Two years ago, Callie Daniels opened her bakery in Preston, Missouri. A
college friend brought her to this small midwest town, and she just loves it.
Recently, Callie took the
job of the Pantheretts dance coach at Preston High. She
brings a lot of dance and pageant experience to the team.
Callie is somewhat manipulated by the school principal to
participate in a community fundraiser where a celebrity
dance-off is the main attraction of the event. She's been
asked to teach the school's football coach to dance and be
his partner. Callie can only imagine having to deal with a graying, fifties-
something, overweight man.
What a surprise to find that former NFL player Bennett
Clark is young, with an extremely beautiful athletic body.
He's easy on the eyes too. But Bennett is very opposed
to participating in this event and minces no words telling
Callie. She is ok with it though and walks away
with some relief that she doesn't have to add "one more
thing" to her plate. But when some fringe benefits are
attached to an award that Bennett is up for, he changes his
mind and comes crawling back to her, very apologetic.
Callie accepts his apology, but explicitly lays down her
rules for him, something Bennett is not used to. What
follows proves way more of a challenge than either of them
bargained for.
Bennett and Callie are both strong-willed characters,
and the flirty banter of their dialog is cute and
extremely humorous. WIN ME OVER is a fun, romantic read
that explores our motivation for doing the things that we
do, whether in our professional lives or our personal
lives. Nicole Michaels surrounds Bennett and Callie with a
variety of great supporting characters who add a lot of
spice to the flavor of the story. The storyline takes
several unexpected turns along the way to a great ending.
This is the second book in Ms. Michaels' Hearts and Crafts
series, but WIN ME OVER stands alone as a great small-town,
feel-good romantic read.
Callie Daniels is a singular
sensation. She owns and operates her own bakery, contributes
to a popular lifestyle blog, and is the dance team coach at
a local high school. She lives by her own design and
desires. She's happy-and busy! Callie has too much to do to
make dating a priority. Mr. Right will have to fit into her
life when the time is right. . .
LOVE LIKE YOU'VE NEVER FELT IT BEFORE
Football coach Bennett Clark always plays by the rules. He
knows that his new colleague Callie is off limits but she's
so beautiful-and irritating!-that Clark can't get her off
his mind. She wants him to participate in a charity dance
contest, and won't take no for an answer. Soon, what begins
as a festive athletic endeavor turns into a heated
flirtation on and off the dance floor. Could it be that the
free-spirited Callie has finally found a way to melt Clark's
tough-as-Teflon heart?
