Was it normal for a fashion designer to ask a new model to strip so he could inspect her from head to toe to get a feel for her shape, size and sensitivities?
Bumping into her boss, causing her portfolio to fall and the drawings she’d secretly worked on during her breaks to scatter was accidental. But oh, what a welcome accident. Danea’s career dreams are realized when the man she’s drooled over and fantasized about for two years while working in administration wants to see all her sketches.
Not only does Kalem Ostarizo, the world’s top fashion designer, hire her for his design team, but wants her to model for House of Ostarizo. Danea happily signs a one-year contract for each position but is shocked when she finds out the obedience clause she agreed to involves more than just obeying the rules.
EXCERPT:
“Meet me in front of the building at noon. I hope you like the bistro around the corner. It’s my favorite. I’ll instruct my assistant to add you to my design group. Your work hours will be very flexible. I don’t mind if you work at home at times.”
“Really?” I stood, assuming he was dismissing me. His next question surprised me.
“Yes. Tell me, have you ever modeled?”
“No.”
“Please walk to the door and back? Take off your jacket, please.”
Nervous, I did as he told me. I put my purse back on the chair, hung my jacket on the back of it and walked to the door then back. I tried desperately to maintain my composure and not wobble on the spiked heels. Keeping my gaze glued to the floor, I felt his dark gaze on me while I strolled as casually as I could back to his desk.
“Undo the buttons of your blouse,” he ordered.
Okay, this is going a bit too far. “Why?”
“Lesson number one—never ever, question an order from me. I’ll answer you this time because you seem nervous. You’re too frigid, too tense, and hold your head up when you walk. Please do as I tell you?”
I tried to stop my fingers from trembling as I undid the buttons. I didn’t have a bra on—didn’t have the need of one. My breasts were firm, perky, and required no support.
“Pull the blouse out of your skirt.”
My breath caught in my throat as I obeyed his orders. My blouse flapped loose, both front panels barely covering my nipples.
“Walk to the door again and walk back to me. Imagine you’re a model and you’re displaying the latest Ostarizo outfit.”
I walked to the doors, did a turnabout and walked back toward him. I tried not to think about my blouse, about the flapping sides. I felt the cool air touch my nipples and knew they were exposed. I kept my eyes glued to the floor as I continued to walk.
“Look at me!” he thundered.
Startled, I raised my head and gazed into his eyes. My knees shook and felt about to liquefy into jelly. M my teeth chattered, but I continued to walk.
“Beautiful. You’ll not only design for me, but you’ll model for me as well.”
He came around from behind his desk, walked toward me and lifted my chin with his long, tapered fingers. “You’re a beautiful woman, Ms. Fitzgerald. Welcome to my team. I’ll give my assistant the necessary instructions and will expect you here tomorrow morning at nine sharp. You’ll start with a crash course in modeling. Leave your portfolio with me. I’d like to study all of your drawings at my leisure.”
His fingers left a burning imprint on my face. Flustered, I buttoned my blouse, hiding my exposed breasts, and tucked it back into the skirt. I realized he must have seen every inch of my breasts and my very hard nipples. The crotch of my panties was soaked, my clit throbbed like crazy, my nether lips felt swollen and tingly hot. A stream of electricity coursed through my body, my heart beat like a drum. I retrieved my jacket from the chair and quickly slipped it on.
“I’ll see you tomorrow morning, Ms. Fitzgerald.”

The Samsara Chronicles, now for sale on Amazon (Click here to buy)
Price: $1 Books 1 – 13 Book 14: $2.99
When The Samsara Chronicles went up for sale, I waited, holding my breath, to see reviewers’ reactions to it. Sure, I suck up bad reviews. It’s the same as with a movie, one person may hate the movie and another love it. To my delight, there have been a ton of great reviews for this series. Some readers were unsure after reading the first installment where this was going. Some probably didn’t bother going to book 2 and 3, but those that have read on, are saying fantastic things about the series. I just got another review this morning for book 5, Tempest, by Books, Books and More Books, which I’ll share with you:
Tempest is the 5th of 14 parts of a story broken down into 14 books. In this story Aislinn and Dylan are on the run. They continue to be pursued by people with green aura’s who mean them harm. They regularly run into people who give them gifts, sometime worth a lot of money, which these people insist they have passed down through their family specifically to give to them or more specifically to Aislinn.
Each installment in the story gets more intense and intriguing. Aislinn develops powers which save them, but also terrify her. The more they learn the more questions they and we have. I literally sit on the edge of my seat waiting to see what will happen next. I actually found myself clenching my teeth today because I was so worried. (yes I tend to get a little involved in my story character’s lives, but still clenching my teeth..!?.)
This is a definitely must read story series. The adventure, romance, suspense, fantasy, humor, creep factor, and good writing make this the perfect summer, or any time, read.
I give part 5 of the Samsara Chronicles 4 out of 5 clouds.

Toxic Haven
Warning: This book contains adult content, menage a trois.
Haven Drew is about to blow the whistle on a genetically damaging by-product of the Dahkhar Mining Corporation when she is thrust from her safe white-collar life into the mine itself.
Her analytical skills are used by the very corporation she wanted to expose. Lives are placed in her hands and in front of her guns, daily. Trapped in a vortex of rage and shame, she’s confronted by two familiar faces housed in her cell. Josias and Isan had been investigating the disappearance of personnel at the Corporation headquarters when they were relieved of their duties and assigned to positions in the mine.
It might not be love at first sight, but biology is powerful and with her mates at her side, there’s nothing they can’t do. Risking life and limb isn’t an ideal honeymoon, but they manage to work together toward their goal of launching themselves into space and to a colony infected by disaster. How romantic can you get?
The reviews are coming in randomly. I’ve copied and pasted some of them below. Readers, these books, except the very last one which is the longest story, are all ONE dollar at Amazon. Click to buy.
The Samsara Chronicles
Book Review:
EOS is the first of 14 parts of a story broken down into 14 books. To start off Seanna and Blake find out they are having a little girl, Aislinn, who the Antiquitas say is special. Seanna doesn’t know what to believe as she hears music and sees bright lights that tell her how special her child is. The first part ends with her birth, watched over by the angels.
26 years later world war 3 is tearing the earth apart. In the midst of this mass distruction a little girl finds a candlestick that the angels tell her to take to her sister Aislinn. Angelica has lost her family but knows she is on her way to find her sister.
The whole sisters but not sisters thing was really confusing, but I figure it will make more sense as the story progresses. So far I am drawn in and intrigued by the story. I am excited to read the next part and see how Angelica and Aislinn find each other and is Seanna and Blake are still around.
I give part one of the Samsara Chronicles 4 out of 5 clouds.
Review: This is a short novella and I will be reading and reviewing all 14 books in the series over the next 12 or so weeks. In the first book, we meet Sienna and Blake, a loving couple in their early 40s. They live on a 10 acre farm and although they had always longed for children they were never able to have any naturally or through assisted efforts. They are not young lovers, but they are still enamored and the story begins with a sensual dream that results in warm lovemaking that is private and not described. There are several sensual encounters that are tastefully presented. They may seem prominent because this book is so short, but the story goes beyond the lovemaking.
The initial encounter is to set the story for the series as the activity results in an unexpected pregnancy. Harmonious voices and lights appear to Sienna as the Antiquitas, the ancient keepers of knowledge. They let her know that her daughter, Aislinn, is a chosen child to save the world in the future.
The writing has an easy flow and I enjoyed the descriptions and the anticipation set up by this story. The characters are nice although not deeply developed. After the birth of the baby the book shifts 26 years to the future where the world has been devastated by World War three. Another child, Angelica, is introduced as a ‘sister’ preparing to meet Aislinn.
This is an interesting set up, to have this many novellas set out separately. This first book is only 50 pages. It is engaging and I am interested in where the story will go. There are some scenes that are not pursued, like the sighting of a white wolf, and it will be interesting to see if this is picked up in future books.
Pleasant description:
Stately evergreens flanked the driveway, their feathery branches already laden with a veil of white. Location 160.
Devastation:
Above the cries of the wounded and dying, a tolling bell solemnly lamented man’s legacy–now crushed and broken between the dust and rubble that had become the domain of vermin. Location 520.
Book Review:
Nadir is the second of 14 parts of a story broken down into 14 books. Sienna and Blake still live on their farm, but their daughter Aislinn lives in the city. The world has suffered from war and a plague like disease called the ‘scourge.’ There are tons of homeless and crashers, which seem like extreme drug addicts or scourge victims. The voices and lights that Sienna saw while pregnant come to Aislinn when she is upset or worried and comfort her.The story starts with her apartment having been broken into by someone searching for something she has, but she doesn’t know what it is they want. Two officers just happened to be in the area. One, Detective Dylan Young, has a premonition or strong urge to go to the apartment even before the call about the break-in. Dylan and Aislinn have an immediate connection. Aislinn’s voices tell her to trust him. She ends up asking him for help and it turns out to be a good thing because he saves her twice from two crashers with bright green auras. His aura is deep mauve, which is a good thing. Green seems to be evil or at least dangerous.I give part two of the Samsara Chronicles 4 out of 5 clouds.Review: Eos is the first of 13 in the Samsara Chronicles by Gabriella Bradley and Diana Kemp. Each section is very short, so I do not want to spoil it by summarizing the story. I will tell you that the writing is strong and the story engrossing. The characters are fairly well developed and most are likable. I look forward to seeing how they develop over the next 12 books in the series, which I will also be reviewing here. Perhaps once I’ve completed the whole set I will review the story as a whole. In the mean time, happy reading and enter the giveaway below for a chance to win a kindle fire.Review:Covenant is the 3rd of 14 parts of a story broken down into 14 books. In this story Aislinn and Dylan come closer together. They are staying together because of Aislinn’s apartment being broken into, but emotionally they are connecting also. Aislinn continues to see auras. Aislinn is told of a crystal skull at her work Christmas party and goes to see it after work that same day.The antique store owner won’t sell it. He is holding it until the rightful owner arrives for it and a special box that belongs to Dylan somehow. Christmas at Aislinn’s parents turns into a nightmare when they are attacked. She and Dylan divert the attack with the help of the skull, but the day is ruined. Returning home they confess their feelings for each other and then learn they must open the door for Altithronus.This was a gripping installment of the story. It’s like you say ‘finally’ when they admit their feelings for each other because you knew it was going to happen. They also find out how strong they are, why they are there, and what they need to do next. It would be hard to be in their position, but in a world where only 1/3 of the people are still alive stranger things could happen.I give part 3 of the Samsara Chronicles 4 out of 5 clouds.This is a review of the first book Eos from The Samsara Chronicles.
WOW! Talk about interesting with a hanging at the end. This book will draw the reader in wanting more and wondering what happens in the next book. I loved how the authors left everything hanging at the end.
This book is a very fast read and took me about 25 minutes to read while at work. Yes, longer than normal but I was trying to figure out a problem at work and reading this book helped to clear my mind and solve the problem. That just goes to show you what a great book this actually is.
I am reading all the books in this series so stop back by and read all the reviews for this amazing series.
The bunnies and I give this book

Thanks for a great read Gabriella & Diana I look forward to the rest of the series.
Review:
This is the second book in the Samsara Chronicles series. Although it picks up where the first book ends, it doesn’t review much of the first book but seems to assume that the reader has read book 1. This book is all about introducing the reader to Aislinn and Dylan and briefly explaining their mission.Aislinn is a survivor who moved from her parents’ farm (book 1) to go to college and then get a job in the city of Vancouver which, even with much destruction, has fared better than many cities that have been reduced to rubble by earthquakes, fires, drought and uncontrolled looting. Aislinn has always had her own private light bubbles to comfort her in times of stress. Now she learns from her bubbly light friends that she is “the bearer of the light”, a chosen leader. The warm, comforting lights explain that Aislinn must run and hide to be kept safe from the enemy, the Eletarii, who are actively seeking to kill her. The Eletarii presence is growing and they will do whatever it takes to stop Aislinn from saving Earth.
Aislinn also learns that the police detective, Dylan, who responded to the break in at her home is another ‘chosen’. It is implied they had a past together and that they are intended to be together to help save the Earth although the battle and plan of salvation are not yet fully explained. I liked the calm strength of both Aislinn and Dylan.
The authors set the scene in the devastated city, including many devastated lives that have sunk into extreme depravity. It is ugly and shocking. There is some bit of telling through the light beings rather than showing through action. Yet the story is engaging as it builds. This book only lays a foundation for the continuing story. There is much yet to be developed in the characters and the plot and I am interested to learn more in the next book.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~An example of description that I liked:
Misshapen snowflakes resembling gray tufts of cotton candy rained a dismal veil. It seemed ironic that the frosty blanket would soon smother the drought-scorched land… Location 645.
Book Review:Aislinn and Dylan are given gifts by various people to help them on their journey. The spheres continue to guide them and tell them they must open the portal to save humanity. People seem to know they are coming, on both sides… good and evil.Aislinn and Dylan meet three people who give them gifts to help with their journey, including Angelica who could be Aislinn’s sister or daughter.This story continues to be fascinating. I hang on every word and the book races by, ending before I realize. The writing is fast paced, intense, and pushes the action along with the reader hanging on as the story flies by.I give part 4 of the Samsara Chronicles 4 out of 5 clouds.
