Review & Release Blitz ~ Stroked Long by Meghan Quinn
STROKED LONG by Meghan Quinn
Sports Romance
Cover Designed by: Indie Solutions by Murphy Rae
From his dirty-blond hair and breathtaking smile, to the abs from heaven and the irresistible V in his waistline, everything about Bodi Olympic-gold-medalist Banks screams hot piece of @$$.
Yet there’s more.
Dark shadows lurk behind his soulful, serious eyes.
I’m enamored. He’s captured me.
How can running an art foundation with Bodi Banks turns into a slow-burning, epic romance, even though he tries to push me away at every chance? How can I stay away from a broken, routine-driven man whose soul cries to be forgiven for a crime only he believes he committed? Or is that a lie?
**STROKED LONG can be read as a stand alone.
I never thought Bodi would reach me on the level he did. Bodi has been unable to "breathe" for a long time. He is drowning in guilt. He cooks, he cleans and does things in threes to keep it at bay. Paranoia cripples him, but Ruby sees past his idiosyncrasies and appreciates the man he is with those eyes that truly are the windows to his soul. She is smitten, but sees more than six-pack abs, she sees his massive heart in his charitable actions and hears his soul in that sexy as sin voice. I adored Bodi's inner dialogue. He had moments where he could not hide his emotions even when he didn't know how to express them. "But she's my air. She's my reason I breathe." Some of those expressions were heartbreaking to read and made you want to hug him and tell him it would be okay. Ruby was truly made to love him and was the perfect person to pull him out of his funk and teach him to live, to love, to breathe again. Can Bodi go for gold in and out of the water? You need to find out!!
ARC provided for an honest review
Reese King: Olympic medalist, underwear model, Greek god.
His body is chiseled from rock, sculpted by the weight room, and refined by water.
On a daily basis his skin is completely bare for everyone to see, tan and defined, only covered up by a minuscule piece of spandex. There is no denying his sex appeal.
I hate to admit it, but I’m head over heels infatuated with him.
There is one HUGE problem though. His achingly gorgeous abs, inked up arm, and cocky swagger belong to my boss, the high-profile, reality star bitch from hell and certified heinous human being, Bellini Chambers.
What I think is going to be an easy job assisting a glorified wench turns into a cluster f*ck of epic proportions.

Born in New York and raised in Southern California, Meghan has grown into a sassy, peanut butter eating, blonde haired swearing, animal hoarding lady. She is known to bust out and dance if "It's Raining Men" starts beating through the air and heaven forbid you get a margarita in her, protect your legs because they may be humped.
Once she started commuting for an hour and twenty minutes every day to work for three years, she began to have conversations play in her head, real life, deep male voices and dainty lady coos kind of conversations. Perturbed and confused, she decided to either see a therapist about the hot and steamy voices running through her head or start writing them down. She decided to go with the cheaper option and started writing... enter her first novel, Caught Looking.
Now you can find the spicy, most definitely on the border of lunacy, kind of crazy lady residing in Colorado with the love of her life and her five, furry four legged children, hiking a trail or hiding behind shelves at grocery stores, wondering what kind of lube the nervous stranger will bring home to his wife. Oh and she loves a good boob squeeze!
