In Love by
Design welcomes you back to Northfield, Minnesota and the life of Anabel
Axelrod.
Its
official--the sexy, blonde bookstore owner with a sassy attitude, a brain that
never stops, and a reluctant penchant for helping her family and friends out of
trouble has fallen madly in love.
Anabel
doesn't get to prove what a fabulous girlfriend she'll make for more than eight
hours before Luke disappears out of town. Instead of getting to enjoy being a
girl passionately in love, Anabel’s shiny new feelings and trust in her
boyfriend are immediately being tested.
Who is the
darkly powerful and charismatic Luke Drake? What are his secrets? Does he
really love Anabel, or has he been manipulating her to further an intricate
plan of cold revenge in the making for over twenty years?
This third
book in the series finds the confident Anabel desperately needing her sense of humor
and all her understanding of human nature to deal with life. But Anabel soon
learns the hard way she has even bigger issues to worry about than family
problems and an incredibly hot, but very tricky boyfriend.
She’s made
some bad enemies recently and someone wants her dead. After the first attempt
on her life, Anabel and Luke team up to solve this mystery, but Anabel is
beginning to wonder if she can trust her Dark Prince. Or Is this one fairy tale where love does
not conquer all?
OMG! This series was such a fun read! You get comedy, drama, suspense, action, and of course romance!!! The characters are funny and witty and of course steamy!! I think each book got better than the last.
This is the 3rd in the Adventures of Anabel Axelrod series.
Anabel is our bookstore owner and one of the funnest characters to follow in a series. She is smart, spunky and absolutely in love with the mysterious man Luke Drake. Luke Drake is of course HOT HOT HOT!!!! But nothing can be perfect and Anabel starts having doubts about Mr. Sexy Mystery Guy, she needs to figure out whether their love is real or just a plot for revenge.
This book is face passed and Anabel will keep you wanting more! There is NO cliffhanger! Your emotions will be on a rollercoaster and your brain will be working double time! Anabel would make one badass friend! Tracy has definatly made a new fan with me! I love when we get fun and sarcastic characters to follow; probably cause I am not that quick of a thinker lol. I am one of those that after 20 mins I will think of a good comeback.
Definitly recommend this series, I can't imagine any genre lover that would not enjoy it!
Rating: 4.5 stars

Excerpt:
“Perfect timing, I was just
going to come find you,” I called out, looking through the rest of the pastry
offerings and trying to decide which would tide me over until lunch. At the
silence, I finally glanced over at the back entry to see Luke checking me out
from the door.
I shook my head and wagged
my finger. “Oh no, I recognize that look and I’m all ready to go to lunch.”
Today, my long hair is down and straight. I’m wearing a short, black dress with
a high, round neckline and fitted waist, and black suede boots. The fabric
clings tightly to my body in all the right places. Motioning down my body, I
stated, “You had your chance at this, but stayed in the barn.”
Luke didn’t say anything,
just stalked towards me.
“No, no, no!” Backing away
towards the dining room, I laughed and said, “No muss, no fuss!”
His
smile is sharp and predatory, his tail is snapping. “Back in the barn, you
didn’t smell so good or look so hot like you do now.” He ignored my outraged
choke of laughter, his gaze running down my dress. He cocked a black brow.
“Stockings again, and lace,” he murmured. “I warned you about stockings,
Anabel.”
Author Bio:
Meet Tracy Ellen…
For all of my life, I’ve always had a thing
for shoes that make me say “Oh, yum!” and for reading romance novels written
about hot, dangerously smart men and sassy, intelligent women. It’s not an
exaggeration to say I’ve avidly read everything I could get my greedy little
hands on to find these jewels.
One day this past year or so, I realized that
I spend more money on books now than I do on shoes--and I was stunned. Should I
be ashamed of this fact or proud? Then an even stranger thing happened. It was
like a switch turned off/on inside me. All of a sudden instead of wanting
to read about diabolically sexy men, I wanted to write my
own story of the building hot romance between a lippy, confident woman and a
gorgeously mysterious man.
So began my budding writing career. Then I
made another happy discovery—I absolutely love writing and still have a thing
for shoes! Since then, my self-published books include A Date with Fate and Courted
by Karma in The Adventures of Anabel Axelrod series. The third book in
the series, In Love by Design will be released in September
2013.
For those of you who may want to know some
pertinent facts: I was born in Indiana to middle-class parents, the third out
of five hellions. My mother wanted to go to work every day.
I’ve always lived in the Midwest, except for six steamy months in Florida when
I was nineteen. Currently, I reside in the suburbs of St. Paul, Minnesota with
my family. The college town of Northfield featured in Anabel’s Adventures is
just down the road a jaunt.
I love, love, love connecting with readers.
