I'm addicted to coffee, sci-fi, and all things Marvel and Harry Potter.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I was a teen mom with a whole world of statistics against me.

We have a house full of teenagers who don't need mommy anymore, and the hubs is a traveling ER nurse, SO I have found myself with a lot of downtime.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">After years of having this story taking space in my head, I decided to share it with the world.

During the interview, the all-male interviewers wring out of her a promise that she will not get involved in a romance while employed with them. Not a big issue since Sloane hasn’t been dating since she broke off from Zane months ago after he cheated on her. She soon learns that she is a finalist candidate and must create a new game and send it to her potential employer. She can do it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Meanwhile, to get her mind off missing her ex, Sloane heads to a bar with her best friend where she is challenged to kiss a stranger to show she is over her ex. She chooses a guy at the bar and convinces him to kiss her. Later that night, banging on the door awakens her. The smoke alarm is going off due to a fire in the apartment complex. The person at the door is the hot guy from the bar—whom she now recognizes as her neighbor. The fire is dealt with and Sloane and her neighbor—Charlie—chit-chat a little. He suddenly asks her to go with him to Turks and Caicos Island for several days as he already paid for the resort stay. He needs Sloane to pretend to be his new girlfriend so that he can make his ex-girlfriend jealous. He convinces her that she can work on her employment project while there. Sloane agrees, because who wouldn’t want an all-expenses paid trip to an island resort? </p><p><br /></p><p>It turns into an adventure Sloane never expected in the hilariously funny IN A NOT SO PERFECT WORLD. She has been trying to prove herself apart from her overprotective family as she loves working on video games. But with her bank account funds dwindling, her last hope before she throws in the towel is getting the job at the video game company. Okay, the men interviewing her asked questions they probably shouldn’t have, such as asking if she planned to have children, but she is desperate. Things get even more interesting when Sloane learns that her ex, Zane, is also up for the position. The stakes suddenly got higher. Charlie and Sloane head to the Caribbean and check into their room. Unfortunately, there is only one bedroom, but he agrees to sleep on the sofa. Charlie is a nice guy; someone Sloane might date under normal circumstances. But he is trying to make his ex jealous, which means he is off limits. </p><p><br /></p><p>IN A NOT SO PERFECT WORLD is an enjoyable read and readers will relate to Sloane’s problems. Her parents think she should do something stable, not work in video games, which is notoriously a man’s world. She is also still pining for Zane even though he has moved on to the woman he cheated with. Will Sloane get the job she wants and still remain friends with Charlie? Or will something happen between them that leads to awkwardness? Charlie’s goal is to make his ex-girlfriend jealous. Will that work? To give a hint…somewhere along the line, they kind of forget what—or who—were the reasons for pretending they were dating each other. </p><p><br /></p><p>If you love a romance where the two lead characters are fun and the laughter flows easily, then don’t miss IN A NOT SO PERFECT WORLD.</p><p><br /></p><p>Patti Fischer</p><p><br /></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35532892.post-59218816905942569002024-03-16T00:00:00.000-07:002024-03-16T00:00:00.327-07:00Review: STUDIES AT THE SCHOOL BY THE SEA by Jenny Colgan<p>STUDIES AT THE SCHOOL BY THE SEA - Jenny Colgan</p><p><i>School by the Sea #4</i></p><p>Avon</p><p>ISBN: 9780063359703</p><p>ISBN10: 0063359707</p><p>March 2024</p><p>Fiction</p><p><br /></p><p>Cornwall, England - Present Day</p><p><br /></p><p>Maggie Adair is back at Downey House in Cornwall after her summer break at home in Scotland. Not only is she preparing her curriculum for her literature class, but she's hoping to re-establish her relationship with David, who is back to teaching at the inner city school. Maggie and David's plans for a summer trip together came crashing down when Maggie received bad news from home, forcing her to return, instead, to Scotland. David proceeded with the trip, and Maggie was hoping that nothing had changed in how close they'd become before the break.</p><p><br /></p><p>Maggie's favorite students at the all girls school have also returned, some happier than others. Scholarship student Simone, bright, but unsure of how she fits in at the posh school, and her boyfriend, Ash, are still in love, but how will she do in her final exams? Felicity, aka Fliss, lives in the shadow of her older sister, and has parents who don't know how to deal with her. Alice flounces through life as the lovely rich kid who couldn't care less about school, and Isme, another scholarship student who, like Simone, struggles with her future, but has a distinct need to improve her life, and others in her situation. </p><p><br /></p><p>David and Maggie fall back into a routine, even though she has to maintain her room at Downey House, and he is constantly working on keeping his students in line. Maggie is at odds with how difficult it is to share David with his students, and to wonder inwardly if she's really just the inner city girl from Glasgow and is in over her head. She loves being a teacher, she loves Downey House, and she's pretty sure she loves David. </p><p><br /></p><p>STUDIES AT THE SCHOOL BY THE SEA is book four in this delightful series by Jenny Colgan. Set in the windswept moors of seaside Cornwall, readers are drawn into the lives of adults and teens with various backgrounds and needs. Maggie is from a working class family who are perplexed by her leaving home to teach, and David is the odd-man out of a military family. Both want what is best for their students, and how they work that out is paramount to this story. But how will that affect their relationship?</p><p><br /></p><p>Readers of Jenny Colgan will thoroughly enjoy this sweet, thoughtful story and its myriad of delightful characters. Don't miss STUDIES AT THE SCHOOL BY THE SEA.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jani Brooks</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35532892.post-30120749985524151292024-03-15T04:00:00.000-07:002024-03-15T04:00:00.156-07:00Cover Reveal: Take Two by Evelyn Sola<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiITcSYeXT33U9suCNp3UMhCFLeI_D2vfloEvXU96sPALZRungIg-lpPiQXO9zs7ATc94s1m9O8MuiABi-r9__EAEbS24Kv70PYCRl_C5ewKCJSlcS55EStxcFsfSGuZ4z5BRETJ9jOFQyf5VkmQ_hwO2B_qIO_Y9baqckgwrxdCkmSTuP1T-Ix/s820/Cover%20-%20Take%20Two.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="312" data-original-width="820" height="245" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiITcSYeXT33U9suCNp3UMhCFLeI_D2vfloEvXU96sPALZRungIg-lpPiQXO9zs7ATc94s1m9O8MuiABi-r9__EAEbS24Kv70PYCRl_C5ewKCJSlcS55EStxcFsfSGuZ4z5BRETJ9jOFQyf5VkmQ_hwO2B_qIO_Y9baqckgwrxdCkmSTuP1T-Ix/w640-h245/Cover%20-%20Take%20Two.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p></p> <div><br /></div><div><span style="font-weight: 400;">Join us for the cover reveal of Take Two by Evelyn Sola.

<div style="border: 9px groove rgb(253, 244, 134); height: 400px; overflow: auto; width: 98%;">
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: Roboto;">“Don’t kill today. Just get through the rest of the day. Find other ways to silence your demons. Get through the night and see me in the morning. Don’t run from your demons, speak them into existence. It’s the only way to vanquish them once and for all.”</span><br style="font-family: Roboto;" /><br style="font-family: Roboto;" /><span style="font-family: Roboto;">“I just need to last the night,” I repeat. It sounds insane…but maybe that’s good since my sanity is probably highly in question to begin with. Maybe I need to go against what feels natural for once.</span><br style="font-family: Roboto;" /><br style="font-family: Roboto;" /><span style="font-family: Roboto;">“That’s all, just last the night.”</span><br style="font-family: Roboto;" /><br style="font-family: Roboto;" /><span style="font-family: Roboto;">“Do you know how many times I’ve prayed to be delivered from this evil? It hasn’t worked before.”</span><br style="font-family: Roboto;" /><br style="font-family: Roboto;" /><span style="font-family: Roboto;">“You can pray for deliverance, and God may send you a boat…but you’ve still got to paddle it.”</span><br style="font-family: Roboto;" /><br style="font-family: Roboto;" /><span style="font-family: Roboto;">I hate when he makes a rational point, and he interprets my silence correctly.</span><br style="font-family: Roboto;" /><br style="font-family: Roboto;" /><span style="font-family: Roboto;">“You are faithful and come every day. If you put that kind of dedication into not killing, I know you could do it.”</span><br style="font-family: Roboto;" /><br style="font-family: Roboto;" /><span style="font-family: Roboto;">He isn’t wrong, so that would mean I’m just weak…I hate feeling weak, so I do what I always do, and I steal the power back.</span><br style="font-family: Roboto;" /><br style="font-family: Roboto;" /><span style="font-family: Roboto;">“That’s the difference between you and me, Father. You believe in redemption. You look at me and see a sinner who can change their ways.” Even though he can’t see me, I allow a slow, sinister smile to emerge. “I look at you, and all I see is your carotid artery, and wonder how far the blood would spray if I cut it.” I drop my voice an octave, making sure the ice resonates behind my words. “Don’t mistake faith for purity, Father.”</span></span></div>

As a successful celebrity stylist, she travels all over the world, living out her dreams. Professionally, she’s thriving, but her personal life is in shambles. After surviving a very public breakup with her ex-fiancé six months ago, Violet is now determined to focus on her career. But life hands her something—or rather, someone—that might derail everything…<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Xavier Wright did not expect to run into his high school girlfriend Violet—the girl he once thought he’d marry—on a birthday trip to Vegas. As a high school teacher and basketball coach, he rarely leaves his New Jersey hometown, so what were the chances? But when the initial shock wears off, they decide to celebrate together. They feel young and reckless as they party the night away—and reckless they clearly were when the following morning, they wake up beside each other with rings on their fingers.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Their impulsive nuptials might be a blessing in disguise, though, when they realize that both of their careers could benefit from the marriage. So they play the part of a blissfully wedded couple. Yet when their passion comes hurling back, they realize their feelings are just as real as they were back when they were teens. But are their lives too different to stick it through or will they finally get a happy ending?</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35532892.post-81947936632907707862024-03-12T00:00:00.000-07:002024-03-12T00:00:00.250-07:00Promo: It Must Be True Then by Luci Adams<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiztuo1gjXE1TYik1gx14ZkigjJNlySS2I5qmfoKmgxUJ2O8j3kUTn_U65nTZJaisFA7RVjCQgS2eqcFibpgVFgIJ8gxqolJTQstQkcTFuBJawF8AIzzfwBtYyLGZlGCbph7jYbBVif8JIkE8fO3eEFZMhyphenhyphenXZHf5hiGSvPxQlY2rg6p92Tz7DVH/s445/414Yk4fHxbL._SY445_SX342_.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="445" data-original-width="290" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiztuo1gjXE1TYik1gx14ZkigjJNlySS2I5qmfoKmgxUJ2O8j3kUTn_U65nTZJaisFA7RVjCQgS2eqcFibpgVFgIJ8gxqolJTQstQkcTFuBJawF8AIzzfwBtYyLGZlGCbph7jYbBVif8JIkE8fO3eEFZMhyphenhyphenXZHf5hiGSvPxQlY2rg6p92Tz7DVH/s320/414Yk4fHxbL._SY445_SX342_.jpg" width="209" /></a></div><br /> <span style="background-color: white; color: #0f1111; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 700;">A funny and timeless novel from Luci Adams in the vein of Sophie Cousens and Kelly Harms featuring:</span><p></p><span class="a-text-italic" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0f1111; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: italic !important;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />*One horrible, “bury your head under the covers” kind of day<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />*Two adorable children to nanny; and<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />*Their very hot, very single father</span><span style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0f1111; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Daisy has realized you really can hit rock bottom when you lose your job, your boyfriend, and are estranged from your sister all at once.

She dumped me out of spite.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">All her life, Simone’s control-freak father fed her money as long as she played by his rules, even forcing her to sign a contract and punishing her if she took her beloved stepfather’s last name. I devised a plan and offered her my own contract, marrying Simone so she could keep the money and dump her dad’s name. Although our relationship had been as frenemies, our marriage transformed into the real deal. I fell in love with being Simone’s devoted husband. And with her. I thought. Until that night, a colossal argument shattered us. Like a trashy country song, she bailed on me and our marriage in my pickup truck and skipped town. It hurt like hell, but I had to honor our vows and try to win her back.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Returning to Richmond, I watch Simone parading her loser dates as if it’s a sport. I start dating to help myself let go. But things hit a snag when Simone’s father shows up to stay with her for a week. She pleads with me to help her tell her father about our breakup instead of him discovering it and revoking her funds. At first, watching her squirm amuses me, but I’m not a total jackass. I’ll save her once more, but this time, I’m calling the shots, refusing to suffer through another painful breakup. Unfortunately, this infuriates Simone, but now she’s stuck with a husband for a week. Since I’m homeless, crashing with her works out. However, playing out our marriage in front of her father, stuff between Simone and me soon gets real. Way too real.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Dating to avoid Simone only worsens things because of my intense attraction to her. She’s an addiction no rehab can fix. Yet, when she reciprocates the obsession, I freak out and push her too far all over again. But this time, the massive fallout changes us forever.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">You’ll achieve maximum shock and awe if the Wild Sparks Series and The Keys to Jericho are read before this series.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><br /></i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>WARNING: Though Greg Rodwell is an office clown, his Unraveled Renegade series contains profuse graphic language, explicit sexual content, violence, and dark content not suitable for sensitive audiences.

I pick up my duffel bag and go into the bathroom. At the closed door, I hear muffled whispering. I’m sorry if I’m some kind of dud or defective. I’ve thought about a threesome, but I never thought of following through with one. When I think about sex, it’s only with Simone. I thought forever. Not that I wanted that shit.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">And Simone wants me to knock her up someday. On purpose. And I motherfucking agreed to think about it after I swore not to have kids because of my twisted genes.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">After a shower, I still get dressed because I can’t wear only a towel with Sylvie ogling. Though she wants to watch me fuck Simone. Jesus, Harry, and Jonas.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">The bedroom is dark, except for a few candles burning. It legit looks like a human sacrifice is about to happen, and I’m the lamb. Sitting in the middle of the bed, Simone watches me, and Sylvie looks up from her phone. I feel naked, though I’m wearing shorts and my new black T-shirt. I skipped underwear, though. Just in case I change my mind.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">I drop my duffel bag and set my phone, wallet, and keys on Simone’s dresser. Walking over to her bed, I slide my hand into my damp hair, flicking water, and take a deep breath. “No phone, Sylvie. If I do something with Simone, I don’t want you recording it.”</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">She laughs. “I wouldn’t do that, but here.” Sylvie tosses her phone onto the bed, and I pick it up. Setting it on Simone’s desk on the other side of the room, I watch Sylvie as I return to the bed. She stands to pop the champagne cork, pours champagne from the fog-spewing bottle, and hands flutes to Simone and me. Sylvie holds up hers. “Congratulations, Simone. May you soon orgasm too. Cheers.”</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">I frown but mumble, “Cheers.”</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Simone giggles as I settle against the pillow next to her. Sylvie says, “Pretend I’m not here. But if things get hot, ignore the buzzing.”</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Simone twists as she laughs. “My God. You brought a vibrator?”</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">“Several. I don’t know which one will be right for the mood.” This feels gross.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Simone sets down her glass on the nightstand and snuggles toward me. She swipes damp hair off my forehead and whispers, “It’s okay. I’ll take out the ring. I had to remove it once to pee downstairs while you were in the shower.”</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">I swallow a mouthful of champagne and then down the rest of it. Sylvie asks, “More, Rod?”</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">I hold up my glass, and she hops up to refill it to the brim. She could’ve drugged it when I wasn’t looking, but somehow, I trust Simone wouldn’t let her do that to me. Maybe I’m still the idiot Simone dumped.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Drinking more, I look at Simone’s long, bare legs, and lace dress riding high. She sees me checking her out and whispers, “Maybe you should take back your ring.”</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">I down the rest of the champagne and set the empty flute on the nightstand. I lie beside her and whisper, “I don’t know if I can.”</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Simone picks up my hand and places it between her legs. Without hesitation, I cup her pussy and rub my palm back and forth over it as if I’m telling Sylvie this one is all mine. At least for tonight. I put pressure on Simone’s clit and slip two fingers into her. She whimpers, and I glance at Sylvie, watching with interest and maybe holding her breath. If she stays over there and can’t take pictures, maybe I can do this for Simone.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">My dick stirs as I peel down Simone’s underwear on one side while Simone pushes the other side until she’s able to kick them onto the floor. Her blue eyes fly to my lips. “Touch me, Greg.”</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Again, I don’t waver and slide my fingers through her wet curlies. She opens her legs, and I thrust two fingers into her. Simone is so wet that I finger-fuck her as Sylvie watches. Simone pants and lifts her hips with my rhythm. I slide deep enough to feel the ring, and I smile. Relaxing somewhat, I sit up and move between Simone’s legs. Sylvie hums an approval, but she’s still not buzzing. Oddly, I feel like I’m failing.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">I kiss Simone’s thighs to her pussy, and she moans, “Please.”</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">“What do you want me to do?” I ask between kisses.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">“I want your tongue.”</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">To contain my enthusiasm, I bite my lip, suppressing the urge to grin. I can’t enjoy this too much yet. “You want me to eat you out?”</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Sylvie hisses, “Jesus, yes!”</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">I try to glare at Sylvie, but I smirk from the impatient look on her face. I grip Simone’s thighs and lick through her blonde curls. When I thrust my tongue into her hot velvet, it makes me moan with her. Simone digs her hands into my hair as I suck on her clit. My dick drills into the bed more, needing to feel Simone.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"> Even hearing Sylvie juices me. Not because I want her, but because she’s getting off at watching me pleasuring Simone. I wasn’t lying to Simone. Despite our frequent arguments, our volcanic screws remain explosive.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">I push a finger into Simone’s pussy to pull the ring closer. I then bite it and suck it into my mouth before kneeling up and dropping it on Simone’s stomach.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Sylvie asks, “What is that? A piercing?”</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Simone pants, “His ex-wedding ring.”</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Sylvie’s eyes widen and she whines, “Holy fucking shit.”</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">I return to licking Simone’s clit, and she whispers, “I want to come in your mouth.”</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">I plunge my tongue into her until her moans grow louder.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Sylvie shrieks, “Do it, Simone! Rod is eating you like a champ!”</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Simone cries out as her muscles push out my tongue, so I lick her twitching clit, and she nearly screams. I moan and grope my hard-on beneath me. I hear Sylvie shifting around, but I don’t stop feeding on Simone’s cream as promised.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">I kneel to move, and Simone sits up. Face to face, we look at each other. In the dim light, her blue eyes sparkle, and her cheeks glow. She smiles and traces her thumb over my bottom lip, and in this moment, there’s one thing I crave more than motherfucking anything.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Sylvie’s fast breathing makes it a little weird, but not enough to stop me. Simone licks her lip and whispers, “You’re beyond handsome, Greg Rodwell.” She drops her hand, and her smile wanes as if she’s thinking of something sad.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">I reach up and brush stray blonde hair from her rosy cheek. I love feeling her silky skin. “And you’re so goddamn beautiful, Simone Simpson.” Simone’s smile returns and I drop to capture it with my lips. She whimpers in surprise, and I clutch her head as I deepen our kiss.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Simone holds onto my forearms and slips her tongue into my mouth. She tastes herself but doesn’t seem to hate it. I sure the hell don’t.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">I didn’t realize how inherent my need to kiss her possessed me until now. Almost like I’m going off script, I kiss Simone and don’t care about Sylvie watching. I want her to see how fucking crazed Simone drives me. I can’t explain it. I only know that I need Simone, but at her mercy is a dangerous fucking place to be.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">But as much as I lose myself kissing her, Simone holds onto and kisses me like it’ll be our last. At least, maybe for a while, until she wants me to get her pregnant again someday. Jesus H. Christ. I can’t wait for something that won’t happen. Having a kid with her would be so fucking stupid of me. It’s a severe risk, and I’m no daredevil.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">My lips burn, and my dick throbs, but Simone’s lips are fucking addictive. I thought so the first time we kissed at Jake’s. Simone buries her fingers into my hair, and when she lifts her lips from me, she whispers, “Greg.”</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">We whisper even though Sylvie isn’t far from us. “Simone.”</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">“I want you.” She looks at me, worried, which worries me.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">“I want you too.”</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">I go to kiss her again, but she shakes her head. “No. I mean, I want you.”</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">I wrinkle my forehead. “Like?”</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">“I don’t know.” She fingers the flowers of her necklace. I love seeing it on Simone.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">I graze my knuckles over her cheek. “Then take all of me, baby.”</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">We meet in another passionate kiss and moan together. Sylvie gasps, “Are you kidding me? How did I not see it? Oh, my God! You’re in love with each other!”</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">I don’t bother responding to Sylvie because I’m busy. It’s not love. It’s attraction. Since we met, Simone has changed my life and turns me on like no one else, even if it’s disguised as anger or jokes. And every time we have sex, I grow more attracted to her. My attraction to Hadley was never on this level. But this isn’t love because genuine love wouldn’t have left me and broken my heart. I trust Simone with my dick, but not my heart. When my heart strays too far, I numb it with more sex with Simone. Either that or the pain will fucking kill me. It’s a never-ending cycle.</span></p></span></span></div>

He will show weakness. “It’s okay to be sad,” I coo, gently patting the top of his head.

I tilt my head back, looking up at him as he towers over me. It’s not by much, but he’s always felt like a giant in comparison. He’s got his normal Dax façade in place, and I can tell this isn’t as easy for him as he’s making it out to be. He has a girlfriend back home whom he’s refused to let go of, and I get the impression this transition will also greatly interfere with that. The realization makes me feel like an ass for being so selfish.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 21.6pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">“Dax, I’m sorry.” I admit, placing a hand on his shoulder, gripping it tightly.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 21.6pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">His hazel eyes finally connect with mine. “For what?” He raises a brow in confusion.

Haven’t really considered everything you’re giving up in the process, as well. And I’m not referring to me.” I smirk. “How does this move affect things with Amber?” I usually don’t like discussing his girlfriend because I don’t particularly care for her. It’s not because she’s any sort of threat to our friendship. He just seems to have blinders on when it comes to her, and I can’t figure out why. But he’s my best friend, and just because I’ve avoided love to focus on my career, I can’t hold his lack of abstaining over his head.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 21.6pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">His shoulders slump, and he lets out an exasperated sigh, running his hand through his hair.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 21.6pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">“Do I need to get my notebook back out?” I raise my brow.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 21.6pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">He laughs and shakes his head, then looks away as if he’s trying to piece together an acceptable answer. When his gaze meets mine, indecisiveness heavily weighs him down. “Honestly, I don’t know. I’m supposed to stop by her apartment on my way to see my parents before continuing my trek up the coast.”</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 21.6pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">I nod and offer a smile as some sort of reassurance. “It’ll all work itself out the way it’s supposed to.

On my way to the front door, I stop to take in the silence that surrounds me. I know it’s temporary, but I already feel lonely.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 21.6pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">“Suck it up, buttercup,” I mumble, using the words I know Dax would say. He’s right. This is an opportunity for each of us to fully immerse ourselves in our careers without our friendship possibly holding us back. I shut the door behind me, deciding not to be sad and lame, but to make the best of the situation.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 21.6pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">The sun beats down on me as I walk to my truck. Almost as if it’s a laser and I’m its target. I rest my hand around my door handle and lean my head back, reveling in the heat, letting it recharge me. </span><span style="font-style: italic; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Here’s to new beginnings.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 21.6pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">I make the short drive from the barracks across base to the hangar I will be reporting to daily. As I turn onto the mass of concrete sprawled out in front of me that leads to the enormous metal building, an overwhelming sense of emotion hits me. This is it. This is what I’ve dreamed of ever since I was a little boy. I’m a pilot—an aviation warrant officer. Life can’t get any better than this.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 21.6pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">I park my truck and walk in through the massive, lifted doors where mechanics work on a couple planes. These men and women are the true heroes. They work behind the scenes, making sure us pilots are operating safe flying apparatuses. I nod at those I pass, making my way to the offices on the adjacent wall. A nameplate reading Maj. Clark marks the third door down the corridor. Light shines through the half-cracked door and voices spill out as I inch closer.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 21.6pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">A familiar voice says, “I think working at the salon in the PX will be a great start.” </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 21.6pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">I can’t help but wonder who Major Clark is talking to.

Major Clark’s eyes dart in my direction from behind his desk, and the brunette keeps her back to me.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 21.6pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">“Sir.” I clear my throat. “I hope this isn’t bad timing.” </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 21.6pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">He shifts his gaze from me to his daughter, then back to me.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 21.6pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">“Not at all,” the female says, standing. “I was just leaving.” She glances over her shoulder at me and smiles. She rounds his desk and bends over, giving him a hug, then kisses his forehead. “Bye, Dad. I love you.”</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 21.6pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">“Bye, honey.

She stops in front of me and glances down to my badge. Her green eyes slowly rise back to mine, and a smile tugs at the corner of her mouth.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 21.6pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">“Fox.” She drags the three-letter word through her pouty lips as if she’s practicing it as her last name.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 21.6pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">“Yes, ma’am.” I smile with a nod. “Lincoln Fox.” I stick my hand out, and she quickly accepts the gesture.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 21.6pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">“Lynsie Clark.” She smiles back.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 21.6pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">The scraping of a chair jerks our heads toward her dad’s desk as he stands. “Officer Fox, I’ve heard a lot about you.” His tone is even.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 21.6pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">“Sir, all good things, I hope.” I chance a peek at Lynsie. She looks up and smiles, and I realize I have her blocked in. I shift to the left, offering her the space she needs to leave, and she mouths ‘good luck’ before walking past me out the door.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 21.6pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">I straighten my stance and give my full attention to my commanding officer. I’m convinced I’ve just blown that good first impression I was after. Major Clark takes a few steps toward me, then crosses his arms and leans against the edge of his desk.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 21.6pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">“Yes, all good things.” </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 21.6pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Redemption swarms within me.

She currently lives in Edmond, OK where she faithfully attends North Church with her kids. She's a blessed mom of 4 who loves Jesus and serving others. Her hobbies include attending dirt track races, concerts, reading, DIY, and making red dirt shirts. It wasn’t until the ripe age of 27 when she realized she had a hidden passion for reading. Up until that point in her life, she claimed to have hated it. Shortly after, she was hit with another revelation: the desire to tell stories. Knowing she had failed all writing assignments in school, she set out on this journey mainly to prove to herself she could do it. So, here she is today, proving it. Erika wants to encourage anyone with a dream to go for it.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Roboto Slab; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>

Now Daisy is unemployed, lost her boyfriend (he worked at the same company), and is estranged from her only sister, Mia. Life looks bleak and Daisy certainly has a reason to be depressed but that doesn’t pay the bills. So she drags herself out of her flat to the nearest grocery store for a meal. She runs into a curious little girl named Cara—and then Cara’s sister Bailey shows up. The two girls are cute even as they bicker. But where is their mother? A woman shows up and it appears that she is the mother as she leaves with them (they weren’t supposed to be there). Before they leave, the woman posts a want-ad on the board. It is for a nanny position. </p><p><br /></p><p>Things are not going well for Daisy in the hilarious IT MUST BE TRUE THEN. Her sister does show up but as always, the two end up arguing. Mia only comes to Daisy when she breaks up with her latest boyfriend and needs money. Mia leaves in a huff and it puts Daisy in an even more depressing mood. The two sisters had been abandoned by their mother to live with a grandparent and Daisy always felt unwanted. Now she doesn’t have a sister. She ends up talking to a man she inadvertently meets—first as a handyman and then as a bartender. He gives her some advice, so she decides to take the advice and goes to the address of the nanny job. Oops…turns out that her handyman/bartender is the father to the girls she met in the store, and he isn’t looking for a nanny. The woman who posted it is—or now<i> was</i>—his girlfriend.</p><p><br /></p><p>While IT MUST BE TRUE THEN is classified as a romance, there is not a lot of romance in it. Instead, we get Daisy’s journey from being on top of the world and loving her life to now being unemployed and watching her realize that she needs to change herself. Cara and Bailey are a fresh breath of air for Daisy, but she isn’t looking for love, especially one that involves being a parent. Along the way, she soon learns that her ex-boyfriend had other girlfriends. Oh, the humiliation. Add in that it is hard to explain to potential employers as to why she got canned, it’s no wonder that Daisy isn’t sure what or where to go in her life. IT MUST BE TRUE THEN reads more like Women’s Fiction, but with the added bonus of a potential love interest. </p><p><br /></p><p>By the end of this tale, hopefully, all the what-ifs are answered, and things just may end up happily ever after for Daisy. What about her feelings for Archie, the father of the girls? Can she look past the fact that he has children, even though she loves Cara and Bailey? Pick up a copy of IT MUST BE TRUE THEN to find out the answers. </p><p><br /></p><p>Patti Fischer</p><div><br /></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35532892.post-37989835385484334012024-03-08T05:00:00.000-08:002024-03-08T05:00:00.146-08:00Cover Reveal: Scars on my Heart by S.L.

Everyone knew everyone in this small town, and they helped us heal from our devastating loss.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Once I knew my kids would be okay, I started looking for work. Bluebird Books hired me almost right away. I was to run the new kids program that Trinity was starting. That was where I met Zach and his daughter, Grace.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Zach was the new owner of the Willow Valley Inn. He’d come in to return a book his daughter had borrowed from the program. We exchanged pleasantries and that was when the computer had gone down. Zach lost his patience, and that was when our pleasant conversation turned sour. I wasn’t worried about it because I figured I’d never see him again.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I was wrong. It turns out in a small town, everyone sees everyone almost daily, if not twice a day. At the grocery store, the gas station, the elementary school and as luck would have it, the bookstore. Soon, our conversations turn pleasant again, and without even trying, I find myself drawn to him. Then he asks me out on a date.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Despite my reservations, I decided to take a chance on love again.

He’s also my new neighbor, and after a humiliating experience in the cemetery that is my backyard, he becomes my shadow, showing up everywhere just to annoy me.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-size: large; text-align: center;">I’m not a fan of happy people. They bother me with their constant grins and rainbows coming out of their ears, and Vander Booth is the king of smiles. Despite my efforts to scare him away with both my profession as an undertaker and my general need for frowning through most of my workday, he sticks around like a bad case of poison ivy.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-size: large; text-align: center;">He is gorgeous though. I’ll give him that. And when I see the way he coordinates outfits with his grandma just to make her happy, I'll admit my biological clock starts ticking.

As a travel consultant, she jet sets around the world—anywhere but Scotland. But when she’s sent on assignment to help a struggling family-run tour company in the Highlands—and save her own job—Addie packs away her emotional baggage and turns on the professional charm.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Rugged as the land he loves, Logan Sutherland’s greatest joy is sharing the beauty of Scotland’s hidden gems…even if it means a wee bit of red ink on the company’s bottom line. The last thing Logan wants is some American “expert” pushing tourist traps and perpetuating myths about the Loch Ness Monster—especially when Addie never leaves her desk to experience the country for herself.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />As they wage an office war, Logan discovers Addie’s secret connection to Scotland: a handful of faded Polaroids of her late mother. Hoping for a truce, he creates a private tour to the places in the pictures to help Addie find closure and appreciate the enchantment in less-traveled destinations, never expecting the off-limits attraction sparking between them. But Addie’s contract is almost up, and magic won’t pay the bills. They can’t afford distractions, but how can Addie do her job if she hasn’t explored all Scotland—and Logan—have to offer?</span><div><span style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0f1111; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0f1111; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><h3 style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 18px; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 4px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">About the Author</span></h3><div class="a-section a-spacing-small a-padding-small" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0px; padding: 6px 10px !important;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">Alexandra Kiley writes big-hearted romances full of banter, found-family, and deep love.

Her novels are inspired by her semester in Scotland where she fell in love with not only the lush and magical land, but also the people who invited her into their homes and made her feel like family.</span></div></span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35532892.post-26034199532159832232024-03-04T00:00:00.000-08:002024-03-04T00:00:00.136-08:00Promo: Beyond the Temptation Anthology Vol 1 with authors:Aleatha Romig, Chelle Sloan, Ciara St. James, Kimberly Knight, Tracey Jerald, Nikki Landis, Kate Hawthorne, Mignon Mykel, Alexia Chase, Gwyn McNamee, Morgan Jane Mitchell, S.R.

Truth is, most people around here order the same thing until the day somebody throws their ashes off a roller coaster at Dollywood. The line snakes around the building as far as you can see, the grimiest bunch of Jessies, Pearls, and Scooters you ever did behold, hobnobbing in the parking lot from noon until night.</i></p><p><br /></p><p>When PJ Spoon returns home for her beloved daddy’s funeral, she doesn’t expect to stick around. Why abandon her PhD program at Vanderbilt for the humble charms of her hometown, Pennywhistle, Tennessee? Mamma’s broken heart, that’s why. But truth be told, PJ’s own heart ain’t doing too good either. She impulsively takes a job as a fry cook at Pennywhistle’s beloved Chickie Shak, where locals gather for Nashville-style hot chicken. It may not be glamorous, but it’s something to do.</p><p><br /></p><p>Fate shakes up PJ’s life again when the town rallies around the terribly retro and terribly fun Hot Chicken Pageant. PJ finally notices her cute redheaded coworker Boof, a singer-songwriter with a talent as striking as her curly hair, and learns to fear her smack-talking manager, Linda.</p><p><br /></p><p>As PJ and Boof fall for each other, Boof’s search for her birth mother—a Pennywhistle native—catapults the budding couple into a mystery that might be better left unsolved. The Chickie Shak pageant takes off, spurring old rivalries and new friendships in this tale of unexpected connections and new beginnings.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>If you're interested in winning a print copy of this book, post a comment.,</b></p><p><b>The contest ends 3/9/24 at 9:00 PM ET and is open to USA mailing addresses only. </b></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35532892.post-71298524424365452982024-03-02T18:04:00.000-08:002024-03-02T18:04:12.114-08:00Book Winner!<p> The winner of At First Spite is flchen1!</p><p><br /></p><p>Congrats!</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
