Makin’ Amends by LizAnne Axtel

Genre Contemporary

Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R

Waking one morning with no clue where he is, or who he’s been with, Brody Morris realizes his life is a total mess. He’s been riding a downward spiral since his discharge from the service and now he’s hit rock bottom. Only one hope remains—the support of a friend. Brody arrives at Turquoise Creek Ranch a broken but determined man.

Working with horses is Meghan Hill’s dream job and she won’t do anything to jeopardize her position at Turquoise Creek Ranch. When the new hire doesn’t remember her, or their spectacular night together after the boss’s wedding, she’s determined to keep her distance.

Until the day he discovers her vomiting behind a hay bale and everything changes.

Know the Hero from Makin’ Amends

Here are some fun questions to help us know your hero.

It’s late, he’s bored. What does he do?

In the past Brody would hit the bars and find a willing woman. Now? Streaming a movie or researching an interesting topic fill his time. When the boredom pushes him toward his old lifestyle, he uses calming visualizations to remain centered.

What kind of food would he impulse buy if hungry?

A huge sub sandwich—usually roast beef and cheese, but definitely dripping with extra mayo, pickles and jalapeños. If there’s horseradish sauce, he’s in heaven.

Describe the kind of clothes he prefers to wear.

Jeans and a tee shirt. Luckily he doesn’t have to change his style for his new job at Turquoise Creek Ranch. But when working with horses, he’s going to have to exchange his athletic shoes for boots!

Does he know how to fix things?

He can jury-rig things together with the best of them—a skill he perfected in the service. But really fixing something properly? Not so much.

How does he act around children he doesn’t know?

He’s never had much experience around kids, so he’s leery at first. But once he gets to know them, he’s more comfortable.

What is he like first thing in the morning?

DO NOT talk to this man until he’s had coffee!

Can he use chopsticks?

Not so well. Doesn’t care for Chinese food, so considers chopsticks pretentious.

Does he drink coffee? If so, how does he take it? If not, what does he drink instead?

See above. :) He likes his coffee black and on the bitter side. When the occasion calls for a ‘damn fancy coffee’, he’ll choose espresso and complain the cup is too small.

What apps would he have on his phone?

He’s not a gamer, so there’s only a simple solitaire game. Some messaging apps (because of course everyone has to use something different), apps from food places he doesn’t go to anymore, movie streaming services. Every so often he looks through the apps and decides he needs to delete some, but never really gets around actually pushing the button.

Android or iPhone?

Android.

Beard or clean-shaven?

Keeps his beard close cut. The scruffy look works for him. He has in the past, however, shaved his head.

Earrings/piercings/tattoos or unadorned skin?

Nope. He has scars. That’s enough decoration for him.

Personal vehicle or public transport?

Personal vehicle. A somewhat junky sedan gets him where he needs to go.

Recycle or toss?

Recycle. The world is in enough trouble without adding more to the garbage dumps. Recycling gives Brody a sense of satisfaction reminiscent of when he was overseas. It’s just saving the world in another way.

Thanks for helping us get to know your hero!

A writer once wanted to write different things
Like short little tales of the joy loving brings,
True lovers who struggle with all of life’s stings.
Instalove magic to tug your heartstrings.
A little bit hot, a little more steamy,
And always, you know, with heroes so dreamy
With a promise the endings happy will be,
This pen name was formed by author *lizzie.
Her brain is a library with stories to tell,
She writes and she hopes you’ll like them as well.
