BLURB:

 

Kassie knew she was in trouble when her matchmaking best friend announced she’d gotten professional help in time for Valentine’s Day. Her friend’s attempts had always been hilariously ridiculous and never in a million years was Kassie expecting a hunky firefighter to show up on her doorstep.

 

Her online dating profile said she was looking for a superhero, and Declan couldn’t help but believe it had to be fate. But fate was a fickle mistress who left him to wonder who he was behind the mask. He’d been hiding in plain sight for long enough that he wasn’t sure if he even knew the answer. And until he figured that out, he had nothing to offer the world, let alone Kassie.

 

Love had already ended in tragedy once for Kassie, and she feared that history was doomed to repeat itself unless Declan could learn to trust her with his secrets. This time around, would it be enough to harden her heart for good, or would his deception restore her faith in second chances?

Excerpt One:

 

Excerpt from Kassie:

 

“When was the last time you went on a date?” Tiffany asked, leaning over the back of the sectional.

 

“That would be the time you set me up with your cousin Phil.” I shuddered and gave my her a bitchy glare. “I’m still not recovered.”

 

She rolled her eyes. “How long ago was that?”

 

“Six months ago,” I grudgingly admitted.

 

My best friend was a horrendous match maker, yet she continued to subject me to these dating rejects every time I was single. Not that she kept the good ones for herself. Oh no, there was the guy who manufactured meth, the one who left her to watch his baby while he got drunk, and my personal favorite, the one who removed all his natural teeth in favor of a gold grill not knowing he could get a snap on. Dumbass.

 

“Exactly,” she said with a smirk. “Besides, this time it’s different. I sought professional help.”

 

Wait a second, what did she just say? And more importantly what sort of fresh hell was she planning on subjecting me to?

 

“What do you mean, exactly, by professional help?”

 

She winced, her button nose scrunching up. “I may have created a dating profile for you on LookingforLoveOnline.com.”

Review: What could be worse than your best friend setting you up with an online profile on a dating site? Nothing, if your perfect match was a hunky fireman.

For Kassie, it was much more than the rippling muscles that attracted her to Declan. It was their shared interests, too. We watch the two get all giddy and awkward on a few of these dates. It all seemed good…until a fire accident leaves Declan blind. He was left a bitter and grumbling mess that just wanted to be left alone. Undeterred, Kassie appoints herself to be his full-time caregiver. When their sexual chemistry finally explodes, it’s amazing how the other senses were heightened. It seems the two were getting closer, but would Declan’s secrets break them apart?

An easy and enjoyable read. Witty and clever with humorous puns. Looking forward to the other superhero tales in this series.

AUTHOR Bio and Links:

 

Books transport us to a fantasy world where anything can happen, and once I overcame my difficulties in learning how to read, I was hooked. My mother always carried a Harlequin Romance with her, so it was only natural that I was drawn to that genre. There was something magical about the concept of eternal love and as I grew older, my tastes within the genre broadened to include everything from historical to dark.

 

My writing blossomed in much the same way. The first story I wrote was the Vanderbilt Affair, which was inspired by a field trip. Back then, I was fortunate enough to have an English teacher willing to nurture my love of writing by becoming my editor after school.

 

The writing bug stayed with me, but over the years, life got in the way, and it wasn’t until my early forties that I published my first short story in a Christmas Anthology. From there, I began writing and publishing across many sub-genres, with each book carrying some element of the unexpected.

 

When I’m not up to devious pursuits, like shooting a character, you’ll find me curled up with a book next to my dog, watching TV with my better half, or engaging in random water gun fights with my daughter and the neighborhood kids.
