Description

Recently dumped by the man she’d planned to marry, no-nonsense attorney Thea Dunn has returned home to Magnolia Bay to mend her broken heart. But when she learns her new neighbor is Calder Frye, the bad boy who sets the pulse of every good girl at Magnolia Bay High racing, Thea’s verdict to swear off men is in danger of being overturned…

Fourteen years after graduation, Calder has traded his rebel lifestyle to become an ER doctor—but his sex appeal is every bit as powerful as Thea remembers. Could her short-term residence be the perfect chance to live out a teenage fantasy? Or could their reunion be a chance for something more?

Recently dumped by the man she’d planned to marry, no-nonsense attorney Thea Dunn has returned home to Magnolia Bay to mend her broken heart. But when she learns her new neighbor is Calder Frye...


A Note From the Publisher

Erika Marks is a women’s fiction writer and the author of Little Gale Gumbo, The Mermaid Collector, The Guest House and It Comes In Waves (July, 2014). On the long and winding road to becoming published, she worked many different jobs, including carpenter, cake decorator, art director, and illustrator. But if pressed, she might say it was her brief tenure with a match-making service in Los Angeles after college that set her on the path to writing love stories (not that there isn’t romance in frosting or power tools!) A native New Englander, she now makes her home in Charlotte, NC, with her husband, a native New Orleanian who has taught her to make a wicked gumbo, and their two little mermaids.

Sweet southern romance that has two kids who came together on prom night but haven seen each other for 14years. Circumstances put them next door to each other. It is like fate put them together. Will they be able to finally get together?

I love Calder, "it was all he could do not to grab her and kiss the hell out of that gorgeous mouth." He sure knows how to woo a girl, "Calder stood there, holding a pint of strawberries and wearing a sheepish smile. "My dad suggested I bring a whole flat but I told him I thought that might be a little much. Then again, it did work for him." I thought this was a cute story and I enjoyed reading Calder and Thea's adventure.

Pick Me is an enjoyable story about second chances and appreciating family and friends. This is perfect for someone looking for a few laughs along the way to the happy ending.

Cute. Easy. Engaging. I loved the second chance aspect of this story. Kind of "relationship interrupted". The sweet re-awakening coupled with that "back of your mind" (dulled by years) yearning. Enjoyed both their journey to love and their growth as people/friends/family. Enjoyable tension and banter.

There are not many books that keep me smiling from beginning to end, but this one certainly did. It was perfect! I loved this story. It was the sweetest. Truly. To be so short, it was terribly complete, lacking nothing. I got my romance, my conflict, my family drama, my "C'mon you guys, get a clue!" scenario, and my happily ever after. Excellent!

A complimentary e-copy was made available for review by the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

Thea was the town's most popular girl, Calder was the mysterious bad boy; their senior year of high school they both have one incredible night. They talk they hang and they share hopes and dreams.

22632898Fourteen years later, Calder is a successful doctor and Thea a successful lawyer; when fate brings them together again, these two have a chance at love.

Calder could never forget Thea and Thea could never forget Calder, to them it was a great dream. Now they have a shot, but life just keeps getting in the way and these two don't know how to deal with it.

The story is sweet, its about second chances. My favorite scene was the bucket of strawberries; who needs flowers when strawberries are so much better.

Although this was a quick read, it was fun and the story moved smoothly. I enjoyed the idea about getting a second chance on a missed opportunity. I felt that Marks did a wonderful job of in a short read. I would love to read more of her stuff in the future.
