From #1 NYT Bestseller Lauren Blakely comes a sexy, forbidden MM romance novella about a rock star and a bodyguard!<\/b>
\nThere’s one thing I need in my life right now and one thing only — a new job.
\nSo I’m stoked when I land a dream gig as a bodyguard for a rock star.
\nBut there’s definitely one thing I do not need at all — a complication.
\nLike being wildly attracted to the guy who just hired me.
\nSo I vow to do everything I can to deny the intense attraction for the man I’m sworn to protect.
\nAll I have to do is ignore it. Eventually it’ll go away, right?
\nBut that’s not what happens one night after a concert…<\/p>\n

MAYBE THIS TIME is a 14,000-word prequel novella about how Stone and Jackson meet and it leads into their full-length novel ONE TIME ONLY. You don’t have to read MAYBE THIS TIME to enjoy ONE TIME ONLY, but you’ll likely enjoy this story before the story! <\/b><\/p>\n

Review<\/strong><\/h4>\n

4.5 sizzling stars!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jackson is a bodyguard hoping to take a job with rock star Stone Zenith. \u00a0He has done his research and is ready to impress Stone with his knowledge, strength and skill. What he is not ready for is the extreme attraction he feels towards Stone the moment they meet. Little does he know that Stone is also harboring hidden feelings. Try as they may to keep things professional, its only a matter of time before these two combust.<\/p>\n

Maybe This Time<\/em>\u00a0is a sexually charged forbidden romance that is just the beginning of Jackson and Stone’s smoking hot romance. There is the perfect blend of humor and heat and I loved their connection. They get along well and enjoy each others company but the chemistry is sizzling and the sexual tension is so thick you can cut it with a knife. They know a relationship is off limits but sometimes the attraction is too hard to resist…<\/p>\n

Overall,\u00a0Maybe This Time <\/em>is such a great novella. It\u00a0is the perfect lead-in to\u00a0One Time Only<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0I can’t wait to see how everything plays out!<\/p>\n
