The Book
Release Date: 19 January 2015
Ever since her former roommates deserted her, Meg has had to share an apartment with a lazy, obnoxious ass. He won’t pick up after himself, and he refuses to get a good job. Plus, he doesn’t always wear enough clothes—which is really a problem, because he’s hot.Maybe he’s occasionally funny. And every now and then he can be sweet. But mostly he’s just annoying. It doesn’t matter how much he’s starting to flirt with her—Meg is going to resist. She’s way too smart to fall for a guy who never takes anything seriously.
But then everything changes in only one night…
EXCERPT
“What’s the matter?” East asked in a
different tone. He was still studying her face, and he seemed to see a lot more
than he should, despite his lazy insouciance.
“Nothing,” she snapped, annoyed mostly
at herself for being bothered so much at the thought of moving out. Her eyes
dipped down again to discover that he was a little more erect than he’d been
before. In response to the hot flash she felt, she added, “Would you mind
putting that thing away?” She waved in the general direction of his groin,
carefully keeping her gaze from settling there again.
He glanced down, as if surprised. Then
he gave her a hot grin. “Where would you like me to put it?”
“Put it behind a towel or something.”
“And have a little respect. He’s not an
‘it’, you know.”
She had to choke back a laugh at his
exaggeratedly aggrieved tone. “It’s a ‘he,’ is it? Does he have a name?”
“Of course.” East glanced down at
himself and then back up to her face. “His name is South.”
There was no way Meg could hide the
ripple of laughter at this ironic tone. She could see that East was smiling, as
if he was pleased he’d amused her so much.
“Well, would you please put South away?
Normal people don’t parade around naked, you know.”
“You’re the one who barged in here.” He
was still smiling, but he wrapped his towel around his waist, hiding the part
in question.
“And I don’t even want to know what you
were doing in here on your own with a hard-on.” To hide her embarrassment as it
hit home that she was with East naked, she made her voice even dryer than
normal.
He chuckled again. “I was thinking
about you, of course. And then you came in wearing nothing but my t-shirt and
messy hair, looking like a wet dream, so it’s like my fantasies came to life.”
**My thanks to the author for providing me with a free copy for an honest review**
A very fast-paced novella where house-mates become an item after one night; where both have been lusting over the other for the last three months and have been trying to ignore their rising feelings.
Meg is a smart women but she often lets her head rule her heart and therefore, although her body and her heart would love to get together with her flat-mate her head will not allow it.
East has no job, doesn't seem to take anything seriously and he is a slob. Meg is sure he has a girlfriend and as her has been mostly absent during the nights assumes that East is staying over.
One night together however changes everything. Meg especially gets a wake up call and see's more in East than first appeared, however as the morning comes her head interferes and things go downhill until East gets her on the right track.
Being a novella we can be assured of a happy ending and of well meaning friends who give a push in the right direction.
