Grapehead Cravings

by Laney Smith

I couldn’t stay, and he couldn’t leave. I knew I was leaving Colorado when I started flirting with Rick McEntyre. I had no intention of falling in love with the guy. I didn’t expect him to fall in love with me, either. One thing led to another and here we are. The thing is, it’s not just about Rick and me, anymore. He doesn’t know it, but I’m not the only one who just moved to Memphis. I’ve gotten myself into a real predicament. It didn’t matter what I said or what I did, Erica felt she had to go to Memphis. I want her to be happy, so I’ve been supportive. She didn’t mention her plans to move when we started dating. By the time I found out she was leaving, it was too late. She’d already taken my heart. I’m not too proud to say that I really love her. It wasn’t two days after she left that a mutual connection drops the bombshell that Erica and I are apparently expecting our first child. There’s another thing I wish Erica had told me. It doesn’t matter. We’ll discuss it . . . as soon as I get to her place in Memphis. Apparently, Erica is craving this certain type of candy. I’ll just deliver some to her, personally. This woman is driving me every kind of crazy.

About the author

Laney Smith, the mother of two sons, is an American author who was born in Little Rock, Arkansas and raised in Texas. In her teen years, she and her family (including two younger brothers) moved to Colorado. Laney has also lived in Mississippi and currently resides in Southern California. Since a writing career seemed to persistently tug on her shirt tails, Laney eventually decided to try her hand at the art, writing news articles for a local newspaper. After numerous front page features, a new passion was born and the storyteller decided to try her hand at fiction. Her debut work, Lock Creek: One Year’s Time is still one of her most popular, frequently read works, proving that she managed to escape the “first is the worst” curse. In fact, Smith’s Lock Creek series won a “books-to-screen” contest and is currently being adapted for a television series, with other potential “books-to-screen” projects looming on the horizon. At the time of this publication, Laney currently has eight novels to her credit, as well as short stories in two anthology projects (no longer in print). She also released one novel under another pen name. Looking back, Smith’s only regret is that she did not start writing, sooner. When she is not submerging herself in her fictitious worlds, conjuring up riveting stories, Laney enjoys spending time with her family. Whether she is in the mountains, hanging out at tide pools, watching a sporting event, or enjoying some form of art, the writer’s mind is always dreaming up the next page-turning tale. Having accomplished so much in such a short time (Lock Creek: One Year’s Time, her first work, was published July 2014), Laney Smith has found her passion and her calling. The author, with her feet firmly planted, guarantees her readers that she is here to stay.

Reviews

[Jeanne Richardson · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the 2nd book I've read written by Laney Smith; she has done a great job at writing a good short story I can’t wait to read more of her books.

The story line caught my attention at the very beginning and kept me interested throughout the entire book.

I received a free copy of this book via booksprout and I’m voluntarily leaving a review.

Smith's books are always very entertaining. Her books provide the type of reading experience where before you even realize it, the book is half over because you got so pulled into the story and couldn't put it down.
This was a great story with vivid characters. I enjoyed it from start to finish.
