I think my favorite thing about the novel is how awful the hero is, and for how long. The heroine describes one day cruises to the bahamas him as a penis, and he really is. He s just terrible. Jason Andrews is a big-deal movie star, and he s a conceited, condescending, arrogant, privileged, manipulative, woman-using asshole. He s such a colossal wanker, actually, that it takes some doing for James to sell the romance at all, but she s very deft about it, and in the end I completely bought what she was selling not because I was convinced that these characters had fixed each other and ironed out their flaws forevermore, but because I believed that they d keep arguing and making each other laugh and growing their way toward happy-ever-after in the years to come.
Plus, it was really funny. It s kind of a silly book, set in Los Angeles against a Hollywood backdrop, with a few clubbing scenes and some girl-shopping-time, a red-carpet premiere, one day cruises to the bahamas a charity ball. Lots of paparazzi. All stuff that would normally not necessarily appeal to me, but the heroine is grounded and smart and snarky one day cruises to the bahamas about it all, which makes her a great everywoman for this plot, and she totally won me over.
Nothing fazes Taylor Donovan. In the courtroom, she never lets the opposition see her sweat. In her personal life, she never lets any man rattle her not even her cheating ex-fiancé. So when she s assigned to coach People s Sexiest Man Alive for his role in his next big legal thriller, she refuses to fall for the Hollywood heartthrob s charms. Even if he is the Jason Andrews.
Jason Andrews is used to having women fall at his feet. When Taylor Donovan gives him the cold shoulder, he s thrown for a loop. She s unlike any other woman he s ever met: uninterested in the limelight, seemingly one day cruises to the bahamas immune to his advances, and shockingly one day cruises to the bahamas capable of saying no to him. She s the perfect challenge. And the more she rejects him, the more he begins to realize she may just be his perfect one day cruises to the bahamas match.
In addition, every participating site will have its own prize(s). I m giving away a copy of Just the Sexiest Man Alive (any format), as well as three ebook copies of my January 28 release, How To Misbehave , which involves a good girl who s more innocent one day cruises to the bahamas than she d like to be, a bad boy who s trying to be good, a tornado siren, and a very dark basement. (Also, there s lots of romance and jokes, plus some angsty depth. Lest that description make it sound like a porn movie. one day cruises to the bahamas Which it is not.)

Sounds one day cruises to the bahamas like a great book and of course one day cruises to the bahamas I m looking forward to yours! The craziest thing? Not sure if it s crazy, but while I was doing summer one day cruises to the bahamas study abroad in Vienna in college, I bought yarn and knitted a whole sweater for this guy I was crushing on BAD in my class back home. I never got the nerve to give it to him though. I still have it. And it would ve gone perfect with his coloring.
I have faked having one day cruises to the bahamas a horrible migraine to get out of going to a family reunion (my husbands) not mine so I could stay in bed all day and read. Oh and the one time I actually I went back to my home stat of Ohio with my mom, brother and niece (not by my choice but that is another story) who all drive me absolutely crazy I said I had to work all day while they went out and about when in actuality the work I really had to do took about 30 minutes and so I could stay in and read the rest of the day! Damn I sound terrible but it was the best day of the trip!
In college, I dated a 200 lb outside linebacker who majored in literature and wrote me poems in perfect iambic pentameter and sent me short stories to critique. One night, we started out strolling around one day cruises to the bahamas campus admiring the stars. Before I knew it, we were having hot sex in the end zone of the football field. Touchdown!
Once, when I had just begun dating my 6 6 husband and we were sickeningly crazily stupidly unable to show any discipline at all, he went down on me in the passenger seat of my tiny Subaru. We were parked in the West Palm airport parking one day cruises to the bahamas lot in the middle of the day. I pulled my jacket over my face in case the people whose car was parked next to mine appeared. I still don t know how we managed the logistics.
Whilst at university I lived with a member of the Uni Rugby team. His best mate was just beautiful on numerous occasions popped in for coffee. At my Christmas Ball I was merrily getting drunk on vodka when all 6ft 2 of him appeared from behind the curtain on the stage upon which a massive Christmas tree sat. I m ashamed to say in it can only be due the vodka I marched/staggered on up to the stage snook behind the tree. The man was stood there. The next 15 minutes one day cruises to the bahamas of my life where a drunken fumbling blur however it must of raised the attentions of a tutor who caught us, in the escape we proceeded to crash into tree, it rocked, various decorations fell off it, I grabbed one (was a massive cherub) ran, fell across the stage with rugby following and ran out the building. I still have the cherub.
In our previous house the only room in it that has a lock on it was the one and only bathroom. I once locked myself in there for a couple of hours so that I could finish a book. Sat there on the toilet lid with my feet propped up on the tub .
