Hi there!
Welcome back to Satisfaction for Insatiable Readers.
Today, we're joining the pre-pub celebration buzz for a NEW TITLE COMING SOON to a bookstore shelf near you via HQN! It's the third in a series, but speaking from personal experience, it can totally be read as a stand alone...than again, it was SO GOOD, why on earth would you want to read just one?!?! Am I right? Of course I am...at least about this 😉 ...and since I'm going to leave it at that, let's get this show on the road! Ladies and gents, today's book of choice is front and center in all it's pre pub glory waiting for YOU to take a closer look...

About the book...
Sometimes what you find isn’t what you were searching for
Beau Petty has been searching his whole life. Searching for a place that fills all the empty spaces in him. Searching for a way to tame the restlessness. Searching for answers to the secret he’s never stopped trying to solve. What he wasn’t searching for was a woman to claim all of him, but when Cora Silvera walks back into his life, he’s ready to search out all the ways he can make her his.
Cora has spent her life as the family nurturer, taking care of others. But now she’s ready to pass that job on to someone else. It’s time to make some changes and live for herself. It’s in that moment that her former teenage crush reappears and the draw and the heat of their instant connection is like nothing either of them has experienced. He craves being around her. She accepts him, dark corners and all.
Beau thinks Cora’s had enough drama in her life. He wants to protect her from the secrets of his past, even if it means holding back the last pieces of himself. But Cora is no pushover and she means to claim all those pieces.

This book was beyond perfect! Don't believe me? Well, I'm entitled to my opinion and I'm about to share it with you, so sit back, relax, and...wait no, scratch that. Grab your WISH LIST and make room for this puppy (oh...PUPPY! Wait, focus...) because you're not gonna want to miss this!
Truth be told...I was constantly waiting on the other shoe to drop. Really, who's life could be THIS perfect? Yes, there were histories to deal with (some rather scarring too!), and parental units to battle, but honestly, Cora's life was like a fairy tale once Beau came into the picture, and wanna know something even better? Beau recognized that she had the same effect on his life...not something that happens in every story while still keeping the leads masculinity and hotness factor in tact, but boy does he check every box on the list! You know, the list...the one of all the things you'd LOVE in a match? Yeah, he's got it...and she's a catch and a half herself! Despite their perfection, both individually but even more so together, the story didn't seem contrived...though I would have liked to learn a bit more about his past and how it was tying into their present/future. Seemed like quite the story to be told there...
In the end, I ADORED EVERY MOMENT! It was ridiculously fun and sexy with a cast of characters you can't help but adore! From their happenstance reunion to their first kiss, the realigning of lives to the "new addition to the family", the gorgeous house to friends old and new, there is so much to celebrate here, I don't truly know where to start...except to recommend adult Contemporary Romance fans (definitely some sexy times!) to grab a copy next week (release day...woot woot!) and see for yourself! Though it was my first experience with this author's writing, I guarantee it won't be my last.

About the author...
The story goes like this – while on pregnancy bed rest, Lauren Dane had plenty of down time so her husband took her comments about “giving that writing thing a serious go” to heart and brought home a secondhand laptop. She wrote her first book on it before it gave up the ghost. Even better, she sold that book and never looked back.
Today Lauren is a New York Times bestselling author of over fifty novels and novellas across several genres.
