Book Excerpt
“What’s a girl like you doing at a bar like this?” he asked.
Her voice was a purr, like a cat well satisfied with its stolen pitcher of cream. “I’m looking for someone special.”
Hoping that she meant him he asked, “Did you find him yet?”
“Maybe.” The glint in her eye told him he was definitely in the running. However, I’m not looking to hook up with just any old cowboy. He must be able to go the full eight seconds and come back for more.” She eyed him from head to toe. “Think you can handle that?”
Oh, I can most definitely handle you sweetheart.
Not wanting to seem too eager he replied, “I’m not sure but I’m willing to try.”
“Do or do not. There is no try.” He struggled not to let his grin escape. The fact that she was trying to seduce him made his dick twitch.
“Let’s just say I’m looking to burn off some pent up frustration. A little excess energy. And I’ve got plenty to burn.”
The way she shivered at his words, he knew he almost had her. He winked as she licked her crimson lips and blew out a small breath. Damn what this woman is doing to him.
He pushed her knees apart with his left leg and was rewarded with the amazing scent of her arousal. The knowledge she was wet for him had him close to going off in his jeans.
Houston, we have lift-off!
“Why don’t you have a seat cowboy and we’ll talk about it.”
She gasped when he shocked her with a brush of his lips against hers; fighting with everything he had not to deepen the kiss.
Patience, patience.
He would play her game for the moment but sooner or later, she would be his. Tied up and begging for more.
He asked her, “Now about that eight second ride?”

This is Harlie: In all seriousness, I wrote this book for my cousin and her husband. He really is an Ag Teacher and they are high school sweethearts. They married two months after graduation and are still going strong after 34 years, 2 boys and 2 grandchildren. She is the big sister that I never had growing up and one of my favorite people in the world. Now my other cousins want books written about them. LOL!
Couple, I can't thank you enough for stopping by.

Toot's Review
Wow, ok, so didn't see that coming, LOL!
The Couple is a very quick short story about two people whom meet at a bar. There's instant attraction on both ends, a bit of flirting and then off to bed for a one night stand. All very typical but what's not typical is the last paragraph of the story and nope, I'm not giving it away but like I said, totally didn't see that one coming. This is one of those stories that would be ok if left on its own but like any great story, the ending clinches it.
So what the heck do you mean Toot? Well, like any great lover of romance, I read it like it's going out of style and as I was reading this story for the review, things seemed to be very typical of a boy meets girl, boy takes girl home, wham bam thank you ma'am but looking back now, I realize there were hints along the way that things were not as they seemed but again, I'm not saying more but I will say this, it takes a lot to surprise me when it comes to steamy, smexiness and this one sure did.
The story is listed as 20 pages but I think it's even shorter than that. I counted 9 pages of actual story. Anywho, it's quick, steamy and gave me a good laugh at the end. Would be a fabulous read while waiting for the doctor, dentist, kids or for meetings to get started.
Enjoy!
Author Info
A certifiable sports nut, she craves college football (OU Sooners and Texas A&M Aggies), Baseball (Texas Rangers and Houston Astros), Dallas Stars hockey and Houston Texans football. After working for the Dallas Stars Hockey Club for 5 years and naming her son after Brian Leetch you’d think she write a hockey story. Nope, been there, done that and the t-shirt is a rag. She prefers just to watch the game now. Less stress.
Harlie loves to hear from readers and other authors. You can find her on Facebook most days. Unless, she’s sitting in the carpool line. The bane of her existence.
