It is recommended to read the other books in both the Men of Honor series and the Acts of Honor series as all the characters play recurring roles. However it’s not necessary. </i></b></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">First and foremost, HIIII. Nothing can bring me back from the dusty bookshelves like a K.C. Lynn book. </span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Sweet Love is a novella following K.C. Lynns Sweet </span>Temptation<span style="font-family: inherit;"> Men of Honor Book 2 (click <a href="http://beautandthebook.blogspot.com/2014/05/sweet-temptation-by-kc-lynn.html">HERE</a> for my <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/863220874?book_show_action=false">review</a> for Sweet </span>Temptation<span style="font-family: inherit;">)</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Sweet Love fast forwards the couple of Sweet Temptation "Sexy Sawyer" and "Cupcake Grace" and their twin children Parker and "Shortcake" Hope. I would highly recommend reading the Men of Honor series prior to Sweet Love as you get the full effect of each character.</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Sweet Love is a refreshing insight into the world of Sexy Sawyer and his Cupcake. Throughout the book you are engulfed into the relationship between parents and children and get to visit some favorites along the way.</span></div>

I appreciated Sweet Love for the glimpse it allows me to have with a family i feel like i am apart of. You laugh, you cry, you get angry, sad, excited and frustrated but at the end of the day Sweet Love will fill you with just that, sweet love.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<br />
I give Sweet Love by K.C. Lynn 5 Glasses of the most amazing Moscoto with a Side of Hero Pie<br />
<br />
I enjoyed the journey i got to experience with Sawyer and Grace. Their love and foundation is so strong they are able to find ways to hope each other up with outside things attempt to rip them a part. Theres a line Sawyer says that reads "The easiest thing ive ever done in my life is love you Grace" and you know he means that with ever fiber in his body. Sawyer's able to still be his ego driven self but his maturity as a husband and father is inspiring. Sweet Love is written in a realistic way of the dynamics of an amazing marriage deal with a tribulation. Grace is still the sweet thoughtful and caring person we've seen before but their is a confidence to her i feel the love of Sawyer and joy of motherhood gives. The strength Grace has gives a glimpse of what the support of her new family gives her. The novella ended and i wanted more. I wanted more of a look into the day to day of the Evens family because i feel like a part of their world. Keep the tissues near by and prepare of an emotional event that enforces the power of faith, strength of family and the confidence of Sweet Love.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: inherit;">KAYLA~ He moved in next door to me, all bronzed skin and lean muscle,
with a panty dropping smile that could make any girl weep with need. He
set my body and teenage hormones on fire for three years. THREE LONG
YEARS.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-nj8D6v1Bmzk/VQTEtcitZLI/AAAAAAAAAR8/LBLrTjxCfhM/s1600/The%2BFinal%2BTemptation%2Bcover.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-nj8D6v1Bmzk/VQTEtcitZLI/AAAAAAAAAR8/LBLrTjxCfhM/s1600/The%2BFinal%2BTemptation%2Bcover.jpg" height="296" width="400" /></a><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: inherit;">In that time he became a cop- Officer Sexy as I liked to
call him- and every time I pushed, he retreated. But I knew he felt it, I
saw it in the way he looked at me. So one night I set my plan in motion
and upped my game. I finally reeled the sexy bastard in, and he didn’t
know what hit him.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: inherit;">COOPER~ She tempted me with her smart mouth and
tight body for three painful years. I took an oath to uphold the law
and honor it, which she made almost impossible not to break. But when
the day finally came, I made her pay, every beautiful inch of her. She
might drive me crazy and be the biggest pain in the ass, but she’s my
pain in the ass. And I’ll spend everyday for the rest of my life making
sure she never forgets who she belongs to. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: inherit;">***</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: inherit;">You asked for
our story and now we are going to give it to you. Cooper and I are not
only going to share our special day with you, but we are going to take
you back to a time that was frustrating, sexy, explosive and downright
beautiful. </span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: inherit;">Here is our story, from beginning to… forever.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: inherit;">This is a
Novella with an HEA and is told in dual POV. It is the last book to the
Men Of Honor Series. Although you don’t have to read every book in the
series, I strongly recommend that the first book, Fighting Temptation,
should be read prior to Kayla and Cooper’s story in order to understand
many aspects of this book.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: inherit;">WARNING~ Due to mature subject matter,
such as explicit sexual situations and coarse language, this story is
not suitable for anyone under the age of eighteen.</span></div>

<span style="color: #741b47;"><b><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 10.5pt;">The moment his control
snapped.</span></b></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">We stare at each other for a
long moment, the air thick with tension. His hands still grip my arms tightly
when something passes between us, something powerful.</span> </span></span></span></div>
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: inherit;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: inherit;">“You know what? Fuck it!”
Then suddenly it happens, the one thing I have been wanting from him, for three
long years. He kisses me, his mouth crashing to mine, hard, hot and
demanding. </span></div>
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: inherit;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>Oh god</i>. My knees go weak and a whimper escapes me at the
first sweep of his tongue. His taste—his incredible, masculine taste—floods my
senses and sets my body on fire. I waste no time giving just as good as I get.
My fingers weave into his hair with a grip that draws a growl from him and I
match him stroke for every desperate stroke, taking what I have ached for, what
I have dreamed about for so long.</span></span></div>
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: inherit;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: inherit;">Catching me off guard, Cooper
picks me up by my ass and walks us a few steps. I hear a bunch of shit crash to
the floor before my back suddenly meets the cold, hard surface of his kitchen
table. We never break the kiss, our mouths devouring one another, our tongues
dueling a beautiful battle of frustration and pure, hot lust. My lungs crave
oxygen but I can’t stop, I don’t want to, I need more. I rip open his uniform
shirt and the tiny buttons fly all over the place. My hands slip beneath his
undershirt and roam over the smooth, hard plains of his abs.</span></div>
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: inherit;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: inherit;">With a groan he rips his
mouth from mine, and starts trailing his lips down my throat. “You drive me
fucking crazy!” he growls. “The way you torment my dick, prancing around this
tight, little body of yours. Testing every measure of my control!”</span></div>
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: inherit;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: inherit;"><i>And I finally snapped it.
Thank the Lord!</i></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Lissa was a twenty-year-old girl trying to make it in the equestrian world. She was sassy and smart, strong and a little weird. And she had no idea what she was doing.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Ethan was twenty-seven, tattooed, tall, dark, and hot. And lugging some baggage. He’d already made it in the business and brought Lissa on to help get her on her feet. And it turned out, he liked a little weird.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Ethan made it clear that he wasn’t in the market for a relationship. Lissa was happy to learn the ropes and push her attraction aside.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">But how do you draw the line when every touch makes you…shiver?</span></span><br />

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“Dance with me?” Lawrence’s voice behind me pulled me from my musings.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I turned with a smile. “Why thank you, sir.”</span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I followed him onto the dance floor, the orchestra playing a Frank Sinatra ballad. He swept me into his arms like, well, like the perfect gay best friend.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“Don’t you say it.”</span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“Say what?” I asked innocently.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“I am not your gay best friend. I have sisters. They took dance lessons. My mom made me partner them.”</span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I couldn’t help laughing loudly, drawing some disapproving glances. He quickly spun me and dipped me in playful retaliation. As he drew me back up, I stood staring straight into Ethan’s heated gaze. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“Can I cut in?” he asked without breaking our eye contact. </span></span><br />
<a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/proxy/metgyXg3qVERrHLr18wmTkJpqltweWHa08UMe4EHq6s9YWBNvs7mJ_eTr58b4Pa55SNKPg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://i57.tinypic.com/55j44.jpg" style="height: 528px; width: 350px;" /></a><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">From the corner of my eye, I caught Lawrence nodding and stepping away before I was pulled flush to Ethan and we glided across the floor. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“You look absolutely stunning.” He breathed softly into my ear, his right hand settling low, really low, on my bare back, and I shivered.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“Cold?” I felt him smile.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“No, I’m not cold,” I stated quietly, enjoying the feel of being in his arms, the texture of him beneath his tuxedo, and the touch of our hands. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“Are you having fun tonight?”</span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“I am.” I nodded slowly. “I didn’t know you would be here.”</span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“I came as a trophy.”</span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I pulled back to look in his eyes. “Whose trophy? And why?” I was a little irrationally angry and felt stupid that I thought we were having a kind of moment, only to find out he was here with someone else.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“Why are you angry? You do realize you’re here with a date too, right?”</span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I waved him off. “Lawrence and I are just friends. He’s my arm candy for the night. And maybe a kiss at midnight if I get tipsy enough.”</span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">He glared at me, jaw flexing back and forth. “You’re just friends who sleep together?”</span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“No. Just friends. As in… actual friends. Nothing more.”</span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“Why have you both been blatantly flaunting your relationship in front of me then?”</span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I shrugged. “It tickled me.”</span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“It tickled you,” he repeated slowly, dangerously. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“Yes. It did. It tickled me to see your mood swings every day, and I was making bets on when you were going to start your period.”</span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Despite his irritation, he laughed out loud. “God, you’re weird.” He pulled me closer, wrapping my arms up around his neck and sliding his hands down my bare arms and then down my back, settling them there. “I don’t know what I’m doing with you,” he muttered softly.</span></span><br />

Foss</a><br />
My rating: <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1104115422">4 of 5 stars</a><br />
<br />
Shiver was a great surprise read. The story encompasses Lissa and her ups and downs from 18 on. Lissa moves away with her best friend to accomplish a life long equestrian goal. After three years not only is she still protecting her skill but with a boyfriend whose just...hmm an idiot. <br />
Circumstances happen that not only change her goal but also change situations.<br />
<br />
I love Shiver, which after reading is an appropriate name. Im on the fence on the last few chapters. I feel they were building up for a store that didn't end. I wanted more by the time i read the epilogue as hints of trouble with Lissa's friends is discussed but no details made.<br />
<br />
Im proud of the strength Lissa and Ethan have and i was excited to submerge myself into their world. <br />
<br />
Great book i would def recommend it!

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I live in beautiful Northern Virginia with my incredible husband, two awesome kids, three dogs, and two budgies. My husband and I both grew up riding and competing horses and have our own equestrian operation that we run together. In my spare time, I read through the hundreds of stories awaiting me on my e-reader.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">My love of books started early, and my mom used to ration my reading time so I didn't go through them too quickly. I love all things romantic, whether it's dark or light or silly or dirty, but I really love a happy ending!</span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">In my small moments of quiet time, you'll find me sipping on wine and reading while any movie where people randomly burst into song or dance plays in the background.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">"the Chronicles of Narnia series was one of my favorite. I remember looking in every closet we had trying to find a secret door so I could take Kade and Mia away somewhere..." </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Um I think I feel in love with Travis more than anything. Billionaire Undone is an example with no matter how brilliant a man could be women will always be smarter! ;-) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Ally and Travis have worked together in their own version of tension for over four years when the one thing keeping things at a distance no longer exist. Billionaire Undone is the perfect name as Travis slowly unravels as the book goes on. Without the ability to be indifferent its fun to watch hes hard exterior break down.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The growth of emotions and the twist and turns make this book worth its price and I would recommend it. Im not sure if its a quick read or I was just excited to find out whats next but def take a peak!</span><br />

<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Faith ~ </b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Cade Walker is like no man I’ve
ever met before. He’s cynical, brooding, mysterious and, most of all, damaged.
He’s a man who declares he’s broken, and one who detests the two very things I
live for most: God and love. Yet, I’ve still fallen completely in love with him
because I also see the good, something that no one else ever has. I see a man
who is strong, silent, honorable and beautiful. He’s a man who is now scarred
just as badly on the outside of his body as he is on the inside, all because of
me. One who endured severe torture in order to save me from what would be the
worst thing I will ever experience in my entire life. He is a man I call my
dark angel, one who will have my heart until the end of time, even if I <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">can never have his. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Cade ~ </b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">At fifteen years old I lost the
only person that ever mattered to me, and the day I lost my little sister in
the most vile way was the exact moment I stopped living and only existed.
That’s until ten years later, when I walked into an open field in Iraq to hear
the most incredible voice I would ever hear in my life. One that rooted me to
my spot, and ended up belonging to the most beautiful woman in the world. The
only woman to ever make me feel something again, something that I thought was
dead inside of me. And no matter how badly I wanted to keep her, I knew I
couldn’t. Not with what I have lurking inside of me. It’s something I’ve always
kept hidden. That is, until the day I unleashed it on the people who dared to
hurt her. It was the one thing that gave me the strength to save us, but it was
also the one thing that would remind me of why I could never have her. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%;">Now two years later, the one girl I never
thought I would ever see again, the one I have spent my days and nights craving
like an addict, walks back into my life unexpectedly, giving us both the shock
of our lives. And when the time comes that she needs me again, I no longer
resist. Before I know it, I’m pulled into a life I thought I could never have,
one that scares the shit out of me but it’s one I’m realizing I want. There is
just one problem. One very big problem… She lives for the very thing I loathe,
and the one thing that killed my sister… God.</span></div>

The bright morning sun beats down on me, but my body is plagued with too many
emotions to feel any of its warmth. They rush through my veins and crawl up my
throat, trying to suffocate me, as memories from two years ago play through my
head. Good ones, bad ones, they all hit me at once...</span></span></div>

singing to him in the sunset. His hands and mouth exploring my body as I
explored his. A man whose eyes held me captive, and made me feel like the most
beautiful woman in the world, as he moved inside of me, not only claiming my
body but also claiming my heart. The same man who</span><span style="line-height: 150%;">’</span><span style="line-height: 150%;">s shown me the only loving touch I

He’s cynical, brooding, mysterious and, most of all, damaged. He’s a man who declares he’s broken, and one who detests the two very things I live for most: God and love. Yet, I’ve still fallen completely in love with him because I also see the good, something that no one else ever has. I see a man who is strong, silent, honorable and beautiful. He’s a man who is now scarred just as badly on the outside of his body as he is on the inside, all because of me. One who endured severe torture in order to save me from what would be the worst thing I will ever experience in my entire life. He is a man I call my dark angel, one who will have my heart until the end of time, even if I can never have his. </span></i></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i><span style="font-family: inherit;">At fifteen years old I lost the only person that ever mattered to me, and the day I lost my little sister in the most vile way was the exact moment I stopped living and only existed. That’s until ten years later, when I walked into an open field in Iraq to hear the most incredible voice I would ever hear in my life. One that rooted me to my spot, and ended up belonging to the most beautiful woman in the world. The only woman to ever make me feel something again, something that I thought was dead inside of me. And no matter how badly I wanted to keep her, I knew I couldn’t. Not with what I have lurking inside of me. It’s something I’ve always kept hidden. That is, until the day I unleashed it on the people who dared to hurt her. It was the one thing that gave me the strength to save us, but it was also the one thing that would remind me of why I could never have her. </span></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>Now two years later, the one girl I never thought I would ever see again, the one I have spent my days and nights craving like an addict, walks back into my life unexpectedly, giving us both the shock of our lives. And when the time comes that she needs me again, I no longer resist. Before I know it, I’m pulled into a life I thought I could never have, one that scares the shit out of me but it’s one I’m realizing I want. There is just one problem. One very big problem… She lives for the very thing I loathe, and the one thing that killed my sister… God. </i><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Here it is. The most anticipated book of the Men Of Honor Series, the one you have all been waiting for: Cade and Faith’s story. Resisting Temptation is Book Three in the Men Of Honor Series. It is an HEA with no cliffhanger. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">WARNING: This book deals with mature subject matter such as coarse language, sexual situations, and abuse. It is not suitable for anyone under the age of 18. This is the darkest book yet, and is centered around loss, love and finding oneself. Religion plays a very big part in this book - the good and the bad. If this is a subject you are sensitive about then this might not be the book for you.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #222222;">With my vision blurry from tears, I run toward the one place I</span><span style="color: #222222;">’</span><span style="color: #222222;">ve loved going to since
coming here. The bright morning sun beats down on me, but my body is plagued
with too many emotions to feel any of its warmth. They rush through my veins
and crawl up my throat, trying to suffocate me, as memories from two years ago
play through my head. Good ones, bad ones, they all hit me at once...<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #222222;">The unsuspecting smile of a beautiful but dark man, who captured
my attention. The evenings of singing to him in the sunset. His hands and mouth
exploring my body as I explored his. A man whose eyes held me captive, and made
me feel like the most beautiful woman in the world, as he moved inside of me,
not only claiming my body but also claiming my heart. The same man who</span><span style="color: #222222;">’</span><span style="color: #222222;">s shown me the only
loving touch I would know for the next two years, and maybe the rest of my
life. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #222222;">Then come the ugly memories. The ones of rough, unwanted hands
that delivered not only pain to my body, but shame to my soul. Ones that tore
at my clothes, and took what was not offered to them. The sound of a little boy</span><span style="color: #222222;">’</span><span style="color: #222222;">s screams, as he begged
them to stop, while he was forced to watch me be violated in the worst way.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit;">A sob of agony rips from my throat and I push myself harder and
faster. The burn of my legs and lungs still not enough to quiet the evil
running through my head.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

necklace over my beaten and naked body. When I don</span></i><span style="color: #222222;">’</span><i><span style="color: #222222;">t answer him, he sends
another blow to my already battered face.</span></i><span style="color: #222222;">“</span><i><span style="color: #222222;">ANSWER ME!</span></i><span style="color: #222222;">”</span><span style="color: #222222;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

of a little boy</span></i><span style="color: #222222;">’</span><i><span style="color: #222222;">s broken sobs fill the air, and rip through my already tortured
heart.</span></i><span style="color: #222222;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #222222;">Spotting the crystal blue waves in the near distance, I push
myself harder as I race toward the beautiful, deserted beach. As soon as my
feet hit the sand I slow only enough to toe off my running shoes and ankle
socks before rushing into the ice-cold ocean. Once I</span><span style="color: #222222;">’</span><span style="color: #222222;">m far enough out, I dive
in headfirst and let the fresh water steal my breath and cleanse my soul. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

does the trick. The dirty and ugly memories begin to wash away, but instead of
being replaced with beautiful ones of the man who once held my heart, it holds
the one of a man who was severely tortured and beaten... all because of me. The
same man who saved my life then refused to ever see me again. And the worst part

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I love romance books of all
shapes, sizes and genres, so much that I was inspired to write. I've always
loved to write, little poems here and there. Maybe a short story or two but I
was always too scared to show my writing; critics can be tough. Well I finally
put my big girl panties on and self published. I think there is nothing harder
in the world than to create something and put it out for others to build up or
tear down. <o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">My writing is based off what I
like. I would never publish a book I wouldn't read or enjoy myself. I am a very
quirky unique person, there is not enough room for me to get into all my
personalities. Yes I said ties not ty, I have lived in six different states and
too many cities, towns and villages to name. Partially because my mom never
liked to settle and because my soon to be ex-husband was a Marine. He was
deployed twice, Iraq in 2003 when it all went down and Afghanistan a year
later. I don't think I slept the whole time he was gone. I have four wonderful
spoiled brats. My oldest nearly 15 and my youngest just 5. I am of a mixed
heritage. My mother was born and raised in Mexico and my father is second
generation born in the US from Sicily. <o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">My extended family is a little
more than 120 people; at least that was how many was at the reunion a few years
ago. So yes being Italian/Mexican and coming from a big family where you have
to talk over everyone else to be heard; I have an extremely loud mouth and love
big families. I am religious but tend to stay clear of that topic, religion and
politics are two subjects where people are too easily offended. I'm a big
talker and tend to babble. I love talking to everyone and anyone about books so
hit me up anytime.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<br />
When a health scare forces his best friend, Kyle Roberts, off the team, no one can stomach the thought of replacing him, especially so close to the playoffs.
<br />
Until Kyle's sister, Sasha, steps in, convincing management to let her take his place. The idea of signing the first female player in Major League history proves too tempting for the Kings to resist.
<br />
Nevertheless, Brooks doesn't want any part of it. Sasha is Kyle's little sister, not some sideshow.
<br />
Yet when Kyle takes a turn for the worse, Brooks promises to do everything in his power to help Sasha win a championship for him. Because there's no way he's letting either of them down. Not now, not ever.</span></em></blockquote>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Collette West grew up as somewhat of a jock-nerd hybrid. Entering the world three weeks premature, her dad nearly missed her birth because he had seats behind the dugout for a sold-out, highly-anticipated match-up between two of baseball's biggest rivals. Not to be outdone, her book-loving mom taught her how to read by the time she was three. A love of the game coupled with an appreciation for the written word were instilled in Collette's impressionable brain from a young age. No wonder her characters believe in the philosophy: sports + romance = a little slice of heaven.
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Splitting her time between the Pocono Mountains and Manhattan, Collette indulges her inner fangirl by going to as many games as she can from hockey to baseball and downloading every sports romance novel in existence onto her iPad. When she's not clicking away on her laptop, she enjoys walking her dog in Central Park, satisfying her caffeine craving at the Starbucks on Broadway and keeping an eye out for Mr. Right. But above all, she loves dishing with her readers. Email her at <span style="color: blue;">collette_west@yahoo.com</span>.

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Excerpt from Game Changer</span></h1>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><em>“I’ll take care of her, bro.” I put myself out there, waiting for the inevitable backlash. When he doesn’t say anything, I give him a message he’s sure to understand. “I give you my word.”
<br />
Kyle raises his eyes to my face, studying me. He knows that’s the same oath I swore when he asked me not to date his sister, and I’m not someone who goes back on my word. Something Kyle’s well aware of.
<br />
“You two knuckleheads are driving me crazy,” Sasha sighs, resting a hand against the side of her head. “I already told you. I don’t need anyone to look out for me.”
<br />
I bristle a little at her remark, but I do my best not to show it. I thought she’d be glad to spend some time with me. Guess not.
<br />
“Well, it’s not like I have a choice,” I counter, watching her intently. “Since I live next door and all.”
<br />
For a split second, I see a flicker of excitement dance in her eyes, before it’s quickly extinguished. So many mixed signals are crossing between us that I can’t make heads or tails of how she really feels about me after all this time apart. Kyle is screwing up our reunion, big time. Under any other circumstances, I would do everything in my power to win her back, but not when my best friend is waiting for some anonymous donor to save his life. I just can’t do that to him. Not now.
<br />
“Fine. If no one’s going to give me a choice, then let’s blow this popsicle stand,” Sasha declares, walking by me, her arm brushing lightly against my shoulder.
<br />
And I know that having her on the other side of my bedroom wall—and not being able to do a thing about it—is going to be way more challenging than having to hit a homer with the bases loaded</em>.

Fantastical creatures. Epic battles for survival. Staggering betrayal.
Spartanica, the first book in The Survivors of Sapertys Series, is an engaging young-adult/teen science fiction adventure novel that traces the fates of middle-school brothers Ty and Marcus Mitchell after they find themselves abandoned among the apocalyptic ruins of a decimated metropolis on a parallel world.
Wanting nothing more than to survive long enough to get home, the boys soon learn they only have seven days to escape as they find themselves suddenly embroiled in a contentious battle for planet-wide domination against ruthless, animalistic desert warriors called the Desrata.
The brothers soon find they aren't completely alone in their quest as they befriend young survivors of Spartanica's "last day" and come together to forge a unified front against their common foe. But are these kids truly fugitives from the Desrata death camps, or are they hiding something deadly?
Never quite sure exactly who to trust, Ty and Marcus stumble upon ominous realities about Spartanica that they never could have suspected. How could it all be true? How could this have happened? Will they ever get home?
Hold on tight. The truths hidden in and around Spartanica are sinister and shocking. Enjoy the ride!

“Don’t shoot! Don’t shoot!” Nekitys yelled, reaching over to push Yra’s and Kinnard’s rifles down. “It can’t get to us in here. Your blasts will ricochet off the security field and kill us all!”
The ’rat stood motionless, inches away on the other side of the field, staring down at all of us.
“Huuummmaaaaaans,” it said, “I come alone. Nooooo weapon. I escape settlement to help you.”
Needless to say, that wasn’t what we expected to hear.
“Everybody get ready,” Kinnard said. “Nekitys, prepare to drop the field. We’re going to put as many holes as we can through this thing.”
The Atlantean kids all put our uninvited visitor squarely in the cross-hairs.
“Waaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiit,” it said, stepping back with its paw in front of it. “Desrata Kingdom has your female. They kiiiiillllllllll if she not escape soon. I help you get her back. If I die, you fail, she die.”
“No!” Naetth yelled. “You’re a stinkin’ ’rat! You’re a liar! You’re a killer! You would never help us!”
The ’rat backed up several more steps and eased itself down to the ground. Even sitting, it was almost at eye level with me.
“Desrata Kingdom has lost way, become evil,” it said. “Not always so. Our leaders listen to evil humans now. Evil humans promise eternal Elisii if we help take your city. They make us work. They make us slaves. They make us take slaves. These not Desrata ways. These not <em>my</em> ways.” </span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><i>Cade Walker is like no man I’ve ever met before. He’s cynical, brooding, mysterious and, most of all, damaged. He’s a man who declares he’s broken, and one who detests the two very things I live for most: God and love. Yet, I’ve still fallen completely in love with him because I also see the good, something that no one else ever has. I see a man who is strong, silent, honorable and beautiful. He’s a man who is now scarred just as badly on the outside of his body as he is on the inside, all because of me. One who endured severe torture in order to save me from what would be the worst thing I will ever experience in my entire life. He is a man I call my dark angel, one who will have my heart until the end of time, even if I can never have his. </i></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><i>At fifteen years old I lost the only person that ever mattered to me, and the day I lost my little sister in the most vile way was the exact moment I stopped living and only existed. That’s until ten years later, when I walked into an open field in Iraq to hear the most incredible voice I would ever hear in my life. One that rooted me to my spot, and ended up belonging to the most beautiful woman in the world. The only woman to ever make me feel something again, something that I thought was dead inside of me. And no matter how badly I wanted to keep her, I knew I couldn’t. Not with what I have lurking inside of me. It’s something I’ve always kept hidden. That is, until the day I unleashed it on the people who dared to hurt her. It was the one thing that gave me the strength to save us, but it was also the one thing that would remind me of why I could never have her. </i></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><i>Now two years later, the one girl I never thought I would ever see again, the one I have spent my days and nights craving like an addict, walks back into my life unexpectedly, giving us both the shock of our lives. And when the time comes that she needs me again, I no longer resist. Before I know it, I’m pulled into a life I thought I could never have, one that scares the shit out of me but it’s one I’m realizing I want. There is just one problem. One very big problem… She lives for the very thing I loathe, and the one thing that killed my sister… God. </i> </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Here it is. The most anticipated book of the Men Of Honor Series, the one you have all been waiting for: Cade and Faith’s story. Resisting Temptation is Book Three in the Men Of Honor Series. It is an HEA with no cliffhanger. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">WARNING: This book deals with mature subject matter such as coarse language, sexual situations, and abuse. It is not suitable for anyone under the age of 18. This is the darkest book yet, and is centered around loss, love and finding oneself. Religion plays a very big part in this book - the good and the bad. If this is a subject you are sensitive about then this might not be the book for you.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">At the age of forty-four, Blaise Blankenship believes her
own opportunity for romance has long since passed until she accidentally lands
in the lap of a sexy stranger. She and the handsome Latino connect over an
afternoon at a local bookstore, sharing their love of erotica. Blaise is swept
away by an impetuous, hot, "no last names" night together. But the
morning after reveals a truth she can't ignore—or avoid.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">His gaze roamed the stacks. "Interesting place. I enjoy
book shops, but I've never been here before."</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">"It's one of my favorite spots. I love to come and
browse, just sit and read."</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">"I read so much for my job, I've gotten out of the
habit of reading for enjoyment. I miss it." He pulled a book from the
shelf and showed her the spine. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Lady
Chatterley's Lover. </i>"This is one of my favorites."</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Suddenly, it became difficult to breathe. "Yes."
She forced the word through her constricted throat. "That's an amazing
novel."</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Constance Chatterley could only find sexual fulfillment with
gamekeeper Oliver Mellors. This man, whoever he was, would make a perfect
Mellors.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">And she would be Lady Chatterley?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">As he stood holding the D.H. Lawrence volume, Blaise
imagined his large hands stroking her, caressing her body. She quivered, her
panties moistening.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Look away, look away!<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Quickly, she redirected her gaze to his face. His lips
quirked in a little smile. Oh, God, had he guessed where her thoughts had
wandered? "Umm, I take the bus all the time, but I don't think I've ever
seen you before."</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">He nodded. "I usually drive to work and back, but my
car's in the shop and I couldn't catch a ride with anyone, so…" He
extended his hand. "I'm Guy, by the way."</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">"Hi, I'm Blaise." When they shook hands, she again
flashed to the image of him touching her in more intimate ways.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">He replaced <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Lady
Chatterley</i> on the shelf. "I didn't mean to interrupt your
reading." He nodded at her book. "<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Cupid's
Delight</i>. I'm not familiar with that one. Any good?"</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Blood rushed to her cheeks. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Oh Blaise, don't be a baby</i>. She cleared her throat, flustered by
the feelings this man brought out in her. "Too early to tell. I haven't
started it."</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">"It sounds intriguing, doesn't it?" His gaze held
hers and excitement fizzed through her.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">She swallowed hard and nodded. "I think so, too." </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">With a tilt of his head, Guy indicated the red velvet
loveseat wedged into the corner. "Maybe we could sit, read it
together."</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Her breath hitched, and her heart thumped so hard she'd have
been surprised if he couldn't see her blouse flutter. Had this man actually
asked to read erotica with her? Yes.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">And was she going to agree? <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Yes!<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>

Read to Me is a great short read. A topic not many books in the romance genre touch Read to Me was a great change from your everyday romance.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Blaise is an older women who lands in Guys lap one day on her bus and takes that opportunity to bring a fire back to her life.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The story does start slow and being a short read i felt a lot of the focus was on the build up. As the story began to build i was already at 82% which made the ending feel rushed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One of my favorite things was the co-reading of a romance novel. I read so often and i can only image how SIZZLING HOT it is to read with a romantic date.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Great short read, great characters, great storyline and some fire work love scenes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I would not only recommend Read to Me ill more than likely re-read it and try some of Ms. Raines other books!</div>

Raines became hooked on romances when she first picked up "The Flame and
the Flower" by Kathleen Woodiwiss (and she's not telling how long ago that
was). Romances may have changed since then, but her love for a good love story
has not. She's been writing off and on for years, but it was only when she
joined the Central New York Romance Writers Association that she finally gained
the support and confidence she needed to complete a manuscript. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Groom, a debut romantic comedy novel by Cindy Flores Martinez, was inspired by
the author’s own Polish ancestry and is based on her screenplay and movie
project of the same title, which she shopped around Hollywood, New York, and
other parts of the world.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14.25pt;">
<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">A
sweet romance about an American woman who marries a stranger from Poland after
her fiancé leaves her right before the wedding.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14.25pt;">
<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Lisa
is about to marry her first real love and have the wedding of her dreams, but
her world is shattered when she finds her fiancé, Jeff, in the arms of another
woman. When he calls the wedding off, Lisa is heartbroken.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14.25pt;">
<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">In
a twist of fate, she meets Krzysztof Zielinski from Poland on
Mail-Order-Grooms.Com. He needs to marry an American woman so that he can stay
in America, and he’s willing to pay money for it. His reason for needing to
stay is what tugs at Lisa’s heart and convinces her to say “I do” to him. After
all, it’s going to be strictly a business deal. She won’t even have to live
with him, and marrying another man would be the perfect revenge on Jeff.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14.25pt;">
<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Lisa
races to the altar with her stand-in groom, but she soon learns that she
actually does have to live with him. Things become even more complicated when
she finds herself falling for him, and he’s not planning to stay in America
forever. Will Lisa’s heart break all over again or will she find love and
happiness in the end?</span></span></div>

I fumbled with my bouquet. “Thank you.” They hadn’t seen my
dress before except in a blurry picture that I had sent them on the day I
bought it. I had wanted it to be a surprise to everyone. “You both look good
too.” I admired them from head to toe.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Mom’s eyes grew misty. “I mean it, honey. I don’t think I
have ever seen you look as beautiful as you do right now.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dad nodded, unable to speak.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Why did they have to pick that moment of all moments to be
such wonderful parents?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“So, what’s going on?” asked Mom. “What did you mean when
you said you weren’t going to marry Jeff? You were only kidding, right?” The
worry lines on her forehead rivaled the worry in her voice.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dad shot a confused glance toward the empty seats in the
sanctuary. “Where are all of his guests?”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Chloe squished her thick eyebrows together. “You’re not
going to marry Jeff?”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Zoey spotted Krzys waiting where Jeff was supposed to be.
“Who is that man in there?”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I took a deep breath and mustered courage. Even though I had
already told Mom and Dad what I was about to say over the phone, saying it face
to face seemed so much more difficult. “Mom, Dad,” my heart started beating
faster, “it’s like I told you before, I’m not going to marry Jeff today. I’m
going to marry a man named Krzysztof Zielinski instead.”</div>

Hooked from the synopsis i was really curious at what Mail Order Groom was going to bring to the table. An interesting story with some unexpected twist and terns. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Mail Order Groom was able to entertain me with the story live and def falls within the romanic of the romantic comedy theme.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Overall a good book thats worth reading. Curious to see what else the author has written.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The obvious barriers between the couple proved to be realistic and came across in the novel just was unable to truly enjoy every portion.</div>

<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">My
name is Cindy Flores Martinez. I was born and raised in a suburb of Los
Angeles. I have an MFA in Creative Writing with an emphasis in Screenwriting. I
have been a screenwriting instructor, screenplay consultant, script reader, and
screenplay collaborator. My debut novel, Mail-Order Groom, which was inspired
by my own Polish ancestry, started out as a screenplay and movie project.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14.25pt;">
<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I
spent years shopping it around Hollywood, New York, and other parts of the
world and had two well-known actors, one of them Academy Award nominated,
interested in portraying the lead character’s parents. After not finding the
success I wanted, I officially canceled my film production company in November
of 2009 and embarked on the journey of turning my screenplay into a novel.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 150%;">I’m browsing through emails on my phone as I ride the elevator down to the lobby. It halts on the third floor, and I back up to let more people on. I don’t lift my head up as the elevator starts again, but suddenly I’m hit with the sound of laughter.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 150%;">It’s innocent, young, and vibrant. I’m intrigued, so I shift my body to get a better view of her. My eyes find the young girl in the front by the doors. I watch her from the side and notice she’s on her phone. She’s smiling wide and laughing with whomever she’s speaking to on the phone. The doors slide open, and I walk around a few people to exit, except the girl doesn’t move and I crash right into the back of her, pushing us both out of the elevator before the doors close. Instinctively, I wrap my free arm around her waist to catch her from face planting the floor. Her back is pressed against my chest and for a moment, I don’t want to let go.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 150%;">Her phone isn’t as lucky. It slips out of her hand and lands on the lobby floor.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 150%;">“Shit,” she curses and my arm frees her to bend down and grab it off the floor. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 150%;">“I’m so sorry,” I begin apologizing as I step back. My eyes wonder to her bare legs and up her tone thighs to a pair of black workout shorts. She’s wearing a baggy sweatshirt as if she’d been running or working out. I can smell the fresh sweat on her, but it doesn’t turn me off. In fact, it does the exact opposite.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 150%;">“That’s okay.” Her voice cracks as she turns around, and I finally get a good look at her. “Oh, Mr. Leighton,” she says surprised, and I immediately curse the bad luck that brings me to my new intern—</span><span style="line-height: 150%;">Casey West.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 150%;">“Miss West?” I finally say as she stares up at me in silence. “I thought you weren’t coming until <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1423800791" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">Saturday</span></span>?” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 150%;">“Hide your disappointment, Mr. Leighton.” The corners of her mouth perk up into a cocky smile. “I was just picking up the paperwork and doing all the background check questions.” Her witty personality is spot on just like the last time.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 150%;">Everyone that works or interns at Leighton Enterprises goes through an extensive background check for security reasons. All of the files are confidential, and only journalists reporting on the stories can know the exclusive information.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 150%;">“Ah, yes. Of course, the paperwork.” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 150%;">Paul failed to mention she’d be here </span><span style="line-height: 150%;">today</span><span style="line-height: 150%;">…</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 150%;">She continues eyeing me, and I wonder if she feels the electricity between us as much as I do.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 150%;">“Well, I’ll see you <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1423800792" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">Saturday</span></span>, Mr. Leighton,” she says as she is seductively smiling up at me. She quickly turns around and begins walking toward the lobby doors.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">A SWEET LIFE<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";"> I
have no memories of my paternal grandmother. My best guess is that I was barely four years old when she
died. But, I like to think I inherited
my love of knitting from her. My
older cousins tell the story of sitting in a semi-circle in front of her
rocking chair and watching her crochet.
Her fingers moved at a frantic speed as she rocked back and forth. The amazing part is that she was sound
asleep and snoring! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";"> My
father, who was the youngest boy, was basically raised by his oldest sister, my
aunt Betty, because my grandmother was diabetic. She was often tired and sickly, spending the majority of her
time in bed. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";"> Another
memory my cousins have shared with me is of our grandmother boiling her hypodermic
needles because she was insulin dependent. My father and three of my uncles were also diabetic and, by
the end of their lives, insulin-dependent as well. And now several of my cousins are affected by the disease. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";"> Like
my cousins, for the last twenty-five years I've been a Type 2 diet-controlled
diabetic.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";"> Diabetes
is a life-changing disease. It's
estimated that 25.8 million children and adults in the United States are
diabetic. That's 8.3% of the
population. My guess is that we
all know someone who is diabetic.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";"> When
Brenda Novak's youngest son, Thad, was diagnosed, she went on a one-woman
mission to do whatever was necessary to fund research for a cure to this
horrible disease. If you've ever
met Brenda you know she is passionate about making a difference. This is her tenth year holding an
auction to raise money for this cause and to date her efforts have resulted in more
than $2 million dollars toward research for a cure. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";"> The
book you've purchased will go toward making the dream of a world free of
diabetes a reality. Each one of the
authors on this long list of contributors has given of their talent and
themselves to aid in this mission.
You're about to read some of the biggest names in the field of
romance. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";"> Three
of these talented authors, Susan Wiggs, Barbara Freethy and Rachel Van Dyken,
have scored #1 placements on the New York Times best seller lists. Now that's impressive. The remaining eleven are all well
established authors with booming careers.
In other words, you are in for a real treat.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";"> And
really, isn't this the best of all worlds? Not only is this an enjoyable read but at the same time your
purchase is contributing to a worthy cause. You can't ask for a better win/win situation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";"> It's
been my honor to write the forward.
Keep at it, Brenda. Not
only are you one amazing author, you're a woman with passion and heart. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";"> Now
enjoy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";"> With
warmest wishes,<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Yourself, Katie Kat<br />
<br />
Katie Archer knows how to lie. After six years, no one really knows what
happened That Night. Not even her twin sister. Choosing a college 3,000 miles
away from the truth, Katie throws herself into art classes and a love affair
with ice cream. Katie’s biggest rule? No boys. Ever.<br />
<br />
But there is the little problem of Lucas Matthews. Former basketball star and
total campus hottie, Lucas is the stuff girls have naughty dreams about—and he
has the reputation to prove it! But that doesn’t stop liquid heat from running
through Katie’s veins every time she sees him…<br />
<br />
You’ll Never Get Away With It<br />
<br />
Letting Lucas in is the hardest thing Katie’s ever had to do. And telling him
the truth? Impossible. Then Katie starts to get threatening texts and she
realizes Lucas is the least of her problems. Her past has caught up with her
and it wants to settle the score.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I’m Coming For You</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
<br />
Now Katie must decide whether she wants to fight for her life, or leave
everything—including Lucas—behind her forever...<o:p></o:p></span><br />

When i sat down to read Put Me Back Together, i expected your typical YA book but having read some of Lola Rooney previous books i knew the best option would be my own.<br />
The dynamics of Put Me Back Together start off like the general girl meets bad boy but once the new dimension of the book happens it takes on a new life of its own. Katie grows throughout the book, though the psycho stalkers obsession is scary and makes me now look over my should a little more its unfortunately more common than not. Disturbing but real, i love books that give you a dimension of whats a typical reaction.<br />
Enjoyed the dynamics of the heroine Katie and the realness of holding the ruff truth in for years.<br />
Good book would recommend to check this out!<br />
<br />
I give Put Me Back Together<br />

dimples). <br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Mags McManus is far from a normal woman in her mid twenties. Being a war widow, a business professional, and a brokenhearted train wreck only skims the surface of the layers of who Margret McManus truly is. Waking up in a hospital bed, alone and confused, Mags once again has to pick up the pieces of her shattered heart. With her best friends by her side, Mags slowly starts to learn the answers she so desperately longs for. But is everything going to continue to spiral out of control? Or is there a light at the end of this dark, twisting tunnel where all the broken pieces can finally fall back together?</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: inherit; line-height: 20px;">I took fistfuls of his black, long-sleeved, cotton shirt, pulling him as close as I could get him. I wrapped my legs around his waist and began to kiss as passionately and roughly as I ever had. I was hungry to taste him again, to feel him again, to simply love him again.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #222222; line-height: 19.5px; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: inherit; line-height: 20px;">Right then, everything melted away—the fact that we were in the middle of nowhere in a gas station, that I was supposed to hate his guts, that he had a Hyde side of him that was evil and tortured. In that moment, we were simply us—desperately and madly us.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #222222; line-height: 19.5px; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: inherit; line-height: 20px;">Walker slowly shoved my jacket from my shoulders and tossed it on the metal chair next to us. Panting and gripping the hem of my shirt, he pulled away to look in my eyes. “Mags? Are you sure about this.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #222222; line-height: 19.5px; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: inherit; line-height: 20px;">I kissed him softly on the cheek. “Let’s just not think for little. Please.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<div>
<div style="color: #222222; line-height: 19.5px;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: inherit; line-height: 20px;">He nodded and pulled my hips hard into his, letting me feel how ready his body was for me. I pulled his shirt up over his head, revealing all the gorgeous artwork that covered his chest, shoulders, and arms. I traced my finger tips from the start of his wrist, following the flow of the inked lines until my fingers were stroking his rigid abs just over his belt buckle. Walker’s breathing was heavy as he watched me take in the manly beauty before me. Slowly, I started to kiss from his collarbone to his jaw, finally finding his soft, desperate lips.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Hi! Thanks for dropping in...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">You want to know more about me? Well, let's see...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I am just an average twenty-something following my dreams. I have a full time "day job" and by night I am author. I guess you could say that writing is like my super power (I always wanted one of those). I am the lover of wine, sushi, football and the ocean; that is when I am not wrapped up in the literary world. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Please feel free to <a href="http://www.kristenhopemazzola.com/contact.html">contact</a> me to chat about my writing, books you think I'd like or just to shoot the, well you know.</span></div>

<b style="font-size: 37.272727966308594px; line-height: 42.93333053588867px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Chapter #1</span></b></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Do you ever think to yourself that something’s gotta
give?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I’m a successful business man, but my love life is the worst it has ever
been. I’m dating this chick who I have nothing in common with, and every time I
try to end things, she sneaks her way back in, and we have lousy make-up
sex.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I’m pretty sure she’s bipolar and hasn’t been diagnosed, yet. One minute
we’re watching some drama reality show—not my choice—and the next, she’s
accusing me of cheating on her. It’s like a broken record, and I’m tired of
hearing it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“Baby, where are we having dinner tonight?” Christy, my soon-to-be ex-again,
asked.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“Can’t. Have to work—late.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I’ve resorted to short, incomplete sentences with her. No matter what I’ve
said, she’s turned it around and tried to get me to do whatever she wanted. I
could probably speak Japanese and she would pretend I said that I wanted to
marry her instead of break up with her. I needed a plan to get her out of my
life forever—and fast!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“You always have to work late now. I thought you wanted to spend more time
with me?” Christy pouted, sticking out her bottom lip.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Spend more time with her? What the fuck? Hell no! I was lucky I’d never given
her a key or she would be over at my place every night. She was only at my place
now because I was horny as fuck and gave in to her temptation—again. I would
always give into her because work was stressful, and I needed the release.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“Jason and I are busy. We’re trying to open the new gym, you know that.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">That was just an excuse. Yes, Jason and I were opening a new gym, but most of
our business dealings were during normal business hours, and if I saw an email
after hours, then I answered it on my phone or from home. I could usually get
out of work by six at night, but I was just trying to get away from Christy and
I didn’t know how else to do it. I didn’t want to move. I loved my condo, but
moving might be the only option.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I didn’t like her anymore. She wasn’t really my type. I’ve always had a thing
for brunettes, and Christy was blonde and so fucking high maintenance, I wanted
to shoot myself. I loved the outdoors, sports, poker—Christy hated them all.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“Fine, I’ll come over tonight when you get home.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“Christy, please. I need a night alone.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“What the fuck, Brandon? Why are you being an asshole?”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“I’m not being an asshole. I just need some space.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“Are you breaking up with me? Are you cheating on me?”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The first time Christy asked if I was breaking up with her, I made the
mistake of saying “yes”. I’m not going to make that mistake again. Her nails
hurt!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“I’m not cheating on you. I just need a night alone. Go hang out with your
friends. You know Mondays are busy for me.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“Fine, but I want you all to myself this weekend since you’re going to Vegas
next weekend,” she said, coming up to give me a kiss.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Every ounce of me tried not to shudder under her touch. What was I doing? I
couldn’t stand to be touched by her, but at night I gave in to her come-ons?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I was certain God was looking out for me when I asked Christy if she wanted
to go to Vegas with us for my buddy’s birthday party a few weeks back. Christy
only wanted to come if we were going clubbing. I told her we were playing poker;
she turned her nose up and pouted for hours, and then accused me of cheating on
her—in the future. That should have been my sign to get the fuck out, but I
don’t listen sometimes. Christy has been nothing but trouble for me.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I didn’t respond to her about coming over for the weekend. I wasn’t going to
make any promises. I needed to talk to Becca, one of my best friends, and ask
her how I was going to get rid of Christy—for good.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">*~*~*</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“What’s wrong with you?” Jason, my best friend, asked as he leaned into my
office.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“Christy…” I groaned.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“I thought you were dumping her?”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“I tried—again.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Jason sat in the chair in front of my desk. We had been friends since
college. He met his wife, Becca, at Texas A&M where we all attended, and the
three of us had been friends ever since. We were business partners now; I was
the Best Man at their wedding and lived with them when we first moved to San
Francisco.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">They’ve been through all my ups and downs, especially in college when some
asshole started a fight with me and Jason and broke my back because our football
coach named me starting quarterback and not him. Jason and Becca were more than
friends—they were like my brother and sister.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“What happened this time?” Jason asked, crossing his arms over his chest.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“When I told her that I was done, she cried and wouldn’t leave my place.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“Dump her at her place.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“I tried,” I said, burying my head in my hands. “She just follows me home and
then begs and begs—promising all these sexual acts that she ends up not
doing.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Jason busted out laughing. “Oh man, that’s good!”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“Fuck you!” I said, throwing my pen at him.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“What’s so funny in here?” Becca asked, walking into my office.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“Brandon can’t get rid of Christy,” Jason told his wife.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I gave Becca a brief rundown of my obsessed <em>girlfriend</em> while she and
Jason laughed at me. It kinda sucks being single sometimes. I’ve always wished I
had what they had, but I haven’t been so lucky. I was close once, but then found
out the girl cheated on me one drunken night, and since then I’ve guarded my
heart.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I’ve only been dating Christy a few months. I don’t love her. Never have. I’m
not even sure what attracted me to her. She’s not my type. I want a girl that is
down to earth, loves sports, doesn’t care if I go mountain biking with Jason
every weekend and wants me for me and not for my money or a free gym
membership.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">You would think that I have women fawning all over me. I’m so busy with work,
that I haven’t had time to go out and meet anyone new. It was easy for me to
call Christy, get off like I needed, but it has come to the point where she made
my skin crawl.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I met her at a bar one night. Maybe it was the way she rubbed her ass on my
dick that made me want to fuck her that night—yep, that was it—but since then, I
haven’t gotten rid of her.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“Maybe it’s time to get a restraining order?” Becca asked.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“Or move back to Austin,” Jason said.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“I’m not moving back to Texas. I like it here. Plus, the Giants are way
better than the Astros.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“But they have our Cowboys,” Jason said while Becca was looking at her
phone.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“You want me to run our Austin gym again?” I asked.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We currently have four gyms. One in Austin, one in Houston, one in Denver and
the one here in San Francisco. In January, we hope to open a new one in Seattle.
The current property is in foreclosure, and our real estate guy, Paul, was
working his magic to get us a good deal. Everything is included in the sale
since it’s currently a gym, so we won’t have to spend a lot of time setting
everything up. We will just need to add our signature touches like a spa, beach
volleyball and basketball courts, with our operating hours extending to be
twenty-four hours a day.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“You’re not going back to Texas,” Becca said. “This is what you do. You tell
your door guy to not let her in…”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“Done that,” I said, cutting her off. “But somehow she gets in.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“You tell them that if they see her on the property, then to call the cops.
You tell Christy that, too. Tell her if she shows up again, the cops will be
called and you’ll be getting a restraining order.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“That’s so harsh,” I said.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“It’s either that or her sleeping in front of your door every night.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“Why do I always have to find the crazies?”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“Your luck will change, B. You just need to get Christy out of the picture
and let that special someone into your life,” Becca said, patting my shoulder to
comfort me.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">*~*~*</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Christy: <em>What time are you getting off?</em></span><br />
<em><span style="font-family: inherit;">Jesus, fucking Christ! Didn’t we have this conversation this morning? I’m
not answering her.</span></em><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">And I didn’t.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">She texted again.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Christy: <em>I miss you already. I can’t go a night without you.</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I groaned, throwing my phone on my desk and continued working.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Christy: <em>Why aren’t you answering me? You better not be cheating on me.
I’ll hunt that bitch down!</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I decided to text her back. My luck, she
would show up at the gym and cause a big scene. Couldn’t have our clients seeing
that shit.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Me: <em>I’m not cheating on you. I’m at work. BUSY!</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Christy: <em>I’ll be at your place tonight at 10.</em></span><br />
<em><span style="font-family: inherit;">Why do I seriously find the clingiest women in the world? Fucking
hell!</span></em><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Me: <em>Might not be home.</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Christy: <em>I’ll come by the gym.</em></span><br />
<em><span style="font-family: inherit;">No!</span></em><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Me: <em>Might not be at the gym, either.</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Christy: <em>So you ARE cheating on me?</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Me: <em>Christy, I have friends…not just you. And no, for the last time, I’m
not cheating on you. I have a meeting.</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">*~*~*</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I didn’t hear back from Christy. I already knew that she would be at my place
when I got home. I needed to be a fucking man and just break up with her for
good. I needed to listen to my head and my heart—not my dick.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">At five-thirty, Jason stuck his head in my office. “Going home.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“I’m doing it. Breaking up with Christy for good tonight.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“Right…” Jason said with a laugh.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“How is it out there? I think I need to burn off some pent-up energy so I
don’t agree to let her suck my dick.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Being a fairly new gym in the area, Jason and I created two-week trial
passes. We expected a lot of the after work crowd to show—and they had been for
the last few weeks. Each Monday seemed to bring out more people trying to start
their week off right.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“Fairly busy, but not full.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We stepped out of my office that overlooked the floor. I scanned the area,
seeing people taking advantage of our smoothie bar, standing in line for
racquetball and enjoying our equipment and weights.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“Nice. I’m going to work out.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Usually we don’t work out when it’s busy, but I needed to really get my head
screwed on straight. A good run always cleared my head.</span><br />
<em><span style="font-family: inherit;">Running, not sex Brandon!</span></em><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">As I continued to look over the floor, my eyes drifted to the treadmills to
see if any were open. That was when I saw <em>her</em>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“Have you seen her before?” I asked Jason.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“Who?”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“Her.” I pointed to the brunette I’d never seen before, running on the
treadmill.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“No, never seen her before. Why?”</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“Because—I’m going to marry her,” I said, walking away and not waiting for
him to respond.</span><br />

His philosophy is: the more the merrier, with no strings attached. But all that changes the day he rolls into Sunset Bay, where he meets a sweet, sexy blonde with sad amber eyes, who smells like cupcakes and bakes the most delicious pies.

Though she has impeccable writing skills, there's no denying that a lifetime of being the good girl has left her ill prepared for this position. Realizing it's her lack of experience that will keep her from achieving this dream, she decides to proposition the bad boy who once lived in her college dorm that always had a stream of women doing the walk of shame from his room on a nearly nightly basis. Surely someone that shallow, that experienced, and that wildly attractive could teach her a thing or twenty. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; text-align: start;">Only Wyatt has his own plans, and they don't allow much time for teaching Willow what she would already know if she could just break free of the cool, calculating, proper demeanor that was part of being a Stone. His reputation has served him well through the years and being the black sheep of his family has never bothered him. What does bother him, however, is Willow. She is a mystery to unravel, a present to be cherished, a young woman who just might rock his world by bringing him back into his family's fold. She was everything they wanted for him and precisely what he had avoided since he started dating. </span></div>

Great cute story, i love how Willow battles the image she's always had vs the thoughts going thru her head. Fun loving story that takes a different route into the romance world. Believable characters and great development of each character throughout the book. Wyatts a kind heart wrapped in a bad boy image, i love their chemistry and dynamic. Beginning was not to slow and not to fast but a great speed throughout the whole book. I love the list and how realistic Willow's number compares to it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Great book and i would more than likely re-read. So i recommend The Good Girl.</div>

Currently residing in Texas, she loves spending time with her fur-baby, Roxy…and sometimes her kids (when they behave). She enjoyed writing poems as a teenager, but didn’t become an avid reader until…Twilight. She became obsessed and her passion for reading led to stories and characters nagging at her. Then a friend suggested she write it out and now is releasing her debut novel.</span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 18.399999618530273px;"><br /></span></span></span></div>

I was given
everything but. ~Victoria</span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="font-family: inherit;">All I wanted was to know where we stood. But, Victoria is
an expert at evasiveness. ~Blaze</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Have you read in the papers lately about all of those
politicians being caught with high class hookers? I’ve slept with most of those
men. You can also believe that if I was still in the business, they would have
never been caught with me. No matter what you do in life, professionalism is
key.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Working as a high class hooker, then a bartender at the best
strip club in NYC, I had been making good money for years.<br />
That was until the night I got the call…<br />
The call that flipped my life upside down…<br />
My best friend and her husband died in a car accident, leaving me the caretaker
of their eight-year-old daughter. My life needed to change fast. I managed to
secure a position at Townsend Realty Company. My attraction to Mr. Townsend,
one of the wealthiest men in America and step-brother to the infamous Hurley
family, was instantaneous and overwhelming. But, after five years of nothing
but professionalism, I’m convinced he wants nothing to do with me romantically.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I have worked for this man for five years, managing every
facet of his life. I’ve been in love with him for five years. When money tightens,
I find myself in a tight spot. Then Mr. Townsend makes me an offer that I can’t
refuse. Be with him and only him for two grand a week in cash. It’s an offer I
can’t and don’t want to refuse.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">But what happens when the money is no longer enough? What happens
when I want the man as more than a client? What line won’t you cross?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Even ex-hookers draw the line somewhere.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Whoa, as a huge fan of reading when looking to purchase a book the pros and cons for me include price and pages. If you just read the "</span>back of the book" you will be doing yourself a disservice. Office Perks is one of those books you can not judge by its cover or the brief experts posted. Office Perks is a book you need to open to page one and jump in. The storyline at first seemed generic yet as you divulge into the novel it opens you up to the complicated and emotional like of Victoria. A street smart women who from a young age learns what assets to use that can get her ahead. Victoria takes not only her childhood but adult experience to help raise Kendell, changing both their lives. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Five years as the personal assistant to Mr. Townsend, situations change.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love Victoria, Sunshine, Dre and Blaze, their characters are well written and diverse giving you such complex yet simple views into each of their worlds and mindset.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Office Perks flows well and every word seems to have a purpose within the story. There are some hot scenes, some heartbreaking ones and ones that make you shout for joy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As a reader and now a fan you get your moneys work with Office Perks and i will recommend to anyone. </div>
