Blog Tour, Exclusive Excerpt & Giveaway: Got Me Hoping by Casey Cox
Vet Shop Boys, Book 1
It’s just a one-night stand, they said. It’ll be simple, no-strings fun, they said. They. Lied.
I’m done with love and being broken-hearted. The only dogs I want to deal with are the ones I treat in the veterinary clinic I work at.
But at thirty-four, having my first one-night stand can’t hurt. Right? The rules are pretty simple.
1. Don’t spend the night. 2. Don’t see him again. 3. Don’t share anything personal. 4. Don’t fall in love with him.
But when Haze, the guy I spent a blazing hot night with and haven’t been able to forget about, shows up as our new receptionist, the rules fly out the window.
There’s no way one night could lead to anything more. So why has Haze got me hoping this might just last?
Got Me Hoping is book 1 in the Vet Shop Boys series and can be read as a stand-alone. Expect plenty of humor, found family, an adorable golden retriever, a foul-mouthed parrot, a whole new way of getting clean (as well as very, very dirty) and a heartwarming happily ever after!

Haze’s eyes narrow. “I find that hard to believe. You’re freaking gorgeous.” He glides a hand over my bicep, and when he looks up at me, the desire in his eyes is hard to miss. “Is this your way of asking me to be your first one-night stand?” Haze pulls out his bun and reties his hair as he waits for me to respond. My breathing gets heavy, and I’m overcome with a feeling I haven’t felt in years. Desire. I consider his question. Is that what’s happening here? Is this what I want? Deciding to take a chance, I place my hand on his knee, gently toying with a loose thread below the rip. The warmth of his body radiates through the denim. “Yeah. I guess it is.” He runs his fingers down his stubbled jaw. My heart’s beating out of my throat as I wait for his response. God, I hope I haven’t completely misread the situation. “In that case, I would be honored to be your first time.” A rush of relief sweeps through me. “First one-night stand,” I clarify. “I’m not a virgin.” “Good.” Haze leans in even closer and smirks against my ear. “My spectacular cock and I are very happy to hear that.” “So how do we do this? Whose place do we go back to?” I ask. Haze reaches across the bar and chugs the rest of his beer. He wipes the back of his hand against his lips. “Has your place got walls?” There’s something sleek and graceful about the way he moves, and I find my eyes drifting again to the bracelets that adorn his wrists. I’m so distracted I could have sworn he’d asked me if my place has walls. I lift my eyes to his face. “Sorry? Missed that.” He blinks and repeats, “Does your place have walls?” Nope, didn’t mishear him. “Uh… Yeah, it has walls. Doors and windows, too, if that helps,” I throw in with a snicker. “Great. It’s settled then.” He shrugs his jacket on and flashes me a wide grin. “Your place it is.”

About the Author
I’ve been wanting to do this ‘authoring’ thing since forever. But this thing called ‘life’ kept getting in the way. And then this thing called ‘turning 40’ happened. Eep!
So I did what any responsible newcomer to middle-age-hood would do: I quit my day job, started drinking copious amounts of coffee, and reconnected with my life long passion–donuts, er, I mean writing.
So here I am. And there you are… Hello!
I live on the east coast of Australia, I’m the proud paw-rent of two of the most utterly adorable French Bulldogs, Ralphie and Lilly, and when I’m not writing, you’ll most likely catch me down at the beach (I’m the one drinking Rosé and eating donuts while other people are doing healthy things like ‘walking’ and ‘swimming’).
