What’s your favorite down-home

Our family loves my homemade meatloaf with sides of mashed
potatoes, peas, applesauce and a veggie. Total comfort food.

every night before bed.

About the Book

Book Title: Lip Service

Genre: Contemporary paranormal romance

Author: Adele Downs

Book heat level: R

Jack Harris has loved
Legs Anderson since they were kids. Now that he has her in his bed, he has no
intention of letting her go. Aunt Ada has other ideas, even from the grave.

GETTING BETWEEN JACK…

Orphaned at a young age,
Legs Anderson owes her Aunt Ada everything. The stoic old lady raised her, and
Ada’s warnings about men—and the Harris boys in particular—have stuck, even
after her death. Of course, that could be because Ada stuck around, too.

…AND HIS LEGS

Patience is not one of
Jack Harris’s virtues, and he’s waited too long to start a life with the woman
he’s loved since childhood instead of them just knocking boots. Now Ada is
interfering from beyond the grave, haunting the old Victorian house she
bequeathed to her niece and reinforcing Legs’s fears of commitment. But Jack
won’t give up. No matter what trouble may follow, the house will be renovated,
Ada will learn to let go, Legs will put her money where her mouth is…and then
Jack’ll put his lips everywhere else.
