Excerpt
When I got to the house she was
asleep on the couch. Jet and Ayden were gone for the night, so I scooped her up
and took her in her room to put her to bed. She woke up when I was pulling her
swirly hot-pink sundress off over her head. She blinked those wicked-colored
eyes at me and tried to focus.
“Hey.”
“Hey.”
She yawned and stretched her arms
up over her head. The one with all the brightly inked flowers on it curled
around my neck on the way down.
“I’m exhausted.”
I let her tug me down so I could
kiss her on her waiting mouth.
“Long day at work?”
She shook her head and ran her
fingers over the short hair on the back of my head.
“No. Just sleepy all day. I was
going to stay awake and wait up for you but I couldn’t keep my eyes open.”
I kissed her again and she put
her hands under the hem of my T-shirt.
“You don’t have to wait up for
me. I was just going to put you in bed and crawl in next to you.”
“If we’re going to be in bed
together, neither one of us needs to be sleeping.”
Man, this girl was just something
else and it only took about two seconds to get both of us naked and down to
business. I fell asleep pretty quickly afterward and as usual she was draped
across the top of me from shoulder to hip. In reality it had only been a very
short time since we had invaded each other’s life, but something about it just
felt like this was the way it was supposed to be.
At least if felt that way until
sometime in the early morning.

About the Book
Title: Rome (Marked Men #3)Author: Jay Crownover
Genre: New Adult
Publication Date: January 7, 2014
Publisher: William Morrow an imprint of HarperCollins Publishing
Event organized by: Literati Author Services, Inc.
Cora Lewis is a whole lot of fun, and she knows how to keep her tattooed bad boy friends in line. But all that flash and sass hide the fact that she’s never gotten over the way her first love broke her heart. Now she has a plan to make sure that never happens again: She’s only going to fall in love with someone perfect.
Rome Archer is as far from perfect as a man can be. He’s stubborn and rigid, he’s bossy and has come back from his final tour of duty fundamentally broken. Rome’s used to filling a role: big brother, doting son, super soldier; and now none of these fit anymore. Now he’s just a man trying to figure out what to do with the rest of his life while keeping the demons of war and loss at bay. He would have been glad to suffer it alone, until Cora comes sweeping into his life and becomes the only color on his bleak horizon.
Perfect isn’t in the cards for these two, but imperfect might just last forever . . .

About the Author
I’m supposed to share interesting details about myself so that my readers get to know me so here we go in no particular order: I’m an natural redhead even though I haven’t seen my real hair color in years, I’m a big fan of tattoos and have a half sleeve on either arm and various other pieces all over the place, I’ve been in the bar industry since I was in college and it has always offered interesting insight into how men and women interact with each other, I have 3 dogs that are all crazy, I live in Colorado and love the snow, I love music and in all reality wish I could be a rock star not a writer or a bartender but I have zero talent so there is that.
I love to write, love to read and all I’m interested in is a good story with interesting characters that make the reader feel something.
