Synopsis:

When Officer Rick Boyd answers a call about a peeping Tom, he doesn’t expect to find a gorgeous woman holding the binoculars. But Gina Silvano’s no peeping Tom, and she can catch her cupcake truck’s kinky vandals herself, thank you very much. No sexy cops required.

No matter how hot their stakeouts, by-the-book Officer Boyd can’t see a future with a dangerous, rule-breaking wild-child who despises the law. He’s never felt more alive, though, and expunging her from his heart might be impossible. But loving each other might cost them more than they are able to give.

Exclusive Excerpt

Rick moved closer to the rustling bag while Gina stood stock-still, her eyes wide and anxious.

“What is it?” she whispered.

“I think a mouse has decided to help himself to the rest of our cupcakes.”

“What?” she shrieked.

Before he could say another word, she’d jumped up on her chair. Not designed for trampoline practice, the thin plastic promptly shredded. Rick reached out to catch her as one leg went through the plastic and the rest of her went sideways. He caught her before she hit the ground. But apparently their movements landed them a little too close to the occupied bag for her comfort because she took one look down, gasped, and climbed him like a tree.

“What are you doing?” he asked, both laughing and grunting as she twisted around him.

“Get rid of it!”

“What, the bag?” He grabbed her around the waist to keep her from falling ass-first onto the hard roof.

“No! The damn mouse, or rat, or whatever the hell it is!”

The bag rustled again, and she squeezed her legs around his waist and gripped his neck so tight she was dangerously close to strangling him.

“I can’t do anything if you don’t loosen your grip.”

She tore her gaze from the bag o’ death at their feet and looked at him. “Oh. Sorry,” she said, letting up a little.

He took a nice deep breath. “Thank you.”

His eyes met hers, and she seemed to realize the position she’d gotten them into. Her legs and arms wrapped about him. His hands beneath her butt and thighs, holding her up. Their faces only inches apart. All their delicate bits pressed as close as they could get with their clothing still on.

Her cheeks flashed fifty shades of red in the faint light coming from the streetlight below.

“Sorry,” she murmured again. “You, um, can put me down now.”

He tightened his hold on her. “You sure?” he asked, not wanting to let her go. He liked the way she felt molded to his body. The vanilla scent of her hung in the air between them, whetting his appetite for something a little sweeter than the cupcakes in the rat bag. All he had to do was close the distance between them…

Her breathing sped up, her lips parting with a little sigh. Her gaze zeroed in on his lips and there was no hiding from her how he felt about her wrapped around him. For a split second, her legs tightened their hold on his waist, pressing even closer. Her eyes fluttered closed. But then she shook her head and loosened her grip.

“Yeah, I’m sure,” she said, pushing away from him. “But…put me on the chair until you get rid of that thing.”

He chuckled and reluctantly deposited her on top of the chair he’d been sitting in. Then he bent and swiftly scooped up the bag, rolling the top down so whatever was inside couldn’t get out.

Kira Archer’s Music Playlist

Music is a very strong inspiration for me. It isn’t necessary for my writing process, but it can really help set the mood or get a scene in my head if I need a little help. And as it is summer and my kids are home all day, it’s also great for drowning out the background noise ;-) I tend to listen to instrumental music when writing as lyrics can be a bit difficult to tune out sometimes. My go-to faves depend on the mood I’m going for. For more angsty/sad/tense scenes I gravitate toward The Piano Guys, Evanescence, Apocalyptica, E.S. Posthumus, and Rob Dougan.

My current release, Totally, Sweetly, Irrevocably, is a funny book with characters who enjoy pushing each other’s buttons. So I kept the music light and upbeat. My playlist mostly consisted of Lindsey Stirling and Parov Stelar on Pandora. A few of my favorite songs of theirs:

Lindsey Stirling: Master of Tides, Roundtable Rival, and The Arena

Parov Stelar: Booty Swing, Catgroove, and All Night

I also listened to my Old School playlist quite a bit – gotta love that 90’s music ;-) Some faves from that list are:

Shoop – Salt N Pepa

Poison – Poison

Steal My Sunshine – LEN

Da Dip – Freak Nasty

Opposites Attract – Paula Abdul

Mainly anything that made me want to dance or put a smile on my face was good for this book!

Adorable.

Absolutely adorable.

And funny. Wow. When I went into this, I assumed there would be some humor, but this one takes the cake. It was just the type of read I needed after the more serious ones I’ve been tackling lately. I don’t think I’ve laughed so much reading a book in a very long time. So author lady, my hat is off to you for the sheer amount of laughs you brought with this.

What also drew me to this is that the hero and the heroine weren’t typical. You had a rainbow haired, down with authority, I’m gonna do it myself kind of gal in Gina and then you had the straight laced, follow the rules, hottie with a badge in Rick. It was unique, different and it connected me even more to the story I was about to embark on.

And what a story it was. It was humorous as I’ve said before, but real. I could actually see situations like what these two face happening in real time. In fact, I’m pretty sure, at least in terms of relationships on the daily, they do happen and that is what had me flipping pages faster than I think I ever have, wanting—no, needing to see how it all played out.

The writing style was great, the banter between the characters, what takes place for a good portion of this story was phenomenal and the love story, well it was just sweet as hell. These two are basically the epitome of opposites attracting but they did it so beautifully. They really were meant to be, even when neither of them could understand how it would work long term, what with Gina’s past as it pertains to authority figures like Rick.

Absolutely beautiful read and one that I’m very glad I took the chance on considering this is my first go around with this author. Now I’ve gotta go back and read the first book and fall in love even more.

My thanks to the author and all others involved for letting me read an ARC of this story. Rick and Gina’s journey was wonderfully refreshing and I’m so happy I got to be a part of it.

Synopsis:

An inherited parking spot. That’s all it took to make Natalie Moran’s food truck dreams come true. But her dream space is attached to a bakery inherited by someone else—drop dead gorgeous Eric Schneider, a financial consultant who wouldn’t know a cupcake from a cannoli. And he wants to buy Nat out, no matter what she has to say about it.

Eric’s determined to build his own business, but he needs the super cute klutz with the cupcake truck to help. If Nat will teach him the basics of running a bakery, he’ll give her free kitchen time. Except…neither expects the heat burning between them or the possibility that their arrangement might become permanent. When it all blows up, Nat is convinced his actions mean betrayal. It’s up to Eric to regain her trust and show her he’s a man who is truly, madly in love with her, before she disappears from his life forever.

About Kira Archer

Kira Archer resides in Pennsylvania with her husband, two kiddos, and far too many animals in the house. She tends to laugh at inappropriate moments, break all the rules she gives her kids (but only when they aren’t looking), and would rather be reading a book than doing almost anything else. She has odd, eclectic tastes in just about everything and often lets her imagination run away with her. She loves her romances a little playful, a lot sexy, and always with a happily ever after.
