 Do you have issues with trust? Relationships are all about trust. You have to trust them when they say they aren't married. You have to trust that they do like you in the black dress. You have to trust that they are not trying to take advantage of you. Trust is a key piece in Author Jennifer Raines' latest release MASQUERADE. The hero- Liam, struggles with trust. He's learned first hand that he can't believe others. He questions everything. It leads to some problems with his assistant, Kate, who is hiding a few secrets of her own. I really enjoyed the mishaps around the secrets. It's such a cute story of two people who have good reasons to question everything, even their own feelings. Now available in ebook and print, MASQUERADE kept me turning the pages, as well the secondary characters are the best! Don't Miss a Chance to Grab a Copy for Yourself!!

Kate and Liam’s lives collide when she’s hired as Liam’s research assistant. Liam’s boss laughs off the billboard. Having doubles is the perfect cover for confidential field work. A masquerade, a road trip, a steamy attraction, the sudden appearance of Liam’s old lover, and Ms. Sexy Romance’s unexpected arrival in the wrong place at the wrong time, and Liam and Kate discover the steps they took to protect their hearts might break them.

It’s going to get you into trouble.” Her sister’s laugh gurgled through the phone. “I met Liam Quinn.” Saying his name aloud brought her nemesis into clear focus. Anna released a long whistle. “What’s he look like?” Her question startled a laugh out of Kate. “You idiot!” “I’m serious. Every time I press Niall for info he just says, ‘he looks like me, dresses like something out of Suits and has a mind like a steel trap.’” “Close enough.” Kate welcomed the spurt of temper, recalling how he’d pushed her out of the room during this morning’s meeting. “A gaunter look. Shadows in his eyes.” “Give me more.” “I hate suits.” Kate crossed to check the door was shut. She wanted no witnesses to this conversation. “They all blend into one amorphous mass of arrogant know-it-alls.” “Pessimism and prejudice in the same breath. A suit’s a uniform in most offices.” Anna dated suits. “I bet he sleeps in a suit.” “Why, Maybelline, I’m surely fascinated where you met our hero.” Anna gave her best imitation of a Southern belle. “On the job. He works for Clelland and Associates.” “And your research for them is?” Anna’s innocent inquiry didn’t fool her. “Commercial in confidence,” she snapped, throwing a hand in the air while she began to pace. “And ongoing unless he puts the kibosh on it.” What had they talked about while she’d been out of the room? Not the billboard, but she’d bet her name had come up. The mood had been subtly different when she’d been invited back in. “The arrogant bastard locked me out of part of the meeting.” BUY LINKS: |
