  • The Splendor of Antiquity

    Blurring the boundaries between reality and fantasy, can faith and science unite to save two desolate hearts? Will love triumph over rumor and deceit, and can a man and a woman put history aside and rediscover just how deep their passion for each other lies?

As Joliette pursues her obsession with death, she becomes bewitched by the spirit of a long dead God-King, and torn with despair, her grip on reality is tested. As Joliette attempts to decipher the incantations of a strange burial rite, painful memories from her own past begin to overcome her, and her faith in Botton is tested. Will she learn to trust him again, or will they slip farther away from one another, into the abyss and beyond?

  • The Thin Wall

    Young, innocent college freshman Laleana O-Reilly, disenchanted with societal norms, decides that she needs a new philosophy. One dreary late night in the college library, she discovers the Marquis deSade and Julian and through an unbridled act of passion, her innocence and naiveté were no more. The Thin Wall is a story of codependence, love, obsession, and the unadulterated surrender of one's body, mind, and soul. It’s a story of trust and friendship. Laleana’s struggle is one of faith, she teaches us that to accept and submit  to one’s desire is to receive bountiful pleasure, but to deny the need to be loved and accepted is to endure suffering beyond measure. Will Laleana have the strength to release herself from her bonds and find the love she seeks? The psychological subject matter and language may be innapropriate for some readers. Rated R -- Reader discretion is advised. Review: LL Book Review Cheryl Anne Gardner tears those walls down!

  • The Kissing Room

As she struggles with the guilt over her husband's suicide, Merle's gut-wrenching quest for redemption takes her on a downward spiral into a hell of her own making. Resigned to a life of self-mutilation, abuse, and despair, will she find hope in a mysterious stranger, or will she die, entangled in a sadistic relationship with her husband's best friend. The psychological subject matter and language may be innapropriate for some readers. Rated R -- Reader discretion is advised. Review: Cheryl Anne Gardner's passionate first novella, The Kissing Room, is a vivid and compelling tale of love, loss, and renewal. Gardner immerses the reader in hopelessness, destroys all sense of security, then delivers the reader into the comfort of redemption and release. There is an incredible amount of impact ... Her works demand an emotional response, causing the reader to observe the human condition honestly and in its rawest sense. An author that can create this much impact is a rarity, but Gardner has the ability to evoke such intense compassion that readers are left craving for more. --breenibooks.blogspot.com
