Standalone Series




{EXCERPT}

“I stopped by your work today.”

“I saw you.” She smiles at someone passing by us.

I stop. “You saw me?”

“Yes.” She nods, and dauntless eyes slither my way.

“And you didn’t think to say anything?”

“Why would I?”

“I was there looking for you.”

“I didn’t know that.” She pauses to touch the arm of a men’s outdated bomber jacket. “For all I knew, you could’ve been there to see a lawyer or something.”

“I wasn’t. I was there for you, and ya know what I found out?” I pause, but she’s busy studying the damn coat. “You don’t even work there.”

“That is correct.” She releases the sleeve and starts to walk again.

“But I dropped you off there, and you said⸺” We stop in front of a door.

“I didn’t know you.” Her eyes rake down me like they had when I dropped her off the other day at the Caulfield building as if she were taking me in so she could snack on me later. “Did you really think I was going to tell you where I worked?”

“You came to my house. You came in and used my bathroom.” I clear the crack of surprise from my voice. “If you were worried that I was a freak or something, you probably shouldn’t have done that.”

“Or maybe …” She walks into the room with me following. “You shouldn’t have shown me where you live.” She slowly closes the door and turns to face me. “Maybe I’m the crazy one?” Taking one small step toward me, she smirks. “Did you ever think of that?”

Inspecting her nearly see-through, loose, cream-colored blouse, light gray tight slacks, and high heels, I walk toward her, my fingertips itching to be aroused by her touch too. I stop in front of her, and as not to act on my desire to discover her texture, my fingers curl into my palms as my eyes lock with hers. “Are you?”

“Crazy?” She shrugs with a grin. “Maybe a little.”

Then Kelsey Draper walks in. Stunning. Vibrant. And far too fragile for a project like this. Wyatt should know—after all, he remembers only too well why their relationship ended all those years ago.

Determined to break free from her good girl persona, Kelsey wants spice. Adventure. And she’s certain that Wyatt is just the man to help.

But when Wyatt agrees to give her the job only if he has complete control—on camera and in his bed—Kelsey can’t help but wonder if she’s in too deep. Because how can a good girl like her ever be enough for a man like Wyatt?

🔖 BLOG TOUR 🔖 Some Like it Plaid by Angela Quarles {REVIEW}




Some Like it Plaid by Angela Quarles

Release Date: November 18th 2019 by Entangled: Amara
Pages: 280
Genres: Romance, Contemporary, Time Travel 

When Ashley Miller sees a Craigslist ad for an all-expense paid vacation to Scotland with a handsome Highland “escort”, she’s all over it. Worn out from working two jobs to pay off the debts her scam artist ex-husband left her with, she just needs a friggin’ break already. Rolling, misty mountains of the Scottish Highlands, here she comes!

But one minute she’s sipping a latte and the next she’s zapped to the 2nd century and promptly informed she’s managed to wed her handsome Highlander without even an “I do.” Oh, hell no.

After a devastating tragedy, Connall’s tribe is left with few marriageable women. When his Druid priest suggests a place filled with bonnie lasses, he of course agrees to go fetch one for himself. But nothing prepared Connall for his sassy new wife, nor his tribe for a woman determined to see equal rights for all women.

Now the men are threatening revolt if he can’t rein his young wife in, but it might be too late. The women are demanding the men get “woke”—which of course makes no sense because they already woke that morn—and give women “the vote,” whatever the bloody hell that is. Despite all that, Connall can’t stop wanting to convince his wife to get naked, and he’s starting to wonder if he’s been bewitched.

Only the more he gets to know her, the more he starts to think she’s just what they needed. If only he survives her next demand...



My Review:

From the cover to the intriguing synopsis, Some Like it Plaid had me hooked from the very beginning and it didn’t disappoint at all. It’s my first time reading anything from Angela Quarles and it won’t be the last. She manages to transport the reader to a whole new time and it worked.

In the story we get to meet Ashley Miller, she has recently divorced and has struggled ever since to pay the debt that her ex-husband left her with. Her life has become chaotic and she doesn’t know what to do as she struggles to pay all that money. But that soon changes the minute she sees a Craigslist ad for an all-expense paid trip to Scotland in exchange for doing house work. Ashley quickly jumps at the change of getting out of her stressful life in San Francisco for the beautiful land of Scotland. It’s especially hard to say no to the mystery guy interviewing her for the job. They click right away and the way he expresses himself intrigues her. With that said, she sets off to Scotland, only to find herself back in time to 156 AD. She wanted a new start and she is about to get one full of potential dangers and one incredible romance that will have her questioning going back home.

After a tragedy struck his tribe, Connall as the chief’s oldest son, he is given the task of finding a wife in order to help grow the tribe. With very few marriageable women left in his tribe, his druid priest suggests for him to travel in time. With no idea where he is heading, Connell accepts and he is quickly transported to modern day San Francisco. He is amazed at how people live in the 21st century and is quickly told that in order to find what he is looking for is to post an ad on Craigslist and that’s exactly what he does. But it’s when he conducting interviews that he sets his eyes on Ashley and everything changes after that. He can see that she is outspoken and smart. This attracts him to her that most and thinks of it as an asset for the tribe. Little did he know that his future outspoken wife would end up changing his tribe forever.

I very much enjoyed reading this book! It was engaging and funny. The characters compliment each other very well and they are truly meant for one another. Connall is the overprotective alpha male that will do anything to protect Ashley yet she finds it a little hard to understand his ways when it comes to her and the tribe. His sole purpose is to get a wife and she is perfect for the job. On the other hand, Ashley wants to get away from her old life and will do anything in order to start a new life. As the characters struggle to navigate their new life together, there are things that they need to work on if they want a future. As I mentioned at the beginning, Angela Quarles did a great job describing the setting and the overall story. The ending will have you swooning for the characters and I would highly recommend checking it out. I cannot wait to read more from the author in the future. :)

**I voluntarily read an early copy of this title in exchange for an honest review**
