 Maybe you are a workaholic like me. I spend over eight hours on my computer doing various things for my job and still when I have a free moment, I'm checking my phone trying to keep up with any new emails. A classic workaholic. I take my work with me on vacation. Author Mindy McKinley could have used me as a template for her heroine in her latest book, SHELTER ME, now up for preorder. Jenna is a hard worker who wants to make sure she is doing her best....at her job and with her school. She doesn't want to be derailed by anyone or anything. Then along comes a fun-loving photographer.... let's just say it's a recipe for romance and disaster. Blurb: Photographing pets may be the way into her heart….but this veterinarian-in-training is determined not to let a man derail her life. Studying to be a veterinarian, vet tech Jenna Howard has little time for anything other than school and her work at Chicago Pet Rescue shelter. With no support to fall back on and a mother who is determined to pull her down, Jenna can’t afford to step out of line. Even a night of promised adventure from the hottest bachelor in town isn’t enough to pull her out of her routine. Newly famous photographer Luke Baxter finds himself enjoying his role as the most eligible bachelor in Chicago. But when he wanders into Chicago Pet Rescue to shoot a fund-raising calendar, and meets the adorably feisty Jenna Howard, everything changes. He’s gotten so used to ‘yes’ that Jenna’s ‘no’ takes him by surprise. Suddenly she’s all he can think about. She’s gorgeous, smart, impossibly difficult to read, and he’ll do almost anything—even adopt a puppy—to make her realize that taking a chance on him doesn’t have to mean giving up on her dreams. Can he convince her that life isn’t worth living without a little fun? Releases on May 4 |
