No problem, Jenny. I understand ☺
So, this book sounds like it is right up my alley. I have never used smashwords before. Is the code compatible on my Kindle, or some other format? Or, mabye I could just buy the book. Haven't even looked it up yet. Please let me know my options!

Toni, I sent you the code via PM.
Is everyone all set for this one?
yeppers!
I am looking forward to it!
I am so excited ... while I downloaded the book using the code way back when (looks like around 5/29), I had never taken the time to see if I could figure out how to get it on my Kindle. I just now did and was successful! So not only am I excited for this read-along, but it has opened up my world to options within Smashwords now!!! So excited. So much more to read!! Thank you.
I would like to join!
welcome, Beth!
Do you need a copy of the book, Beth?
I am going to try to read this book, but I may not be able to join any discussions.My mother is in ICU recovering from surgery for a brain anerysm (sp?). I have time for reading while in the waiting room but internet access I don't have.
She is stable and improves a little bit every day.
I have started it. Hopefully. I'll finish in time for the discussions!
Melissa - Hope you Mom is doing better. Sending good thoughts to you!

Laura's Big Break, by Janet Elizabeth Henderson
*Winner of the 2013 RWA Gulf Coast, Silken Sands Star Award for contemporary romance*
Laura needs to interview the hero of the moment to keep her new job with a women's magazine. She'd rather stick a fork in her eye. Twelve years have passed since her disastrous one night stand with Charlie and they've barely exchanged two civil words in that time. She calls him the Neanderthal and he calls her The Iron Maiden. If it wasn't for the fact his sister was Laura's best friend, she wouldn't have anything at all to do with him.
Charlie has come back from a stint in Afghanistan with a souvenir - nightmares. After one afternoon arguing with Laura, Charlie makes a wonderful discovery: she's so irritating, she scares away his dreams. So Charlie agrees to give her an interview - at a price. She has to accompany him on a two week cycling holiday in Holland, that way he might actually get the rest he needs. He takes particular delight in the plan because he knows that Laura hates exercise, loathes the outdoors and despises him. It feels good to have the upper hand for a change.
Laura needs an interview. Charlie needs sleep. And they both need to grow up and get over the past. But not before Laura cycles into a canal, sets fire to a tent and posts nude pictures of Charlie on the internet - all with the hope of getting her story.
