synopsis:
What if everything you think you want isn't what you actually need...Dr. Shelly Monroe is a woman who doesn't shy away from going after what she wants, but lately good sex has been hard to find. Shelly's become increasingly frustrated with the men she's been dating and the men she believes are the right choice.
Joshua Daniels is certainly not even close to the right choice. In fact he is exactly the wrong choice. For one thing, he's Mason Langley's best friend and best man. Second he's too much of a risky complication for Shelly to even consider.
Then why can't she stop thinking about how delicious he looked that first night she met him at Exquisite? Why is it so imperative to keep her lusty desire for a man that doesn’t meet her preconceived mold hidden from Lena and Mason, her trusted friends?
It seems unreasonable that being with a man completely wrong in theory could somehow feel so right. Then why is it the more she sees him the more enticing he becomes?
Another great book by Ella Frank! I really enjoy her books; characters are very likable, dialogue is witty and realistic, swoon-worthy males, steaming hot sex scenes and page turning plots.
Author Interview
This a great question and one I have never been asked before. I wish I could cheat and say both however, if I am being honest it is a great story. I feel like originality and character depth is a must. Plus if you have a great story, that to me would imply that there was good flow and then, you can then hire and editor.
I do have set playlists when I write and they differ from current Top 40’s to old classics. I actually listen to the music before I start and then usually turn it off and go from there, that way the mood is set but I am not distracted. Although recently when writing my upcoming novel Blind Obsession I listened to classical music through the entire process.
Oh wow – let me see. 1) My husband. 2) The BDB series (I could read them all day) 3) A satellite radio that we could wind up – the type you have during a hurricane. 4) A first aid kit. 5) Some seeds to plant for vegetables.
I don’t work with an outline or notes. I never write down my thoughts in advance I just sit down and as I like to call it “word blurt”. A friend of mine who is also an author finds this very strange because she outlines and does a timeline for everything. I guess everyone works different but for me I just sit down and –go.
To fly! That way I could visit my parents and family in Australia for free.
The Blackdagger Brotherhood By JR WARD – I love that series.
Beauty from Pain
I would want to be Elizabeth Bennet the week she married Mr. Darcy. She succeeded in helping her family and married the man she loved. Not to mention a full week of honeymooning with Darcy.
I would pick Ashely Judd. She’s sweet, sassy stubborn and smart.
Energetic, positive, impulsive
Dr. Shelly Monroe Georgia was looking for a no-strings-attached, friend-with-benefits. Shelly is a feisty Alpha female who knows what she wants- until she meets Josh Daniels. Josh Daniels fit the mold, until things got complicated. As he slowly brings down her guarded walls, he starts to realize that maybe he isn't what she's looking for, but in the end if he is, she will have to work for it.
"How will I know?" she called out.
Josh shook his head and shrugged.
"I'm not sure, but one thing I do know is you won't have to ask."
I highly recommend this book for anyone looking for a sexy, sweet love story! Well done Ella Frank!
