My Rating - 5 Stars!

A World Apart, is a touching romance by Mel Gough. It's completely relatable and is extremely emotional.

Ben and Donnie will take you on a gut-wrenching emotional ride. They meet as Ben's dealing with separating from his wife.

They have a lot of complications to deal with, including illness, alcoholism, a troubled brother and more.

Their story is superb, with complex characters and a beautiful chance for finding love. Mel Gough has definitely impressed me with this amazing story. Do not miss out A World Apart!

Metropolitan Police detective Pete Tucker’s world comes crashing down when his wife sues for divorce and sole custody of their only son.

Desperate to forget his sorrows for a while, Pete seeks refuge in a Soho bar where he is approached by a sexy, funny, and clearly interested stranger. Photographer Liam Jackson is just the ticket for one oblivious night of perfect passion.

However, their attraction proves too intense for a one-night-stand. To his surprise, Pete finds that he’s game for something more – but his baggage soon gets in the way. Then Liam’s own dangerous secrets claw their way to the surface, and threaten to derail the budding romance.

Is their growing bond strong enough to weather the violent storms ahead?




REVIEW
My Rating - 4 stars!

Tainted Life is the first I have read anything by Mel Gough. 


When Pete meets Liam, he thinks he might have found the distraction that he needed. It's been years since Pete has been with a man, and he's excited for this opportunity. Their one night stand ends up leading to so much more after some crazy events take place.

This story is a well written, fast paced, quick story that contains a custody fight, an attack, and a crazy brother. If they can work through some of their personal issues, they might be able to find love.

But only complaint is how fast everything happens. I would have preferred a little more development between the characters, but that is just part of the plot. 

Tainted Life is worth a read if you have some time and are looking for an action romance.
