BY LISA HELEN GRAY


Avaiable Today! 
Synopsis: 
How far would you go to protect the ones you love?

Some things are better left forgotten, but for Caitlyn Michelson forgetting is not something that she can do. After the brutal death of her sister, she packs up her four year old daughter Carrie and moves across the country, all in an attempt to get away from her sister’s killer, Robin Quinton.

After blackmailing Robin she believes that she will finally be free to live her life. However Caitlyn was naive to think her threats would work against the man who brutally murdered her sister. It’s only when she meets gorgeous bad boy biker Cage Carter that she finally begins to feel like she is living again.

Will lady luck finally be on her side? Or will everything she has be torn away from her?


Teasers





Excerpt:

“Enough is enough,” I chant in my head as I walk across the lawn towards the sound.
   As I’m walking along, I notice the extension cable that leads to just the plug I’m after. I head over, ignoring the stares from the men around me. The women just give me curious looks as I storm past them, thinking of expletive words to shout at them. Sending a glare their way, I keep my head held high not giving a shit what they’re all thinking as I make my way towards the stereo. I unplug the plug as a round of ‘what the fuck’, ‘who turned the music off,’ and ‘what the fuck is she doing,’ comes from everyone around me. It doesn’t halt me from what I’m about to do.
   I’m just about to snip the little bugger when a male husky voice comes from behind me. Every single hair on the back of my neck stands on edge. Every nerve ending in my body is hyper aware and the hair on the back of my neck stands on edge as my skin breaks out in goosebumps.
     ‘‘I wouldn’t do that if I were you kitten,’’ he warns.
Snapping my head around, I freeze when I lay my eyes upon the most incredibly ripped man I’ve ever seen in my life. Seriously, holy shit, give me a bucket of cold water now because I need cooling down. My skin feels like its on fire as I take in the perfection before me. His dark hair is short but still long enough to run my fingers through it. It’s scruffy and wild, giving him this rough edge look to his physique; I like it. His skin looks as soft as a baby’s bottom, giving me the urge to reach out and stroke it to see if it’s as soft as it looks. “His skin is flawless” as my sister would say if she were here. His eyes are a deep, dark brown colour with long black eyelashes, captivating me with his intense stare. Time has stopped all around me as my feet stay rooted to the spot while I keep looking over at his magnificent features. He has a five o’clock shadow on his strong jaw, which helps go with the bad boy look he has going on. What has me gawking though is that he’s shirtless, only wearing a pair of low hung baggy black shorts. His hard chest is glistening with sweat and I watch, fascinated, when I see a trickle of sweat drip down his chest, over the ridged muscle of his stomach, making me want to taste it with my tongue.
Holy fuck! Did I really just picture that?
It’s not like I can help it either; the bloke is packing some serious muscle. I swear I can feel drool foaming from my mouth.
      ‘‘Like something you see kitten?’’ he drawls, looking at me amused.
I snap out of my lustful daze, trying to ignore my flaming red face.

       ‘‘How about you put down the scissors,’’ he demands, making me shiver from the demanding tone in his voice.



Kim's Review
5 Stars

Caitlyn is a young beautiful lost woman who was dealt a crappy hand but does everything she can to protect the one person who means the most to her, her daughter Carrie. Carrie is the cutest little girl you could ever met and she’ll have you wrapped around her little finger the moment you meet her. 

The quiet peaceful resort Caitlyn works at gets turned upside down when Cage Carter’s biker club stops in. The first night there, this group keeps Caitlyn up until the wee hours of the morning, ruining any chance of sleep for Caitlyn. Taking matters into her own hand Caitlyn running right into the rock hard body of Cage the badass biker. Cage doesn’t stand a chance when he runs into the mother/daughter pair at the resort. Cage is a man who doesn’t do relationships and Caitlyn is afraid to let anyone one in and will do anything to protect Carrie from their past. Cage changes everything with just one touch.

This book had me hooked as soon as I was introduced to the adorable 4 year old Carrie who you can’t help but fall in love with. Of course then there is Cage the bad boy biker with a rock hard body with a big heart that he doesn’t know he has. He’s the perfect mix of bad boy biker and alpha male to make any women fall for him. I feel for Caitlyn as she has no one left to turn to and can only do what she feels is right for Carrie and her. I can only image with its like to have to trust a person you only known for a few days.

Better Left Forgotten start out as a really great romance story that keep my heart racing but then add in the suspense of Caitlyn’s past to it and I wasn’t able to put the book down. I needed to know what was going to happen next and how Cage fit into all this. The adorable Carrie kept things light when the story started to get to the point where my anxiety was peeking. It was so easy to connect with every character in this book.

Lisa Helen Gray wrote an amazing romantic suspense novel that kept me wanting more. She is truly a gifted writer and I look forward to the next two books in this series.



Rachel's Review

5 Stars

Romance, mystery, drama, suspense, lust; Better Left Forgotten has it all!

The story takes readers into the lives of a young mother named Caitlyn and her adorable four year old daughter Carrie. On the run from her sister's crazed ex husband, Caitlyn will stop at nothing to protect Carrie, even at the stake of her own happiness.


Enter totally swoon worthy bad boy biker Cage and his band of misfit friends, hired on at Harbour Cabins (Caitlyn's residence and workplace)to help with some renovations.

After a humorous first encounter involving scissors and some serious sexual tension, Cage starts breaking down Caitlyn's protective barrier until she has no choice but to give into her desire for him.

When threats start arriving, Caitlyn is left with a choice does she grab Carrie and run leaving any chance at happiness behind. or trust in Cage and her new friends promises to protect her knowing she's putting everyone's lives at risk.


I was given a ARC of Better Left Forgotten in exchange for a honest review.

I don't know if I can even put into words how much I loved this book! From the first page I was totally engrossed, I laughed, I cried, I may have even thrown my ereader. This book was PHENOMENAL! The story moved along effortlessly, with a strong story line and characters you can't help but fall in love with. This is the type of work you would expect from a much more experience writer and just shows that Lisa has a promising future in this industry. Definitely a must read for every book lover!
