Product Description

Sometimes what you’re looking for is closer than you think.

Jessie’s life is a mess. In the eight hellish months since her husband died in a freak accident, she’s been mugged, her house has been trashed, and now she’s receiving frightening pranks calls. She resists a friend’s offer of a weekend getaway—her grief is still too fresh to consider meeting anyone new.

Then again, since it’s a party for gay men, there won’t be any pressure, right?

ER doctor Caleb James feels perfectly at ease among his gay brother’s friends, but one look at Jessie sparks a sexual tension that’s impossible to ignore. A few drinks and a few hours of conversation later, things move a lot faster than either of them expect. Jessie is left confused and Caleb aches with regret—and love for a woman who is still guarding her heart.

Pressure is the last thing she needs. But as it becomes apparent that her string of misfortunes trace back to her husband’s death, help is what she’s going to get. Caleb’s help…ready or not.

Warning: This title contains a two adults playing doctor. But that’s okay, one of them is licensed to practice. A prescription for extra-strength Kleenex may be required.

4.0 out of 5 stars Because of You, January 16, 2010
This review is from: Because Of You (Kindle Edition)
Jessie Warner couldn't accept that her husband Tommy's death was an accident. It had been seven months since his untimely death, and the answers everyone provided didn't make sense to her. There was something wrong with the circumstances surrounding his death, and she wasn't going to give up until she knew the truth. She was miserable, and had pulled away from everyone she was close to with the exception of her best childhood friend Todd. He wouldn't let her, and practically had to force her to get out and live again. He dragged her to a party where he promised she wouldn't have to worry about any male attention because it was known among friends as Gay Fest. Jess let herself go there, and actually found herself having a good time with the only straight man at the party, Caleb James.

Jess found herself caring more than she thought possible for Caleb, but she couldn't let Tommy's death go unavenged. She owed his memory closure. When the past threatened her future, she wasn't sure she would have the opportunity to find out what was possible with Caleb.

This was tragic heart wrenching story with love, laughter, and passion. Jessie had to deal with more heartache than she was capable of carrying alone. Caleb was exactly the person she needed in her life. He provided the love and stability she was so desperately missing. A good balanced story that will have an impact!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Glad I read this book, October 22, 2011

This review is from: Because Of You (Kindle Edition)
While I had a few issues with this book, including the mystery of the villain's identity being weak, overall, I really enjoyed this emotional story. I'd love to see stories about other characters introduced here, but I haven't seen anything about this being a series. I am, however, looking forward to reading more from this author.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Book, February 13, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Because Of You (Kindle Edition)
Jessie has suffered through a lot. He husband dies, she was mugged, her apartment was broken into and then she got a death threat. Along the way she meant Calob. A doctor who's taken with her the second he sees her. Believing her husband was murdered and his death wasn't an accident she's determined to find out the truth which keeps her from having a life with Calob. He was a great character. Kind, giving, sexy.

This was a great book. There's romance, mystery, heartache, and a little sex. It makes you want to cry, but also hold of for hope that everything will work out. Certainly a good read.
