We are thrilled to be part of the Release Blitz/ Cover Reveal for book one and two in the Carter Brothers Series by Lisa Helen Gray Malik And Mason
I’m Harlow Evans. Shortly after my parents were murdered I moved in with my Grandma.
It meant switching schools, losing friends, and moving away from the only home I knew. All I wanted was to finish the school year hassle free.
Switching seats on that first day altered my life. After surviving the loss of my parents I never thought anything could break me, but then HE came into my life....
He wants to hurt me
Destroy me
Ruin me
Tragedy brought me here, and a cruel twist of fate has me desperate to leave. There's also someone here that has me fighting to stay though.
All my life I’ve lived in the shadows, trying to go unnoticed, until I met HIM....
Malik Carter....
He’s broody, quiet, and holding on to a dark past. From that first meeting I was drawn to him, his painfully gorgeous looks and model physique, but I also knew he was totally out of my league.
He's the boy next door who, with his domineering personality, has somehow etched his way into my life.
When the Carter Brothers take it upon themselves to protect me from what’s coming, I’m not sure whether to be relieved or shocked.
You see, when a Carter brother loves, they love fiercely, strongly and protectively. No one can get in their way. They’re also used to getting what they want, even if it means getting hurt.
There’s one thing you should know about the Carter brothers before you read my story....
If you mess with one, you mess with them all.
If Harlow Evans thought losing her parents was bad, now she has to move away from the only home she’s even known, switch schools and make new friends. What she really wants is just to survive and get through her last year of school hassle free. Just when Harlow thought she could skate by unnoticed she met her new neighbours, the Carters. The five brothers are a team. Strong and protective of each other and the ones they care about. Harlow didn’t expect Malik, the middle of the brothers to pull her in and make her feel things she never felt before.
I was given this in exchange for an honest review and I have to say this is the best book Lisa has written so far.
Harlow Evans comes off as the weak outcast who needs to be protected but if you truly look at her, everything she’s been through and goes through she is by far one of the strongest young female characters I’ve read in books in awhile. She experiences love, lost and bullying to the extreme but she doesn’t let it hold her back or interfere with her relationships. Malik is the one person Harlow never counted on meeting but he is her biggest fan.
Malik Carter is one of five boys who live with their grandfather due to crappy parents. He’s strong alpha male broody quiet type that any girl loves. A bad boy to the core. Malik only really cared about his dirt bike career. He did meet up with random girls but never gave anyone a chance to be more than one night. At eighteen, Malik knows how hard life can be but the day he met Harlow Evans changed everything for him. She is the only woman that he has ever felt anything for and more than that he wants her to be his.
This is the opening book for The Carters Brothers series and it’s just shows how much Lisa Helen Gray has grown as a writer. This book hooked me from the first chapter. Harlow is a female that most of us can relate to. She just lost her parents and now moves in with a grandmother she never knew. The worst part is on her first day at her new school not only does she meet some of the Carter brothers but she become a target of bullying. The reality of what Harlow goes through is scary as this is how today’s society is. Meeting the Carter brothers was an experience. I love how they’re all very different but you can’t help but fall in love with them. Malik is the strong brooding bad boy that draws you in. His past keeps you wondering what he really went through although we only get a glimpse of it in the books.
Lisa had her readers on a roller coast ride with the ups and downs of Harlow’s life and the explosive chemistry between her and Malik. The love these two share is undying and the kind of love any girl wants to find. I couldn’t put this book down and it’s been a while since I’ve had a book that has had me addicted. Lisa has reach the height of write like Tijan and KT Fisher. I can’t wait to see what’s in store for the Carter brothers and Harlow in the next book Mason!!
I’m Denny Smith.
I moved away to my Nan’s house after my parents happily kicked me out.
Why, you ask? Because I ruined my future, so they say.
If you ask me, I was a naive seventeen year-old girl who chose to sleep with the boy she had loved from afar for years, only for him to want nothing to do with me in return.
So here I am, back at the one place I had hoped to never return, where I’ll attend court as a witness.
Now I have to face him...Mason.
There’s no other way around it.
He can’t know my secret...but he will.
When I returned, I expected him to have moved on with at least a million and one other girls, to have forgotten the naive school girl with a crush that followed him around like a lost puppy, but I was wrong.
What I got when I arrived was five brothers, a Granddad, a pushy Grandma, and a best friend who would stop at nothing to make me stay.
But only one of them has the power to make me stay...Mason.
After everything, can I truly trust him again or will he continue to break my heart?
If you mess with one Carter brother, you mess with them all
Lisa Helen Gray (1987) born in Birmingham. All Lisa has ever wanted to do in life, apart from be a mother, is to read and write, and at a certain age she wanted to be a princess.We can all dream, right?
Serious note though, she has been a passionate reader ever since her Nan first handed her The Three Gollywogs by Enid Blyton. After that, she lived in a land of fantasy.
First came Buffy the Vampire Slayer, then Angel, and it went on to Twilight and The Hunger Games. Some would say she is a daydreamer, but she is just a firm believer that there is a happily ever after. Hence, her huge love of romance novels.
She got into reviewing other author’s novels, and then decided to publish her own work. Bringing us to her first novel, If I could I'd wish it all away (2014).
She always has her head stuck in a romance novel and is often (too often) reminded of this. When she hasn't got her head stuck in a book or writing her next novel, she is glued to the TV series Pretty Little Liars, walking dead, The Originals, The Vampire Diaries and of course, Veronica Mars. Just an ordinary girl surround by extraordinary books
I was about to marry the man of my dreams.
