Friday Memes: No Holding Back by Lori Foster

 Happy Friday everybody!

Book Beginnings on Friday is now hosted by Rose City ReaderThe Friday 56 is hosted at Freda's Voice. Check out the links above for the rules and for the posts of the participants each week. Don’t dig for your favorite book, the coolest, the most intellectual. Use the CLOSEST.

Beginning:
Shivers racked her body as she watched him drink. Curled in the corner, waiting, dreading the inevitable--even breathing was difficult with so much fear crowing in around her. She wanted to cry but knew it wouldn't help. She wanted to let in the hysteria, but she hadn't quite accepted her fate...not yet. 
Friday 56: 
He tossed her that crooked smile and, leaning in, kissed her without drawing her close. "Use whatever you need in the bathroom. Toothbrush, lotion, shampoo and conditioner. Make yourself at home, okay? I'll fold down the bed."
This week I'm spotlighting No Holding Back by Lori Foster. This romantic suspense title begins a new series by this prolific author. Here is the description from Amazon:
Not needing him won’t stop her from wanting him…

Trucker Sterling (Star) Parson is no stranger to the challenges a woman faces, both in her industry and in life. But she can take care of herself. She’s never needed—or wanted—a man around…until she meets Cade McKenzie. The take-charge bar owner sets off all kinds of alarm bells for Sterling, but he also sets her heart racing.
Cade’s lived in Ridge Trail long enough to know trouble when he sees it, and the moment Sterling—Star—walks into his bar, he knows trouble’s come to call. Secrets run deep in the small town and Cade can tell Star’s got as many as he does, leaving him itching to uncover every last one. But finding common ground will mean trusting one another, further feeding an intense attraction that’s growing impossible to resist.

  1. It would be fun to do this with every book before you start reading. I wonder if it might even be a good process to undertake before purchasing the book!

  2. That opening is intense! I haven't read anything by Lori Foster--at least not that I remember. I am familiar with her name, however. I hope you enjoyed this one! Have a great weekend, Kathy.
