Spotlight
with author K J Wolf
Hey
all! This is another of my catch up posts that should have been up
while I was ill. I am nearly caught up. Yay! But at least you guys
are getting a lot of fabulous books to read about regardless of
whether it posted late or not. I am sorry to have to post so many on
the same day. I really try not to give you more than one post a day
because it ends up being too much, but I also want all of these great
books to have a chance to be featured. So please bear with me a
couple more days and then we will be back to our regular posting
schedule. Ms. Wolf is new to me. Sometimes I don't care for this type
of book because friends first doesn't always work well. But something
about this blurb caught me. I wanted to find out more and I think it
is because it doesn't seem like it is going to be an easy path to an
HEA. I like the idea of friends then lovers then girl doesn't want
more but boy does. It is a bit of a switch from how things might
normally play out. But I am talking about everything you will soon
find out. Zipping my lips now so that I may introduce to the blog:

Hannah
Monroe’s best friend, Chris Worth, is the one guy she can depend
on- and sexy! He's an all-American good guy, and they've been through
thick and thin together. But now he’s thinking about being with
her—naked.
A Valentine’s Day pact and a few drinks too many find the friends spending a night together neither one can forget. Hannah wants to pretend it didn't happen. Chris doesn’t.
Chris is determined to break through the cracks he’s put in Hannah’s walls to give them a shot at romance. She’s resistant to all his efforts.
But when Hannah thinks Chris has betrayed her in the worst way, will she run or can she give their new passion for each other a chance?

“Hannah. What’s the
matter? You’re never this … shy with me. What the hell’s
wrong?” He didn’t really want to know the answer, but he couldn’t
live without it.
She
sniffed and buried her face in his neck. “I don’t know, Chris.
It’s you, you know? I feel so … exposed. It shouldn’t be this
way, right?”
The
brick sank lower. He wrapped his arms around her and rubbed with his
hands up and down. What was he supposed to do?
Hannah
pulled back and looked at the floor. “Maybe I should get going.”
The
brick ignited into flames, and his stomach burned in fear. Now that
he finally had Hannah in his bed, he didn’t want to lose her. He
couldn’t let her walk out. There had to be a way past the wall
she’d slammed up. He’d deal with why she’d slammed it up later.
“No.
We’ve been drinking. You’re not driving. Come on.” He took her
hand and blew out a breath when she didn’t resist following him
into his bedroom.
He
turned on the light and moaned. Hell, he wished he’d taken the time
to clean up. He hadn’t known this was going to happen, but from now
on, he would make sure his clothes made it into one pile instead of
several scattered all over. And the empty beer bottles lining the
nightstand and dresser just looked sad.
He
cleared his throat. “So, obviously I wasn’t expecting company.
Sorry ‘bout the mess in here.”
She
snorted. “I’ve seen it much worse, Chris. Everyone knows you’re
a freakin’ slob in your room.”
Heat
rose to his neck, but he couldn’t feel too embarrassed. If she was
teasing him, then she wasn’t completely freaked out over what
they’d just done.
He
strolled to the bed, grabbed handfuls of clothing and tossed them
towards the farthest corner of the room. She still avoided making eye
contact, and he put his hands on his hips.
“Hannah.
Seriously? We’ve known each other forever. You don’t have to be
self-conscious in front of me. You’re beautiful.”
Pink
flushed to her cheeks. She shuffled to the bed and sat down on the
edge still clutching the towel.
“When
I’m with some guy I don’t know, it’s somehow easier. I don’t
worry about how I look. I know we’re both there to get off and go
our separate ways.” She bit the inside of her right cheek. “God,
that sounds so bad. I’m pretty fucked up. But you knew that
already.”
“Do
you trust me?”
She
glanced at him. “What?”
“I
asked you if you trust me, Hannah.”
She
didn’t answer right away and bit her cheek again. “You know I do,
Chris.”
He
went to his closet, slid the door aside, pulled out a tie and settled
behind her on the bed. “I’m going to make you stop thinking about
yourself and just feel. Are you okay with that?”
“What
are you talking about?”
“Are
you sure you trust me?”
She
nodded slowly and tried to turn to face him, but he grabbed her
shoulders to hold her still. “I need you to just focus on what you
feel. This is going to help you.”
Hannah
let out a tiny yelp as he blindfolded her with his tie.
So
what do you think? You all know that I really enjoy getting your
feedback. Tell me if you go for this type of story. Do you like the
idea of friends becoming that elusive HEA story, or do you prefer
them to start from scratch not knowing one another? Based on the blurb and excerpt, would you read this book? Why or why not? Your

thought about any portion of this post.
