IT'S LIVE!
A tragic accident in the middle of an immobilizing blizzard joins Gavin Fletcher and Chloe Cabot, uniting two tarnished souls on a life-changing journey that defies the odds of their haunting pasts in BLEMISHED, the new novel by Amazon bestselling author of erotic romance Juliet Braddock.
Beautiful and imaginative, Chloe struggles to survive the daily grind of life in Chicago. An artist who never dared to explore her dreams, she takes pride in her independence and fends for herself at all costs.
A young advertising executive who’s rising fast within the industry, Gavin has built an ordered and precise life, but he’s much more lonesome than he’ll ever admit.
Both exist in worlds veiled in secrecy.
On the surface, Gavin’s life exudes perfection. He’s building his own thriving business, but beneath that slick exterior, he’s hiding the truth about his enigmatic lifestyle.
Chloe, on the other hand, has been dealt a rough hand in life. As details of her heart-wrenching past emerge, she fears she might lose Gavin for good.
Together, though, they discover solace in each other’s arms. While Chloe blossoms as Gavin’s submissive under his tough but tender tutelage, she wonders if he might just be the one to break the façade of fear that surrounded her heart.
Just as emotion transforms them from reluctant strangers into unlikely but enduring lovers, heartbreak strikes their relationship again, forcing an unforeseen reversal of roles.
REVIEW
I was a little daunted to begin with looking at the length of this book and the fact she is a new author to me, but soon realised I had no need to worry as the characthers were interesting and charasmatic and their developing relationship is heartwarming and sexy.
Gavin is a successful man, his a redheaded man who has been hurt before so guards himself, he has an outlet through his pet Mason - a turtle, they are good listeners apparently. I found Gavin well rounded and very lovable, his caring nature and playfulness comes across well. He has a sexy dominant side and is into kinky sex, so expect steamy scenes featuring BDSM.
Gavin's relationship with Chloe doesn't start in a conventional way, he rescues her and in return she saves him too in her own way.
Chloe has fallen on hard times, and is not in a good way when Gavin finds her - she has her pride still though and doesn't want to accept charity. The lady has some hidden talents and just happens to be intrigued by the kinky suggestions Gavin puts to her.
I found their relationship spicy and sweet, the sex was always hot mostly sub/dom themed but there is always a sweet caring element especially after the scene. The d/s part doesn't exactly leave the sexual side, they do play around out and about but it always felt more like messing about, well that is except for the sub-test..... I have to admit that made me squirm a little.
A book of two halves one side setting up a relationship and the other life getting in the way. I've read a lot of longer stories and most are separated into 2 books so this is fab being a complete story in one book.
There are lots of feels in this book and the author writes beautifully. A very enjoyable romance.

ARC REVIEW
Amazon bestselling author Juliet Braddock’s first efforts in creative writing came long before she learned to put crayon to paper. In fact, she began spinning stories in her head nearly as soon as she could form complete sentences. As long as she can remember, she’d always created sagas about imaginary friends, family members and pop culture icons, and kept everyone around her entertained with her witty—but often very tall—tales.
For her sixth Christmas, Juliet’s mother got her a child’s typewriter to preserve all of those creative thoughts filling her head, but she quickly switched to ball point pens and notebooks when the ribbon ran dry.
Most of Juliet’s early attempts at writing romance focused on members of Duran Duran and Spandau Ballet or young leading men on Broadway. However, as she matured as a writer, she decided that it was just as much fun to create her own romantic heroes and heroines.
At an early age, she also developed a love for big cities, and the tallest of skyscrapers were never high enough for her. Juliet’s wanderlust would eventually lure her to New York, a city she often visited during her formative years, and her love affair with Manhattan began. She’d promised herself that one day she would return for good.
Juliet’s passion for writing and for big cities converged, and after graduating with a degree in Journalism, she decided to set out on a journey to find her heart…just where she’d left it.
A week after her college graduation, Juliet made the big move from a small town to New York City, where she has made her home ever since.
In between building a career in communications and writing on the side, she’s indulged in international travel, theater and art. A wine and food buff, she’s by no means a connoisseur, but she can give a few good restaurant recommendations if you’re in the city.
“There’s something so inspiring about living in a city like New York that’s so rich in culture and so very vibrant. Every neighborhood has its own story to tell,” Juliet says. “I often do my best plotting on the subway, just observing the lives unfolding around me. New York truly has a billion stories nestled between the skyscrapers.”
A proud Manhattanite, Juliet couldn’t live anywhere else—except for Paris, perhaps—and is a gushing cat-mom to a Russian Blue mix who was rescued as a kitten from the streets of Brooklyn.
