ABOUT THE AUTHORS

Alicia Taylor

Alicia Taylor was born and raised in the East Midlands town of Derby, England, where she lives with her family and mass of animals - she's a huge family and animal lover.

Writing powerful love stories and creating Alpha males with a dash of darkness has become a passion of mine, and I have many stories and characters swirling in my head that I can't wait to share with you all. Is it weird to have so many voices in my head? I'm not crazy, I promise... maybe a little bit.

Alicia’s Acknowledgements

Holy shit… I can’t believe I’m writing acknowledgements for a third time. This is crazy!! I don’t even know where to start. This end of book shit – yes I just went there, and let me tell you something… all future acknowledgements from me will be called end of book shit because that’s how I roll!! – is hard. I know I’ll forget someone and for that I’m sorry, it’s not personal. I promise!

I guess I’ll start where I always do… my Natty Noo Noo. You have made this journey an experience, that’s for sure haha. Every fun, sad, happy, scary, and intense moment you’ve been by my side. I’m sure many times you’ve wanted to virtually smack me up side me head but we’ve done it! It’s finally over and we’re still as thick as thieves… that to me says it all. We’ve overcome every annoyance, issue, and problem we’ve faced, and we’ve done it together. I love your face! You make me smile and laugh daily, you listen when I’m ranting and raving about books I’ve read and loved, and not forgetting some of the more… ahem… disgusting conversations we’ve had haha… they make our friendship all the more real. You’re my soul sister. Keep the dream alive babe. I have every faith in you!! Don’t believe me just watch!! On that note… let’s dance…I’m too hot (hot damn) call a police and a fireman. I’m too hot (hot damn) make a dragon wanna retire man. I’m too hot (hot damn) say my name you know who I am. (I’m too hot (hot damn) am I bad bout’ that money… break it down now… Uptown funk you up!!!! Lol.
