Book Synopsis:
"When
love throws you a curve, swing for the fences."
Parker Wood's dreams of becoming a professional baseball player are shattered when he's injured in a devastating car crash. After two years in hospitals and physical rehab facilities, he's ready to move back to his childhood home and take over the family landscaping company. The house and business are his, now that his father has passed.
Sophie Vaughn has suffered through a hellishly public divorce from a husband who couldn't manage to stay faithful for two months of marriage. Determined not to let her personal drama impact her successful wedding and party planning business, she buys her parents' old house, hoping the comfort of familiar surroundings will help her heal.
When Parker and Sophie discover they're neighbors once again, it's as if time has stood still. Their friendship is quickly rekindled, along with the decade-long crush neither of them ever admitted having. Then the heat between them exposes a long-held secret that threatens to tear them apart...unless they can detach from their painful pasts and move forward-together.
Warning: Contains sultry summer nights, steamy pool-side encounters, and you'll never look at a jar of peanut butter the same way again.
Review Rating: 4 LIGHTNING BOLTS
Review: In her typical style, the author took me on a journey of love, loss, second chances, and new beginnings. The emotions are so real, the characters perfectly flawed which makes them interesting and intriguing. With plenty of conflict and heat to keep the pages turning.
Parker and Sophie have been through a lot. Now, they seem to have found one another again, but the stakes are different this time. Each character has a past to deal with that keeps them from moving forward, from loving, and opening their hearts. But the pair can't seem to stay away from one another no matter how hard they try.
I always enjoy a book by this author, and Leave The Lights On is another to add to the collection of stories I've enjoyed by Ms. Stivali. Can't wait for more!

Bio:
Karen
Stivali is a prolific writer, compulsive baker and chocoholic with a
penchant for books, movies and fictional British men. When she's not
writing, she can be found cooking extravagant meals and serving them
to family and friends, who never seem to mind the excessive
quantities she tends to prepare. She attributes her ability to
multitask to the fact that she rarely sleeps, which gives her more
hours every day.
Karen
has always been fascinated by the way people relate to one another so
she favors books and movies that feature richly detailed characters
and their relationships. In her own writing she likes to explore the
dynamics between characters and has a tendency to craft romantic
tales filled with sarcasm and sexy details. Although she writes in
three genres (erotic romance, contemporary romance and women's
fiction) all of her stories are love stories with happily ever after
endings.
Karen
has published several erotic romance novels with Ellora's Cave
including two award winning stories: Always You (published September
2011, First Place Winner of the RWA Passionate Plume Award - 2012)and
Marry Me (published June 2012, First Place Winner in the NEC-RWA Bean
Pot Reader's Choice Award - 2013).
