 **The No.1 Sunday Times bestseller**

Some people are made for a life of crime
Dragged up on a council estate, Jason Rampling was determined to change his lot. Jason’s a chancer, shameless with his good looks and his gift for earning a few quid. Life is easy when the money rolls in.
Some people are ruined by it
Melissa thought she’d struck gold marrying Jason. Being on his arm meant she was finally a someone. But there’s no glamour in waiting for your husband to come home, or waiting for a knock on the door. Melissa made her bed the day she made her vows – will she lie in it without a fight?
Some would kill for it
After a stretch inside Jason wants to pull off just one last job, the biggest of all, it could solve all of their problems. But this is a game that could cost them everything . .

So when I’m having a book block I always go to Kimberley’s books as they grab you straight from the first page and always through to the end. This one book as actually got me laughing out loud at one point literally even my partner gived me a funny look as i started to laugh.

I loved Jason and how hard he would work to support his daughter and how he would even marry someone even if he wasn’t in love with her but because she would make a good mother for his daughter even if his wife is the daughter of johnny brooks and seeing how his wife looked after her own son donte.
Even though Jason is working hard Melissa is only happy when she has money to spend so Jason has to take any jobs that is going and so when he starts working for Johnny’s enemy things take a turn for the worse and Jason finds himself locked up for something he didn’t do.

What shocked me was the ending i never thought it would end the way it did and who did what they did but I’m really glad things worked out for Melissa she needed to find herself again after her ordeal.
The only problem reading one of Kimberley’s books is that it stays with you for a very long time and i even had to change book genres to read after her books as they are that good.
A big 5 stars from me and i would defiantly recommend this book to other people. If i had to choose which author to be a favourite then Kimberley would be at the top of my list.

Tormented to the edge of sanity …
Just when DI Matthew Adams thinks he’s left the past behind him, it comes back to haunt him once again; this time in the form of the Conner family.
Like Matthew, the Conners have lost a child in tragic circumstances – and they’ve also found themselves in the hands of one of the most depraved criminals to walk the streets: ‘Dead-eyed’ Charlie Roberts, a drug addicted low-life with a penchant for extreme violence.
Matthew’s greatest affinity lies with Daniel Conner, the brooding father who still blames himself for his youngest child’s death. But when Daniel’s wife and daughter are tortured and tormented by Roberts, can Matthew prevent him from completely ruining his own life for an act of revenge particularly when, once upon a time, that’s exactly what Matthew would have done too?

So when I started this book I really did struggle as I think I was having a massive book block from all books I have read previously. So when I got a few chapters in and it started to get really interesting that’s when I started to enjoy the book. I love Sheryl’s way of writing the book and how she draws you into the book even when your having a book block she knows how to capture your mind and draws your in the story.

So this story is probably the worst story you could read and how hard it is to deal with something so tragic that has happened and even though your struggling with the grief yourself you will still do anything to keep your family safe.

He knows this might be the ticket to get his family back together and to get the help they need to grief with their loss and to bring them closer. Charlie Roberts is the most sadistic bloke who you will ever meet and all he can see is the pound signs and the enjoyment of tormenting Daniel and causing him pain even charlies mate has had enough of charlie and tries to stop charlie when he thinks Daniel cant take anymore punishment. high on every kind of drug charlie has taken. he doesn’t see hes doing anything wrong.
But with the help DI Matthew Andrews and his team they find them but with some more upset for Matthew as he has to help Daniel through something that he was hoping he didn’t have to speak about before. With all the upset and Daniel telling  Jo all the suffering he endured by the hands of his father. Daniel and Jo have finally turned the corner and hopefully can  maybe get on with there lives and enjoy there family time with Kayla.
I would defiantly recommend this book to others and tell them they wouldn’t be disappointed.
