That’s a darn good question. As a former techy I’ve done everything from computer programming to international trainer. Prior to college I had lots of different jobs and activities that were so diverse, I was an anomaly.
None of that qualifies me for writing novels. But I have some darn good stories to tell and a lot of imagination.
I have lived in Colorado, Hawaii and currently Washington. Going from two states with 340 days of sun to a state with 340 days of clouds, I had to do something to perk me up. And that’s when I started this new adventure called author. Joining the Romance Writers of America and two local chapters, helped me learn the craft quickly and has been a ton of fun.
My family consists of two grown children, their spouses, two adorable grand-daughters, and one grand dog. My favorite activity is playing with my grand-daughters!
When the girls can’t play with their amazing grand-mother, my interests are reading and writing, yay! I started reading at a young age with the Nancy Drew mysteries and have continued to be an avid reader my whole life. My favorite reading material is romance in most of the genres, but occasionally other stories creep into my to-be-read pile, I don’t kick them out.
Some of the strange jobs I have held are a carnation grower’s worker, a trap club puller, a pizza hut waitress, a software engineer, an international trainer, and a business program manager. I took welding, drafting and upholstery in high school, a long time ago when girls didn’t take those classes, so I have an eclectic bunch of knowledge and experience.
And for something really unusual… I once had a raccoon as a pet.
Join with me as I tell my stories, weaving real tidbits from my life in with imaginary ones. You’ll have to guess which is which. It will be a hoot!


It’s not you. It’s me.
No, seriously. It is me. Not only does my name literally mean “unfortunate,” but that’s the story of my life.
Everything I touch turns to cr*p. An apartment fire—that I swear I was not responsible for—means I’m living back at home with my s*x-mad parents. Yay, me!
Which is why I need my new job as personal assistant to Cameron Reid to get back on my feet. Three months in this job and I can move back out and, hopefully, remember to turn off my flat iron once in a while.
Ahem.
On paper, my job is easy. Make coffee. Book appointments. Keep everything in order.
Until I walk in on my boss, half-naked, wearing nothing but the kind of tiny white towel that dreams are made of.
Now, nothing is easy—except our mutual attraction. But he’s my boss, and you know what they say about mixing work and pleasure: unless you do p*rn, it’s just not worth it.
Or is it?

I took my coffee from the counter and scanned the room for an empty table. There wasn’t one, which killed my chances of wasting more time before I went home.
With a sigh, I checked my phone for the time and headed for the door. I was going to end up at home earlier than I’d planned, and I needed to check with my mom to make sure there wasn’t anything kinky happening somewhere in the house.
I’d considered bleaching my eyes enough in the last few weeks, thank you.
I was fairly sure I was safe because my grandfather and great aunt were coming to stay to celebrate Grandpa’s eightieth birthday. It was still a miracle my exhibitionist mother shared DNA with either of them. Unlike her, they were reserved, polite, and didn’t flash their flesh in the hopes of getting out of a speeding ticket.
Really, it was no wonder I was a walking disaster.
I pulled up my messages and clicked on my mom’s name. My thumb was poised to type the burning question of whether or not it was safe to come home when I glanced up.
And saw the car screeching to a stop, mere inches from me.
I screamed and stepped back. My heel caught on the curb, sending me toppling backward, and both my coffee and phone went flying. My cup slammed against the sidewalk, splattering hot liquid everywhere right as I managed to save my phone from certain death by concrete.
My heart was beating so fast it should have exploded, and adrenaline raced through my veins. I gripped my phone against me so tightly that the edges pressed painfully into my skin.
Oh my God.
I’d just almost died.
Maybe slightly dramatic, but I probably wasn’t far wrong. I didn’t even know I’d stepped into the road. When had that happened? Had I really been in that deep into my own little world that I hadn’t even checked for traffic?
Dear God.
How was I still alive?
The back door to the sleek, black car that somehow hadn’t run me over swung open. From my vantage position on the sidewalk, the first thing I saw was a pair of shiny, black shoes attached to legs wearing perfectly-pressed, light gray dress pants.
I dragged my gaze up from the feet, over the door of the perfectly clean car, and stared at the most beautiful man known to humankind.
Thick, dark, wavy hair covered his head, curling over his ears. Lashes the same dark shade of brown framed impossibly bright-blue eyes that regarded me with a mixture of shock and concern, and my ovaries about exploded when he rubbed a large hand over full pink lips and a stubbled, strong jaw.
“Miss—I’m so sorry. Are you okay?”
Scrambling to my feet as he approached me, I tugged down the leg of my pants and grabbed my pursed. “Yes. I mean—it was my fault. I wasn’t paying attention. I’m sorry.”
He let go of the car door, showing broad shoulders and just how well that gray suit was tailored to him, and picked up my coffee cup. “All the same, I think we can share blame. Are you sure you’re not hurt?”
Just my dignity, and by this point, I was running low on it anyway.
I shifted, taking a step back. “I’m fine, really. Thank you.”
“Can I replace your coffee? Give you a ride anyway to apologize?” His expression was so earnest, his concern so genuine that I almost gave in.
Almost.
I had almost walked into the front of his car, then proceeded to embarrass myself in front of everyone on the street.
“No, no, it’s fine. I’m not far from home.” I clutched my phone and purse straps a little harder. “Again, thank you, but I should be going.”
He nodded as if he understood. “Uh, miss? Did you drop something there?”
My eyes followed the direction Mr. Dreamboat was pointing. On the side of the road, tucked against the curb, was a pair of white, cotton panties with flamingos on them.
My white, cotton panties with flamingos on them.
Swallowing, I met his bright eyes and shook my head. Dear God, please don’t let me blush. “No. I’ve never seen them before.” I backed up a little more. “Thank you for not running me over.”
Mr. Dreamboat grinned, his eyes brightening with his smile. “I’d never be able to forgive myself if I’d been responsible for running over someone as beautiful as you.” He glanced toward my panties, then winked at me.
There was no doubting that I was blushing this time around.
You could fry eggs on my cheeks.
So I did the only thing any self-respecting, twenty-five-year-old woman who’d just almost been run over, tripped, and dropped her dirty panties could do.
I ran.
But only like two blocks, because I was in heels, and I had the fitness levels of a hippo.
Then I grabbed a cab.

About L.B. Dunbar
I’ve been accused of having an over-active imagination. To my benefit, this imagination has created over twenty novels, including the creation of a small-town world (Sensations Collection), rock star mayhem (Legendary Rock Star series), MMA chaos (Paradise Stories), rom-com for the over forty (The Sex Education of M.E.), and a suspenseful island for redemption (The Island Duet). My alter ego, elda lore, creates magical romance through mythological retellings (Modern Descendants). My life revolves around a deep love of reading about fairy tales, medieval knights, regency debauchery, and strong alpha males. I love a deep belly laugh, a strong hug, and an occasional margarita. My other loves include being mother to four grown children and wife to the one and only.

Okay, I’m not sure how to begin this review. If you’ve read a Huss and McClain book, then you know you are in for a ride. It’s always a bit twisty. It doesn’t always fit the typical romance genre. And it is usually incredibly $exy.
The Square is the second book in the Shape of Love series. It follows the first book, The Triangle. And it’s a wild ride. We return to our main characters, Alex, Christine, and Danny (in that order, Alec tells us). Yes, this is an MMF book, but it really is something more.
It is possible to find yourself struggling with this series. For one, Alex is Afrikaans, and there are times when I had to Google Translate his words. Secondly, there is a way in which the characters think and talk that is surrounded by space. It’s difficult to explain, but you find yourself confused at times. There is something intentional with leaving the reader out of the true knowing of the situation. It is as if the characters conspire to keep us ignorant of all the “goings-on.” This can be daunting at times because you want to fully understand, and you simply cannot.
There are a lot of characters in this book beyond A, C, and D. And Eliza is one such character. My heart hurt for Christine in this book. There were times when I wanted to scream at Alec “keep it in your pants, buddy.” I was exasperated with them throughout the story because I wanted the throuple to protect itself more, and it feels as though they sacrifice each other too much. I understand the saying of “if it’s meant to be and you set it free, it will come back to you,” but I was exasperated with them as they were oftentimes careless.
With that, though, they find strength in their triangle. That is the beauty of this story. No matter the sacrifice, the hurt, the double-crossing, these three always come back to each other. Wbenever anyone conspires against these three, they protect the triangle.
This book ends on a cliffhanger, and I hope the triangle will continue to find its strength in its parts. I am certain, while seemingly unconventional, this story will finds its “happily-ever-after.” Or maybe it won’t. I’m looking forward to the third book…
Overall: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
In love and romance,

Wicked Player is the third book in Stacey Lynn’s series, Rough Riders. I have to admit that I did not read the first two books (although, after reading this book, I know I will find my way back to the first two books in the series). Thankfully, it wasn’t necessary in reading this book. It is a standalone novel telling the story of Elizabeth and Gage.
Gage is a professional football player with the Rough Riders. He has spent his life, protecting his image and giving back to the community. Specifically, he creates a new wing in a hospital for families suffering with children who have life-threatening diseases such as cancer. His motivation for this is personal.
Elizabeth is a journalist. She reports on special interest stories. However, she is ready for the bigger job: anchor. After one of the anchors decides to leave the job, Elizabeth has an opportunity to achieve her goal. However, she must prove herself by being a part of the media corps surrounding Gage’s donation.
Unbeknownst to anyone else, Gage and Elizabeth have secrets; they engage in a different lifestyle than most. However, anonymity is key to this lifestyle. Once they meet, will they survive their secrets? Can they find a “happily-ever-after?” That is the question of this book.
As characters, Gage and Elizabeth are likeable. While Gage exudes masculinity, and he is a true alpha male, there is a tenderness to him. We see it in his friendship with the young patient, Brandon, and Brandon’s mother. We find it in his later encounters with Elizabeth. He is protective and thoughtful to a fault at times. Gage puts everyone else before his needs, and it creates this uber-hero: loveable but sexy all in one.
Elizabeth could be difficult. Many times, journalists as heroines are bossy and interfere with the other characters. However, Elizabeth doesn’t hold those characteristics. Instead, she is supportive of her co-workers, she’s impressed with Gage and his charitable nature, and she is forgiving to a fault in the way that she re-considers her ex-boyfriend. However, she exudes the most strength in her encounters with Gage. She eventually helps him see that he should be a little more selfish in his own pursuits.\
Together, Gage and Elizabeth are a power couple. They definitely endure some strife in this story, but it strengthens them and their connection. It does take Gage some time to recognize his feelings for Elizabeth, but that angst drives the story.
My only criticism of the story is the style. There were some issues with grammar, but I don’t worry too much about it for the final draft. Also, I thought the storyline with the ex was a bit contrived. I honestly thought Elizabeth, given her strength, would be stronger around him originally.
Overall, however, I enjoyed the story. I don’t believe it is trying to do anything too different, but it entertains you nonetheless.
Overall: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
In love and romance,
Professor A

Wicked Player, an all-new forbidden sports romance by Stacey Lynn is now live.

Gage Bryant has the best hands and the quickest feet of any wide receiver in football.
He also has a secret—one he’ll do anything to protect.
He’s a member of The Velvet Club. With airtight non-disclosure agreements, playing at Velvet gives him the freedom to assert his dominance and control in a way that not only serves him on the football field, but the way he craves in the bedroom.
What he doesn’t expect is for his most recent partner to be one of the reporters assigned to follow him around in the weeks before he opens a new wing at the local children’s hospital.
When it’s clear Elizabeth Hayes has no idea he’s the man who had her blindfolded and bound beneath him, Gage realizes things just got a lot more interesting.
He can have her body at night, giving her all the pleasure she begs for in a way he needs. And he can keep his heart, as well as his identity, out of their encounters.
After all, the absolute worst thing that could happen would be to have this sexy little reporter reveal how wicked he truly is.
