Pay Back
Being auctioned off like a piece of meat was not high on Joseph Camenitti's bucket list, meeting a mystery woman from his past, that he could like, a lot.
Evie Tolland had spent WAY too long thinking of herself as the ugly duckling and that was going to change immediately.
He's all caveman, she's an old fashioned girl. Something's gotta give!

About the author
L.C. Giroux
25 books22 followersI think I'm like a lot of my readers, I'm married, got a kid, a house, a full-time job, I sew clothes, and I write contemporary romance novels in my (cough) spare time. Oh, you don't do that?
It started in high school, I wrote a serial romance novel in a black and white composition book one chapter at a time. As each chapter got finished the book would get passed around to all my friends. They loved it and couldn't get enough. Except one of them left it behind after class one day and the only name on it was mine. I ended up in the Vice-principal's office trying to explain that it was fiction. In his defense, it was written as a journal. He couldn't believe I could know that much about sex and relationships if I hadn't done any of that. I told him he needed to watch more TV.
After years of stumbling around in more jobs than any other two people I know, I'm back to writing and loving it! I still have my day job in medical research but the fun starts when I get home.
I write for women looking to inject some contemporary romance into their busy lives. To that end my work tends to clock in at about 40- 50 thousand words or about 200+ pages. Short enough that you can read it in between everything else you do but long enough that I can develop the characters a little.
Reviews are crucial for a self-published writer so if you review one of my books on the site you got it from send me the link. As a thank you for taking your time I'll send you the full cover art from that book. You can have your own collection!
I also have a podcast! Romance Me! Radio brings together experts in relationships, sex, money, and others along with the best of romance reviews and releases to inform, motivate, and entertain. You can subscribe here: http://bit.ly/1ldUbbD
I love to hear from my readers so feel free to drop me a note. I try to write back as quickly as possible.

Quick and easy romance read - In some ways even could be considered a kind of second chance novel as the heroine had a crush on the Lead when they were at school together.
Well developed and written storyline

Definitely better than the first in the series. Cam/Joseph was very compelling. I thought their romance was nice, but I thought that two weeks then a wedding seemed a bit too unbelievable. It was nice to see Michael and Violet, and the part about the sculpture just killed me! It was hilarious!

Good night, nurse...!
It starts with a smut prologue that makes *NO* sense, because it's some erotic dream a 35-year old virgin (!?!?!) has. If she's a virgin, she'd have to be watching some serious erotic porn to even KNOW what would go down, hello.
Then we're introduced to Cam, who was paralyzed in the line of duty... but still has 'working man parts'. Um, that's NOT how paralysis works. Do these authors even *KNOW* what they're writing?!?!?! She also writes that it's a good thing 'he still fit his uniform'... except that clothing doesn't fit the same, sitting down - his pants would be high-waters. When you're in a chair, you get pants that are longer to make up the difference, hello... and so they don't squeeze up at the waist.
I HATE authors that don't do their research. And write garbage. And start off with the smut they're too impatient to BUILD UP TO in the story, because they can't seem to manage a good novel.
Worse is the writing. Utterly lacking in grammar, shoddy characterization, spelling errors, and the descriptive writing was absolutely abysmal.
This is trash. On every level. Yuck, yuck, yuck.
DNF-ing it with absolutely no regrets.
