Reaching Her Book Blurb:
Josephine Powell is an intelligent
assistant professor of Psychology. She is a woman who knows what she
wants: a man who can earn a grade "A" in the bedroom, but
is smart enough to earn an "A" in romance as well. After
last night with Pierce Carver she thinks she found her first-ever
A-man, but will he be able to capture her heart in the daytime?
Pierce Carver has, between hard work
and brains, achieved everything he's set his eye on. A serial
entrepreneur, now independently wealthy, his sexual prowess has
always kept women from leaving after the deed was done, much to his
chagrin. Until the night Josephine comes into his life, that is: the
one woman he wanted to stay through the next morning! It’s the
morning after the best sex of his life, when he wakes to find neither
her nor her number, only an enigmatic note. Will he even be able to
find her? If he does, will she even want a man who has no idea how to
woo a woman?
Snippet from Reaching Her:
She
emerges from the kitchen with a tray of three very different drinks
atop. She hands the bottle of beer to Pierce as he breaks our gaze to
smile up at his mom. I really think my heart sped up a bit just the
way he looked at her.
“Here
you are hon, nice cool iced tea.”
I
take the glass, which is already sweating from the ice and nod a
thank you to her. She walks over to the chair right next to Pierce,
puts the tray on the coffee table, and then relaxes back bringing the
glass of orange liquid to her mouth.
“Well
I am glad you were fine when I knocked on your car window. You looked
a little unwell, flushed while holding that card in your hand, so I
naturally became concerned.”
I
realize this conversation is not going the way I would wish, so I try
to steer it in a different direction. But before I have a chance to
open my mouth, she starts up again.
“That
was an interesting card. I didn’t get a close look at it, but it
reminded me of the posters you have hanging in your apartment
Pierce.”
My
gaze volleys back and forth between the two. She is looking at him as
he smiles and then turns to look at me.
“Well,
that does sounds like a very interesting card mom. You must share it
with us Josephine. Was it from a friend or secret admirer?”
He
leans over, resting his forearms on his knees watching me with a
wicked grin on his face. He’s enjoying this, but I don’t
embarrass easily. I would have thought he would figure that out by
now.
“Well,
if you must know it is from an admirer. A man I met last week. He’s
sweet, but you know how men are these days Mrs. Carver. They expect
you to fall at their feet if they so much as look in your direction.
But, I’m old fashioned; I think a man should work for my attention,
hence the card.”
Pierce
is tapping his foot on the ground and I can tell he’s anxious as
his hands cup his mouth.
“Oh,
hon, tell me about it. No offense Pierce, but men should always work
for the attention of a lad, especially a woman as beautiful as you.
Isn’t that right Pierce?”
His
head drops into his hands and I can tell how uncomfortable he is. But
then he looks up at me and his smile softens.
“Yes,
mother you are right. She is quite breathtaking. Any man would be a
fool not to jump through hoops to be with her.”

Book 2 of the Him Her Them Series picks up with the sexy as fuck Pierce
trying to figure out how to find Jos.
Her cryptic note has him at a loss until his friend takes a look at
it and points him in the right direction.
Once Jos and Pierce are face to face again how will she handle the more
they both want?
Jos want's a man to work for her affection, and lucky for her Pierce
has finally found the one woman who is worth wooing.
These two have some serious chemistry, but can two people who don't do
relationships get it right together?
I adored part two and can't wait for the next book.
Elizabeth Lynx author bio:
Grew up in Maryland and lived an
average life. In college I was a theater major, but wasn’t that
good at acting so I left the acting world behind once I graduated. I
did keep up writing my comedy sketches and eventually pursued Improv.
That took me to Chicago where I was in the Second City Conservatory
Program. But, like much of my life and to my husband’s chagrin, I
gave up Improv. I have a tendency to lose interest in things after a
certain period of time, my mom is the same way. So, now I am a
writer, no longer the performer. I make my characters perform for me.
My husband and I and my two little boys have moved back to the
Washington DC area to be closer to family. Every day I take care of
my kids and while they nap or eat or play I write.
