Hubs and I, who co-author Erotic Romance for Two, Three or More
under our pen name, Adriana Kraft, are launching our new indie-pub imprint,
B&B Publishing, with this release, and are we ever excited. Going indie
feels like a bold move for us, and Kitty Paige is the perfect bold heroine to
match. She probably goes places I’d never venture, actually.
We’ve had a lot of fun chatting with
readers about this bad-girl heroine. We knew she was trouble the moment we
“met” her and she insisted on opening our novel in a compromising position with
an inappropriate partner. That might not be the easiest place to start a book,
but once we got started there was no turning back, and she (and our hero, Jared
Jacobs) have led us on a very wild and sizzling chase we think readers will
enjoy. We know we did.
REVIEW:
Five Stars: I loved Kitty and Jared. Both are strong willed characters who
will not run from their attraction. Both expect a short but passionate affair,
but their plans are upset when their emotions become involved. Watching
them both fight their feelings made their capitulation so much sweeter.… THE
BEST MAN is excellent. Sheila, Shelfari and Amazon
BLURB
Passionate, hard working and every
inch a business woman, Chicago realtor Kitty Paige likes her sex raw and edgy,
and sees no reason to limit herself to just one man. Never married and not
quite forty, the striking blonde has successfully raised her daughter, Susan,
and is already pushing her new-found freedom to the limits.
Wealthy commodities middle-man and
race horse owner Jared Jacobs is father of the best man at Susan’s wedding. He
is smitten by the vision in yellow who exudes sex as she escorts her daughter
down the aisle. Also single, the handsome mustached California ranch owner with
mischievous eyes views his sex life as a series of splendid love affairs, and
sets out to make Kitty next on the list.
Together and apart, their chemistry
is explosive, and their sparkling repartee and steamy sex catch both partners
by surprise. Jared is first to recognize he’s fallen in love. When Kitty
panics, can Jared finesse his every move and reel her in?
EXCERPT
Leaning
against the banquet room wall, Jared Jacobs surreptitiously studied his prey
one more time. The tall shapely blonde in the canary yellow dress and yellow
stilettos had drawn his attention from the moment he’d seen her walking her
daughter down the aisle.
She’d
escorted the bride with her chin up and with a satisfied smile on her ruby
lips. Apparently she and her daughter didn’t mind thumbing their noses at
custom. Unlike many mothers of the bride he’d seen, this one did not carry a
Kleenex in her hand. She probably didn’t have any in her tiny clutch purse,
either. Tears wouldn’t come naturally to the fair-skinned female exuding
confidence at the chapel and here at the reception.
She
appeared to laugh easily enough with acquaintances at the table where she was
seated. But a careful observer would note that her laughter seldom reached her
eyes. Like him, she was a sharp observer. She’d assessed everyone in the room,
particularly the men. When her gaze had settled on his from across the room,
she’d lingered ever so briefly before moving her attention to the person
standing next to him.
The small band began to play in earnest.
Considerable banter and movement was occurring at the head table, where the
groom helped his bride to her feet. Jared smiled. The traditional first dance
was about to begin.
He
glanced back at the woman in yellow. Why hadn’t she sat at the head table along
with the wedding party and the groom’s parents? He liked a woman who did things
her way—to a point. He welcomed a challenge of most any kind. He had little
doubt the woman in yellow would be a challenge.
No
one had bothered to introduce him to the mother of the bride. He’d made a point
to find out what he could about her. Kitty Paige lived in Chicago. Never
married, she’d raised her daughter by herself. To her credit, Susan had done
well in school, in her profession and now in marriage. Her mother had little
formal education beyond high school and apparently had no need for a husband.
She certainly had no need for a husband’s second income. According to his
sources, Kitty Paige was acknowledged, grudgingly by some, as one of the top
ten most successful realtors in the Chicago area, specializing in high end
residential and commercial properties. She could likely buy and sell anyone in
the room.
He smiled
to himself. Well, most anyone. Jared combed his narrow mustache with his
fingers and pushed away from the wall. The dance floor was already getting
crowded.
