The Book Junkie Reads . . . Run to You (Risking It All, #1) . . .
Run to you would most certainly be my sentiments when I have a nest full of yellow jackets chasing me. I will most certainly run to safety or cover which ever comes first. Just running in your direction was not suppose to lead to chemistry lessons. But trouble will be sure to follow in the wakes of this explosive encounter.
Gabby needs to get away from it all. So of course go to a small town where everyone knows everyone and you have very little chance of getting away from the one crashing encounter you made since you arrived in town. In comes the tall, hot glass of TROUBLE, Ethan. There are some things that have Gabby and Ethan back in each other company. A trouble past for each leads to traveling the smoother road. With family, friends, and just the small town atmosphere surrounding them, they seem to be in each other company more often then not. The relationship grows out of more necessity than deep feeling or so they thought.
The past has a way of finding you when you don't want it. In walks Gabby's past and all that she left behind. But of course this is a sweet, country romance that has to have a little spice and kick to get it all off track. There are a few laughs along the way and a few energizing encounters. Welcome to Haven, NC.

Moments
after meeting the most gorgeous guy ever, Gabby Winters promptly gets stung by
a zillion yellow jackets and falls-not gracefully-into a stream. Yup, Ethan
Hunter is trouble with a capital "hot," and Gabby definitely needs to
keep her distance. Except in the small town of Haven, there's nowhere to hide
from Ethan's sexy, infectious grin . . . and all the residents are conspiring
against her.
At the
center of the town's matchmaking is Ethan's grandmother, who's convinced their
relationship is a done deal. Rather than break her heart, Gabby and Ethan find
themselves cornered into pretending to be falling in love. The problem: there's
serious sizzling attraction between them. And if this charade continues, they
won't fool just the entire town - they might fool themselves too . . .
If
that’s hard to format with the italics for the text messages, here’s a second
option:
“I’m
glad you brought me out here.” Gabby stepped over a tree root, lifting her
skirt with her free hand so that she didn’t trip.
Ethan
squeezed her left hand. “Me, too. The rock face is right up this way.”
They
came around a corner and the path opened up to a big rock looming at least
thirty feet into the air. There were some creases and cracks in it, but how
anyone could scale it with only their bare hands—or why they would want to—was
completely beyond her. “You can seriously climb that?”
“I can
climb it. Ryan can kick its ass, though.”
“Okay
then. Show me.”
With a
cocky grin, he reached up and hooked his hand into a crack in the rock. He
pulled himself up, his biceps flexing most impressively as he climbed. Holy
shit, that was sexy. Soon she was left with nothing but a view of his very fine
ass. And by the time he’d reached the top, she was so turned on, she could
hardly stand it.
“So?”
he called from the top. “You going to join me or what?”
“Not a
chance. But I will enjoy watching you climb back down.”
“Gotta
give the lady what she wants.” His fine ass reappeared over the edge as he
started back down. He took his time on the descent, and if she wasn’t mistaken,
he might have reached for a few hand and footholds that made him flex his
muscles a little more than was strictly necessary.
“You’re
a show-off,” she said when his feet were back on solid ground.
He was
a bit out of breath, his bronzed skin glistening with sweat, trademark smile
still in place. “No clue what you’re talking about.”
“No?
You really needed to reach all the way to that notch?” She gestured above them.
“Instead of the one closer to your shoulder that maybe wouldn’t have shown off
your lovely biceps quite as well?”
He
flexed for her. “What, these old things? And for the record, I totally needed
the leverage.”
“Mm-hmm.”
For some reason, she put her hand on his biceps, and oh crap, that was a mistake. His skin was hot beneath her fingers,
and his blue eyes blazed into hers.
“Killing
me, Gabby,” he murmured. “Killing me.”
His
words sent a bolt of red-hot desire right through her, and she must have made a
sound because Ethan sucked in a breath, his gaze locked on her lips. His hands
settled on her hips, burning into her skin through the thin fabric of her
skirt.
