Release Day: The Truth As He Knows It
It's finally here! This is the book that I was calling "The Big Book O Angst" on Twitter last year while I was writing it. And from the reviews I'm seeing so far (THANK YOU), it was aptly nicknamed. I've been told by a few bloggers that the book should come with a complimentary box of tissues. *grin*
So if you're looking for a light, happy read, maybe save this book for later. If you're in the mood for something angsty, emotional, but still with an HEA, give it a go. And if you're so inclined, leave a review someplace.
Lies are the chains that keep you weighed down at rock bottom.
Officer Noel Carlson isn’t out to anyone in small-town Stratton, Pennsylvania, only to distant friends and family, so a relationship is out of the question. That doesn’t stop him from wanting one, though.
When a night-shift call brings him face to thonged butt with a hired stripper whose girl-party gig went terribly wrong, Noel takes pity on the guy and lets him go. But he can’t get the encounter out of his mind.
Shane has big-time debts to repay, especially to the brother who sacrificed nearly everything for him. His two jobs, in a deli and as a stripper, leave him no time for a social life. But a non-date of hot sex and takeout food with Noel? He can squeeze that in.
The bond they form is stronger than either expected or wanted. Especially since the step Shane’s about to take to put his brother—and his soul—back in the black isn’t quite legal. And he never calculated just how much his determination to make things right will cost him in the end.

I'm reading now, and I HAVE to ask- are you from the Boston area? Or the deep south? It must be one or another but I'm leaning towards Boston. You just wrote something so Bostonian in your book!
I'm actually from the mid-Atlantic. I grew up in Delaware and now I live on Maryland's eastern shore.What was Bostonian? I'm curious. :)

Hmm, interesting. You called a liquor store a package store, something I've only heard at college in Boston. I'm from the mid-atlantic region too and I've never heard anyone say that here!

Interesting. It's the term that was used when I went to college in Pennsylvania. We don't call them that in MD or DE. In PA, liquor is sold in state stores and beer is sold in separate package stores. It's weird.
