Excerpt
Marley
It had been a month of hell for me. I was one of only three overworked yet well paid event coordinators at the Raleigh conference center, and the last one hired. What does that mean? It means I was everyone else in the office’s bitch. I was the one to pick up their slack, the one who got stuck working late because I didn’t have kids and the one who was given the mega bitches because I was so good with them.
I handled all sorts of clients. I dealt well with brides and mothers of brides. I could easily ignore mood swings and mega melt downs. Businessmen loved me. I could stroke an ego like nobody else. I never received a complaint. I was born and bred for this position.
But the event I was working on that day was like no other I had been involved in. The Readers Romp in Raleigh was an author signing hosted by a book blog that apparently read, reviewed, and pimped out authors they loved.
Why was this worse than a wedding? Bloggers (fan girls, as some called themselves) were the worst mothers–of-the-bride on the planet. The hosting blog’s event would be critically judged by every other blogger and book whore (raising my hand, I’m one of them) on the web. They wanted it perfect for the more than seventy-five attending authors and three hundred attendees or fan girls.
I dealt with them just fine. But the day of the event, when the authors arrived in droves, it was like the ultimate diva-fest. They bitched about where their tables were. They didn’t want to be next to the author they were originally beside because ‘she stole my storyline,’ or the ‘bitch copied my cover,’ or ‘that whore stole my model.’
Models? Male models? The brakes in my head slammed to the floor and my view on this event changed.
Hot damn! There were twenty shirtless studs in one ballroom. And being the ball handler just happened to be my job too.
I tried to refocus on the tasks at hand but in the back of my head was a reminder that today was an anniversary of sorts. It was five years ago today that I met Max.

About The Authors:
Haylie Harbour
Haylie contributes the person she is today to the tragic circumstances she faced as a child. She learned at a very young age that life can throw you a curve ball at any moment.
Her mottos are: “No matter how bad your life may be, someone else has it worse,” and “Strength, it’s what gets us through the day”.
When she needed an escape she found it through books. She began reading very young and as she got older her taste in books changed from sweet and innocent to a little more risqué.
If you saw her today you would probably see her with a book in hand (the dirtier the better). She is an avid reader of anything smut. You name it, she’s probably read it. In more recent years she has acquired a taste for the darker side. She most enjoys it when an author pushes her limits.
She loves the friends she has bonded with through reading and loves lending a helping hand to those in need.
Victoria Andrews
Victoria is a happily married mother of two. Nothing brings her greater joy than spending time with her family. Hearing her children laugh is music to her ears. She loves to put on country music and dance around the house with the girls while cleaning, cooking and doing everyday tasks that may seem boring and mundane to others.
She is often found outside by the pool reading while her girls swim.
Talking to Haylie and Marley on the phone and online or attending their bi- monthly "book club" meeting is her adult time. She says "I don't know what I'd do without them."
Grinding In Greenville is the first book these three woman have written together, giving y'all a look into what goes on in Tori's seemingly boring life when she winds up with these two crazy women she lovingly calls her best friends.
Marley Roberts
Marley Roberts is a free spirited, book junky who loves the male form. The harder the better.
Born and raised on a farm in Woodstock, NY with her father(s), mother, sister, extended family of vagabond, pot smoking, hippy, peace lovers, Marley ran as fast as she could seeking normal at-- COLLEGE??????
What she found was a respite from being judged by small minded asshats, hot ass boys who knew nothing of her past, and two of the best friends a girl could ask for.
Today she spends her day in her penthouse apartment she shares with Haylie. That also serves as Boyfriend Bookstand HEADquarters * wink * reading, hanging out online, and finding new toys (plastic and those of attached to hot, delicious males) to play with and share with her present and future author friends.
Confused? You won’t be.
Read, my friends, and stay beautiful.
