When all you’re left with are the pieces of your broken heart, there’s nothing you can do, except try to rebuild. So, that’s what I did.
One moment was all it took for me to feel the first flutter of hope I’d had in a long time.
One moment.
He barrelled into my life, covered in tattoos and surrounded by an aura that enraptured me, determined to be the glue that held every broken piece of me together.
I wanted to push him away, because I was scared to lose anyone else I loved.
But, I wanted to hold him close because without him, my life was empty.

Tatted Cowboy by Kasey Millstead is a heart wrenching and heartwarming story; it’s a text that will strip readers bear because so many will be able to relate to Laura Carlisle’s back story and all that she had to endure due to a tragic accident. It’s a story of second chances in a multitude of ways – a second chance to live…a second chance to love…a second chance to experience all life has to offer. Laura and Luke’s story will have readers invested from the very beginning and cheering for them to have the happy ending they both deserve.
Laura is an extremely realistic character. Her struggles with depression and guilt will resonate with readers and endear her to them even more. The fire within her and her will to carry on despite the sadness is inspiring on so many levels because she chooses to live and be happy, which is extremely difficult given what she’s been through.
From the first meeting, Luke is an amazing hero. He’s gorgeous, a dirty talker, and extremely driven on a variety of fronts, but the qualities that will have readers swooning over him are his caring nature and his ability to always know just what Laura needs.
Tatted Cowboy is a cathartic journey for the author, characters, and readers, and I feel so privileged that Kasey Millstead allowed us to experience it with her. Readers will be able to tell that this story is extremely personal to her; it is illustrated through Laura’s internal dialogue, her emotions, and the way she takes one day at a time.
Laura and Luke’s story will provide readers with hope – optimism that even in the darkest of situations, the light will find a way to break through as long as you’re willing to let it.

5 Poison Apples
With pain, comes blame. We blame the ones we love, we blame the one we lost, but most of all, we blame ourselves. It buries itself deep. So deep that on some days it feels like it’s in the marrow of your bones.
It destroys everything. The love you thought you had? Blame will chew it up and spit it out faster than you can blink.
Blame is like cancer; it eats away at all the good. It consumes you and if you are not careful, it will kill you.
Kasey Millstead lives a quiet life in country New South Wales, Australia, with her husband and their four young children. She enjoys baking, singing (ridiculously out of tune) & spending time with friends and family. Kasey has always harboured a deep love for reading and writing, and she is now lucky enough to be living her dream of being an Author.
