✨RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW✨
BLURB:
Secrets from his past have scarred his heart. Can he trust her enough to learn to love again?
In the eyes of the law, I’d atoned for the secrets of my past, but in my heart, I knew the debt I owed was too big to ever be repaid. I didn’t ask for forgiveness, because I knew I wasn’t worthy of it. Guilt weighed me down and scarred my heart.
If it wasn’t for my art, I’d probably be dead. The truth was, I had nothing else to live for. Or so I thought until Octavia Douglas came breezing unexpectedly into the picture.
Sexy, stubborn, and smart enough to know better than to throw her future away on a guy like me, Vivi made me question everything I thought I already knew. I suddenly craved the happy ever after I’d never dared dream of, and knew I didn’t deserve.

First of all let me say this is the first book by MV Ellis I have ever read. And what an introduction to a new to me author. I was so immersed in the story of Zed and Octavia (aka Vivi those closest to her).
Zed, a tattoo artist with a trouble soul, has vowed her would never be in a relationship. He can’t let go of the past and feels that a woman would only judge him by the mistake he made years ago even though he paid his dues. In addition to his mistakes, he has no relationship with his own family. The man has a heart of gold but masks it from most people. Most people cannot break through the walls he has built around himself, that is until Octavia Douglas comes into his life.
Octavia is a tenacious corporate lawyer who is in charge of Xavier Cross, the son of rich client Xander Cross. This is not what she signed up for in life. She’s now an overpaid babysitter to an ungrateful rich spoiled brat. Her personality is not exactly what she appears to be. Cool and collective at work but more of a free spirit when given the chance.
There is an instant attraction between Zed and Octavia at first glance. His shielded exterior meets her conservative yet spunky corporate side. Neither of them understand it but can’t seem to fight it. I also laughed at some of the banter between them especially after she starts tearing some his walls brick by brick. Their steamy chemistry heats up their attraction even more as the story progresses.
Both Zed and Octavia are well developed and well written characters. This is also the case for the supporting characters within their story. They say opposites attract and in Zed and Octavia’s story, this is so true. I highly recommend Zed and look forward to reading the upcoming books in the series.
I received an advance copy of Zed from Hot Tree Promotions in exchange for an honest review.
About MV Ellis
MV ELLIS knows what it's like to fall head over heels in love with a badass musician. She followed her heart halfway around the world to be with one. She moved from London to Sydney after a steamy holiday romance with a sexy bass player in sultry Brazil.
Twelve years, two children and a dog later, and she's still smitten. All this with a guy she sat next to on a bus for 36 hours! She has toured internationally as a 'WAG', and her experiences inspire her writing.
Ellis' love of romance began when she was 11 years old, after a summer spent secretly reading her auntie's books. She's been a sucker for an alpha hero and strong heroine ever since.
An avid reader, Ellis always knew that she'd write a book of her own one day. She was right about that. Following a career spanning advertising, marketing, and social media, she finally wrote Catching London in 2017.
