Guest Post with Kelley Vitollo~Lucky Break


Please welcome one of my friends Kelley Vitollo to the blog. She's going to share a little bit about her debut novel LUCKY BREAK. Take it away Kelley.


I adore stories about best friends falling in love. When I set out to write LUCKY BREAK, I knew that was the kind of story I wanted to tell.

Kade and Sidney were best friends growing up. They were always there for each other until Sidney left without a word after graduation.

Now she’s back in town and Kade isn’t too happy with her, but it’s hard for them not to pick up where they left off.


Blurb:
One lucky break is all struggling actress Sidney Williams needs. But when living the LA life becomes too much, she heads back to the small town of Shamrock Falls for the vacation she needs to get her life on track—and immediately runs into Kade Mitchell, her former best friend and the boy next door she’s always regretted leaving behind.

Kade, the new owner of Lucky’s—once the most popular bar in Shamrock Falls—is determined to bring the place back to its former glory, and seeing Sidney again is a distraction he doesn’t need. Sure, the chemistry between them is explosive, but Kade can’t let himself fall into a fling with his best friend—not when he knows she’s soon heading back to the glitter of Tinseltown. 

Now, with the possibility of her first major acting role looming, Sidney must decide if her lucky break is in Hollywood or right where she left it—in Shamrock Falls.

The follow scene is while they’re working on Lucky’s.

When she went back into the main room, she ran right into Kade’s sweaty chest. “Oh!” Sidney backed
away. Her body hummed as though she still touched him.

“There you are. I thought you were slackin’ on the job.” He winked.

She didn’t know what it was, but she’d always found something incredibly sexy about a guy winking
at a woman. “Please. If I wasn’t here to hold this place together, you’d be in trouble.” Maybe a slight
exaggeration, but still.

“I’m sure the place would be falling down by now.”

He crossed his arms and smirked at her.

Sidney’s heart stumbled. Stop it. Suddenly, smirks were sexy, too. “I was talking to Aunt Mae.”

“How’s she doing?” he asked, and his eyebrows rose in genuine interest.

“Good. Can you believe she’s dating Old Man Watson?”

Kade chuckled. “I’m not sure he goes by that anymore.”

“He was a grump. Remember when you broke his window and he made you work for him?” She loved
these light, unexpected moments when their past fit so well into the present.

“I broke the man’s window. He had a right to be pissed.”

Now she crossed her arms. “It was an accident. He didn’t have to be so mean to you.” Kade didn’t deserve anyone harassing him.

“It is what it is.” Kade shrugged.

There was a smudge of sawdust on his face. Without thinking, Sidney wiped it away with her thumb. “You have a little something on you.” Little was correct— it was hardly noticeable. Oh, God. She was actually looking for excuses to touch the man!

“You just like touching me.”

Her cheeks burned. The playfulness in his tone told her he was joking, but it was a little too close
to him reading her mind for comfort. If he could be nonchalant, though, she could too.

Sidney jerked her hand away when she realized it still rested against his cheek. Oops. “When did you
become such a flirt, Kade Mitchell?”

Another grin. “I always have been. You just never noticed.”

I’m running a contest for a free ebook copy of LUCKY BREAK on my site. Today is the last day to enter. I’m drawing names Monday evening.

  1. I'll have to head over to her site for the giveaway. I missed that one. Then I'd better check Goodreads to see if I added it to my to-read list, because I can't remember.

    Kade is:
    1. A VERY sexy name
