Posted March 27, 2016 by Rowena in Features, Giveaways | 10 Comments

Sunday Spotlight is a new feature we’re running in 2016. Each week, we will spotlight a release that we’re excited about. We’ll be posting exclusive excerpts and being total fangirls. You’ve been warned. 🙂

Sunday Spotlight

Kylie Scott is another author that I’ve heard tons of great things about and haven’t tried yet. I really want to read her stuff, I just haven’t gotten around to it but that stops with this book because I’m seriously stoked to dig into this one.

AMAZON || BARNES AND NOBLE || KOBO

The last thing Vaughan Hewson expects to find when he returns to his childhood home is a broken hearted bride in his shower, let alone the drama and chaos that comes with her.

Lydia Green doesn’t know whether to burn down the church or sit and cry in a corner. Discovering the love of your life is having an affair on your wedding day is bad enough. Finding out it’s with his best man is another thing all together. She narrowly escapes tying the knot and meets Vaughan only hours later.

Vaughan is the exact opposite of the picture perfect, respected businessman she thought she’d marry. This former musician-turned-bartender is rough around the edges and unsettled. But she already tried Mr. Right and discovered he’s all wrong-maybe it’s time to give Mr. Right Now a chance.

After all, what’s wrong with getting dirty?

Ha! This one is a short but hilarious excerpt. I can already guess how awesome this book is going to be.

Excerpt

Heavy footsteps roused me from my stupor. I don’t know how long exactly I’d been sitting in the bathtub, staring off at nothing, pondering the catastrophe my life had become. Couldn’t have been too long since sunlight still lit the room.

The footsteps came closer and closer. And then they entered the room. Oh, shit. I froze, not even daring to breathe. There was a loud yawn, followed by the cracking of joints. Then a large hand reached in beside the closed shower curtain and turned on the tap. A torrent of ice cold water poured down. It was like a billion itty-bitty knives stabbing at my skin. All of the scratches and raw patches from earlier stung like shit. I gritted my teeth, shoulders hiked up to around my ears as if that would provide any protection.

Yep, I sat there, all huddled up, listening to the man take a leak.

Awesome. Just plain awesome.

Wasn’t like I could jump out and interrupt the man midflow. And say what? I knew this was not a good situation to get caught in.

1. I’d basically broken into this guy’s house.

2. And had then gone on making myself right at home, having a messy emotional breakdown in his bathtub.

Normal, rational people didn’t do this sort of thing. I didn’t even have a criminal record, had never particularly done anything outlandish or interesting until now. This was all Chris’s fault, the bastard. I’d just have to make the best of it and hope this guy had a sense of humor.

Haha, she broke into his house and sat in his bathtub and then he turns the shower on and she just sits there some more? Oh man, I can’t wait to find out what happens next.

    Already got 2 books that I was looking forward to –
    Marked in flesh by Anne Bishop
    Fire Touched by Patricia Briggs

    • Anne Bishop is another author that I keep hearing good things about but haven’t ever gotten around to trying. Must fix that.

    This is absolutely at the top of my wish list for Aprll. I loved the Stage Dive series and I can’t wait to start the new series.

    • I finished reading this book last week and really enjoyed it. I have yet to start the Stage Dive series (though he came highly recommended from friends) and after reading Dirty and getting a small taste of Mal, I’m so putting the Stage Dive series at the top of my TBR list for April!

  3. That excerpt hahaha… Okay so Jill Shalvis has a new book coming out, Lauren Layne has a new one… Cassandra Clare… uhm so many books so little time… Patricia Briggs 😀
