I’ve been having
so much fun letting the world know about UGLY DUCKLINGS FINISH FIRST that I’ve
neglected to talk about the people who’ve already read it. And before I let the chance slip away, let me
thank all those who take time out of their busy day to sit down and read one of
my books. I’m so grateful!

Book Notes:
“If I had to use three words to describe Ugly Ducklings
Finish First they would be—Fun, Fast, and Light!” 4 stars, Gin’s Book Notes http://ginsbooknotes.com/2013/08/04/book-review-ugly-ducklings-finish-first/
Book-A-Holic Anon:
“Their relationship is quick, hot and filled
with a bit of angst as they both realize that they have something special that
might be worth holding on to. I’d love a chance to see them in a few
years just to see how things are going so if Stacy wants to write more about
Bitterthorn I’d be happy to read it.” 4

Reading
The Paranormal
“I
sat down to read this on a day when I needed something light and playful and I
can say -- with confidence -- that I got just that. Wiley and Payton are SO
DAMN CUTE together that it worked.” Kelly Rubidoux, 5 stars, Reading the Paranormal

I’ve left links to all the reviewers who’ve taken
valuable time out of their schedules to read UDFF, so if you’re a booklover,
you might want to take a peek at their various sites. Each one is dedicated to
the love of books, and the one thing these peeps have in common is their
delight in sharing that love. So drop in
and say hi, okay? Happy reading!
BLURB:
Metal Mouth. Queen Geek. Dr. Payton Pruitt heard it all growing
up. But she’s over it, and attending her ten-year high school reunion is the
perfect way to prove it to herself. Even if there’s only one person she’s
interested in seeing in Bitterthorn, Texas: Wiley Sharpe.
Now a respected lawyer, Wiley didn’t live down to the label Most Likely to Be Slapped with a Paternity Suit. But recent acts of vandalism suggest someone still sees him as a heartbreaker, and the reunion seems a likely place to find the culprit. Instead, Wiley comes face-to-face with his old pal Payton—and is wowed not only by her transformation into a ravishing swan, but by the connection they still share.
Payton is pleased the playboy she used to tutor has grown into an honorable man, but she’s too smart to fall for a guy with roots in a place she couldn’t wait to leave. But while Payton is an academic genius, Wiley is the one with the PhD in pleasure, and he intends to use it to convince her to stay…
