JUNE, 2019 RUNAWAY LOVE STORY By: Sadira Stone The Plot: Fierce passion or long-cherished dreams...she can‘t hang onto both. Chasing a big-city art gallery job, Lau- rel detours to Eugene, Oregon to help her spitfire great aunt into assisted living. While on a run, she‘s harassed by a group of teens until a tall, broad-shouldered hottie rescues her by pretending to be her boyfriend—with a kiss that makes her wish it were true. But she‘s only passing through. Their fierce chemistry burns up the sheets—and the couch, the shower, the woods...but falling in love could cost Laurel more than she‘s willing to sacrifice. She can‘t stay in Eugene, and he can‘t leave. His only hope is to convince her those big- city lights have nothing on her inner sparkle. ***** Goodreads Review by Laney Kaye: “…the char- acterization is so excellent, and the scene-setting so vivid, I‘d say this veers to being Women‘s Fiction. Okay so, really HOT women‘s fiction, because-those sex scenes!!‖ *Fans self.* An Excerpt ―I‘m sorry she called you the S word.‖ ―Huh?‖ ―Sensible.‖ She laughed. ―Yeah. That‘s a curse word, as far as I‘m con- cerned.‖ She leaned her head on his shoulder. ―I‘ll strike it from my vocabulary. Your S word is sparkle.‖ He traced her jawline with a feather-light touch. ―Look at you, Laurel. You‘re blinding.‖ His twilight-blue gaze made her heart dance—a steamy tango with swirls and dangerous dips. He kissed her, and, for a moment, she forgot all about caution, about cut- ting things off before they became too serious, about San Fran- cisco. Her focus narrowed to his lips on hers, his nearness heat- ing her whole body, opening her like a blossom, soft and willing. Ripe for the plucking.
