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.
UNITED INDIE BOOK BLOG REVIEW
REVIEWER: LESLEY
RATING: 4 STARS
When you find a new author to read you never fully know what to expect but I wasn’t disappointed. Although this book was fairly lengthy the story never faulted and if it wasn’t as long I don’t think we would have gotten the full picture of Gavin and Chloe’s journey. I love Gavin and Chloe who are two lonely soul brought together by fate. Gavin is an insecure man who has been hurt and guards his heart really well with the walls he puts up. Chloe also has issues and with Gavins help learns to trust again. The chemistry between the pair is scorching hot and together they find love. As you read this book we find out why they are the way they are and you can’t help falling in love with them. I really enjoyed meeting Gavin and Chloe and reading their story.

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.
