Today we welcome author Liz Crowe who is promoting her new series, The Realtor Series: Life in the House Lane
About the series:
The Realtors: Life in
the House Lane
Love is an easy word to use, a hard one to demonstrate, and
sometimes impossible to trust.
The Realtors is a sweeping epic, encompassing over ten years
in the lives of two people who know how to love with their bodies, how to
please and get pleasure, to control and be controlled. When it comes to the deeper meaning of the
one word they both need however, their strong personalities get in the way.
While their physical connection sizzles they continue to disappoint one another
emotionally.
Jack Gordon has it all--money, success, a string of
women—but sustains a deep longing for something more. When he thinks he finds
it with Sara Jane Thornton, his world is never the same again. Sara releases his natural Dom, a side of him
he'd thought buried out of frustration and unhappiness. Sara learns a true
submissive must trust implicitly, something she cannot associate with him, no
matter how many times she tries, and he fails.
With a rich cast of secondary characters, including a young
man who presents a near-perfect foil to Jack's intensity, and who falls hard
for Sara; The Realtors series is a romantic saga with an emphasis on
contemporary life and love, with a healthy dose of white-hot eroticism. Modern,
busy, driven characters living lives of purpose and real-time stress, seek the
ever-elusive and highly coveted combination --a friend, lover and trusted
advisor who will be there for the long haul.
Floor Time (The Realtors – Book 1):
01/23/2012
Jack Gordon is Ann Arbor's most delectable bachelor. At age thirty-five, he's made millions as a
top-selling Ann Arbor real estate broker and has the right connections to close
a deal by any means necessary. With his rugged good looks and compelling
personality, he has a virtual black book most men would kill for and he uses it
often, never settling for one woman for very long.
While his D/s past remains buried, exactly where he wants
it, an undercurrent of boredom and dissatisfaction runs through his life
now. A disastrous experience years
earlier made him swear off the whole scene, but the more Jack suppresses his
natural Dom, the more his frustration grows.
Sara Thornton, a rookie in the real estate game, has
fast-tracked herself to the top of the Ann Arbor market. Her life reflects a
disciplined and focused routine, exactly the way she wants it. However, as her career takes off, the
fulfillment she seeks remains inexplicably out of reach. The one thing she knows for sure, she will not
join the Jack Gordon groupies in her company, no matter how tempting that might
seem.
A chance encounter, then a difficult transaction, throw Jack
and Sara together and the sparks fly high and hot and often. Forced to confront
the compulsions that gain momentum with each sizzling encounter, their
relationship seems to spiral out of control until Jack finally admits what he
needs, and shows Sara what she's been missing.
Sweat Equity (The Realtors – Book 2):
02/06/2012
Jack Gordon thought he’d finally made it. He had a wildly successful career, money in
the bank and even returned to his life as Dom, putting an end to a string of
unfulfilling sexual encounters. Now that he's made the ultimate commitment to
Sara Thornton, he believes all is right in their world. However, a series of
misunderstandings and a dose of self-fulfilling prophesy bring his perfectly
crafted house of cards tumbling down around him, forcing him to confront
lingering misgivings about marriage and trust.
Could those be the only two things he can never achieve?
Sara struggles with her intense need for Jack and her desire
for less volatility in her busy life, two goals which appear to be mutually
exclusive. Although willing to put in the time and emotional effort to make
their relationship work, she finds it futile and frustrating, littered with
clashes thanks to near-identical personalities and temperaments. Given Sara’s
history, easing back into the comfortable status quo becomes easier than
fighting a war with the one person who should be her safe haven. But will the
easier choice satisfy her the way only Jack can? Is her "war" one
that comes from without or within?
Buffeted by circumstance, temptation and distraction, Jack
and Sara’s tenuous relationship crumbles, sparking a continuous quest for the
ever elusive: trust, love and acceptance. By the time they rebuild a foundation
for renewal, fate has other plans. This leaves them both reeling, once again
questioning their destiny.
Closing Costs (The Realtors – Book 3):
03/02/2012
Love conquers all? Not likely, according to Sara Thornton.
She's spent eight years coming to terms with the new parameters of her life
while resigning herself to the idea that “happily ever afters” are best left to
fairytales. Sales manager for her
successful real estate office and juggling an added element of responsibility
she never thought she'd face, Sara continues to struggle with the men in her
life. Love, for her, has only meant
hurt, broken trust and anger; all of which she’s completely banished from her
life, so she claims.
Jack Gordon has come a long way since his early days of
obsession with Sara. As the general
manager of Stewart Realty, his own level of responsibility for the well-being
of others has ramped up. He’s even honed his caretaking skills, now that he has
someone who loves him unconditionally.
Continuing to invest effort and rebuild their relationship,
he and Sara grow close as friends. Despite this, his ultimate question remains
unanswered; the one he keeps asking, no matter how many times she says no. Sara
isn't prepared for the keen focus of his need--to have her back, once and for
all. Her stubborn resistance nearly rips both lives apart
