About TRIPPED OUT:
Where there’s smoke…
Stirling Gradsky abandoned the corporate rat race for a more laidback lifestyle. So it’s ironic she’s stuck working with a hard-bodied, know-it-all scientist who treats her like a stoner instead of a stone cold business woman capable of running a large scale cannabis operation. Dr. Hot and Tattooed with the big…brain needs to stop sampling their product; he’s under the half-baked idea that he’s the boss.
Dr. Liam Argent’s doctorate isn’t in chemistry, but from the moment he meets his sexy new coworker, there’s enough heat between them to short out all the lights in the grow house. First item on his agenda? Clearing up the sassy, blunt blonde’s hazy notion that she’s in charge.
Sparks fly as their attraction blazes. But can they weed out their differences without getting burned?

EXCERPT
It was just her luck that she lost her balance as she
slipped on her cowgirl boot, falling sideways into the coat tree, knocking it
over with a spectacular crash.
So much for her stealth exit.
Liam raced around the corner. “Stirling? Are you…”
“Leaving? Yes. Get some rest, Dr. Argent. I’ll see you at
work tomorrow.”
His eyes narrowed. “You’re pissed off at me.”
“What makes you think that?”
“You called me Dr. Argent.”
“It is your name,
as you’ve repeatedly reminded me over the past ten months. Anyway, I’m not
pissed off because you don’t want to discuss your past with me. It’s your
choice. I’m not the type to nag or beg. But relationships require a level of
trust from both parties, otherwise it’s superficial. I’ve had enough of that,
so I’ll pass if that’s all you’re prepared to offer me.” She bent down to
retrieve her boot….and found herself airborne with Liam’s shoulder in her
stomach as he carried her in a fireman’s hold into the living room.
Stirling was so stunned by his caveman behavior she couldn’t
speak.
Liam laid her on the couch and stretched out on top of her,
preventing her escape.
The smart man had pinned her legs so she couldn’t knee him
in the balls, either.
So she glared at him. She’d said her piece; in fact, she’d
probably said far too much.
“Did you mean it?” he demanded.
“Mean what? Mean to leave? Yes.”
“No. Did you mean it that we’re in a relationship?”
The vulnerability in his eyes just…slayed her. “The pranks,
the bickering, the one-upmanship… We’ve been in a relationship since day one,
Dr. Dumbass. An adversarial relationship, sort of fucked-up, to be honest. But
in that time… Have I permeated your thoughts to the point you aren’t sure if
you want to strangle me or if you want to f*ck me? Do you have entire
conversations in your head about what clever remarks you’ll toss off the next
time you run into me? Or maybe you plan
to cross my path just so we can have a snarky back and forth? Does your heart
race when you see me? Do you imagine shutting my smart mouth with a steamy
kiss? Do you fantasize about storming into my office, locking the door, bending
me over my desk, fucking me in silence until we both explode, and then leaving
without saying a word?”
“Yes.”
“Yes to what?”
“Yes to all of it.”

REVIEW
Tripped Out was a uniguely fun reading experience. From witty banter between Stirling and Liam to their sparking chemistry I was pulled quickly into the story and finished it in one night.
Stirling came into this operation to get away from the corprate world she'd been sucked into before and let down in. She's got past issues that still resonate - but she also knows she's not wrong that there's something more to Dr. Liam. Getting to the bottom of it though, well she's been unable to do that, though setting aside their prank war and actually talking to each other might do the trick.
Liam seems unable to say the right things to Stirling, so he's been falling back on their prank war - though neither of them will admit that's what they are doing. When he finally finds himself in a position to get to know the real Stirling - he's impressed - in more ways than one.
I loved these two and their interactions - from the banter and pranks to the more serious discussions - it's clear to see the connection between them. There's a whole lot of smoking going on between them and it isn't just from the weed.
If you need a quick, quirky but steamy read - give Tripped out and chance and see how Stirling and Liam are heating things up.
About Lorelei James:
Lorelei James is the New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Author of contemporary erotic western romances set in the modern day Wild West and also contemporary erotic romances. Lorelei’s books have been nominated for and won the Romantic Times Reviewer’s choice Award, as well as the CAPA Award. Lorelei lives in western South Dakota with her family…and a whole closet full of cow girl boots.
From Lorelei: “Why do I have a particular fondness for all things western? Well, I’m a fourth generation South Dakotan, living in the Black Hills, which is chock-full of interesting characters, including cowboys, Indians, ranchers, and bikers. The geographical diversity of the surrounding area showcases mountains, plains, and badlands. Living in and writing about rural settings gives me a unique perspective, especially since I’m not writing historical westerns. Through my fictional world, I can show the ideals and the cowboy way of life are still very much alive.”
