Cameron Pierce is an overachiever—CEO of Regional Bank, force to be reckoned with in the Boardroom, and beautiful to boot. At 24, an earth-shattering event set her life goals. But is she fulfilled? Idolized by those around her she’s—kind, forceful, intelligent, driven, and successful. Cam is surrounded by close friends and consumed by her career.
At first glance, Dax Cooper appears to be a playboy—carefree, cocky, arrogant, and devoid of intelligent thought but sexy with a face and a body that drive women crazy. Cameron believes in this façade when he continually manages to walk right past her gatekeeper with constant interruptions. He is everything she doesn’t like in a male. Unlike Cam, Dax has walked away from a talent and a life that had been his passion in exchange for family and friends. Unmotivated by money and a career, he too is embarking on change.
Tragedy strikes Cameron for the second time in her life. Attacked by a stranger, in an instant, her life, her psyche, and the essence of her being appear to be permanently scarred at best. If she survives the physical injuries, will she survive the mental trauma?
Metamorphosis is the story of a woman’s struggle to regain her confidence and repair her shattered life following a random, brutal attack. With the help of the man she had pushed away, she chooses the path that she will follow for the rest of her life. She undergoes a metamorphosis—not by choice but by the will to survive.

I have a serious addiction to anything Coach and would live on Starbucks if I could get away with it. If you follow me on Facebook you’ll also find that I’m slightly enamored with Charlie Hunnam. I’m also a tad obsessed with tattoos and have thirteen scattered on my canvas. I’m an avid reader (literary whore to be more precise) averaging around 300 novels a year and wish I had time to read more.
I currently work full-time in the Greenville area and fill my “extra” time (haha) with reading anything I can get my hands on and writing contemporary romance novels with a hint of erotica. This has been a dream of mine for years and I couldn’t have done it without the support of my husband and BFF Tracy who both pushed me to keep going when I didn’t have the confidence or the patience.

Missy’s Review
3.5 stars for me.
I received a copy in exchange for an honest review. This is a story about a woman, Cam, who suffers a brutal attack and the man, Dax, who helps her recover and reconnect with her inner strength. Liked the story, but felt it was undeveloped. We find out that Dax, a Dom, has been watching her for a year, going so far as to tell his friends about her, and he even ceased sexual relations while pursuing her…. other than declining packages he attempts to personally deliver to her as a UPSish delivery guy, she has no idea who he is. I found it creepy he was so invested in her without her knowledge and without really knowing her. We never really do find out why and when he became enamored of her. I found it odd he stayed with her at the hospital after her attack and that she went home with him from the hospital. HE’S A STRANGER! They enter into a Dom/Sub relationship, initially without having sex, he just takes control of her well-being and she submissively let’s him. There are random jumps in time. It’s two month, then it’s six months. And, neither of them are working, just getting to know each other. Her girl posse is ok with their broken friend living with a male stranger after a brutal attack. There is also installed-love between them. These things impacted my rating. I did like how sweet he was to her, and his musical background was intriguing. I also liked that he was riding the line of selfish and selfless (he wanted her, no one else could have her- but he was the only person she felt at peace with and he put her needs first)…and the secondary characters were awesome. I also liked how she triumphed and turned what happened to her into an opportunity to help others and find her purpose. There were times I found myself skimming paragraph after paragraph of description though. When the author used dialogue instead to explain events, it was a better read. Interesting story, overall pretty good.
