Synopsis:
Can she overcome her consuming desire for him?
Can he make her comfortable with the other C-word…commitment?
Marley Mason is dreading the arrival of the new
business consultant. After all, this man will most likely outsource her job to
China. The last thing she would expect is a case of mistaken identity, leading
to false accusations of kidnapping when she attempts to pick up the wrong man
at the airport, or worse…that she would have such a visceral reaction to the
right man.
Rick Randy is super sexy, scandalously flirty,
and perfect masturbation material, but a relationship is out of the question.
Rick is contracted on a temporary basis to fix Marley’s ailing company, and
then pull out, although as he expresses to Marley, pulling out is difficult for
him, in more ways than one! Marley’s feelings range from utter confusion to
intense contemplation as Rick charms his way into her life. All of those
C-words Marley can control, but it’s the other C-word she fears—commitment.

Author
Bio – MK Schiller
This is
my debut novel, and I’m thrilled to share it with you. I describe
myself as a hopeless romantic in a hopelessly pragmatic world. By day, I don a
magic cape, calculator (sometimes an abacus), and an assortment of gel pens for
my work in the world of finance. But by night, I sit by the warm glow of my
computer monitor, and think of stories that will warm the heart, and cheer the
soul.
There
is nothing better than the intimate journey and ultimate satisfaction that only
a swoon-worthy romance can provide, especially if there are a few laughs along
the way. Although writing is my passion, I am a reader first and
enjoy nothing more than curling up with a good book and some tasty Italian (the
food, of course!). I hope you will enjoy my work and please drop me a line. I’d
love to hear from you.

Excerpt:
A million things
happened to my body at once. My pulse quickened, my heart thumped wildly, the
hair on the back of my neck stood up and the area between my legs felt
slippery. Cunnilingus? Not the sexiest word, but when it rolled off his
soft, sumptuous lips, I felt like I could orgasm right there. He helped me into
the elevator—he had to. We went to the opposite ends of the elevator car. We
had to.
Then the
annoying thing happened where we heard multiple shouts of, “Hold the door.”
Damn!
Doesn’t anyone know common elevator etiquette?
I wanted to hit
the door-close button, but Rick, the consummate gentleman, held the doors open.
About twenty people piled on, separating Rick and I further. How was there this
many people in the elevator? Crap, I hoped they couldn’t sense what a hot, damp
mess I was. It was so freaking embarrassing, and I silently cursed Rick for
turning me on so much with a simple word. Not even a smutty word, but a
scientifically correct word. How did he do that? If I said fellatio, would it
turn him on?
Kathy was among
the passengers, and it was obvious she wanted to stand as close to Rick as
possible.
“Where are you
off to?” Kathy asked him. It was hard to see among the pile of people, but I
leaned my head back, and could just make out Kathy caressing Rick’s arm through
the myriad of elbows and shoulders that separated us.
“Lunch,” he
replied good-naturedly, moving his arm from her grasp. Man, he was so much
better at this than I was. Of course, I wasn’t able to whisper anything
scandalous in his ear.
“But it’s only
ten-thirty,” Kathy said.
“Oh, I was going
to run a few errands, but I could go for some brunch myself. I’d love to join
you.”
“No!” I hadn’t
meant to say it aloud, but I did. I didn’t quite yell it, but the pleading
whimper in my voice was unmistakable. People shifted in front of me and Kathy
shot me an annoyed look.
“I didn’t see
you there, Marley,” she said, although I knew she had.
Rick took charge
of the conversation quickly. “Kathy, Marley and I are doing a working lunch. We
have some…results to go over.” It amazed me how professional he sounded.
“Oh, on the
website beta testing?” Kathy asked.
“Yes, on that,”
Rick replied.
The elevator let
us off and I breathed a sigh of relief to be in an open space again. Kathy
wasn’t done though. She stopped in front of Rick, smiling broadly, flipping her
dark hair. “Well, if three’s not a crowd then like I said, I would love to join
you. I have some ideas of my own.”
Oh
crap! I almost laughed
at the absurdity of her statement, but I restrained myself, leaning against the
wall outside the elevator for support, not daring to speak again.
Rick smiled
brightly and took Kathy’s hand. He took her hand! “Kathy, I would love to hear
your ideas, but right now, I really need a one-on-one with Marley. I need to
give her all my input, no matter how long it takes. I need her to take all the
data I can possibly give her so she can…come…up with the finished reports.” His
loaded pause between the word ‘come’ was not lost on me. “It will be boring for
you to just watch us. I mean, there’s nothing you can do for me, right now. I’m
in desperate need of Marley’s assistance with this.” His words gushed with
sexual suggestion and he knew it…so did I.
Shannon's Review:
Seriously the cutest book
I have
read in a while. I absolutely loved this book. This is a must read. It
will have you laughing out loud and wanting you to scream the next.
Marley Mason is a funny,
spunky, bewildering young girl. Although she has a dark secret that she has to
figure out how to deal with. Her family is hilarious. Honestly it felt like I
was reading about my family and how they all interact with each other. Her
family was entertaining to say the least .And seriously from the synopsis the
kidnapping part was side-splitting.
Ricky Randy would always
be dressed in a suite if he was with me. He was pure gorgeousness. I love this synopsis
of this book because having put that he is masturbation material is dead set on
of the way I visualized him. In the book Marley says he is a match for a Chris
Pine. I could see that, only with different colored eyes.

I totally recommend this
book. You need to read it to find out about all the C words that are used in
this book. You need to also read it because it really was a cute book. I loved
how all the characters interacted with each other. And to be honest I forget
some characters names that aren't the main ones but these you cannot forget.
The author also uses music really good in the book for the emotions the
characters are feeling. LOVE IT!!! I am giving this book 4 hearts. Now go and
get it so you can see why Rick is masturbation material!!!
Thanks for the Great review, Shannon! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
