About Nicky

I live in the small town of Petrolia, Ontario, Canada and I am a mother to a wonderful teenage boy (didn’t think those words could be typed together…surprise) and wife to a truly supportive and understanding husband, who thankfully doesn’t think I’m crazy.
I have always had two profound dreams in life. To fall back hundreds of years in time and live in a simpler world, not bogged down by technology and to write novels. Since only one of these was a possibility I decided to make the other come alive on paper.

I write mm romance novels that take place in fantastical medieval type settings and love to use the challenges of the times to give my stories and characters life.

Review: To me, Something from Nothing is one of those rare books that have absolutely everything I want in a story….a world of kings and castles, enemies both within and outside the kingdom, power-hungry manipulators scheming behind the scenes, and surrounded by it all are Brandon Leeson, and Alastair Ellesmere, King of Edova.

Brandon has had to survive on his own from a very young age, and has always wanted to be a soldier. Alastair Ellesmere found out he was the heir to the king of Edova when he was nineteen, and has spent the last seven years under the scrutiny of the council appointed by his father to oversee his rule. Alastair only wants to be treated as a normal man, and resists any attempts to make him act otherwise.

When Alastair spots Brandon, the dirty, rough-looking young man amongst the batch of men answering his latest recruitment call, he makes the mistake of severely underestimating just skilled Brandon is, and loses the skirmish. This is the start of a strong friendship between them that quickly grows into something much deeper.

I absolutely love the way the author shows how strong the relationship between Brandon and Alastair is without having page after page of nothing but sex. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy reading about a hot, steamy sex scene, but I also like reading a great story where everyone isn’t constantly heating the sheets!

All in all, this is a fantastic, gripping, and enthralling tale that I will read over and over, and recommend it to everyone.
