EXCERPT REVEAL – Abel (Broken Falls #2) by Laramie Briscoe

Mar 1

Posted by Book Loving Pixies

Title: Abel

Series: Broken Falls, #2

Author: Laramie Briscoe

Genre: Small Town Romance

Release Date: March 15, 2024

Excerpt

Exclusive first look at Abel…

I’m slightly nervous as I follow him into his kitchen. I gasp when I get a good look. His kitchen is my dream. Stainless steel appliances, cabinets painted a dark gray that almost pulls blue in the darkness coming through the back windows. White marble countertops are spotless and inviting. Contemporary lighting provides enough where it’s needed, and softens where it isn’t. “You have a pot filler,” I gasp with jealousy.

He laughs. “I do. When Dad and I were designing this place, he said I’d appreciate it if I were ever going to make dinner often. Since I do, I use it all the time.”

“You make dinner a lot?” I’m learning so much about him tonight.

“When I decided to buy this place and gut it, I didn’t have a ton of money. Still repaying college loans too,” he shrugs. “So while I do go out with my friends to the bar, I don’t spend a ton as I’m paying down stuff. Dad helped me more than he should’ve, but he wasn’t able to take care of everything. The amount of free labor and construction work he gave me for this place was well into the hundreds of thousands. My friends helped too, which is why they hang out here all the time when we aren’t working or at Monroe’s.”

The scent of whatever we’re going to eat permeates the room. “What else are you going to surprise me with tonight?” I tilt my head to the side.

“Hopefully everything you never imagined I would be.”

Our eyes meet, and I get lost in the green depths of his. I’ve seen them in many different situations and they tend to change colors depending on what’s happening. It runs the gamut from very light to dark, like the luscious floor of the rainforest. “I don’t really know you at all do I?” My voice is quiet as I observe him. “Does anyone really know you?”

He scratches the back of his neck, ducking his head down. “There are very few people who do, and I prefer it that way.”

“Why? You always seem so open with everyone.” I’m beginning to realize many of us have secrets.

“It’s complicated.”

I walk over to him, and grab his hand in mine. “We’re all complicated, but can I put it out there I would love to get to know your complications.” I’m never this forward, but there’s something about him standing in this amazing kitchen, telling me little snippets that make him the person he is. I’m taking them all and putting them in my pocket – pieces to the puzzle that make up this man.

He runs a palm over his stubble. “You’re probably just about the only person I’d let do that.”

Blurb:

A year worth of flirting comes down to this kiss…

Abel

I’ve eaten more tacos the past year than I have my entire life. It’s not because I love those little handfuls of goodness (although I do). It’s because of the woman who runs the local food truck Let’s Taco Bout It. Seeing her makes my day, and while I can’t admit my feelings, I can at least see her smile.

Until Halloween. When a man gives her attention she doesn’t want, she pretends we’re together, and lays a kiss on me that I’ll never forget.

Kara

I’ve spent the last year watching the hottie in the constantly torn and dirty jeans eating shyly walking up to my food truck and ordering the same thing each time. I’ve done my best to drag him out of his shell, but nothing works until a night of unwanted attention forces me to make a move.

Now? He’s hanging around even more, and when his husky voice calls me his girlfriend? I melt into a puddle, and he’s the only one who can pick me up and put me back together again.

Abel is book two in The Broken Falls Series: a series of interconnected standalones following a group of friends who have become family in small-town West Virginia, and the women who bring them to their knees. You do not have to read them in order, but each book builds upon the relationships of the last.

GEM: A PRIVATELY-FUNDED ORGANIZATION OPERATING INDEPENDENTLY IN THE SEARCH FOR—AND THE RESCUE AND RECOVERY OF—MISSING AND EXPLOITED CHILDREN. ALTHOUGH, AT TIMES WORKING IN CONJUNCTION WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT, GEM AIMS TO ENSURE THE VICTIMS RECEIVE JUSTICE…BY WHATEVER MEANS NECESSARY.
____

GEM Operator Opal; multifaceted, versatile, a chameleon.

She hides in plain sight, adapts, and infiltrates.

When Opal goes undercover in a youth center several teenagers have disappeared from, she’s shocked to find a ghost of her own traumatic past at the helm. However, her worry for the missing kids is greater than her concern being recognized and she risks her own safety to discover the truth.

To complicate matters, a familiar FBI agent shows up conducting his own investigation and almost blows the whistle on her. It takes some doing to convince him to join forces with her but as it turns out, they work well together.

In the course of uncovering an organized group of child molesters, they find themselves falling—for each other.

Book Blurb:

Open roads and honor meets poke bowls and self-control.

I’m a homesick nomad.

A protégé, a mountain man, an ally, and a seeker.

My name is Wapi.

I’m a work in progress looking to belong, and though my road has been a winding one, my heart has found focus.

We got off on the wrong foot—hostility thick between us—but when murder hits close to home bringing about a second chance, those sparks now stoke a different flame.

Setting hearts on fire.

BLP REVIEW – Tracy

I’m a fan of Freya and her books but Edge of Nowhere was more than I expected.

Wapi and Lindsey made a great couple and I really liked their book. I particularly enjoyed that their story took place mainly away from their home ground and involved some well known faces that I definitely was not expecting to catch up with!!

Wapi had a fair amount of guilt and regrets that he piled on himself as he hadn’t been able to save Lindsey from previous harm.. so much so that he disappeared and stayed away for a few years. Once he came home and got his head on straight he showed how loyal and committed he could be and proved more than once that he was always gonna be there for Linds.

Lindsey, understandably, was leery about having much to do with Wapi given his lack of contact, disappearance and ‘sudden’ interest on his return. She was strong, resourceful and determined and showed these traits through her actions during the read.

This pair had a connection that Lindsey thought was going somewhere prior to Wapi taking off and this spark and attraction hadn’t dulled much in the time since. I loved seeing them in a different place, adjusting and adapting to what was going on around them and building their relationship.

There were a couple of different threads and a few surprises in the story and I’m hoping to catch up with some things in future books. My only wee quibble…… there was a big surprise that I would have loved to see a reaction to…. that aside, this was a fab, action packed, suspenseful read and another hit from Freya.

Excerpt:

“Where are you going?” I ask as she tries to slip past me to the stairs.

She turns to face me, pointing at a spot on her blouse, but my eyes get hung up on the peek of cleavage the generous V allows.

“Nice. You look great.”

She does. The boots, the worn jeans, the flowy top, and the fuckable hairdo. She looks hot.

“Excuse me, that’s not where I’m pointing,” she schools me. “I need to put some water on this, you made me spill my taco,” she clarifies.

“I did?”

Seems like a bit of a stretch, given that I was here and she was sitting all the way over there, but I like the sound of putting water on her blouse. It’ll only improve the view.

“You startled me. What are you doing here anyway?” she asks, narrowing her eyes on me.

I lean my hip against the railing and cross my arms, smirking at her.

“Watching the rodeo, like everyone else.”

She crosses her own arms and grins back. “Let me guess, this was a last-minute decision?”

Her eyes sparkle, drawing me in.

“Maybe,” I concede, taking a step closer.

“It wouldn’t have anything to do with me being here, would it?” she probes.

“It’s a distinct possibility.”

I take another step until I’m flush against her. Then, with the tip of my finger, I lift her chin and take her mouth. It’s so damn easy to get lost in this woman, I almost forget where I am until a couple of whistles go up behind me.

Then someone yells, “Not the kind of bucking I thought I was in for tonight. Sit the hell down or get a damn room!”

Releasing Lindsey, I snap my head around to pinpoint the smart-ass. Instead, I catch sight of Booger and the other two I decided to bring, snickering in their seats. So I shoot them a glare instead.

At that moment Lindsey makes her escape, darting down the stairs. I point a finger at the boys. “Do not move.” Then I take off after her.

I just catch sight of her slipping into the bathrooms and resign myself to wait outside. I lean my back against the wall and get comfortable, but I don’t have to wait that long before she reappears. She tries to hide a smile when she catches sight of me pushing off from the wall.

“You know, I could probably find my own way back.”

“I’m aware,” I tell her, touching the wet spot on her shirt before lifting my hands to her face. “But I just needed another taste without the audience.”

I keep the kiss short and sweet. An appetizer for later.

“I’ll come by after.”

She tilts her head. “I’m sorry, I must have missed the question in there.” Then she glances past me toward the rodeo arena. “And you’re making me miss the cowboys.”

“F*ck the cowboys,” I grumble, giving her hair a little tug. “If I show up later, will you be home?”

“Probably. Unless I get a better offer,” she teases, before brushing past me toward the stairs.

“You’d better be,” I call after her. “Or I’ll come looking for you.”

At the base of the stairs, she looks back, a smirk on her face.

“Yippee ki-yay.”

RELEASE BLITZ – Boone (Broken Falls #1) by Laramie Briscoe

Jan 13

Posted by Book Loving Pixies

I’m old enough to be her father, and a life-long confirmed bachelor, but after one night together, all that is about to change.

Blurb:

Boone Wilson

Instead of building my forever with a conventional family, I’ve dedicated my life to being the best father I can to the son I had way too early in life. Now that he’s grown, I’m giving all I can to my job. I make a construction site run smoothly, and can build anything with a couple pieces of wood and my imagination.

My world is small and calm. That’s how I like it. Until Alexis Monroe barrels her way into my peaceful existence and turns my world upside down.

Alexis Monroe

Since graduating college I’ve been hustling, trying to make a dent in the crippling student loan debt I’ve accumulated. Just when I think I’m about to hit major burnout, Boone Wilson walks into the bar I sling drinks at.

His swagger and quiet self-assuredness is a flame that draws me to him.

All I can do now? Try not to get burned.

The Broken Falls Series is a new small-town, steamy, blue collar romance series set in the fictional town of Broken Falls, WV from USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author, Laramie Briscoe.

BLP REVIEW – Tracy

I adored this read. Boone was perfect for Alexis.

I really liked Boone’s view on having his son so young. It wasn’t easy but they grew together and just have a fantastic relationship. All Abel wants is for his dad to be happy, even if that means bringing someone new into the ‘family’ that they have. I love found family / family of choice in a book and Boone and his boy had a great group around them.

I’m not always a fan of age differences but it didn’t feel like an issue with Alexia and Boone. Alexis knew what she wanted – and what she didn’t – and I was all for how willing Boone was to fully support her in the things she did.
Alexis was the first person that Boone could see more than one night with and his acknowledgement of that was quick as was his determination to make sure that Alexis was aware he was all in.

A great read about love, adapting your expectations and grabbing your future with both hands when you see it.
No third act break up was the extra cherry on top for me.

Excellent first book in this new small town series. I cannot wait to read Abel’s story!!

**Thanks to Buoni Amici Press for an advance copy of Boone. As with all fave authors of mine I’ve already got my own kindle copy on order. All thoughts are my own. **

Blurb:

From USA Today Bestselling Authors, Chasity Bowlin and Laramie Briscoe, comes a brand new small town series full of spice, steam, and second chances.

Cody

Bellehaven, KY was in my rearview as soon as I got my diploma and walked off the high-school stage. Fifteen years later, I don’t expect to be back.

I sure don’t expect to be seeing the woman I had a one-night stand with at our senior prom, or be coaching the same high-school basketball team I played for. The team that includes her son; a freshman.

Emma

From afar, I watched as Cody Willett became everything he said he would be. Famous, and a future NBA hall-of-famer–until an injury derailed his career. Now he’s the coach for my son’s team. I’m keeping a secret though. One that’s bound to destroy us from the inside out.

Not many are given a second chance, and we’re bound to screw this up, but what if we don’t? What if this is the happy ever after everyone wants and deserves? With a fear I’ve only felt once before, I’m reaching out with both hands, grabbing hold, and refusing to let go.

Excerpt:

“You two,” I point to JT and his partner-in-crime Joseph Lee. “Where were you last night?” They’re both green around the gills and their faces are as gray as the sky on a rainy day. “And don’t lie to me.”

Joseph sighs heavily, tilting his head back, speaking as he does. “We were at a field party.”

There’s a loud groan that runs through the kids. “Shit.” Someone whispers.

“And what else was going on there last night, JT?”

He huffs loudly. “We were drinkin’.”

“And who all was there? I want a show of hands right now. Every single one of you who were there, even if you weren’t drinking. There should be zero parties on a school night, not during basketball season. Not when we’re going for a damn state championship. Raise ’em up. Be men, not boys.” All but three hands go up. “Are these three telling the truth?” There are murmurs of yes, that they’re being honest. “Alright, you three can go. The rest of you? You’re gonna find out why it sucks to party the night before school. I want suicide drills, until I tell you to stop.”

“Coach,” JT holds his stomach. “I will puke.”

“Then you’ll puke.” I give him a look. “I don’t care. You’re gonna give me your apology in the sweat you put on this floor.”

BLP REVIEW – Tracy

Oh Lordy….. I finished this in less than a day, I was hooked, totally invested and NEEDED to find out how things were gonna work out for the main characters.

I love me a Laramie Briscoe book and when I heard she was writing a new small town series with Chasity Bowlin I was intrigued. These ladies did not disappoint, this was a fantastic start to The Bellehaven Hotties!!!

This had all the tropes I’m currently loving – second chance, secret pregnancy, mc’s still feeling ALL the feels for each other – there’s a tons of heat and a palpable connection between Cody and Em even after so much time apart, though they’re both keeping secrets and everyone (and their dog, hey, it’s a small town after all!!) have questions about how things are gonna go.

I liked both Emma & Cody and Troy was a really good guy. JT was your atypical teen, trying to find his place and while some of his actions made me want to yell at him (I’m mum to a 21yo, I’ve been there 🙄🙃) I got it but, all in all, he was a pretty good kid!!!!
I’m looking forward to seeing how this family works throughout the series.

EXCERPT ONE

“What are you going to do about it?” I taunt.

He shoves my thighs apart with his knees. “Take you, baby. The way you like.”

The scary thing about it? He does know what I like; already. And I pray he never forgets.

EXCERPT TWO

“You’re not scaring me,” I insist. “I’m definitely a go-with-the-flow kind of woman, and I’m down for just about anything. Am I worried you’re going to wake up and realize you’ve completely destructed your whole belief system based on a few nights with me?” I shrug, pulling a piece of my hair through my fingers. “Yeah, but I’ve almost always been the type of person who believes things happen when they’re supposed to. If this is our time, then it is. If it ends? Who knows how I’ll feel, but I’ll ride this wave until it hits the shore, Boone, because that’s who I am.”

He chuckles. “Destructing a whole belief system. That’s definitely one way of putting it. Everyone has always told me; I’d know. When the right woman came along, I’d fall. Fall hard, fall fast, fall with everything in me. Am I ready to tell you I love you? No, not yet, and I don’t know when I will be. The only person I’ve ever loved is my son. I’m not sure I’ll know how to handle it for someone else,” he rolls his lips. “What I can promise you is I’ll try.”

He’s giving me everything, whether he realizes it or not. Everything of him, that he’s able to give. I promise myself I won’t ask for more. Not for me, not for him, and what he’s willing to give will be enough. “That’s all I ask. This is a good time, until it’s more, or until it’s over.”

BLURB

I’m old enough to be her father, and a life-long confirmed bachelor, but after one night together, all that is about to change.

Boone Wilson

Instead of building my forever with a conventional family, I’ve dedicated my life to being the best father I can to the son I had way too early in life. Now that he’s grown, I’m giving all I can to my job. I make a construction site run smoothly, and can build anything with a couple pieces of wood and my imagination.

My world is small and calm. That’s how I like it. Until Alexis Monroe barrels her way into my peaceful existence and turns my world upside down.

Alexis Monroe

Since graduating college I’ve been hustling, trying to make a dent in the crippling student loan debt I’ve accumulated. Just when I think I’m about to hit major burnout, Boone Wilson walks into the bar I sling drinks at.

His swagger and quiet self-assuredness is a flame that draws me to him.

All I can do now? Try not to get burned.
