Description:

San Francisco nightclub owner Carina Tranquilli works hard, plays hard, and never allows the death of her parents and her twelve-year memory gap to get her down. But her life takes a left turn when a witch attacks her on her twenty-fifth birthday.

Three hauntingly familiar vampires emerge to reveal she possesses a latent power. To protect her from their enemies, they admit to wiping her memories clean and abandoning her as a child, but now they need her help. As she struggles to evade her new protectors and even newer enemies, she meets Alexander, an enigmatic, undead musician. Insta-lust flares, leaving her wanting more.

With evil’s minions hounding her every move, and everything she thought she knew turned on its head, Carina must harness her burgeoning power, unravel her vampire family’s web of deceit, and fight to have a love life…without getting killed in the process.

A glimpse inside Haven

Turn around.

 

I froze, my moment of weakness chased away by a jolt of adrenaline. I resisted Adrian’s pull. “Did you hear that?”

“Hear what?”

Silence.

“Nothing, I guess.” A wave of energy rolled into me, curled itself possessively around my body, and gave me one hell of a head rush. “Oh, wow.” I bit my lip, bracing against reaction.

Adrian tightened his grip on my waist. “Rina?”

Mark and Ren stalked over, faces grim.

“Did—? Do you—?” My mouth was so dry I could barely speak. “Do you guys feel that?”

Adrian squeezed, capturing my wandering attention, concern etched in the stern set of his jaw. “Feel what? What’s wrong?”

I started to tell them the Invisible Man hugged me against an electrified fence, but a second wave of energy bowled into me, making me tingle from head to toe. The sensation walked the line between pleasure and pain. A moan escaped me.

Mark took me from Adrian. “That’s it. We’re out of here.” He tried to pick me up, but I shook my head. Bad idea. Dizziness took the hall, and me, for a little spin.

Turn around. Turn. Around.

 

Was it a voice or instinct urging me on? Either way, the desire proved irresistible. I pulled away from Mark, pivoted, and forgot how to breathe.

The electric energy pulled back. The dizziness abated. All extraneous noise and people drained out of my perception until there was only Him.

Tall, fit, and bad-boy handsome with skin like pale honey, his thick, walnut brown hair hung tousled in a sexy, I-just-got-out-of-bed way. A hip, black, button-down shirt accentuated a sculpted upper body before it tucked into slacks painted on long, lean legs. The whole package made my mouth water.

Hot. Yummy. Totally my type.

“Who are you?” I whispered.

His mouth twitched in a hint of a smile as if he heard me—impossible given the distance between us. Heat spread, loosening my muscles, and my pulse sped up. Nerves. What’s wrong with me? Guys never made me nervous, not even gorgeous ones.

I nibbled my lower lip, mind racing to make sense of my reaction. His gaze tracked the movement and then slid back up. The heat from his stare hit me full force, driving a shaft of need through me. Energy rocked me again, a warm, electric breeze bathing my skin. My eyes widened in comprehension. The energy came from him.

We’ve all been there.
 
But . . . what if you forgot your life?
 
What if that life wasn’t worth remembering?
 
In spite of the happy cover, I HAVE PEOPLE deals with the sensitive issue of domestic abuse. It is about learning to recognize a good man versus a bad one. It’s about second chances and finding love, real love. 
 
The overpowering message behind I HAVE PEOPLE is that verbal, mental, and physical abuse is NOT OKAY! EVER!
 
Check out the tour and then read Holly’s story. It will change your life.

It’s been a great Tour, exploring the origins and themes of I Have People by Taylor Dean. In case you missed part of the tour… here it is, one more time:  links to all the great guest posts and reviews with quotes

 
The Grand Finale!!
8 –  Launch!
9 – Snuggling on the Sofa – Amnesia

I vividly remember my favorite high school English teacher sadly telling us that his wife had been in a bicycle accident.

          Sylv Jenkins – The Cover of I Have People

I am a ‘happily ever after’ writer, therefore the happy cover matches the happy ending! I promise!

10 – PauseTime – The Music that Inspired I Have People

I love to share what song goes with which scene in my books. 

11 – TheBroke Book Bank – Ten Things You Don’t Know About I Have People

My heroine’s name, Holly Noel, came from a friend who had a Christmas baby and named her Holly Noel. LOVE

12 – Mel’sShelves – Review; The Worth of a Soul

I was excited to get this guest post, The Worth of a Soul. This is one of my favorite conversations from the book, too.

14 – TheReaddicts – Review; Two Kinds of Love

I Have People was not an easy light read I was expecting but it was a good read none the less.

15 – Paulette’sPapers – A Gentleman Who Says “Gosh” Review

The hero of I Have People is a true gentleman and in many ways the perfect man. He’s kind, soft-spoken, polite to a fault, and compassionate.

          Christy’s Cozy Corner – Review; The Inspiration behind I Have People

I love Taylor Dean’s books. They always feel so real…One minute you’re feeling giddy with happiness and the next you’re filled with dread!

16 – fuonlyknew – ReviewThe Prologue to I Have People

You’ll cry, you’ll laugh, you’ll want to kick someone, but most importantly, you’ll want to hug someone.
You’ll want to hug “your people.”

17 – Tressa’sWishful Endings – Review; The Locations Featured in I Have People

I also really liked Holly’s character. She was sweet and still strong. 

18 – LiteraryWinner – Review

I have to say it’s a bit eye-opening that Holly felt that if she wasn’t actually hit by her abuser, then she wasn’t being abused.  I can imagine that this may be thought by other people in similar situations.  

19 – GettingYour Read On – Review; Soooo Cliche!

I.  Love.  I Have People.  This book kept me engaged the whole way

22 –  A Tiffyfit’s Reading Corner – My Favorite Character in I Have People

The main character, Holly, discovers that she does have ‘people’ in her life who are willing to help her out of a bad situation—she just has to let them. 

 – Beck Valley Books – The Title of I Have People

It was at this moment that I realized, I Have People, and I always will!

23 – Deco MyHeart – Review

This is an emotional story of domestic abuse and recovery, wonderfully written with realistic characters, and it will stay with you long after you finish. How I wish women (and men) that are bring abused would seek help and realize they have “people” too.

          Mrs. Mommy Booknerds Book Reviews – Review

Dean creates a story that is not only engaging, gritty and real

24 – GreenMountain Couple – Review

I cried with Holly and laughed with her too.

25 – icultgen – Friendship

Angela was fun to write. She is funny, blunt, loyal, and loves her ‘girl time.’

  – I Am a Reader, Not a Writer  – When is it Abuse

 – That Girl Reads – Review; Two Kinds of Men
26 – Grand Finale Blast!
