Instead of trying to find your perfect match in a dating app, we bring you the “Author-Reader Match" where we introduce you to authors you may fall in love with. It's our great pleasure to present Lauren Accardo!
Writes:
Steamy contemporary romance; small towns with cute bookstores, coffee shops, and the scent of pine wafting through every square inch.
About:
Oh hi! Nice to meet you! My name is Lauren Accardo, and I live for an unforgettable HEA. Love stories are my jam. If the book has a broody but smoking hot main character, a strong, take-no-bull second main character, and some type of across-the-room-eye-contact-that-leads-to-touching, I either read it or wrote it. Outside of swoony romance, my interests include baked goods of any variety, karaoke, vacations to Italy, dogs, the Adirondack mountains, and making my 5-month-old baby laugh.
What I’m looking for in my ideal reader match:
- Can inhale a book in just one sitting
- Roots for a snarky female lead
- Has a soft spot for adorable but occasionally clueless men
- Enjoys excessive descriptions of food and usually reads with a snack in hand
- Loves a good love story
What to expect if we're compatible:
- Chemistry on chemistry on chemistry
- Lots of characters trying to talk themselves out of all that undeniable chemistry
- Plenty of banter, most likely in the form of flirting
- Leading men wearing plaid, henleys, or some combination of the two
- Every story ending with a satisfying happily ever after
- Scenes to make you blush
- And (hopefully!) stories, settings, and characters you think back on and want to revisit for years to come
Forever Adirondacks #3
Playing house in the mountains was supposed to be temporary, but a woman would have to be made of stone to resist the most eligible bachelor in Pine Ridge and all his small-town charm.…
Denny Torres needs a break. After a series of embarrassments on and off the field, the Adirondacks provide the perfect hideout for his new, quiet, post-football life. The fresh mountain air is a welcome balm for his soul, but what’s even more soothing? The sexy, sweet touch of fellow Pine Ridge newcomer Bethany Jones. If only she planned to stay....
Bee does not have time for a hunky former athlete—no matter how good he looks shirtless. Her artistic ambitions are in ruins, her brother is a disaster, and while Pine Ridge has its charms, the small town is nothing more than a pit stop on her way to getting back on track. Bee’s just going to ignore the fact that when Denny offers her the chance to channel her creative energy into redesigning his house, she finds herself building the home—and the life—of her dreams.
With their time together coming to an end, Denny will have to move quickly to prove he can be the man Bee needs. Who better than a defensive back to knock down those walls?
