A divorced man vacationing in Hawaii, during the off season, thinks he's losing his mind - all the women he meets seem like witches. He doesn't realize a conference of body-mind-spirit aficionado, witches, Wiccans, mediums, spiritualist and other Magic Thinkers, meet on the Big Island of Hawaii. A couple of chance encounters with one convinces both "it was meant to be" and so he joins two beautiful young nudists on a whirlwind tour of the Big Island's charms, and learns some frightening aspects of Godless Goddesses. "Women who read romances feel worthless. Sluts watch porn and feel perfect. The bigger a man's ego, the smaller his you-know-what. Men with tiny thingees overcompensate. They become muscle builders, or drive sports cars, and indulge in risky behavior. Women see that, they nod and lower the head, raise the eyebrows, roll the eyes, and say, "I knew it, no ding-a-ling." All the two-ton, gonad-dangling ball-and-socket hitched pickups in the world can't make up for a limp spaghetti or a puckered raisin. God made a mistake; Adam's rib wasn't a boner, it was a womb. God gave man a penis and a brain, and enough blood for one. Men get excited, the blood runs south, the tongue comes out, and a doglike brain takes over. That's why a man will stick his nose where it doesn't belong, and try to bury his bone by humping your leg while dancing. Men will do anything if they think it's foreplay. My last ex-boyfriend whined "I feel insecure. I can't stop thinking that you don't need me." He came the closest to being right. I appreciate a man who tells me what he wants or needs from me, so I can tell him to learn to get along without it. If you want to give me advice, ask, and I will tell you what to say. If a man can afford me, I might tolerate him. If you love me, I will take advantage of you. If you hurt me, I will destroy you. I think, therefore I am single. I don't want to be divorced. I want to be a widow." Sincerely, Your Next Girlfriend
The wrong brother… Ireland needs a fresh start, and her cousin convinces her to take a chance on a charismatic bad-boy with a wicked boat and a killer body. But when Ireland shows up for the popular Lake Tahoe booze cruise he runs, she finds his handsome older brother at the helm instead. Bran likes things structured and predictable. Especially after the mistakes he made ten years ago. But his father’s recent passing threw his calm life into chaos, and now Bran is in charge of the family’s five-star restaurants. He’s been grasping to get things back to status-quo ever since. He has no idea how much more complicated life will get. Flame-haired Ireland is exactly the type of beautiful woman Bran has programed himself to avoid. But when she falls into his lap on a booze cruise his brother asked him to cover, the boat isn’t the only thing tossed by the water. Bran’s heart goes overboard as well. Headstrong Ireland is nothing Bran wants, and everything he needs. "Wonderful characters and beautiful family." ~ Julia, Reviewer EXCERPT Bran stretched his neck and let out a sigh. “I’m sorry… About the boat incident.” “You mean the kiss?” “I meant the hands. The kiss had been coming.” The corner of his mouth quirked. “I liked the hands,” she said, her blood boiling with annoyance. “It was the words out of your mouth I could have done without.” Bran’s eyes darkened. “Good to know. Next time, less talking and more touching.” Ireland’s jaw dropped.“Who says there will be a next time?” “You didn’t say there wouldn’t.” Keywords: wrong brother, opposites attract, mistaken identity, Cade Brothers, Cade, Tempting Levi, Daring Wes, contemporary romance, romantic comedy, rom-com, humorous, beaches, billionaire, wealthy, alpha hero, alpha male, Lake Tahoe, never date series, steamy romance, forbidden romance, family drama, nerd heroine, romcom, rom com, rom-com book, romcom book
