In Love by

The
Adventures of Anabel Axelrod
(Volume III)
By Tracy
Ellen
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?
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.

“Who am I kidding? I’ve been waiting for Our Turn like a cat
in heat!’
” He shook his head at my laugh and shot me a grimly amused
look. “The man kidnapped you! You have a very bizarre soft spot for dangerous
oddballs, Anabel Axelrod.” “Why yes I
do, Luke Drake. How astute of you to notice,” I agreed smoothly, tucking my left
hand under my cheek where it rested on the seat. He glanced over with narrowed eyes. “Are you
calling me an oddball?” I giggled. “Does
the patent leather pump fit, my Dark Prince?
“Yeah, he is,” I affirmed absently while I thought about the
best way to put it to Pam. “No, of course he can’t force me to be his
girlfriend, although he’d try. If Luke should ever be so stupid that he makes
an unrecoverable choice that I can’t live with or that he can’t fix, I won’t
stop loving him or break up with him. He’ll just be dead to me. It will be like
I’m a widow, except my man won’t be really dead. I’ll just never have another
boyfriend because he is it for me.” I smiled at Pam “See, pretty simple!”
This book was given to me in exchange for an honest review.
Anabel Axelrod is a woman who knows what she wants and she
want Luke. She is a strong, mostly confident woman. She is in love with him and
wants him to love her the same way. Luke
disappears after only one day of being her boyfriend. She calls him “Mr. Secretive”. She constantly worries about what he is doing
or who he is doing it with. And now
someone is out to kill her.
Luke is a strong, loving man. He will do anything he can to protect Anabel.
But he is hiding something. Something
that could cause him to lose the one person that he loves. When Anabel finds
out the truth will she leave him? Will
their love survive?
This was a story that had many twists and turns that kept
you interested. I loved the characters, the humor and sarcasm from the
characters. Anabel is a person who I
would want to be friends with. She is
loyal and protective to the ones she loves.
Luke is the alpha male in the story but Anabel keeps him in line. There
were time I laughed so hard I cried and other times I was yelling for Anabel to
slap Luke. I never read the first two in
the series but I did need to. I would
recommend this book.
