Frankie The Wrecker

The third book in the Builder Chicks series! This is a sexy and hilarious series that deals with people dealing with realistic issues, overcoming obstacles, and letting go of past trauma in order to chase the love of their lifetime. Frankie possesses a knack for deconstruction, not construction. She dismantles rather than builds. The one creation she nurtured was her relationship with her fiancé until his betrayal shattered her love for him. Proving too difficult to forgive and forget, Frankie finally walks away. After picking Frankie to be his forever girl, George can't be happier by the news of the breakup, but when his past womanizing turns out to be a major turn-off for Frankie, he struggles to prove his worth as a trustworthy suitor. Each with their own history of shattered trusts, the two strive to rebuild themselves and accept each other amidst the wreckage of their past and present disasters.

‘A young, naive kid, with a brand-new football. Over time, the leather aged from the bumps along the trail. The Footscray winters and some glorious liniment-scented afternoons. All of the laughs, the scraps, the yarns and characters. The game. It all left a mark on me, on my soul.’ Bob Murphy has never been a typical footballer. Music buff, Age columnist and Winnebago driver, he is as comfortable in a quiet corner of a Fitzroy café or the front bar of a grungy pub as he is in the locker room. Murphy takes the reader inside his 17-year career, including his three years as captain of the Bulldogs, exploring the people, places and events that shaped him: from playing backyard cricket in 1980s Warragul to Community Cup with Paul Kelly in the 2000s, and from the joy of marrying his high-school crush to the agony of a season-ending ACL ruptures. How did the country kid with a gypsy’s heart become an All-Australian captain? What’s it like to have your club win the grand final for the first time in 62 years and have to cheer from the sidelines? How does it feel to realise you can no longer do the things that made you great? The celebrated Australian football bard Martin Flanagan has long insisted Bob Murphy has a book in him like no footballer has written. Leather Soul proves him right.

Dr. Frances Robertson is confident, beautiful, single, independent and going on 40.

Gorgeous, young, and virile, Jack harbours a painful past and insecurities under that handsome exterior. The sparks fly and Frankie soon finds herself teaching Jack a thing or two in the bedroom. The intense sexual heat between Frankie and Jack soon turns into more, and both simultaneously worry about and pretend to ignore the looming date for her return to Vancouver. The seemingly perfect, steamy romance becomes strained as neither wants to admit their feelings or face reality. Hot and torrid, their passion flares and tensions mount as Frankie and Jack have to decide whether love will be enough to heal their bruises....

Glasgow, 1971. The old way of life is under threat for the tight-knit community in Dalbeattie Street, Maryhill. The shadow of the wrecker's ball looms large over their homes, and they must face the choice of moving to a new estate or dispersing throughout the city. But powerful friendships refuse to be broken. These characters have gone through too much together to be destroyed by some measly planning scheme. They'll face this with the same inimitable Scottish humour and strength of spirit that have carried them through other tough times. Douglas' vivid portrait of Seventies Glasgow recreates, in glorious detail, a particular time and place, but at its heart are the universal themes of love, friendship and community.

TJ and Jonathan are teen-age friends and teammates on the JV baseball team. Like many young people growing up in America in the late sixties, they have heroes. For TJ, who is white, it is Mickey Mantle, the aging star of the New York Yankees. For Jonathan, who is black, it is Martin Luther King Jr., the leader of the civil rights movement. Unfortunately, 1968 is a bad year for heroes and—America. Their friendship is strained to the breaking point when Martin Luther King Jr. is assassinated. Jonathan, who is devastated by the murder, blames all white people, TJ included. TJ then has to struggle through the challenges of the JV baseball season in his racially-torn town, without the support of his friend. Is there anything that can repair their broken bond? Would it take still another American tragedy?

Tainted. Targeted. Far from Tamed. Getting past that brute of a guard patrolling Damien’s territory was hard, and rather fun. Delilah wants to taste every delectable square inch of him, but Frank wants more from her than she can give. She has to leave, before her enemies catch her, punish her. . . before Frank makes her feelagain. Delilah’s no good. She’s tainted, with a target on her back. And Frank wants her, badly. She’s his future, but she won’t admit that. He won’t let the humans have her, even if it means starting a war. Frank will have his Felon, one way or another. ◆◆◆ Fight Hard. Love Harder. Frank’s Felonis the fifth book in a wolf shifter romance series full of romance, intrigue, and deadly heroes. If you like alpha males and smart women who fight for what they believe in, and you want a very HEA, then you’ll love Julie K. Cohen’s Broken Shifters series. Recommended Reading Order I wasn't sure where to place Mason's Mission in the book order for the series. Mason's Mission can be read after Frank's Felon, but it technically occurs 5 years before Frank's Felon, so you may wish to read Mason's story before Frank's. I believe it's best to start the series with Damien's Dilemma. That said, one reading order could be: Damien's Dilemma Blade's Battle Callen's Captive Hayden's Haven Mason's Mission (this is a jump back 5 years) Frank's Felon

Their women come from troubled packs that won’t let them leave... not until these shifters get involved. Hayden’s Haven (outcast, found family, tortured soul) Traitor. Outcast. Predator. That’s what they call him from the shadows. And they’re right. He’s all of those… and much more. Hayden will do anything to protect Mila, even challenge his former alpha, the brother who cast him out years ago. Frank’s Felon (grumpy sunshine, redemption, avoid commitment) Delilah’s tainted, targeted, far from tamed. And Frank wants her, badly. She’s his future, though she won’t admit it. He won’t let her enemies take her, even if it means starting a war with the humans. Mason’s Mission (forbidden love, rejected mate, secrets) Takara’s the enemy, born on the wrong side of the border. Despite how her pack abuses her, she refuses to defect to Mason’s pack because doing so will mean war between their packs and risk something greater than her and Mason’s love for one another. ◆◆◆ This collection includes three full-length novels that include danger, steamy sex, a lot of emotion, and several twists. Each ends in a Happy Ever After.
