Leather & Lace by Maggie Adams is such a fun read. My regular job is to read for content, not pleasure, but this book is pure pleasure. The way Ms. Adams reveals tidbits of the back-story, but never the entire story had me electronically turning pages to discover what happened to Sam and Angel that brought their young love to such a tortured place.
Leather & Lace is the classic, rich girl who falls for a townie. Her prejudiced father is against the match, but Sam leaves town for the Navy anxious to improve his options and come back and impress Angel, and possibly her father. Something goes wrong along the way making the idealistic Sam turn bitter and cynical. He returns almost fifteen years later to the town where he taunts Angel. Even though he’s no longer the boy, she once knew. Angel still loves him, perhaps even more for the scars and the darkness.
The sass, the dialogue, and steam between the two makes this romance a summer must-read. Make sure to get your hands on this thrilling romance novel.
Sam Coalson, ex-Navy SEAL, has returned to Grafton for the wedding of his brother. After being run out of town fifteen years ago for a crime he didn’t commit, he’s determined to claim what is rightfully his and take on anyone crazy enough to try and stop him.
Angel Devereaux is smart, sexy and definitely on Sam’s blacklist. After siding with Sam’s enemy fifteen years ago, Angel can’t help but wonder what if….what if Sam had never left? What if he could forgive her now? She had her reasons, but he won’t listen. So enough with words, sometimes action is exactly what’s called for.

Excerpt One:
“Well, if it isn’t the Angel of Mercy. Have you come to administer to the weak and injured? I’m afraid you’re a little too late. Everyone’s been patched up. Of course you can always kiss the boo-boos, can’t you?” Sam drawled as he shifted position on the railing.
Angel felt a blush heat her cheeks at his words and started to turn away. This was obviously a mistake. She was getting nowhere with him. She saw him wince as he moved and she turned back. “Were you really hurt?”
“Yeah, I’m in a lot of pain. Do you think you can help me?” he drawled as he passed his hand across his brow.
Angel immediately became solicitous. “Where are you hurt?” She ran up the front porch steps. She looked him over, searching for injury.
“Here.” Sam smiled and pointed to his groin. She could see his erection tenting his jeans. “Still want to help?”
Angel stiffened in outrage. “You bast…”
“Tsk, tsk, tsk. Careful there, Angel baby, you wouldn’t want to tarnish that halo, would you?” He hefted himself off the railing and came to stand next to her.
Hi! I'm Maggie Adams. I live near St. Louis, MO with my high school sweetheart, Ned, and my wonderful kids, Katie (Kyle) and Ross (Valerie).
