Blurb: Jack Gordon is Ann Arbor's most delectable bachelor. At age thirty-five, he's made millions as a top-selling Ann Arbor real estate broker and has the right connections to close a deal by any means necessary. With his rugged good looks and compelling personality, he has a virtual black book most men would kill for and he uses it often, never settling for one woman for very long.

While his D/s past remains buried, exactly where he wants it, an undercurrent of boredom and dissatisfaction runs through his life now. A disastrous experience years earlier made him swear off the whole scene, but the more Jack suppresses his natural Dom, the more his frustration grows.

Sara Thornton, a rookie in the real estate game, has fast-tracked herself to the top of the Ann Arbor market. Her life reflects a disciplined and focused routine, exactly the way she wants it. However, as her career takes off, the fulfillment she seeks remains inexplicably out of reach. The one thing she knows for sure, she will not join the Jack Gordon groupies in her company, no matter how tempting that might seem.

A chance encounter, then a difficult transaction, throw Jack and Sara together and the sparks fly high and hot and often. Forced to confront the compulsions that gain momentum with each sizzling encounter, their relationship seems to spiral out of control until Jack finally admits what he needs, and shows Sara what she's been missing. 

Review: A total single sitting read, Ms Crowe has done it again with the start of her new series :)

Talent just doesn't seem like the word that can fully describe this beer wench and her amazing ability to weave a touching, emotional tale that will warm your heart and take you back to the blush of new love.

Rockin' is pretty close though :) And Floor Time was. Over and over I "felt" Sara's emotional turmoil and wanted to embrace her. Occasionally I wanted to slap the shit out of Jack.... then fuck him silly :)

While I always enjoyed Ms Crowe's Brewing Passion shorties, this new turn really has me hooked. I feel like a crack head needing another fix already and my Kindle is still hot from reading this one :) I can't WAIT to crack the  next one open and see what happens :)

Here's to the kick ass beer maid and her ability to brew nothing but the best :) Liz, you rock!!!

Blurb:  It’s Christmas time and Lacey Jude is not only out of a job, but she and her five-year-old son have also been evicted. When the reverend of her church says he knows of a widower who is willing to let them stay through the holidays, her apprehension is overridden only by the drive to provide a warm and safe place for her son for Christmas.

Robert Martinez left the small town as soon as he graduated and hardly looked back. As a founding partner of one of New York’s top advertising firms, he lives his life on his own terms. Going back home brings him face-to-face with a harsh reality; you can rarely have everything your own way.

Coming from such different worlds, will Lacey and Robert find a way to make the Christmas wishes of the people they love most come true?

Review: This was a really great sweet romance that is so hard to come by these days.  Not only was the story well written and moving, but inspirational in a way that I rarely see in todays market.

Sweet and "real" This is one that I totally loved and you can bet your boots that I will be on  the look-out for more from Ms Mason in the future :)
