Tempting Talk

Publisher: LoveSpark Press
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 329
Book Description
Right guy, wrong place. Extremely wrong place. Mabel Bowen’s the goddess of morning radio, doing a job she loves with her best friend in the world. Why would a goddess bother with men when all they do is threaten her public image and her professional bliss? Everything changes when she meets her station’s new accountant. Not a hotshot neurosurgeon or an Italian supermodel or Ryan Gosling undercover to research a role. A frickin' accountant. Mabel knows dating a coworker’s a terrible idea, but Jake Carey’s meticulous spreadsheets and killer smiles are hard to resist. (So are the muscles hiding under his expensive suits, if she’s being honest.) Before long, their friendly coffees have turned into flirty lunches, then scorching late-night encounters that have Mabel rethinking all her no-romance rules. But when she learns that Jake’s involved in a plan to upend her job, Mabel’s first instinct is to retreat to her safe single life. Is he worth the risk to her heart, or will she end up spinning heartbreak songs yet again? “The right blend of sass and steam. Sara Whitney’s smooth, upbeat prose is a delight to read.” Elle Greco, author of the LA Rock Star Romance series This funny, spicy workplace romance features a demisexual hero who falls first (and falls hard), a "wish she was my bestie" heroine, and the best dang dad band in Beaucoeur, Illinois. Like all of the books in Sara Whitney's Cinnamon Roll Alphas series, Tempting Talk gives you playful banter, upbeat vibes, and a very happy ending.

Between Overs
Author: Michele Savidge
Publisher: eBook Partnership
ISBN: 1801502315
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
The 1970s in the East Midlands was a decade of mediocrity. As a young girl growing up there, Michele Savidge seemed destined for a prosaic life. But everything changed when as a 12-year-old she saw Viv Richards bat. At that moment, she fell in love with Richards and with West Indies cricket. She set her sights on becoming a cricket journalist and realised that dream in spite of the obstacles in her way. Between Overs is an elegiac, often comedic, romp through the trials Michele faced. It includes outrageous 'Me Too' incidents, in-depth appraisals of her hero Viv Richards and a close encounter with actor Peter O'Toole. Births, life, bereavement and depression took her away from the sport she loved. But the 2019 Cricket World Cup, a purple and green polyester tracksuit and the intense climax of the final at Lord's saw the old flame rekindled and taught Michele how to love life - and cricket - again.
