Storm Brewing

by Jen Luerssen

Choosing a place to hide out for a few months became far easier when I saw Happy Endings Resort advertised while looking for a rental. I thought it was a little ironic at first, but it also made me feel hopeful.
Things have been intense lately. My job, an abusive ex, and a general feeling of uneasiness.
A storm was coming so I decided to hide for a while.
Here I am, enjoying the beautiful weather of South Carolina, the peacefulness of a small town, but mainly just staying inside. 
I’ve kept to myself, working, playing video games, and drinking beer. Pathetic, I know.
One day, a nosy neighbor sets me up on a blind date and that’s when everything changes.
It’s not what you’re thinking, the blind date never shows. Instead, I get stuck in a storm with Nick, a sexy distraction, and all around good guy.
That’s when the hiding comes to an end and I’m forced into the eye of the storm. I'm just hoping to make it to the other side with a real happy ending.

About the author

Jen Luerssen grew up in New Jersey and then lived for 20 years in the San Francisco Bay area. She has held various jobs in her adult life. Some examples are nanny, waitress, receptionist, dispatcher, caterer and finally teacher. She spent the past 8 years teaching 4th and 5th graders, until last year when she felt the call to write. It’s been plaguing her thoughts and dreams for years, and those thoughts finally fought their way out.

Jen loves to read, obsessively. She has an unhealthy attachment to her e-reader and is rarely seen without it. She’ll read anything, but especially loves a good smutty or a post-apocalyptic young adult book.

After “retiring” from teaching, Jen sat down and wrote a book and it was the most fun she’s ever had working. She is self-published even though she’s not sure how it works and hopes that people like her stories.

Jen is back in her native New Jersey and lives with her husband and daughter, enjoying suburban life.

[Carol Seymour · Rating 5 out of 5]

A quick steamy but still extremely romantic read. It includes angst, romance, humor, steam and even a bit of mystery. Jen has brilliantly include all this in a quick read, great for the beach, the cabin in the mountains or even a quiet lazy snow day at home! Thank you for this great pick me up novella! "Nic" is hiding out in a little cabin in Happy Ending, South Carolina. She is hiding from life, fear and an Ex Love. She bumps into Nick and the sparks fly in the dark.

This author knocked it out of the banter park again. A fun little novella.
