Excerpt
Two:
“I take care of myself. I don’t need someone to take care of
me,” Erin said.
Will ran a thumb across her pouty bottom lip. He didn’t
doubt that she believed it. That stubborn tilt to her jaw said she was
independent and self-reliant. She was tough, and strong, and he wouldn’t want
her any other way. But God, he just wanted to hold her and care for her for a
change.
“Not tonight.”
Her eyes widened at the contact of his fingers along her
cheek.
“No?” Her voice dropped to a husky whisper.
“I’m going to kiss you,” he whispered.
Her eyes widened and her lips parted in a small smile. “You
are?”
He stroked her hair again, then through the strands until
his hand was at the back of her neck.
“And then, I’m going to push that indecent dress up just a
little higher, and see what you wore for me tonight,” he said, feeling her
heart beat under his fingers.
She swallowed and started to reach for him, but he stilled
her hand, covering it with his. He shifted so he could pull her closer.
“I know it’s something sexy,” he breathed into her neck,
then pressed his lips against the soft skin below her ear. “Lace? Silk?”
Her breath escaped in a rush as he ran his hand down her
body, over the curves that had been tempting him all night. His fingers played
with the hem of the short dress and Erin shifted as his hand moved under the
fabric and across soft, warm skin. His hands roamed higher, up the back of her
legs, along the curve there and moving higher still.
His mouth went dry as he realized the lace and silk he was
reaching for wasn’t there. Instead, his fingers brushed her soft, hot core,
making her squirm against his hand.
“Jesus, Erin,” he breathed.
My review
I really enjoyed this book, probably more then I thought I would. Not that I didn't think I would like it, if I thought I wasn't going to like it I wouldn't have chosen to read it. But anyway, this book caught me in its clutches with in a few paragraphs instead of pages. I immediately started liking or hating characters as soon as they were introduced, I like that in a book. I love to cheer for the good and boo the bad guys. I like the suspense and drama, as well as the love at first sight more or less aspect of the story. I also love that I was laughing out loud in a few parts. This really is a very good book. The story flowed nicely and I did not want to put it down, I actually stayed up until 2 AM reading it.
I am not going to say to much about the story , don't want to blow it for anyone. The main characters are Erin Grady who is a ER nurse at Lost Coast Harbor Hospital, and Will Patton who is a lawyer sent to Lost Coast Harbor to expose the dirty police force. The Chief of Police just happens to be Erin's father. Erin and her Father are by no means close. Erin is trying to fulfill her dreams of opening a clinic. Will is trying to expose the dirty police force and get back out of this hole in the wall town. That's all you get to know. Read the book!!!

AUTHOR Bio and Links:
Like so many
good ideas, Lost Coast Harbor was inspired by a few rounds of margaritas. One
sunny afternoon, Lily Danes and Eve Kincaid went to a Mexican restaurant for
snacks and tequila and left with the idea for a new series. Inspired by their
love of noir movies and 1940s crime novels, they imagined a gritty small town
full of crime and corruption, where intrigue and mystery can lead to love and
passion.
Eve Kincaid is
a lapsed lawyer who decided that fictional crime was more fun than the real
deal. When she’s not writing about mysterious women and the dangerous and sexy
men who love them, she’s probably shopping for books, lipstick, or imported
cheeses to complement a nice California pinot noir.

hear from you. Just don’t be creepy about it.
