The Best Man by Ana Blaze Blog Tour (Excerpt)
Blurb
Beth Chase is too busy planning perfect weddings to worry about the
lack of action in her own love life. But if she was looking for a man, she
wouldn’t be looking at Colin Pratt. Her boss swears that Best Man Colin is a
quiet scholar and science fiction writer who couldn’t possibly cause a fuss at
his own brother’s wedding. He’s clearly never met the man in question. Snarky,
sexy and more than a little inebriated, Colin is the final obstacle between
Beth and the last perfect wedding she needs to make partner. Of course, when
she helps him into a taxi at the end of the night she has no idea that he’s only
just begun to poke holes in her professional exterior. Colin might have the
skills to seduce a romance professional, but can he convince her that he’s the
best man to share her happy ever after?

Excerpt
Colin followed
her, snatched her hand and spun her around so her back was pressed against the
wall near her bedroom door. He kissed her again, one of his magic kisses that
left her weak in the knees and nearly distracted from the matter at hand.
“You
can’t just get all sexy every time I disagree with you.”
His teeth teased her earlobe. “Quite
right,” he murmured.
“I’m
trying to have a serious conversation here.”
“We’re amazing together. Tell me you don’t
feel it too?”
“Of course I feel something, but it can’t
be love.”
“Why not?”
“It takes more than a couple days to know
if you’re compatible enough to share your life with someone.”
Colin touched her temple. “You’re talking
about something that comes from here instead of the thing that comes from
here.” He placed his hand over her heart.
“Yeah, well I’m pretty sure the body part
you’re thinking with is a bit lower.”
Shaking his head, he pulled her hand up and
placed it on his chest. “You’re under my skin, Beth. There isn’t a part of me
that doesn’t want you.” He brushed her hair off her forehead.
“You took a pretty hard hit to the head the
other day.”
“It started before that. You floored me the
moment we met.”
“You’re claiming love at first sight?”
“Is it so hard to believe?’ Colin skimmed
her bottom lip with his thumb. “You have a stack of videos in the other room
that tell me you want to believe in happily ever after. Take the chance.”
“Those are fantasies, pretty stories about
pretty people. I like them, but I don’t think they’re real.”
His hands kept moving; they slid up her
neck, down her arms. They tugged her shirt out of her skirt and caressed the
small of her back. “Want to know what I think? I think you liked me from the
start. I think you felt this connection too, right away. You tried to act all proper but you couldn’t
wait to get your hands on me.”
She laughed. “I thought you were a pain in
the ass.”
“You mean you couldn’t stop looking at my
arse, saucy girl.”
"Saucy girl." Love it! Congratulations on your new release, Ana!
