This book is not every girl's shot of Jameson.

If watching two wounded souls heat up as much as the bodies that contain them is... arousing?
If you like a dirty talking, good lovin' hero matched with a girly girl with a spine of steel who melts at his touch?
Then this might be a book you want to read.

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.

This was a very good read. It has bad boys, cheeky girls, mystery, romance and HOT SEX!! The mystery was very good and I really liked the characters. There was lots of banter among all of the characters that was really funny. Loved that the main male was handicapped but that didn't take over the whole storyline. Will definitely read more of this series.
I received a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.

Great read!
Loved it so much! I couldn't put it down. Although Candy being so damaged seemed a bit contrary to some things, I would read it again.

In trouble? What better place to work than Protective Security & Investigations? Well done!
Jameson, the boss at Protective Security and Investigations is lighting up his new office manager, Candy. Someone else, however wants to turn out that light and rule her world. Which one will succeed?
This is a fascinating story. Jameson and Candy seem an oddly matched couple. Each has 'issues' with which to contend. It's thrilling to see each of them blossom into a happier person as they get to know each other better and fall in love. All the young guys in Jameson's office adore her and would do anything for her. There are dangers around her, however, and things begin to happen that threaten her safety. What can they do to keep her safe?
Be forewarned; this has dark moments. The end result made me very happy!

I loved reading this book. Once I started it was hard to put down. Ms. Giroux is a new author for me and I can't wait to read another one of her books. I received an ARC copy of this book for a voluntarily honest review
