Want to know a secret?
It's about that girl over there.
Don’t look, but she’s the one in the power suit—with the long, black hair and
the serious expression, the one I’m about to go on a date with . . .
Yeah, according to her, she “accidentally” donated an obscene amount of money
to my charity — The Lineup — to win said date but I found out the truth. Miss.
Button Up Blouse has a secret, passionate crush on me.
I didn’t know her name until two days ago, despite the friends we have in
common.
Was I oblivious? Probably.
Was I blind to it? Definitely.
But I’m no fool, I see it now. The High Heel Harlot wants more than just a date
with Jason Orson, she wants to be able to claim the best butt in baseball as
hers.
Here's another secret . . . she has no idea I know.
Johnaka's Review
“Classic opposites attract, 5 stars”
Jason might have known about Dottie in college but he definitely knows about her now. When he finds out his best friends woman’s best friend donated an obscene amount of money to his charity then cancelled the date she won he can’t help but be intrigued. When he meets her there may have been a spark or two. They say opposites attract but can two people be any more opposite?
Dottie might have been slightly obsessed with Jason in college but she was never on his radar. She didn’t intentionally donate to his charity it was a mix up. But will that mix up pay off in ways she’s only ever dreamed of? Will the guy who screams relationships be able to convince the noncommitted Dottie to be with him? Only one way to find out.
Ugh, Quinn nailed the slow burn between Jason and Dottie. At times it was like a role reversal. I loved how he was willing to do whatever it took to be with her while Dottie was leery. You have the secondary characters and the awkwardly hilarious banter and I was sold. If you take a chance on The Lineup you will laugh, possibly cringe, but ultimately love how it ends. You won’t regret it.

EXCERPT:
**JASON**
It isn’t in my nature to cry over burnt ham, but here I am,
tearing up like a jackass, because the meal I’ve been reluctantly slaving over
for the past four hours is two shades away from charred dust.
I had it all planned out. The timing was right, the recipes
perfected, the table decorated with impeccably folded napkins that impersonated
angelic swans, and polished silver that I scrubbed for an hour until I could
see my balls in the reflection. Nothing says polished silverware like a spoon
that gives you a clear upside-down view of your gonads.
But even with countless hours of preparing this feast, naked
as the day I was born with only an apron to cover my man-loins, I still ended
up with a scorched ham doused in fire extinguisher agent because somehow, the
damn thing caught on fire.
Imagine this, a grown-ass man—no, not just a grown-ass man,
but a man at the fresh age of twenty-eight, built like a linebacker with
buttocks you can bounce rocks off . . . thanks to squatting for a
living—dancing around the kitchen on his twinkle toes, arms flailing with pink
and white potholders attached to his hands, screaming like a banshee, as flames
light up the Jenn-Air double oven where the brown sugar and pineapple ham
resided.
Are you seeing it?
Add the imagery of said man naked, dick and balls
harmoniously bouncing in panic while the apron his “girlfriend” got him that
says Eat my food, Lick my dick, unravels in the fit to unleash the fire
extinguisher.
That was me . . . a minute ago.
Frantic, screaming, and all in all losing any last shred of
my man card I had left.
It’s why I’m currently weeping like a nitwit into the flaps
of my apron, wondering where I went wrong.
If we’re going to be honest with each other—and I would like
to establish honesty with you—I’ll admit, I’ve always leaned toward the
sensitive side. You know, the cuddly grizzly bear. Big and intimidating but a
fucking gooey butterball heart on the inside.
Tell me a love story. I’ll listen the crap out of it.
The Bachelor? Why yes, that’s one of my favorite shows.
Do I smile when sharing a candlelit dinner with myself,
followed by a nice long soak in a bubble bath while Enya—the fucking goddess of
all voices—plays in the background? I sure as shit do.
But if some ignorant asswipe gets in my face on the ball
field, stirring up trouble, I’m the first to lay a fist across his jaw and the
first to be thrown out of a game.
And I’m not even sorry about it.
People are arriving in an hour. I’m vulnerable as fuck with
my bare ass resting against the cold white-oak floor of my girl’s apartment,
while a lonely tear streams down my freshly shaven cheek. I have no main dish,
and the apartment smells like burnt rabbit turd.
Why am I in this hopeless predicament?
Because of one person.
One single person who flipped my life upside down.
A bombshell in a suit, a ravenous sex-fiend in the sheets, a
classy and sophisticated tight-ass in the boardroom. She’s a knockout who’s
always on my mind. She’s the girl you do things for, that you never thought
you’d ever do . . .
Like cook a fancy-as-fuck four-course meal for her and her
business associates while practicing interesting conversational starters to
ensure the night flows smoothly.
Back in college, I might have been referred to as the mother
hen of the boys. I might have cooked at least two meals a week for the guys in
the loft, and yeah, I was the ironing wizard, the one everyone turned to, to
get out the most stubborn wrinkles. The title has carried on over the years,
but my creativity in the kitchen has dwindled with the lack of time, my ironing
is now done by my apartment keeper once a week, and the fresh flowers scattered
around my place? They’re more dead now than alive.
My point—I’m not the lady of the house I used to be. But
I’ve been getting back into the swing of it.
So when my girl asked me to perform the impossible feat of
an intimate dinner for four, I should have ordered in, tossed everything in
serving dishes, and called it a night.
But nooooooooo, I had to attempt to be a goddamn hero and
try to cook everything myself.
And all for what?
For one girl?
No. Not just one girl. The girl who owns my balls, who has a
grip so tight on them that if she asked me to bellow out my ABCs in soprano
while swirling my finger around my belly button . . . I would.
Who is this girl that has brought me to the brink of boo-boo
smush bear insanity and caused me to weep like a schoolgirl in the corner of
the apartment?
There’s only one lady with more than enough ovaries to
buckle the knees of the mighty Jason Orson.
The one and only Dorothy “Dottie” Domico.
