New Teaser

"So are you hoping to meet your friend in the steam room?" Jane asked as we walked. "Are you sure you want me to be there?"

"She's not my friend." I shook my head. "And I would much rather you be there. In fact, if you want to do the things she offered to do, I wouldn't say no."

"I'm sure you wouldn't," she scoffed. "I have a feeling that there's not much you wouldn't say no to."

"That's not fair, Jane." I touched the small of her back lightly. "You know I have feelings, too. You're going to make me feel bad if you keep ragging on me."

"Ragging on you?" She looked at me suspiciously. "What?"

"You're just hurting my feelings, that's all."

"Yeah, right." She pulled away from me and rolled her eyes. "You forget I have an older brother, I know bad acting when I see it."

"Are you calling me a bad actor?"

"Yup!" She grinned. "If there was an award for bad acting, I think you would get a prize."

"Like an Oscar?"

"Yeah, you'd get an anti-Oscar."

"You're so good for my ego." I dropped the act and laughed. "I'm glad you never decided to go into teaching or nursing. You'd have a lot of sad students and patients."

"I'm glad you didn't go into being a business owner, you'd have a lot of sad employees." She pouted. "Oh wait, oops."

"Very funny, Jane." I laughed. "I think I make a pretty good boss, don't you?"

"Do you really want me to answer that?"

"Yes."

"If by very good, you mean arrogant, then the answer is yes."

"So you think I'm arrogant?" I ran my hand through my hair. "Why do you think that? Just because I'm handsome and rich …"

"And blah blah blah." Jane continued my sentence for me. "Yes, for all of those reasons."

"Well, you do know what Taylor Swift says, right?"

"What?"

"Shake it off!" I sang. "Because the haters gonna hate, hate, hate."

"You know the lyrics to Taylor Swift songs?"

"I have younger sisters, remember?"

"Oh yeah." She nodded. "So when are you going to South Carolina?"

"In two weeks." I frowned. I really didn't want to go back home. I didn't want to deal with my dad asking when I'd be moving back home. I didn't want to deal with my mom bringing around all her friends’ eligible daughters, hoping that I’d ask one on a date and then get married six months later. I didn't want my sisters trying to hook me up with their friends or my dad's old cronies asking me if I had any interest in getting into politics. I missed my family and I loved seeing them, but I hated the pressures that came with visits back to the family home.

"You look thoughtful again." Jane’s voice jarred me out of my thoughts, and it struck me that she always seemed to realize when I had deeper thoughts on my mind.

"Nah, I don't do much thinking."

"I don't believe you," she said with a small shake of her head. "Is this it?" We stopped outside the steam room.

"Do you have anything to change into?” I asked her. “We're meant to take a shower before we go inside."

"Oh," She bit down on her lower lip. "I don't have anything …" She suddenly grinned. "But I have an idea. Where are the towels?"

"Why? Are you going to go inside naked?"

"No, Tate." She pulled her t-shirt off in one swoop and my jaw dropped as I stared at her in a hot pink pushup bra. "What are you looking at?"

"What do you think?" I couldn't keep my eyes off of her. The long lines of her neck. Her smooth shoulders. The valley between her breasts that I couldn't see completely because her pushup bra got in the way. The slight curve of her belly and the way her yoga pants fit her so much differently now that they weren't covered by a long baggy t-shirt. Shit, she was hot. Her golden-brown skin glowed with sweat, and I wanted to lean forward and lick it off of her. I was quite literally in shock. I had not expected her to take her shirt off like that.

"Honestly, I don't really care." She shrugged. "Get me a towel, please." And then she leaned down and started undoing the laces of her shoes.

"What are you doing?" I gawked as she took her shoes off.

"You've got eyes." She looked up at me. "What does it look like I'm doing?

"I have no idea." And then she shocked me again, by pulling her pants off and holding them up. "Okay, I'm ready to go in now." She handed me her t-shirt, shoes, and pants. "Take care of these for me, will you?" She smiled, then turned around and then opened the door.

"You're meant to shower first."

"You're not going to tell on me, are you?" And with that, she walked inside, leaving me standing there.

I stood there for what felt like years, but must have only been about ten seconds. I looked at her clothes in my hand and debated going in naked, but I dismissed that idea in about three seconds. I wanted to have some fun, but I wasn’t going to blow my load in the steam room while trying.

She Loves Me by Melissa Foster

She Loves Me by Melissa Foster

Synopsis:

What are two besties willing to risk for something more? The New York Times bestselling author of This Is Love has the answer in this fun, sexy, and emotional romance about friendship, family, and giving love a chance.

Something is off in Piper Dalton’s life, and she has a feeling it might just be her. All her siblings are blissfully settled with their forever loves. But while her sisters were dreaming of white weddings, Piper was left heartbroken and commitment phobic by her first love, her best friend’s younger brother. As a woman dominating the male-driven construction industry, Piper has no interest in turning in her hammer for an apron—even if hot and hilarious Harley thinks otherwise.

Burly bar owner Harley Dutch has a bum ankle and two preteen nieces to take care of, and having his best friend, tough-as-nails and sexy-as-sin Piper Dalton, come to his rescue is just the remedy he needs. Piper is her snarky self, and she kind of sucks at caregiving, but she’s owned his heart for years, she’s got a way with the girls, and Harley would sure like to have his way with her…

As things heat up between Piper and Harley, she warns him not to fall in love with her because she’ll only break his heart. Harley is the right man for that challenge—until he makes the biggest mistake of his life, and they begin to wonder if true love really can conquer all.

Review:

This is a friends to lovers story. Harley is a big, burly guy who would do anything for his family and friends. He is strong, dominant, sexy, and has such a huge heart. Piper is kick-ass, strong, sassy, hard-working, and caring. Harley has been patiently waiting for Piper to see him as more than a friend. She is quick to jump in and help him when he is injured, it is then he aggressively starts pursuing her. Piper keeps denying her feelings, believing she is not capable of being in love or good at relationships. I really wanted to shake her and knock some sense into her! Can Harley convince Piper that they have a future together?

This a fun, sexy yet emotional story with plot twists to keep you on your toes. I really enjoy Foster’s writing she can keep you engaged from the first page to the last page. Her characters are believable and lovable. This story is about family, love, and friendship and is definitely one to be enjoyed

Synopsis:

Buried secrets never stay hidden in the South.

Olivia

When you find out that your fiancé is arrested for swindling over ten million dollars from his clients, you do what any sane woman would do. You escape reality and go undercover, trading in your city-girl Louboutins for country-pumpkin cowboy boots.

 It wasn’t a forever change—it was temporary. I only had to stay here until things back home got straightened out, or so I thought.

Casey

I was riding horses before I was walking, or at least that was what they told me. I always knew I would take over the family farm. It’s in my blood.

Country boy at heart, the minute I saw her dragging her luggage up the gravel driveway I knew she was out of my league.

I shouldn’t have started anything with her, because I knew she was just passing through.

I couldn’t stop it, I fell in love with her. Even though I knew, in the end, she would leave me.

Review:

This book is full of intrigue, it is steamy, and you will fall in love with Casey and Olivia. Casey is a sexy cowboy as well as a sexy business man. He is just something else. Olivia is a feisty, strong woman who has never had anyone to look out for her in the past. Olivia is under Casey’s protection, as she has the misfortune to be pulled into her ex’s dirty dealings. This book draws you in and keeps you engaged from start to finish, as Casey and Olivia fall for each other,  while trying to stay one step ahead of trouble. I love this book and this series, there is a great cast of characters who enhance the story, can’t wait for the next book. If you are looking for a love story with a side of intrigue, I highly recommend this book.
