Hard (Sexy Bastard #1)



I think it is almost easier to write a book than to find the words to thank people for the support and help they have given along the way on an adventure like this. First off, I want to thank my kids who really have only seen the back of my head at my computer and the drive thru of fast food restaurants over the past several months. Soon, you will have back my undivided attention. Second to my amazing husband, who without his encouragement I wouldn’t have taken on this endeavor. Thank for being my sounding board and proving to me some positions really can’t work!

To my circle of girlfriends who were excited for me and offered me words of encouragement when I told them what I was doing. You have no idea how much all of your support means to me. To Jen McCoy at The Literary Gossip who was one of the first people to pick up the ARC and give me countless pointers and advice on things, you helped me make this a better story. To Aussie-Lisa Sleiman, also at The Literary Gossip, thank you for being my grammar policewoman! To Candi Cane Sheri at Dirty Laundry Reviews, your private messages about Ryder and his sexiness made me laugh out loud…thank you for taking on chance on my book! Kendra Needs….you picked up my first teaser and have pimped it daily and tirelessly….you did not know me, but decided to take a liking to me and your support has been invaluable. From the bottom of my heart THANK YOU. Cherie…my BFF, for always reminding me to Shine Bright Like a Diamond. Kylie at Give Me Books, I am not sure there are greener newbie authors out there, but thank you for not laughing at all of my silly questions and taking the time to answer each one of them…with a lot of patience. For all the bloggers and reviewers who took the time to sign up for the tour and read my ARC, I love you for it! And lastly…to Roxy Sloane, you are the greatest mentor I could ask for. Your friendship and support has made this journey a much easier one with you holding my hand….thank you. I know it is cliché to say I couldn’t have done this without all of your support, but honestly, I couldn’t have. Xoxo, ej
