I picked this book up last year at Book Bonanza when I visited her table and looking at her backlist, I think she has some of the best book covers I have seen! Living in a small town, with cattle and horses, I’m always a sucker for a good cowboy romance and this one was perfect. I really liked Wes from the beginning and his story tugged at my heart. He was waging an internal battle of finding his way from fighting for his country, to fighting to have his life back to a new normal at home. Exposing your vulnerabilities leads to healing, but it’s not always an easy road. Dakota was in a similar battle. She was finding her strength and becoming the person her family knew was there all along, while letting go of past mistakes. I think this is why Wes and Dakota has a connection from the beginning. While they did meet previously years before, I still feel that is a case of slight insta love with a slow burn build up; perfect if that is something you love in a romance! Wes had two brothers that worked beside him on the family ranch. Each brother’s stories were sprinkled in sparingly, paving the way for their books in the series. There is a small twist at the end of the story that definitely gave this cowboy romance a feel of the old west where justice is always served, but not always by the law. <div><br /></div><div><br /><p></p><div><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><br /></span></div></div>Unsuspected Bookwormhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09954107646904381066noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2730747641351133929.post-57612756109694554012023-06-28T19:15:00.003-05:002023-06-28T19:15:44.782-05:00Where the Light Shines- Kathryn Andrews<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg09MPJje4ZcemmWKl7DLL7KcCEwBjo1EuhXmikpThJy-HlT1T0IcHIk-nrmQMLW06iC_rhN4X9rQb3tKlIf6iQG0wdAgKy2HCEMdYYB0rPDEhbszLw2MFr_m6snfDHZTnFRga4S2muQWsdXGQIH_RLaN2mI-8hzorNtnhT_JbE0rkza3mo-Xjo9q0ZuWWq/s640/WTLS_FC%20copy.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="420" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg09MPJje4ZcemmWKl7DLL7KcCEwBjo1EuhXmikpThJy-HlT1T0IcHIk-nrmQMLW06iC_rhN4X9rQb3tKlIf6iQG0wdAgKy2HCEMdYYB0rPDEhbszLw2MFr_m6snfDHZTnFRga4S2muQWsdXGQIH_RLaN2mI-8hzorNtnhT_JbE0rkza3mo-Xjo9q0ZuWWq/s320/WTLS_FC%20copy.JPG" width="210" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; white-space-collapse: preserve;">“But then again, do we ever truly know someone when we’re constantly learning about ourselves?” -Where the Light Shines</span><p></p><span id="docs-internal-guid-b2d9027c-7fff-0898-054b-4e73bc8147c6"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Kathryn Andrews weaves a beautiful story of finding true happiness while making peace with the past. The author has a way of writing with so much detail, that you feel as though you have been transported to another place. In Where the Light Shines, you are transported to Chuluota Springs, Florida. A small town with lots of charm, and apparently, ghosts. To escape her life in Chicago, Ryla buys an old house that sits on the edge of a river to renovate. Here she begins to meet the people that will help remind her of who she has always been and where she truly belongs. Enter the Hawthorne brothers (swoon). I immediately loved these guys and can see each receiving their own stories in the future. Oldest brother Jake is the small town vet who catches Ryla’s eye. This isn’t an insta love story. The relationship between Ryla and Jake is well developed and drawn out. The love scenes are descriptive in a way that reminds me of the ebb and flow of the water on the beach of the river; a give and take. These scenes beautifully describe the connection between Jake and Ryla, while keeping the act sensual and not take away from the storyline. Like the ghost in the story slowly revealing itself, the story unfolded in much the same way. If you’re looking for a quick romantic read, this is not it. This story is meant to be savored and to be read at a pace where the reader can fully appreciate the way the story is woven together. This book has romance, but the story is so much more. It’s about friendships, trusting yourself and a love that transcends time.</span></p><div><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><br /></span></div></span>Unsuspected Bookwormhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09954107646904381066noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2730747641351133929.post-8679859817608314912021-11-19T09:18:00.000-06:002021-11-19T09:18:15.954-06:00Untouchable <span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b><u><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiz9CEQvPlxJ4EWigNzsmCalVYyC92P6USQOi3CU22yZUakOIwYRn2xVDVmXJpXdwZ7l1tuX_qInr0e8t0qCoNhjRoPJko86FZPI7wNLhAIa0KY-f4Dp4MlOSMGIMLhN028Fo4Bs0OTETe/s475/untouchable.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="475" data-original-width="312" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiz9CEQvPlxJ4EWigNzsmCalVYyC92P6USQOi3CU22yZUakOIwYRn2xVDVmXJpXdwZ7l1tuX_qInr0e8t0qCoNhjRoPJko86FZPI7wNLhAIa0KY-f4Dp4MlOSMGIMLhN028Fo4Bs0OTETe/s320/untouchable.jpg" width="210" /></a></div><br />The Short Version:</u></b></span></span><p></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>Title:</b> Untouchable </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>Author: </b>Jennifer Hanks</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>Series:</b> Yes</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>Quick Description:</b> Boy meets girl, realizes he likes her and then avoids her at all cost.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>Insta-love:</b> Kinda-Sorta</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>Steaminess Rating:</b> Slow burn, Steamy</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><b style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">Overall Rating:</b><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"> 5 stars</span> </p><p><br /></p><p><b><u>The Long Version:</u></b></p><p>I want to be a Dimarco, or one of Jack Dimarco's people. I fell in love with the Dimarco family and Jennifer Hank's writing after reading Lucy, the first book in the Dimarco series. Afterwards, I promptly devoured all her books in less than a week. Her books include the perfect amount of laughter, drama and most importantly, love. In the Dimarco series, Jack is the patriarch of the family; the father of all. In Untouchable, we are introduced to Jack's brother, Joe, who has his own brood of children. The story centers around his daughter Bailey, but wonderfully weaves in the storylines of the other characters in this new series. While the families are close, this family has a dynamic that is slightly different from Jack's family. This family consists of 3 girls and one son and is impacted by the fierce protectiveness the men feel towards the girls. I loved how the love between Chase and Bailey ties in and mirrors the relationship with Chase's parents. While so similar, the few noticeable differences are what matter most in their love story and gives it staying power. Bailey is such a strong female character. She knows who she is and what she wants, despite her young age. Even though there are times that she questions herself, she doesn't hesitate to grab hold of what she wants and chase after it. Chase has demons from his past that are preventing him from pursuing Bailey. I think the author did a wonderful job in conveying to the reader just how important a role those demons are to Chase and I could feel his indecision and why he's so hesitant to go after what he wants. Along the way, we also get to enjoy a few of the characters from the original Dimarco series as they are key players in this story. Overall, this is a book that I will love to read again. I'm reminded of why I enjoy Jennifer Hanks' writing and how she masterly weaves together a story that captures my attention until the very end. I'm impatiently waiting for her to write and release the next book in this series and read all about Cole's journey to love. </p>Unsuspected Bookwormhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09954107646904381066noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2730747641351133929.post-22773010828098662622021-11-18T09:45:00.000-06:002021-11-18T09:45:45.414-06:00Texas Author Love<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEjRljqcEaiNbWfJUZYK0yYic8ZDcgMWlx1KNJsx5a-Er71BqwE0IScDjESF6krZbCdzl_yUSmipzvq_15J0L0VguNhG0DlVUcMnLZ6nJx7Nyej0MlmxYpTkrhvqxNJG3tz3nuREhyDhi-/s512/texas+.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="512" data-original-width="501" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEjRljqcEaiNbWfJUZYK0yYic8ZDcgMWlx1KNJsx5a-Er71BqwE0IScDjESF6krZbCdzl_yUSmipzvq_15J0L0VguNhG0DlVUcMnLZ6nJx7Nyej0MlmxYpTkrhvqxNJG3tz3nuREhyDhi-/s320/texas+.jpeg" width="313" /></a></div><br />I live in Texas and I thought it would be neat to try and highlight authors who live in this great state and hopefully help you discover some new to you authors while I'm at it. I started the list with a few authors I knew and then after a little research, found a few more! I tried to sort them into their different genres and make it easy for you to just click on their name to be directed to their website. Hope you find someone new to follow and read!!<br />

In Royally (Re) Arranged, Princess Serafina is a hopeless romantic that believes her prince charming was picked for her long ago and she can't wait to get forever started. Callum is the prince that, in my opinion, is only sometimes charming. Rafe is the hottie that is trying desperately to steal the princess away. I admit, I loved Rafe from the beginning and couldn't wait for him to get his girl. I found I was never team Callum; I felt he was too indecisive and had no backbone. At times, the story seemed a little slow, but overall it was a great romance with likable characters. One of my favorite things about this story is that when it gets to the part where there is a misunderstanding and the heroine usually panics, loses all common sense and believes the worst, SHE DIDN'T.

Her newest release, The Baby and the Blueblood, is a modern retelling of Cinderella. <div><span> </span>Cinda Brown is having a tough time keeping her cleaning business booming while raising a child that the father doesn't know exists. Alexander Wessex is her long lost love from years ago that just happens to be the father, and unbeknownst to Cinda, a prince. The story heats up with an accidental run in that surprises them both and is a reminder that they both still have feelings for one another. Finding their way back to each other isn't easy, but Alexander is a determined man! I found both characters likable and I was routing for them from the very beginning. The story moves quickly and is a great retelling, without being too predicable. This romance has it all-- long lost love, handsome guy, beautiful girl, cute kid, and lots of romantic tension. Every book in this series has left a smile on my face and my heart happy. If you're looking for a quick read, with lots of heat this weekend, this is the book for you. The next book in the series, The Baby-Whisperer and the Brute is out now!<p></p></div>Unsuspected Bookwormhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09954107646904381066noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2730747641351133929.post-40662452859502220262021-10-27T13:26:00.000-05:002021-10-27T13:26:31.560-05:00I Love Character InterviewsOne of the most fun things that I have done on this blog are my character interviews. There is just something fun about interacting with my favorite characters out of the pages of a book and seeing a whole new side to their personalities. They become even more real in my mind and adds another dimension to their stories. Here are a few of the past interviews I have done. <div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsAMBsVCAdQBWNpIikXyCmjjE13zLDspljZ2GQMxNjuYjXLm0PC26b4gxAYlhnu-bcmBkxict2Z1l_BuOIUIEd5cKaP75rtZdJj27P29qsaVCf-qVK4RLyVj4WAo1-WeeWS4jL_PRKhi_t/s1685/nmh.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1685" data-original-width="1014" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsAMBsVCAdQBWNpIikXyCmjjE13zLDspljZ2GQMxNjuYjXLm0PC26b4gxAYlhnu-bcmBkxict2Z1l_BuOIUIEd5cKaP75rtZdJj27P29qsaVCf-qVK4RLyVj4WAo1-WeeWS4jL_PRKhi_t/s320/nmh.jpg" width="193" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div>Quinn and Janie from Neanderthal Seeks Human/Neanderthal Marries Human by Penny Reid: <a href="http://www.confessionsofanunsuspectedbookworm.blogspot.com/2014/05/meet-quinn-and-janie.html" target="_blank">Here</a><br /><br />Justice and River from Running On Empty by Colette Ballard: <a href="http://www.confessionsofanunsuspectedbookworm.blogspot.com/2014/05/running-on-empty-by-colette-ballard.html" target="_blank">Here</a><br /><br /><div>Those Winston Boys: <a href="https://confessionsofanunsuspectedbookworm.blogspot.com/2014/10/an-interview-with-those-handsome-and.html" target="_blank">Here</a></div><div><br /></div><div>It has been a long while since I have done an interview and I'm thinking I'm ready to do one soon.

It is like reading a Hallmark Christmas movie, without the commercials. Squire's writing is beautifully descriptive and contains the perfect amount of romance. She has always been a favorite author of mine since she stole my heart when I read Draw Me In several years ago. Her story writing talent is like a beautifully knitted blanket that envelopes you and makes you feel warm and content. In Winter Cabin Christmas, Samantha is a talent agent whose specialty is finding everyone's hidden talent. She instantly became someone I wish I could be friends with in real life. Noah is the handsome friendly guy next door who never meets a stranger and is always willing to offer a helping hand. The story takes place in a small out of the way family run resort that has fallen on hard times. Samantha is there to help her parents, that happen to look like Mr. and Mrs. Claus, land the role in a seasonal commercial. Throw in a pregnant sister in law, outlaw brother, and an ex-husband and it's the perfect recipe for a little Christmas craziness. If you're someone who is counting the days until those feel good Holiday movies begin, grab Winter Cabin Christmas and let the Christmas season begin!<p></p>Unsuspected Bookwormhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09954107646904381066noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2730747641351133929.post-85759517207932466472021-08-30T12:22:00.005-05:002021-08-30T12:22:48.640-05:00Comfort BooksI don't know about you but I have "comfort" books. You know, those books that you read over and over and never grow tired of. My comfort books are those books that I read when my brain is stressed, or I'm blahed and need a laugh. They are the books I turn to when I just need to visit old friends and lose myself in a story that makes me happy. I turn to them when I crave the familiar. I want to share my comfort books with you. Some of these are older books, but still my go to faves. What are some of yours?<br />

<div><b>Neanderthal Seeks Human by Penny Reid</b></div><div>Penny has written so many awesome books but NSH will always be my very favorite.

It doesn't really matter how many times I have read it, b/c I will still laugh out loud every time with this crazy group of characters.<br />
<br />
<b>Someone Else's Fairytale by E.M Tippetts</b><br />
I'm a sucker for a storyline that has a handsome celebrity falling in love with a "normal" girl. I love the innocence of this book. The heroine's story is unique and the story just makes me happy.<br />
<br />
<b>Paradise Found by Mary Campisi</b><br />
I love the idea of a man falling for a women he has never seen. The hero is blind. I don't want to spoil anything but if you ever read it, the ending gets me every time. Love!!<br /><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYEnEn-Ef2HBdgMHt3UmglqarAp5n9FXKFeI9U4dRXYARl9UEa0VostcOW1kiBFVY1uxwhbFnYPuoVNGD0mr8gLxBWSn9b1BvZZEtL4LTI9odSDaVsZSSdj9M31LGtC7dKjvkdyYZXqfYj/s475/precious+things.jpeg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="475" data-original-width="317" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYEnEn-Ef2HBdgMHt3UmglqarAp5n9FXKFeI9U4dRXYARl9UEa0VostcOW1kiBFVY1uxwhbFnYPuoVNGD0mr8gLxBWSn9b1BvZZEtL4LTI9odSDaVsZSSdj9M31LGtC7dKjvkdyYZXqfYj/w134-h200/precious+things.jpeg" width="134" /></a></div><br /></div><b>Precious Things by Gayle R. Delaney</b><br /><div>I love this cover. I think that is what first caught my attention. The story is just as beautiful. A strong alpha male and a heroine that doesn't put up with it. This is a story of overcoming a tragic and abusive childhood and finding out that you are deserving of love.</div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b>Rock Chick by Kristen Ashley</b></div><div>In reality it's not just Rock Chick, but the whole series. When I read one, then I want to read another and then another and it becomes a free fall into all things Fortnum Book Store and the Hot Bunch. Favorite couples of this series include Luke/Ava, Lee /Indy, Hector/Sadie.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Just One Song by Stacey Lynn</b></div><div>The is just a beautiful love story and it makes my heart swoon each time I read it.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Wait for You by Jennifer Armentrout</b></div><div>I really just love this whole series and will begin this one and then find myself reading through each book in the series.</div><div><br /></div><div><b><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyVJbqeAjIKcvL6nFFFW7pAMHvkbfrTwC2Bo53tZ5qDc17nZDymaDjqhX9XzIqgSNCFbt7gh74FFuyQzz3eNieoWx1UVZQdqmNiev20qbx03PhOKOBG6f030qkF84ly6dsOQuBxrM_Q35t/s475/Lukov.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="475" data-original-width="296" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyVJbqeAjIKcvL6nFFFW7pAMHvkbfrTwC2Bo53tZ5qDc17nZDymaDjqhX9XzIqgSNCFbt7gh74FFuyQzz3eNieoWx1UVZQdqmNiev20qbx03PhOKOBG6f030qkF84ly6dsOQuBxrM_Q35t/w124-h200/Lukov.jpg" width="124" /></a></div>From Lukov with Love by Mariana Zapata</b></div><div>I love all of Mariana's books but this one is the one I can go back and read and still have all the feels.

I started Beautifully Broken Pieces late in the day and could not put it down until it was finished in the early morning hours. There is no other feeling like starting a book and knowing that the story is so good that you want to block the world away for a time and just get lost in the words. From the very beginning I could feel the emotions of Taylor as she navigates the unknown waters of grief. Those feelings are so wonderfully described in detail and I felt as though I was discovering a new friend. My heart hurt for her and understood why she chose to move so far away from her loved ones. When Walker is introduced, and his story unfolds, the pull between the two characters is so strong and the need for each other is undeniable. To make this story even more fantastic is the mystery of a killer and who it might be. While I had my suspicions, I was never completely confident that I was correct. I loved that it kept me guessing until the very end which included a few surprises along the way! This story packs a lot of heat and steaminess, but in all the right places. I have already started the next book in the series, Beautifully Broken Life, and it holds the promise of being just as good as this book. Check out author Catherine Cowles, you won't be disappointed! <p></p><p><br /></p><p>To purchase: <a href="https://amzn.to/2VxpIlU" target="_blank">Amazon</a></p>Unsuspected Bookwormhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09954107646904381066noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2730747641351133929.post-3966760899930628662021-08-01T13:04:00.002-05:002021-11-15T14:22:56.993-06:00Chasing Clouds by Kathryn Andrews<span id="docs-internal-guid-70e8a462-7fff-1cb7-239d-5326c4a22356"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b><u></u></b></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b><u><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizfGa2oCEEINQrt4Sknq3QIgPUVyvtBDj6q8TYmlo6a1eqLFLMU_K067l2qTHwez_amt8aEI97rMejQvnQLP8GuEtWbhanLwDWHSmvrhG8Bg-s6QNHvHb2B-KJPiUhA5W78zD-JTW4RKVl/s475/ChasingClouds.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="475" data-original-width="312" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizfGa2oCEEINQrt4Sknq3QIgPUVyvtBDj6q8TYmlo6a1eqLFLMU_K067l2qTHwez_amt8aEI97rMejQvnQLP8GuEtWbhanLwDWHSmvrhG8Bg-s6QNHvHb2B-KJPiUhA5W78zD-JTW4RKVl/s320/ChasingClouds.jpg" /></a></u></b></span></span></div><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b><u><br />The Short Version:</u></b></span></span><p></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>Title:</b> Chasing Clouds</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>Author: </b>Kathryn Andrews</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>Series:</b> No</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>Quick Description:</b> Boy marries girl who he doesn't know and has to decide whether he wants to stay married or walkaway.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>Insta-love:</b> No</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>Steaminess Rating:</b> Slow burn, behind closed door steaminess.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>Overall Rating:</b> 5 stars</span></p></span><p><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b><u>The Long Version:</u></b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">Kathryn Andrews has always been and always will be one of my favorite go-to authors. She is one of those authors that you know that when you will read one of her books you will not be disappointed. I know that Chasing Clouds isn't a new release and I'm guilty of letting it sit on my Kindle for way too long. One of my favorite series is her Hale Brothers series. I admit when I began Chasing Clouds that I had no idea that those favorite characters would be popping up and waving hi during the course of the book. I am a reader that will bookmark or highlight pages while I’m reading, but I found myself wanting to remember poignant sentences throughout the story that I could go back and savor. While the story did start off a little slow for me, I found myself drawn into the story of Reid and Camille. I felt as thought the characters were very realistic and I loved them instantly. If you’re looking for a slow burn that allows you to fall in love with the characters while they fall in love with each other, this is the perfect book for you. </span></p><div><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div>

I NEEDED to read about all that I missed with the other characters who captured my heart while reading this fantastic story. I admit, lately it seems most books that I have read tend to start off with the steamy parts very early in the story, sometimes before you even feel like the characters have connected. Almost like those scenes are thrown in to grab the audience but feel a little rushed. I really thought this book would be similar but boy was I wrong. While the characters seemed to be immediately drawn to each other, I would not say this was an "Insta-Love" connection. The author did a wonderful job of really drawing out the storyline and letting the reader understand why the characters have a connection but also why they are struggling to connect. I absolutely loved the reasoning behind why Aiden was as so hesitant about the relationship with Isabel after marrying and losing his first love, his wife. I felt his pain and struggles and my heart ached for him while rejoicing that his love for his first wife wasn't diminished in anyway because he fell for someone new. Aiden's daughter, Anya, brought comedic relief to intense scenes while also displaying realistic struggles of losing a mom so young. Overall a great read and I have now found a new author that I can't wait to read more of her library.</span></p><div><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div></span>Unsuspected Bookwormhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09954107646904381066noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2730747641351133929.post-37366855290761038262018-10-22T06:11:00.003-05:002018-10-22T06:20:04.836-05:00The Sidelined Wife<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgk9B87MCMVTork41yKFsjDqkSMCtpmwqxEHGgYx5rVo45wM_UgEjiSahyphenhyphen4XG449r0V-F5O7R72-cdejaOq0gFtU0UFgYo8wNtdQWEQFJY_GE4W4XFZFTn2aKiRKJCZPdMEuToCpvh2neR7/s1600/37940756.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="475" data-original-width="316" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgk9B87MCMVTork41yKFsjDqkSMCtpmwqxEHGgYx5rVo45wM_UgEjiSahyphenhyphen4XG449r0V-F5O7R72-cdejaOq0gFtU0UFgYo8wNtdQWEQFJY_GE4W4XFZFTn2aKiRKJCZPdMEuToCpvh2neR7/s320/37940756.jpg" width="212" /></a>Recently I came across author Jennifer Peel and her book, The Sidelined Wife. It was free on Kindle Unlimited and had great reviews so it was an immediate download. I had no idea that this book would give me all the feels. In the Sidelined Wife, Samantha Higgins Decker, who is recently divorced, late one night divulges her mixed feelings of being divorced on her family blog. The blog is an instant hit among other women and through her posts, she learns more about herself and the person she wants to become. In the process you encounter a funny and truthful to a fault family, a teenage son who is also dealing with the divorce, and a sexy football coach from her past that wants to cheer her on and join her on the sidelines. Jennifer Peel has the ability to bring the heat to a couple without explicit scenes. You feel their attraction for each other from page one and it only builds throughout the story. Check out The Sidelined Wife, you'll thank me for it.<br />

You know, when all the books you read tend to be the same. Handsome boy meets gorgeous girl, there's some mischief or misunderstanding, they work it out and all is great. Don't get me wrong, I love it, but sometimes you need a little reality check. Men are handsome and women are gorgeous, but you have to also consider that we're human and we all battle age, weight, stretch marks and other nuisances that we hate about our bodies. Do we like to think about them when we're in our fictional reading worlds? Not really, but when an author takes those little quirks and makes them into funny and lighthearted look at real life romance, it makes us feel a little better about ourselves. M. E. Carter did just that with her book, Getting a Grip. This story is fantastic and once I started, I couldn't put it down. I laughed, I cried, and I laughed some more. Just like M.E, the dialogue is witty, sarcastic and fun. If you've ever had a chance to meet her, you know what I'm talking about. The characters are real and the story is relatable. Can I please share a glass of wine with Elena and Callie?!?<br />

I'm a teacher by day and I really thought that once summer happened I would blog my little heart out, catch up on all my house to-do's, and be the productive queen. Um....NO! I found myself mentally tired and not wanting to think...AT ALL! Usually when I feel this way, I go find one of my trusty ol' book friends and fall into a world that gives me comfort and all the feels. But, this time I decided I was going to read something on my TBR list. I picked this little book, Rock Chick. <br />
<br />

<br />
See, a couple of years ago my friend <a href="https://www.heidih.net/" target="_blank">Heidi</a> suggested, or demanded, that I read Kristen Ashley's Rock Chick. She said I would love it. So I bought it and sadly it sat on my Kindle. I had no clue that reading this book would lead me down a rabbit hole that I would not emerge from for months. I read Rock Chick and then proceeded to read ALL the books by Kristen. I'm just going to call her Kristen, not Kristen Ashley, because she doesn't know it, but we're besties. I just need to figure out how I can get her to Texas so that I can have her sign all her paperbacks that I must buy and convince her that we're BFFs. I blame her for my non-productive summer and the mourning I felt when I finished the series and starting missing the Rock Chicks and their Hot Guys. But then I found the Dream Man series, the Chaos Series, visited the town of Magdalene and met those hot guys and then spent the rest of my time lost in Colorado with Joe, Colt, Chace, Mike and the crew. Have you read any of these series??? I'll pause while you go buy all the things. Just go, I'll wait....(imagine the Jeopardy theme song) When you're done, come back and let me know what you think.Unsuspected Bookwormhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09954107646904381066noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2730747641351133929.post-92007570698991398422016-05-22T09:53:00.000-05:002016-05-24T05:45:37.649-05:00The Ever After Box<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_gz5ans9BeVgh6URbAkwTB2SU5vfFWELtfoVSbuXoTXOVy6mzAq2xxBxBh4KZYu0ls_qElFcpxMjO6oKMbCyDebdCuJuMPDjzNlA666gc_lKdWSWxxfn6kfK-u6JX8uIRLFHCBb9siIkE/s1600/FullSizeRender+%25287%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="230" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_gz5ans9BeVgh6URbAkwTB2SU5vfFWELtfoVSbuXoTXOVy6mzAq2xxBxBh4KZYu0ls_qElFcpxMjO6oKMbCyDebdCuJuMPDjzNlA666gc_lKdWSWxxfn6kfK-u6JX8uIRLFHCBb9siIkE/s320/FullSizeRender+%25287%2529.jpg" width="320" /></a>I want to share with you this wonderful thing called the Ever After Box.

Andrew’s debut book, Drops of Rain, I knew that she was going to be an author
that would be on my auto-buy list forever.
Her books are full of emotion, contain unique characters and each story
is uniquely different. Blue Horizons is
another must read. Will Ashton’s
character drew me in from the first page and I could feel his passion for his
music but also his battle between doing what is expected of you versus doing
what is right. Ava’s character, while
obviously suffering from fear and anxiety, was a little more complex and took
me a while to determine who she was and where her story was going. To see two characters struggle with peace,
fear and uncertainty come together and become each other’s rock; to build a
stable foundation together is what makes reading their story so fantastic. Kathryn took the cliché that celebrities have
a revolving bedroom door and can be selfish and broke that mold to weave a
wonderful story that delves into the heart of the person and that sometimes
it’s lonely at the top and solitude is what is needed for the soul. When all is quiet and the heart can be still,
that is when it finds the one that it craves.</span><!--EndFragment-->

<span class="regulartext" style="font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><br />
Music is my motivation. I’ve always believed that, because of it, I would be somebody. Somebody to someone, and something to myself. <br />
<br />
At age four, I picked up my grandfather’s acoustic guitar and, up until three weeks ago, I’ve never put it down. From a single chord to a full arrangement, music fed my soul. I craved it with every fiber of my being, but now, I just don’t know. That driving force that’s always pushed me has somehow stalled, along with the thrill, the passion, and the familiarity . . . it’s all gone. I’m beginning to worry that my love for music just isn’t enough.<br />
<br />
As the summer tour finally comes to an end, I head to the Blue Ridge Mountains instead of returning to Nashville. It’s here that I’ve always been able to lose myself amongst the solitude and the lake, but what I didn’t expect to find was her.<br />
<br />
Wild blonde hair, light blue eyes, and a laugh I find myself trying to coax from her has me completely enamored. She’s quiet, incredibly poised, and driven by secrets as big as the mountains around us. They’re what’s made her untouchable, and left me wanting to know more.
Maybe that’s what I need. Maybe I need more. Maybe I need her.<br />
<br />

<br />
They say that life isn’t about how many breaths we take, but how many moments take our breath away. But what if those moments aren’t filled with happiness and love, but something dark and haunting? For me, it’s those moments that’ve shaped and taken over my life. I can’t change who I am, God knows I’ve tried, and, because of this, I’ve accepted the silver lining . . . I’m alive. <br />
<br />
Fifty-two white keys, thirty-six black keys, ten fingers, seven notes, two friends, and one stage. At the piano, on the stage, with my two best friends, I finally found myself, and I live for those moments. One by one, I collect them, cherish them, patiently waiting for the next, until it arrives and changes everything. That’s the moment I meet him.</span></td></tr>

OVER TEN YEARS ago my husband and I were driving from Chicago to Tampa and somewhere in Kentucky I remember seeing a billboard that was all black with five white words, “I do, therefore I am!” I’m certain that it was a Nike ad, but for me I found this to be completely profound.<br />
<br />
Take running for example. Most will say that a runner is someone who runs five days a week and runs under a ten minute mile pace. Well, I can tell you that I never run five days a week and on my best days my pace is an eleven minute mile. I have run quite a few half marathons and one full marathon. No matter what anyone says . . . I run, therefore I am a runner.<br />
<br />
I’ve taken this same thought and applied it to so many areas of my life: cooking, gardening, quilting, and yes . . . writing.<br />
<br />
I may not be culinary trained, but I love to cook and my family and friends loves to eat my food. I cook, therefore I am a chef!<br />
<br />
My thumb is not black. I love to grow herbs, tomatoes, roses, and lavender. I garden, therefore I am a gardener!<br />
<br />
I love beautiful fabrics and I can follow a pattern. My triangles may not line up perfectly . . . but who cares, my quilts are still beautiful when they are finished. I quilt, therefore I am a quilter.<br />
<br />
I have been writing my entire life. It is my husband who finally said, “Who cares if people like your books or not? If you enjoy writing them and you love your stories…then write them.” He has always been my biggest fan and he was right. Being a writer has always been my dream and what I said I wanted to be when I grew up.<br />
<br />
So, I’ve told you who I am and what I love to do . . . now I’m going to tell you the why.
I have two boys that are three years a part. My husband and I want to instill in them adventure, courage, and passion. We don’t expect them to be perfect at things, we just want them to try and do. It’s not about winning the race; it’s about showing up in the first place. We don’t want them to be discouraged by society stereotypes, we want them to embrace who they are and what they love. After all, we only get one life.<br />
<br />
In the end, they won’t care how many books I actually sell . . . all that matters to them is that I said I was going to do it, I did it, and I have loved every minute of it.
Find something that you love and tell yourself, “I do, therefore I am.”

Darby who discovers that although you can run away, you can never escape the
ghosts from your past. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Physically, Kat Darby walked away relatively unscathed from
the tragic car accident on the night of her high school graduation.
Emotionally, her scars run much deeper from the loss of two of her best friends
and her longtime boyfriend, Dan. Unable to face the constant reminders of the
person she thought she would love forever, Kat leaves for twelve months to
study art in France before returning home to start her life again. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12pt;">Life in Florida proves more difficult than Kat
anticipated with remnants of the accident still lingering. The only solace she
can find is in her love for art until she runs into Brian, the younger brother
of her deceased former boyfriend. Finding they can lean on eachother, Kat and
Brian find comfort in their emotional common bond. When an unexpected romance
develops, Kat must decide if she is willing to face the ghosts from her past in
order to love again.</span></div>

I can't believe this is the last book in the Weekday Brides Series. Excuse me while I mourn the loss of this fantastic group of characters. Catherine Bybee did a fantastic job with this final story and created possibly one of my favorite couples of this series. Hunter and Gabi's story had me from the first page and kept me on the edge of my seat until the very end. I loved the ultra private Hunter from the beginning and couldn't wait to find out his whole story. Gabi is another example of a strong heroine who deserves her happy ending. The romance is a perfect slow build with just the right amount of steam. If you haven't checked out this series, start now and you won't be disappointed, it's Catherine Bybee at her absolute best. </span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif;">“Finally!” Jaymeson
pointed at both of us. “Lincoln, show her to her mark. Dani, for this scene
you’re simply staring at him like you want to eat him. Think you can do that?”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif;">I nodded.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif;">Any woman could do
that.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif;">Most men too.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif;">“Cue music!”
Jaymeson called out. “Action.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif;">A techno mix of
AD2’s latest song filled the air as the extras started dancing around us. I
stayed glued to the wall while Lincoln delivered his lines to Pris, and then he
lifted his head, meeting my gaze.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif;">It’s just a movie.
It’s just a movie.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif;">The breath left my
chest on one slow exhale as he moved toward me, his body making fluid
purposeful movements through the crowd.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif;">My lips parted; my
entire body felt heavy as he approached.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif;">He stopped in front
of me, his forehead grazing mine as he leaned in a few inches. Our breath
mingled as the music and scene faded around me.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif;">“Cut!” Jaymeson
yelled.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif;">Holy crap on a
cracker. I almost experienced my first stroke — at seventeen.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif;">“You okay?”
Lincoln’s eyebrows knit together in concern.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif;">I licked the
lipstick from my lips and nodded quickly.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif;">Jaymeson approached.
“Time for the kiss, remember kissing, not hockey. Clearly, you were confused
earlier.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif;">Lincoln gritted his
teeth and let out a little groan.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif;">I patted his arm and
grinned, my way of encouraging him. He seemed to pale more.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif;">My stomach sank.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif;">Maybe it was me.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif;">I was the problem.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif;">Not the kiss, but
me. If he’d had trouble kissing my gorgeous sister, how was he going to be able
to kiss me?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif;">“Hey…” Lincoln
cupped my cheek. “… focus on me, nothing else, alright? It’s only us.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif;">I nodded.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif;">“You ever been to a
party?”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif;">I rolled my eyes.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif;">“Ever made out with
a guy at a party that wasn’t your boyfriend?”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif;">I thought about it
then slowly shook my head.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif;">“So that’s what this
scene is about. It’s about a guy seeing a girl from across the room and wanting
her so badly that he’s willing to cheat on his own girlfriend for just one
taste. Granted, he’s supposedly drunk and high, but that just takes the romance
out of it, doesn’t it?”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif;">He released my cheek
and stepped back. “Imagine you’re trying to attract me, make your body as
inviting as possible. Hell, just stand there and look at me, and you’ll sell
it.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif;">Sell it. I repeated
the words in my mind.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif;">I could do that.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif;">Because I wanted him
to kiss me.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif;">It made my heart
beat faster.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif;">My blood pump
harder.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif;">And for the first
time since my parents’ death, I was actually excited about something. Nervous,
but excited.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif;">“Okay,” I mouthed.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif;">I must have
surprised him again because his eyes darkened, and then he grinned. “One day,
Dani. One day I’m going to hear my name coming from that gorgeous mouth of
yours, and I’m not going to be held responsible for my actions… damn the
consequences.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif;">My breath hitched.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif;">“Quiet on set! And
action!”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif;">There was no
warning. Suddenly, Lincoln’s mouth was fused against mine, no teeth, just his
soft lips pushing, prodding, moving slowly back and forth until his tongue slid
through and made contact with mine.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif;">Heart racing, I
opened my mouth enough to deepen the kiss as heat washed over me.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif;">He groaned and dug
his fingers into my shoulders then slid his hands down my back and gripped my
butt. I let out a squeak of surprise as I flicked his tongue with mine.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif;">“Cut!” Jaymeson
yelled.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif;">I kept kissing.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif;">So did Lincoln.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif;">His chest brushed
roughly against mine; my breasts ached at the sharp contact. I let out a little
hiss at the exact time Linc let out a groan and nudged his knee between my
legs.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif;">“Cut!” Jaymeson
yelled again.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif;">Slowly, Lincoln
pried himself away from me, chest heaving.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif;">“Good enough,” said
Jaymeson.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif;">“No,” Lincoln argued
without taking his wild grey eyes off me, “I went off script. We need to do it
again.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif;">“The hell you do,”
someone mumbled. I wasn’t surprised to see Demetri glaring daggers at Lincoln’s
back. Alec was next to Jaymeson, giving him an earful. I noted the strong tick
in his jaw.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif;">“Fine.” Jaymeson
waved them both off. “We’ll do it again.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif;">“Take two, and
action!”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif;">This time the kiss
was slow, languid in its movements. Hot waves of pleasure coursed through my
body as his tongue slid seductively pass my lips. His taste, the feel of his
mouth was unlike anything I’d ever experienced. Greedily, I moaned, desperate
for more of him as I reached for his shirt then fisting it with my hands and
tugging him tighter against my body, wanting more contact with him. I felt
every plane of muscle as he slowly turned us so his back was semi facing the
camera. His knee nudged my legs apart as pressure increased down the middle of
my body. I hadn’t really looked long at the script, but I was pretty sure that
this wasn’t part of it.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif;">Not that I was
complaining.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif;">He rocked into me,
my back connected with the wall. With a possessive growl, he nipped my lower
lip then started kissing down my neck. Kissing in public had never been my
thing — but maybe that was because I’d never kissed Lincoln.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif;">I would kiss him
anywhere.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif;">All he needed to do
was ask.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif;">Body humming with pleasure,
I let out a little gasp as his warm lips met the pulse on my neck. Then his
tongue licked where his lips had just been.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif;">His knee rose higher
and higher as my body sank onto his; the first contact of his leg had my body
screaming with pleasure — just a little higher, just a little more.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif;">“Cut!” someone
shouted, though it didn’t sound like Jaymeson.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif;">Suddenly, Demetri
was pulling Lincoln away from me and glaring daggers at both of us. “I think
you guys got the scene.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif;">Embarrassed, I
looked down, tucking my silky hair behind my ear. Did I really almost just dry
hump Lincoln Greene’s leg? In front of about twenty people, including my
sister?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif;">“You sure?” Lincoln
asked, voice hoarse. I glanced up at him, his chest was heaving with exertion,
his lips swollen. “Because I could have sworn I messed up my lines.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif;">“There are no lines,
you bastard,” Demetri muttered under his breath.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif;">“Damn it!” Jaymeson
shouted. “Hey, guys, I’m going to need you to shoot it one more time. Remember,
Lincoln, you’re supposed to proposition her.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif;">Lincoln grinned
smugly at Demetri.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif;">Demetri didn’t move.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

As I begin to follow them, Twitter "suggests" others who I might like and sometimes I stumble upon those that create music that you know you were made to listen to and find yourself anxiously awaiting for them to play at a venue near you so you can experience the joy of listening to that music live. Recently I stumbled across country music artist, Tyler Rich. If I'm being totally honest, his picture is what first caught my attention and if you feel the need to see why for yourself look to the left and then I'll wait while you go <a href="http://www.tylerrichmusic.com/">here</a>.... See what I mean?!? Anyway, because I'm not totally shallow, I immediately quit drooling and looked him up on iTunes and his music is currently on repeat in my car. I'm a fan of the whole album, but the song I cannot get enough of is Radio, followed closely by I Can Teach Ya. His sound reminds me a little of Hunter Hayes mixed with a touch of Luke Bryan and a pinch of Cole Swindell. I would also recommend Tyler Rich if you're a fan of Rascal Flatts, Billy Currington or Dierks Bentley. Give Tyler Rich a try and let me know what you think!<br />
<br />
Go get his album here: <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/valerie-ep/id1028624517" target="_blank">https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/valerie-ep/id1028624517</a><br />

BLURB:<br />
Maren Colepepper thought she had it all: a career at a fashion magazine, a successful boyfriend, and a glamorous New York lifestyle. She thought wrong. When her glamorous life suddenly goes belly up, Maren finds herself forced to take the only job she can find at a small town newspaper in the tiny northern California hometown she fled ten years ago.<br />
<br />
While Maren expected her new job in no-wheres-ville to kill her with boredom, She never expected to be front row to a shooting on her very first day! Worse yet, Maren is knocked unconscious at the scene, and when she comes to, the body has gone missing and she's been scooped by another reporter. Talk about a bad first impression. Now Maren is hot on the trail of the story of a lifetime, involving a shady lumber mill and the foresting of old-growth redwoods—a ginormous crime in her neck of the woods! Between her suddenly flirty new editor, her supremely hot new neighbor, and a lovably meddling family, Maren find small town life anything but boring. But if she can't find the shooter before he strikes again, it may even become deadly!<br />

Excerpt:<br />
<br />
"What is this thing?" His husky voice lilted through the darkness as he fisted the top of my hair.<br />
<br />
<div>
"A bun."</div>
<div>
"It's ingenious. Gives me easy access." His mouth flew to my neck, planting kisses down the side, leaving warmth and tingles all along the way. But despite his comment, a minute later, his hands tunneled into my hair, undoing the knot, releasing my hair to fall in heavy waves, which he interchangeably combed through with his fingers and then swept away from my neck to restore that "easy access."<br />
<br />
His indecisiveness about what he wanted more was about the sexiest thing ever. </div>

USA Today bestselling author Ophelia London was born and raised among the redwood trees in beautiful northern California. Once she was fully educated, she decided to settle in Florida, but her car broke down in Texas and she’s lived in Dallas ever since. A cupcake and treadmill aficionado (obviously those things are connected), she spends her time watching arthouse movies and impossibly trashy TV, while living vicariously through the characters in the books she writes.<br />
<br />
Ophelia is the author of DEFINITELY, MAYBE IN LOVE; ABBY ROAD and CROSSING ABBY ROAD; the Perfect Kisses series including: FALLING FOR HER SOLDIER, PLAYING AT LOVE, SPEAKING OF LOVE, and MAKING WAVES; and the upcoming AIMEE AND THE HEARTTHROB for Entangled’s Teen Crush. Visit her at www.ophelialondon.com, but don’t call when The Vampire Diaries (or Dawson’s Creek) is on.<br />

Beards, brothers, and bikers! Oh my!</div>
Identical twins Beau and Duane Winston might share the same devastatingly handsome face, but where Beau is outgoing and sociable, Duane is broody and reserved. This is why Jessica James, recent college graduate and perpetual level headed good girl, has been in naïve and unhealthy infatuation with Beau Winston for most of her life.
His friendly smiles make her tongue-tied and weak-kneed, and she’s never been able to move beyond her childhood crush. Whereas Duane and Jessica have always been adversaries. She can’t stand him, and she’s pretty sure he can’t stand the sight of her…
But after a case of mistaken identity, Jessica finds herself in a massive confusion kerfuffle. Jessica James has spent her whole life paralyzed by the fantasy of Beau and her assumptions of Duane’s disdain; therefore she’s unprepared for the reality that is Duane’s insatiable interest, as well as his hot hands and hot mouth and hotter looks. Not helping Jessica’s muddled mind and good girl sensibilities, Duane seems to have gotten himself in trouble with the local biker gang, the Iron Order.
Certainly, Beau’s magic spell is broken. Yet when Jessica finds herself drawn to the man who was always her adversary, now more dangerous than ever, how much of her level-head heart is she willing to risk? <br />
<strong><br /></strong>
<strong>Series Description:</strong>
Everyone in Green Valley, Tennessee knows that the six bearded Winston brothers have been imbued with an unfair share of charm and charisma… and are prone to mischief.
<em>Truth or Beard is book #1 in the Winston Brother’s series. Each book is a standalone, full length (110k words), contemporary romantic comedy novel, and follows the romantic exploits and adventures of one of the six Winston Brothers.</em><br />

<em><br /></em>
With each Penny Reid book I fall in love with each of the the characters and their stories and Truth or Beard is no exception. I have anxiously awaited the beginning of the Winston Brother's books and declare Duane my favorite...for now. Jessica met her match with Duane and with a little help from all those Winston brothers, fell in love with the perfect guy. Duane and Jessica's story is funny, full of romance and contains all things Winston. Penny does such a fabulous job of making each brother's personality distinct, making you fall in love with each one for entirely different reasons. These bearded men are intelligent, have hearts of gold and apparently magic.... hands ;). Just in case you missed it, you can check out my interview with all those crazy Winston brothers <a href="http://confessionsofanunsuspectedbookworm.blogspot.com/2014/10/an-interview-with-those-handsome-and.html">here</a>.<br />

About Penny Reid</h2>
<div class="ubb-author-photo">
<div style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">SEX! It all started with sex, between my parents. Personally I don’t like thinking about it, but whatever works for you is a-ok with me. No judgment. The sex happened in California and much of my life also occurred in that state until I moved from the land of nuts (almonds), wine, silicon… boobs, and heavy traffic to the southeast US. Like most writers I like to write, but let’s get back to sex. Eventually I married and gave birth to 2 small people-children (boy-6, girl-4 as of this writing).
By day I’m a biomedical researcher with focus on rare diseases. By night I’m a knitter, sewer, lino block carver, fabric printer, soap maker, and general crafter. By the wee hours of the morning or when I’m intoxicated I love to listen to the voices in my head and let them tell me stories. I hope you enjoy their stories.</div></div>

Dani Wilde had no choice but to abandon her dreams. She left Columbia
University and returned to her family’s Montana cherry farm, intent on being a
maternal figure to her brothers. Now the kids are grown, and it’s finally her
time to fly. Her sights are on New York City, and nothing will stop her—not
even an old flame with gorgeous green eyes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

hasn’t seen Montana in years—and hasn’t spoken to Dani since “that night” so
long ago. When he discovers he’s a dad to a four-year-old—and the child’s
mother refuses to care for her—Montana and the Wilde farm spring to mind. The
orchard is the only place that’s ever felt like home, but will the warmth of
the Wilde family be enough to help Ben figure out how to be a father? <o:p></o:p></span></div>

life, she discovers the shocking truth about her own mother—and learns that
following her heart may lead her to her dreams after all.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I think, no I know, I just found a new favorite author. Kim Law's newest release, Montana Cherries, captured my attention from the very first page and I fell in love with each character in the Wilde family. The story flows well, the characters are realistic and likable, and the storyline is full of emotion. I loved how the story of Dani Wilde unfolds slowly and her deep love for her family is apparent from page one. The romance between Ben and Dani is a spark that starts a slow burn that eventually takes hold and the path of that fire is unknown. Their love is real, not an "insta-love" and definitely not all hearts and flowers. I give Montana Cherries 5 stars and I encourage you to read it! Steamyness is moderate and tasteful.</span><br />

a child, award-winning author Kim Law cultivated a love for chocolate, anything
purple, and creative writing. She penned her debut work, “The Gigantic Talking
Raisin,” in the sixth grade and got hooked on the delights of creating stories.
Before settling into the writing life, however, she earned a college degree in
mathematics and then worked as a computer programmer. Now she’s living out her
lifelong dream of writing romance novels. She’s won the Romance Writers of
America’s Golden Heart Award, has been a finalist for the prestigious RWA RITA
Award, and has served in varied positions for her local RWA chapter. A native
of Kentucky, Kim lives with her husband and an assortment of animals in Middle
Tennessee.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif;">Troy
lowered his voice to a whisper. “Right now, I’m thinking about how good your
lips would taste. I’m thinking about how much I want to pay the check, walk out
of here, and press you up against the bricks of the building.” He paused for a
minute. “Should I go on?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif;">Elle had
a sudden awareness of her own heartbeat; her fingers tingled with the need to
touch and be touched by the gorgeous man on the other side of the table. Those
eyes, those soulful brown eyes, focused on hers as if she were the most
beautiful creature on the planet.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif;">“Yes,”
she whispered.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif;">He
glanced around briefly before continuing. “I’m thinking about pressing you
against that brick wall, and unbuttoning your blouse. I’d take my time, savoring
the look and feel of you as I opened each one.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif;">Elle
swallowed hard, her palms began to sweat, and her nerve endings stirred beneath
her skin. Their hands were still enmeshed on the table, and she realized <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif;">Troy was
now stroking her palm with his fingertips. That simple touch left her craving
him, as much of him as she could possibly obtain. She wanted to make the table
vanish, to push it all aside, eliminating all distance between her and the man
who was making her heart pound out of control.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif;">“What
else?” She parted her legs slightly, feeling completely enveloped in her need
for Troy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif;">“I’ll pay
the check and then I’ll tell you. How does that sound?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif;">“Good.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif;">Troy
released her hand and rose from the table. He walked to the other side of the
restaurant, where their waiter happened to be standing. He pulled him aside,
opened his wallet, and handed him a bundle of cash. Then, with a cocky grin, he
joined Elle, who managed to stand despite her wobbly and weakened knees.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif;">When he
took her hand and led her outside, Troy did exactly what he had described
inside. The brick felt harsh against her back, but it didn’t matter. All she
wanted was to touch and explore every inch of Troy’s body. His lips crashed
against hers. One hand cupped her ass as the other toyed with the collar of her
blouse.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif;">“God,
I’ve missed you,” she murmured between kisses as Troy unbuttoned the first
button of her blouse. “I’ve missed this.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif;">“Shhh,”
Troy whispered, popping the next button, exposing the lace of her bra. His
fingertips danced over the exposed fabric, tickling her sensitive skin,
creating a delectable shiver down her spine. His lips pressed again to hers,
and immediately Elle opened her mouth, inviting him in. He deepened the kiss,
stroking her tongue with his own in determined yet gentle strokes. Arousal
built within her as her hands roamed his back, his neck, his hair.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif;">“Should
we go somewhere . . . somewhere more private?” Elle asked, suddenly aware they
were in public when she heard the voices of people walking past the restaurant.
“Your place, maybe?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif;">“No,”
Troy answered.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif;">“No?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif;">“I think
we should say good-night.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif;">“You
can’t be serious.” Elle’s vision became clouded, and her throat ran dry.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif;">“I think
we should take things slow.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif;">“You call
this slow?” She could feel her pulse pounding in her ears. She planted her feet
in a wide stance, crossing her arms in front of her chest. “What’s going on,
Troy? Are you still pissed off? Is this all a game to you?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif;">Troy ran
his fingers through his hair. “No, of course not. You know me better than
that.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

fumbled to button her blouse. She felt ridiculous, foolish, like Troy was

felt that</span></div>

Her stories are deep, emotional and passionate and Red Carpet Kiss is all of that and more. The story follows Elle as she navigates her past and present and must decide where her heart truly resides. Her story started off slow for me and I wasn't sure if Elle was a character I could identify with, but I soon found myself wrapped up in her story and feeling her conflicting emotions as though they were mine. I'm not a fan of love triangles, but in this story, it worked and I didn't mind it all. I give the story 4 stars; steamyness is moderate.</span></div>
