Title: RawAuthor: Belle AuroraGenre: New Adult Dark RomanceRelease Date: January 3, 2014Hosted by: Love Between the Sheets Promotions
Growing up the way I did, you’d think I’d be more screwed up than what I actually am. Soon as I turned sixteen, I left that bump in the road I called home and took my chances on the street. Best decision I ever made. Now, at the age of twenty six, I’m educated, employed and damn good at my job. My friends have become my family. Like me, they know what it’s like to grow up unloved. But the saying is true. The world makes way for those who know where they are going. That’s me. I know where I’m going and I’ll get there eventually. On my own terms and at my own pace. But then there’s him. I feel his eyes on me. I see him hiding in plain sight. He watches me. He makes me feel. It’s unconventional. But it’s real. I’m sure you’re wondering how a person falls in love with their stalker. So am I. This isn’t a story. This is my life.Synopsis
*Author Note: This is not a love story. This is a story of love gone wrong.*

Raw was the first book in a long time that I was looking forward to reading, and let me just say that Belle did not disappoint! I am so glad that FMR was chosen to receive an ARC and that i had the privilege to review it.
I instantly fell in love with Twitch and Lexi and their relationship. I love that this book wasn't just your usual happily ever after, but that it actually dealt with serious issues that many people deal with but goes unnoticed.
At first I honestly didn't think I would like this book as much as I do as the idea of falling in love with a stalker confused me but if I had a stalker like Twitch i don't think I could stop myself.
This book was soo hard for me to finish, not because I didn't like it, but because I didn't want it to end. There were times throughout the book where I thought I knew what was going to happen and then other parts I was kept on my toes, trying to work out how a scene would end.
I have been a fan of Belle Aurora since Friend-zoned and have continued loving her books with 'Willing Captive' and now 'RAW'.

I don't want to give anything away but I highly recommend anyone that has liked Belle's past books to buy this one, you won't be disappointed!
This book has definitely given me a book hangover, and I anticipate Belle's next release!

Mini Teaser
Staring down at my chest, she takes a step closer to me and whispers miserably, “I’m here to let Brad fuck me.” My cheek ticks and head implodes. She steps closer to me to add, “He’s going to fuck me. Fuck me til I forget you. Til I forget I ever met you. He’s helping me drown you out and I like when I’m not thinkin’ about you.” She looks into my eyes and repeats on a whisper, “You’re poison.”
About the Author
Belle Aurora is twenty six years old and was born in the land down under. At an early age she fell in love with reading. Boredom one summer had her scouring the bookshelves at home. She stumbled across Sandra Brown’s Breath of Scandal and fell in love with romance. Having been brought up in a loud and boisterous family of Croatian descent, she developed a natural love for dramatics and humor. Only some years ago had she discovered a new love. Humorous romance novels. Kristen Ashley and R.L. Mathewson had opened a brand new world where she could lose herself yet feel safe and at home in their stories. Belle has been known to become a screeching banshee while anxiously awaiting their newest titles. Belle never thought she would write. It had never interested her until recently. Friend-Zoned began to form and in February this year Belle typed the words Chapter One. And she fell in love. With words. With writing. With a creative imagination she never knew she harbored.
