About
the Book
There’s
a crush, and then there are the type of feelings that Croft Cruisie evokes from
a person.
He’s
everything that any straight woman would want: tall, handsome, charismatic,
muscular, and sweet.
At
least, Carmichael thought he was sweet, until he brings another woman to the
gym she owns with her brother, on the night that’s to be their first date, and
lets her know in a quick and painful, non-verbal way that her feelings are not
reciprocated.
Fast
forward six months, and she’s still trying to move on from the rejection.
It
doesn’t help that the jerk moves in next door to her, and that she has to see
him workout shirtless every single day.
How
can a woman get over a silly crush when that silly crush won’t so much as give
her room to breathe?
***
Croft
doesn’t know what happened.
One
day he was supposed to go on a date with the girl that wouldn’t leave his
thoughts for even a second, and the next she’s avoiding him like the plague.
No
matter how hard he tries—and admittedly, it isn’t all that hard due to the
biggest case of his career taking over his life—he can’t get her to tell him
what he did wrong. She refuses to give him a second chance.
At
least, not until he’s nearly killed in front of the courthouse, that is.
The
moment he sees his chance, he pounces. Or, more literally, he limps.
But
the limping is what draws Carmichael in. The Southern charm that was instilled
in him since birth will be what gets her to stay.
That’s
his plan, anyway.
Funny
thing about plans… they never seem to work out how you expect them to.

I really enjoyed reading this new take LLV has taken with incorporating CrossFit into this book.
The heroine, Carmichael, owns a CrossFit gym with her brother and helps runs training sessions. She has had a long time crush on Croft Cruisie who is also one of her brothers closest friends.
When Carmichael’s house is broken into one night, she immediately calls her brother who calls her next door neighbour, Croft. Croft’s instinctive protective nature comes out and refuses to let anyone but himself look after and protect Carmichael.
Carmichael is a take no prisoners woman who owns who she is. She loves working out and has the muscles to prove it. She also knows how to look after herself and doesn’t take it easy on Croft once he starts playing protector.
I loved the dynamic between the two main characters and also all the secondary characters. As always, the character development is amazing throughout this book.
I can’t wait to read LLV’s new series which incorporates CrossFit into her novels even more.
I highly recommend this book and this awesome series.
Croft and Carmichael have been friends for a long time and now after a few misunderstandings and a bit of danger thrown in, it is their chance to see if they have something between them that could be so much more than just friendship.
THE SOUTHERN GENTLEMAN SERIES
HISSY
FIT: The Southern Gentleman Series, Book 1
He
is the one that never looks her way.
He
is handsome and strong.
He
is rough around the edges and mean.
He
is everything she’s ever wanted.
He
doesn’t even know she exists.
Her
life is a joke.
***
She
doesn’t step on cracks in the sidewalk.
She
laughs at inappropriate times.
She
talks when she shouldn’t.
She
is clumsy and trips on air.
She
is finally on his radar.
God
help her now.

LORD
HAVE MERCY: The Southern Gentleman Series, Book 2
Poor
judgment: knowing better yet doing it anyway.
Flint
Stone is a professional in every way.
He’s
a police officer with the K-9 unit and works at Gun Barrel High as the school
resource officer. In his spare time, he’s working his heart out to create a
successful gym from the ground up.
He’s
loved by every single person he ever encounters—student, faculty, and
employees—Everyone but Camryn Elvis Presley.
The
only thing they have in common is their mothers’ poor excuses for names.
Period.
The end.
So
why is it every time she crosses his path that he has the urge to mess up her
perfectly curled hair? Or unbutton a few of her prim and proper buttons?
He
knows he should stay away, yet like the high schoolers he’s around every day,
he has no choice but to react first and think about the consequences later.
Side
note—bad decisions are made, leading to lapses in judgment that threaten both
of their jobs. Yet when the time comes, neither one can seem to find the
wherewithal to care. Why? Because being bad feels so good.
