There’s
a crush, and then there are the type of feelings that Croft Cruisie evokes from
a person.
He’s
everything that any straight woman would want: tall, handsome, charismatic,
muscular, and sweet.
At
least, Carmichael thought he was sweet, until he brings another woman to the
gym she owns with her brother, on the night that’s to be their first date, and
lets her know in a quick and painful, non-verbal way that her feelings are not
reciprocated.
Fast
forward six months, and she’s still trying to move on from the rejection.
It
doesn’t help that the jerk moves in next door to her, and that she has to see
him workout shirtless every single day.
How
can a woman get over a silly crush when that silly crush won’t so much as give
her room to breathe?
***
Croft
doesn’t know what happened.
One
day he was supposed to go on a date with the girl that wouldn’t leave his
thoughts for even a second, and the next she’s avoiding him like the plague.
No
matter how hard he tries—and admittedly, it isn’t all that hard due to the
biggest case of his career taking over his life—he can’t get her to tell him
what he did wrong. She refuses to give him a second chance.
At
least, not until he’s nearly killed in front of the courthouse, that is.
The
moment he sees his chance, he pounces. Or, more literally, he limps.
But
the limping is what draws Carmichael in. The Southern charm that was instilled
in him since birth will be what gets her to stay.
That’s
his plan, anyway.
Funny
thing about plans… they never seem to work out how you expect them to.
Quit Bein’ Ugly is the third and final title in the Southern Gentleman series
featuring Croft Cruisie and Carmichael Stone.
If you’ve read the previous titles in the series you will be familiar with
these characters as Carmichael is the sister of Flint Stone from Lord Have
Mercy, and Croft is Flint’s best friend and the sister of Raleigh who featured
in Hissy Fit.
Carmichael is a endearing heroine.
She’s a teacher and cross fit trainer, who is incredibly hard working
and independent. Despite the fact that
she is sweet and strong, she also can hold a grudge.
Croft is charming, intelligent, sweet and sexy, but also completely
oblivious to what’s going on around him at times, particularly to the wiles of
other women.
Croft and Carmichael’s story is a sweet and fun story, whilst also suspenseful. Their banter is witty and humorous and the chemistry
between them undeniable.
Characters from the previous titles feature throughout and most of them
have big personalities that makes for an engaging and entertaining read.
I highly recommend this series, and look forward to the spin off cross
fit series coming next year.

FIT: The Southern Gentleman Series, Book 1
He
is the one that never looks her way.

He
is rough around the edges and mean.
He
is everything she’s ever wanted.
He
doesn’t even know she exists.
Her
life is a joke.
***
She
doesn’t step on cracks in the sidewalk.
She
laughs at inappropriate times.
She
talks when she shouldn’t.
She
is clumsy and trips on air.
She
is finally on his radar.
God
help her now.

LORD
HAVE MERCY: The Southern Gentleman Series, Book 2
Poor
judgment: knowing better yet doing it anyway.
Flint
Stone is a professional in every way.
He’s
a police officer with the K-9 unit and works at Gun Barrel High as the school
resource officer. In his spare time, he’s working his heart out to create a
successful gym from the ground up.
He’s
loved by every single person he ever encounters—student, faculty, and
employees—Everyone but Camryn Elvis Presley.
The
only thing they have in common is their mothers’ poor excuses for names.
Period.
The end.
So
why is it every time she crosses his path that he has the urge to mess up her
perfectly curled hair? Or unbutton a few of her prim and proper buttons?
He
knows he should stay away, yet like the high schoolers he’s around every day,
he has no choice but to react first and think about the consequences later.
Side
note—bad decisions are made, leading to lapses in judgment that threaten both
of their jobs. Yet when the time comes, neither one can seem to find the
wherewithal to care. Why? Because being bad feels so good.
