Currently Reading: Finished The Truth About Lord Stoneville and loved it! There's a sneak peek at Jarret's story at the back, and I don't think I've read it either. I know I've read Miranda, Gabe, and Celia's stories, so once I read J's, the series will be complete. Recommended Read:) Began Jackie Collins' Goddess of Vengeance. E-book-wise, I'm still on Waking Up Married.
The awesome Dawn Domonique strikes again! I've never had to ask her to change anything, except for one of Kenzie's covers. Love how she 'gets' it the first time around!
(drum roll) Book #7 in the Arbor U s series:
Blurb:
What happens when your roommates are pencil-slim without trying, and you gain a dress size by looking at chocolate? Susan Best struggles with her self-esteem after a bad break up. She diets in the wrong manner, and soon it's almost out of control. When love sneaks up on her, can she accept the truth her man loves her, not the number on her clothes?
Travis Freeman was instrumental in jump-starting Susan’s singing career. But he didn’t count on the dark side of being in the spotlight, and stands by helpless as the woman he loves spirals out of control. But after alerting her friends to the problem, he risks losing her altogether.
Jamie watched his identical twin brother Rob break Susan’s heart. Thrilled by the fact their friendship is rekindled, he appoints himself her personal body guard during their summer job. But when he kisses her, is she picturing his brother?
Excerpt:
“Want to go
back and catch the last flick?”
She rolled on
her back and stretched. Her eyes fluttered open when he turned on the small
desk lamp, then realized the blankets were around her waist.
“What?” She
pulled the covers up to her neck, wondering how long he’d been staring at her
bare torso. “You turned the light on.”
“Yeah.”
Sitting on the bed beside her, he tugged on the sheet and slipped his hand
inside to touch her skin. Susan sat up and kissed him, then jumped when he
pulled the covers away. “God, Su. Oh honey, you’re perfect.” His open mouth
found her nipples again, and she settled back into the pillows.
She protested
while her body quivered for more. “I thought you wanted to watch Terminator.”
“We’ll rent
the damn thing. Oh God, Su.” His hands traced her ribs.
Susan arched
her back to give him more access and tensed, still caught up in that dreamlike
area between sleep and wakefulness. She didn’t object when his fingers slid
into the waistband of the sweat pants or when he settled himself into the
cradle of her hips. His hips moved against hers in a light pressure, and she took
a sharp intake of breath. He began a steady rhythm, rocking against her. Susan
began to match it move for move. He worked a hand between them, and she jumped.
“Travis, no.”
“It’s okay.
Let me do this.”
“Travis,
stop!” She put her hands on either side of his face. “Please, stop?”
He groaned
and rolled to lie beside her, panting. “I’m so close. I’m sorry. ” He freed
himself from the constraints of his underwear. “Grab a tissue, please?”
Susan handed the
box to him, and he spilled his essence into a handful of tissues.
“Yuck!” Both
curious and appalled at the same time, she didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
She’d seen Travis naked and masturbating with the lights on.
Oh God, what have I done? What have I done? She covered her eyes with her hands.
Travis’ arms went
around her, but she refused to respond to his kisses on her jaw.
“What is it,
Su? Are you mad at me or something?”
“I can’t
believe you did that.”
“We didn’t do
anything wrong.”
“I know
that.” She lowered her hands to his chest. “But, you were hanging out, and‒and,
you‒you did that‒that stuff on
yourself! Is that what sperm looks like?”
Travis
smoothed her hair. “I couldn’t control myself. And that stuff, as you put it, has to go somewhere. I’ll be glad to show you
some alternatives of where to put it.”

Edit Update:
Finished the 3rd round on Tuesday and emailed them back. She may want me to add just a bit more to some of the transitions, and I found a spacing error earlier, but that's an easy fix. I'll most likely get it back this weekend.
Writing Again!
I've had two stories swirling in my head the last month (no, neither of which has anything to do with AU; I think this is Kenzie's attempt to take over the brain again, ha ha!), and yesterday began writing down one of them. Got a page written before I ran out of time, so we'll see where this takes me.
Come back tomorrow for memories of July 1993:)
