Now THAT'S what I call revealing: Blocked by @JenLaneBooks

I fell in love with both of the leading lady and man. Lucia is so sweet and endearing, completely relatable and huggable, and Dane at first seems like a typical college jock...but then we find out he has a heart as soft as his body is hard.

Jennifer also has some other exciting news---her CONduct series is now available as a boxed set! All three books of this sexy, fun, romantic suspense series set in Chicago for only $4.99.

October 21, 2014
College freshman
Lucia Ramirez has a secret crush on Dane Monroe. He’s a tall drink of water —
blond, brash, and one hell of a volleyball player. Hijole. Lucia hopes her
volleyball scholarship to his school will make him notice her.
Too
bad what’s noticeable is Dane’s obvious hatred for Lucia. Her family’s politics
contradict everything he stands for. And politics are front and center in both
their families. Dane’s mother is about to face Lucia’s father in the race for
US President.
When
Secret Service throws them together, Dane can’t deny his frustrating attraction
to Lucia’s athletic curves and sweet faith in the world. Amid the intense
pressure of college athletics and presidential politics, can opposites not just
attract, but overcome overwhelming odds to be together? Or do their differences
block their match from the start?
