THE CARE AND FEEDING OF AN ALPHA MALE
Jessica Clare

Romance Contemporary

Beth Ann Williamson has held on for too long. She is now letting go -- of her cheating husband and of her meddling family -- to find her own happiness. As the owner of a salon in the small town of Bluebonnet, Texas, Beth Ann is slowly becoming her own person. However, that doesn't stop her family and her ex-husband from trying to control her life. When Lucy, Beth Ann's teenage sister seeks adventure at this absurd and outrageous outdoor event, Beth Ann is called in to retrieve her. There she encounters Mother Nature's wrath and a delicious hero and die-hard survivalist in Colt Waggoner.

Colt cannot deny his attraction to Beth Ann even though she is prickly to him. But soon Colt discovers that beneath that tough exterior lies a heart of gold. As he helps Beth Ann through the rough night outdoors, he also assists her in checking off items off her things-I-have-never-done list -- including a one-night stand. No matter how hard they try, neither can shake this newly discovered passion they have for one another. But will their passion be enough to withstand their family and friends?

THE CARE AND FEEDING OF AN ALPHA MALE is a deliciously hot read! Clare knows just how to build up the sexual tension and just when it hits its fevering point, she sets the pages blazing! The unique blend of sweet small-town romance and scorching hot sex scenes will have readers swarming to get their hands on this book.

With lots of drama, a touch of charm and plenty of hotter- than-hell sex, Jessica Clare has created a book that I could not put down. She is an author that readers need to keep an eye on.

SUMMARY

Beth Ann needed a hero… Beth Ann Williamson has finally had it with her on-and-off fiancΓ© of nine years. The problem? No one in town seems to believe her when she says it’s really over. Now Beth Ann is determined to show the small town of Bluebonnet, Texas, that she can take care of herself. That means opening her own salon and not taking the help that her ex-fiancΓ© seems determined to offer. Of course, even the best laid plans go awry when she’s stranded in the woods in the middle of a downpour. Some independent woman she is. She can’t even find her way out of the woods without the help of a handsome, but scowling, Marine. She got more than she bargained for… A die-hard survivalist, Colt Waggoner’s none too pleased when he’s sent to find the town’s pampered princess. He’s even more annoyed when Beth Ann isn’t grateful for the rescue. Fine, then. He’ll just have to teach the sexy blonde a lessonβ€”a weekend of roughing it out in the wild. Just the two of them, alone, in muddy, wet clothing that needs to come off… But Beth Ann isn’t the spoiled princess he thought. And when she propositions him for a one night stand, he knows he should turn it down. Because this alpha male might need more than just one night in her bed to satisfy him…
