BOOK SUMMARY:

Carmyn Rafferty witnessed the aftermath of her mother's affair. She learned at a young age not to trust anyone. Especially not your spouse. So she's planned. She's planned every detail of her life: who her husband will be, what their careers will be, what their lives will be like. All to avoid the pain of infidelity.

Dallas Brown lives a life all his own. He doesn't do relationships, he doesn't care what anyone thinks of him, and he doesn't live up to anyone's expectations but his own. 

When Carmyn's fiancé cheats on her, it sends her into a whirlwind of one-night stands with the most infamous player on campus. She can't seem to stay away from this tough guy and his dangerous motorcycle. Everything about him is the complete opposite of who she'd planned to fall in love with: tattoos, dark stubble along his jawline, and hair that brushes his shoulders.

As Dallas and Carmyn begin to fall deeper and deeper into each other, they learn that love can truly be a wicked, wicked thing.

Dirty Trick by Christine Bell

So, I spent most of my day reading Dirty Trick by Christine Bell. Which happens to be the first in Bell's newest series Perfectly Matched. Basically it's about two friends, Grace and Serena, who own a matchmaking company in Salem, MA.

Dirty Trick starts off right before the biggest Halloween Party of the year. Grace basically gets dump before the party and now she's dateless.

Trick has been in love with Grace since the first moment they met, but he wasn't really ready for a relationship. So, all Grace saw was the playboy side and didn't believe he would change. She figure it would be best to keep them at the friend level. During their friendship, Trick decided to grow-up and want a real relationship with Grace. Somehow, Grace didn't notice Trick had change. Man that gotta suck for him. So, he figure it would be a good idea to let Grace see him differently and try to win her over using a disguise. When will guys learn?

I actually like these two characters, because they really pack some heat when they are together. Grace is a vulnerable woman who is naïve at times. Plus, he's afraid to let Trick into her heart, because she's afraid to get burned again. The last guy did a doozy on her, so she doesn't really trust her instincts when it comes to guys. Yes, Trick was a player, but he really wanted to get with Grace. So, he cleaned up his act. Honestly, that's really sweet.

Overall, I enjoyed Dirty Trick. Yes, Trick was an idiot the way he went about to get past the friendship wall. Still, the guy had to do what a guy has to do to get what he wants. Plus, Grace put up some serious walls to protect her heart. Basically Dirty Trick is a hot steamy read with a sappy ending. So, if you are looking for some steam with a dash of sweet, you might like Dirty Trick.

Top 10 Females

As I visit blogs, talking about my new release, Out Of Line, I like to think of other characters that have struck a chord within me. Floating around the internet is a post that has my favorite TV males on it. I’d be remiss if I didn’t do one for my favorite females, too, right?

Some of these women’s traits pop into my characters, whether it be physical or they way they act when they see a spider, but here are my top 10 favorite female characters to watch. (Character names listed)

Kenzie (Daniela Ruah) NCIS: LA

1. Kenzie on NCIS:LA. I love how she’s strong, independent, yet caring and squishy inside. She’s got it all! I like to think there’s a little bit of her in Carrie, from Out Of Line.

2. Beckett on Castle. I love, again her strength in the police force, blended with her soft heart.

Max (Kat Dennings) Two Broke Girls

3. Max on Two Broke Girls, just because I love her dry sense of humor.

4. Jess on The New Girl. I love her quirkiness and her I-Don’t-Care attitude.

Caroline (Candice Accolla) Vampire Diaries

5. Caroline on Vampire Diaries. She’s such a fun character to watch evolve. Started out kind of a mean girl, then turned into 

what she is today.

6. Snow on Once Upon a Time. I love watching her every week.

7. Gloria on Modern Family. Man, she’s hilarious with her mentions of how things were back home.

8. Mary on Downton Abbey. I can’t wait to see which side of Mary we’ll see this season.

9. Joan Watson on Elementary. I love seeing that role revamped as a woman.

10. And last, but not least, Robin on How I Met Your Mother. She’s such a non-girly girl, yet a girl at the same time.

So, there you have it, my favorite women to watch. What are some of yours? Do they match up with mine?

BOOK SUMMARY:

Desperate to break free…

I've spent my entire life under my father’s thumb, but now I'm finally free to make my own choices. When my roommate dragged me to my first college party, I met Finn Coram and my life turned inside out. He knows how to break the rules and is everything I never knew I wanted. A Marine by day and surfer by night, he pushes me away even as our attraction brings us closer. Now I am finally free to do whatever I want. I know what I want. I choose Finn. 

Trying to play by the rules...

I always follow orders. My job, my life, depends on it. I thought this job would be easy, all the rules were made crystal clear, but when I met Carrie Wallington, everything got muddy. She's a rule I know I shouldn't break, but damn if I don’t inch closer to the breaking point each time I see her. I’m ready to step out of line. And even worse? I’m living a lie. They say the truth will set you free, but in my case…

The truth will cost me everything.
