Well -
Lateness and delay aside, I'm continuing my spotlight of Kristina Knight's Anthem series by bringing you the lowdown on Start Me Up, the 2nd in the three book collection. If time and space ever let me leave a review for these books (I'm admittedly one and a half books through), then that's exactly what I'll do. Don't forget - check books out and, if you like what you read, leave a review anywhere you can. Authors need love too!
Start Me Up by Kristina Knight
Matchmaker Nina Wright might work
in LA but she keeps Hollywood types off her client list. She doesn't need their
drama and she doesn't like the way so many of them exchange lovers like last
year's accessories. But she needs one happy, high-profile client to get her
business off the tabloid pages and back on solid ground.
Hollywood hottie Chase MacIntyre
wants the gossip surrounding his lastest fling to stop and he knows exactly how
to do it: show up on his next red carpet with a new woman and once he meets
Nina Wright he knows she is the woman to stop the presses.
The problem? Once they're under
cover, this business-only agreement is definitely too hot to handle…
Here's an excerpt from Start Me Up, courtesy of Kristina!
She sat back, crossing her arms
over her chest. "You can't be serious."
His
posture was the exact opposite of hers. Everything about him was opposite.
Where she wore a pretty Stella McCartney blouse and prim pencil skirt, he wore
ripped jeans and a tight black tee. Her strappy Manolos hadn't a single
scratch. His Dr. Martens had to be from 1999 and looked like they'd cleaned up
after one too many groupies in the green room.
You're
in control here, Nina. You're the professional. He's the client. Shoo him away
like the ass he really is.
Oh,
but what a fine ass he has, the part of her brain she was definitely not
listening to today said.
"I
assure you I'm serious. I need a non-clingy, well-proportioned date for a gala
fundraiser in two days and I'd prefer she have no illusions as to what this is
about." He sat forward in his chair and Nina was sure she saw his abs
ripple. She caught her breath and then forced her gaze from the spectacle and
back to those blue-blue eyes. And promptly forgot to breathe again. "The
money raised will keep music programs in at least fifteen local schools. To
keep the cash coming I need the headlines to be about the event, not my social
life."
"Then you should go
alone."
"Going alone will keep the
gossip rags talking. What I need is a pretty date for a one- night-only
performance."
Nina
blew out the breath she'd been holding. She didn't believe for a second this
was a mercy date situation. More like a mercy hookup. She didn't do hookups.
Her business set up marriage minded people who were matched based on an
algorithm her aunt developed ten years before. An algorithm that had made the
company a go-to in Los Angeles.
She
shot a glance out the window at the press corps on the sidewalk below her
window.
Well,
until this morning, anyway.
