BOOK BLITZ: Indecision (Maine Attraction #1) by Elisabeth Grace



Indecision 

by Elisabeth Grace
(Maine Attraction #1)
Publication date: August 31st 2015 
Genres: Contemporary, New Adult, Romance




From USA Today Bestselling Author, Elisabeth Grace…

Jackie Davenport will try anything once, especially in the bedroom. Anything except falling in love. She lives a carefree existence packed full of fun, but free from emotional entanglements and that’s just how she wants to keep it. When she meets the new police officer in town, she’s unable to deny the connection between them. His over confidence and bullish ways grate on her…still she can’t help but find herself falling into his bed AND falling for him.

Jamie McTavish is man enough to admit that he probably didn’t make the best first impression when he met the 911 Operator. That doesn’t mean there isn’t still sizzling sexual tension between them. He’s a man of action and he’s not content to sit on the sidelines until Jackie works out her issues. But trying to tame this tiger might be too big of a challenge for even him.

WARNING: In order to enjoy this book you need to be a fan of hot sex with equally hot guys and enjoy brooding alpha males. LOL




On sale for 99¢ for a limited time only!



EXCERPT


Jesus Christ, was she trying to kill me? I’d been here for hours and as if the sight of Jackie in her cute sundress wasn’t enough, I’d had to spend the past hour watching her bounce around the pool while a group played volleyball. The chocolate brown bikini she was wearing clung to her firm figure and left little to the imagination. She’d pulled her dark hair up into a messy bun and the green in her eyes seemed even more prominent than usual because of the sun she’d gotten on her face earlier.

“Jamie, why don’t you join us?” Ben yelled across to me from the pool. “Patterson has to get back to the Mrs., and we need someone to sub in.”
I’d brought my suit since the invite referred to the event as a retirement/pool party. Getting a closer view of Jackie in that flimsy scrap of fabric she called a swimsuit wouldn’t hurt either.

“Give me a minute, and I’ll go change,” I shouted back.

Jackie’s lips formed a thin line, as if she didn’t approve of my joining their little game, which only made it that much sweeter for me. The sexual tension that had been thrumming between us had me wanting to get under her skin. I figured if I couldn’t touch it, I could get under it at the very least.

But by the time I made my way over to the pool, the game had changed and the guys were now playing with the women hoisted up on their shoulders. I felt a grin forming on my face. This ought to be fun. My gut tightened when I saw Jackie’s tanned legs wrapped around the shoulders of the guy she’d left me to go speak to earlier. They certainly seemed cozy with one another. What was the deal with those two?

I mentally shook it off. I had no claim to her. Jackie could do what she wanted. As could I.

I politely pushed my way through the crowd on the patio area and caught Jackie’s eye a moment before I reached the pool. I grinned with satisfaction when I noticed her gaze dart down the expanse of my chest and back up. When she caught me looking at her perusal of my assets, her eyes flared for a second and then morphed into an expression that reminded me of a child who’d been caught doing something wrong.

I chuckled and dove into the pool. “Okay, what are we playing?” I asked once I surfaced.

“Jamie, you get Sylvia on your shoulders,” Ben said.

I glanced over at the blond waiting in the corner of the pool. She gave me a coy smile. I didn’t know who Sylvia was, but I smiled warmly and introduced myself.

“I’m Jamie. Good to meet you.” I held my hand out for her.

She giggled for a second, then shook it. “Sylvia, pleasure. I’m glad you decided to join us.”

Someone made a disgusted sound behind me. “Are you guys going to ogle each other all afternoon or are we going to play?” It was Jackie, and she sounded irritated. If I didn’t know better, I would’ve guessed jealous.

I turned to face her, almost laughing. She looked pouty with her hands crossed over her chest and a scowl on her face.

“Hold up there, princess. Give us a minute.” I grinned, knowing my comment would antagonize her further.

She made another sound of frustration and uncrossed her arms.

“You ready to kick their ass?” I asked Sylvia.

“Definitely!” She flipped her platinum hair behind her shoulder and smiled.

I swam down under the water where Sylvia had widened her stance and put my head between her legs, rising up out of the water so that her thighs rested on my shoulders. When I came up out of the water, I saw Jackie bending down as best she could and whispering into her partner’s ear. The guy whose shoulders she was on patted her leg and nodded. My jaw clenched at the sight of his hand on her thigh.

“Alright. Three points until match. You all set?” the guy who was acting as referee shouted.

Everyone on both sides nodded, and I spread apart from my other teammates to cover the most ground. As I watched the muscles in Jackie’s thighs clench around the other guy’s neck, I vowed that I, too, would have my head between Jackie’s legs before the night was over.

EXCERPT

Holy shit, someone just bid six hundred bucks on me.

“Wowee, can you believe it everyone? We’re up to six hundred dollars already. Keep it coming! And don’t forget that it’s all going to a great cause. Who wouldn’t want to spend an evening with all this?” The MC held his hand out and motioned from my head to my feet and back up like I was a prize on The Price Is Right.

All the attention of the crowd turned back to the older lady, who was biting nervously on the end of her finger. Finally, after a moment, she called out, “Seven hundred!”

The blonde rolled her eyes. “Eight hundred.” She crossed her arms over her chest and pinned the elderly lady with a challenging gaze.

A woman standing beside the older lady shoved her with an elbow. The older lady chewed on her lip for a moment, looking unsure. Waving a hand in front of her, she said, “You can have him. I probably wouldn’t know what to do with him anyway.”

The crowd laughed, and the MC brought the mic to his mouth. “Eight hundred dollars going once…going twice…”

I glanced over to the blonde, who had a triumphant look on her face.

“And—”


“One thousand dollars!”

At the new bid, the entire room hushed, and the blonde woman’s eyes bugged out of her head. She turned, searching the low murmuring throng for the person who had outbid her. My heart was pounding in my chest, and I didn’t have to wait to see her walk up through the parted crowd to know who it was—I’d recognize her voice anywhere.

My lips spread into a satisfied smile, and my dick twitched in my pants before I even set eyes on Jackie. Seems she was finally ready to acknowledge what I’d been telling her all along.

My Review


I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

If you have read Elisabeth's Indiscretion series, then you will remember Jackie and Jamie. (The events in this book take place before that series, so don't worry if you haven't read the Indiscretion series. BUT it is an awesome series and you can get the whole thing for less than $4 right here....just saying.)

At the beginning of the book Jackie is stranded on the side of the road. She is trying to change her flat tire, but is having some problems. Jamie happens upon her while on duty and makes a interesting first impression. Now knowing who she is, he manages to insult her, help change her tire and turn her on all within minutes. The man has some serious skills!

They both try to forget about that encounter, but sparks fly every time they see each other. Jackie repeatedly makes it very clear that she wants nothing to do with him. Jackie doesn't date cops. Or firemen. Or EMTs. But Jamie won't take no for an answer.


“There you go again.” I let out a frustrated sigh. “And stop looking at me like that.”
Now he seemed amused. “And how is that exactly?”
“Like I’m dessert.”
He leaned in to speak directly into my ear. I tried to hold my breath so I wouldn’t be forced to inhale his natural scent, the one I’d longed to smell again since I’d kissed him behind the bar. “Oh, but you will be dessert at the end of our date. I can’t wait to taste you.”
I inhaled a sharp breath and momentarily pressed my thighs together. Once I’d regained my composure I shoved into his chest, forcing him back and ignoring how hard his chest muscles were underneath my palms. “You’re impossible.”
He shrugged, not at all fazed by my frustration. “Maybe, but you like it.”
God help me, but a part of me did. “I’ve got to get going. Chloe is waiting.”
“Alright then. Enjoy the rest of your evening, Jackie. I know I will—imagining all the things we’ll be doing on our date,” he said with a cocky grin.
I narrowed my eyes. “Don’t count on it.”
He laughed, his eyes full of mirth. “Oh, Jackie. Haven’t you figured it out yet? We’re a foregone conclusion.”
***SWOON*** God I freaking love him.

The two of them do eventually go out on a date and despite Jackie's misgivings, she finds herself falling for Jamie pretty quickly. He was exactly what she needed to get past her dating hangups. When she does eventually explain those hangups, he is very supportive, but he also tells her that she can't live in the past or be afraid to do something because of what could happen in the future. Unfortunately, his words are not enough to get through to her and it takes a pretty dramatic event for her to see things clearly. 


There were some light moments in this book that made me laugh out loud and by the end of it I liked Jackie and Jamie more than I already did. They were both fantastic friends to Chloe in the Indiscretion series, so it was nice to read their story.

EXCERPT


I pulled the cruiser into Jackie’s driveway. What the hell was wrong with me? It was only yesterday that I’d gotten her off and yet here I was, sitting unannounced in her driveway like a stalker.

If I’d thought it difficult to get her off my mind before, what had happened in the wine cellar had made it damn near impossible.

Everyone I’d talked to had said the same thing—that she’d turned down each and every cop or fireman that had asked her out. No one was sure if she was just trying to keep her personal life outside of the work environment or what, but I intended to find out. The insane pull between us didn’t leave me any other choice.

With a sigh, I unbuckled my seatbelt and glanced at the small bungalow. It was cute with white siding and black shutters. Hanging baskets of colorful flowers hung from hooks around the veranda and a kickass bicycle was leaning against the side of the house. That helped to explain why she had such a firm ass.

I opened the door to the cruiser when the front door of the house burst open, and Jackie stood there frozen, her hand held to her chest and such an expression of fear on her face that I bolted out of the car and up the front steps.

“What’s wrong?” I demanded as soon as I was in front of her.

“Wh-what are you doing here?” she asked in barely a whisper.

I relaxed a fraction once it was clear she was okay. “I figured you could use a lift to Don’s place for your car. Didn’t think you would’ve driven home last night.” I shrugged. “It’s been quiet today, so I popped by to see if you wanted me to drive you over.”

She released a pent-up breath and relief washed over her face. “Oh, thank God.”

I frowned and gripped her upper arms. “What’s going on? Everything okay?”

She glanced down at where my hands lay on her soft skin and looked back up to me, blinking twice. “It’s nothing. When I saw the cruiser in the driveway...never mind.” She shook her head.

I studied her for a moment. She was sexy just rolling out of bed with her hair thrown in a messy bun and last night’s make-up still on her face. “You sure?”

She nodded and her eyes flicked down to my hands once more. “Why are you always touching me whenever I see you?” Her voice had come out all breathy, not at all convincing me that she didn’t like my hands right where they were.

I grazed her collarbones with my thumbs, causing goose bumps to form on her skin. “I think you know exactly why.”

Excerpt

I pulled the cruiser into Jackie’s driveway. What the hell was wrong with me? It was only yesterday that I’d gotten her off and yet here I was, sitting unannounced in her driveway like a stalker.

5 Star Review: Indecision by Elisabeth Grace



Indecision will be available in Brenda Novak's charity box set (see above), Sweet Seduction, from May 1st to June 30th.

Jackie Davenport will try anything once, especially in the bedroom. Anything except falling in love. She lives a carefree existence packed full of fun, but free from emotional entanglements and that’s just how she wants to keep it. When she meets the new police officer in town, she’s unable to deny the connection between them. His over confidence and bullish ways grate on her…still she can’t help but find herself falling into his bed AND falling for him.

Jamie McTavish is man enough to admit that he probably didn’t make the best first impression when he met the 911 Operator. That doesn’t mean there isn’t still sizzling sexual tension between them. He’s a man of action and he’s not content to sit on the sidelines until Jackie works out her issues. But trying to tame this tiger might be too big of a challenge for even him.






My Review

I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. 

If you have read Elisabeth's Indiscretion series, then you will remember Jackie and Jamie. (The events in this book take place before that series, so don't worry if you haven't read the Indiscretion series. BUT it is an awesome series and you can get the whole thing for less than $4 right here....just saying.) 


At the beginning of the book Jackie is stranded on the side of the road. She is trying to change her flat tire, but is having some problems. Jamie happens upon her while on duty and makes a interesting first impression. Now knowing who she is, he manages to insult her, help change her tire and turn her on all within minutes. The man has some serious skills!


They both try to forget about that encounter, but sparks fly every time they see each other. Jackie repeatedly makes it very clear that she wants nothing to do with him. Jackie doesn't date cops. Or firemen. Or EMTs. But Jamie won't take no for an answer. 

There you go again.” I let out a frustrated sigh. “And stop looking at me like that.” 
Now he seemed amused. “And how is that exactly?”
“Like I’m dessert.”
He leaned in to speak directly into my ear. I tried to hold my breath so I wouldn’t be forced to inhale his natural scent, the one I’d longed to smell again since I’d kissed him behind the bar. “Oh, but you will be dessert at the end of our date. I can’t wait to taste you.”
I inhaled a sharp breath and momentarily pressed my thighs together. Once I’d regained my composure I shoved into his chest, forcing him back and ignoring how hard his chest muscles were underneath my palms. “You’re impossible.”
He shrugged, not at all fazed by my frustration. “Maybe, but you like it.”
God help me, but a part of me did. “I’ve got to get going. Chloe is waiting.”
“Alright then. Enjoy the rest of your evening, Jackie. I know I will—imagining all the things we’ll be doing on our date,” he said with a cocky grin.
I narrowed my eyes. “Don’t count on it.”
He laughed, his eyes full of mirth. “Oh, Jackie. Haven’t you figured it out yet? We’re a foregone conclusion.

***SWOON*** God I freaking love him!

The two of them do eventually go out on a date and despite Jackie's misgivings, she finds herself falling for Jamie pretty quickly. He was exactly what she needed to get past her dating hangups. When she does eventually explain those hangups, he is very supportive, but he also tells her that she can't live in the past or be afraid to do something because of what could happen in the future. Unfortunately, his words are not enough to get through to her and it takes a pretty dramatic event for her to see things clearly. 

There were some light moments in this book that made me laugh out loud and by the end of it I liked Jackie and Jamie more than I already did. They were both fantastic friends to Chloe in the Indiscretion series, so it was nice to read their story.
