Blurb ~ At
twenty-four, Clarinda James has lived a traumatic life.
One of the last
images she saw before losing her sight was that of her parents' death.
The nightmares of that time still haunt her every night. Taken in at
nineteen by her sister, Clary didn’t know there was going to be a price
to pay, a price far greater than her blindness. It’s not until Blue
walks into her life, she realises it’s possible to experience the joy of
warmth. In her darkness, Blue will become her beacon, her guide. Little
does she know that she’ll need to count on Blue more than she thought
she would.
She has to…if she wants to stay alive.
Blue
Skies is on the lookout for a woman. Always there to support his
brothers, Talon and Griz, he’s not a stranger to the craziness of love
or life. Nor is he a stranger to making it clear that comments
surrounding his name are out of bounds. Despite the often effed-up
situations his brothers find themselves in as a result of their women,
he’s more than happy to settle down when he finds his missing piece.
After
three weeks of seeing a gorgeous redhead in a café, he refuses to let
the opportunity pass him by. Building a tentative relationship with
Clary is no easy task; she’s damaged. It’s not until he discovers the
truth behind her darkness that he willing lays claim to her. He is
determined to protect her, no matter the cost. She is irrefutably his.

Black Out was such a refreshing twist on the recently
popular MC novels. I am still surprised by how much I enjoyed this book mostly
because I found myself laughing and just enjoying the characters early on.
It was an adventure and just plain fun to read, with some off the charts steamy moments. Perhaps Clary’s blindness makes her more endearing from the get go, at least
for me, but her sweet naivety and vulnerability could win anyone over. It’s not
every day a main character has such a obvious character flaw, most are hidden
deep inside but Clary’s is forefront in every moment of her life.
Clary may be blind, but she's anything but helpless, at least where Blue and his club is concerned. Clary barely survived a fire that took her parents lives.
Losing her eyesight was just another loss for her. Thrust into a new and
unseeing world, Clary is forced to live with her sister. Immediately meeting
Clary’s sister I hated her. The way she treats, talks and blames Clary is
repulsive. In many ways I was sad and angered on Clary’s behalf, but being
blind and trying to live alone is a hurdle Clary does not believe she is ready
for.
Clary goes two places: the library where she listens to
audio books and the café where she can relax and hopefully hear/smell- the
impossible to not be HOTT- Blue who also frequents the café. There may be an instant attraction on both
their parts and trust me it’s believable even though Clary can’t see but this
is no insta-love, insta-relationship between Blue and Clary. Building something
between them will be no easy road with life, family and Clary’s vulnerability
barring the way.
Though this is an MC novel, it’s not MC heavy meaning there
is more focus on the relationship than the dynamics of the club. Sure it’s
still there and Blue being a member is very important to him, but then again so
is Clary. I once again would like to point out that this book has some
hysterical moments. I mean how many times have you a sex scene in which the heroine
gets poked in the eye with a dick. And don’t worry, I’ve ruined nothing, the
scene and a few others will have you clutching your belly.
Black Out is the third book in the series, but it’s the
first I’ve read and I was not once lost, confused or separated from the story.
Other characters from the previous books are featured a bunch and having met
them, I am eager to go back and read their stories, however, feel free to jump
in as I did. The author does a great job of keeping the storyline on track and
easy to follow. Though it’s not jammed packed full of drama and action, there
are still enough moments that make this a very enjoyable read and one that will
keep you up late into the night. MC fans will be pleased and so will everyone
else.

I was born in Brisbane, Australia. My step-dad was in the Army, which caused us to move around a lot. We finally settled in country Victoria, Australia. I am the youngest of four children and I can say that I was spoilt a bit. I drove my mum crazy when I refused to eat meat at a young age. Now I live with my husband and two children, and I find myself regretting all the troubles I put my parents through because my monsters are just as picky as I was.I started writing in 2013 and self-published the first of the Hawks MC Club series Holding Out. The next to follow was something different, I wrote Senseless Attraction, a YA novel. Soon I was back to the Hawks series with number two Climbing Out. I have more to write in the series, but there will be also be more novels in the humorous erotica genre, like Left to Chance, which is out now.
