This week’s hook …

TOUCH ME

by Iris Blobel

She straightened. “I’m okay. Embarrassed, my ego dinted, and having aged by about ten years, but I’m okay.”

His deep chuckle invaded her senses with its warmth and did something to her. And it’d been a while since a man had stirred something inside her, not since … she pushed the thought of her husband away, as well as the flutter in her stomach, trying to deal with the problem at hand.

“I got us lost,” she finally conceded.

Raising his brows, he opened his mouth, but closed it again, looking over at Zoe. “Okay, so one thing after the other. I hope you know that waving down a car can be dangerous.”

“Please don’t lecture her,” Lexie said, still gasping for air. “I will do that in due time later on, but at the moment, she deserves a medal, because…” She huffed. “Because we were lost.”

Lexie met his gaze dead on, acutely aware of the momentary silence between them. Again, she had to push the flutter in her stomach away by closing her eyes for a brief second or two.

“Mum.”

Eyes wide now, she turned to Zoe. “What?”

“The Ranger asked you a question.”

BLURB

She loves the feel of his skin beneath her hands …

Lexie Marshall packs up and moves 3,000 km east with her daughter Zoe, to forget and move on. Now, all that matters is her daughter and her new job. She tries hard to stay focussed, but the sexy and extremely kind park ranger, Jesse, is not making it easy. And when her husband shows up in the small coastal town creating chaos, all she can do is hang on and trust her new friends.

After his last girlfriend walked out on him, Jesse Parker is doing just fine on his own. Until his accidental meeting with single mother Lexie, when he rescues her and her daughter from getting lost in the forest. But when her past catches up with her, he is right in the middle of it all and it might ruin his career.

Will returning to her old life be the only chance to save his career?

This week’s hook …

TOUCH ME

“Mum?”

Lexie whirled around again. “What?” But as soon as she saw her daughter’s timid look in her eyes, she apologised straight away. “I’m sorry, sweetie. But—”

Zoe shook her head. “Mum, listen,” she said just above a whisper.

Lexie focussed and followed the girl’s gaze.

“Look! A car.”

“Hallelujah,” Lexie murmured.

“Can you run?”

Hands on hips, Lexie said, “I’m old, but I’m no geriatric.”

“Well, duh, Mum. Run.”

“Wait,” she almost shouted. “We can’t just—”

“Mum, just run. You’re not wearing your glasses, are you? It’s the Park Ranger vehicle.”

Shaking her head at her own embarrassment, but also at her clever daughter, she rushed after Zoe through the forest, literally over sticks and stones. Worried about her daughter stopping a stranger’s car, Park Ranger or not, she screamed, “Wait, Zoe. Wait for me!”

Without looking back, her daughter replied, “No way I’m letting this guy drive off.”

When Lexie stopped a couple of minutes later in front of the Ranger’s truck, she placed her hands on her knees, trying to catch her breath.

“Mum got us lost.”

The Ranger came around the car and placed his hand on Lexie’s arm, “Ma’am, are you okay?”

She straightened. “I’m okay. Embarrassed, my ego dinted, and having aged by about ten years, but I’m okay.”

I’m changing books this week, let me ‘hook’ you on book 4 in the Alinta Bay series, which is set along the Great Ocean Road in Australia.

This week’s hook …

TOUCH ME

Zoe shrugged again. “I miss my friends.”

“Well, so do I, but I am trying to do the best in a bad situation. How about we try to get out of this jungle of trees and next weekend we’ll check the real estate agent for a bigger house?”

“We had a big house in Perth—”

Lexie looked into the distance and then back at her daughter. “Look, I get it that you’re not happy with the current situation. But I’m trying my best here.” She inhaled a long breath to calm herself. “I don’t really think this is the right place to have this discussion, but maybe the right time for you to ponder about the alternatives. Perth, big house, your mother working massive hours to afford it, which would mean you’re in after care, or Alinta Bay, small house, hopefully we’ll find something bigger soon, and I can drop you off and pick you up from school, plus we will have enough money for two holidays a year.”

Without waiting for an answer, Lexie turned again, but didn’t move. Cursing under her breath, she conceded that they were lost. And it scared her. A lot. “Mum?”

#MFRWHooks “Touch Me” #Romancebooks #Love #Bookrecommendations

I’m continuing with book 4 in the Alinta Bay series, which is set along the Great Ocean Road in Australia. I hope you’re enjoying “the hook” ♥

This week’s hook …

TOUCH ME

by Iris Blobel

Lexie Marshall looked around, seeing nothing but trees. Worry crept into her mind. It’d been a while since they’d seen another soul. The old farmer on the tractor had warned them, but she’d been certain she had known the way back to the car.

“Mum, are you sure you know where you’re going?” Zoe asked.

Loosely circling her shoulders to rid herself of the kink in them, Lexie replied, “Sweetie, I’m sure we’re almost there. It can’t be far.”

“Such a stupid idea to go for a bushwalk.”

Lexie stopped and turned, looking at her daughter, undecided whether to be annoyed or feel guilty. “I thought it was a great idea. We’re stuck in that small house seven days a week with the walls closing in on us.”

Zoe met her gaze, tears shimmering in her eyes. “Not my fault we moved here.”

Massaging the temples, she took a deep breath. “I hope we’re not going through the separation discussion again. Your dad and I drifted apart. Nothing I can do about it.”

The girl lifted her shoulder in a shrug. “That didn’t mean you have to drift all the way to this godforsaken place.”

“This godforsaken place is giving me a chance to work in my profession as a lawyer during school hours only so you’re not on your own at home.”

#MFRWHooks “You need to relax” #Romancebooks #Bookrecommendations #Whattoread

This week’s hook …

defining moments

by Iris Blobel

He raised a brow, but she didn’t worry whether he was offended or not, or whether he even understood. All she wanted was to get away from him and into her car as soon as possible. When he pointed towards her jacket pocket, panic rose within her again. Her car was right behind her, preventing her to increase the distance between them.

“You need to relax.” He pointed towards the pocket of her jacket. “Are those your keys?”

She followed to where his finger was pointing, only to find the acrylic heart-shaped key ring that held a photo of Jason hanging outside. Taking the keys, she muttered, “Thanks,” and quickly unlocked the car.

BLURB

Women want him and he wants them…

Pitcher Oliver Dempsey loves playing baseball for a living, yet, when it comes to his private life, ‘love’ is not in his vocabulary. He likes to keep women at an arm’s length … until he meets Tamara. Unprepared for the attraction he feels towards her, he’s drawn in, even more when told by his coach that she’s off limits. And only Oliver can decide whether she’s worth fighting for.

Tamara Amis moved to Melbourne seeking distance from her past. With the help of her uncle, the coach of a baseball club, she quickly finds a job and a place to live. Yet, one meeting with the handsome pitcher Oliver stirs unexpected emotions that threaten to overwhelm her, despite her best efforts to resist falling for him.

It’s Oliver’s injury that brings them together, but as they find out about each other’s pasts, how can they be ready to share a future?

This week’s hook …

defining moments

by Iris Blobel

Yet, her pain was still too raw, and even with all her willpower, her hands trembled at the idea of a man stepping too close. The desire she’d been harbouring the last few weeks suddenly turned into apprehension. She inhaled a couple of deep breaths to calm herself as she held Oliver’s gaze.

“Are you okay?” he asked.

She took another breath and stepped away from him, still searching for her keys. They just had to be in her bag. She had no doubt about it.

“Lost your keys?” he queried this time.

His deep voice was soothing and caring, and although everything inside her urged her to relax, her inner restlessness took over. Shaking her head frantically, she whispered, “No. They’re somewhere in here.” While taking another step away from him, she added, “I’d appreciate if you would leave me be.”

#MFRWHooks “He was no stranger to her” #Romancenovels #SportsRomance #mustread

This week’s hook …

defining moments

by Iris Blobel

Tamara Amis placed her hand on her chest to catch her breath. Oliver had given her a fright, and she cursed him for doing so as well as herself for being so on edge.

Of course, he was no stranger to her. She’d watched him on the field a couple of times since being hired as an accountant in the office. The many athletic sportsmen were often a welcome distraction to her daily numbers, but Oliver had also been the hero in many of her daydreams. He had no problems showing off his upper body after a long, rigid training session, but she had to admit, he looked even better close up—his suntanned face with just a shadow of a beard, his dark hair cut short, still wet from his shower, and those green eyes. Her whole body reacted simply from laying eyes on him.

He nodded and a sense of relief trickled through him when the doors opened after what had seemed the longest two minutes in a long time.

“Enjoy Melbourne,” he tried once more, but he should have known better. She wasn’t the talkative kind. Shaking his head, he exited the lift and headed towards the front doors. As he walked across the car park, he saw her in the distance and as fate wanted it right next to his car. Choking back a snort in disbelief at the odds of parking beside her, he watched her rummaging in her bag as he approached her.

“Lost your keys?” he asked.

She startled, and the panicky expression in her eyes unnerved him.

This week’s hook …

defining moments

by Iris Blobel

From where he stood, he only saw a small part of her face, the pale skin, albeit flawless. Her blond hair was tied back in a ponytail, with a few stray strands tucked behind her ears. No earrings. He moved forward a bit. No rings on any of the fingers either. When she turned a bit, he was able to admire her deep blue eyes again. Indeed, beautiful, and yet underlined with troubling dark circles. He imagined for a moment what those eyes were hiding.

“So, what brings you to Melbourne?” he asked, noticing another little flinch.

Tamara met his gaze and for a beat, he was completely lost in her eyes. A smile tugged at his lips, but she returned to stare at the door.

“Business,” she whispered at last.

The sudden ache in his shoulder when he moved the bag, however, reminded him to make that call for a massage appointment. When he hung up, he lifted his eyes and not only found himself in front of the lift but also next to Tamara.

A dozen questions whirled through his head again. How she’d ignored his hand, yet more so, how intrigued he’d been by her stance or even her demeanour towards him. He was about to say something when the lift gave a soft ping and the doors opened. With a small smile, he stepped aside and waited for Tamara to enter first.

“Ground floor?”

Her reply was nothing more than a soft whisper. “Yes, please.”

A thousand things went through his head, yet nothing that could start a conversation. He tilted his head slightly towards her and as he watched her staring at the closing doors, he saw a little flinch.

Or had he imagined it?
