It Had To Be You, a contemporary romance by
Kat Henry Doran
BLURB
Madeleine
Flynn returns to Serenity Harbor intent on restoring her beloved home to its
former grandeur. Nothing will get in her way. Including a man whose jeans fit
in all the right places and who handles a staple gun with the with the grace of
a philharmonic conductor.
Acting
on their own agenda, local power brokers expect general contractor Azrael
Hanson to monitor renovations on That
House--and toss in a few
diversions whenever possible.
Torn
between duty to superiors and a private life he craves, Az knows standing with
Maddy will damage his career beyond salvage. If he follows orders, he'll lose a
future with the only woman who has brought a new word to his life: hope.
EXCERPT
“Hanson,”
she rasped between swollen, broken lips. “Are you from around here?”
He
nodded. “Born and raised. Why?”
“I
remember a family with six, maybe seven kids. All were named after the minor
archangels. Are you part of that clan?”
“I
am. My family owns Hanson Scapes.”
“So,
you're from here, too,” he said, feeling more than a little stupid at the lame
statement.
Despite
the ER doc's warning to not let her talk, Az liked the sound of her voice. She may have lived in Serenity
Harbor long enough to know about his mother's obsession with angels, but she
hadn't stuck around long.
With
her height and that Lauren Bacall voice, a woman with her looks stayed in a
man's mind. And this one fell under RLT.
Real
Looker Territory.
“My
name is Maddy Flynn.”
One
of his nastier habits was spitting out the first thing that came to mind. What
came out of his mouth earned both feet, one elbow and the opposite fist all in
one bite.
“Oh,
sure. You're the girl who wants to rehab the whorehouse.”

LOL love the excerpt. I can't wait to see how Az recovers from that one. Iced tea is my favourite summer-time drink, adding bourbon is a brilliant idea.
Ha, excellent excerpt!! Love the hook. :) The recipe sounds delicious! Thanks for sharing. Congrats on the new release!
Sounds like a lovely drink and book!
Good luck and God's blessings

Gotta love a guy who can't help but stick his foot, etc. etc. in it! Hope Az has a quick come back. Best of luck, as always.
Thanks to Lu, Ali, Pam and Margo for stopping by. I love this story so much, probably because I laughed out loud the whole time I was writing it. I hope you enjoy the 'country boy' if that's to your liking.
Best wishes to all and many happy holidays.
