Welcome to the Wednesday’s Favorites post. In the Wednesday’s
Favorites post I will talk about a book I loved and that I think deserves a
little more attention. I read popular books, but also many books that aren’t so
popular (yet). In this post all sorts of books from all sorts of genre’s will have
a chance to shine. Today’s Wednesday’s Favorites is ‘Hard Time’ by Cara McKenna, a book I read in November 2014.
The Book:
My pounding heart went still, eerie as birds fallensilent in the wake of a gunshot.
He was big. Tall frame, wide shoulders-but not burly. His near-black hair was
due for a cut, curling under his ears. Dark brows, dark stubble, dark lashes
and eyes.
And he was handsome. So handsome it broke your heart.
A deck of cards was split between his hands, paused midshuffle. Some of the men
wore navy scrub tops and bottoms, some navy tee shirts, a few white
undershirts. This man wore a tee, with COUSINS stenciled on the front, above
the number 802267. Those digits imprinted on my brain, burned black as a brand.
He watched me. But not the way the others did. If he was trying to picture me
naked, his poker face was strong, though his attention anything but subtle. His
entire head moved as I passed through his domain, but his eyes were languorous.
Lazy and half-lidded, yet intense. A hundred looks in one. I didn’t like it.
Couldn’t read it. At least with the horny jerk-offs, I knew where I stood.
I wondered what the worst thing you could do and still only get sent to a
medium-security prison was. I hoped not to ever learn the answer.
And I hoped to heaven inmate 802267 hadn’t signed up for any of the day’s
programs.

Cara McKenna.
really sexy, emotional and addictive story to read and I really did love it.
definitely going on my favorite list. I loved how Annie and Eric met and how
they found each other against all odds. I loved their struggles and their
fights, but most of all I loved reading about their love for each other.
About the Author:
Cara McKenna writes smart erotica – sexy stories withdepth. A little dark, a little funny, always emotional. She also writes red-hot
romance under the name Meg Maguire. She loves writing sexy, character-driven
stories about strong-willed men and women who keep each other on their toes,
and bring one another to their knees.
Before becoming a purveyor of red-hot
romance and smart erotica,
Cara was a record store bitch, a lousy barista, a
decent designer and an over-enthusiastic penguin handler. Cara now writes
full-time and lives north of Boston with her bearded husband. When she’s not
trapped in her own head she can usually be found in the kitchen, the coffee
shop or jogging around the nearest duck-filled pond.
