But when you get to know an author's literary town and the people in it, you end up wanting to have coffee with all of them. And yes, Trapper's Cove, MN has seen it's share of drama and danger, as proven in Fated Souls and Fated Hearts. But its delightful quirk and charm have left this girl ready to pack up her silver hatchback and head the hell on out.
Fated Desires, Becky Flade's latest offering from within the borders of this tiny, peculiar town, introduces us to Jenna Gavin, a divorcee who ends up there by way of a search for a new life and new beginnings. Add in a sexy young baseball player named Gabriel and... well, you can imagine the rest. One of my favorite things about romance novels is that you are guaranteed witty banter, new love, butterflies and, if you're lucky, a smattering of steamy sex scenes. And I'd lay my rep on the line to say that Becky, for me, has never disappointed.
Details, you need details. Well, Mama's got you:
Fated Desires
Jenna Gavin is searching for a fresh start and, more importantly, for
balance. Her heart, and perhaps the hands of fate, have led her and her son to
Trappers' Cove, Minnesota. Settling in the small, quirky town, she's not in the
market for a casual relationship but finds herself in one with the young
widower next door.
Former shortstop, Gabriel Foxx, is drawn to his difficult new neighbor.
The more the prickly divorcee tries to keep him at arm's length, the more
determined he is to break down her walls. He can't avoid the passion Jenna
inspires and his friendship with Finn has him yearning for family, but Gabe
won't allow himself to feel more.
When friendship grows complicated by stronger emotions and mutual desire
just isn't enough, will love be worth the risk?

Now enjoy the following excerpt from Fated Desires!
She had drifted
closer to him. Or him to her. Jenna couldn’t be sure. But it would take only a
shift of balance to touch her body to his. Life was about balance. And the
shifting of worlds. In the space of a day her world had changed for better and
for worse. She’d spent the previous nine years trying to find her balance
again.
Jenna felt the
familiar kick of desire. She’d never understood the girls who spoke of
butterflies and stirrings. For her it was more akin to a donkey kick—pleasurable,
sure, like the first jolt of caffeine in the morning and as sure and swift and
strong. Her pulse sped up and she knew the vein in her neck would visibly
pulse; it did when she was angry and when she was aroused. Gabe was sure to
notice it. As she noticed his heart pounding against her palm in a rhythm she
found seductive.
She raised her
gaze from the back of her hand. His mouth was aligned with her own. She hadn’t
realized how close in height they were. All she had to do was…shift.
“This is the
longest conversation we’ve had.” Her voice was husky; she heard it, knew he
would. He shifted, imperceptibly but she sensed it.
“Maybe this,”
his voice was husky too, “is why.”
She thought she
knew what he meant. The tension between them was awareness.
“The day we met
I wanted to get close enough to see what color your eyes were. They’re gray.
Like storm clouds. Perfect.”
Jenna could
feel his breath on the flesh of her lips and her nipples tightened.
“Mom!”
Finn’s shout
was punctuated by his feet drumming down the stairs. Gabe brushed his lips over
the curve of her cheek, his eyes conveying amused regret, and slipped out the
back door, barely making a sound. Jenna grabbed the counter and breathed. She
needed to settle herself before her son found his way to the kitchen.
What the hell?
You would be a welcome addition to the Cove!!!!
