Blog Tour for Shy of Tomorrow by S.H. Pratt






Shy of Tomorrow by S.H. Pratt 

Release date: July 15, 2014

Synopsis:

Circumspect… Reserved… Shy…
To call Kylee Anne Davidovich any of those would be an understatement.  Bookish and quiet, the librarian was content to remain that way.  Bullied and tormented by vain and jealous sisters; misused and abused by the opposite sex, Kylee had found a warm haven in her job and her books.  Supported by her best friend, Marin, and surrounded by the books she loved, Kylee didn’t need more… Until Mr. Hunk.
Jeremy Campbell knew the devious side to women, knew how they hunted and trapped the men they preyed on.  Hiding scars from the woman who still haunted him, the semi-retired computer analyst, studiously avoided serious relationships and the most dangerous trap of all… love.
From the moment Jeremy saw Kylee working at the Timberland library, he knew she was different.  Roaming the shelves of romance books where he could watch the beautiful librarian, Jeremy tried to find a way into Kylee’s world.
Unsure of Jeremy’s intentions and unwilling to allow herself to be used again, Kylee struggled against her desire to believe that he was really interested in her.  After learning the true depth of her sisters’ pettiness, Kylee takes a chance with Jeremy, but in a moment of unguarded honesty, her faith in him is pushed to the breaking point.  
Heartsick and broken, Kylee works to overcome her shattered dreams with Marin faithfully at her side.  Horrified and tormented by his past, Jeremy breaks the one promise that he swore to Kylee.  Can Jeremy put his ghosts to rest before he loses Kylee forever or will he always be one moment shy of tomorrow?








Excerpt: 

“Why don’t you ever look up?” The voice was low and deep and it washed over Kylee like a warm wave of melted chocolate. She gasped and slowly raised her eyes to meet his eyes, noticing as she did that those eyes were beautiful; a captivating color somewhere between blue and grey that made her think of the way the sky fell to the sea in a heavy storm. Kylee stood frozen, her mind blank, her fingers unsure of what their purpose was. “I know you have a voice, I’ve heard it, but never with me,” he spoke again and Kylee felt the heat rise higher in her cheeks. She opened her mouth to give some witty comeback, but her mind remained utterly and completely blank and useless. Kylee knew her eyes must have been the size of dinner plates and breathing was hit or miss at this point, making her feel light headed. “Have I offended you?” Mr. Hunk asked. Kylee snapped her mouth shut since her brain couldn’t see fit to give it words and shook her head. Somehow, Kylee’s hands remembered that they were supposed to be scanning books and resumed the task by rote, her eyes never leaving the stormy depths of his stunning eyes. “Are you afraid of me?” At this question, Kylee closed her eyes and lowered her head as tears threatened to overcome her. He was so gorgeous and he was talking to her and there were so many things she wanted to say, but none of those things occurred to her and now he thought she was afraid of him. Oh, how she hated being shy! “Are you?” he asked again. Kylee swallowed hard, blinking back the tears as she finished scanning the last book and placed them in the bag he’d put on the counter. Slowly, tremulously, Kylee raised her head and shook it again. To her amazement, a slow smile blossomed on his handsome, chiseled face and Kylee thought for sure that her heart was going to cease beating entirely. What she’d thought was stunning before had morphed into the epitome of perfection as he showed her straight, white teeth and two deeper than the Grand Canyon dimples. “So if you aren’t offended or afraid, may I assume that you are shy?” Mr. Hunk surmised. Kylee wanted to die, with his fabulous dimples burned into her brain, right then and there at the accuracy of his conclusion. Her mouth began trying to make words again, but as before, her mind refused to give any and he chuckled softly. 
“You’re cute. Thank you for the books… until tomorrow.”

Review by Gia:
Shy of Tomorrow was a great read!!!  Kylee is a librarian that loves books.  She is shy and bookish.  Jeremy is cool and confident and oozes sexiest.  He is absolutely sweet, librarian, and just all around wonderful.   I was waiting for something really bad to come out about him.  There is something is Jeremey's past that he doesn't like to talk about. 
I loved reading this story and seeing Jeremy how Jeremy got Kylee to come out of her shell.  The excerpt above is actually one of the favorite parts in the book.   I had that page bookmarked.  I loved how when Kylee gets tough tongue tied and doesn't know what to say, they refer to it as brain to mouth malfunction. 
Shy of Tomorrow is a really sweet read!
4 Amazeballs Stars!!!!
