Jay Reynolds has a crush on his project leader at work, but an office romance with Peter Morgan isn't likely to happen since Peter is straight. Thank you for hosting me on your blog today Anne! I appreciate the warm welcome! And I love them! They provide a foundation in a sense for the characters from my first book… and yes, the characters you’ll meet in the third book. Jay and Peter have been in my head for so long, I feel as though I know them very well. Some things are left to faith and to chance. At one point later in the story, Jay realizes he may never know or understand everything about Peter. I’m greedy that way! The voyeur in me wants to know about the small ways we tend to overthink and assume we understand what we later have to admit may not be so clear. I want my Happy Ever After, but I also want to be a part of the action from the start. How characters interact is what always interests the reader in me. Especially when he knows he’s falling for his gorgeous boss. He tells Jay he isn’t “boyfriend material” but Jay knows “friends with benefits” isn’t a title he’s going to be fine with for long. Jay is easy going with an open friendly nature while Peter is intense, driven and extremely private. When Peter admits he feels the same, things get fun but they also get complicated.

Jay is forced to concede he may have misread Peter all along, which makes it difficult to hide the fact he’s still wildly attracted to him. Peter is not only difficult to work for but Jay is sure he’s homophobic as well. However, the long hours, stress and pressure soon turn his infatuation upside down.

When Jay first meets Peter, he’s excited to be working with the guy he’s had a major office crush on for a couple of years. (I’m particular about those things as a reader!) I’m so thrilled that readers seem to relate on some level to Jay and Peter’s story, which deals with the very real issue of communication between co-workers, friends and lovers. Anne_barwellA big welcome to fellow Dreamspinner author Lane Hayes today.īetter Than Chance was just released a couple of days ago and I’m over the moon with the response so far! This is the second book in the Better Than series, but don’t worry if you haven’t read the first.
