This week I'm featuring The Summer Heat by +Elodie Parkes. I'm almost done with this and my review is coming up shortly.
Here's the opener
“Watch
out, Nate. That thing’s lethal.” Evan burst out laughing as the chainsaw blade
bounced
off the tree stump and onto the grass, forcing his friend to cling on tight to
the handle.
“Fucking
thing has a mind of its own.” Nate turned the chainsaw off and laid it down on the
gravel path. “I reckon the trunk’s short enough now to dig the roots out.” He
picked up a spade that leaned against a neighboring tree.
Evan
grinned. “Maybe we need to take the two remaining branches off.” He ran a hand over
his forehead and took off the clear framed, safety glasses he wore. After tossing
them down on the grass, he pulled off his T-shirt. Sweat trickled down between
his muscled shoulders, and he wiped the back of his neck with his shirt, a
frown creasing his forehead. “It’s already hot. Let’s get this finished.” He strode
around Nate to the path, and retrieved the chainsaw. Within a few moments, the
tree stump stood devoid of the remaining branches.
Nate
shook his head at Evan. “You should be wearing the glasses and the gloves I gave
you.”
Evan
grunted. “It’s done. Don’t fuss.”
Nate
grinned broadly at his friend’s gung-ho dismissal. “Hey, it’s not fussing. A
flying sharp splinter could take your eye out.”
Evan’s
returning grin held affection. “Yeah, I know, I just wanted it done.”
Here's the teaser
"I
got a date with Annabel.” Nate grinned and gave Evan a friendly punch on the
arm.
Evan’s
voice betrayed his disappointment. “No. Hell, Nate, I was just about to ask her
out to dinner. You know how much I like her.”
~ page 22. ePub, The Summer Heat by Elodie Parkes.
Here's the blurb
When lifelong friends Nate and Evan watch
the arrival of a new neighbor, they never expect to find their friendship
rocked by the lovely Annabel
As they all grow close, will she be
forced to choose between these gorgeous men?
What about you? What are you reading? Leave me a comment and I'll return your visit shortly.
Have a great week.

A love triangle and best friends. Not good. I hope she doesn't play them off each other.

Judging from the book's cover, it looks like she didn't have to choose between them. Sounds like a sexy story.
