A woman who knows that the only guy she ever loved
was a cheater and a slime-ball, but hates the idea of being the last one of her
friends to be single…
A man who spent years chasing the beauty queen and
always coming in second, takes a bet from his friends for a little action. Little does he know that when they up the
ante, they also get to pick the girl…
That’s when Miss
Pinkhaired Girl suddenly turns into Miss
Blue Eyes…
Flynn Davis had spent years waiting on Courtney to
give up the chase for the crown and settle down to married life and babies.
When they broke up, he thought maybe he’d missed his chance to have the family
he always wanted, regardless of how hard his friends, Drew and Allen, tried to
hook him up.
Chloe Howard had her heart broken at Moody’s Bar
when she discovered her boyfriend cheating on her. She left with tears, he left
with a beer in his face. Now, at 29, she’s convinced the only males that give
her any attention are her four-legged patients and they can’t talk back.
A bachelorette party brings her to Moody’s Bar once
again. A guys night out brings Flynn. Because of a bet, they’re matched up
whether they want to be or not, despite how hard they fight it. If only she
could remember what happened last night…

MY RATING~ 3.5/5
MY THOUGHTS~
I chose to read this book because I was provided with an ARC for review.
I would love to give this book a 4 Star rating, but I just can't. Consolation Prize was well written, grammar-wise, but it didn't seem like a full story. The story line seemed really rushed and the characters could have been a bit more developed. I think the author, Abbie St. Claire, could've used the time within all the gaps to let us get to know the characters better and give them more depth. I was left feeling like I missed something, ya know?
Overall, Consolation Prize was a good story and the author had the right idea with it. I just would rather have had it been "beefier".
I'm a
Texan through and through.
While
I've lived in various parts of the state, Houston is home now, but Dallas is my
favorite part of the state and Austin runs a close second. Let's hear it for
the HORNS!
The
hubs and I enjoy having friends over and our place is kind of a hangout...of
sorts. We cook and entertain together.
I want
my stories to excite the reader. I love it when readers reach out to me.
I have
several things planned for 2014. Up first will be my series of Hook-Ups with
Ace's Key, Booty Call and Consolation Prize.
I'm
launching a standalone novella series called The KISS ME SERIES. Each novella
will be sure to deliver snarky or wild and zainey or erotic twist to romance
and perhaps a combo of all of it. First up is KISS ME-MY ASS guaranteed to get
the temperature up, if you know what I mean. Releasing in August. It's going to
be a party!
Followed
by KISS ME-THERE and KISS ME-IN THE RAIN and KISS ME-FOREVER.
There
are over 20 books planned in this series, can be read in any order and all have
an HEA.
I am
also writing a story for a HOT SUMMER NIGHTS anthology releasing in August.
Stay
tuned, 2014 is going to be full of love in all the right places.
