The only time she trusted someone with her heart, she was just a girl; he betrayed her and left her humiliated. Since then, Lorali Bennett has let that moment in time dictate her life.
Ian Hale, sexy as sin business mogul, has never had more than a passing interest in any particular woman, until a chance encounter with Lorali, leaves a lasting mark on him.
Their fast paced romance is one for the record books, but what will happen when Ian’s secrets come to light? Especially when those secrets will cost her everything she spent years trying to rebuild.
This is a standalone contemporary novel. The next book in the Hale series is Alexa and Garrett’s story: Begging for Hale.
Recommended for readers 18 and up due to strong language and explicit sexual content.
Holy. Hot. Sex. On. A. Stick. Coming To Hale was one smoking hot read. I’m not going to even try to lie. I went searching for my husband the second I finished
reading, and thank god the kids were asleep because if I would have had to wait
I am not sure I would have survived. Can
you die from being horny? I’m not sure
but I wasn’t taking the chance.
You never know when you will meet or possibly just see the
one person who will ignite your heart or soul.
You can meet when you are children, or in college or at a laundry mat. Cupid’s arrow doesn’t discriminate when love
strikes and why would it? The chemistry
between Ian and Lorali was explosive.
Lorali had been hurt by her ex-boyfriend but that didn’t stop Ian, he
kept at it and wasn’t going to give up.
I think I found a new book boyfriend and his name is Ian! I just really liked everything about this
book, there isn’t one thing that I can easily say didn’t work for me. I loved the sexiness, the humor, just
everything!
I hit ARC gold with Coming To Hale, I had just had another
run of bad luck reading and went in with the mindset of this will probably be
another one of those meh books for me, but I was blown away. For a debut , this one is damn good, it shows
the talent that this new author has and, I for one will be keeping an eye on
Ms. James and her books because I have a feeling that Coming To Hale is just a
hint of what she can do. I want the next
book right away, so Ms. James if you are reading this you can just go ahead and
sent it my way, I won’t tell ;)
I can feel every soft inch of her body, a sharp contrast to my hard muscles. Her eyes are no longer hooded; they stare up at me with…anticipation? No. Fear. She’s afraid of me. Too aggressive Ian, take it down a notch.
“Don’t,” I command.
“Don’t what?” she whispers, her voice trembling
“Be so disrespectful of yourself.” I tell her.
“Just stating the obvious.” Her eyes are turning from fear to more of annoyance. Lorali my feisty girl!
I gaze down at her, fighting a losing battle, knowing I have to taste her or I’d not make it through the night.
“I think the only thing obvious about this situation is how much I want you,” I say, bending my head down to whisper in her ear. “My body is aching for you, Lorali. I want you so bad.”
“I think you’re playing some sort of game, and frankly I don’t appreciate being the object of it,” she huffs, stiffening her spine and glaring back at me.
“I can assure you this is no game for me, Lorali, although you do seem to take pleasure in denying me.” It’s my turn to grow frustrated at her. Who does she think she is putting words in my mouth, questioning my intentions?
“It’s a game to you. Find the most common person here; seduce her, then walk away, all the while laughing about how you were able to get some commoner so hot she’d drop her panties for you. You don’t want me; you want the thrill of the power that it gives you.” The irritated look on her face is increasing my annoyance.
“I don’t want you? Tell that to my cock,” I growl as I grind my erection against her.
She doesn’t even know me, how does she have such a distorted opinion of me? It may take some time, but I’ll show her that I’m not some sort of womanizer. I bend my head down further, breathing in her scent. Mmm. Lavender. Not able to deny myself a second longer, I brush my lips down the column of her neck, pausing briefly over her pulse point. I can hear her sharp intake of breath.
I pull my head back and focus on her beautiful, pouty lips, only briefly denying myself the exquisite way I know she’ll feel and how sweet her lips will taste. Having waited as long I can, I lean in, fully ready to take her mouth, simultaneously trying to talk myself down as to avoid attacking her like a rabid animal. I brush my lips against hers, using every ounce of restraint in my body.
“Stop,” she whispers, her breath ghosting against my lips.
“I can’t,” I growl as I crush my lips against hers.

I've always wanted to write novels and just recently had the gumption to sit down and start one. My passions include reading everything under the sun and sewing. I even listen to audio books while sewing. Coming to Hale is my debut novel and book 1 in the 4 book Hale Series. I have several other story lines worked out for other books once this series is complete. Reading and writing is my happy place. Hope you enjoy my debut novel.
