Well I am super excited to be able to share with you my 
EARLY REVIEW 
***Spoiler Alert*** 
I loved it! 

So take a look, TBR this baby PRE-ORDER NOW and get ready for one of the most anticipated release of the year...


A TRUE STORY told through the voice of New York Times Bestselling author E.K. Blair.

She’s an author.
She’s a mother.
She’s a wife.
She’s a fraud. 

A woman marked and bound by her own deceit, this is the astounding tale of how one choice knocked her world from its axis forcing her to battle through a year of scandal and betrayal, blurring the lines between reality and fantasy. 

This is an intoxicatingly risqué stand-alone true story tangled in lust, heartbreak, and contrition.


Ok. Let me first explain how this is going to go. This being what you are about to read from me. There are times when words flow freely from my mind onto the keyboard after I read a story, then there are times where I need to dig deep to pull my thoughts together to form a coherent thought. THEN there are times where I spend days trying to write a sentence and all I do is backspace more than I hit the period key, and I give up trying to write and just lay down how I feel, without care about run on sentences, or the over use of commas.

This is that latter time.

We all know the talent that flows from E.K. Blair. You can google her and find her rankings; you can go to any retail platform and see hundreds of favorable reviews that include phrases like “favorite author”, “must read author”, “brilliant writer”, and other positive words. What I didn’t expect was to be completely enthralled from beginning to end when I opened up my kindle to read the Author Anonymous file that was sent to me before publication. I expected a great story yes, but I didn’t expect to actually feel like I was in this fictional world. Because it’s really a world that I split my own life in half to be in. I felt every emotion that was being told to me. I walked alongside the characters as they walked down the street. I was watching the author character and her assistant sitting at the table at the book signings. I felt every kiss, every thrust, and every graze of the finger. I heard every scream and listened closely to all the whispers. I too had the tears, and the triple beating of the heart, the stomach drop when the truth began to come to the forefront.  I sat and read these words from beginning to end with no break in between for fear that I was going to miss something, never mind the fact that I couldn’t possibly miss any words. I was invested 110%. I came upon the end with sadness and relief, I wanted to keep going but I know I needed to let it go. Author Anonymous is just that good.

I can go back to the original emails I received with the words saying how E.K. Blair felt the need to tell this story that isn’t really her story and I now understand fully the need for this story to be told. Author Anonymous is beautiful as it is devastating and perfect in its execution. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

From NYT & USA Today bestselling author comes a new Bleeding Stars stand-alone novel… She is his strength and he is her weakness. And this time he won’t let her go.   Edie Evans is gorgeous. Sexy. Kind. She’s also the definition of off-limits. But that didn't stop me from sneaking into her room to comfort her at night. But guys like me? We destroy everything, so it should have been no surprise when I destroyed us, too. The night I sent her running, I thought I’d never see her again. Until I saw her standing like a vision in the crowd.   Austin Stone is dangerous. Alluring. Tempting. He broke my heart and I refused to give him the chance to do it again. It’s been years since I’ve seen him, and now I can’t do anything but stare at the gorgeous, tattooed man playing onstage. I should run. I know I should. But like a fool, I run straight back to him. Our desire is overpowering. Our need unrelenting. She is my hope. He is my weakness. We should have known a passion this intense would burn us right into the ground.

 “Shit,” I hissed, bracing myself against the spray of the icy shards pelting from the shower head. I sucked in a breath, released it between clenched teeth, and forced myself fully under it. Head dropped and chest heaving as rivers of ice-cold water slicked down my shoulders and back. But it did nothing to lessen the need. Gave me no sanity or pacification. Because all I could think about was the girl on the other side of the door. My girl. In my bed. Wearing just her panties and my shirt. An angel I wanted to dirty. I always had. Love was messy like that. All of my restraint scattered. I gripped my cock. Squeezed the base. My mouth dropped open at the pressure of my hand against my rigid length. A fool thinking it might be enough. Shit. God, I was a bastard, but there was nothing I could do before I was giving in, leaning forward and bracketing my forearm above my head to hold my weight. Water pounded down on my head and back while I pounded my fist against my dick. Trying to keep silent when all I wanted was to moan, teeth digging into my bottom lip as I pictured the girl spread out for me. My breaths were coming short. Panted and hard. I gave into imagining the sounds she would make when I finally got to bury myself in her body. A soft, soft gasp. I slowed, trying to convince myself that throaty sound was all in my mind. Just another part of this fantasy. Until I heard the small thump against the wall. Shit. I mashed my eyes closed, like it might hide me. Conceal the depravity of my actions after I’d just been comforting her hours before. Heart thrashing, I turned and moved far enough to peek out the small section where the fabric shower curtain hadn’t been drawn fully closed. It was just a little sliver that left me exposed. But it was enough. When I peered out, I was looking right at my girl pressed up against the wall. She stared right back at me. And I wanted to be horrified, my mind scrambling to conjure every weak apology I could summon. Ready to fucking grovel to keep her from turning and running once again. Because that’s exactly what I expected her to do. But her expression…her expression clutched me in the center of the chest and sent what little brain function I had left stampeding south. Red, lush lips were parted, her hand pressed to her hollow of her throat, pupils dilated so big that her hooded, cerulean eyes appeared black. Needy breaths were coming at me from that sweet mouth like a goddamned freight train. Desire swelled in the confines of the too-tight room. Alive. She pressed deeper into the wall as if it might support her weakened knees. Head rocked back. Thighs squeezing together. Motherfuck. My hand shot to the shower wall to steady myself. “Warning you, Edie, you need to get out of here. Right now.”

Cover Reveal with Sasha Brümmer ~ Blended, A Redemption Novel




Title: Blended
Standalone Series Title: A Redemption Novel
Author: Sasha Brümmer
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Cover Design: Sommer Stein, Perfect Pear Creative
Release Date: September 19, 2016



Clichéd sentiments of love are not my thing. Instead, I give into raw temptation and thrive on the physical aspects of what men have to offer. Unemotional, carnal connections are what I live for, and they seem to keep me in a blissfully naïve state.

I’ve gone years with a different man in a different bed each night, but one glance from a ruminating stranger as he lifts my panties to his nose narrows my attraction from multiple men to only one.

I’m not entirely sure how to process the thoughts and passions battling in my mind until he gives me no other choice…until I’m thrust into an unstable emotional high that I cannot seem to resist.

His objective is to break me in and savor me as if I’m his favorite bottle of single malt whiskey.

I’m well aware of my sensual dependencies. He’s unaware that his still exist.










A self-published author by night and all around busybody by day, Sasha is an international baby, born in gorgeous South Africa. Her cultured lifestyle is one that many don’t get to experience. When she’s not preoccupied with reading romance novels, she’s hashing out new ways to translate a titillating and libidinous scene onto a page.
