Ready To Fall
by Olivia Dade
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Contemporary Romance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Elementary
school teacher and part-time librarian Sarah Mayhew has the perfect plan: show
off her cycling skills at her school's bike retreat and attract her oblivious
coworker in the process. Her end game? Fall in love. Only one problem: she
needs to find someone to teach her how to ride a bike pronto. But when she
catches sight of Chris Dean's gorgeous physique, her best laid plans are about
to go off track . . .
Chris is
not looking for a girlfriend. He's getting over his last one by focusing on his
bike repair business. So when a feisty, sexy schoolteacher urges him to help
improve her cycling skills, he does it strictly for the money. He vows he won't
repeat history, even for a blonde bombshell like Sarah. But when the two find
themselves alone on the road, they can't help taking a detour straight into
each other's arms . . .

EXCERPTS :
Excerpt One:
He put down his sandwich and strode to the front of
the shop. Flipping the lock, he yanked open the door.
“You can come in, but make it quick.” His voice
emerged like gravel from his throat, combined irritation and arousal lowering
it to a near growl.
He held the door open for her, and she swept past
him with a murmured thanks. No doubt her smile was also meant to convey
gratitude. Instead, it exuded determination and the satisfaction of a job well
done.
She’d give any man a run for his money. He could
tell already.
Her shoulder brushed against his chest as she
passed by, the dampness of it matching the state of his jersey. Heat arced
between them in that tiny bit of contact, lifting the hairs at the back of his
neck and tightening every muscle in his body.
Her eyes—a cloudy, gorgeous blue-gray, he now
saw—flew up to his, the endearing smugness in them disappearing. Her lips
parted, but she didn’t say anything. He wanted to cover that soft mouth with
his. Steal back the swift breath she’d just taken.

AUTHOR Bio and
Links:
Olivia Dade grew up an undeniable—and
proud—nerd, prone to ignoring the world around her as she read any book she
could find. Her favorite stories, though, were always romances. As an adult,
she earned an M.A. in American history and worked in a variety of jobs that
required her to hide her bawdy interior under a demure exterior: Colonial
Williamsburg interpreter, high school teacher, academic tutor, and (of course)
librarian. Finally, though, she realized the call of the hussy could no longer
be denied. So now she writes contemporary romantic comedy with plenty of sex,
banter, and nerdery. When not writing, she cooks alongside her husband, dabbles
in photography, and tries to hide her collection of throbbing-intensive
romances from her curious daughter. Visit her on the web at

ReplyDeleteThank you, Elaine! I'm excited to be featured on your blog. :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd Mai, thank you for the question. I just finished the copy edits on my fifth book in the Lovestruck Librarian series, DRIVEN TO DISTRACTION. That one's about the no-nonsense Bookmobile manager, Constance, and the IT hottie she loves to hate, Sam. I'm excited for people to read the book in January!
Hugs and ♥,
Olivia
