Rumor Has It #2
Bed Buddies
Rumor has it…
Kinley Reed is burning up more than just the dancefloor—she’s getting a “check-up” from the town’s hot doc, and he’s being thorough…
Nothing spells coming home to Pine Valley like G-O-S-S-I-P with a capital G.
Kinley Reed is not the type to fool around with men she just met, but when Jace Detweiler strikes up conversation two barstools down, she can’t help but feel like he might be exactly what the doctor ordered: one steamy night of unbridled passion.
What they didn’t expect was their sexy studio tryst becoming talk of the town.
Not willing to be taken down by the town’s cranky busy body armed with social media, Kinley concocts a plan to get even: a no-strings-attached fling in the name of revenge — a dish the sexy doctor and Broadway dancer are serving any way but cold.

Title: Fall Fling
Series: St. Helena Vineyard Kindle World
Author: Stephanie St. Klaire
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Publication Date: April 5, 2017
Cliff Hanger: No
4 Stars
*This story is for mature audiences only. Contains explicit scenes and language intended for adults 18+
Synopsis:
When the bright lights of New York City sends her packing, Heather Reed finds herself back in small town USA, with shattered dreams and a broken heart. Miles from Broadway, St. Helena may be where home was, but it’s certainly not where the heart is. Especially when it comes to men.
Town Pediatrician, and single dad, Clay Walker was hot, hot, hot and looking to settle down. St. Helena boasts all the small town charm the single dad was searching for when he moved to town with his son a few years ago. What the hopeless romantic didn’t count on was being lonely.
A chance meeting, and twist of fate, leaves the unlikely couple consumed with one another in a one night only tryst of unbridled passion. When cranky Nora Kinkaid happens upon them lip locked and hot, she broadcasts it on Facebook for the entire town to see – pictures included. What becomes Heather’s humiliation quickly turns to Clay’s hopeful optimism.
Not willing to be taken down by the town busy body, Heather concocts a plan to get even. A no strings attached fling, in the name of revenge, gives her a chance to cut loose and find herself while it gave Clay a chance at forever. Can the doctor heal all wounds and provide a satisfying life the dancer has been running from? Or will a choice between New York City dreams and Saturday morning cartoons wreck it all?
My Thoughts:
It was fun to be back in the vineyards of St. Helena again. I really enjoy the Kindle World novellas and this author has painted a great picture of this town and it’s people.
Fall Fling provides just enough sweet and heat to keep the pages turning! The hilarious antics of the townspeople and the uproariously funny Nora Kinkaid and her witty Facebook posts had me in stitches! The heat between Clay and Heather is smoking and I love how their relationship builds throughout this fast, but thoroughly satisfying read!
Grab this book and a glass of wine; sit back and enjoy Clay, Heather, St. Helena and the wonderful crazy people that live there! I thoroughly enjoyed my time there!

Wow and the laughs and hijinx keep coming in the little town of Pine Valley. This time sexy single dad Jace and town newbie Kinley are making things steamy. This is a great page turner with a great group of supporting characters. You will love to hate evil miss Evelyn, she seems to pop up everywhere. I happen to LOVE single dad romances and Bed Buddies did not disappoint!

Kinley and Jace (Dr. McSteamy) practically seared my Kindle from the very beginning of this book. Kinley is moping around at the local bar lamenting on her broken dreams she left in New York as he attempts to flirt with her. They share a few drinks and some laughs before deciding to give in to the sizzling chemistry between them and have a "fling." As their story progresses, Kinley continuously tries to deny that their fling is becoming more serious and insists on being just "bed buddies."
Then there's Evelyn Shirley, she's the town's gossip queen with Facebook being her weapon of choice. She always seems to be lurking around, snapping photos of their escapades. They decide to make their fling into a game and one up Evelyn by posting their own photos and tagging her before she can dish the dirty details herself. Of course, this just brings them closer together and adds more fuel to the fire burning between them.
Unfortunately, a few unexpected twists and changes of events seemingly breaks what was beginning to be a happily ever after for these two. Can a relationship built on just a fling between bed buddies be enough? Will the odds stacked against them be too much? There's only one way to find out! Pick up your copy today and be prepared to laugh, gasp in awe, sigh in bliss and maybe just cry a little.

Jace is the Pine Valley Pediatrician, and as such, he is well known and well liked by most of the townspeople. Kinley was a Broadway star until her dance partner dropped her, and her ankle shattered. When that happened, her fiancé dropped her and her career ended. So she’s a little lost and feeling sorry for herself, when she meets Jace in a bar. He’s moping in the same bar because he’d been stood up for a blind date. They start talking and flirting, and soon they are enjoying a quick one-night stand.
Evelyn Shirley, a bitter older woman who runs a rumor mill via Facebook, captures their goodbye kiss and splashes it across her site, complete with tawdry innuendo. Kinley is still hurting from being recently burned, and is hesitant to start anything up with Jace. Jace is very interested in Kinley, and is willing to be patient.
This couple spend time together and get to know each other, but Jace has a secret he’s keeping from her, and this adds a little tension to the story. Kinley has to figure out what she really wants, before it’s too late.
This story made me laugh in places and tear up as well. I read it in an afternoon, right after finishing Sneaking Around, part one of this trilogy. Each story stands alone, but is a much richer tale if read in order.
I’m looking forward to whatever is next in this wonderful little town! These characters are fun and well-thought out, and this town would be a great place to visit.

Wowzers, this book was my buddy today as I read the day away. I can think of no better way to have pass a rainy day than laughing and swooning over Dr. Jace.
For those of you that have read DILF diaries you will remember Dr Jace, pediatrician. For those of you that haven't, you really should. It is AMAZING!!! I will confess I didn't much care for Dr. Jace in Portland. Dr. Jace of Pine Valley had me rooting for him.
Dr. Jace falls into an unexpected one night stand with Kinley, former Broadway dancer. It doesn't take long to end up part of the gossip on #RUMORHASIT run but the town busy body, Evelyn Shirley. I don't like the character but I do love to laugh at her sarcastically wicked tongue. Her holier than though judgemental attitude has no boundaries. How is able to get the info just stumps me. I wonder if the author is whispering in her ear.
There is no such thing as a one night stand in a small town where everyone knows everyone and all seniors think they have the ability to matchmake. I smiled at their antics. But the character I fell in love with was JT. He is absolutely adorable. He was so easy to fall in love with, to root for, to wish the biggest HEA to come his way.
Bed Buddies was just a wonderful feel good story that made my day. If I was down this story was a pick me up. If I was feeling out of sorts this story was the glue that put me back together. It was perfect. I can see why #RUMORHASIT is the town's guilty pleasure. I hope you will all the series to be part of your library.

Fantastic!
This story is incredible! A fun and adorable love story that warms your heart and makes you smile. One might say a love story times two if you include JT!
Kinley is very focused on all she has lost. Her life has become a confused mess without direction. Meeting Jace, the town pediatrician, keeps Kinley on her toes avoiding him and anything sounding like serious. It doesn’t help matters when she meets JT. These two guys are easy to love.
Jace is HOT. He is easy going, kind hearted and available! He’s attracted to Kinley but he has his son to think of so he needs to take things slow and see where it leads. Sounds like these two can’t get out of their own way. A recipe for disaster when you factor in the “evil” Evelyn Shirley who manages to catch them in the most compromising situations then posting the details, with pictures, all over social media.
A hilariously fun, heart warming journey of discovering that dreams change and people need to grab the brass ring and live happily ever after!
Excellent job! I loved it!

In this story, we have Kinley, who was a dancer in NYC. However, she had a bad fall, and now is back in her home town, helping her sister teach little ones at a local dance studio. Kinley feels that she is a wash up and isn’t happy with her life now that she’s back home.
One night while trying to look for something to do in the small town, she winds up at the local bar, which is the only place open after 6p, and meets a handsome stranger who she is taken with.
Jace the local town pediatrician’s in town, was supposed to have a blind date and that was why he was in the bar. He sits next to Kinley and they hit things off.
A local town busy body - Nosy Nora had a Facebook page which talks about all the local gossip. She talks about how the Dr Jace and Kinley have been seeing each other and wonders if this is good for their town. Kinley and Jace decide to amp things up and give her more to talk about.
Will Jace and Kinley be able to keep up the fake relationship or will they really fall for each other?
I did receive a free ARC copy. I am freely leaving a honest review.

Kinley and Jace barely meet when the sparks fly off them. The town kid doctor and the almost Broadway star have nothing in common. Until they are caught by the Rumor Has it Facebook page. Then they have a common enemy. While Jace would like to see a future for them, Kinley isn't sure where her future lies. Her dance career ended with an ankle injury along with her fiancee's promise to marry. She came home to regroup not to find a soulmate.
Kinley's reaction to being in the crosshairs is to give a somewhat true story behind the rumors. Jace goes along with it just to be close to Kinley. But things get complicated quick when feelings get involved. I loved these two. Kinley is a woman who has lost her path. She finds one that she never thought would be the right one for her. Jace is a man who has made some decisions on what was best for others and found himself to be ok with it.

Should we chase our dreams or catch our soulmate?
Another hit from Stephanie St.Klaire ! I really enjoyed the first book in this series, Sneaking Around, and I couldn’t wait to see what she had in store for this one and oh boy did I ever laugh ! Another really funny story but this one holds a little bit more of a deeper side and my heart swelled with a nice turn of events. It’s nice to be brought back in the small town of Pine Valley and hear more about the residents and also to have a little peak at the previous characters Molly and Seth. Kinley’s and Jace’s story is a passionate situation turned into something more and I liked the way they handled the town’s gossipy old lady . I’m looking forward for a next book !!!

Heather Reed moves back to her home town after her dreams are crushed. Clay Walker is the town pediatrician and single father.
Their attraction is instant and explosive. A fling that is developing into something deeper and more meaningful. I love these two characters together. Sometimes life doesn't take you in the direction you wanted but in the way it was meant to be.
I really liked how we got to revisit the residents of St. Helena and that Nora is still up to her tricks.
There is just something about the small town of St. Helena that makes you want to visit and never leave.
The author has a wonderful way of capturing that small town feeling.
Stephanie St. Klaire and a visit to St. Helena, it doesn't get any better than this.

Pine Valley hasn’t changed much since Kinley left for the bright lights of New York City, except that Town Cryer and BusyBody Evelyn Shirley has Kinley in her sights and on her Facebook page! It seems that a girl can’t just go out to a bar and let loose , and perhaps get lucky with a local Pediatrician without it making the local tattler, complete with handy dandy photos courtesy of the cellphone! Kinley decides that she will give Evelyn something to run with and goes right into Jace Detwieler arms and dreams. What she thinks is a temporary distraction for her just may turn into a happily ever after complete with ready made family. ms Dt Klaire has down it again with her fun, lighthearted look into small town living. This series seems to be more enjoyable as she goes.

Stephanie St. Klaire has a quirky sense of humor which she turns loose on the pages of Bed Buddies in the series Rumor Has It. As in Sneaking Around, the instigator of the town facebook gossip page is at it again, this time with Jace, the town pediatrician, and Kinley, a Broadway dancer who comes home to Pine Valley due to a serious injury. What occurs is rom-com at its finest! Every small town has a gossip monger and the things posted on the Rumor Has It facebook pages are rarely the exact truth. Though Bed Buddies and Sneaking Around are part of the same series, both are stand-alone stories and can be read in any order. There are many sex scenes, but a relatively mild heat level. Both are quick reads but definitely worth the time. Dive in and prepare yourself for a hilarious ride!

Well Clay Walker town pediatrician is about to find that out. When he and Heather are caught outside of the dance studio by Nora Kincaid the towns busy Body. Oh yes. But Heather takes it in stride until Nora goes to far, and she will stop her. Even if that means playing at her own game.
Clay and Heather agree it will be one night. What happens might be more. But he's not up front about something. Will she leave or stay? She has a second chance. It's big. See what happens.
Buy now!!!
Highly recommended.

Absolutely adored Kinley and Jace’s story in Bed Buddies by Stephanie St. Klaire! Her books are always a ton of fun to read and I find myself relating to her characters throughout her books.
Kinley reminded me a lot of myself. Trying to find a way to start over after life knocks you down and doesn’t quite want to let you back up for air. Jace is attracted to Kinley from the start, and the sparks are flying, but he also has a son to look after too.
Are these two willing to get out of their own way to get the HEA? Is love enough? Such a great book and as always, an aut buy for me. I don’t even need to read the description to know I’ll love the book!

Fall Fling -a must read!
Stephanie St. Klaire brought me to tears! Fall Fling is a fun filled, fast paced love story that will have you believing I happily ever after. Heather and Clay are a meant to be couple, IF Stephanie could get passed the hurt of being dumped after losing her dancing career to injury. After coming home to 'liked' her wounds', she and Clay pick each other up at the local bar, once 'caught' by the town gossip, they decide to pay her back by being seen together as often as possible. This plan may backfire on someone. ..

Such a sweet Love Story between Doc Jace and Twinkle Toes Kinley. Doc Jace is the town Pediatrician and Kinley the dance teacher. They are caught in a compromising position by #Rumorhasit Facebook pages (Evil) Evelyn outside the dance studio after a one night stand. Kinley and Jace give her more of what she wants while saying they are just bed buddies until Evelyn takes it too far. Kinley definitely won’t let her get away with it. Kinley is put in a position of choosing to stay or go. What will she do? A love story full of suspense, humor and steamy love scenes. A must read!

A broken heart and shattered dreams leave Kinley with no choice but to return to Pine Valley, and in the path of hot pediatrician and single dad Jace.
Soon a one night stand turns into a fling and into something more. But Kinley being vary of relationships keeps looking at it as a way of getting back at the town busybody Evelyn.
Bed buddies though a short, quick read, it packs a punch worthy of a full length novel. It is fun, cute, romantic, steamy ....... so good that I can keep adding the adjectives.
A definite recommendation.

Kinley and Jace’s story is sweet, fun, and quirky. This is a love story that starts as a casual hook up, grows to a fling as a scheme to outwit the town’s gossip, and becomes forever. This is a story overflowing with great characters and an engaging storyline which will keep you involved from beginning to end. This is a wonderful series that you don’t want to miss! There is so much scheming and shenanigans you won’t want to stop reading!
Loved both the stories in this series so far and hope there is more Pine Valley residents to come!

When Kinley's career as a Broadway dance is ended by an injury and her fiance dumps her she moves home to be with family. While sitting in the bar feeling sorry for herself she picks up the guy sitting next to her. Thinking it's just going to be a one night stand Jace doesn't know what he's in for. When nasty old biddy that writes the town gossip page on Facebook starts embellishing the facts to make them look like more...... Stephanie has a sharp sense of humor that makes the pages hum. Totally worth the read, lots of fun, laughs and a really good time.

Wow, what a fantastic book! Stephanie St. Klaire has, once again, done what she does best. She brought the town, and the people, of St. Helena to life. I felt like I was reconnecting with old friends. This story brought out the whole spectrum of emotions...heartache, love, laughter, and that squishy all-over happy feeling. I found myself cheering for Jace and Kinley, feeling angry at busybody Evelyn, and wanting to hug JT! You really should read this book. Just make sure you have time, because you won't want to put it down!

Funny and sweet romance.
Loved it. Had me laughing and teary eyed. Nothing like having a nosy neigbor to report everything her facebook page #RumorHasIt.
The small town doctor pics up the newly returned to town dancer freshly kicked off broadway. What better way to get over the blues, but with a one-night stand. Of course nosy neighbor reports all. They both decide to give her something to talk about. Can this "fling" turn into something permanent?
Read and find out. Definitely recommend. Especially to lovers of single dad romance.

I really enjoyed this cute book! Kinley has her heart broken after losing her career and fiance. She comes home and meets Jace, the sexy kid doc in town. Jace falls pretty hard and fast from Kinley. A fling turns into something more, add in a sweet little three year old boy And of course you bring in Evelyn and her #rumorhasit posts and you have a hilarious story. I loved this book. It is a must read!

This is a cute story set in Pine Valley (like Sneaking Around). In this one Kinley moves to Pine Valley after an injury ends her career of being a dancer. She meets Jace, a cute pediatrician in a bar & they start talking. They hit it off & their relationship becomes the talk of the town because of Evelyn's #rumorhasit facebook page. They decide to get back at Evelyn for those posts by spending more & more time together (as well as spending time with Jace's little boy).
