Just Because...
It's Friday! My kids have had a great first week of school AND it's a 3 day weekend. If those aren't reasons enough to have a giveaway then I don't know what is. So, if you're reading this then you're one of my awesome followers who has stuck with me these last couple of months even though I've been a little MIA. What can I say, summer is too fun to be sitting at home on the computer. I want to be outside by the pool or at the lake. Even though Summer is over in the seasonal sense of the word, it's not over in Texas where we have summer until about the end of October.

Review: Working it Out by Rachel Anderson
Working It Out A chance encounter . . . Grace Warren's life is safe and predictable—exactly the way she likes it. But when she gets roped into going to an auction to help out a friend, everything changes. She meets Seth Tuttle—a guy who unexpectedly kisses her then disappears, leaving her flustered and upset. If she never sees him again, it will be too soon.
A chance for love . . . Weeks later, when Seth limps into Grace's rehab clinic post surgery, she immediately recognizes him. Unfortunately, he's every bit as frustrating and annoying as she remembered. Yet there's something about him that makes her second-guess her carefully placed boundaries even though he's everything she's sure she doesn't want in a man. But maybe Seth is exactly what Grace has needed all along—assuming she's willing to risk safe and predictable for a chance at love.
My Thoughts:
I find it so comforting to know there's always authors out their who will write just what I need when I need it. Rachel is just such an author. I can always count on her to write a book that makes me laugh, tear up, laugh again. I love that her characters deal with realistic problems and take time to find the solutions. Grace is a very stubborn woman. Now THAT I can relate to. She has her life the way she wants it, with the exception of some unresolved issues with her brother. She likes staying on the "safe side" of the road. Seth also has his life exactly how he wants it. He lives it to the fullest, scoffing at any suggestion to be more cautious. It takes their friends and family to make them see they each have what the other one needs.
I've recommended Rachel Anderson books to several friends and they have ALL loved them. I think you will too.

Her eyes continued to search his face—well, more like probe—as though she could see into his mind and thoughts. She held up the brochure she carried, showing Seth the face of the bachelor he’d just bid twenty grand for. He took it from her to get a closer look. “What do you plan to do about the incredibly expensive date you won?” she asked. Seth scanned through Cameron’s bio, a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth. He returned the brochure back to her and tapped the page. “Experience an unforgettable day of high adventure, apparently. Sorry if I, uh, took that away from you.” She looked completely unfazed, as though this strange situation happened all the time. “You know he’s not gay, right?” “I made that assumption, yes,” Seth said, wondering what was going through that pretty head of hers. “Why? Are you hoping I’ll hand the date off to you since I’m clearly not gay either?” “Aren’t you?” The way she said it made Seth’s jaw work back and forth. She looked so confident, so unshakable, reminding him of someone who got under his skin on a regular basis—Lanna. Except the two women looked nothing alike. Lanna was petite and fair, whereas this woman was taller, with darker hair and a darker complexion. But that expression—that impassivity—exactly the same. Maybe Lanna had given her lessons. Yet for whatever reason, it bothered Seth that this woman might think he preferred men to women. “No, I’m not.” “Then you won’t mind if I do borrow that date from you. I’m sure Cameron would prefer me over you anyway.” If she didn’t look so sure of herself, Seth would have said, “Have it, it’s yours.” But something in the way she said it made Seth bristle. “Yes, I would mind, actually. I happen to like ziplining, parasailing, and . . . romantic horseback rides.” “And Cameron, apparently.” Seth took a step forward, leaning close so his eyes were only inches from hers. “Like I told you, I’m not gay.” “Oh yeah? Prove it. Give me the da—” Seth immediately dipped his head slightly and covered her mouth with his. Her lips were warm and soft, and she smelled faintly of citrus. For a second, it seemed like she responded, but then she planted her palms against his chest and shoved him away.
