Review & Giveaway ~*~ Bidding Wars by Lacey Wolfe



Blurb ~*~
A sheriff plus a nurse plus a house equals trouble…

Nurse Molly Harper has had a tough year. But when she decides to regain control of her life, buying her dream house becomes her first priority. Finding the perfect house and falling in love with it—that’s the easy part. The hard part is getting rid of the obnoxious man who thinks he’s going to be the new owner. Even if he is gorgeous. And the sheriff…

Sheriff Luke Logan needs to buy a house. Getting out of the renting game will help in the custody battle for his son, so when the perfect place pops up right on his street, he can’t believe his luck. But there’s already an offer on the table, and the woman won’t back down. Too bad she doesn’t know that he always goes after what he wants, and he has no intention of letting her have “his” house. Even if she does make him feel that he might need more than just a house to make a home…


Excerpt ~*~
“That’s the only reason?” She wasn’t sure why she was disappointed.

“What were you hoping I would say?” His gaze locked on hers and held it.

There was no way she was going to ask if it had to do with her and the hope that they could have more. But as he stared at her with lust-filled eyes, she knew she had to say something. “I guess I just thought…from the stuff you said yesterday that maybe it was…never mind.”

Luke moved closer to her. Molly’s breath caught, and the sound of her racing heart filled her head. She did her best not to look at him, but her need to see his eyes was too strong. She gazed up and found he was staring at her with nothing but passion in his eyes.

She inhaled a spicy fragrance that tingled her senses. He reached out and rubbed his hand along her cheek. She closed her eyes out of instinct. Just the feel of him touching her brought back feelings she hadn’t experienced in a long time. The nerves in her body stood on end, and it was almost as though she were being tickled. She shouldn’t be enjoying this. In fact, she should tell him to stop again and not come any closer, but, man, did it feel good, for once, to just feel.

And feel she did. He was close enough now that she felt his warm breath touch her skin. Opening her eyes, she saw his focus was on her lips—his mouth inches away. If she made the slightest movement, she’d taste him.

She ached to grip his shirt and pull him to her. If they kissed, it would be passionate and ignite a fire deep within her. She hadn’t kissed another man since Steven. Could Luke be the first?

She pushed up on her tiptoes. She was going to do it. Reaching out, she was about to wrap her hand around his neck. Her gaze was locked on his, and it was as though they were moving in slow motion.

“Sheriff, you in there?” A man pounded on the door, sending it flying open.

4 Star Review ~*~
Bidding Wars is the first book in a new series (Love Strikes) by the lovely Lacey Wolfe.  She has done it again with this book and gives us a sweet romance with just enough drama and twists thrown in to keep you from putting the book down.

Molly and Luke are great characters who both want the same house in a nice little neighborhood.  So a bidding war begins ~ until they come face to face . . . The sparks that fly between them make this about more than just a house.  Can they come to an agreement about the home they both want?

Lacey creates a real life experience that many people can relate to on multiple levels with her characters and situations.  There really is no fluff, the characters encounter gritty scenarios and struggle with them just like you or I would.  I think that is my favorite part about Lacey's books ~ I can relate to the situations she puts her characters through on a regular basis.

Recommended if you like a sweet realistic romance that deals with issues and situations that you might face or have faced!  A fairly quick read, perfect for a relaxing summer day.
