There is something about when two characters leap off the pages. They sizzle and sparks fly between them. Even if they aren't good for each other, the tension and passion between them draws you in. This is exactly what happens in EXPIRY DATING by Isobel Reed. Her hero is returning to the small town life after a military discharge. He's soul weary but the young woman he meets gives him a new lease on life. Alice has run from her past. She hopes to have a peaceful life but Brady is anything but peaceful for her. I really enjoyed the verbal sparring between the characters. They come together like an explosion. EXPIRY DATING is a scorching hot read... not because of steamy sex but because of sizzling characters and fun language. EXPIRY DATING is available in ebook and print. You can get a copy for yourself. As a part of the BLUESTONE series, EXPIRY DATING can be read as a stand alone, although some of the characters show up in the other books in the series. Blurb: Sparks start more than a fire… They start an explosion. Alice is not happy. Her ex screwed her over, literally. One day her mother is dreaming of a white wedding, the next, Alice is hurling hardbacks at a naked boyfriend caught in bed with her best friend. So she did the only logical thing she could think of. She got the hell out of there. In fact, she left the country. It’s not long before she discovers the perks of small-town living, and she even finds herself a job. There is just one thing stopping this all from being perfect though. One infuriating person she just can’t seem to shake. Brady Mitchell. It figures that the hottest man she’s ever seen also just so happens to be the most annoying one on the planet. Brady is back home and trying to come to terms with life outside the military. Adjusting to a new job and new limitations from his injury, he expected to settle into a slower pace of life, maybe even a quiet one. That was until Alice Hart came bulldozing into his world. The woman was anything but quiet. Loud, angry and sexy as hell, yes. But definitely not quiet. Alice and Brady ignite inside and outside the bedroom. But will they survive the burn? EXPIRY DATING- the second book in the Bluestone Series is a funny, wild romp along the lines of Stephanie Berget’s cowboy romances or Sarina Bowen’s True North series. EXPIRY DATING features a retired marine and the feisty young woman who steals his heart. While it is a part of a series, Expiry Dating can be read as a standalone. Grab your copy today. EXCERPT There he was—Brady—all six foot two of him. The new bane of her existence. He was wearing a fitted, tan, cop uniform so sexy it should be illegal. If she didn’t already know he was the devil, she could easily be fooled by his dark, brooding good looks. Even his damn caramel-coloured eyes were mesmerizing. Mesmerizing eyes? Get a frigging grip, Alice. He’s the devil, remember? It had been two weeks since they’d met in Vegas at Lily and Jake’s impromptu wedding, and despite trying to avoid Brady like the plague since then, he just kept showing up. Yes, Bluestone was small, and Alice was staying at his best friend’s ranch, but it was actually getting ridiculous. He was everywhere. Whenever she ventured out, whether it was to get coffee or go shopping, he was there, waiting in the shadows, ready to make her life miserable. “Looking good, sweetness.” Brady smirked as he purposely knocked her on the way over to the fridge, where he swiftly removed a beer bottle. Alice shot him a glare over her shoulder. “Wish I could say the same to you, Brady, but it appears as if the rumours really are true and beer does go straight to a man’s gut.” She was lying, of course. There was no beer belly in sight. The man was a wall of solid muscle, but something about him drove her absolutely insane. It apparently also meant she couldn’t control her mouth whenever he was in the vicinity. He’d somehow managed to crawl under her skin in a matter of minutes of them meeting, and insults had been hurled between them ever since. Brady’s silky laughter bellowed behind her. “You offering to help me work it off, sweetness?” Buy Links: |
