Synopsis:
I was young enough not to understand that my life was different. Colin became the one person that I could count on to protect me. He suffered for the both of us by carrying the burden of our secret.
We were the lucky few that got a chance to start over. A fake family, a new home and a pretty little life built on lies. But while our lives continued to intertwine, we were put on very different paths. Now it was only a matter of time before they collide and the beast behind the beauty is exposed.
Donna’s 5 Star Review:
Life had been busy for me when I got this book, I would read a couple of pages and then get stuck off doing other things and then go back to this book.
Finally running on minimal sleep and knowing that I had to finish and have this review completed, I stopped everything and read.
Damn you lady, you keep getting me. Teresa Mummert is one of those Authors that doesn’t disappoint. I find myself waiting for each story she has with baited breath because I need a WHOLE LOT of Teresa in my life.

So now onto this book. Colin and Annie, what can I say. The way the book started out it kind of threw me for a loop, I didn’t know what was going on. (bobbing head under the desk) There was a lot of reading between the lines for me but as soon as I got into it I was hooked.
Innocence isn’t always as Innocent as it seems and it seems that there are a lot of things that aren’t what they seem. With that being said.
This story is one that just kicked my ass.
Both Colin and Annie grew up in some horrible situations, It made Colin hard and Annie held up a facade but was inside broken. It was these things that have them both leaning on each other as they complete them in the ways that they need.
I can’t give to much away, but you’ll soon learn not everything is an easy happy ending or perhaps not a happy ending at all.
For me I debated whether to give this story 4 or 5 stars, I wanted more romance but I really loved the dark aspect and I feel there aren’t that many dark stories out there that can really hold your interest.
So Pretty Little Things you get 5 stars & Teresa Mummert, you woman can write me a dark and dirty alpha male ANY day of the week.
Author Bio:
“I was a Russian spy at the ripe age of thirteen, given my uncanny ability to tell if someone was lying ( I also read fortunes on the weekends). By sixteen I had become too much of a handful for the Lethal Intelligence Ensemble (L.I.E.). I was quickly exiled to the south of France where I worked with wayward elephants in the Circus of Roaming Animals and People (C.R.A.P.). I was able to make ends meet by selling my organs on the black market for pocket change and beer money. At the age of twenty three I decided to expand my horizons and become a blackjack dealer in Ireland. I loved the family atmosphere at Barney’s Underground Liquor Lounge (B.U.L.L.). People couldn’t resist the allure of Liquor up front and poker in the rear. Eventually I became tired of the rear and headed off to the United States to try my hand at tall tales. That is what brings us here today. If you have a moment I’d like to tell you a story.
