It’s never too late to make the best impulsive decision of your life.
Jo Masters isn’t the party girl she used to be, but now that she’s a woman without obligations, she’s
ready to recapture a little of her misspent youth. Her niece’s wedding, with its open bar and dark dance
floor, proves to be the perfect opportunity to let loose.
Gregory Stark is just trying to make it through his son’s wedding day... and make some time with the
gorgeous brunette on the bride’s side of the aisle. His kid’s wedding probably isn’t the best occasion to
put the moves on the sexy woman, who introduces herself only as ‘Josie’, but his best friend is closing in
on her too and he has to act fast. With a couple of tequila shots under his belt, Greg propositions Josie --
and neither wants to refuse.<br />

<span style="color: #660000; font-size: x-large;"><b>SNEAK PEAK!</b></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 252.0pt 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">The line at the bar
wasn’t long, but she needed a drink--a real drink--and she needed it fast. Jo
twirled her empty champagne flute and tapped her toe as the DJ made a
cringe-worthy segue between Louis Armstrong and Pink. A pang of regret tweaked
her stomach when she spotted her eldest brother, Tony, leading his baby girl
from the dance floor, but that was nothing new. She’d suffered so many pangs in
her life they’d become a part of her autonomic system. Breathe in, breathe out,
<i>pang</i>. Blink, sniffle, sneeze, <i>pang</i>. Go to bed alone--again--<i>pang</i>!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 252.0pt 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">At the tender age of
twenty-six, her niece had managed to accomplish everything Jo never had. Kaylin
had a career, a home of her own, and a man she loved so much she actually
glowed. Literally glowed. Jo hadn’t known such a glow since her mother stopped
slathering her sunburns in Noxzema.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 252.0pt 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Radiant happiness was
enough to drive a woman to drink.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 252.0pt 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Three groomsmen
bellied up to the bar and jockeyed for position in front of the pretty blond
bartender. Their voices rose as they trumped each other’s orders. Each
successive suggestion was an obvious attempt to prove the issuer was more
worldly, and therefore manly, than the last. The misguided boys must have believed
their ability to chug grain alcohol might make or break their chance at ending
the evening in the poor girl’s bed. The bartender eyed them with hardly-contained
disdain. The posturing little pricks didn’t notice. Jo couldn’t help but smile
when the girl rolled her eyes and went back to stacking glassware. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 252.0pt 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">What little buzz Jo
had managed to eke out of two glasses of table wine and a flute of champagne
began to wane. She considered goosing one of the guys to shock him into gear,
but then another tuxedo-clad man, murmuring quiet excuses, slipped in front of
her. The groomsmen jumped when the newcomer gripped their padded shoulders.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 252.0pt 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“Three beers for these
guys, please. Give them the imported stuff.” Casually, he stuffed a twenty-dollar
bill into the pitcher serving as a tip jar. “Having fun, fellas?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 252.0pt 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">The groomsmen replied
in the affirmative, but their cheeks glowed pink. Bravado squelched, they
grabbed their beers and beat a hasty retreat. The hero of the hour turned to
face Jo. Recognition kicked in. Saliva pooled in her mouth and a tingle of
awareness prickled the fine hairs at her nape. Her savior was none other than
the father of the groom. It took a fraction of a second for her brain to source
the pertinent facts Kaylin had imparted on Ben’s father. Gregory. Greg.
Divorced, devoted dad, and hot as Hades on a summer day. Confronted with him
now, Jo was happy to confirm the acute case of the bright shinies hadn’t skewed
her niece’s powers of observation. Gregory Stark was all that and more.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 252.0pt 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> He’d sneaked glances at her all through
the ceremony. Now, he grinned right at her. “Good to know I’ve still got it.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 252.0pt 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">His dark eyes glinted
with amusement. She wasn’t sure if he was referring to his ability to
circumvent a bar line, or the fact that she’d been unable to resist returning
every one of the furtive glances he’d tossed her way. Jo decided to play it
neutral.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 252.0pt 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Rolling her parched
tongue up off the carpet, she nodded the approbation he was obviously seeking.
“Effective.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 252.0pt 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">No lie. He was the
most attractive man she’d laid eyes on in forever. Which made perfect sense in
a bizarre Karmic way. Of course she had to meet this man after she’d poked a
nail through her last pair of control-top pantyhose.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 252.0pt 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Still, there was no
reason she couldn’t catalog every bit of him for later use. With a practiced
eye, she gauged him to be a few years older than her. Her guess put him
somewhere in his mid-fifties. Unlike most men, he hadn’t packed on any extra
cushioning for the slide into the AARP years. He was tall and lean, his
movements as taut and compelling as the lines bracketing his eyes and those
sculpted lips. His jaw was smooth and shiny, clean-shaven, but the shadow of a
heavy beard loomed below the surface. Jo wanted to know what else he kept
hidden under the slick exterior.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 252.0pt 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">He’d been seated in
the front pew at the ceremony beside his ex-wife and her husband. Jo wondered
what he’d done to earn ex status. For the life of her, she couldn’t imagine any
woman willingly giving this man up for the paunchy redhead who’d taken his
place.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 252.0pt 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">He nodded toward the
array of bottles behind the bar. “Champagne?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 252.0pt 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“God, no.” The
response was automatic. She hated champagne. Pure desperation forced her to
resort to the glass poured for the toasts because the dinner wine was long
gone. Now he was offering her more. The sparkling wine seemed an apt choice for
him. He looked like Cary Grant, what with the wings of silver in his dark hair,
the crinkly brown eyes sparkling with mischief, and the tuxedo. Maybe he was
offering her champagne because Cary Grant would offer her champagne. Cary would
call her “darling.” Would Gregory Stark call her “darling?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 252.0pt 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Something tugged at
her fingers. She stared in rapt fascination as he removed the forgotten flute
from her hand and placed it on the bar. “Oh. No. No more champagne.” She
managed a weak twitch of her lips. “Thank you.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 252.0pt 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">A proprietary hand
landed in the small of her back. Jo surrendered to the gentle pressure, closing
her eyes and imagining the pads of his fingers to be electrodes. Sparks sizzled
along her spine. He spread his fingers wide as he drew alongside her at the
bar. Arousal swept through her like a hot flash. Unlike those endless minutes
of core meltdown, this heat wasn’t something to be endured. His touch was a
treat to be savored. She opened her eyes and found him staring at her, his lips
parted and his eyes shining bright.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 252.0pt 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“What’ll it be, then?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 252.0pt 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“Tequila. Three
shots.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 252.0pt 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">The answer popped out
before her brain engaged. It was a ghost from her past. A remnant of the
reckless youth she’d left buried under a pile of soul-crushing responsibility.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 252.0pt 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“Whoa. Three?” He
craned his neck and scanned the room. “Maybe I should get one of the younger
guys back.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 252.0pt 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Once upon a time,
three was her magic number. The key to managing everything life had thrown at
her. Good and bad. The magic of three stopped being effective not long after
she’d turned thirty--a bitter disappointment she’d never managed to reconcile
with herself. Turns out, fate had her number in another way.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 252.0pt 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Well, screw fate.
She’d played the good girl long enough. Emboldened by the wine and the heat of
his hand scorching her back, she looked him square in the eye. “I have no use
for boys, <i>thankyouverymuch</i>. Don’t
worry. It’s okay if you can’t keep up. I won’t think less of you.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 252.0pt 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">He laughed. Not a
chuckle or a chortle, but a deep, rumbling, full-throated guffaw that wrapped
itself around her and drew her closer still. Or maybe he pulled her in with his
hand. Either way, she was within sniffing distance, so she took a hit. Pure
man. No flowery cologne masked the warm and musky mix of soap, shaving cream,
and some kind of whiskey. Thank God.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 252.0pt 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“Set ’em up,” he told
the bartender.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 252.0pt 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">The girl lined six
tiny glasses along the side rail. Pale amber liquid dribbled onto the bar when
she moved from glass to glass. She piled wedges of lime on a napkin and plunked
a saltcellar beside it. The furrow of concentration between the bartender’s
over-tweezed eyebrows smoothed when Greg shoved another bill into the tip jar.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 252.0pt 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">His hand fell away
from Jo’s back as they moved to the side of the bar. She kept her gaze
purposefully averted, trying not to pout over the loss. She raised one of the
shot glasses in silent salute then downed the tequila without benefit of salt
and lime.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 252.0pt 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">The alcohol blazed a
trail of fire in her throat. Jo gave her head a toss to soothe the burn. The
frank admiration in her companion’s gaze made her pussy tingle with arousal.
Her body’s response to this gorgeous stranger startled her. Deep in her heart,
she feared she was past all desire.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 252.0pt 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">He leaned in closer. “What’s
your name?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 252.0pt 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">The answer leapt to
her tongue, but she bit it back. For one night, this night with this man, she
didn’t want to be sad old Aunt Jo. She wanted to be the woman she’d been back
in the days before she had to be seated with one of her cousins to round out a
table. She wanted to be the girl who thought she had all the time in the world.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 252.0pt 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Fixing Kaylin’s new
father-in-law with a bold stare, she raised a challenging eyebrow. “Jose.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 252.0pt 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“As in Cuervo?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 252.0pt 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“Exactly.” When he
opened his mouth again, she held up one hand and dredged up the name she used
in those wild days of time and tequila. “But you can call me Josie.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 252.0pt 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">He blinked once then
cocked his head, studying her for one long moment. He reached for a glass. The
wry twist of his lips told her he was certain she’d given him a fake name, but
he didn’t seem to care too terribly much. He eyed her over the rim of the tiny
glass. “Nice to meet you, Josie. I’m Greg.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 252.0pt 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Silver cufflinks
flashed as he tossed the shot back. He chased the booze with a low growl. A
golden drop clung to his upper lip. Jo wiped it away with the pad of her thumb
but froze as she pulled away. They stared at one another, arrested by her sheer
audacity. Mortification set the tips of her ears on fire. She tried to finish
her retreat, but he captured her wrist.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 252.0pt 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“Thank you.” He gave her
a gentle squeeze. “Tell me, Josie, are you a pussycat?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 252.0pt 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Jo laughed. And, damn,
it felt good. She was flirting with a handsome man, and he was flirting back
with enthusiasm. Quite a rush for a woman long out of practice. She swallowed
the lump in her throat and lowered her gaze along with her wayward hand,
wondering if her rusty skills were obvious.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 252.0pt 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“Uh-uh. Don’t try to
play shy with me now,” he admonished. When she didn’t respond, he leaned close.
His breath stirred her hair and tickled her ear. “You’re the most intriguing
woman here, and you damn well know it.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 252.0pt 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Pleasure ran warm and
thick in her veins. Jo closed her eyes, giving herself over to the vague pain
of her nipples tightening and the quickening of her pulse. “Do I?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 252.0pt 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“I noticed you in the
church.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 252.0pt 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">A shiver tripped along
her spine. She tipped her head, surrendering to the moist caress of his breath.
“You did?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 252.0pt 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“I couldn’t stop looking
at you.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 252.0pt 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Though she’d noticed,
the bold confession still stunned her. In the way of women too used to being
invisible, she’d denied the tingle of knowledge. Hard to believe a man so
handsome might find her attractive. For too long she’d played the part of plain
old Aunt Jo.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 252.0pt 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“I can’t stop looking
at you now.” The husky admission pried her eyes open. “I had to find you.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 252.0pt 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">The urgency in his
tone gave her the boost she needed. Oh, how she wanted to be Josie with the
tequila shots once more. With him. For him. Flashing a sly glance, she reached
for a second tiny glass. “And now you have.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 252.0pt 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">He snatched a glass
from the bar and touched the rim to hers. His gaze bore into her, unwavering
and intense. “And now I have.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

When the St. Blaise Regional Medical Center Board of Directors hired hometown girl, Beth Watkins, to jump-start their public relations, they never imagined she’d be stripping their most prominent doctors, nurses, and support staff down to their birthday suits in order to beef up the hospital’s bank account.</div>

Six men and six women were chosen to represent the best and brightest of this little town nestled in the heart of the Mark Twain National Forest. They also happened to be the hottest tickets in town.

Matt’s been sidelined by a combat injury, and haunted by the best friend he lost and the promise he made: to remain a SEAL—focused and dedicated. This leaves no time for what he’s always wanted: a family.</span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"> </span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><em style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">But a week is all it takes. . . . </em><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">Matt opens her heart while Abby soothes his soul.

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">I really didn't like <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Worth-Fall-McKinney-Brothers-Book-ebook/dp/B00J1IQX4E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1416150416&sr=8-1&keywords=Worth+the+Fall" target="_blank">Worth the Fall</a>. It was so far out there that it </span></span><span style="line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">bordered</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"> on fantasy. I love my contemporary romances to be as real as possible and the plot in <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Worth-Fall-McKinney-Brothers-Book-ebook/dp/B00J1IQX4E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1416150416&sr=8-1&keywords=Worth+the+Fall" target="_blank">Worth the Fall</a> was far reaching. </span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"><br /></span></span></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">The author would have you believe that a pregnant widow </span></span><span style="line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">along with her four little children vacationing on a beach would be attractive to a hot, studly young Navy Seal. At five months pregnant, wearing a swimsuit and looking after young children including a toddler, Abby would be not be a prime target for a hot dude on a beach. Sorry, no amount of convincing would say otherwise. Now if he was already with Abby and it was his family, for sure she would be appear attractive to him. I'm not saying that pregnant women are not attractive. No! I'm not saying that at all. I am just saying that he would not even notice her. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">Events kept happening that would make my eyes roll. For instance, Abby was at the beach with her horde of kids and she talked on the phone with a girl friend. One of the first things the girl friend asks is if she met someone. Who would think to ask that question? Abby,with her belly showing and all her kids on vacation and the first thing a friend asks is if she has met someone? As if! How would Abby meet someone? Make her toddlers babysit themselves in front of the TV and she'd wade up to the swim bar? Just dumb. Not to mention that Abby's husband had just passed away 6 months ago. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">It seemed like all the secondary characters were jerks or villains. Even Abby's dead husband was a jerk but that didn't stop her from making 5 kids with him. I don't understand why the author kept making everyone mean. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">Then the one person that I did expect to not be accepting of Abby and her kids hooking up with Matt was his mom. I mean what mom would be pleased that her single son takes up with a pregnant woman and her kids? Matt's mother was hestitant for maybe one day and then she was completely accepting. I didn't buy it. Even if Abby's mom decided she liked Abby and her family, there would still be a part of her that would want differently. Especially in under one week. I am sure after a length of time Matt's mom would change but not this quickly. No way. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">As cute as Abby's children were, they were too perfect. They were never cranky or tired and they didn't fight with their siblings. They never had temper tantrums and were just cute 100% of the time. A complete fable. Also perfect was Matt. There was not one thing wrong with him. He said all the right things. He didn't have one flaw and the one mistake he do was unbelievable. (There's this new invention called a telephone people) Humans like Matt just don't exist except in an author's fantasy world maybe. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">I only finished <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Worth-Fall-McKinney-Brothers-Book-ebook/dp/B00J1IQX4E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1416150416&sr=8-1&keywords=Worth+the+Fall" target="_blank">Worth the Fall</a> because my friend read it and really wanted to discuss it with me. Otherwise I would have chucked it to the side. </span></span><br />

Now a little older and wiser, she’s ready to return to the Blue Heron Winery, her family’s vineyard, to confront the ghosts of her past, and maybe enjoy a glass of red. After all, there’s some great scenery there....</span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 19px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 19px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 19px;">Like Levi Cooper, the local police chief - and best friend of her former fiancé. There’s a lot about Levi that Faith never noticed, and it’s not just those deep green eyes. The only catch is she’s having a hard time forgetting that he helped ruin her wedding all those years ago. If she can find a minute amidst all her family drama to stop and smell the rosé, she just might find a reason to stay at Blue Heron, and finish that walk down the aisle.</span></b></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 19px;">My very first Kristan Higgins book. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 19px;">I just loved it. Unlike her scores of fans, I can't compare <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Best-Man-Hqn-Kristan-Higgins/dp/0373777922/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1414541224&sr=1-1&keywords=the+best+man+by+kristan+higgins" target="_blank">The Best Man</a> to her other books. It is interesting that some of my other friends who devour Kristan Higgins' books didn't care for <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Best-Man-Hqn-Kristan-Higgins/dp/0373777922/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1414541224&sr=1-1&keywords=the+best+man+by+kristan+higgins" target="_blank">The Best Man</a>. For me this news is fabulous because if I loved <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Best-Man-Hqn-Kristan-Higgins/dp/0373777922/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1414541224&sr=1-1&keywords=the+best+man+by+kristan+higgins" target="_blank">The Best Man</a> as much as I did, I must be in for a real treat when I read her other books. Oh yes I most definitely am going to read her other books. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">I am a book heroine lover. Faith had me in stitches. Her personality gave me constant chuckles. The situations that she found herself in and the way she handled them were so relatable to me. I will share a small spoiler that the bathroom scene in the restaurant had me laughing so hard, I lost my breath. I was dying people. Dying!!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">Faith was left at the alter by her long time boyfriend, Jeremy. I loved how Kristan Higgins didn't make Jeremy out to the be the villain when he came out of the closet. In fact, the entire handling of the situation was stellar. Faith earned a lot of respect from me on how well she handled the news about him being gay. She was still wearing her wedding gown at the church. It broke my heart. You can always deal with another woman but there is nothing you can do about him being gay. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">I also really liked how Kristan Higgins continued to make Jeremy a likeable character throughout the story. There was no reason to needlessly make him out to the bad guy. Major points from me on this plot direction. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">Levi was Jeremy's best man and his best friend. Levi is the strong silent type. Like really silent. He didn't have many lines or at least it didn't seem like it. As a reader you end up judging Levi more on his actions rather than his conversation. I liked him even though he was hard to read.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">The dog Blue was an excellent secondary character and he acted exactly the way a golden retriever acts. Blue had me missing my own golden that passed away years ago. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">The Holland family seemed like a great bunch and their dinner time conversations also had me giggling. A big bustling family with all of them having something to say. The dynamics of Faith's grandparents was very interesting. I actually thought they had the most believable long term marriage that I have ever read about. 65 years is a very long time to be married. Its not always sunshine and roses and in fact 65 years is a long time to also build up resentments. Another set of major points from me for being so realistic. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">I will not hesitate to move on to the next book. In fact, just getting ready to start it next. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: red; line-height: 19px;"><b>Teasers:</b></span><span style="line-height: 19px;"> child-sucking toilets, nicely incorporated epilepsy as part of a main character's life, heart shaped rock, Dad dating lessons</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">Yay! My favourite naughty author, Maggie Wells had a newly published story, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Last-First-Date-Contemporary-Romance-ebook/dp/B00KPJNJTA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1409971451&sr=8-1&keywords=the+last+first+date" target="_blank">The Last First Date</a>. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">Have you ever just dashed to the store wearing your old yoga pants, no makeup, perhaps even a hat to cover your messy hair and then worry you may run into an old boyfriend or someone you know? Well that's what happened to Jessica except she was wearing track pants and a puffy hot pink coat with a broken zipper. Just a quick jaunt to the store for your chip fix and presto there is a heartthrob, Langley. Of course Langley is wearing a suit and dress shoes and looks good enough to lick. I felt for Jessica. The last person you'd want to run into is a hottie like Langley when you feel you look your worst and miserable sleety weather is blowing all around . To top it all off, Jessica just discovered that her car is broken down. Regardless, the chemistry between the pair was still there. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">I loved how the story moved forward from their first encounter. A series of entertaining events finally gets them inside Jessica's house where the freezing New Year's Eve temp outside is quickly forgotten. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">Langley is a stand up guy and Jessica is highly likeable. Erotic authors like Maggie Wells impress me with their ability to write steamy sex scenes when a couple barely knows each other. I mean, does that happen in real life? (Well, not in my circle anyhow) Yet, Langley and Jessica having hot lustful sex comes across as totally believable. They connected. They aren't slutty. In fact, they seem very ordinary with Langley loving his grandma and Jessica was wearing shoes with holes in them. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">One of the things that draws me to Maggie Wells' stories is how she writes the couple's banter and their conversations. There is always underlying humour but not laugh out loud forced humour. Even during sex there is conversation. Her protagonists are so likeable. I was once again treated to this banter in <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Last-First-Date-Contemporary-Romance-ebook/dp/B00KPJNJTA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1409971451&sr=8-1&keywords=the+last+first+date" target="_blank">The Last First Date</a>. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">I wish it didn't end so quickly for Lang and Jessica. I'd love to read more about their story and future. As usual, I just want more of Maggie Wells' story. </span></span><br />

It was a pleasure to read about each of their different </span>personalites and how they found love. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Real life love. <span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="color: #999999; font-size: x-large;"><b>Book Blurb:</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #999999; font-size: large;"><b><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 19px;">Dorothy Kelley is a born romantic, searching for her prince. Instead she finds herself pregnant at fifteen, and in a loveless marriage by the tender age of eighteen. </span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 19px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 19px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 19px;">Then hope comes riding into her life on a motorcycle and within weeks, Jason “Jase” Brady, a member of the Hell’s Horsemen Motorcycle Club, sweeps Dorothy off her feet.</span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 19px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 19px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 19px;">But nothing is ever simple for Dorothy. Jase is married with children. And as Dorothy patiently waits for Jase to give her the happily-ever-after she’s been dreaming about, James “Hawk” Young, a member of the Hell’s Horsemen with secrets of his own, sees an opening into Dorothy’s life and takes it.</span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 19px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 19px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 19px;">Carrying on two secret affairs is no easy feat. As Dorothy tries to dig herself out of the mess she’s created, covering one mistake with another, tragedy strikes, nearly costing Dorothy her life and that of her unborn son.</span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 19px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 19px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 19px;">What follows is a long and painful journey of self-discovery and forgiveness, as Dorothy comes to realize that home was exactly where she’d left it, and the love she’d forever craved had always been within her reach.</span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 19px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 19px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 19px;">This is the story of Dorothy, Jase, and Hawk.</span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 19px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 19px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 19px;">We are all born pure; it is our journey that burdens us and leads us astray. Our mistakes that beat us down and cover us in guilt and shame, burying us a little more with each passing hardship. It is up to us to dig ourselves out, to come to terms with our faults, to embrace not only our imperfections but those of the ones we love, and to once again find the path we strayed from. </span></b></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">Not a stand alone book. You need to read the series from the start. </span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">I really wasn't sure what to expect from <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Unbeloved-Undeniable-Book-Madeline-Sheehan-ebook/dp/B00L9HIR4E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1409076931&sr=8-1&keywords=unbeloved" target="_blank">Unbeloved</a>. In my mind there was no way this trio of Hawke, Dorothy and Jase would not be a triade love affair. The author never leaned toward that sort of arrangement so I pretty much figured someone would come out the loser here. I did not read other reviews because lets face it, if you have started this Undeniable series, you're sticking with it. You don't really care what others are going to say about it because you are dedicated. Having said that, I won't waste much of your time with a long, drawn-out review. </span></span><br />

You experience their pains. You get frustrated with their biker brotherhood "system" and you get mad at circumstances that are beyond anyone's control. Some stuff in life is not fair and there is a lot of that in <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Unbeloved-Undeniable-Book-Madeline-Sheehan-ebook/dp/B00L9HIR4E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1409076931&sr=8-1&keywords=unbeloved" target="_blank">Unbeloved</a>. I was so spitting mad at times. Not mad like I was planning on stopping the novel. NO! Mad at the circumstances that were to come to be. Life is too short. I aged right alongside the Horsemen and their families. My heart broke for Dorothy for all the wrongs she has had to bear and continued to bear. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">As for the heat level, </span><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Unbeloved-Undeniable-Book-Madeline-Sheehan-ebook/dp/B00L9HIR4E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1409076931&sr=8-1&keywords=unbeloved" style="line-height: 19px;" target="_blank">Unbeloved</a><span style="line-height: 19px;"> was quite a bit more mellow compared to the previous books but probably considered very steamy in comparisons to the genre at whole. The sex in Unbeloved was relevant to the situation in every spot. Not just thrown in for shock or the erotic factor. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">All in all, the story was beautifully told by the amazing writing of Madeline Sheehan. That author can write!!! </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">Now about the ending and the book that will come to be regarding ZZ's story; I haven't a clue what Madeline Sheehan is going to do there. As it stands now, there is very little that could redeem ZZ to me. There is a line where I think a character crosses before I can forgive and that line has been crossed ZZ. I don't can if he had the worst bringing up ever, the dude is lost to me and way past redemption. I hope he gets his due. As Deuce would say, "ZZ has to go to ground."</span></span><br />

Thanks to paper-thin walls and the guy's athletic prowess, she can hear not just his bed banging against the wall but the ecstatic response of what seems (as loud night after loud night goes by) like an endless parade of women. And since Caroline is currently on a self-imposed dating hiatus, and her neighbor is clearly lethally attractive to women, she finds her fantasies keep her awake even longer than the noise. So when the wallbanging threatens to literally bounce her out of bed, Caroline, clad in sexual frustration and a pink baby-doll nightie, confronts Simon Parker, her heard-but-never-seen neighbor. The tension between them is as thick as the walls are thin, and the results just as mixed. Suddenly, Caroline is finding she may have discovered a whole new definition of neighborly...</span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">In a delicious mix of silly and steamy, Alice Clayton dishes out a hot and hilarious tale of exasperation at first sight...</span></b></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">What a fun read. I stayed up late two nights in a row reading this <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Wallbanger-Cocktail-Book-Alice-Clayton-ebook/dp/B00B73MULG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1409076869&sr=8-1&keywords=wallbanger" target="_blank">Wallbanger</a> novel. I loved it! Caroline had such a fun personality and she could turn around any situation and add a bit of humour to it. I loved her attitude. Even when she was emotionally hurting she only took a short breather to give herself a pep talk and turn it around positively. She is someone you would want in your life so it is no wonder Simon fell for her. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">Caroline had a disadvantage and an advantage with Simon. I couldn't imagine having to listen to his bedroom activities through their joined wall and then start to date him. She certainly knew what she was getting into with him. Well sexually speaking I mean. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">Their slow courtship was simmering goodness. That is how I knew Simon really liked her. He didn't try to rush a sexual relationship with her and they had so much fun just hanging out. I relished with a big smile on my face reading about the pair hanging out together. The sexual tension and flirtations were a riot. I especially liked a certain baking scene. *grins*</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-size: x-large;"><b>Book Blurb:</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-size: large;"><b><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 19px;">Trenton, New Jersey’s favorite used-car dealer, Jimmy Poletti, was caught selling a lot more than used cars out of his dealerships. Now he’s out on bail and has missed his date in court, and bounty hunter Stephanie Plum is looking to bring him in. Leads are quickly turning into dead ends, and all too frequently into dead bodies. Even Joe Morelli, the city’s hottest cop, is struggling to find a clue to the suspected killer’s whereabouts. These are desperate times, and they call for desperate measures. So Stephanie is going to have to do something she really doesn’t want to do: protect former hospital security guard and general pain in her behind Randy Briggs. Briggs was picking up quick cash as Poletti’s bookkeeper and knows all his boss’s dirty secrets. Now Briggs is next on Poletti’s list of people to put six feet under.</span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 19px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 19px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 19px;">To top things off, Ranger—resident security expert and Stephanie’s greatest temptation—has been the target of an assassination plot. He’s dodged the bullet this time, but if Ranger wants to survive the next attempt on his life, he’ll have to enlist Stephanie’s help and reveal a bit more of his mysterious past.</span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 19px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 19px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 19px;">Death threats, highly trained assassins, highly untrained assassins, and Stark Street being overrun by a pack of feral Chihuahuas are all in a day’s work for Stephanie Plum. The real challenge is dealing with her Grandma Mazur’s wild bucket list. A boob job and getting revenge on Joe Morelli’s Grandma Bella can barely hold a candle to what’s number one on the list—but that’s top secret.</span></b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">Guess what? I actually liked <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/19004663-top-secret-twenty-one?ac=1" target="_blank">Top Secret Twenty-One</a>. I loved that it wasn't as whimsical or quirky and there was actually a bit of mystery this time. Oh yes, Ranger was in <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/19004663-top-secret-twenty-one?ac=1" target="_blank">Top Secret Twenty-One</a> a lot more too so that was a total bonus. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">Yes there was the very exact same formula in every other previous book. Stephanie's mom continues to relieve her stress by ironing, lots of explosions, lots of pizza and donuts and Stephanie's grandma is hilarious.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">I did find the writing style a bit different this book though. The plot seemed to actually have a mystery behind it which is something I have missed when Janet Evanovich's previous books hit the midteens. I don't think I have rated her books a 5 star since Twelve Sharp and <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/19004663-top-secret-twenty-one?ac=1" target="_blank">Top Secret Twenty One</a> won't be getting one either. However, I did enjoy it a lot and it was great reading. There are the guaranteed laugh out loud moments and for sure the great big smiles. I read the majority of the book in the waiting room at the hospital and people kept looking over at me every time I giggled. That happened a lot so that was a good sign. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">I will continue to purchase these feel good books because they serve their purpose with me. I smile. I laugh. I giggle. Worth the money. </span></span><br />

She had tried to be the very essence of the modern American woman -- competent yet sexy, financially independent yet ready to love and be loved. She had planned this holiday tour with special care, wanting everything to be perfect for Robert, the man she hoped one day to marry. Yet here she was, after a stupid quarrel, abandoned in a church in the midst of rural England. Abandoned, with no luggage, no money, no credit cards, while Robert drove off without so much as a backward glance. </b></span></span><br />

Suddenly, as if in answer to her prayers, the most extraordinary man stood before her.... He was Nicholas Stafford, Earl of Thornwyck, who accodring to his tombstone had died in 1564. Tall, broad-shouldered, attired in gleaming silver and gold, he was magnificent. He stood in the dim light of the church, thunderstruck, drinking her in: her strange costume, the uncased hair that flowed to her shoulders, her long, lovely, BARE legs. He could scarce keep his wits about him, but of one thing he was certain -- she was the most beautiful creature he had ever seen. Drawn to his side by a bond so sudden and compelling it overshadowed reason, Dougless knew that Nicholas was nothing less than a miracle: a man who would not seek to change her, who found her perfect, fascinating, just as she was. Yet she could not imagine how strong were the chains that tied them to the past... or the grand adventure that lay before them.…</b></span></span><br />

Years and years I'm telling you. I was finally motivated to read it because I really wanted to read an exceptional historical romance and something that was a "sure thing" as a great read. I've often heard that <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Knight-Shining-Montgomery-Taggert-Family-ebook/dp/B000FC0QO8/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1407191375&sr=1-1&keywords=a+knight+in+shining+armor" target="_blank">A Knight in Shining Armor</a> is some people's all time favourite historical romance so I pretty much figured that with an exclusive label like that, I certainly would be bound to like it. </span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;"><span style="font-size: large;">And I did. I loved it. I admit to being a little iffy at the beginning because Dougless certainly seemed as close to a doormat as possible but she definitely redeems herself throughout the book. </span></span><br />

Half the book takes place in modern times (in this case the 1980's) and the other half of the book takes place in the 1560's. It was a really good plot and it was a page turner for me. There wasn't any cliffhangers or anything like that and I really liked that is was not as predictable as some romance novels can be. I liked that. I liked that the story didn't allow their romance to come easy and smooth. There were a lot of bumps along the way and much conflict to overcome. I liked that a lot too. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">First let me start off and say I hate serial books. Totally hate them. However I did bite at <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Entwined-Jane-Jungle-Erotic-Adventures-ebook/dp/B007144QCG/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1407346142&sr=1-1&keywords=entwined+jane+in+the+jungle" target="_blank">Entwined</a> for two reasons. One, it was free. Second, it was a Tarzan and Jane book. I have always been so intrigued with Tarzan and Jane and I thought there certainly isn't any harm is downloading a freebie from Amazon.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">I wasn't disappointed but I also wasn't thrilled either. I would bet if I read this story as a full length novel, I'd have liked it a whole bunch more. One of the reasons I despise serial books is because each book leaves off on a cliffhanger and you are forced to buy the next installment to read on. I really really reallllly hate that. It is such a turn off for me. I'd rather have spent $5 and got the entire book than a grabby grab for a continuous purchases. Oh well, I knew that going in so I shouldn't really complain. Good on the author for letting it been known in the book blurb that it is a serial book before you buy. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">The writing was really good. Great descriptions. Easy to follow and even though it was a novella, I got to know the characters pretty fast. Since it is an erotic novella, there are a few great steamy scenes. Of course you have to read further into the series to get the smoking steamy scenes. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">Couldn't go wrong for a free purchase but the carrot that was dangled in front of my face at the end did not entice me to move on to the next book. </span></span><br />

<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;"><b><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 19px;">Few things in life can come between a grim reaper and her coffee, but the sexy, sultry son of Satan is one of them. Now that Reyes Farrow has asked for her hand, Charley Davidson feels it's time to learn more about his past, but Reyes is reluctant to open up. When the official FBI file of his childhood abduction lands in her lap, Charley decides to go behind her mysterious beau’s back and conduct her own investigation. Because what could go wrong?</span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 19px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 19px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 19px;">Unfortunately, another case has fallen into her lap—one with dangerous implications. Some very insistent men want Charley to hunt down a witness who is scheduled to testify against their boss, a major player in the local crime syndicate. If Charley doesn't come up with an address in 48 hours, the people closest to her will start to disappear. </span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 19px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 19px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 19px;">Add to that a desperate man in search of the soul he lost in a card game, a dogged mother determined to find the ghost of her son, and a beautiful, young Deaf boy haunted by his new ability to see the departed as clearly as he sees the living, and Charley has her hands full. The fact that Reyes has caught on to her latest venture only adds fuel to the inferno that he is. Good thing for Charley she's used to multi-tasking and always up for a challenge…especially when that challenge comes in the form of Reyes Farrow.</span></b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">Darynda Jones and her Charley Davidson series is on a very short list of mine where by I'll pay the huge ebook price for her books. They are so worth it. Never has a female protagonist been so funny yet so smart. The combination makes excellent reading. Thank goodness for authors like Darynda Jones who can write funny scenes without making them forced humour. If Charley was real, I'd want to be her friend and hang out. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">The Charley Davidson series just gets better and better with each book. These books are not stand alones so you would be lost if you just picked up this sixth novel. Don't do it. Go and get the first book, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/First-Grave-Right-Charley-Davidson-ebook/dp/B0044781TW/ref=sr_1_1_ha?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1407076466&sr=1-1&keywords=First+Grave+on+the+Right" target="_blank">First Grave on the Right</a>, and then devour each and every chapter one after another. You will love them. With thousands and thousands of reviews, each book receives super high ratings. Mine is no different with a perfect 5 out of 5. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">I love the slow progression with having Charley understand her abilities. In doing so, the author can plan out better novels as each book brings a new dimension to Charley's character. Charley's boyfriend, Reyes Farrow just gets more delicious with each book as well. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">We are introduced to a new character, "The Dealer" in <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Sixth-Grave-Edge-Charley-Davidson-ebook/dp/B00GL442Q2/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1407076395&sr=1-1&keywords=sixth+grave+on+the+edge" target="_blank">Sixth Grave on the Edge</a>. I like him. A lot in fact BUT having said that, just like our beloved Reyes, there is so much mystery sounding him that we have yet to determine if he is evil or good. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">The much loved secondary characters all reappear in at least one scene and each one is a scene stealer. Cookie, Charley's best friend, remains as cool as always and is still the number one best fictional BFF in my opinion.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">There are a good many questions left unanswered in this installment. Things that I am just dying to understand. Great cliffhanger but not the sort of cliffhanger that is going to leave you restless until the next book is released. </span></span><br />

Have you noticed in the past little while it is increasingly becoming difficult to search out erotic romance books on Amazon? I sure have. Even typing in the author's name and book title sometimes does not result in a positive search. Well today one of my favourite erotic authors, Claire Thompson, made a post on her Facebook asking people to share the following information. Perhaps this may help?<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge3zg-l1smkro8eS9LhyUpO7xIXzq0iWhBqu-hJVaAM4HL_EpYrrXaih7chbPvUixqvsKJz1kGpayJrIifGnl4M9s0ou_BMfwHL3Q9xb29gEBQlGeN_V9cg-l8wSJbzu4G0dzR0gCxcdOD/s1600/Erotic.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge3zg-l1smkro8eS9LhyUpO7xIXzq0iWhBqu-hJVaAM4HL_EpYrrXaih7chbPvUixqvsKJz1kGpayJrIifGnl4M9s0ou_BMfwHL3Q9xb29gEBQlGeN_V9cg-l8wSJbzu4G0dzR0gCxcdOD/s1600/Erotic.jpg" /></a></div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Amazon is on a mission to flag adult content and keep it out of the general audience search engines.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
What it means to you is that you will not see any adult material in your search -- UNLESS you enable your account for adult content. Which means titles by MLR, Dreamspinner, Totally Bound, eXtasy, Amber Allure and all the other publishers that you love won't show up unless you tweak your account.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Here's how to do it:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Select Kindle Store in the search drop down. Search for the title of an adult book (example:Cuffed by Megan Slayer). You'll receive the following message:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
"Your search contains adult items which have been hidden. If you wish to see them, click here."</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Once you enable adult content on your computer, all the books will show up again.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
If you're using a browser cleaner, you'll need to tell it to leave Amazon's cookies alone, or repeat this process each time it runs.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; display: inline; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-top: 6px;">
Pass this on so everyone learns about it. Wouldn't want you to miss out on a new title from your favorite author.</div>
<div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; display: inline; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-top: 6px;">

Across the border. A trunk full of dirty books and dildos proves enough to amp up her nerves and make her lips flap faster than the maple leaf flag.</span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">But she’s not going anywhere until George Petropoulos gives the go-ahead.</span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">The Greek god of a border guard has something other than national security in mind when he detains this particular citizen.

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">A few years ago, two readers and two authors decided to carpool from Canada to the US to attend a popular book convention. As we crossed the border, we all swooned because our crossing guard was hot. There is just something so attractive about a man with a commanding presence, wearing an uniform and oozing intimidation. Oh yeah, he was totally good looking to top it off. Right then as he questioned our drestination and other security questions, the story <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Crossing-Line-Evelyn-Jules-ebook/dp/B00M1334NO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1406925644&sr=8-1&keywords=crossing+the+line+by+evelyn+jules" target="_blank">Crossing the Line</a> started to form in Evenlyn Jules' dirty smutty mind.

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 19.31999969482422px;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Crossing-Line-Evelyn-Jules-ebook/dp/B00M1334NO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1406925644&sr=8-1&keywords=crossing+the+line+by+evelyn+jules" target="_blank">Crossing the Line</a> is very sexy and is quite possibly one of those many fantasies that women have when they see those </span></span><span style="line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">smoldering,</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 19.31999969482422px;"> serious border crossing officers. I wasn't sure how Evelyn Jules was going to get the protagonists from the crossing line to crossing THE line but it was done is perfect manner and you could almost envision it. (oh come on, let the fantasy ride ladies!)</span></span></span></span><br />

I loved how the story came to be. I love how it was orchestrated. I loved how the author was still able to offer an air of innocence to the erotic protagonists and I loved the completely affordable price of .99 for an amazing memorable hot read. I am not sure if I will ever see a border crossing officer in the same light again. </span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-size: large; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">Well I'm back from my long hiatus. Did you miss me? Well I missed you. I missed book reading & reviewing and blog hopping. It was neccessary to take a break even though I was constantly busy. Getting my real life back in to some sort of semblance and order after the death of a spouse takes time. I am thankful if you stuck around for me to return. I was glad to see that the visits to my blog didn't reduce in numbers. Thank you!</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #181818; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">It was also a good period to take my time to read a very big book that I savoured page per page. I waited 5 years for <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Written-Hearts-Blood-Outlander-Book-ebook/dp/B00C7AXJPE/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1406592827&sr=1-1&keywords=written+in+my+own+heart%27s+blood" target="_blank">Written In My Hearts Own Blood</a> by Diana Gabaldon. There was no way I was rushing it. Now that I have finished it, I am thrilled with how it turned out and I'm so thankful that in August I can watch the story unfold on TV. I am ecstatic that Canada picked up the Outlander show and that we are only 3 weeks behind the USA. I can handle that! Yeah for Showcase Canada!</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #181818; font-size: large;">What else did I do? Quite a lot when I start to write it all down. My son graduated from public school (he wore a kilt bless him!), my oldest got his G1 driver's licence and my middle suffered bad knee injury that requires surgery in a couple of weeks. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-size: large; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">I visited Rome, Naples, Pompeii, Paris, Dublin and a few small Irish fishing villages no bigger than a bread box. I saw historical monuments, touched structures from 79AD, stood on top of breathtaking cliffs 700 ft above the Atlantic</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-size: large; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;"> Ocean and let the wind blow through my hair.

<span style="font-size: large;">Hi friends and fellow readers!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I haven't been posting lately because I have experienced a rather tragic personal situation. Some of you were aware that my husband was battling brain cancer. In May he lost his battle and I am just working through the emotions, paperwork and trying to get my life back into some sort of routine. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>I have not left blogging</b> and once I get things back on track. I shall be back! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Thank you for continuing to visit Another Look Book Reviews. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">See you soon! Michelle</span><br />

<span style="color: #073763; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b><span style="background-color: white;">Even in Grundy, Alaska, it’s unusual to find a naked guy with a bear trap clamped to his ankle on your porch. But when said guy turns into a wolf, recent southern transplant Mo Wenstein has no difficulty identifying the problem. Her surly neighbor Cooper Graham—who has been openly critical of Mo’s ability to adapt to life in Alaska—has trouble of his own. Werewolf trouble. </span><br style="background-color: white;" /><br style="background-color: white;" /><span style="background-color: white;">For Cooper, an Alpha in self-imposed exile from his dysfunctional pack, it’s love at first sniff when it comes to Mo. But Cooper has an even more pressing concern on his mind. Several people around Grundy have been the victims of wolf attacks, and since Cooper has no memory of what he gets up to while in werewolf form, he’s worried that he might be the violent canine in question. </span><br style="background-color: white;" /><br style="background-color: white;" /><span style="background-color: white;">If a wolf cries wolf, it makes sense to listen, yet Mo is convinced that Cooper is not the culprit. Except if he’s not responsible, then who is? And when a werewolf falls head over haunches in love with you, what are you supposed to do anyway? The rules of dating just got a whole lot more complicated. . . .</span></b></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;">I was introduced to Molly Harper's writing with her "Nice Girls" vampire series. Very much like that other series, this Naked Werewolf series is witty and was sure to guarantee me lots of smiles. She has such great lines. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"><a href="http://mollyharper.com/" target="_blank">Molly Harper</a> writes such personable female characters. She makes you want to be their best friend and hang out with them. Mo was just like that; totally cool.

I loved it because there was not a long and drawn out conflict between Mo and her love interest, Cooper. They met. They were physically attracted to each other but they didn't like each other. They overcame their </span>hostility<span style="font-family: inherit;"> and started dating. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">When they did come together as a couple, it was blazing hot. Not in an erotic sense but more that their chemistry was amazing. Cooper and Mo are perfect together. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">There are murders happening in Alaska around their area and it appears that the deaths are caused by a rouge wolf. Being as Cooper is a werewolf and he seems to have secretive baggage, Mo needs to work through holding his secret wolf identity or sharing that information with the authorities. It weighed heavy on her conscience and I felt bad for her. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="background-color: white;">I am so happy that I discovered that I can borrow audio books from my library this past year. I had put on unwanted weight in the last few years lying in bed zoning out and reading. With audio books I was able to download them, plug in a pair of earbuds and walk long distances while having an awesome narrator read to me. Even then, I am walking the track in circles or chugging on the treadmill totally zoned out. I get so involved in my stories! </span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">Today is an ode to the eXtraordinary sidekicks that aren't really characters per say but are instrumental to the protagonists. They are kind of like their sidekick.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> For instance, Mac's Mac Halo. When brilliant author Karen Marie Moning wrote about the Mac Halo in her Fever Series, I remember reading about it for the first time and thinking that it was a genius invention. The fans loved the Mac Halo they became inventors themselves and built their very own. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Next lets take a look at Kate Daniels' sidekick sword, Slayer. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;">Kate treats Slayer like it is a living breathing sidekick.</span></span><br />
<i><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">I sighed and put Slayer between the front seats. "Stay here. Guard the car."</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">Saiman shut the door.

<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Slayer has a name and has worked side by side with Kate defending and protecting her all through the series.

<span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;">Now lets take a look at Rhage and his tattoo'd beast in J.R. Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood series. There are so many examples of fan art of what readers imagine the tattoo beast turns into. </span><span style="background-color: white;"></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;">When there is imminent danger Rhage's tattoo comes to life and changes him to a dragon type of beast. The beast is not controllable and is extremely volatile. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: red; font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;"><b>Warning, this post is a bit of a rant!</b></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">First let me start off by saying I am not a writer. I do not aspire to be a writer and I blog book reviews solely for my love of novels. I have read a lot of books and sometimes I can get really ranty about what I like and what I don't like in romance books. I have never ranted on my blog before about these feelings and I thought today just may be the day to kick off "W". So without further ado, here is my rant on what I really really reaaaaalllly hate in books. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b>#1</b> - I cannot stand when a lot of conversation is written like a script for actors. Here is a made up example:</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 18pt; text-align: justify;">
“But I don’t want to go,”
Michelle said. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 18pt; text-align: justify;">
“You must go,” her mom replied. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 18pt; text-align: justify;">
“School is so boring.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 18pt; text-align: justify;">
“Yes but you will learn
something.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 18pt; text-align: justify;">
Michelle sighed and replied, “I
can’t wait until school is done.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 18pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 18pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Having this type of conversation over and over drives me nuts. Bonkers even. </span><span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Please use your writing gift and be </span>descriptive<span style="font-family: inherit;">. Describe the protagonists using hand gestures or other actions. Something! Stir
the bubbling stew if they are talking while dinner is cooking. Have the wind
blow, the fire crackle….ANYTHING but a script from a TV show planted on entire
page of he said & she saids.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 18pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 18pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 18pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>#2</b> - This next one is probably my number one reason that leads me to a big DNF (do not finish) in books. Telling the reader how the protagonist is feeling over and over. "She was mad." Yes, the reader gets that she is mad because we just read the circumstance in which we have deducted that she should in fact be mad. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Instead of </span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 18pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">"She was mad"- </span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">try describing the red blotches slowly creepy up her face and how her veins are about to pop. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 18pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">I get so miserable being constantly told how to feel or told that this next line was so funny that they characters are laughing so hard that they have tears running down their face and as a reader, I didn't even crack a smile or see any humour in the situation. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 18pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: -18pt;">
<span style="font-size: 7pt;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 18pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b>#3</b> - I beg of you authors, on my knees even, PLEASE don't make a heroine be stupid just to advance your plot. </span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 18pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I really really realllllly hate when it is
obvious that the book is struggling to move further ahead
and then as the story unfolds around me, I can picture a light bulb go off above an author’s head as she dives to
her keyboard with the brilliant idea “I'LL WRITE HER MAKING A REALLY DUMB </span>DECISION<span style="font-family: inherit;"> SO THAT I CAN CREATE </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">CONFLICT” and then proceeds to have the poor unwittingly heroine
sneak out through a window, down a vine covered trellis, run to the road and
then decide to hitch-hike and wave down a mysterious black van who just happens to be the villain of the
story BECAUSE she THOUGHT she’d save everyone else grief or hide a secret. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

me throwing my book against the wall. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 18pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b>#4</b> - Adjective Overload - There is more to being
descriptive than just colours and size. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 18pt; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 18pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Exhibit A – The big yellow school
bus quickly hydroplaned down the slippery wet road in the middle of a torrential rain
storm during a record high hot hazy summer. </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 18pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Tooo much!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 18pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="text-align: center; text-indent: -18pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b>#5</b> - If you are going to
write a story with numerous points of views (YUCK BTW) please please don’t re-do the same scene over. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 18pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -24px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">PLEASE don’t turn around and write the next chapter as a complete re-write of the scene before but from a different point of view. The readers don’t really NEED to know
his point of view actually. Keep it a mystery on what he was thinking or just
give hints as to what he was thinking as the heroine sees it. I hate flipping
back and forth and when I want to move forward in the story, I am yanked back to re-read a scene I just finished. </span></div>

And since there are 26 days, that matches the 26 letters of the alphabet. On April 1, blog about something that begins with the letter “A.” April 2 is “B,” April 3 is “C,” and so on.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I can't help it. Whenever someone mentions "sidekick" my mind </span>immediately<span style="font-family: inherit;"> goes straight to Batman and his faithful sidekick Robin. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;">When you start to become involved with book series you can really see how vital a sidekick can be to a story. </span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Take Lula from Janet Evanovich's <a href="http://www.amazon.com/One-Money-Stephanie-Plum-Novels-ebook/dp/B000FC0SJ6/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1396403991&sr=1-1&keywords=one+for+the+money" target="_blank">Stephanie Plum</a> series. </span>Stephanie's<span style="font-family: inherit;"> sidekick Lula is needed for the comic relief and scene stealing. Just for one moment picture what it would be like if Stephanie went after her skips without Lula? Boring and uneventful. Well of course Stephanie gets into a lot of trouble on her own but Lula just makes each scene that much better. Stephanie is the lead, but Lula is the crutch. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">How about <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Fifth-Grave-Light-Charley-Davidson-ebook/dp/B009LRWGZ0/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1396403965&sr=1-1&keywords=fifth+grave+past+the+light" target="_blank">Charley Davidson</a>'s best friend and sidekick, Cookie? Cookie is needed once again for the added comic relief that only a best friend could provide and she is also necessary to further the plot. If it wasn't for Cookie doing behind the scenes investigating, many times Charley would end up in a dead end lead. Cookie allows for the next scene to happen. </span></span></span><br />

Bailey is a scene stealer but he is also there for you to fall in love with. He has muscular dystrophy and Fern and he have been best friends since they were babies. Some of the more humourous parts of the book are when Bailey is present and this story would not be the same without Bailey as Fern's sidekicks. </span></div>
