Recommended Read: Underneath It All by Kate Canterbary
I just looked around and realized it’s been over a month of radio silence around here. Let’s just say that December was busy with a variety of projects, plus the usual seasonal activities with out-of-town family visiting, sledding to do, and snowmen to build. Then the whole family came down with the worst cold in America starting New Year’s Eve. I actually managed to do quite a bit of work before it caught me. The baby wouldn’t let me put him down for anything, and I do most of my work with him wrapped and sleeping on me. Sick babies take lots of naps. But, eventually I got dragged under and spent the better part of a week drowning in my own snot (TMI? Sorry). I’m still coughing and sniffling more than normal, but mostly back to my usual self, and have even managed to crawl back into the writing cave for the first time in weeks.
I have been doing lots of reading. One of my recent discoveries is today’s
Recommended Read
Here’s the official blurb:
One hot architect. One naughty schoolteacher. One crazy night that changes everything.
If I had known I’d have a hot architect balls deep inside of me before the end of the weekend, I’d have made time for a pedicure. Also, a little chat about not losing my shit at all the wrong moments.
Hindsight was a bitch, and karma…well, I didn’t know her story yet.
Meet Lauren Halsted.
It’s all the little things—the action plans, the long-kept promises—that started falling apart when my life slipped into controlled chaos.
After I fell ass-over-elbow into Matthew Walsh’s arms.
I couldn’t decide whether I wanted to run screaming or rip his pants off, and most days I wanted a little of both. If I was being honest with myself, it was rip his pants off, ride him like a workhorse, and then run screaming.
Meet Matthew Walsh.
A rebellious streak ran through Lauren Halsted. It was fierce and unrelentingly beautiful, and woven through too many good girl layers to count, and she wasn’t letting anyone tell her what to do.
Unless, of course, she was naked.
She wasn’t looking for me and I sure as shit wasn’t looking for her, but we found each other anyway and now we were locked in a battle of wills, waiting for the other to blink.
Sometimes the universe conspires to bring people together. Other times, it throws them down a flight of stairs and leaves them in a bruised and bloodied heap.
The actual experience of reading it was even better than the blurb. The characters are well written and draw you in, even the secondary characters. Of course, I think almost all of the secondary characters get their own story at some point, so it makes sense to have them well-rounded from the beginning. Still. They’re great.
And the steamy scenes melt the page. So good.
I managed to get this as a freebie, but it is so worth more than the measly $.99 that it’s available for (it’s also free in Kindle Unlimited). I haven’t read the rest of the books in the series yet, but I fully intend to. Soon.
Have you read Underneath It All yet? What are you waiting for? What good books have you read lately? Even though my TBR list is probably longer than what I could read in a lifetime, I’m always adding more.
Other News
I made mention above about some other projects. One is an app that I’m writing for called Sequel. It’s not available yet, but should be sometime in the first quarter of 2016. It’s a cool thing and I’m excited about it. I’ll definitely let you guys know when you can check it out.
Rebound Envy, the second novella in my Rebound series will be available on January 26, 2016. If you’re a member of my book club, you’ll get an advanced copy, so keep your eyes peeled for that. This weekend I’ll be looking for opinions on the cover for that. That’ll go up on Saturday. Please take the time to come weigh in with your opinion. The more the merrier!
