I Do-ish

by Laney Smith

Emersyn Wilson was in love with falling in love, and she was good at it. She was also very good at making men fall in love with her. She accepted eight marriage proposals – from eight different men – only to realize she wasn’t in love enough to make it to the altar. Emersyn was known to her family and friends as the “typical, runaway bride.” She wasn’t proud of that title. However, she wasn’t willing to settle for less than the best, just to outrun some childish moniker.

Rhett Huntley was the picture of success. He was an outstanding, commercial investment broker and he also owned one of the most popular hotspots for nightlife – a neighborhood tavern which appealed to the thirty-somethings crowd. With his charm and attractive features, stacked on his success, Rhett was quite a catch. The only problem was Rhett realized he still had a few wild oats. He had no plans of spending his free time mowing a lawn, or chasing a couple of little kids, or curling up to the same woman, every night. Maybe one day, but certainly not anytime soon.

When Emersyn met Rhett, the chemistry between them was explosive. Emersyn couldn’t get enough of Rhett’s time. Rhett was good at reading women’s intentions, when it came to certain encounters. Emersyn was an easy mark, in Rhett’s experience. He had no issues getting her to play into his games of seduction. However, while Emersyn thinks she’s finally figured out why she couldn’t commit to her previous relationships, Rhett is hell bent on being the one “her momma warned her about.”

Now that Emersyn is the one who is ready to commit, has she met her match? This wild, racy tale will leave you wondering, but enjoying the journey to find the answers to all your questions.

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.

This was another engaging story from Smith. It kept me guessing and entertained from start to finish.
