The Green-Eyed Doll
The Last Execution
by Jerrie Alexander
Release Date: June 7th, 2013
Blurb:
To survive, she must put the past behind her. To love, she must
learn to trust.
Scarred both physically and emotionally, Special Agent J. T. Noble
is a man of few words. He prefers to keep people at a distance—until he meets
Leigh. He's attracted to her strength and drawn in by her secrecy. But in their
line of work, secrets can be deadly.
When the killer they are hunting aims his vigilante justice at
Leigh's past assailant, the fine line between right and wrong blurs. To heal
the past—and find their future together—Leigh and J. T. must learn that only
through trust and forgiveness can love grow.
Excerpt:
The six-year-old missile launched himself into
the air, giving J.T. two choices. Catch the kid, or let him fall to the ground
like a deflated football. J.T. grabbed him and held Ethan out in front, as he
would a wet, smelly dog.
Leigh
jogged down the sidewalk, sparks flashing from her eyes. She pulled her son out
of J.T.’s grasp and plopped the kid down at her feet. She knelt and got right
in his face. J.T. made a mental note to not piss her off.
“What
have I told you about running out the door?”
Ethan’s
head bowed. “Don’t even think about it.” He stared at the tops of his bare
feet.
“Obviously,
you didn’t listen.” She tugged the knot at the back of her head tighter before
she looked up. “Sorry about the attack.”
“Please.” She waved a hand toward the wide-open front door. “We were about to come and get you."
“You knew I was here?”
“A black Corvette rumbling around in our neighborhood doesn’t go unnoticed.”
Dressed
in blue jean shorts and a thin-strapped top exactly the same blue as her eyes,
Leigh looked more like a model than a mom. J.T. was glad he’d worn a T-shirt and
Wranglers.
His
chest double-clutched and pulled a weird stutter step when a small hand gripped
two of his fingers and two small feet shuffled hurriedly to keep up with him.
Tonight was a mistake.
A student of creative writing in her youth, Jerrie set
aside her passion when life presented her with a John Wayne husband, and two
wonderful children. A career in
logistics offered her the opportunity to travel to many beautiful locations in
America, and she revisits them in her romantic suspense novels.
But the characters went with
her, talked to her, and insisted she share their dark, sexy stories with
others. She writes alpha males and
kick-ass women who weave their way through death and fear to emerge stronger
because of, and on occasion in spite of, their love for each other. She likes to torture people, make them
suffer, and if they’re strong enough, they live happily ever after.
he author of THE GREEN-EYED DOLL, and THE LAST
EXECUTION, Jerrie and her husband live in Texas. She loves sunshine, children’s
laughter, sugar (human and granulated), and researching for her heroes and
heroines.
Review:
The Last Execution was a fantastic story. Full of suspense, drama, romance, & the most adorably written little boy who has a huge part in this story. There is the usual trust issues between the H & H, romance, and a vgilante killer, who, even though you may not want to, you could find yourself actually liking just a little bit.

ReplyDeleteHey Chrissy!! *waves back* Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteHey, Jerrie. Yes, Chrissy. Everything Jerrie writes is a great read, even her short story, and I'm not a particular fan of those. LOL I especially love your books, and THE LAST EXECUTION is a dynamite story. I've got DOLL, so don't need to be in the contest. That just makes it easier for someone else to win!
ReplyDeleteMarsha, thanks for the kind words! I'm thrilled you like the books. Thanks for your support.
DeleteWhat a fantastic excerpt! I've read The Last Execution and The Green-Eyed Doll from this author and she's now on my auto buy list. Did I hear she has a novella out?
ReplyDeleteHi Barb. And thank you. The new book is a short story a tad shorter than a novella. Thanks for commenting.
