A Simple Life by Tory Richards – Guest Blog + FREE Book

Long and Short Reviews welcomes Tory Richards, who is celebrating the recent release of Doc, the eighth book in the Desert Rebels MC series.

A Simple Life
Some of you may relate to this. When I first retired after working for forty something years, I had a hard time adjusting. I didn’t retire because I wanted to, I had to because of a disability. So, for a while there I felt lost. I felt lazy and useless. But once I embraced not working anymore things gradually began to change. I found myself enjoying my freedom. I could travel when I wanted. Take naps, stay up late and sleep in. I spent a lot of time with my grandchildren. Suddenly life was good again!

Now it’s my mission to keep my life as simple as possible. I’ve downsized considerably. Heck, if I downsize anymore, I’ll be living in my car. I was big on material things when I had the room but now I live with my daughter and her family. I have my own area in the house, and it reflects my tastes and likes, just less of it. My cats and I are content, and I have my vintage Etsy shop and writing to keep me busy.

Speaking of writing…

I want to tell you about my newest release, which came out on August 1. Doc, book 8 of my Desert Rebels MC series, may or may not be the ending of the series. Book 1, Cole, is free if you want a taste of what the Desert Rebels is about. The short version is that the series is about a motorcycle club. There’s a new hero and heroine in each book who get their HEA ending, and I recommend the series be read in order.

Doc has been a member of the Desert Rebels for a long time. He had his own clinic until a sweet, beautiful nurse came on board and ruined everything. Harlow is married and a complication Doc didn’t need. He tried; he really did. But after a while he couldn’t stand working beside a woman he wanted more than he needed air to breathe.

Giving his practice up seemed the only logical solution, but life has a way of kicking you in the ass when you least expect it. Harlow becomes friends with some of the old ladies and suddenly she’s frequenting the clubhouse and club owned bar. There’s only one way Doc can survive being around her.
Make the beauty hate him any way he can.

Enjoy an Excerpt

We were quaking with passion, unwilling and unable to break apart. Tasting her was like taking a hit of the strongest drug in existence, like something new and wicked. Addicting. As our tongues engaged in a rhythm of give and take, there was no way to determine which one of us was more demanding. We ground our mouths together, wet and sloppy and so fucking hot, until the need to breathe won out and we pulled apart, sucking in loud mouthfuls of air to fill our starved lungs.

“Fuck, that got out of control fast,” I rasped, burying my face into the side of Harlow’s neck. She smelled like sunshine and flowers. “I wasn’t expecting you to reciprocate so enthusiastically. Thought I’d have a fight on my hands.”

A short laugh escaped Harlow. “You’re the only man who’s ever kissed me like that,” she admitted in a breathless tone.

I leaned back to check out her expression to see if she was disappointed by how rough and demanding I’d been, but all I saw was smokey heat in her eyes. Her beautiful face was flushed with color, her mouth swollen and wet. I relaxed when I felt the subtle nudge of her hips against me as if she couldn’t help but do it. A feral smile spread across my face when I thrust right back.

“You don’t even like me,” she said after a minute of silence.
