I remember reading Disastrous for the first time (yes I have read more than once) and swooning over Marcus De Luca like I had a teenage crush!  With that dirty mouth and alpha male persona what is not to love???!!!!!!!!  E.L. is getting set to release her new standalone Perfectly Damaged on May12th.

To celebrate the upcoming release we will feature E.L all week!  Be on the look out for some great teasers, her top 5 favorite books, and she will reveal her own book boyfriends.  To kick off the week, she will be taking over the blog tonight from 7-9 eastern!  Come on byand say hi! For now check out her upcoming release, Perfectly Damaged.



Schizoaffective disorder: a mental illness in which a person experiences a combination of mood disorder and schizophrenia symptoms.
I know about this illness—very well—because I suffer from it. It’s been four years since my diagnosis, and ever since, I’ve been living in a dark hole. Voices constantly invading my thoughts. Hallucinations. All of which force me to question if what I’m experiencing is even reality. 


But here I am, still hanging on, still breathing and living through it. 


That is, until he stumbled into my life. Logan Reed. I don’t want any part of him. I’ve pushed him away, but he isn’t easily deterred. I’ve told him I’m different, but he doesn’t care. He’s trying to slowly break me down. I’m trying just as hard not to let him. He doesn’t know how truly damaged I am; what will happen when he does? 


I know the truth—he’ll never be able to look at me the same way again. Just like everybody else.







USA Today Bestselling Author, E.L. Montes (Emmy Luz Montes) lives in Pennsylvania with her husband, Alex, and their English Bulldog name Butters. She has a Bachelor of Science in Legal Studies. Ms. Montes worked several years as a paralegal for a mid-size law firm. She had always loved the legal field and found it to be interesting.

 She more so "secretly" loved to write. Disastrous was her debut novel which was released October 2012. After the release of her second novel Ms. Montes took a huge leap, by leaving her fulltime job to focus on her writing career. She has and continues to write characters with flaws. Ms. Montes said, “No one is perfect and neither are my characters. It makes the storyline a bit more realistic, in my opinion. But I also feel no matter who you are or the life you have lived, everyone deserves someone to love and be loved. I’m a hopeless romantic, and enjoy writing a story where my readers feel like they’re living and feeling every emotion.”
