I'm loving these short stories. They are my guilty pleasures. Slight push/pull. Few days separation, didn't last long, he wouldn't let it. Great story.

Sweet and hot
This one is sweet and hot with just a little bit of cheesy goodness. Stone, a brick layer, falls for Tara at first sight, but Tara has just declared to get best friend that she had given up on men. Enjoy.

Worth the Wait
Tara has just decided to give up men. She sure wasn't expecting to see Stone rebuilding the fountain on campus. He looks like stone as well, hard and full of muscle.
Will she give in and give Stone a chance?

Great sexy little romance!
I enjoyed this quick read. It was sexy and sweet all at the same time. After reading this story, I immediately ordered another one of her books! Keep up the good work Ms. Ford!

Bricklayer
Stone owns a bricklaying company. He doesn't normally do hands on work anymore but he's replacing the fountain at his university. He spots Tara jogging on campus and wants to take her out. Initially she says no but once she says she's all his.

2.5 ⭐, rounded down. This must be one of the first books she wrote, because it's awful. I've read at least 30 books of hers, and none are written like this. It has potential but needs editing. I'd pull it and re-work it because it doesn't belong in her catalogue.

Fast paced sweetness
This was a very short but sweet book. Nicely written with great characters and a cute storyline. I love a happy ending.

Short and sweet.
Stone and Tara story is short and sweet and to the point . I can’t wait to see what the author comes up with next.

A quick well written, lust to love story. There’s always a bit of drama, but that only makes the ending even sweeter. And this ending was definitely sweet, with a bundle. Love it!!
