Excerpt:
When we got back to Tiffany’s, he walked me to
the door. He cupped my face in his hand and leaned in inching his lips closer
to mine. I’d never wanted anything so bad. He was so close I could smell the
mint of his breath and feel the heat on my face, when he moved away from my
face and hovered over my ear instead. Geez! What was he doing? Just
kiss me already. He brushed my hair behind my ear and whispered, “I’m
sorry. I forgot you asked me to wait until the fifth date.”
He became more vertical and dropped his hands
around my waist pulling me to him. Locked in his arms, I felt so safe. “Forget
I asked you to wait.” I did.
“No ma’am. I have to think you asked me that for
a reason, and my girl needs to know I respect her.”
“Fine. But last night was a date… Did you say
I’m your girl?”
“Do you want to be?”
Review:
The Fate of A Marlowe Girl
Although Tiffany Marlowe would love to be anywhere else but the bachelorette party she is throwing for her sister, she tries to be the dutiful maid of honor despite her feelings for the whole wedding. Tiffany escapes her room when it gets crashed by the drunken girls with them. Finding herself in a bar, looking uncomfortable she peeks the interest of Luke a local who becomes a much needed ally when her party is evicted from the hotel.
This is a short story, I liked Tiffany a lot. I wish it had been a lot longer as it seemed there was a complex dynamic about the Marlowe family that had not time to develop. Luke is pure gentleman, he could have walked off and left Tiffany to deal with all the drama but he stood by her side throughout. Perfect setting for a romantic read.
The Other Marlowe Girl
Kammy Marlowe has made her fair share of mistakes, particularly her ex-husband who has a drug dealer coming after her for the money. Kammy finds an unlikely ally in Enrique who knows all about her rocky past. Kammy is trying to dig herself out of a hole and having lost the trust of the people she loves most, she realizes she needs to make some changes and hopefully Enrique will be by her side.
Another quick read, but a thrilling story to the very end. I liked that Kammy was not perfect. You meet her in Fate of a Marlowe Girl and I can honestly say I did not care for her, but when you begin to read this story from her point of view you get to see a whole different side to her. Another enjoyable read from Beth Fred.

Meet Beth Fred! That’s me! I’m a full time ELF keeper and part time writer/blogger/writing instructor. I’m represented by Kathleen Rushall of Marsal Lyons Literary Agency. I like my tea hot, my romance sweet, and my guys chivalrous. Real men hold open doors, refer to you as ma’am, make promises they keep, and aren’t afraid to profess their undying love. It’s not breakfast if there aren’t carbs(at least, not in the South). Fajitas, carnitas, and churros are just few of my favorite things. Bet you can’t guess where I’m from

Thanks so much for having me today! I’m so glad
you’re letting me talk about food. I love food as much as I love books. I’m a
Southern girl currently trapped in the tundra, so comfort food is among my
favorite things. And currently, I have zero access. However, I am from Texas,
so some of my comfort foods might not make the list other places.
10. Fried chicken. Real Southern fried chicken. Not
fake fried chicken.
09. Fried okra & fried squash—In fact, anything
breaded and fried. It might not be good for you, but it tastes good going down.
08. mashed potatoes & gravy
07. biscuits & gravy. Yeah, yeah, gravy is
another love. I don’t eat it much though. One because I’m in the tundra now,
and I don’t find decent gravy here, and two because it’s so bad for you.
06. Smoked brisket with spicy bar-b-q sauce on the
side. Texas bar-b-q sauce, I don’t like that sweet stuff.
05. Tacos—(real tacos (they have to have cilantro)
probably even more if Tiffany makes them).
04. Steak—But it’s not the same outside of Texas.
03. Pie!!
02. French toast
01. Mexican food beyond tacos—fajitas, burritos, you
name it, I miss it!
