There are some twists and turns and the ending and the cliffhanger? Not what I expected. I betted on something completely different. I was so far off the spectrum with my guess it’s not even funny.
Before I forget I have to mention Josh and Miller. They are the frigging best.
“Josh, baby, when are you going to get that pretty head out of Vaginaville and let me introduce you to Cocktown again?” Miller asked, at a volume slightly above the guitar player in the corner. “I dated one girl. ONE. And it was six years ago. You’re never going to let me forget that, are you?” Josh jabbed a finger into Miller’s chest. “No, and I hope I never forget it either. Actually, I think about it all the time.” Miller closed his eyes. “In fact, I’m thinking about the two of you right now together.”
Bring on book 2 I need it like right now because I’m sure it will be just as suspenseful, mind blowing and full of the evil ginger awesomeness that I know and love.

Abby has been through hell and has survived one of the most brutal childhoods imaginable…barely.
To the outside world she is just a loner with an attitude.
When her grandmother dies in a tragic explosion, Abby is left with questions-and nothing else.
Homeless, sleeping in a junkyard, and on the run from a system that has failed her over and over again, she meets Jake, a tattooed blue-eyed biker with secrets that rival her own.
Two broken souls that can’t be healed. They can’t be saved.
Abby & Jake have to decide if they can accept the darkness not only within one another, but within themselves.
If they can accept each other for who they really are, they might be able to learn that love isn’t always found in the light.
Caution: This is not your typical romance. The story of Abby & Jake contains disturbing situations, graphic violence, sex, strong language, drug use, and all types of abuse.
I can’t really say if I am a fan of Ms. Frazier quite yet. I think that I am getting there though. After reading ‘King’ & then ‘Tyrant’ I wanted to read something light but in the end I ended up reading this book.
This book isn’t for the faint of heart. I will be adding spoilers at the end of my review for those who want to really know the mind fuckery of this book.
4 Broken Soul to Broken Soul Stars.
Jake Dunn was forced to leave home at a young age. When your own father tries to kill you then you don’t really have a lot of choice. He finds a certain pleasure in his job as a killer.
“I wish it’d been you,” he said, softer this time. “Dad, you’re drunk. You don’t mean that.” “Yes, I do. I just tried to fucking kill you, Jake, and in all honesty I wish I had.”
Jake has very few expectations in life.
I expected nothing, until the night I met a certain redhead with an attitude. The night I met Abby Ford, my life changed forever.
Abby Ford has walked through the valley of the shadow of death and although broken in some parts she survived her parent’s abuse. After foster care she moved to her Nan’s. Who was her saving grace that is until she was in a freak accident. Trying to dodge child protection services she has a run in with Jake Dunn, a first for Abby is that something in her begins to stir. She doesn’t like to be touched but that is understandable as soon as you find out why.
I enjoyed their interaction and how it first started out between the both of them. And that they are cautious around one another. They grow closer they tell one another their secrets, slowly but surely. There is a connection but their relationship progresses slowly there is no instalove.
Since Jake leaving home he has been filled with loneliness, silence and hollowness.
“I like the way you make the silence bearable.”
They are two people that become whole they complement each other. What they have is real, gritty and full of flaws.
“We were just us, broken and bruised, fucked-up and messy, and together we were everything we never thought we could be.”
Jake leaves to take care of business where the unthinkable happens to Abby and with the Fletcher’s owning the town and previous experiences I wouldn’t trust in the system either. Jake betrays Abby. It would have been better to just shoot her.
“You doubt me. I let my walls down with you. I showed you how much you meant to me. I told you things that I’ve never told anyone else.” My voice cracked. “I showed you my scars.”
And what the fuck does he do? He fucking leaves.
Out of all the heartache, pain and despair Abby gains something beautiful. Four years later Jake comes back into town. In Abby’s time of need Frank Dunn, Jake’s dad helps her out.
Jake finds out about Georgia and well that was one of the shining moments in the book.
All in all I can only say that this book is beautiful in its own way. But it isn’t for everyone.
Once again Ms. Frazier has shocked me again, I mean that in the most positive way. One of the very few authors that manages to get the drop on me. I find her unpredictability to be a real asset.
The author has the talent to make the main characters in the book likeable and creates an intricate web of human behaviour, morals that makes you sit up and really take notice of what they are reading.
Life is full of choices that all bear consequences.
