From the First by Jessica Bird aka J R Ward is out this month. It is the third book in the Miniseries: The Moorehouse Legacy. Sounds good!

summary:

All Alex could see was her long, thick, copper-colored hair. Pale smooth skin. Lips that were naturally tinted pink. Eyes that were green like sea grass.

He stopped himself. His best friend Reese might be dead. But in Alex’s mind, Cassandra was still very much the man’s wife.

Cassandra. The forbidden woman Alex had yearned for from the first moment he’d laid eyes on her six years ago. The woman who’d been married to his best friend — the friend he’d lost to the sea. The woman who was rebuilding his family’s bed-and-breakfast…and who just might, in the process, be rebuilding his anguished heart.

The excerpt is here.

le sigh… since I must be good and not buy books I shall the second book, His Comfort and Joy I have tbr! Looks like Harlequin has sold out of it but it can still be found on amazon as can the first book, Beauty and the Black Sheep. This one started the series and was great. And the first SE I have read.

good news is there will be more… the note from the author on the H. site sez:

Dear Reader,

I have so loved spending time with the Moorehouses and hope you have enjoyed their stories as well. Love and family are the things that make life worth living and I think that Frankie, Joy and Alex each learned how true that is.

Just to let you know, Spike and Madeline are going to run into each other again very soon! And boy…you want to talk about fireworks? The two of them are spectacular together. Oh, and by the way, Sean O’Banyon has a woman in his future, too. (And so do his two handsome brothers, Billy and Mac…)

Thanks so much for reading! And I’d love to hear from you!
