 I have dreamed of coming face to face with the other woman who had been with my husband. I wanted to pour a drink over her head or even punch her in the face, but I probably wouldn't have had the courage. I'm not that brave. One of the things I love about Penelope Hart's latest release is how cathartic it is! This is a romance that shows you that you don't have to put up with anything and gives you optimism for your own happy ever after. I loved how Polly was able to see the truth and realize that she was worth more... even better... she was able to get everything she wants. Isn't that one of the reasons we love romance?? It gives us the ability to do things we'd never do. POLLY WANTS A LOVER is a romance book about a woman who could be any one of us. She'd been blind too long to the truth and now sees that she shouldn't have given up the things she wanted for her husband. The feisty Polly is just who I want to be-- a stand up woman, not afraid of getting what she wants. POLLY WANTS A LOVER is a wonderfully exciting read that will have you cheering aloud! Now available in ebook, don't miss your new favorite book! Blurb Polly wants a lover to outmatch her cheating husband and heal her broken heart. From childhood, Polly Sullivan was obsessed with one thing—becoming a professional dancer, right up until the day Christian Caldwell strode into her life. A sexual magnet and force of nature, he seduced her with his irresistible lovemaking, taking over her life and undermining her ambition, until he alone was her sole obsession. Six years later, and now Christian’s wife, Polly’s career and confidence are in tatters. As she tails her husband’s latest mistress through a parking lot, fate puts her on a collision course with love when she runs her Subaru into a pick-up truck. Its owner, Marcus Bell, is heir to the legendary Turner-Bell horse farm, although he is currently estranged from his family and slumming as the manager of a dive bar. As she discovers just how many affairs lie in her cheating husband’s past, a shaken Polly longs to recover her confidence and the career she abandoned to become Christian’s wife. She yearns to rekindle passion with a man she can trust. But as her lithe dancer’s body cries out for Marcus Bell’s touch, her injured heart screams no. Is Marcus the devoted lover she craves, or is Polly dancing from one heartbreak to another? POLLY WANTS A LOVER is a wonderful romp through one woman’s awakening. Author Penelope Holt tells it like it is, as Polly sets out to find herself after marriage makes her small. This story is a great read for fans of Catherine Bybee’s “When it Falls Apart” or Kerry Fisher’s “The Woman I Was Before”. EXCERPT: Polly took a few leisurely sips of her red wine. In no rush to engage her husband’s mistress, she waited instead for curiosity to get the better of the woman. Chrissy shifted on the bar stool, occasionally looking at Polly’s wedding rings before she finally spoke. “I haven’t seen you in here before. How do you know Marcus?” “Oh, my car hit his in the parking lot, and he’s been helping me schedule the repairs.” “Bummer.” Her curiosity satisfied, Chrissy turned away again. “My husband likes everything to be perfect,” Polly said nonchalantly. “The busted fender is driving him crazy.” “Then why doesn’t he take care of it?” Chrissy said emphatically, tossing her head in a gesture of girl power and solidarity. Polly was unhurried when she replied. “Believe me, he would take care of it, but he’s out of town for four days on a tour of his agency’s Midwest clients.” She knew she’d said just enough to set Chrissy Reynold’s mind racing, and sure enough, the blonde immediately drained her glass, stood up, and retrieved her Chanel bag from the hook under the bar where she’d hung it. “Aw, don’t go,” Polly said with a smile. “I thought we could swap stories about having sex with Chris in public bathrooms.” Chrissy Reynolds worked in pharmaceutical sales, and was one of her company’s top performers. She took regular courses on how to be a killer in business and life. How to believe in herself, never take no for an answer, and ABC—Always Be Closing. Her mornings began with the daily affirmations she recited to reassure herself that she was on top, that no deal was too big, no goal too daring, no competition too steep, and no situation too thorny that she couldn’t solve it. One of Chrissy Reynolds’ favorite affirmations was “never let them see you sweat.” With this in mind, she now looked Christian Caldwell’s wife in her undeniably lovely, green eyes. Of course, she was aware Chris had a wife, but she had zero interest in knowing anything about her. Why should she? Chris was handsome and a fun way to spend time when she wasn’t off closing lucrative deals. Sex with him was off-the-charts great, including in restrooms, where the thrill quotient was high, but the comfort level was low. Truth be told, though, Chrissy was tiring of Christian. BUY LINKS: |
