Dating Impossible:
Focused on her career, Dr. JJ Jones doesn’t have time to date—and she certainly doesn’t want to date the “player” of the ER none other than her girlhood crush, Dr. Cruz Avery. JJ found out the hard way that romantic relationships in the work place don’t mix forcing her to relocate back to Arizona and change jobs. She’s determined to spend her free time enjoying her Harley, reading true-crime novels, and learning about the new community she lives in. Dogged by the gorgeous Dr. Avery with his skillful hands, disarming smile, and hot lips, her resolve wavers. For now, she’s having fun making his mission to date her down right impossible!
EXCERPT:
But damn if she wasn’t all prickly one minute and hot and yummy in his arms the next. His cock hardened and he shifted in his chair. Large almond-shaped green eyes, pink pouty lips, and that sexy belly button ring and tattoos. Cruz shook his head. JJ was definitely a mix of contradictions. She was all innocence and badass rolled into one. And smart.
None of his usual bullshit lines would work with her. So how was he going to get past her no-dating-a-co-worker rule and find out if they had the possibility of a real future together? Christ, she was making this entire dating thing impossible. He rubbed the tense muscles of his neck.
Sex two nights in a row doesn’t mean we are dating. Or in a relationship.
Her words looped over and over against his skull and were the other reason why he couldn’t concentrate on jack-shit today. What he needed was a plan. But what?
He sat up straighter in his leather chair. The kernel of an idea blossomed. What if she didn’t realize they were going out on dates? Yeah, baby. He liked the notion already. But he’d have to tread carefully. JJ was a clever girl. Cruz would just have to be one step ahead of her in order to make his plan work. And once she was hooked on him… He glanced at his reflection in the full-length mirror that hung on the back of his office door and pointed to himself. His lips curved into a perfect smile and he winked.

You make it sound so easy. Guess I’m just used to my daughter’s drama…LOL
After a relationship ends I try to distract myself with other people and activities. I Han out with family and friends and try not to think about the relationship unless I am happy it ended. I do everything in my power not to wallow over a tub of ice cream but it happens sometimes.
Wallowing has it’s usefulness…Ben & Jerry’s chunky monkey has it’s uses! LOL
I always find going out with the girls and having a real good time is an easy way to move on. Strictly no sappy dvds or songs on repeat!! lol.
LOVE the excerpt! HOT HOT HOT
Thanks, Alicia! I hope my son (he’s 17) doesn’t ever read the excerpt…I based Cruz a bit on him because he always points to himself and says, “how can you not love this?” ROFL…
Oooooo! Spicy excerpt!
I think a relationship needs to end when there is no type of individual independence.
That’s a very important point Christine! And that is exactly why I divorced after 22 years of marriage. I’d lost me and my independence!
Hmmm… it’s been a long time since I’ve been in the situation of a relationship ending, but if i remember correctly, there was some crying then drinking, partying, and some rebound ‘fun.’

Ha! Love the “rebound fun”! Bet there a story in there, CR! Thank you for sharing!!
