Congratulations to CA Harms on the release of BARE!
I redirect my gaze to my brother only this time I push back. “You wanna hit me, hit me.” I lean in closer to him, ensuring he reads the determination in my eyes. “If you want to yell and fucking scream then do it, but know one thing, you will be moving out of my way so that I can get to her. Because not you or anyone else for that matter is gonna to keep me from her.”
“Noone but Mandy that is,” he adds just before releasing his hold on me.
“I told you it wasn’t like that.”
“You were with her all day,” he adds. “Yet you never felt the need to tell anyone about the plans I’m sure you’ve had for days to meet her. If that’s not guilt for doing something you knew you shouldn’t then I don’t know what is.”
We stand there, head to head in the small space near the entry door to the room. Aric glaring at me as if at any moment he would attack, and at that point I wasn’t so sure I would stop him. I felt defeated because he was right, I fucked up.
“Alec,” the sound of Brynn’s voice causes both of us to move toward her, as I quickly survey the damage. No longer did her stomach show the evidence of our child and the reality of what had taken place while I was unreachable hit me.

★ Excerpt 1 - Their First Encounter...
“Gia French, is it? Am I pronouncing that correctly?” the ticketing agent at Reagan Washington National asks.
“It’s Gia like the letter G, then yuh—Gee-yuh.”
“That’s a pretty name. May I have your passport please?”
I thank her and politely hand it over.
It’s been a remarkable journey touring the east coast of the United States but it must end. Unfortunately, I am two days ahead of schedule because my director at Versace in Milan unexpectedly wants to meet with me tomorrow because he’ll be traveling in a few days.
I arrived at the ticket counter to see if I could find a way to change my plans and make it on the next flight out of here to get back to Milan in time for a meeting tomorrow evening. According to my research, a flight leaves here in a little over an hour. It looked packed but I intend to get on it.
The airport traffic is dying now that it’s 8 p.m. Thankfully, I’m the only one in line. But I’m anxious and hoping the agent can quickly work this out in time for me to make it through security and catch the flight.
“Excuse me,” a man walks up to the counter. “I need to get out of here—urgently.”
“And you assume I don’t,” I respond slightly perturbed by his intrusion.
The attendant responds to him. “Look, sir, I’m the only one working here right now so you’re going to have to wait until I finish things here with this customer.”
“Thank you,” I nod at her in approval and smile.
“Well, can you hurry it up already?”
How rude.
The woman ignores him and she tries to sort me out while he huffs and puffs behind me.
I turn to him and smile. “You know, rudeness will only get you so far,” utter sarcasm filters through my words. “Sometimes a little politeness can take you a long way. Pardon me…I don’t mean to intrude…or maybe you could have asked me nicely first. That’s called manners, or didn’t you learn those? Do they not exist on the planet you come from?”
His vivid blue eyes turn dark and cold. “Listen, lady, I’m not in the mood, okay.”
“Well, neither am I, so back off and let me handle my business,” I snap.
He doesn’t respond and looks at something on his phone.
The clerk manages to get me on a flight from here to Munich and from Munich to Milan. I’ll have to head straight from the airport to my meeting but barring no delays, I’ll get there on time.
“Here you go Ms. French.” She hands me my boarding passes and passport. “Your flight leaves out of gate twenty-two in fifty-five minutes.”
“Thank you.”
As I turn to leave, the man behind me stares at me crossly when my carry-on suitcase is stuck in the strap of his. When I yank it away, the case turns off its wheels and runs over his foot.
“Maybe you should watch where you’re going,” he says tersely.
“Maybe you should keep your belongings out of the way,” I retort. “Considering it’s beyond the check-in line, that’s a hindrance and a liability.”
“You know what? Why don’t you just mind your own business and get lost.”
“Gladly,” I respond. “Cuzão!”
“What was that?” he shouts from behind me.
I swear he’s trying to provoke me.
I stop and turn to him, “I said you’re an asshole. What are you going to do, beat me up? You stupid dingbat.”
I stomp away curtly with my blood-red stilettos pounding the terrazzo floors making it through security and to the gate just in time to get onto the aircraft.

★ Excerpt 2 - Sexual Hedonism...
“Are you single? Are you seeing anyone?”
“No. I’m not in a relationship with anyone except my two dogs Bella and Cudjoe. In addition, if I were seeing anyone, I would not have spent that time with you. There are two girls I see, but it’s purely sexual.”
“I can’t believe you just admitted that to me.” “It is what it is.” “Do they know about each other?” “Yes—they’re best friends.” “And you have sex…with both of them?” “Yes.” “Together?” “Yes.” “You’re a freak…a promiscuous male slut.” A sexy grin crosses his lips. “I’ve been called worse, but don’t expect me to apologize just because I’m sexually uninhibited.” I find his honesty both refreshing and appalling. “Why would I expect you to apologize? And who says you’re the only one who’s sexually uninhibited?” He nearly chokes on his wine. I giggle. “Does that surprise you?” “Let’s just say I was not expecting that response.” He laughs. “Well, I’m not a slut and I don’t engage in threesomes but I thoroughly enjoy great sex with the right man.” “As you should.” “So do you use protection when you engage in all this hedonism?” “Always.” He winks at me. “So when do you intend to see them next?”
Rebecca Rohman is a wife and designer currently living in the northeastern United States. She was a sales manager for a tourist magazine, and for many years prior, she was involved in marketing for a jewelry company and fine wine distributor.
About fifteen years ago, she started writing her first romance novel purely to entertain herself. In early 2012, she decided to complete and release it. Since then, she has released four additional novels including Translating The Tides and three novellas. Translating The Tides is her eighth release.
Although Rebecca Rohman’s novels standalone, they can be read together because they share the same characters. The novellas are follow-up books to the full-length novels. They’re listed below in the order they were released in case you’d like to read them together.
J.E. Parker is an American romance author who was born and raised in the great state of North Carolina. A southern belle at heart, she’s addicted to sweet tea, Cheerwine, and peach cobbler.
Not only is J.E. married to the man of her dreams (albeit a total pain in the rear), she’s also the mother of a herd of sweet (sometimes), and angelic (only when they’re sleeping) children. Despite their occasional demonic behavior and bottomless stomachs, J.E. loves her little tribe more than words could ever express.
On the weekends, you can find her sitting on the couch, cheering on (or cursing) her favorite football team, stuffing her face with junk food, and guzzling a bottle of cheap red wine.
When she’s not busy making sure her husband doesn’t burn the house down or acting as a referee for her fighting children, J.E. enjoys reading, writing (obviously), and listening to a wide variety of music.

Uhh, this book was so good that I’m struggling on how to write a review without giving spoilers cause there is so much I want to say, but need you to read it to understand where my struggle is coming from. Typically, I write reviews with no delay, this one has so many feels, thoughts and things that we hope to see in the future on secondary characters. OK, Here I go the best way I can to persuade you to take a chance and read this story and fall in love with these two damaged souls.
Shelby has a dark past that she is struggling to leave behind and her only goal besides caring for her little boy that we just want to squeeze is remaining free from a monster that we know is lurking in the shadows waiting to pounce. She has a heart of gold and her trust issues are validated, trust me. There is a behind the scene character that you feel sad for and heartwarming all at once when it comes to Shelby’s actions for this person. I’ll leave it at that except I hope it ends up with a happy outcome. Her job at the Shelter is her passion to save others from the past she experienced.
Anthony has his own demons being a detective, but he is one of the most loving and sweetest guy you will see when it comes to Shelby and “His Prince”. I will say, “thank you, Toluca cops for not doing your job properly this time” cause this brought Anthony to town and from the moment they see each other in the station you see the sparks fly. From that moment on, he will do everything in his power to learn more about Shelby and help her overcome her past and keep the monster(s) away. Yes, plural and you will see why.
Holy smokes! There’s a scene that after much mystery is revolved and just wait until it “Pops” cause while you may be able to start to think, “can it be possible?” oh it is and then you kinda see fate revolve around these characters and it makes it that more touching and heartwarming that a fateful night brought Shelby to the town and the meeting of Maddie. Speaking of Maddie I love that if you read book one you get to see where this set of characters stand and the other secondary characters are and where they may be going (well at least we hope we can start pairing some of them). If you have not read book one, no fear each book is a stand alone and about a different set of characters so while you see other characters enough background is given to make you feel those characters as well.
There is shock when it comes to the monster(s) and laughter when it comes to Grandmamma. Oh my, she is a character and is crazy, but we love her! These men are not only hot, but each alpha man meets their match with these strong and crazy women in this bunch. Every Breath You Take is truly a Sunshine in this meant to be pair. I cannot wait for more on the Redeeming Love series.
