And now for today's Sunday Smooch from - Holding Out For A Hero
Scene set-up: Ella is upset after a confrontation with her teenage brother, Cam, and Jake is comforting her.
He heard the warning note in her voice. Except it was husky with more than a hint of hunger and when he took a step closer she didn’t back up and when her gaze dropped to his mouth kissing her became a force that would not be denied.
Ella sighed against his mouth as his lips settled on hers. They felt good, soft and gentle and she welcomed his slow, lazy exploration. But when his tongue stroked along the seam of her lips, a heat down low took hold and she wanted more than gentle. She wanted to feel the full force of his kiss. She wanted open mouths and questing tongues and warm, bare skin. She parted her lips, inviting him in and when he obliged, she moaned and gripped the front of his shirt pulling him closer.
To go into the draw to win a digital copy of HOFAH tell me about your favourite movie "look". You know that look. The one that curl's your toes when you see it! The one that Mark Darcy gave Bridget Jones when she was interviewing him after the big court case. That look. Got a favourite one?
Come back next Sunday, when the winner of today's giveaway will be announced!

And now for today's Sunday Smooch from - Holding Out For A Hero
When sensible schoolteacher Ella Lucas rides
into her home town on a Harley and seduces the resident football hero,
Jake Prince, she figures she can be forgiven and move on. After all,
she's just buried her mother. Two years later, back in the
city, their paths cross again but this time Jake is in the process of
destroying her favourite dive bar. With her home facing a wrecker's
ball, her school being closed down and her 15-year-old brother hell bent
on self-destruction, it's the last straw. Throw in a dominatrix best
friend who is dating a blue ribbon guy so straight he still lives at
home with his mother, it's no wonder the sanest person in Ella's life is
a dog. With
all this to contend with, the last thing Ella needs is Jake back in her
life.
Scene set-up: Ella is upset after a confrontation with her teenage brother, Cam, and Jake is comforting her.
"It’s just—it’s been a tough couple of years
and . . . I never thought I’d suck this badly at being a big sister.”
He was nodding and his eyes were full of
compassion, full of knowing, and that was the clincher: Jake did know. And Ella hated it. Hated that this guy
. . . this footballer guy knew
stuff about her past. Knew about her ostracism, her isolation, her loneliness.
Knew that behind the woman she was today and the aloof teenager she’d been,
there lurked a little girl who’d just wanted to be accepted. His eyes were
telling her he understood and despite how much she hated it, on the back of
Cam’s insult, it was surprisingly comforting.
“I swear to God, Jake, if you don’t stop
looking at me like that then I’m going to be bawling like a baby.”
Jake smiled. “Like what?”
His thumb swept across the ridge of her
cheekbone and it was so gentle Ella felt her eyelids flutter closed. They
opened again and the look in his eyes had changed. His pupils had dilated, the
green intensified. He was staring at her mouth. Was he closer? Her body swayed
a little.
“Like what, Ella?”
Like you want
to kiss me. “Jake.”
He heard the warning note in her voice. Except it was husky with more than a hint of hunger and when he took a step closer she didn’t back up and when her gaze dropped to his mouth kissing her became a force that would not be denied.
