Visits to Petal: ALONE TIME by LAUREN DANE

Releasing September 4 as bonus material at the end of the ONCE AND AGAIN print book and as a free story at the Samhain website…
Funny how much had changed in the last seven years or so. He’d gone from a jaded, bitter man to a husband. To a father. Love had changed his entire universe. Not just the love he’d found with Cassie, but the love each of his brothers had found with their wives as well. His life was awash with nieces and nephews, with birthdays, and now that Nicholas, Maggie and Kyle’s oldest, had started little kickers, soccer games on the weekends.
It was a good life. The life he knew down to his toes that he was supposed to be leading. And he was grateful.
Tonight though, he and his brothers had dates with their wives for a big open-air barbecue and dance down at the Grange Hall. And his parents’ house would be filled with the next generation of Chases.
Yes, a date with his gorgeous wife, followed by some loud, blow-the-doors-off sex when they escaped early and in the morning too if he continued to be lucky.
Ward saw his cousins and nearly sprinted into the large living room his mother had turned into a wonderland for the ten-and-under set. Edward, chuckling, watched the retreat of his wife, and they both smiled at the sound of Polly Chase announcing cookies and milk while she read them all a story.
“Does your momma good to have all her grandbabies here. Not that I’m complaining, mind you. I happen to be the luckiest grandpa around. That and your momma is sexy when she’s babying all those Chases.”
One lucky winner chosen from the comments will get a digital ARC (PDF) of ALONE TIME Winner announced in the next Monday Winners Post.

It’s been a while since I last read the Chase books, so I probably should give them a reread before the new one is released. Would be a good idea to offer a family tree with the next book so we don’t lose track of the clan. 🙂

The Chase brother’s were my first foray into the world’s of Lauren Dane. I started in print and then I found DIGITAL and oh the backlist bliss I found at EC. I guess this means I can blame you for my obsession with very hot romance…Thanks!

love the Chase Brothers – hoping we will get the backstory on Edward and Polly.

I love what you are doing with these and how you are doing them–separate, not cluttering new stories with too much backstory/info dump. Kudos, Lauren.

The Chase family is what inspired me to send my first letter to an author of something other than children’s books. I told you the only problem was there needed to be at least one more brother because I didn’t want it to end. I love that we’re going back to visit that family I love so much.

The Chase family is so awesome.

They sound like a great family, playing together, loving together!

Sounds like a nice family.

I love the Chase family! The Chase brothers were my first Lauren Dane books, but definitely not my last! I think the Lauren Dane collection on my Kindle may be the biggest, in fact. I love to catch up with “old friends” and am looking forward to reading this.

I read the first couple of lines and then had to force myself away. I will be reading it for sure and don’t want any preconceived notions!
