Loving Ben by Skye Taylor is a tie-in prequel short to her Camerons of Tide's Way series of f/m contemporary romances set amongst the eponymous family, this one setting up the romance between a future US Marine Corps enlistee and the man she'll love and miss in the field, free courtesy of publisher Bell Bridge Books.
This goes directly with book #2 of the series,
Loving Meg, which deals with the heroine's PTSD-affected return from her military service.
Currently free @
Amazon (available to Canadians & in the
UK). This is a brand-new release, and will no doubt show up in most of the other stores in a few more day's time when the listings finally appear, as BBB have been pretty generous about multi-store freebie-ing their tie-in promo novellas and such.
If it turns out you like this and want to pick up the actual novel it ties into, BBB books are couponable @ Kobo and should be eligible for discounts/rebates at other retailers which carry them.
Description (omitted the portion of the blurb which does a mini-recap of book #2)
In Loving Ben, eighteen-year-old Meg decides it’s time to let Ben know that she’s not a kid anymore and that she’s loved him as long as she’s known him. She could swear the attractive college man—her brother’s best friend—has been looking at her in a different way lately, but she may be letting her imagination run wild.
This future Marine is going to put on makeup and a dress, step into some sparkly sandals, and let Ben Cameron know he shouldn’t treat her like a kid sister anymore.
