Derek "Irish" Cortell. Badass close protection agent. Sexy, panty-melting smile. Superhero? There's something strange about the men at Reed Security. When socially awkward Claire Grant works up the nerve to talk to Derek in the grocery store, it opens up a whole new world for her in which her fantasies are becoming reality. Yes, she's a librarian. Yes, it's quite possible she's immersed herself in too many books, but her eyes couldn't possibly be deceiving her. Could they? Though Claire and Derek seem to have your typical romance, there is nothing typical about Derek or the people he works with, and soon Claire will find out just how super Derek really is

Claire Grant seems to be checking out more than produce at the grocery store.  She doesn’t seem to be oblivious of what others see.  Derek “Irish” Cortell was in the right place at the right time. He seems too good to be true and seems to fit the role of fantasy pretty well.  It’s very easy to get lost here and not come up for air until you begin to wonder where the time went.

The author takes a truly romantically heated moment and turns it around.  It fit very well into the scene where they’re having a conversation.  She makes it very easy for me to chuckle. She’s created some secondary characters that left me wanting to get to know them better.  One such character was Lola.  She’s a woman with a lot of strength but she also lets us see her pain.  I also got the chance to meet Maggie and that reminded me that I haven’t read her story yet.  Cap is the second book in the Reed Security Series but it’s not really needed to enjoy this book but it is needed for me to catch up on the books I’ve missed.  And a reminder to kick myself that it took me so long to find this series.

There’s a point in the story where Ms. Lagomarsino should be wrapping things up yet she still takes the time to get me to laugh.  In the next second she turns the scene serious.  This all pulls me further into the story and not looking forward to the point where it will come to an end.  But if you think about it, if she doesn’t pull me to an ending than how will I get myself ready for the next book that will be coming out.  And I would have missed out on the perfect ending.

   “Not a chance in hell. I happen to like my hands wrapped around your juicy ass.”

She reared back and looked at me in horror. “You think my ass is juicy?”

   “Uh, you’ve seen it, right? It’s big and perfect for me to grab onto.”

She struggled to get down and then pushed me away and stalked out of the water. “I can’t believe you just said my ass was big,” she yelled over her shoulder.

   I stood there a minute trying to figure out what the hell I said that was so wrong. She had the most gorgeous ass I’d ever seen. Didn’t all girls want a big ass like that Kardashian woman? I ran after her and gripped onto her arm, swinging her around to see me.

   “I like that your ass is big.”

   She burst into tears and I stood there with wide eyes, wondering what I was supposed to do. There was a reason I didn’t date women. I didn’t know what the hell to say to them on the best of days. Sex was easy. Please them and they’ll be screaming your name the whole night. This…this was totally foreign to me.

   “Having a big ass is a good thing. Men like to know they have something to grab onto. Besides, we want to know that you’re sturdy enough that we won’t break you when we fuck you.”

   She looked up at me through her tears and cried even harder. “So, now I’m sturdy? Like a tree? Next thing, you’re going to tell me I have big thighs.”

   “Big? No, definitely not big. They’re thick and muscular.”

   “Thick?” She spun away from me and ran for the beach blanket, grabbing her stuff and throwing it in her bag.

   “I like that you’re not a stick,” I said, trying to fix this before I totally fucked up the rest of our day. “If I wanted a model, I would go find one. But those women are all beauty and no brains.”

   She sniffed and wiped at her face. “Well, I’m glad to know that I’m thick like a tree, I have a big ass, and apparently I don’t have beauty, but I have brains.”

  

I'm a stay at home mom that loves to read. Some of my favorite titles are Pride and Prejudice, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Horatio Hornblower. I started writing when I was trying to come up with suggestions on ways I could help bring in some extra money. I came up with the idea that I could donate plasma because you could earn an extra $500/month. My husband responded with, "No. Find something else. Write a blog. Write a book." I didn't think I had anything to share on blog that a thousand other mothers hadn't already thought of. I decided to take his challenge seriously and sat down to write my first book, Jack. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed writing. From there, the stories continued to flow and I haven't been able to stop. I hope my readers enjoy my books as much as I enjoy writing them. Between reading, writing, and taking care of three small kids, my days are quite full.
