Darn you, Olivia Cunning!I'm a working mother. I gotta be at work by 7am every morning come hell or crying children.And, yet, I gave away my sleep for Gabe and Melanie. Again.I am SUCH a sucker.But, I got a smile on my face.In fact, I'm feeling bulletproof right now--and that's not tequila talking. That's the delicious afterglow of a great read, my friends.Here's what happened: the email came in that my pre-order of TELL ME had arrived at 2:37 am. I sparked up my iPad and boy howdy, I had me a piece of fantastic fiction to keep me solidly awake until my alarm, had I bothered to set one, would have blared.Oh, wait...that's what happened to me.Here's what happened in the story: Gabe and Melanie met way back when in TRY ME, which I reviewed in a week-long Sole Regret lovefest. In their world, it's five days later and Gabe can't wait another night to have Mel in his bed. Or the shower. Or wherever he doesn't have to just phone-sex-her-up. He convinces her to join him a night early so they can have three nights together. Mel's on board--the plane--when her bestie Nikki shows up even though she's been completely disinvited from this rendezvous. Melanie's pissed, but she can't tell Nikki no--not while she's in the plane, anyhow.Still, the heat sizzles between Gabe and Mel. So much so that they practically meld with each other. They leave Nikki to enjoy Gabe's empty suite in New Orleans while they visit his ranch in Austin for the weekend. Mel loves everything about her kinky drummer--his passion, his house, his dogs--even his parents who pop in unexpectedly.Just when things really start to get emotional, Nikki calls for yet another rescue. And Gabe's left in the cold. Quite literally. I nearly tossed my iPad (but I forged on!) and WOW. I'm over the moon--at daybreak, folks.Some favors, if I may, Ms. Cunning?Write faster?Or, maybe, get Amazon to release your preorders at a more human hour?I'm desperate for TEASE ME, so if you could release it...soon?Pretty please, with Owen on top?Thanks. You're a peach, dear.
