Title: Fighting Silence
Author: Aly Martinez
Genre: Romance
Publication Date: February 23, 2015
Sound is an abstract concept for most people. We spend our lives blocking out the static in order to focus on what we believe is important. But what if, when the clarity fades into silence, it's the obscure background noise that you would give anything to hold on to?
I've always been a fighter. With parents who barely managed to stay out of jail and two little brothers who narrowly avoided foster care, I became skilled at dodging the punches life threw at me. Growing up, I didn’t have anything I could call my own, but from the moment I met Eliza Reynolds, she was always mine. I became utterly addicted to her and the escape from reality we provided each other. Throughout the years, she had boyfriends and I had girlfriends, but there wasn't a single night that I didn’t hear her voice.
You see, meeting the love of my life at age thirteen was never part of my plan. However, neither was gradually going deaf at the age of twenty-one.
They both happened anyway.
Now, I'm on the ropes during the toughest battles of my life.
Fighting for my career.
Fighting the impending silence.
Fighting for her.
Every night, just before falling asleep, she sighs as a final conscious breath leaves her.
I think that's the sound I'll miss the most.
First of all Aly fuck me that was brilliant! Woman your talent is
awe-inspiring. I am a fan for life!
I loved all of these amazing characters; Till, Eliza, Quarry
and Flint. They are perfection.
God this storyline is beautiful, I honestly couldn’t get enough of
Till and Eliza. They have burrowed a place in my book whoring heart forever.
Happiness comes in many forms; embrace all of life, don’t let hurdles
stop you.
Till is one hell of a swooning man!
I loved him. Fark he is a HOT, broody alpha.
It was truly an inspiring read, hard to put down….so addicting! I was just so smitten with
this book.
Never, will I look at windows the same again. Just awww. Genius
people! I’m talking genius.
Goosebumps, nose stings and tears are what you’ve given me Aly; the
signs of a truly great read.
Silence doesn’t mean the end. Stand up and fight, never ever roll
over and give in. Fight the Silence.
I connected with these amazing characters so deeply; I hope we
get a hell of a lot more from them.
Life is what you make it. I love the life these two kids from poverty
accomplish, who they become.
Eliza is truly an incredibly woman, so supportive, brave and
resilient! Love a kick ass heroine!
Nothing beats hot sex scenes, cheese and rice does Aly deliver. Holy
hotness Batman!
Completely consumed, totally caught up and totally in love HARD with this book. A must
read.
Embrace your shortcomings…. are they even really shortcomings? Not to
Till Page.
By book end I was an emotional wreck I felt every emotion while
reading. Aly you killed it!
You, Aly Martinez have a gift, thank fuck, you are sharing it with the
world! You are amazing!
All I could think while reading was wow! This story is just WOW.
Live life to the fullest always is what Till Page represents.
You can’t control destiny, it’s important to fight, to live…to be
happy no matter what.
Might be ….no absolutely, one of my top reads of 2015.
Adversity is for the week. It takes greatness to overcome the shit that can be life.
Reality is tough, but use the door and choose forever. SWOON!
The Silencer preservers and prevails always, in the ring and in life.
Till page is amazing!
In the end love conquers all, money is important but nothing beats a strong
healthy family.
Navigating life with humor, love and dedication is the Page family
and they are beautiful.
Easily one of Aly’s best books, god this woman’s writing just keeps
getting better and better.
Zoinks! Am I ever suffering from a huge mother fucking book hangover! Bravo Aly:)

Excerpt
“Hi.” I stood up off the bed as he started climbing through the window.
His eyes went wide when he saw me, causing him to momentarily lose his balance on the windowsill and go crashing to the floor. “God. Damn,” he cursed as he rose to his feet while taking in my new wardrobe. “You… I…um…” His hand went to his lip.
He was rooted in place only a few steps away, but his eyes traveled over every inch of my body and back again.
Till was speechless. I had never felt so empowered in my life.
“Are you okay?” I feigned concern as I slowly approached.
“Not even close,” he told my breasts, making me giggle.
After sliding a hand under the edge of his T-shirt, I raked a fingernail over each of his abs before dipping it into the waistband of his jeans.
“I’m sore today,” I announced, closing the distance between us. My breasts were pressed against him, but he still hadn’t even attempted to touch me yet. I had plans to remedy that. I smirked then stood up on my tiptoes, kissing the base of his neck. “Make me sore for tomorrow too.” At the last second, I darted my tongue out to the hollow dip at the base of his neck. It was meant to tease him, but as the taste of his skin hit my tongue, I was flooded with memories of taking more of him in my mouth. The moan escaped before I’d even felt it coming.
A loud rumble shook his chest, but that was the only warning I received. Suddenly, I was off my feet and sailing through the air. Just as I landed on the bed, Till crashed on top of me. His mouth roughly landed on mine.
“Tell me we can’t do this again,” he demanded as his hands found my breasts.
“We’re definitely doing this again.” I arched into him.
“It’s gonna get so messy, Eliza. Please.” He groaned as I reached into the front of his jeans.
“I’m okay with messy,” I breathed, guiding his hand from my breast and into my panties.
“Fuuuuuck” he cursed when he discovered just how thorough I’d been with the razor earlier. His finger pressed inside me as his body traveled down the bed and settled between my legs, stripping my panties off during his descent.
He added another finger in a less than gentle but overwhelmingly intoxicating, rhythm.
“Tell me to stop, Eliza. We can’t do this again.” He grazed his teeth on the inside of my thigh.
“We’re already doing it.”
“Tell me to stop.”
“No.”
“It’s going to ruin us.”
“If you don’t stop talking, you’re going to ruin this.”
“I’m serious.” He kissed the inside of my other thigh, his fingers never faltering in their steady pace.
“So am I. Stop trying to talk yourself out of this while your fingers are buried inside me.” I threaded a hand into his hair and gave it a gentle tug.
“Goddammit. Tell me to stop!” he demanded one last time, but his fingers sped before twisting in the most delicious way.
I decided to give him what he wanted, but only because I knew he wouldn’t follow through.
“Stop.” I rolled my hips forcing him even deeper.
“Well, it’s too fucking late now.”
I would have laughed, but his mouth sealed over my clit and stole my breath, words, thoughts, and orgasm. My body shook as he pushed me higher even while I was falling. It shouldn’t have worked like that, but whatever voodoo magic Till Page was working with that night was all right with me. He didn’t stop swirling his tongue until I used his hair to pry his mouth away.
“Too much!” I cried.
He looked up with a wickedly proud grin. His hand disappeared, and seconds later, his cock replaced it.
