Today, I’m going to incorporate my Hump Day Hook into my Virtual Blog Tour for my latest release, Dating Impossible. Love sharing this story with you! Today we learn that Dr. Cruz Avery can’t dance, despite his numerous other charms…If you’d like to participate in my VBT for Dating impossible, the instructions are below my paragraph for your chance to win $100 Amazon Gift Card and free e-book copy of Dating Impossible!
“Does that mean you girls are looking for a dance partner?” a familiar baritone drawled. “I believe I can take you both at once.”
“Cruz,” Ambra said, turning toward him. “I’m
not dancing with you ever again. Not after the last time. You didn’t just step
on my feet, you mutilated them,” she complained. She inclined her head toward
the bartender and squinted at his name tag. “Hey, Josh. You dance?”
Surprise registered on Josh’s face. “Why, yes,
I do.”
Ambra held out her hand. “Let’s go!”
Without hesitation, he grasped her fingers,
navigated around the counter, and off they went. JJ watched their progress with
her back to Cruz. She sipped the tequila Josh had refilled before heading off
with Ambra.
“Well?” Cruz murmured next to her ear. His
breath fanned her neck, igniting little coils of warmth low in her belly that
had nothing to do with the alcohol.
“Well, what?” she replied, enjoying the
sensation of having him near. Reluctant to turn in his direction and break the
close proximity of their bodies, she kept her gaze trained on the crowded dance
floor.
“That leaves you and me. Care to get a little
dirty?” His tone purred seduction.
That’s it! Hope you enjoyed my snippet! For the

BLURB:
Focused
on her career, Dr. JJ Jones doesn't have time to date—and she certainly doesn't
want to date the "player"
of the ER none other than her girlhood crush, Dr. Cruz Avery. JJ found out the
hard way that romantic relationships in the work place don't mix forcing her to
relocate back to Arizona and change jobs. She's determined to spend her free
time enjoying her Harley, reading true-crime novels, and learning about the new
community she lives in. Dogged by the gorgeous Dr. Avery with his skillful
hands, disarming smile, and hot lips, her resolve wavers. For now, she's having
fun making his mission to date her down right impossible!
EXCERPT:
But damn if she wasn’t all prickly
one minute and hot and yummy in his arms the next. His cock hardened and he
shifted in his chair. Large almond-shaped green eyes, pink pouty lips, and that
sexy belly button ring and tattoos. Cruz shook his head. JJ was definitely a
mix of contradictions. She was all innocence and badass rolled into one. And
smart.
None of his usual bullshit lines
would work with her. So how was he going to get past her no-dating-a-co-worker
rule and find out if they had the possibility of a real future together?
Christ, she was making this entire dating thing impossible. He rubbed the tense
muscles of his neck.
Sex two nights in a row
doesn’t mean we are dating. Or in a relationship.
Her words looped over and over
against his skull and were the other reason why he couldn’t concentrate on
jack-shit today. What he needed was a plan. But what?
He sat up straighter in his leather
chair. The kernel of an idea blossomed. What if she didn’t realize they were
going out on dates? Yeah, baby. He liked the notion already. But he’d have
to tread carefully. JJ was a clever girl. Cruz would just have to be one step
ahead of her in order to make his plan work. And once she was hooked on him… He
glanced at his reflection in the full-length mirror that hung on the back of
his office door and pointed to himself. His lips curved into a perfect smile
and he winked.
Who could resist this?

Loving all these snippets :)
Thank you, Alicia! This was a fun book to write!!
Great snippets. Very sexy. š
Mmmmm...he's teasing her...I love that she doesn't want to turn and break that nearness. Steamy - and does she say yes? Great hook!
Great writing! Loved the chemistry.
Looks like these two are about to sizzle on the dance floor and maybe elsewhere. Nice hook.
She might not want to admit it yet, but "yes" she does want to get a little dirty. Great hook, Kathleen.
Fab chemistry, well done.
He's definitely a hottie and JJ had better be careful or Cruz is going to roll right over her...which might me a wonderful experience. :D
Terrific snippets. Congrats on the new release.
She'd better watch her step. He's got danger written all over him-- the good kind. Congrats on your release!
Looks like things are heating up. Wonder if she'll finally give in. Nice hook!
Love the tension you're starting to build here between the characters. I agree with another poster ~ steamy! Good hook! :)
Thank you!! I love this couple!!
Oooh loved "...care to get a little dirty..." Nice!
Every time I read this excerpt I get a little more excited to read the book. I didn't think it was possible to think it gets steamier but it somehow does with his arrogance when he looks in the mirror?
