We are so excited to bring you the Release Week Blitz for Kristen Proby's EASY CHARM! EASY CHARM is a Contemporary Erotic Romance novel and is the 2nd book in The Boudreaux Series. It is due to be released on July 7, 2015!
Gabrielle Boudreaux, the youngest of the Boudreaux clan, is a single
mother of her young son, Sam. Running a Bed and Breakfast at the family
plantation house at the edge of the Mississippi River, Gabby loves her
inn, her boy and her family. She meets new people every day, and takes
pride in the house and land that has been in her family for more than
five generations. Blessed beyond measure, she’s also lonely, although
she would never admit that to anyone. Until Rhys O’Shaughnessy walks
through her door, brooding and wounded and the sexiest thing she’s ever
laid eyes on.
Rhys has been at the top of his game as a major league pitcher for the
Chicago Cubs for more than ten years. Baseball is in his blood. But when
he tears his rotator cuff and has to sit a season out, he retreats to
Inn Boudreaux at the recommendation of his cousin, Kate, to heal and
work toward building his shoulder back to perfect shape with only one
goal in mind: to return to the game he loves. But he didn’t plan on
being utterly charmed by a devastatingly beautiful woman and her
baseball-loving son.
When Rhys’ shoulder has healed and he’s given the chance to return to
his team, will he leave the family he’s come to love behind, or will he
stay with Gabby and Sam?

Excerpt
“Good,
but you should have called me,” Eli says, then sighs when Rhys kisses my hand.
“Are you going to continue to touch my sister for all of us to see?”
“Yes,”
Rhys replies simply, making Kate grin.
“I’m
not sure how I feel about this,” Eli says.
“You
don’t have to feel any way about it,” I reply in frustration. “I’m a grown-ass
woman.”
“It’s
my job to protect you,” Eli says, as if I’m being difficult.
“But
it’s not your job to be an ass,” Kate says, but softens the blow by kissing his
cheek. “It’s Rhys. You know him. And they’re cute together.”
“Hurt
her, and—”
“Seriously,”
I interrupt, not wanting to hear the hurt
her and I’ll kill you speech. “We’re fine.”
“I get
it,” Rhys says to Eli. “I feel the same about Kate; you know that. We’ve had
that conversation. I almost decked you when you showed up in Denver.”
Eli
sits back in his chair, and his eyes calm a bit, but he looks no less
foreboding.
“Don’t
make me regret trusting you,” Eli says calmly, just as our meals are delivered.
“Back
at you,” Rhys replies with a cold smile. Kate catches my eye, and we both sigh,
and shrug as if to say, what can you do?
They love us. They’re worried about us.
Damn
it, sometimes they’re idiots.
But
lunch is delicious.
“Beau
said this morning that you need a new dishwasher,” Eli says.
“I do.
I’ll find time to pick one out in the next few days.”
“Just
come to the office with me after lunch and sign off on one, and I’ll have it
delivered. It’s your inn, but damn it, we can help with that shit. You’re busy
enough.”
“Too
busy,” Kate agrees.
“I
think I’m going to hire some help,” I reply. “Rhys might have talked me into
it.”
Eli’s
eyebrow shoots up in surprise. “We’ve been trying to talk you into it for over
a year.”
“I
didn’t need it a year ago.” I shrug and twirl a long string of cheese around my
fork. “But I’m much busier now, and Sam is getting more involved in things, so
it’s time to have some help.”
“I’ll
take care of it,” Eli says, as if there is no room for argument, and I simply
laugh at him.
“No,
you won’t.”
“Gabby,
I have a whole HR staff that can easily find someone qualified to help you.”
“I’m
perfectly capable of finding someone to help me,” I reply. “You run your
business, and I’ll run mine, big brother.”
He
sits back in his hair and tilts his handsome head, watching me. “Okay. You
handle it.”
“I
will.” I nod once and sip my Coke. “I wonder if I should specify in the ad that
felons aren’t welcome to apply.”
“Gabby,
let me handle this!” Eli exclaims, and I can’t help but dissolve in a fit of
giggles.
“I’m
teasing. It sure is fun to get you all riled up.”
“Most
wouldn’t dare,” Kate says good-naturedly. “I wonder what people would say if
they knew that he’s nothing but a big softie.”
“I
will take you over my knee, Kate,” he murmurs to her, and Rhys tenses up beside
me, but Kate just laughs and leans her head on Eli’s shoulder.
“Right.
Except you have this thing against spanking me, so I don’t think that’ll happen.”
Eli’s
lips twitch as he buries them in Kate’s hair and kisses her head.
“I
don’t mind being spanked,” I add and eat a chip loaded with cheese and beans,
just as Eli’s eyes go cold again, pinned on Rhys, who simply laughs beside me.
“I
don’t need to know this,” Eli growls.
“It’s
not like he leaves marks. Well, they don’t stay for long.”
Kate
is laughing like a loon into her hand, Rhys is smiling widely, and Eli looks
like he’s about to spit nails.
Or spank me himself.
And don’t forget to grab the first book in the Boudreaux Series!
