Excerpt
“I’m going to wash up,” William said as a servant took hold of Charles’s hat and cane.
“Down the hall, to your left, William,” Rutherford told him, then he turned to Charles, and they walked off to the front parlor.
William passed a few guests and dipped his chin in greeting before rounding the corner to the washroom. He came to a sudden stop when he heard a soft moan coming from a room to his right. The door was slightly ajar, and he tilted his head to peek inside. A smile tugged at his lips as he witnessed a woman in a lover’s embrace. The man’s large hands roamed over her sapphire skirt, down to her luscious ass while she whimpered softly. In turn, her hands found their way into his pockets. The man was murmuring to her, and she let out a low laugh. She had stunning curls in a reddish-brown color that flowed down her back as she arched into the passionate hold.
William knew his rectitude of conduct was considered debased and immoral, but all these people lived the same way; they just all did it in secret. Typical upper class behavior.
When he felt a presence creeping up behind him, he swiveled around just in time to confront the person. He caught a wrist and pressed Anne with her back against the opposite wall, quickly covering her mouth with his hand to prevent her from making a sound. Her eyes widened, but he could feel she was smiling when he pushed his leg between hers. He raised one eyebrow and put a finger to his lips, warning her to be quiet.
His thoughts were consumed by the lady in another man’s arms, who was now whispering something. Her voice held a smoky edge that made William wonder about her face, about who she was.
Anne started to wiggle against him, and William realized he practically forgot the woman he had up against the wall. Removing his hand, he softly stated, “There are people in there; let’s give them some privacy.”
He desperately wanted to avoid speaking with Anne because she was either going to come on to him again or pick a fight about the way he treated her after they had sex earlier in the day. He also didn’t need her mother catching them since he had fucked Mrs. Rutherford a couple of years ago. So he hurriedly released Anne and strode to the front parlor while ignoring her plea to stay and talk for a minute. He wasn’t worried in the least that she would discuss any of her afternoon activities with her father or other family members since nineteen year old Anne was supposed to be a shy, rule-abiding society girl. But Anne was always looking for sexual pleasure, and she got it from different guys at the fight club. Today was the one time William finally let her into his bed, and he regretted it since she wasn’t very memorable.
Entering the parlor, he sought out Charles, who was already seated next to Rutherford.
The entire meal, William was ignoring Anne and looking for a woman in a sapphire dress and auburn curls to walk in, but she never came. Just when he decided that she was probably still with the man in that room, the man crossed the threshold, looking decidedly unpleased – without her trailing behind him. A crease formed in William’s forehead because he couldn’t imagine where that particular guest would be during the dinner. Nonetheless, he tried to focus on the conversation around him.
After dinner, the men retreated to another room to smoke, which was apparently a British tradition, but William wasn’t one to put up with traditions and neither were some other Americans, so they joined the women in the ballroom where a huge chandelier hung in the middle of the ceiling, illuminating the entire dance floor.
William snagged a glass of champagne from a passing footman’s tray and downed it in one gulp in time to deposit it on another, replacing it with a second drink. A smirk flitted across his face when he spotted the woman in the far corner. It must be her with those curls flowing magnificently to her lower back, the tips ending right above her ass – an ass he could sink his teeth into. Why he needed to see her face, he didn’t know or particularly care. Moving toward her, he noticed how she kept quiet and just observed the men around her.
And when she turned her head, William stopped dead in his tracks. Standing under the light of the chandelier, he saw that her hair had a deep reddish glow, a color he had certainly not seen before. She was quite young, not yet a woman. Her skin seemed so soft to the touch. And her face was one he was most likely never to forget. Her eyes were a vibrant blue and magnificently huge, made even more remarkable because of her reddish-brown, thick curls. Her high cheekbones and deliciously plump, pink lips caught his attention next. The lady had an air of innocence and arrogance that had his cock twitching in his pants. She was perusing the room with a perceptive expression and passed William, then she stopped and slowly looked back at him.
He kept his stare locked on her face. There was something familiar in her features.
Her eyes widened a touch when he started to move toward her little group.
“Gentlemen.” He shook hands and smiled at her – she didn’t return the favor.
They all greeted him and relayed him with questions about the gaming club. William answered them while stealing glances at the girl, who was starting to look for an escape.
Did she know William saw her and her lover in the room?
What really bothered him was why no one had introduced her to him.
When a heated political discussion regarding liquor ignited, William took his opportunity to talk to her.
She was standing right across from him now. She was neither short nor tall, but somewhere roughly in the middle. And she had a small dusting of freckles on her nose.
“I believe we haven’t been introduced, Miss…”
She arced a perfectly plucked brow but kept silent, leaving William at a loss for words – for the first time ever. She definitely knew he’d caught her in a lover’s embrace.
As he leisurely examined her, he realized she was indeed young and made a considerable effort to look older with makeup and a revealing, low cut dress, the swell of her small breasts absolutely enthralling to him. He took a sip of his drink and kept gawking at her over the rim of his glass since he was enjoying how uncomfortable his attention was making her.
“Stop staring at me,” she hissed, low enough for only William to hear.
A corner of his mouth slowly rose. “Why so shy?”
She straightened her back and ran her fingers through her hair, that air of arrogance surrounding her still, and William thought that perhaps she was one of Anne’s juvenile friends.
“Where were you during dinner?” he wanted to know.
Her lips trembled, and she glanced around anxiously.
Rudely, she spun around to leave, but William stopped her by the elbow and released her instantly.  
Then he slipped behind her, without touching, and leaned in close to her ear. “Off to another rendezvous?”
Her head turned, their lips almost touched, and she softly answered while gazing at his mouth, “No, we’re not all like you. At least I have the decency to find the privacy of a room.”
Finally, she admitted that she saw him too, probably when he had Anne pressed against the wall.
“Who are you?” he blurted, becoming slightly annoyed by her conceit.
She stepped away from him quickly and threw him a brash grin that he felt directly in his cock. “Wouldn’t you like to know?”
William was completely perplexed by this young girl, and all he could think to ask was, “How old are you?”
A tremor of shock went through her, yet she didn’t utter a word.
He added on a whisper, “I’ll find out anyway who you are.”
Without acknowledging his statement, she paced away briskly while the other men were oblivious to what had just transpired between the two of them.
And William smiled at her retreating form, promising himself to find out who this smug woman was.
 
About Author Soraya Naomi
I was born in South America in 1984 and raised in Europe where I presently reside with my fiancé.
I read many genres but favor intense, dark, seductive, and provocative novels where the male character loves fiercely, without remorse or boundaries. I also adore forbidden love tales and have an odd fascination with kidnapping romances. No, I don’t secretly want to be kidnapped, though!
I have a passionate obsession with the written word and indulge in chocolate pastries much too often.

Synopsis

Evelyn Harper lived the perfect life.
Until she was fired from her job.
After a ridiculous idea devised among friends comes to existence, Evelyn finds herself part owner in a private investigation firm specializing in matters of the heart. Throughout wild antics with her best friends Jonathan and Kate, Evelyn conducts relationship background checks for a wide variety of clients.
Soon it becomes clear that one case has moved beyond professional and Evelyn finds herself fighting an attraction she cannot resist.
Will Evelyn admit her feelings when she uncovers love in the most unexpected of places?
 

Review

After losing her job, Evelyn is worried about what she will do next. But thanks to her crazy friend Kate, an idea leads to a potential career as a PI. Honing in on her social media research skills, Evie is able to find out if men are really who they say they are. This new PI job should be easy, get in get out with the information and get one happy customer. Easy as pie, right?! Evie has to make a choice, love or work!

I absolutely adored Uncovering Love! Evelyn and Tate’s relationship was just superb! These two meet in a new way, she is set out to investigate him as a potential love interest for her client. And as the investigation continues she finds a connection and begins to fall for him. Well they both fall in love with one another. The character Tate, is a private man. He’s a personal trainer that all the females at the gym stop and stare at. Gorgeous, fit and a foodie to boot makes him extra swoon worthy! Tate is genuinely a sweet guy that loves his adorable nephew and sister. He loves hard and takes care of family and friends. Trust is very important to him and when the truth comes out (as it always does) he has to decide if Evie should be forgiven.
Apart from being completely absorbed in this book, I found the characters relatable. Kate and Jon seems as though they may have a future book, so I’m anxious to get my hands on that! I definitely look forward to reading more from Kacey Shea! Congratulations Uncovering Love on a 5 smooch review!

Review

Ah this was a fun packed sweet and sexy story and I really enjoyed it. 
Amy is independent, to the point of being stubborn, and she’s known for running. 

Marcus is a hard working lawyer, alpha, but does not chase anyone. 

Is she worth the chase?
Is he worth the stay?
“No settling. Only flying.”
I instantly loved Marcus. Literally straight away he was funny and charming. He may come across as a bit of an ass but it’s in that way you’ll love of him more because if it. The more you get to know his character the more you fall in love with him. He is compassionate and helps people even when it affects him. He has a big heart that just adds to his character. He is alpha, he knows what he wants but he does it in that sweet way that you cant help but completely swoon.
“You’re not going anywhere. You’re not running. You’re staying right here with me.”
Amy wasn’t as easy to connect with at first, she was a little difficult in the beginning. She had a rock solid wall around her heart. She pushed away the more Marcus tried to pull her closer but as the story went on and you get her story, the more you dig deeper, you gradually love her. She is really witty and brave. She has just been burned in the past by someone who she should’ve been able to look up to. I loved how she handled herself in some of the situations she was up against.
“Hell, yes, it scared me. Yet, it was a different kind of fear. It wasn’t a sense of pushing away like matching ends of a magnet. It was the fear of falling, of losing control.”
I haven’t actually read the rest in the series so I’m glad this was a standalone and I didn’t feel like I was missing on much. I will definitely be reading the other books because I did like the other characters. There was a couple of stories within this story, it wasn’t just one dimensional. There were characters you will love, ones you will love to get to know more and characters that you will revel in, when they are put back in their place and getting what they deserve! I enjoyed Tia’s style of writing, my favourite kind of writing is when an author directly connects a character and reader through their writing and that’s exactly what Tia Louise done here!

Review

 

When I read the blurb for this book, I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect. It intrigued me, and being a voracious reader of the romance genre, I guess I was thinking that this would be a hard fought battle of the hearts. That the hero of this book would win over his heroine, in true romantic fashion, and off they’d go into the land of happily ever afters, albeit the insanely rich land of HEAs, but still.

Everyone wanted Cedar Reynolds. Everyone wished they were her.”

Perfect. That one word sums up Cedar Reynolds with exquisite accuracy. Her finely honed persona was one crafted painstakingly by Cedar herself and designed to feed and maintain her image as the most feared, respected, envied and admired woman within New York City’s high society scene and beyond. This image was one that Cedar protected ruthlessly, exactingly. Controlling absolutely everything and everyone that even remotely touched her, her precisely managed life or her coveted professional standing, she was always planning and plotting her next move and several moves beyond. Everything, absolutely everything served a purpose. Every word she said, every expression on her face, every move she made was calculated to her advantage or to serve a future purpose. EVERYTHING.

When you’re New York City’s reigning queen, you never walk around with a hair out of place, with a nail chipped, or God forbid, in last season’s clothing.”

Cedar Reynolds was orphaned at the tender age of 18, losing her parents, darlings of the New York City societal pages, in a most horrific way, leaving her to be taken in by a close family friend, multi-billionaire, Harold Feingold. It was Harold who groomed Cedar into the strong, confident and precise woman she was today. Acting as her mentor, Cedar was the closest thing to a confidante that the elusive billionaire had, but even she did not know all of his secrets.

He was perfect. Absolutely perfect.”

Ellis Carrington was orphaned at the age of 5 and the product of the foster care system. Having just completed grad school with his master’s degree two weeks prior to the death of Harold Feingold, he was taken completely by surprise when Mr. Feingold’s attorney pays him an unannounced visit two days after the funeral and delivers some life altering news. Thus begins Ellis’ plunge into the spotlight, into unimaginable wealth, into a life he never dreamed of because it was so unfathomable.

As the heir to Feingold’s empire and as his protégé and quasi-confidante, Ellis and Cedar are thrust together. Cedar sees Ellis’ discomfort, his struggle to find his place, and offers to help him. She proposes mentoring sessions, a crash course on the rich and famous lifestyle, so to speak, and Ellis, completely smitten with and dazzled by Cedar, as well as in desperate need of a friend he can trust just as much as he is in need of the guidance she offers, gratefully accepts her offer.

And so begins the whirlwind romance of Ellis Carrington and Cedar Reynolds…

Everything was calculated. Everything was always calculated.”

Through most of this book, I felt as if I was reading the New York high society version of Mean Girls. This is a dark, twisted, off-the-charts mind-fuck of a tale that absolutely left me wanting a more. The author delivered a devious, wicked, evil story and she did it brilliantly. It left me scratching my head; it left me questioning everything that I had just read; and it left me sitting there with my mouth gaping open and an audible “What the hell?!” bursting from it.

This isn’t a story that you enjoy, this is one that you experience, and that experience for me is definitely worth the 4.5 smooches I’m giving it.

About HARD TO LET GO:

Beckett Murda hates to dwell on the past. But his investigation into the ambush that killed half his Special Forces team and ended his Army career gives him little choice. Just when his team learns how powerful their enemies are, hard-ass Beckett encounters his biggest complication yet—a seductive, feisty Katherine Rixey.

A tough, stubborn prosecutor, Kat visits her brothers’ Hard Ink Tattoo shop following a bad break-up—and finds herself staring down the barrel of a stranger’s gun. Beckett is hard-bodied and sexy as hell, but he’s also the most infuriating man ever. Worse, Kat’s brothers are at war with the criminals her office is investigating. When Kat joins the fight, she lands straight in Beckett’s sights . . . and in his arms. Not to mention their enemies’ crosshairs.

Now Beckett and Kat must set aside their differences to work together, because the only thing sweeter than justice is finding love and never letting go.

 

HARD TO LET GO Excerpt:

    Kat pushed Beckett so that his back rested against the couch as she straddled his lap. She cupped his face in her hands and got up close, her breasts against his chest, her forehead nearly touching his, her soft hair forming a curtain around them. Beckett’s heart beat like a bass drum. She kissed him.

    A soft brush of skin on skin at first, and then a nibbling tug at his bottom lip that made his cock jerk where she sat on him. “I care if you live or die, Beckett. I care, a lot.”

    He swallowed hard as that odd, warm pressure filled his chest again. “Why?” he asked, meeting those too-perceptive jade eyes.

    “You really need me to spell it out?”

    He really fucking did. Beckett nodded.

    Kat kissed him. “Because you’re loyal, protective, and taking time away from your life to help my brother.” Another kiss. Beckett’s hands grasped her hips. “Because you’re smart, strategic, and a genius when it comes to gadgets and fixing things.” Kiss. “Because you keep trying to get Cy to let you pet him.” Kiss. “Because you’re gorgeous and sexy as hell.” Longer kiss. “And you fuck like a god.” Much longer, wetter, hotter kiss. “And because you called me ‘Angel.’”

    Chest full, throat tight, heart pounding, Beckett kissed Kat on a groan, his thoughts struggling to process—to believe—that someone as beautiful and bright and together as Katherine Rixey could see all that in him when he couldn’t see most of it in himself. Hell, not even his parents had seen it.

    Her arms wrapped around his neck and she sucked his tongue deep into her mouth, and Beckett was hard and aching and overwhelmed and more in need of being wanted than at any other moment in his life. And Kat gave that to him in spades. With her kisses. With her touch. With her desperate moans and grinding hips and pleading words. “I want you, Beckett. If we’re here for the night, I want you in me as deep and as hard and as often as you can. For just tonight, I don’t want to think about anything else but you.”

    “Jesus, Kat,” he rasped, banding his arms around her back and pinning her to him. He devoured her mouth, sucked on her neck, bit the soft tendon that led to her shoulder. “I want that, too. But not here.”

    “Why?” she moaned as his hands kneaded at her ass.

    It was the silver lining in the cloud of being stuck here overnight. “Because for once, I finally have you all to myself with no need to hurry. I’m taking you to your bed, stripping you down, and spreading you out just like I said I would.”

About Hard to Let Go:

Beckett Murda hates to dwell on the past. But his investigation into the ambush that killed half his Special Forces team and ended his Army career gives him little choice. Just when his team learns how powerful their enemies are, hard-ass Beckett encounters his biggest complication yet–a seductive, feisty Katherine Rixey.

A tough, stubborn prosecutor, Kat visits her brothers’ Hard Ink Tattoo shop following a bad break-up–and finds herself staring down the barrel of a stranger’s gun. Beckett is hard-bodied and sexy as hell, but he’s also the most infuriating man ever. Worse, Kat’s brothers are at war with the criminals her office is investigating. When Kat joins the fight, she lands straight in Beckett’s sights . . . and in his arms. Not to mention their enemies’ crosshairs.

Now Beckett and Kat must set aside their differences to work together, because the only thing sweeter than justice is finding love and never letting go.

Secured: free from risk of loss, safe; not likely to fail or give way, stable; to guard from danger.

This pull in my chest, the tug of my beating heart, is stronger than it’s ever been. No one could ever compare to Avery. Everything about her makes me only want to experience more, the good and the bad. I’ll take whatever I can get because, as I’ve known from the very beginning, my heart belongs to her.

Why can’t she see it?

My beautiful angel, so filled with doubt and worry. I can feel her fears, but for once in my life, I feel helpless. There’s nothing that I can do that convinces her, nothing that speaks to her. Why can’t she see that she’s more than anything I ever dreamed of, that she’s perfect for me? This is enough.

Doesn’t she see?

I’ve only ever wanted her.

***

My heart races in my chest, pounding out a rhythm all its own. There’s adrenaline pumping all through my veins. It’s surging into my system and making me a nervous wreck.

I’ve waited forever to see my SEAL again. The wait is over, but I’m filled with doubts. Insecurities are hounding me left and right, plaguing me at every turn.

What if I’m not what he remembers, not good enough?

Our time spent in each other’s presence was less than a month. One month isn’t nearly enough time to get to know a person, is it? My head says no, but my heart screams that I know Kreed Jones better than I know myself. He’s spent eighteen long months convincing me of his love, growing my love for him with every letter, every phone call, but is it really enough?

What do we do now that he’s back?

I can’t be a Navy wife. I’m not strong enough, but how can I ask this selfless man to give up a dream, for me? He’s so hard to read. I just want to know where we are heading, what he’s thinking, am I still enough.

Am I still enough?

synopsis1

Tethered: the utmost length to which one can go; a range of allowable behavior; at the end of one’s tether, i.e. at the end of one’s patience or strength.

It’s been two miserable months since I last set my eyes on her gorgeous face, seven months since I’ve heard her voice. Hearing it now, coming from those sweet lips, God, it makes me regret everything, as if I didn’t already.

As if I don’t torture myself for the mistakes I made. Damn it, if I could only take them back! There’s nothing in this world that I wouldn’t give to take them back, to undo the hurt I’ve caused Drew.

As if I could ever forgive myself for the pain.

As if I haven’t spent every single second of my miserable fucking life missing those gorgeous, blue eyes looking at me like I’m a damned god, something to be valued and loved.

I think that’s what I miss the most.

My bright eyes.

***

That face! God, Trevor Rossi haunts my dreams, my every waking second. I see him in strangers in a crowd, in the park, in the supermarket. It’s been so long, a lifetime it seems, but not nearly long enough to forget. I’m not sure an eternity will make me forget the way he made me feel, cherished…adored. There’s nothing in this world that I want more than him. Even now, my entire being is always drawn to that man like a compass to true north, but…

He hurt me.

He didn’t fight for me. Through all the tears and anguish, the singular thing that destroys my soul is that he never even tried. Was giving up on us really so simple for him? After everything we had accomplished, how far we came, was it just a matter of walking away?

He ripped my already broken heart into a thousand shreds, stomping them against the hardwood of the club.

Despite all the wrenching pain, I want him.

My broken love.

synopsis1

Sealed: to conclude, establish, or settle definitively, excluding the possibility of reversal or loss; to decide irrevocably.

I’m leaving the naive, little girl version of myself behind in Pilot’s Point, and good riddance to her. Here, I can be whoever I want, a whole new Avery far removed from the drama of that former self. This one isn’t going to be afraid to take risks and go out on a limb or two. I’m done living in a self-proscribed bubble, always scared of the consequences of a poor decision.

There’s so many new experiences in Baltimore, new people, new places. I’m entranced by everything here from the snow to the men. There is no shortage of hot guys in Baltimore. They say everything is bigger and better in Texas, but I must beg to disagree.

From the moment Kreed Jones touched his soft lips to my hand, his mouth is the only thing my brain wants to concentrate on. Those sweet lips that refused to kiss mine, refused to take advantage, God, I want them. I want them so badly, but…

Trevor Rossi is sexy as sin, and boy, does he ever know! He’s gorgeous; that’s a given. The playboy lifestyle he exudes calls to me, drawing me near the flame. I know I’ll get burned, but would the end be worth one night in his arms? I am uncertain, still firmly on the fence, and after running into my professor, I’m even more confused.

Dr. James Saunders…James, as he insists…is handsome in his tailored suit, and the beautiful soul that shines behind those glasses of his, well, it’s a temptation, for certain. He’s off limits, and I think that’s the appeal. It’s wrong, oh so very, very, wrong. I just can’t seem to convince my mind of it.

These three men keep looking at me like I’m a prize, not the game, and for the first time in my life, I’m free of me. I’m not standing in my way, not anymore.

Tangled Bond by Emma Hart Cover Reveal

We are very excited to share the cover for Tangled Bond book 2 in the Holly Wood files series. Tangled Bond will be releasing
on July 30.

 

 

TangledBond-final-ebooklgOne date with the sexier-than-sin Detective Drake Nash. Simple.

Until you take into account that my brother finally proposed to his girlfriend, so Nonna is on a warpath—and the crazy old bat has Cupid by the balls.

The upcoming mayoral elections has everyone running on full speed, and while I couldn’t give any less craps about the corrupt Holly Woods mayor’s office, a dead body in the middle of a campaign speech has me thrown right into the middle of it. The victim is close to the mayor, but all he cares about is minimizing the damage to his campaign, so he hires me to work alongside Drake to close the case as quickly as possible.

Bad news for our tentative relationship.

We disagree far more than we agree, but being at loggerheads won’t get this murder solved… Or deal with the arrival of someone from his past.

The mysteries behind the murder aren’t the only things unraveling, and despite being knee-deep in lies and corruption and bonds so tangled they’re almost indecipherable, I have to figure out if I’m willing to fight for Drake the way I do justice…

Or if he’ll be my one who gets away.

ADD TO GOODREADS

Photograph cheating spouses. Hand over the evidence. Cash my check.
That was my plan when I returned home to Holly Woods, Texas, and became a private investigator.
Finding the dead body in my dumpster? Yeah… Given the choice, I think I would have opted out of that little discovery, especially since all three of my brothers are cops. And my Italian grandmother is sure the reason I’m single is because of my job.
Of course, my connection to the victim is entirely coincidental. Until I’m hired by her husband to investigate her murder and shoved bang-smack into the path of Detective Drake Nash.
My nemesis, a persistent pain in my ass, and one hell of a sexy son of a bitch.
Shame he still holds a grudge from that time I shot him in the foot twelve years ago, or we could have something. In another life.
So now all I have to do is avoid my nonna’s blind dates, try not to blackmail my brothers into giving me confidential police files, and absolutely do not point my gun at Drake Nash. Or kiss him. Or jump his bones.
All while I hunt down the killer.
Sounds totally simple—until a second body proves that sometimes things that start as coincidences don’t always end up that way…

 

(Twisted Bond is book one of the Holly Woods Files series and while it does not end in a cliffhanger, it is not a standalone.)

ABOUT THE BOOK

Blackballed from her corporate career, Andréa Grayson’s luck at finding suitable employment has run out. Until her sister secretly arranges an interview for Andy with  business mogul, Blake Donovan. The job? Find him a wife. It’s a despicable position, but she can’t turn down the opportunity. It’s the only one she has.

Blake Donovan is rich, successful, and too damn busy to find a suitable wife. He knows Andréa Grayson possesses the skills necessary for the task of matchmaker, even though her sass, confidence, and ambition represent everything he doesn’t want in a woman. Yet, as they work together the smoldering attraction he feels for her can’t be denied.

Check out our 4.5 smooches review HERE.

Excerpt

He caught his date smiling at him over her coffee cup. Her teeth were so perfectly straight and white, it almost seemed unnatural. He wondered if he should attempt conversation again. Drea had suggested, though, that talking about himself was not the best way to attract a woman. Listen to them instead, she’d said, or ordered, rather.

The problem with that advice was that this woman didn’t speak. At all. She hmm’d and ah ha’d, but that was the extent of her conversation. Even when he asked a question, he’d receive only a giggle in response.

She should be the perfect woman—attractive and quiet. And bland.

Maybe he didn’t want a quiet woman after all. Though Andrea argued with him at any chance she got, at least she was entertaining. Often over the last weeks, he’d actually

looked forward to seeing her in his office. Her opinions might be overbearing, but her insight was also usually spot-on.

Andrea also wouldn’t expect him to order for her, as all the other ones did. What was that anyway? A test of some sort? How was he possibly supposed to know what she’d want when he’d never met her before that very evening?

He’d tell Andy about that the next day. She’d get a kick out of it.

Now why did he just refer to her as Andy? Andrea was more suited to her looks. Admittedly, the more he’d gotten to know her, the more Andy seemed to fit her personality. But it was a hell of a lot of fun to see her feathers ruffle when he called her Drea.

The waiter came then to ask if there’d be anything else. “No, just the bill.” Blake said that a little quicker than

he should have. Andrea would have disapproved. “If you would, please,” he added, hoping to soften his obvious anxiousness. Actually, being in charge of the meal meant he could just demand the check like that. This was exactly why he continued to do the ordering for dates.

There. That was better. Andrea would be proud. He was nice-ish, and making sound business decisions.

Blake paid the bill and looked to his date—what was her name again? Sally? Cindy? Cinnamon? No matter, he’d simply leave it out when addressing her. “Are you ready then?”

“Hmm,” she replied.

It had to mean yes since she put her napkin on the table and rose from her seat.

Blake followed, a small smile gracing his lips at finally ending the miserable charade of a meal.

It wasn’t until later—much later—when he was tucked into his bed and he’d completed a chapter in his latest noir detective novel that he realized he’d spent the night

thinking more about his matchmaker than his proposed match.

He needed to get it together.
