“Yeah—Well—I—” I take another drink. Damn it, Amanda, fucking act like you’re literate. “I know what it’s like to chase something that once seemed impossible and come up on the better end.”
“Something tells me you’re not talking about a man?” He smirks.
I chuckle. “No, not a dick. I never chase dicks.”
“You’ve got quite a mouth on you.” He runs his hand over the whiskers of his beard and raises his brows. “I like it. So, what is it you do chase?”
“I’m a writer.” I state proudly.
“Oh . . . that explains it.” He nods as though he already knows my life story, and I bristle.
“What is that supposed to mean?”
He leans forward, resting his elbows and forearms on the counter so our faces are inches apart. I’m trying to be pissed here, but with him this close I get distracted studying the way the blue in his eyes catches the dim light.
“People watching,” he murmurs, his tone a seductive allure.
“Huh?” I’m still lost in those eyes and don’t remember exactly what we’re discussing.
“The way you watch people. It’s something a writer does. Finds entertainment and joy in the mundane of life. It’s beautiful, really.”
“I never thought of it that way.”
“So, what is it that you write?” His voice is back to a casual pitch and I relax.
“Romance.”
“Ah . . . I knew with that mouth you’d have to have a naughty side. What kind of romance? Fifty Shades or the Fabio-grandma type stuff?”
I roll my eyes. “You do realize there’s so much more to it than that?” A little laugh escapes my lips and his gaze drops to my mouth. I feel the need to lick the parched skin. Fuck. I’m so screwed.
“Only if you want to be,” he says and his eyes blaze with the same heat I feel all over my skin.
“Huh?”
“You said, ‘Fuck, I’m so screwed,’ and not gonna lie. I’d like to help you with that.”

For the rest of No Joke by Kacey Shea you'll have to preorder Because Beards! Thank you for helping us make a difference to support the real life men with love by raising money for prostate cancer and treatment by your love of reading.

About the Author
Kacey Shea is a mom of three, wife, and indie author who resides in sunny Arizona. She enjoys reading and writing romance novels as much as her son loves unicorns, which is a lot.

When she's not writing you will find her playing taxi cab to her children while belting out her favorite tunes, meeting friends or family for food and to share some laughs, or sweating it out in the gym. Kacey finds that picking up heavy weights repeatedly is good for her mental health as much as it is for the physical.

She has an unhealthy obsession with firefighters. It could be the pants. It could be the fire. It's just hot. On occasion she has been known to include them, without their knowledge, in her selfies outside the grocery store.

Kacey one day aspires to be a woman hand model in a sexy photo shoot. You know, the woman's hand raking across the muscular back or six pack stomach of the male fitness model. Yep, that hand.

Until that day comes she will continue writing sexy, flirty romance novels in hopes to bring others joy!

I received an ARC of Caught in the Flames by Kacey Shea in exchange for my honest review.
How can you go wrong with hot fireman and anything that Kacey Shea writes! This was no exception. I loved the characters and was expecting one story, and get a completely different story! The characters are amazing, who can't relate to Callie? She is a young women at the top of her life. Working a great job right out of college, and just bought her first house! She gets to meet the hot Fire Captain from the local firehouse and life is great! Then in a matter of minutes everything in her life turns upside down. Can she right herself and find a way to be happy once again?
Such a great story, with hot fireman, crazy situations and characters you will just love!
Definitely a must read!

Synopsis:
Callie Gordon is more than a little obsessed...
I love firemen. Heroic. Selfless. Brave. Not to mention the uniform with those damn sexy pants...I can’t get enough. Imagine my surprise when local fire captain, Chase Matthews, wanders into my yard on moving
day. I’ve hit real estate gold. Hot as sin with that all­knowing smirk creates an instant spark. Welcome to the neighborhood never looked so good.
But dating a firefighter isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Chase keeps me at distance even when I
attempt to break down his walls. A friendship with the nosy eccentric woman down the street
reveals there’s more to Chase than he’s willing to share. I’m playing with fire and bound to get
burned. Secrets unfold. Truths are brought to light. Can I handle the heat? Or will my love for this man prove that sometimes even good girls have
to burn down the house?

Excerpt:
I hate coffee. Okay, that’s a lie. I just hate the way it’s impossible to jog and drink coffee at the same time. After tossing and turning alone last night when I should have been tangled up with Chase, I woke
early and decided if I’m not getting lucky I might as well get in better shape. Besides, what else
do I have to do on a Sunday morning?
I lace up my sneakers and hit the pavement with purpose. But that energy fades with each
advancing step. My abstinent morning exercise plan messes with my normally caffeine infused
routine. So when I turn the corner about a half mile into my jog and Kiki flags me down with a
cup of java in her hands, I have to stop. The cool morning air hits the hot brew and causes a swirl of steam to rise over the mug. She
observes my infatuation and invites me inside to join her in a cup. I can’t not say yes. Not saying
yes to coffee is like refusing Jesus. Okay, bad example. Lots of people refuse Jesus. I can still be
friends with those people. But people who refuse coffee? I don’t trust those fuckers.
So, instead of running to stay in shape for my hot ass fireman boyfriend, I’m having coffee with
Kiki at her kitchen table. Enjoying every second. I inhale the roasted brew before cooling it with
my exhale to take a long sip. Kiki’s interior décor is a mix between eclectic grandma and boho chic. Really, I wouldn’t expect
normal from Kiki, so it fits her perfectly. “So, what is it you do for a job, Callie?”
“I’m a graphic designer.”
“Oh, that’s lovely, dear. Do you make T­shirts?” She furrows her brows and sips from her mug. I grin in response. “I actually do design for a firm that specializes in website development and
company re­branding. Sometimes I get to design logos that go on T­shirts.”
“A creative mind. I knew we were kindred spirits.” She pats my arm. “Plus, you’re a coffee
addict like me.”
“How did you know?” I sigh as I take another sip. She laughs, a throaty chuckle with a knowing
look on her wrinkled face. “It’s written all over your face. I’m what I like to call seasoned. I’ve been on this earth a while. I
can tell these things.”
I bite my lip. She does seem to exceptionally intuitive. Maybe she can help me out. “What else
can you tell about me?”
“You love yourself one of those fire boys,” she answers with a glint in her eyes. “How do you know that?” I almost gasp. Maybe she’s psychic or a fortune teller. Oh, maybe she
can read my aura. “I just know.” She shrugs as Silas jumps onto the table. Kiki shoos him down and he complies
with an irritated meow. “That, and the ladies at tai chi told me you’ve been dating the captain.”
She smirks. When she raises her mug to salute mine I have to let loose a little laugh of my own. No special mind reading powers, just good old fashion neighborhood gossip at its finest. “Yes, I’ve been dating Chase for a few weeks now.” Remembering the disappointment of
yesterday and our missed date I have to resist the urge to pull out my phone to see if he’s called
or texted. I’m sure he hasn’t. He won’t get off until nine and with this being his third shift in a
row I don’t expect he’ll want to come over. “Trouble in paradise already? That’s not good! You’re a beautiful woman. He’s hot as sin. What’s the problem?”
“No trouble. Really.” My lips pull into a frown as I remember the Evil Grocery woman. Maybe
there’s more trouble than I’m aware of. “I’m not convinced. Tell Kiki about it and I’m sure I can help. Besides, I know everything about
everyone.”
I grin and consider her offer. I’m sure she does know everything. But I wonder how good she is
with sharing secrets. I don’t have the time or energy to be involved in neighborhood politics. She
scratches at her neck and it reveals a little of her weathered skin. I’m surprised at the colorful ink
scrolled across her shoulder. This woman is full of surprises and there’s something in the way
she smiles at me that makes me want to be her friend. “Okay. I’ll tell you my problems on one condition.”
“Shoot.”
“You tell me the stories behind all your tattoos.” I smirk and she does that throaty chuckle again. “You sure about that? That could take days. I have lots of ’em.”
“Stories or tattoos?”
“Both.”
“Yeah. I’m sure. What’s that one on your shoulder?”
“Oh, this ol’ thing? This is one of my favorites.” She pulls down the neck of her blouse and her
bra strap so I can see better. It’s a bouquet of flowers. I recognize the violets, periwinkle, and
lilies, but it’s the foreign words scrolling through the center in script lettering that captures my
focus. It’s beautiful. “What does it say?”
“Il dolce far niente.” The words roll off her tongue in a soft caress. “Is that Spanish?”
“Italian. It means, it is sweet doing nothing. This was my first tattoo. I got it the summer I turned
eighteen. My friend and I took our life’s savings and flew to Europe.” She chuckles that rough
laughter. “You can imagine our parents weren’t too thrilled. We had been raised to grow up and
find a spouse. Maybe spend a few years in college first, but then find a mate. Instead, Bets and I
took off for an adventure. My parents tried to keep me from going. Insisted I was doing nothing
with my life.”
“So you got a tattoo about doing nothing?” I grin. “Yes. Though it was far from the truth. I ended up doing my fair share of Italian men that
summer.” She waggles her almost translucent brow and I lean forward over the table. This
woman is fascinating. Her fingers stroke the rim of her mug, and light bounces off the diamond
on her left ring finger. “Did you marry one of those Italians?” Her eyes follow mine to her ring and she just grins. “My turn is up. Tell me about the captain.”
I can’t help the way my face pulls into a smile just thinking about Chase. I take a gulp of coffee
and try to put my feelings for him into words. “He’s the most attractive man I’ve ever dated. And
I’ve always been a bit infatuated with his profession. But I didn’t pursue him. He asked me out, and, well, it’s only been a few weeks but I’m a goner. He really is the most perfect man.” I know
I’m gushing and sound more like an infatuated teen than a grown ass woman but I can’t seem to
stop. Kiki smiles warmly and then pats my arm before standing to move to the counter. She
brings back the coffee pot and motions to my cup. I nod with a grin. “Beautiful men. They were always my downfall, too. And a man in uniform is difficult to resist. I’d warn you to be careful, but sounds as though you’ve already crashed and burned for this
one.”
“Is there any reason I should be careful with Chase?” I ask because something tells me if there is, this woman would know. “Oh, honey, there’s always a reason to be careful in love. Doesn’t mean the heart listens.” She
smiles and I return it. I should excuse myself to leave now. It’d be polite after taking up so much
of her morning, but I don’t want to take off just yet. I want to know more about Kiki—her
tattoos, her stories, her life. “Will you tell me about another tattoo?”
“If you have the time, dear. I’m sure you have other places to be than spending your day with an
old woman.”
“I have time.” At my answer her grin pulls into a smile that fills her entire face. Her eyes crinkle
so much they almost close. “Well, how about this rose here . . .”
I get so wrapped up in Kiki’s tales that it’s hours before I finally jog home. The afternoon sun
beats down on my skin and the humid air makes it difficult to breathe, but there’s a lightless on
my soul and even in my steps as I trot the familiar path home. I’m glad fate crossed my path with
Kiki today. Rather than spending the entire day obsessing about Chase I gained a new friend, one
whose wisdom and life adventures fascinate me beyond measure. I can tell she’s a little lonely, and who wouldn’t be, living in that house alone with no career and no family. But today I think I
needed her company as much as she needed mine.

Uncovering Hope by Kacey Shea

                                       
 Uncovering Hope by Kacey Shea is booke three of the Uncovering Love Book Series by Kacey Shea. However I received an ARC of this novel, and had never read the previous books, so thi can definitely be a stand alone. 

This story starts with Carly who is a young mother of two boys trying to make it with an ass of a husband. She is out into a terrible position that she uses to help change her life, for her boys sakes. She ends up working as an oncology nurse, working nights living with her brother and his fiancée. They watch her boys while she works the night shift with sick kids fighting cancer. 

One night at her brothers engagement party Casey runs into the super sexy hot tattooed drummer of Three Ugly Guys named Derek. They've meet once before and have been in each other's fantasies for months.  Then a new Docor shows up that all the nurses are talking about, Dr Garrett Brooks. Casey all of a sudden goes from. Singl mom of two working as a use with no love life, to a sexy hot women that has two guys interested in her. Mean while, some crazy things are happening to Casey. Like a phone call for her at work, or her car's battery lines cut, or a stranger waiting in front of her home in a mask on Halloween. Between trying to raise her boys, buy a house, work full time, and figure out if she should rust her head and date the doctor or trust her heart and date the musician, Casey has no time to see the really threat to her and hype boys. 

This book is super good! I loved the duel love story that was their to show the real trouble we all go throu after being hurt in the past. This is definitely a romantic suspense novel that is fast pased with multiple POV and amazing character development. You will easily relate and fall in love with Casey.

I strongly recommend you add this to your TBR list! Comes ou Tuesday March 22, 2016.
