I love this book. The hero, Alex, was just so much fun to torture. He's sole heir to a steel fortune, a real estate tycoon, and a real dog when it comes to the ladies. He's got everything he wants, but that's where the joy of writing comes in - making him want something he can't have and has never wanted before. Mwahaha. <-- Evil laugh
The heroine, Gwen, was a lot of fun, too. She's short and spunky. In a way, she reminds me a little of my great grandmother. She was four foot, eleven, but that never stopped her from giving her grandsons (all 6 foot plus) a piece of her mind. She even broke a chair spanking my uncle over her knee once. Gwen has the same fire in a tiny package, and I love that about her.
She's also got a little bit of my mom in her. Gwen is a caretaker, a giver. She'd do anything for anybody and ask for nothing in return. She's a nurse, and a surrogate for a desperate couple. If her apartment were larger than a postage stamp, she'd probably take in stray animals and unloved children. She deserves so much more than her life has given her and Alex is just the guy to give her everything she needs.
If he'd just get his head out of his rear end. Men.
Anyway, so let's celebrate! Let's pour some mimosas and pretend we're in the Hamptons for the 4th of July like Gwen and Alex are in the story. We're surrounded by sun and sand, country charm and subdued elegance. Tell me how you're spending your 4th of July holiday and you could win a copy of More Than He Expected!

Andrea,
Congratulations on your new release! Please pass me a Mimosa, cabana boy. And you could you please tilt the umbrella a little?
I plan to spend my 4th going to see "Magic Mike" with my youngest sister. Other than that, probably catch a few fire works.
Magic Mike was a hoot! A few of us went Saturday night and boy, the audience was ROWDY. :) Hope you have a good time, Ginger.

Yay! Happy release day! And please pass me a virgin something. I'm spending my 4th kicked back in a recliner still recuperating from last week's surgery. I wonder if the cabana boys would give me a gentle shoulder rub? Oh, Raoul! Come over here you sweet thing!
PM -- who is disappointed she has to wait to go see Magic Mike.
Congrats!
We celebrated over the weekend at my mom's house. Will spend a quiet 4th at home reading outside!
I must say these books of yours were great reads....and i hope to see more of Sabine in a later read?
Congradulations on your new release! For the Fourth, I went to my mothers for hamburgers and hot dogs.
Anonymous - I really hope to do Sabine's story, but I have a couple projects that have to come first. Keep an eye out for it, though!
By the way, my winner is Mark! Email me at author (at) andrealaurence (dot) com with your mailing address and I'll send a copy of MORE THAN HE EXPECTED your way!
