Today I am so pleased to welcome Aimee Nicole Walker to Joyfully Jay. Aimee has come to talk to us about her latest release, Bad at Love. She has also brought along a great giveaway. Please join me in giving her a big welcome!
Excerpt
He took another sip of Ridge’s water, earning an incredulous glare. Oops. Drinking after strangers was gross, yet he’d done it twice in a row without a single thought for his health or safety. He didn’t want to delve too deeply into his actions because the repressed parts of him would start suggesting other things belonging to Ridge that Kendall could stick in his mouth.
“About this nickname…”
“I look just like my dad, who everyone refers to as a mountain of a man.”
“Ah, I see,” Kendall said. “That made you his little mountain ridge.”
Without thinking, Kendall reached across the table and wiped the smear of sauce off Ridge’s lips, then brought his thumb to his own mouth to clean it. “Mmmm. Tastes like Regret.”
Ridge stared at Kendall’s mouth for much longer than appropriate before looking back up. The penetrative stare made Kendall want to wiggle like a worm on a hook or Kendall on a big cock. He was an unapologetic size queen, and this guy…No. No. And hell no.
“The sauce perfectly describes my mood.”
“Uh-oh,” Kendall said. “Sounds like trouble.”
Ridge’s answering smile was diabolical. “Something tells me you’re intimately acquainted with trouble.”
“We have a love-hate relationship,” Kendall admitted. “We’re not on speaking terms right now.”
“Pity.”
Don’t I know it. “So what brought you to the point where you’re scarfing down extremely hot chicken wings with no regard for your safety?”
“You drank all my water,” Ridge said, nodding toward the empty glass.
“So I did. I’ll get you a clean glass.” Kendall pushed his chair away from the table, but Ridge reached out and snagged his wrist before he could stand up.
“Stay. I like you.”
“Thank you.”
Ridge chuckled. “Not going to return the sentiment?”
“I don’t know you, so how do I know if I like you?” Kendall leaned forward and dropped his voice. “I like what I see a whole lot, but I’m not the answer to whatever is bothering you.” Kendall cocked his head. “I’m a good listener, though.”
Blurb
Bad at making decisions or bad at love? Either way, Kendall Blakemore doesn’t trust his judgment. He falls too hard, too fast, and always for the wrong guy. Needing a major shakeup, Kendall moves into his own place for the first time and seizes a new career opportunity. But everything he thought he wanted turns out to be the last thing he needs. When loneliness threatens to derail Kendall’s good behavior, he decides to rent out his spare bedroom. What could go wrong? Try a tenant who’s temptation incarnate.
Bad at commitment or born to roam? Either way, US Deputy Marshal Kurt Dandridge feels trapped. Maybe staying in one place for too long is the source of his unhappiness, or maybe it’s because he’s engaged to the wrong person. Finding his fiancé in bed with another man takes care of one problem but creates another. Ridge needs a place to live. He’d leave Savannah altogether if not for his vow to apprehend an elusive fugitive. Renting a room from Kendall Blakemore seems like the perfect solution until Ridge finds himself falling for the alluring man. Would one kiss derail his course? And could he stop at just one?
Hurts so good. Chemistry burns between them—hot, consuming, and impossible to ignore. And why should they? Kendall and Ridge are consenting adults who know the score. Being bad has never felt so good, but it’s a slippery slope to navigate. One misstep could have disastrous consequences for both men.
Bad at Love is a standalone novel within the Sinister in Savannah universe where both characters first appeared. It is not necessary to read that series first. Bad at Love is a romantic suspense that’s heavier on the romance than the suspense.
