Blurb
Jamie knows Mark is all wrong for her, but he's so damned hard to
resist.
Jamie Shultzer's life is in a tailspin. Her husband has left her for another
man, and to top it off, she's stranded on a desolate highway in the middle of
Nebraska. The last thing she needs is another complication, especially when it
shows up as the tall, sexy as hell, and much too young for her, Mark Adams.
Though to be fair, he's
only ten years too young, and she has to find
some way to repay him for rescuing her.
Mark wants to be the good guy and leave Jamie alone. After all, her son is
his friend and Jamie is in the middle of a divorce. But he's been smitten with
her since the first time he laid eyes on her years ago. Now that she's
available, it's hard to say no to her sweet tasting lips, and even harder to
walk away from her willing body.
Is this the start of something wonderful, or a disaster in the making?
Excerpt
Jamie's car rolled to a stop by the curb in front of her home. Mark hopped
out and started undoing the chains that he’d attached to the undercarriage of
her vehicle. She got out of the truck and stared at the dark front porch. It
looked so vacant and unwelcoming.
"Don't drive it until you fill it with coolant." Mark gave the hood of her
car a pat. "Or at least water."
"Okay, where do I put said coolant or water?"
In the glow of her security light, Mark gave her a grin that could be called
nothing less than dashing. Crooked, with the adorable dimple that she remembered
when he'd made a brief appearance at her son's college graduation party. He
walked past, a little too close, and his body brushed hers. He smelled of clean
wet earth. The black t-shirt he wore fit the play of toned muscle beneath it to
perfection. Jamie licked her lips; she'd like to approach him like a popsicle.
Lick him head to toe and back up again.
They'd seemed to have shared a moment of chemistry while driving back to her
place. She grasped onto the way Mark had looked at her. The way a man looks at a
woman he desperately wants to kiss. Jamie couldn't remember the last time she'd
experienced such a feeling. It'd been startling and she'd panicked.
Mark reached inside and popped the hood before walking to the front of her
car.
"Come over here."
His voice was low, gravelly, seductive, and she floated toward his command
like a moth to a flame. She'd come anywhere, and anytime, with him. Bad porn
music started to play in her head.
Bom chica wow wow.
She squeezed her eyes shut. Good God, she would be in the middle of a messy
divorce soon, what the hell was wrong with her?
"You'll want to put it in here." He pointed to a part of the engine that
looked like a square plastic container.
Her head was swimming; lack of oxygen most likely. Her blood had rushed south
to her naughty regions.
"Okay." Her voice squeaked, and she cleared her throat.
"You don't want to fill it to the top, her unit can't take that. Just put it
to here."
Oh, come on! The double entendres were killing her.
She couldn't help but notice his long, strong fingers. Long fingers might
mean a long…
"Uh-huh, great." She bit into her top lip until it stung.
"So, that should be it." He dropped the hood and brushed his hands together.
"Do you need anything else, Mrs. Shultzer?" It was an open-ended question on his
part that left Jamie with way too many answers.
My Review
Too Hard To Resist had me hooked from the word go! A fast
paced and punchy afternoon read that you won’t be able to put down. Jamie and
Mark were great characters, and the storyline was in turns funny, emotional
and, of course, extremely sexy. I loved the way that the issues were dealt
with, and especially loved the little twist at the end. Another winner from Ms
Starke!
