Ballbuster. The Terminator. Those are just a few of the nicknames I’ve earned in my professional life. As the executive consultant King’s Creamery has brought in to save them from financial ruin, I have to decide which employees get the ax. I can’t afford to make friends or get chummy with my new neighbors.<br /><br />Try telling that to the enormous, hunky fireman next door who’s annoyingly determined to make friends with me. It’s not enough that the guy saves kittens, tosses tree trunks around while wearing a kilt, and has a body that makes Thor look puny. He also works out shirtless in full view of my kitchen window. I might be secretly obsessed.<br /><br />When a newspaper exposé turns the whole town against me, my hot fireman neighbor steps up to act as my protector, and my secret obsession threatens to turn into a case of serious feelings. But I can’t allow that to happen when I’m only here temporarily. I’ve got to keep my walls up to protect the heart everyone thinks I don’t have.<br /><br />RYAN<br /><br />My new neighbor might act like she wants nothing to do with me, but I’ve seen her watching me from her window. I can tell she likes what she sees, and I love pushing her buttons—a little too much. I’ve got no restraint when it comes to this woman.<br /><br />Now I’m screwed because I can’t get her out of my head. The more time I spend with Maggie, the more I suspect she might be the soul mate I’ve been waiting for all my life.<br /><br />Of course I’d find her now when I can’t risk letting her get too close. If she does, she might discover the secret I’ve been keeping from everyone.<br /><br />Soul mate or not, I’ve got to let her go. Even if it kills me.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: start; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /><span style="font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: red;"><b>PINT OF CONTENTION</b></span><span style="color: #201f1e;"> is book #3 in the </span><span style="color: red;">King Family</span><span style="color: #201f1e;"> series set in the small town of Crowder, Texas, home of the King’s Creamery ice cream company.

But both seemed to just slip right past the other's defenses when they weren't looking. We do learn a bit more about the family dynamics of the King clan, as we have in each of the books in the series so far. And we get to see glimpses of the various siblings and family members, as well as some of their Ryan and Maggie's respective co-workers, and his friends. But by and large it is just the two of them interacting with each other in their adorable way. Of course, it takes a lot of time and patience for either of them to make any headway with the other, but they do eventually succumb to one another's charms. And lucky for us that they do! Other than a brief period of time when Ryan is being a big butthead to Maggie, their interactions are delightful to witness. </span></p><div style="text-align: center;"><span face="arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif" style="color: blue;

She has dated a bit, had a few boyfriends, and even a broken engagement, but she never really felt invested in any of those relationships. Because, as we come to find out, her heart still belongs to her first love, the one who got away; the who, as it turns out, she broke up with. </span></span></div><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-weight: inherit;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-weight: inherit;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">There really wasn't much to this love story, at least not plot-wise. Still, I found myself staying up way too late several nights in a row to read this book. The writing flows as smoothly as soft butter on warm rolls!</span></span></div><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-weight: inherit;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-weight: inherit;">Also, second-chance romance is not my favorite </span>motif<span style="font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-weight: inherit;">. But this one was done very well. Other than the heartache they caused each other back in the day, and the time that they wasted when they could have been together, there was very little of the negative aspects I usually associate with this type of story: no failed marriages, or unwanted children, or vengeful ex's or the like.</span></span></div><div><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-weight: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-weight: inherit;">Basically, most of the time - other than catching us up to what happened before - most of the time is spent with these two getting reacquainted. And realizing that they have still always loved one another. </span></span></div><div><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-weight: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-weight: inherit;">I was confused as to whether or not Noah was actually an art dealer, or if that was just a story he made up. It seemed like his painting could have maybe supported him. And while I did understand why he kept that and some other information from Tabitha for awhile, there were some instances when he outright lied to her that I just did not care for. </span></span></div><div><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-weight: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-weight: inherit;">Of course, it is lots of fun to see her friends and their significant others - as well as their dogs!</span></span></div><div><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-weight: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-weight: inherit;">Tabitha's family are all horrible people. I can't believe that she didn't stand up more for Noah and her friends. It's no wonder she was such a jerk and a mess. It's actually amazing that she turned out as well as she did.

The Portal has been spilling out more goop and increasingly dangerous goons for the past two years, and it’s getting worse. On top of that, the kids are facing a mysterious and charismatic figure from David’s past who’s not sitting quite right with Jenny. In order to decode the symbols from her vision, there’s only one thing to do; a week-long cram session at the library. The things they discover lead them straight toward the fight of everyone’s lives. It’s going to take every trick they’ve learned and the combined powers of The Coven, The Guardian, and the Zodiac Cusp Kids to end this story. </span></span></p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><i>Something Final</i> is the last of the stories drawn from Angie's diaries.

In fact, other than the prologue set years in the past, it starts off right in the midst of such a time. Hayes thinks this is finally the start of something between him and Deputy Megan Hager. Turns out though, she is not anywhere near done playing hard to get. First she refuses to see him, then she won't open up to him about some major drama happening in her life. Even to the point that she repeatedly pushes him away. He is not, however, one to be easily deterred. Hayes sticks to her like glue, showing his true colors. Megan has had her faith in men so shaken in the past that she doesn't dare believe what is right in front of her. It takes repeated interventions, not all of them exactly legal, before she finally believes that he means what he says about sticking around. </span></span></div></div><div style="font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-weight: inherit;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></span></div></div><p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;"><i style="background-color: white; color: #800180; font-family: georgia; font-size: 13.2px;">I received a free eBook copy of this title from Social Butterfly PR,<br /></i><i style="background-color: white; color: #800180; font-family: georgia; font-size: 13.2px;">and have willingly provided an honest review.</i></p>

<p>I arched a brow. “Are you daring me to disarm you, baby doll? Because I had a different kind of tussling in mind tonight, but I am totally down with whatever gets you hot.”<br />Her eyes narrowed, but I saw a gleam of interest in them. She hit the release button to drop the magazine cartridge from the Glock then pulled back the slide to spit the live round out onto the floor. She loosened her shoulders. “Show me what you’ve got, big guy.”<br />As much as I loved throwing my weight around in bed with Megan, in this scenario, I was loath to manhandle her. This was a losing proposition.<br />As in, I’d better let her win because me winning would definitely be the wrong move.<br />How did I know this? The gun to the head was a pretty solid giveaway.<br />I eyed her for a solid ten seconds before my hand shot out to knock her wrist up. She landed an impressive karate-style kick in the center of my chest that knocked me back and out of range.<br />This was how she wanted to play?<br />“You’re toying with me,” she accused.<br />“Nah.” I held my hand out for the weapon, and this time she handed it over. When she did, I caught her wrist and spun her around until her back hit my front, and I could restrain her from behind. Our arms were banded about her torso, and my hard dick was nestled against her perfect ass. “I just wait for the right opportunities,” I murmured against her ear.</p>

Turns out that Manic (or Levi, as he prefers to be called by Addie) is another cousin of Cash, Beau and Hank.</span></span></div><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 13.2px;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 13.2px;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Much like Beau, Manic felt the need to leave the isolated mountains where they were born and raised, but that didn't stop it from being home. Since he is returning there for the first visit in ages, and needs a plus one, who better to drag along than Addie. He figures he can work on her resolve to keep him at a distance while they are at it. Only things don't go exactly to plan, not for any of it. </span></span></div><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 13.2px;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif;"><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: medium;">Much like all of the Smith men, once Levi finds his true love, he is all in! Even though it proves a lot tougher than he had anticipated. Not only does he love and adore Addie, but he fulfills her in ways that she could have only dreamed about. While totally being a big, tough, dominant dude, he is also all about pleasure and (other than a little bit of kidnapping) consent, all of which is such a turn-on.</span></div><div style="font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif;"><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif;"><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: medium;">But Addie is messed up in ways that Manic never even considered. And while her ideas are understandable, they certainly aren't reasonable or justified. Even though she knows this logically, it takes an awful lot for her to finally see reason. </span></div><div style="font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif;"><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif;"><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: medium;">In the meantime, however, Manic waits for her! Like, waits and waits and waits. That is most definitely the hottest thing of all, in my opinion. And it makes him totally worthy of the love and trust that she finally bestows upon him. </span></div></div></div></div><p style="text-align: center;"><i style="background-color: white; color: #800180;

<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p><span style="font-family: georgia;">I’m on my way back, my arms full of eggs, when I pick up the scent of an intruder. The front door of my cabin is open and swinging in the breeze. “Motherfucker…”</span></p>
<span style="font-family: georgia;"><!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
</span><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">I pick up my pace, dropping eggs as I rush into the cabin. I make it just in time to hear Lana’s gasp. She’s standing in the bedroom door, her mouth hanging open. And in the kitchen is a big black bear, its face stuck into my ice box.</span></p>
<span style="font-family: georgia;"><!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
</span><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">“No!” I snap, and wave my arms, forgetting I’m carrying the eggs. They spatter to the floor. I catch two of them and lob them at the bear. It scuttles back, but gets a yolk to the snout. Snuffing and sneezing, it shakes its head, spraying egg everywhere.</span></p>
<span style="font-family: georgia;"><!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
</span><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">“Out,” I charge forward, keeping myself between the bear and Lana. I wave an arm like a traffic cop, gesturing to the door. The bear, who is really my brother Axel, gives me a reproachful look and ambles towards the exit. Halfway there, he stops and swivels his head towards my bedroom. He’s scented Lana.</span></p>
<span style="font-family: georgia;"><!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
</span><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">“Now!” I bellow, getting behind him so I can herd him out. The idiot’s probably hung over and looking for easy grub in my fridge. Goddammit. I should’ve put out word that I was on a top secret mission, not to be disturbed.</span></p>
<span style="font-family: georgia;"><!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
</span><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">By the time I get Axel out, my floor is covered in oozing egg yolks and broken shells. Both the fridge and the freezer doors are hanging open, and I have to shove a bunch of food back in to close them. One frozen package is pierced with claw marks–some deer sausage Axel made last year. I don’t know why he stored it with me. I’d forgotten it was there.</span></p>
<span style="font-family: georgia;"><!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
</span><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">There are three small eggs that survived the fight. If I salvage them and the pack of sausage, I can make the human a full meal.</span></p>
<span style="font-family: georgia;"><!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
</span><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">Oh, shit, the human.</span></p>
<span style="font-family: georgia;"><!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
</span><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">Lana is still standing in the door, her brown eyes wide and staring. I hustle over to her.</span></p>
<span style="font-family: georgia;"><!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
</span><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">“Lana.” I rest my hands on her shoulders and check her over. “You okay? Talk to me.”</span></p>
<span style="font-family: georgia;"><!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
</span><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">Her lower lip trembles. “B-b-b–”</span></p>
<span style="font-family: georgia;"><!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
</span><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">“Bear.” I gather her into my arms. This is the third time today I’ve held her, and damn if it gets better every time. “Yes, I know. He's gone now.” I raise my voice and holler out the window at Axel’s retreating form. “And he won’t come back.”</span></p>
<span style="font-family: georgia;"><!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
</span><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">“He just wandered in through the door and got into the fridge,” Lana is breathless. “Guess the bears really are bad around here.”</span></p>
<span style="font-family: georgia;"><!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
</span><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">“You have no idea.”</span></p>

<p class="has-text-align-center"><span style="font-size: medium;">It’s a simple enough agreement: for one month, Silas Flynn is my boyfriend of convenience.</span></p>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
</span><p class="has-text-align-center"><span style="font-size: medium;">He needs his old-fashioned boss to think he’s ready to settle down.</span></p>

</span><p class="has-text-align-center"><span style="font-size: medium;">I need some arm candy to prove to my jerk ex-fiancé that I’ve moved on.</span></p>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
</span><p class="has-text-align-center"><span style="font-size: medium;">Perfect, right? Except for one minor detail: we can’t stand each other.</span></p>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
</span><p class="has-text-align-center"><span style="font-size: medium;">Everybody thinks he's this perfect guy, but I know the real Silas. He’s a cocky, obnoxious jerk who thinks he can charm his way out of trouble and get anything he wants.</span></p>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
</span><p class="has-text-align-center"><span style="font-size: medium;">But there’s one tiny problem with fake dating: it looks a lot like real dating. Worse, it feels a lot like real dating.</span></p>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
</span><p class="has-text-align-center"><span style="font-size: medium;">I know once this is over, we’ll go our separate ways. No matter the smoldering looks he gives me, the possessive way he touches me, or the dirty things he whispers in my ear, Silas isn’t falling for me.</span></p>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
</span><p class="has-text-align-center"><span style="font-size: medium;">That’s fine. No matter how good being with him feels, I’m not falling for him, either.</span></p>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><!--/wp:paragraph-->

The backstory for the starting point of things between Silas and Kat is not AT ALL what I expected. And the way the actual fake relationship progressed was not either. For that matter, even the night in the hotel bed is not what I was anticipating. But it all flowed together smoothly to make quite the story. </span></span></div><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-style: inherit;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-style: inherit;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span><span style="color: #2b00fe;">For two people who start out as enemies </span></span><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="line-height: 107%;">—</span><span> and with very good reason on both sides even </span><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="line-height: 107%;">—</span></span><span><span style="color: #2b00fe;"> they quickly develop a very genuine rapport. It doesn't hurt that each has some anxiety issues, which they themselves find very off-putting; yet which the other one accepts quite readily. It certainly serves to endear them to one another quickly. Not to mention the chemistry between them, which just about sparks and jumps off the page, it's that hot. </span></span></span></div><div style="font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-style: inherit;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><span style="font-style: inherit;">I was anticipating hearing more about the Wildwood Society, since that is the name of the series. We do meet the other members, and learn a bit about all of them, throughout the course of the book. Also, the final chapters do pertain more to that, including the location. But, still, I just expected... </span><i>more</i><span style="font-style: inherit;"> from that quarter.</span></span></span></div><div style="font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-style: inherit;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-style: inherit;"><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: medium;">Overall though, a very good love story, with a most distinctive meet-cute, a delightful story, and a very happy ending. </span></div></div></div><div style="font-style: inherit; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="font-style: inherit; text-align: center;"><i style="color: #800180; font-family: georgia; font-size: 13.2px;">I received a free eBook copy of this title from the Author and Social Butterfly PR,<br /></i><i style="color: #800180; font-family: georgia; font-size: 13.2px;">and have willingly provided an honest review.</i></div></div>

<p class="has-text-align-center"><strong><span style="font-size: medium;">EXCERPT</span></strong></p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p><span style="font-family: georgia;">“Okay,” Kat says, reading from her document, and suddenly she sounds nervous. “The acceptable romantic actions.”<br />I settle in a little more against the desk, getting comfortable.<br />“Hand holding,” she starts, her voice low, not looking up. “Putting our arms around each other. Touching on the back. Touching on the shoulders and arms. Sitting close together. Quietly talking to one another. Hair caresses within reason. Non-mouth kisses in non-risque regions. Moderate cuddling while clothed.”<br />The list comes out rapid-fire and staccato, and I’m not sure she pauses for a breath until it’s over. I grab a pen..<br />“I’d like a definition of within reason,” I say, making a quick note.<br />“I mean don’t pet me or something, I’m not a cat. Are you going to make me define moderate as it pertains to cuddling, or can we both agree to a mutual understanding of the word and move on?” she asks, giving me a pointed look.<br />“If I were your attorney I’d advise a completely new draft of this document five times longer and a hundred times more specific,” I say. “You don’t even have a breach of contract clause in here.”<br />Now she’s pinching the bridge of her nose, glasses hoisted up.<br />“I’m sorry that I wrote things down because I wanted to be sure we were on the same page about whatever the fuck it is we’re even doing,” she says, voice muffled by her hand but sarcastic. “Is there any chance we can just get through this and move on?”<br />Something about the way she says it hits me right below the sternum, in that soft, susceptible spot: Kat with her shields briefly down, human for once instead of the stony, spiky creature who saw me at my worst and drove me down instead of having some mercy. Suddenly there’s a bend, some give, an acknowledgement of being made of flesh and blood, same as everyone.<br />“We can move on to the second article,” I concede, and then the glasses are back. “Entitled ‘Acceptable actions when circumstances require’?”<br />“Thank you,” she says, and reads. “Touching on the leg. Intense cuddles. Full-trunk embraces. Romantic-style face touching. Any sort of stroking. Mouth kisses. Verbal declarations of attraction. Kisses in moderately risqué locations.”<br />She finishes, and I don’t hate hearing her say moderately risque locations.<br />“When, exactly, do circumstances require?” I finally ask.<br />I get a look, and hold up my free hand.<br />“Honest question.”<br />“When the situation calls for us to… need to demonstrate our attraction,” she says, quickly. I think she’s blushing, the faintest of pinks under light gold skin.<br />“You mean when he’s around,” I say. “This is a list of things you want me to do in front of your ex.”<br />She holds my gaze for a long time: three seconds, then five.<br />“The things that’ll get him fired up,” I go on.<br />Kat takes one deep breath, her chest rising, then falling under her shirt.<br />“Yes,” she finally says, voice hushed. “This is what he’s gonna hate.”<br />“When I hold you close and whisper something dirty in your ear,” I say, rephrasing the words in front of me. I say it to get a reaction from her, and her lips twitch like maybe she’s trying not to smile.<br />“I think whispering would defeat the purpose,” she says.<br />“Then I’ll hold you close and holler something dirty.”<br />“As long as it works.”<br />I don’t hate the thought quite as much as I might like. I wonder how she’d react, whether she’d blush or recoil. Maybe both. Kat seems complicated.<br />“Home stretch,” I say, making myself relax back against the desk, banishing all thoughts of whispers. “The never list.”<br />“No touching in the swimsuit zone,” she says. “No weird PDA. No entering one another’s domiciles. No bed sharing.”<br />“That’s it?”<br />“I’m concise,” she says, and that glimmer of amusement is back. “And don’t ask for a definition of weird.”</span></p>

</span><p class="has-text-align-center"><span style="font-size: medium;">But he’s not ignoring her. He’s actively working to send her and her “ridiculous menagerie” (rude) right back out of town.</span></p>

</span><p class="has-text-align-center"><span style="font-size: medium;">Still, as hard as she tries, it’s impossible to stop thinking about the small town grump’s long hair and tattoos and that mouth.</span></p>

</span><p class="has-text-align-center"><span style="font-size: medium;">Nope, the one that kisses her like she’s everything he’s ever wanted and says very dirty things in her ear. And sweet, protective, supportive things. Sometimes. Accidentally. When she catches him off-guard.</span></p>

None of which I am inclined to reveal here, of course. Why spoil the surprise(s)? But let's just say that the revelations are plentiful and come from a lot of different places, some rather anticipated and others highly not. As usual with books in this series (and this genre of book in general), both of the main players have their own issues, but one of them is decidedly more of a butthead than the other. Still, we do, eventually, get to see quite a few sweet and also spicy moments between Knox and Fiona. Not to mention all of the amazing secondary players in both of their lives. Those encounters alone make the book well worth reading. But they are really nothing more than an appetizer. The romance between these two is definitely a very tasty main course, well worth the time it takes to consume it, even if that does end up being well into the wee hours on a work night. =) </span></span></div><div style="font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i style="color: #800180; font-family: georgia; font-size: 13.2px;">I received a free eBook copy of this title from the Author and Social Butterfly PR,<br /></i><i style="color: #800180; font-family: georgia; font-size: 13.2px;">and have willingly provided an honest review.</i></span></span></div></div>

<span style="font-size: medium;"><!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
</span><p class="has-text-align-center"><span style="font-size: medium;">“Remember that thing we talked about at Christmas?"<br />Knox felt his gut clench. They'd talked about sleeping together. And him becoming the temporary foster dad to three baby otters.<br />And they'd kissed for the first time. A kiss that had been causing annoying, unwelcome, frustrating dirty dreams for three fucking months.<br />"About having a salacious affair where we sneak around behind our friends' backs and sleep together whenever I'm in town?" she pressed when he didn't answer.<br />"Yes. I remember."<br />Too well. He was incredibly pissed about how often he'd replayed that conversation and how restless he'd been waiting for her to call or come back to Autre.<br />He didn't pine for women. Ever. He did the opposite of that.<br />But now she was here. And Knox wasn't sure what he was feeling. Her showing up unannounced wasn't unusual. Fiona Grady rolled into Autre without warning more often than not in her grape-soda-purple truck that sent his heart hammering and cock hardening.<br />But it had been three months since he'd seen her. Since they'd talked. Since he'd had any clue what she was doing, where she was, how she was.<br />Suddenly, she was on his doorstep asking about their plan to bang whenever she was in town for a couple of days?<br />"Okay, well, there's something I need to tell you that will make you not want to do that anymore," she said. "So I was wondering if maybe you wanted to get naked together once before I told you and ruined everything?"<br />He opened his mouth to reply. Then shut it without a word. What the hell?<br />He glanced over his shoulder. Three minutes ago, he'd been sitting at his kitchen table doing paperwork with a cup of coffee and listening to a podcast about new creative urban development ideas.<br />Now the woman he was low-level obsessed with was on his porch asking if he wanted to have sex before she told him something that would make him not want to have sex with her anymore.<br />He ran a hand through his hair. This was why Fiona Grady was no good for him. She came into his carefully controlled and organized life and made things chaotic and messy.<br />"Are you sick?" he asked.<br />"Sick? No."<br />"Dying?"<br />"No."<br />"Is anyone dying?"<br />"No."<br />"Are you married?" He braced himself. He knew very little about this woman, actually, and if she belonged to someone else, he'd… leave her alone. And hate that man. And never forgive her for stirring him up like this.<br />"Absolutely not."<br />"Engaged?"<br />"No."<br />Okay, that was all…way too much of a relief. He should not be this happy to hear that.<br />"Did you kill someone?" he asked.<br />She tipped her head, her mouth curling. "Is that a definite deal-breaker?"<br />No, probably not. Knox narrowed his eyes.<br />"No, I haven't killed anyone."<br />"Are the Feds looking for you? Or will I be implicated in some kind of crime if I let you in?"<br />"Not that I'm aware of."<br />"That's not a no."<br />"I'm just being honest."<br />Fair enough. Fiona was a wild animal advocate. The type of person to show up at roadside petting zoos and 'circuses' to monitor how the animals were treated and hand out literature to people attending the events, raising awareness about the poor conditions and treatment of those animals. She showed up to help rescue and care for animals, wild and domestic, after natural disasters such as hurricanes and wildfires. She regularly lobbied local, state, and even the national government for animal protections.<br />The chance that she could have done something in the "gray area" for one of her causes was pretty good.<br />The problem with that was he knew that wouldn't keep him from wanting her.<br />She was precisely the kind of woman he should be avoiding.<br />He studied her face for another long moment, then gave in to the inevitable. He pushed his door open.<br />"Yeah?" she asked.<br />"Yeah."<br />She wasn't dying, wasn't married, and hadn't killed anyone. And he wanted her more than he'd ever wanted another woman in his life. So how was he possibly going to shut the door on her? After three months of missing her? He wasn't that strong. Or stupid.</span></p>

Both are set in the world of the <i>Boys of the Bayou Gone Wild</i> series in Autre, Louisiana. We've previously met and observed the main protagonists of this story, Knox and Fiona, in prior books of the series. In fact, watching them spar and flirt has been a brief highlight of each story. But here we get a concentrated amount of both spicy and sweet. Plus, we get to experience them alone together (something that seldom ever occurs in the setting of these stories), and we see them make a small advancement in their overall relationship. It's very fun and delightful. About the only thing to complain about here is that there isn't more of it!</span></div><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 13.2px;"><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Currently FREE on ALL major eBook platforms!</span></div></div></div>Jen Lapahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11391790524332333541noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5488995273681521263.post-63152417519695139022022-03-28T00:12:00.004-06:002022-03-29T21:29:05.340-06:00RELEASE BLITZ & BOOK REVIEW for "Alpha's Fire (Shifter Ops, #4)" by Renee Rose & Lee Savino<p style="text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5sQgGxBztXgCEj8NAuDMXinKgnXfAmz5wHB_XgQ0kX8w52NPa4zU5PZPOVNrP5foxNeNReEBU4pjnwxfBtPAsdHq8ruxpyLwQGInATNc5Tqa3aDYA5RjCejuI9dBAOx_zWeoLY92JQmc3NG6KTRJ0ROcNzlW_FATpJClWCMN0NgM8ol-32eG5kqoK/s475/Alpha's%20Fire.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="475" data-original-width="317" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5sQgGxBztXgCEj8NAuDMXinKgnXfAmz5wHB_XgQ0kX8w52NPa4zU5PZPOVNrP5foxNeNReEBU4pjnwxfBtPAsdHq8ruxpyLwQGInATNc5Tqa3aDYA5RjCejuI9dBAOx_zWeoLY92JQmc3NG6KTRJ0ROcNzlW_FATpJClWCMN0NgM8ol-32eG5kqoK/w268-h400/Alpha's%20Fire.jpg" width="268" /></a></p><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: red;"><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">Alpha's Fire </span></b><br /><span style="font-size: large;">(Shifter Ops, #4)</span></span><br /><span style="color: #800180; font-size: x-large;">by <b>Renee Rose & Lee Savino</b></span></div><p></p><div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #201f1e; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; padding: 0px; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"><div class="x_gmail_signature" dir="ltr" style="border: 0px; color: inherit; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></div></div><p></p><div class="x_gmail_default" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; padding: 0px; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-indent: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; widows: 2;"><div style="border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><div dir="ltr" style="border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><div dir="ltr" style="border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><div class="x_gmail_default" style="border: 0px; color: black; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><i>I’ve waited 1000 years for my mate.

Not to mention his various interactions with the Black Wolf pack, including previously kidnapping Adele, basically trying to kill Rafe, etc. What I had not planned on was feeling at all sympathetic to Gabriel's plight.

In fact, considering where and when he came from, his attitude is actually quite progressive. But it does take quite a bit before he realizes just how much he has to change in order to be a part of Tabitha's modern world, and to have any chance of keeping her. </span></span></div><div style="font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif;"><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-style: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif;"><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-style: inherit;">Luckily, he does finally begin to loosen up, and even more importantly to open up around her.

Truth be told, she had been hopeless attracted to him for just as long; not that she'd ever admit it, especially not to herself. But with the excuse of the love arrow that impaled them both, she at least had some cover to let loose and enjoy some intimate time with Chance. </span></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: red; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: medium;"><i>Sirens were off limits for other supernaturals to kill.</i></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif;"><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: medium;">And enjoy it they did! There are some mighty toasty scenes that occur within this story, that's for sure. But there is also the development of a deeper connection between these two. As well as some outside intrigue and danger. Definitely a book that I recommend for a fun, romantic, dirty, and sweet read, all on the way to their very own happily-ever-after!</span></span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #800180; font-family: georgia; text-align: center;"><i>I received a free eBook copy of this title from the Author,<br /></i><i>and have willingly provided an honest review.</i></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif;"></span></p>Jen Lapahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11391790524332333541noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5488995273681521263.post-18760520135046875022022-02-03T00:59:00.021-07:002022-02-03T01:12:39.470-07:00RELEASE BLITZ & BOOK REVIEW for "Say It Like You Mane It (Boys of the Bayou Gone Wild, #6)" by Erin Nicholas<p style="text-align: center;"> <img alt="" class="wp-image-218" height="148" src="https://thebooktressofsolitude.files.wordpress.com/2022/01/silymi-rb-banner.jpg?w=1024" style="text-align: center;" width="400" /></p>

I don't know why; this story was perfectly fine. But I just wasn't feeling it this time around! Maybe it was just the extremely slow burn aspect of their romance, but there just wasn't a lot of obvious chemistry between Zander and Caroline. Plus, they were both rather annoying and kept perseverating on their own things. Additionally, the main premise of the story was also very slow, with not a lot going on there, or even making much sense. Sadly, I was just rather disappointed in this one. Not to mention, I couldn't figure out how they would even be able to be together in the future, given Caroline's new-found career path. It was still a book about the Landrys, so that is always fun. And there was a lot of interaction between many of the family members in this episode. But even much of that felt rather forced. As did the introduction of several new characters, who it seems quite apparent could be starring in future books. Who knows though, maybe by the next time we visit the bayou I'll be feeling it more! Still, as with just about any book by Erin Nicholas, it was definitely this side of bad, just not quite as stellar as some of her others.</span></span></div><div style="font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 13.2px;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><span face=""Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: center;"><div style="color: #800180; font-family: georgia;"><i>I received a free eBook copy of this title from the Author,</i></div><div style="color: #800180; font-family: georgia;"><i>and have willingly provided an honest review.</i></div></div></div>

To date, she’s written over thirty sexy, contemporary novels that have been described as “toe-curling,” “enchanting,” “steamy,” and “fun.” She adores reluctant heroes, imperfect heroines, and happily ever afters.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Erin lives in the Midwest, where she enjoys spending time with her husband (who only wants to read the sex scenes in her books), her kids (who will never read the sex scenes in her books), and her family and friends (who claim to be “shocked” by the sex scenes in her books).</div><p></p>

I did NOT like Cedric in <i>Not His Dragon</i>, other than the fact that at least he was honorable; but I did come to like him quite a bit as we saw more of him in some of the other tales. Here we really get to know him, and I was truly impressed with how thoughtful he was as a suitor. Not to mention how forward-thinking his ideas were for someone of his age and upbringing. </span></span></div><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><span face=""Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><span face=""Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: medium;">Bella was sweet and innocent; and a bit of an idiot, if you ask me. The situations she kept putting herself in were just dumb and basically lead to all of the conflict in the story.</span></span></div><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><span face=""Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span face="Amazon Ember, Arial, sans-serif" style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: medium;">These two do not seem like a very likely match in the beginning, but the more we see them together the more apparent it becomes that they are perfect for one another. </span></div><div><span face="Amazon Ember, Arial, sans-serif" style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span face="Amazon Ember, Arial, sans-serif" style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: medium;">The outside influences here were a bit much for me. There was a scene at the near end which I had a very hard time with. And this was considering it was regarding made-up characters of a fantasy nature! But it really upset me. </span></div><div><span face="Amazon Ember, Arial, sans-serif" style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span face="Amazon Ember, Arial, sans-serif" style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: medium;">Otherwise, however, most of the tail was fun, delightful, and entertaining. I especially enjoyed one of the final hurdles that these two had to overcome, or rather what brought about the resolution (with the help of Bella's parents, no less!).</span></div><div><span face="Amazon Ember, Arial, sans-serif" style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span face="Amazon Ember, Arial, sans-serif" style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: medium;">Seeing prior characters from previous books in the series is always fun, especially when they are viewed in a new light or different situation, as occurred here with several of them. There were also several new characters introduced, ranging from delightful to dreadful.

Of course, it was a lot more tolerable in this instance because the couple had only been broken up for six months (not the years seen in many of this type of story). And they hadn't broken up due to some huge transgression of either party, just one of them freaking out at how serious things were getting between them. Also, neither of them was with anyone else in the meantime.</span></span></span></div><div style="color: #222222;"><span face="Roboto, Arial, sans-serif" style="letter-spacing: 0.2px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div style="color: #222222;"><span face="Roboto, Arial, sans-serif" style="letter-spacing: 0.2px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><span style="font-family: arial;">I did have a hard time connecting with Lucy, especially at first. She was just so mean! And while I kind of understood her reasoning about not wanting to get too involved, I also thought it was a cop out. Not to mention how immature she was in handling many things, especially their initial breakup. Most of their problems could have been solved with some good communication. </span></span></span></div><div style="color: #222222;"><span face="Roboto, Arial, sans-serif" style="letter-spacing: 0.2px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div style="color: #222222;"><span face="Roboto, Arial, sans-serif" style="letter-spacing: 0.2px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Tanner, on the other hand, was a true gem! Despite some initial resentment at being forced to work with Lucy, and mostly because of her poor attitude toward him, he very quickly starts being as nice as can be to her, even when he doesn't think there is any chance they'll ever be together again. Once they decide to try things again at least to some extent, he is like the perfect boyfriend. Not sure that she deserved him, actually.</span></span></span></div><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;"><span face="Roboto, Arial, sans-serif" style="letter-spacing: 0.2px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-family: arial;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;"><span face="Roboto, Arial, sans-serif" style="letter-spacing: 0.2px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="color: red;"><i>Something in her spoke to something in me, and just like that, I knew I loved her.</i></span></span></span></div><div style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;"><span face="Roboto, Arial, sans-serif" style="letter-spacing: 0.2px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="color: red;"><i><br /></i></span></span></span></div></div></div><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; color: #201f1e; line-height: 19.5px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="color: #2b00fe; letter-spacing: 0.2px; white-space: pre-wrap;">While they came from vastly different backgrounds and had different types of baggage they were carrying around, they both had HORRIBLE families! I mean, these were truly awful people. I cannot believe how much Lucy let her mother and brother take advantage of her for so long; and how gullible she was when it came to her mom especially. Tanner's father was a real piece of work as well, with no apparent redeeming qualities at all. Tanner did at least have some half-way decent siblings.

These two had a whole "will-they-or-won't-they" vibe going throughout the prior two books of the series, <i>Alpha's Moon</i> (Deke & Sadie's story) and <i>Alpha's Vow</i> (Lance & Charlie's tale). </span></span></div><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;"><span face="Roboto, Arial, sans-serif" style="letter-spacing: 0.2px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;"><span face="Roboto, Arial, sans-serif" style="letter-spacing: 0.2px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Rafe is kind of a butthead, and really puts Adele through the ringer by being extremely hot-and-cold with her, not to mention all of the secrets that he keeps. He does not, under any circumstances, want to claim her as his mate. He's afraid both that it will be too much responsibility for him with everything else he already has going on, and that it will put her in danger. But what he apparently fails to realize is that she is already in danger from multiple fronts, and he has already assumed responsibility for her just due to her relationship with his pack members and their spouses. Besides which, he knows that she's his fated mate and that he'll go moon-mad if he doesn't claim her, so it isn't as though he really has a choice in the matter.</span></span></div><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;"><span face="Roboto, Arial, sans-serif" style="letter-spacing: 0.2px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;"><span face="Roboto, Arial, sans-serif" style="letter-spacing: 0.2px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Adele is super spunky, while also being totally loving and protective. In a nutshell, she's the ultimate alpha mate. But she does, however, make some really dumb mistakes, that seem to totally belie how otherwise intelligent she seems. (Like, what part of "Don't leave the house" was not clear?!?) </span></span></div><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;"><span face="Roboto, Arial, sans-serif" style="letter-spacing: 0.2px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;"><span face="Roboto, Arial, sans-serif" style="letter-spacing: 0.2px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">But eventually these two do get together, and it's delightful to witness. Every scene with other members of the pack are fun as well. It's always great to see the stars of prior tomes in the set and catch-up with them. Not to mention that every interaction with Channing is pure gold.</span></span></div><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;"><span face="Roboto, Arial, sans-serif" style="letter-spacing: 0.2px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span face="Roboto, Arial, sans-serif"><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-family: arial;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I was rather confused by Gabe Dieter. He is presented as a really bad guy, totally on the opposite of things from Rafe and his pack, even dangerous to them. And yet his fated mate is apparently Tabitha, who I just can't see being with someone who is diametrically opposed to her friends and their mates. It will definitely be interesting to see where things go with them in the next volume of the series.</span></span></span></span></div><div><span face="Roboto, Arial, sans-serif"><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-family: arial;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span face="Roboto, Arial, sans-serif"><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-family: arial;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span><h4 class="has-text-align-center" style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 0px; position: relative; white-space: normal;"><span style="color: #800180; font-weight: normal;"><i>I received a free eBook copy of this title from Social Butterfly PR, </i></span></h4><h4 class="has-text-align-center" style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 0px; position: relative; white-space: normal;"><span style="color: #800180; font-weight: normal;"><i>and have willingly provided an honest review.</i></span></h4></span></span></span></span></div><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;"><br /></div></div></div></figcaption></figure></div>

<p><strong><u><span style="font-size: large;"><i>Excerpt</i></span></u></strong></p>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
</span><p><span style="font-size: medium;">“Adele.” Rafe catches my elbows to steady me as I bounce off his immovable form.</span></p>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
</span><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I’m more flustered than a misstep calls for, but it’s only because my nerves were already ragged over asking Rafe for a job, and now that I’ve decided I don’t actually want the job, I feel somehow caught.</span></p>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
</span><p><span style="font-size: medium;">“Rafe,” I manage to say. Don’t be nervous. Imagine him naked.</span></p>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
</span><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Trouble is, I imagine Rafe naked far too much.</span></p>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
</span><p><span style="font-size: medium;">He’s still holding my elbows, standing far too close. Rafe’s not as Hollywood good-looking as his brother Lance, who recently knocked up my friend Charlie. His hair is darker. His eyes are green. Lance is charming in that laidback, lazy smile kind of way. Rafe is the opposite. No charm. Definitely not laidback. There’s a ruggedness and ferocity about him that makes being around him feel terribly dangerous.</span></p>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
</span><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Dangerous, intense, and… exciting.</span></p>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
</span><p><span style="font-size: medium;">He’s the kind of guy you’d want on your side, not against it. Last week, when my business partner turned up dead, Charlie got kidnapped, and I was picked up by the police for questioning, I learned exactly how powerful it is to have a guy like him in my court.</span></p>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
</span><p><span style="font-size: medium;">So I’m already beholden to Rafe.</span></p>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
</span><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Something I hate. Don’t trust a man …</span></p>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
</span><p><span style="font-size: medium;">“I—um—I was just leaving.”</span></p>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
</span><p><span style="font-size: medium;">“You were?” His brows go down, gaze sweeps over me. “It looks like you just got here.” His eyes snag on my high heeled boots. “You walk in the snow in those?”</span></p>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
</span><p><span style="font-size: medium;">“Yes?” Why did I make that sound like a question? Something about his surly black brows makes me uncertain. I clear my throat and try again. “Yes, of course.”</span></p>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
</span><p><span style="font-size: medium;">“You need to be more careful. Those boots aren’t good in the snow.” And there it is, the most annoying thing about Rafe. He orders everyone around. The fact that he’s always in fatigue pants and a gray or army green Henley doesn’t lessen his drill sergeant vibe. Neither does the way he stands and looks down on everyone, like a general inspecting his troops and finding us all wanting. I think it’s great he had a military career—when I first met him, I thanked him for his service—but he’s not the boss of me!</span></p>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
</span><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I’m tempted to declare that and stomp my boots like I’m four, but that won’t help him take me seriously. Or land me a job.</span></p>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
</span><p><span style="font-size: medium;">“Are you meeting someone?” Rafe asks.</span></p>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
</span><p><span style="font-size: medium;">“No. Um, yes. Ah—” I shake my head. I’m on the spot here, not sure whether to flee or beg. Neither idea appeals.</span></p>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
</span><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Of course, he doesn’t make it easy for me. He releases my elbows to put his hands on his hips, like I’m in trouble, and now I have to answer to him.</span></p>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
</span><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Screw this. I can’t work for him.</span></p>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
</span><p><span style="font-size: medium;">“Nothing. Nevermind. I have to go.” I try to move past him, but he moves to block my path.</span></p>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
</span><p><span style="font-size: medium;">“Hang on a second. Were you here to see me? Or did something happen?” He scans the restaurant with a scowl, as if to identify some mystery offender who was rude to me.</span></p>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
</span><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Shoot. Maybe I am supposed to ask him for a job. I mean, here he is, insisting I explain myself.</span></p>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
</span><p><span style="font-size: medium;">“Rafe, I—”</span></p>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
</span><p><span style="font-size: medium;">At the sound of his name, his gaze snaps back to mine, locking and honing in. When I nervously lick the lip gloss off my lips, his gaze dips to my mouth. A hungry expression comes over his face.</span></p>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
</span><p><span style="font-size: medium;">God, I’m hungry, too. And not for food.</span></p>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
</span><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Every time I’m near this guy, a slow thrum of awareness tunes up between my legs. His big body, hard and solid with muscle, his dark hair and eyes... I gaze up at him, and it’s all too easy to imagine what it would be like to be underneath him. He’d probably order me, as bossy and dominant in bed as he is out.</span></p>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
</span><p><span style="font-size: medium;">And wouldn’t that be delicious?</span></p>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
</span><p><span style="font-size: medium;">No, no, no. I absolutely do not want Rafe, naked and looming over me, telling me what to do. That would be terrible.</span></p>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
</span><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Gawd, my panties are soaked. Time to get this conversation back on track. I take a second to remember how much Rafe annoys me and raise my chin.</span></p>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
</span><p><span style="font-size: medium;">“Honestly?” I say. “I came to see if you, um, still needed help. You know, in the kitchen. I’m, ah, not going to be able to reopen The Chocolatier at the moment.”</span></p>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
</span><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Rafe goes still, his brows angled together in concern.</span></p>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
</span><p><span style="font-size: medium;">It’s way more of a reaction than I expected from him. I don’t know what I thought he’d do—blow me off or tell me to fill out an application. But instead, he grabs my hand and draws me further into the Grille. “Come here,” he says gruffly.</span></p>
