 Blane Kirk is a
Navy SEAL turned high-powered attorney with old money and an even older
pedigree. Yes, he plays the field, changing women as often as he changes his
ties, but they’re not complaining. He has only two rules – 1) Don’t date
employees and 2) Don’t get emotionally involved. Those rules have served him
well. He sees no reason to change his ways, until his Runner, an employee in
his law firm named Kathleen Turner, does an unexpected face plant in his
lap.Kathleen’s too young, too innocent, and suddenly much too vulnerable when
her friend is murdered and Blane knows she could be next. Keeping her alive
means keeping her close, but can Blane keep her safe...from him? Kathleen’s
like no woman he’s ever met, and protecting her could be the one thing he never
expected that would make his life turn on a dime.
TURN ON A DIME – BLANE’S TURN is a companion novel to NO TURNING
BACK, Book One in The Kathleen Turner Series.
TURN ON A DIME – KADE’S TURN will be released in the Fall of 2013.

Excerpt:
He knocked on Kathleen’s door, waiting impatiently for her
to answer. His skin was practically twitching at the idea that she wasn’t safe.
It was with relief that he saw the door open and she stood there, unhurt.
Kathleen didn’t say anything, just stepped back so Blane
could enter. He could tell at once she was in shock. Her face was stark white,
her eyes barely seeming to focus on anything.
Blane took her arm and led her to the battered couch,
sitting next to her and taking her hands in his. They were freezing and fine
tremors shook her, though she seemed wholly unaware of it.
“Your hands are like ice, Kathleen,” Blane said. “Tell me
what happened.” He gently rubbed her hands, trying to ground her before she
recounted her tale. Blane had lost count of the times he’d done this with
family members and friends of victims of a violent crime. Their reactions were
almost always the same. Shock, horror, fear, grief.
She looked up, her eyes wide. Haltingly, she spoke.
“I was asleep. Something woke me. I heard arguing. I thought
it was Sheila and her boyfriend, Mark. Then it stopped.
“I couldn’t go back to sleep. I was worried about her. So I
got up and went over to her place.”
Tears started slipping down her cheeks, tracks that spilled
from eyes made even more brilliant blue from the saline. She wasn’t sobbing or
making any noise at all as she told him what happened. She just cried. It was
like a punch to Blane’s gut, and he was forcefully reminded of the supposed
power of a woman’s tears over the opposite gender. He’d always thought himself
immune.
Guess not.
*********************************************
If any of you guys have read my past reviews of The
Kathleen Turner Series, then you know that I am a huge fan! Turn on a Dime is told from Blane’s POV
and is the companion novel to the first book, so reading the first book in the
series is a must.
Blane has always seemed distant, never willing to completely
trust someone and so quick to believe he will be betrayed. He has a lot of
appeal though, and it’s so easy to see why Kathleen falls for him. But I am not
completely convinced he deserves her. Even though I am Team Kade, it was still
nice to find out more about Blane. To see more of his past and how it shaped
his present.
This story is a quick read, but very enjoyable. It definitely
wet my appetite for Kade’s story and for book four, Out of Turn which releases on December 17, 2013. Four months is too
long of a wait for me, but I know (really, really hope) that it will be hear
before I know it!
About the Author
As for me, I've been reading romance novels since I was way too
young to read such things, have an unhealthy obsession for all things Doctor
Who, prefer Pepsi to Coke and Absolut to both, think men who drink girly
cocktails are wusses, have learned to never stop believing in my beloved St.
Louis Cardinals, and can recite the entire scripts of When Harry Met Sally and
Apollo 13. George Washington is cool, Bon Jovi still rocks the house, and Bruce
Willis is the ultimate alpha-male hero. Most of all, romance never, ever gets
old.
