Blurb for PUSHING THE LINE:

Free-spirited artist Harper McGee is happy to go wherever the wind takes her…until her flight pattern sends her back to Brentsville, New York for her beloved grandmother funeral. Harper’s grief turns to shock, however, when she discovers her grandmother has named her sole proprietor of her candy shop, Luscious. But she has no intention of being anchored to one place, and anyway, she doesn’t know the first thing about running a kitchen or a business. Selling Luscious is the only viable option— until the shop catches fire due to old wiring. Fixing the damage requires major work, and if Harper wants to put it on the market, she needs major help.

Thrill-seeking firefighter Aaron Fisher has never walked away from a challenge or a friend. So when a fellow firefighter is hurt on a call and can’t complete a side job for his contracting company, Aaron’s quick to jump in. He’s done plenty of fix ‘er ups for his buddy in the past, and despite his silver spoon upbringing and his no-holds-barred attitude, swinging a hammer suits Aaron just fine. That is, until he discovers the client is the same impetuous woman he forcibly dragged from the flames of Brentsville’s local candy shop.

The more time Harper and Aaron spend at Luscious, the hotter their attraction burns, daring them both to shed their tough outer layers to reveal the tender desires beneath. But when a buyer makes Harper the offer of a lifetime, she must choose between roots and wings. Can two people who live in the moment learn to see past the moment, or will Aaron and Harper always live their lives pushing the line?

*                     *                      *                      *                       *

Harper McGee is heartbroken at the loss of her beloved grandmother, Isabelle. Now with the fate of Izzy’s candy shop, Luscious, left in her hands, Harper decides the best thing to do is sell it and move on. It’s what she’s always done – keep moving, never settling in one place for too long because that way she doesn’t have to commit to any one place or any one person.

When the candy shop nearly goes up in flames, Harper is thrown together with a sexy risk taker very much like herself, only Aaron Fisher is firmly grounded in Brentsville. Soon he makes her want to settle down, too, but can she?

PUSHING THE LINE, novella four in the Line Series by Kimberly Kincaid is as sweet as the candy shop, Luscious, and imagined scent of pecan clusters that Harper teaches Aaron to make before they make some magic themselves in the bedroom. It’s a wonderful climax, if you excuse the pun, for a wonderful series featuring some of the most delightful, sexy, and real characters I’ve ever met.

I loved that Kimberly gathered her couples together to help Harper discover that she belongs in Brentsville, and with Aaron. I’m sad to see this series end but I know that Kimberly has more coming to us soon. But whether you’ve read the complete Line Series up to this point or are new to the series as a whole, I highly recommend PUSHING THE LINE by Kimberly Kincaid. Don’t miss out on the first three in the series – LOVE ON THE LINE, DRAWING THE LINE, OUTSIDE THE LINES – all novellas and all delightful love stories that will make you laugh, make you sigh, make you fall in love, and probably make you hungry since Kimberly always includes a chance for her couples to cook together – in the kitchen. *wink*

About the Author:

Kimberly Kincaid writes contemporary romance that splits the difference between sexy and sweet. When she's not sitting cross-legged in an ancient desk chair known as "The Pleather Bomber", she can be found practicing obscene amounts of yoga, whipping up anything from enchiladas to éclairs in her kitchen, or curled up with her nose in a book. Kimberly is a 2011 RWA Golden Heart® finalist who lives (and writes!) by the mantra that food is love. She has written two digital novellas, LOVE ON THE LINE and DRAWING THE LINE, about hot cops and sexy chefs, with a third novella, OUTSIDE THE LINES, due this summer. She is also thrilled to have collaborated on a Christmas anthology with Donna Kauffman and Kate Angell, titled THE SUGAR COOKIE SWEETHEART SWAP, to kick off her Pine Mountain foodie series with Kensington this October. Kimberly’s first full-length novel, TURN UP THE HEAT, will follow in February 2014. She resides in northern Virginia with her wildly patient husband and their three daughters.

Review Stop on a Tasty Book Tour for OUTSIDE THE LINES by Kimberly Kincaid

Welcome to my stop on the Tasty Review Tour for OUTSIDE THE LINES by Kimberly Kincaid. I’ve been a huge fan of this series from the beginning when I first read LOVE ON THE LINE by Kimberly Kincaid, so it was an automatic yes, when I was asked to join this tour to read and review this wonderful second chance romance novella. Be sure to hang till the end - there's a giveaway!!

Blurb for OUTSIDE THE LINES:

As an ivy-league ER doctor who eats double shifts for breakfast (and lunch…and dinner), Blake Fisher has little appetite for anything other than work. Being on the staff at Brenstville Hospital means taking care of people, a need Blake understands all too well from losing his brother to cystic fibrosis eight years ago. When he’s asked to coordinate a carnival fundraiser for the cause, he jumps at the chance to help others with the disease…until it lands him side by side with the one woman he never thought he’d see again: his ex-fiancée.

Streetwise and rough around the edges, Jules Shaw is no stranger to earning a living through hard work. But when her job as the restaurant manager of Mac’s Diner puts her shoulder to really broad shoulder with Blake Fisher, she nearly balks. She’d rather dodge and deflect than admit the real reason she broke things off, but the catering contract for the carnival means big business for Mac’s, and feeding people is Jules’s lifeblood.

As Blake and Jules join reluctant forces, they quickly rediscover the spark between them. But the possibility of a future together hinges on coming clean about the past, with potentially devastating consequences. Can Blake and Jules overcome their drastically different backgrounds and learn to love again, or will they always be outside the lines?

*                 *                 *                 *                *

Jules Shaw has a troubled past. She grew up without the benefit of a loving family having been hustled from foster home to foster home. While still a teen, she was forced to drop out of school to get a job in order to support herself. While working at the local university, she met and fell in love with a young pre-med student. Life was good until it was time for him to go to the city for med school. He wanted her to go with him but his mother quickly intervened. Jules did what she believed was the best thing for the man she loved - she left.

Blake Fischer has never forgotten the girl he loved and lost. Left with only a note saying she was leaving and no explanation as to why, he’s now back in Brentsville and working as a doctor at the hospital. When he accepts a position as coordinator for a fundraising event, his heart is slammed hard when Jules Shaw, the woman he’s never stopped loving and never gotten over, turns out to be the caterer and project planner of the event.

Working together on the event throws these second chance lovers back into the sexual tension mix. Jules is terrified she’ll fall in love with Blake all over again and Blake wants to win her back, but first he needs answers and some honesty.

OUTSIDE THE LINES by Kimberly Kincaid is an excellent continuation of the series, and Blake and Jules are meant for each other. We met both these wonderful people in the second novella of the series, DRAWING THE LINE. Jules is Serenity’s best friend and second in command at Mac’s Diner and Blake is the handsome doctor that took care of Serenity after she was banged on the head by the bad guy.

I adore second chance romances and this one is exceptional. This couple fights their own desires, their own pasts, the memory of their happy past together that ended in heartache, while being cheered on by the greatest of characters – Blake’s cousin, Aaron. He is a hoot. Kimberly hooked me again with her spontaneity, her integration of food as a memory teaser and seduction tool, and the reinforcement that when two people are meant to be together even the wickedest of family can be convinced that it’s what’s meant to be. She even gave me some tearful moments - nothing like falling in love a second time.

I highly recommend OUTSIDE THE LINES by Kimberly Kincaid to everyone who has already read the first two novellas in this series as well as to anyone who hasn’t. If you love second chance romances, you will love OUTSIDE THE LINES by Kimberly Kincaid starring a generous and kind-hearted food connoisseur, and a sexy doctor who will have you thinking up reasons to visit an emergency room to see if there’s one available for you. Oh, and be sure to check out the yummy recipe at the end. To die for!

Happy Reading Everyone!
