Wilde) comes a sweet, sexy novel about breaking all the rules. In Seaside,

always well-behaved.
From The Book Junkie Reads . . . Welcoming
the Bad Boy (Hero’s Welcome, #3) . . .
I have come to love this series and
I look forward to each new release. Come to this small town America that have
an array of heroes that are welcomed in a different way for different
reasons. Welcoming the Bad Boy is a wonderful addition to the series. I got down to business on a Sunday afternoon (no pun intended). The read was light, fast, sweet, and hit the spot for the lazy day that I turned it into.
There are all kinds of myths that run rampid in today's society. The good girl is not always good. The bad boy is not always bad. Preacher's daughters are not always what the portray in front of their daddy's. Valerie and Griffin both had a little stereotyping going on in their heads when they met. But there was one thing for time that all must learn. Times gives you the opportunity to make a lasting impression that may be better than the first.
Val and Griffin had a summer that was to remember. They both learned more than the every would have. Puppies, children, friends, family, good girl, bad boy, and a small town makes for a delightful read when a different kinda pace has been ordered.

Blurb
As a
preacher’s daughter, Valerie Hunt only dates the very respectable, very boring
men who meet her father’s strict standards. In private, however, she leads a
double life as a romance writer of steamy stories about the least respectable
sorts of men. Valerie has always kept her hottest fantasies separate from her
real life, but when she nearly runs a hot-blooded biker off the road, the lines
begin to blur.
Even
though Valerie almost killed him, Griffin Black can’t be angry after he learns
the reason for her distracted driving: an unruly puppy belonging to her ailing
friend. As a member of the military police K-9 unit, Griffin insists on
training the dog himself. But he soon wonders how he’s ever going to stay
disciplined around the most alluring, down-to-earth, and totally unattainable
woman he’s ever met. Valerie is the ultimate good girl. And Griffin is going to
need all his old tricks to unleash her wild side.

She wrapped the dry
towel around her body and collected her clothes to go seek out Griffin’s dryer.
When she opened the bathroom door, he was standing in front of her. His eyes
traveled south. Really, a towel covered as much as any of her strapless
dresses. Strapless dresses involved hooks and zippers, though. All Griffin had
to do if he wanted to see her naked was pull the end of the towel tucked
beneath her arm.
She took a breath, really wanting him to pull.
What was the point of a summer fling if she couldn’t live out her wildest
fantasies? In fact, if she were writing one of her books right now, her heroine
would probably tire of waiting to see what the gorgeous bad boy was going to do
and drop the towel herself.
Val slowly lifted her
arm and dropped the towel to her feet. No going back now, which was completely
fine with her.
“What are you doing?”
Griffin asked. There was a deep edge to his voice.
“Drying off.” Her heart
thudded inside her chest. Her hands were shaking. This wasn’t like her. She
didn’t seduce men. She should pick her towel up off the floor right now and
pretend like that was an accident.
Instead, she stood
frozen.
Griffin reached for
her in the dark hallway, tracing a finger from her neck down to her breast.
Then he anchored a
hand on her waist and pulled her toward him, kissing her again, harder this
time. Deeper. A little gasp caught in her throat as his other hand reached
between her legs and started to caress her, finding a rhythm that had her
clutching his still wet body to keep from falling on the ground.
She reached for the
hem of his shirt and started to lift his wet clothes off him. Unbuttoning his
jeans, she pressed them down, working until he was as naked as she was.
“Are you sure this is
what you want? We’re breaking all the rules in those romance novels you like to
read,” he said, his voice gravelly.
She swallowed,
burning for him. Needing to feel his hands on her. His mouth. His tongue. “I
want this. I want you.”
A small smile lifted
his mouth. He took her hand and started leading her down the hallway, passing
Trooper as they went.
“Sorry, buddy. You
have to stay behind,” Griffin called, pulling her into his bedroom and shutting
the door. “If it starts to thunder we’ll have to stop,” he said between kisses.
“A woman should never
come between a man and his dog,” Val agreed.
“You
know me so well.” He kissed her again and then he pulled her toward his bed.
