Shyla Colt grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio, but has lived a variety of different places thanks to her wanderlust, interesting careers, and marriage to a United States Marine. She’s always loved books and wrote her very first novel at the age of fifteen. She keeps a copy of her first submission letter on her desk for inspiration.
After a lifetime of traveling, she settled down and knew her time had come to write. Diving into her new career like she does everything else, with enthusiasm, research and a lot of prayers, she had her first book published in June of 2011. As a full-time writer, stay at home mother, and wife, there’s never a dull moment in her household.
She weaves her tales in spare moments and the evenings with a cup of coffee or tea at her side and the characters in her head for company. A self-professed rebel with a pen. Her goal is to diversify romance as she continues to genre hop, and offer up strong female characters.

ALPHA BOOK CLUB REVIEW
“I’m not naive about the men in my life. I know they’re dangerous, but only when provoked. He stirs, and I freeze. I need to put as much distance between us as possible. I have to get my head cleared before he comes home.”
5 stars. I loved everything about this book. The characters, the storyline, the author!!! It was a fast read and so much fun!

This is the 2nd book in the series, but can be read as a standalone. Blue is a strong, loyal and fierce, she is beyond devoted to her family even though they definitely didn’t deserve it. Shadow is mean, dirty, and strong. But when it comes to Blue he’s a softie. This story was amazing!! You can’t help but fall in love with the characters and the story!!
