In honor of her friend’s birthday, Bev Navarro does something she swore never to do again, enter Holden Lancaster’s home. At one time the two had been part of a close-knit group of friends, but that all changed thanks to one game of Seven Minutes in Heaven.

Holden can’t understand why Bev is avoiding him. He can only hope tonight’s festivities will give them the time needed to mend old wounds. But one look at her face tells him he’s in for a night of disappointments.

The birthday surprise is on them though, because they’re receiving a gift neither will ever forgot. The stopwatch is going, and the only question is, will they make the same mistake the second time around?

This was a really interesting book. I read a lot of short erotica books but this one was more the proper erotica romance that deserves a review. Despite the short length of the book (85 pages), the characters were developed enough to get an idea of one part of their lives.

Bev and Holden had a big misunderstanding a few years ago and Bev had been avoiding Holden since then. When a wise mutual friend decided that things needed a little nudge, not only Bev and Holden, but the rest of their circle of friends, they all received a pleasant gift from the birthday boy, Shane. They were instructed to share the gift with the person that Shane assigned them to. It was basically a matchmaking fiasco. Everyone was upset and walked out of the party.

Bev and Holden were the last one to go. Before Bev could leave, Holden cornered her and demanded to know why she had been avoiding him all these years. Long story short, they ended up in the bedroom and admitted love for each other.

This book was well-written with minimal to no errors and absolutely amazing chapters. I can't wait to read the rest of this series!

Get the entire series in paperback! You won't be disappointed!

(*wink wink* You know, it is my birthday next month, anyone want to send this to me as a gift? #justsaying)

Interview with Harrie Brooks

Title: Dreams Come True
Author: Harrie Brooks
Publisher: Self-Published
Where To Buy: “Click Here”

A secret held in the past in memories only but never forgotten.
The girl caught in the middle.
How long will it be until someone's DREAMS COME TRUE?

Interview

Kayla: In one sentence describe Dreams Come True?

Harrie: Hot, Sexy and Secretive.

Kayla: Why do you like writing Erotic Romance?

Harrie: I like to be able to write without repercussions lol! It's like think of
your wildest fantasies and then having them in front of you.

Kayla: How has your writing changed from when you first started until now?

Harrie: I started writing in school, nothing much just creative writing pieces and
then branched out into fan fiction then let my fingers do the talking on
the keyboard. Before I knew it I had my first erotic piece. It's easy to
write when you have a crush on someone.

Kayla: What do you like to do in your free time?

Harrie: I read a lot. I love wrestling so I watch that and go to live events as
much as possible. I love to sing and I love movies. Trust me if I’m not at
home writing or reading I’m at my parents’ house enjoying some home cooked
food and if I’m not there I’m at the cinema.

Kayla: Who are some of your inspirations?

Harrie: Ooooh hard question. I love the books of Stephen King. My biggest
inspiration though is my Mom. She has been through so much but she’s
always there for me and my Dad and no matter if she has a bad day she’s
always on the end of the phone if I need her.

Kayla: Where do the ideas for your books come from?

Harrie: To be honest I'm not sure. A lot of writers plan ahead. I find my best
work comes from putting on some music and writing. I do all my writing on
the computer so if I make a mistake I can go back and sort it out.

Kayla: What is your favorite movie?

Harrie: Currently I love The Hunger Games movie, seen it twice and it will be the
next dvd I’m going to get. I also love movies that are based from comics.
There are some incredible movies it’s honestly impossible for me to pick
just one. Now if you were to ask my favorite actors I would have to say
Shia LaBeouf is amazing.

Book Trailer:

About Harrie:
I was born 30 years ago in England. I started writing when I was around 10, only short stories for English but I was told by many teachers I had a skill. I worked hard on this from then and took many routes before ending with the Equinox series you now hold the start to in your “hands”. Tyler, Sam and Reese have been with me for a while and now I want to give their stories the light they need. I hope you enjoy them and read the further stories that will be coming soon.
