#wotr #attendingauthor #seriesstarter #audiobook Foundation (Brady Family 1) by Lainey Davis Narrated by Tom Taylorson and Carly Robins

Meet the Brady family. They’re brilliant, brooding, and barreling into relationships whether they like it or not.

Zack Brady doesn’t do relationships. He does calculations.

When his family engineering firm sends him to investigate a sinkhole at a client’s house, Zack feels a tremor in the foundation of his carefully calculated world.

Her name is Nicole Kennedy. She’s loud and crass and has no time for nonsense. She certainly doesn’t have time for a mysterious trench swallowing her yard. To make matters worse, the grouchy engineer who shows up to fix it is the same jerk she’s forced to run beside during the corporate relay race her boss insisted she run.

Somewhere between jogging and poring over geotechnical engineering plans, Nicole and Zack feel the earth move. Can they overcome their past to build something meaningful?

Foundation is book one of the Brady Family series. If you love messy family dynamics, unforgettable characters, and sizzling chemistry, you’ll devour this new series by Lainey Davis, creator of the Stag Brothers series.

Review by Twinsie Dee

i bought this audiobook here is my honest review.

When Nicole is just trying to do her job, but her boss is making her participle in the corporate relay race, which is the last thing she wants to do, but her boss is determined to win not that Nicole cares really but guess she’s needs to be a team player while still doing her job. But with all this training now added to her schedule that her boss is making her do, don’t think she’s not going to ask him for a raise because of all of this. Since the rules for the race says they need to have a female representation on each team and Nicole was the lucky winner for her law firm. Zack is talked into being a trainer for this race and luckily gets paired to train Nicole, he isn’t one to flirt or deal with women like Nicole, but he finds himself feeling all these different feelings he’s never had before. These two find themselves working together in more ways in one Zack has to evaluate Nicoles yard when a landslide is happening in her very backyard, and with him being her trainer to the fiery spark has them pulling to each other and sliding in more ways than one. Which runner will cross the finish line first for their law firm and get bragging rights. this was a funny and good story, I laughed too hard in more than one spots, great read.

#WOTR24 #SeasonedRomance #Teacher #Nurse – Lesson Plans by Lainey Davis

She’s totally off limits…and she’s also kind of mean. He wants her anyway.

Doug Rogers has it all planned out. He just needs to teach summer school and be the TA for one tiny class at the nearby university and Doug can pay for his masters in education. Hard work, big rewards, right?

But he wasn’t planning on Amy Peterson. The almost-nurse in his comp class seems mad at the world, and particularly mad at Doug. She’s one class away from her nursing degree after five long years of hard work, and she doesn’t have the time or the patience for her optimistic instructor. The more he tries to talk to her, the more he seems to shove his foot in his mouth.

When a work accident brings Doug to the emergency room, he sees Amy in action and knows he’s a goner for her. Will he ever win her over? Should he even be thinking this way about an undergrad?

Lesson Plans: An Education in Romance is a steamy prequel to the Stag Brothers series and the Bridges and Bitters series. Readers have loved Doug and Amy from the sidelines in both series. See how their story begins in this novella.

Lesson Plans originally appeared in Happily Ever Afters for Hope, a charity anthology to benefit UNICEF efforts in Ukraine.

Review by Twinsie Angie

I bought this book.

I have not read this author before.  I wanted something short and sweet so I could get a sample of her writing.  I grabbed this book off her website for a couple bucks when I had a free afternoon to read.

The characters in the story are older and I love this.  Amy isn’t a fresh faced college co-ed finishing her nursing degree.  Doug isn’t an old professor.  He too is finishing his degree.  The two meet and there is some attraction, but hello teacher/student romance would be frowned upon.

Doug is going out of his way to help Amy with her studies for sure and she is kinda stuck in a pity party about missing classes.  When Doug is at the ER and he sees Amy he kinda calls her on her stuff. He wants to know why she is blowing off school.

I liked the couple.  They both had realistic real-life issues and concerns. Being a person who went back to school in my late 30’s I get the issues of life stopping your dream/drive to finish something.

I enjoyed the book and am looking for another short read by this author to fill in another few hours this evening.

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.

I’m Lainey Davis and I live in Pittsburgh with 3 feral sons, 2 rescued rabbits, and 1 tired husband. I’m obsessed with the steel city and set all my books here. I write steamy contemporary romance that’s hot, heartwarming, and often hilarious. I’m excited to figure out how much coffee is too much.

When you are writing a book, which is harder? The first book in the series or the others after it?

First book is so difficult! You need to hook readers into the new world. It’s really hard.

When writing a series how do you keep things fresh, for both your readers and also yourself?

I’m usually writing right up until deadline, so a lot of my books pull from current events or things happening around me. That always feels really fresh to me. When a sink hole opens up in Pittsburgh and swallows a city bus, that will show up in a book a few months later.

Writing can be an emotionally draining and stressful pursuit. Any tips for aspiring writers?

I don’t write every day or even every week! I build mental rest into my schedule so I have time to calm down in between books.

On a typical day, how much time do you spend writing?

On writing days, about two hours of actual keyboard clicking but a lot of time pondering, walking around my living room, talking to my pets about plot points …

Do you have a favorite character that you have written? If so, who? And what makes them so special.

Ty Stag is just a perennial favorite of mine. He’s a huge teddy bear and he LOVES his June-bug.

What is your definition of success?

A reader emailed me a photo of a tattoo she got inspired by my book. That’s pretty much the pinnacle of success for an author.
