Blurb:
As an ivy-league ER doctor who eats double shifts for breakfast (and
lunch…and dinner), Blake Fisher has little appetite for anything other than
work. Being on the staff at Brenstville Hospital means taking care of people, a
need Blake understands all too well from losing his brother to cystic fibrosis
eight years ago. When he’s asked to coordinate a carnival fundraiser for the
cause, he jumps at the chance to help others with the disease…until it lands
him side by side with the one woman he never thought he’d see again: his
ex-fiancée.
Streetwise and rough around the edges, Jules Shaw is no stranger to
earning a living through hard work. But when her job as the restaurant manager
of Mac’s Diner puts her shoulder to really broad shoulder with Blake Fisher,
she nearly balks. She’d rather dodge and deflect than admit the real reason she
broke things off, but the catering contract for the carnival means big business
for Mac’s, and feeding people is Jules’s lifeblood.
As Blake and Jules join reluctant forces, they
quickly rediscover the spark between them. But the possibility of a future
together hinges on coming clean about the past, with potentially devastating
consequences. Can Blake and Jules overcome their drastically different
backgrounds and learn to love again, or will they always be outside the lines?
Review:
Blake and Jules make
a great pair! Ms. Kincaid drew me into the characters and did a great job of
revealing their backstory, making me feel emotionally involved in a really
short period of time. If I had to go to
the Emergency Room, I wouldn’t mind a doctor like Blake Fisher checking me out.. I also wouldn’t mind Jules cooking me
breakfast…
I signed up to
participate in the Outside the Lines blog tour, not realizing that this novella
was a part of a series. I read this novella (it really stands along- so I am
guessing this series can be read in any order) and I liked it enough that I
went to the authors page to see what else she had written. This read gets FOUR
stars from SYMFB and have added the other books in this series to my TBR list and
will definitely check them out.

Kimberly Kincaid
writes contemporary romance that splits the difference between sexy and sweet.
When she’s not sitting cross-legged in an ancient desk chair known as “The
Pleather Bomber”, she can be found practicing obscene amounts of yoga, whipping
up anything from enchiladas to éclairs in her kitchen, or curled up with her
nose in a book. Kimberly is the 2011 RWA Golden Heart ® finalist
who lives (and writes!) by the mantra that food is love. She has written two digital novellas, Love On
the Line, and Drawing the Line about hot cops and sexy chefs, with Outside the
Lines as her third novella in this series. She is also thrilled to have collaborated
on a Christmas anthology with Donna Kauffman and Kate Angell, titled The Sugar
Cookie Sweetheart Swap, to kick off her Pine Mountain foodie series with
Kensington this October. Kimberly’s first full length novel, Turn up the Heat,
will follow in February 2014. She resides in Northern Virginia with her wildly
patient husband and their three daughters.
