Synopsis:

As the successful and driven CEO of Lewis Sporting Goods, Dillon rarely has time to eat a home cooked meal, let alone put any time or effort into maintaining an actual relationship. He's been living on fumes and casual encounters for so long that finding love and starting a family never even crossed his mind, until his cousins Gabe and Reardon found women who gave them both.

Laurel has been in love with Dillon since she was nine years old. Unfortunately, he's always seen her as his little sister's pesky best friend. She can't stop her heart from beating frantically whenever he's near, but she's become an expert at keeping her feelings from everyone, especially Dillon. Her secret has been safe, until now...

When Laurel needs help with her business plan, her best friend urges her to seek help from Dillon. Determined to push her feelings aside and focus on her fledgling business, Laurel knows she needs to do whatever it takes to succeed, even if it means being treated to indifference and big brother teasing from the man she loves.

Can Laurel work with Dillon and still keep her heart intact, or will things get Too Distracting when Dillon realizes what a beautiful, kind, and generous woman she has become?

Too Distracting is the third in an all-new small-town romance series by Bethany Lopez. Follow the Lewis cousins as they learn about love and loss in Cherry Springs, the kind of place where there are festivals for every occasion and everyone knows your business.

Excerpt:

Dillon

“Look who the cat dragged in,” Gabe said when he caught sight of me, standing to clap me on the back. “Didn’t know if you’d made it back today or not.”

“Got back this morning,” I replied, turning my attention to our other cousin, Reardon, who’d stood to give me a hug.

Reardon was huge. At six feet six inches, he towered over my six three. I could tell he’d went home from the office before coming here, because rather than a suit, he was wearing jeans and a Walking Dead T-shirt.

“Glad you’re home,” Reardon said with a grin as he took his seat.

“Only for about two weeks, then I have to go to Chicago for a few days. There’s a convention that I’ve been wanting to attend. The only downfall is the charity event they’re doing this year is a formal dinner and ballet. So, not only do I have to put on a monkey suit, and find a plus one, but I have to watch a ballet. Why the heck are they having a ballet at a sporting conference anyway?” I grumbled as I slid into the booth.

“Because dance is a sport, you block head,” my sister said as she came to stand next to our booth.

Never one to pass up the chance to needle my twin I said, “Yeah, you would think that.”

Jasmine’s jaw clenched and the famous red-head temper that we both shared was about to let loose on me.

I shot her a grin, to egg her on all the more, but Gabe broke in and said, “You know he’s just giving you shit, Jazzy.  How about you join us for a drink?”

TOO DISTRACTING (LEWIS COUSINS #3) BY BETHANY LOPEZ
REVIEW BY THERESA ESTERLINE
STARS: 5

Pranks can be harmless... The Lewis Cousins are back! Two of the five have met their match and next up is Dillon. This story will have you laughing, angry with the bad boyfriend and evil parents, and hoping for forgiveness. As in any relationship, communication is key! Though these two dance around they are also pretty direct, so nice change of pace. And now a bit about the story... Dillon has the house, he wants kids, now just to find the right woman. Also back in town is his sister's best friend, she tortured him with her pranks and now he's agreed to help her with her business plan. Laurel drives him crazy, he tries to avoid her at all costs. Of course then he saw her in the bar without knowing it was he and thought about taking her home. Then there was that dress she wore to their last meeting. Lord she was going to kill him! If you remember from book 2, Laurel has been in love with Dillon since she was nine. Can he get over the pranks??? Favorite passage: Oh my God, I can’t believe I just did that, seemed to be my theme of the night.

TOO TEMPTING (LEWIS COUSINS #1) BY BETHANY LOPEZ
REVIEW BY THERESA ESTERLINE
STARS: 4

Temptations, temptations... Funny romance with a hint of drama. I enjoyed the story being told from both perspectives. The budding romance tempted or main characters, while the red vines tempted me and I'm sad to say I didn't have any on hand. And now a bit about the story... Imagine signing up to volunteer at your nephew's summer camp, but you get the dates mixed up. Now to make sure this is really Camp Gabriel Lewis and not Camp Crystal Lake! On the other hand, imagine seeing a beautiful and lost woman wondering around your camp. Gabe had a strict no girl or boy friends at the camp start up, but Zoey was about to break many of his rules... Favorite passages: - It looked like that’s what we had to do for the good things in life … wait. - I guess you didn’t know what you were missing until you had a taste of it.

TOO COMPLICATED (LEWIS COUSINS #2) BY BETHANY LOPEZ
REVIEW BY THERESA ESTERLINE
STARS: 5

CAMP MAY BE OVER, BUT THE COMPLICATIONS ARE JUST GETTING STARTED!!

TOO COMPLICATED PICKS UP SHORTLY AFTER TOO TEMPTING ENDS. YOU COULD READ THIS STANDALONE, BUT KNOWING THE HISTORY I APPRECIATED READING THEM IN ORDER. THIS IS A CRAZY FUNNY STORY, I LAUGHED OUT LOUD COUNTLESS TIMES. IT IS TENDER AND LOVING, DARING, COMPLICATED, WITH A TOUCH OF FRUSTRATION. AND NOW A BIT ABOUT THE STORY...

THE LEWIS AND ZAHN CLANS ARE BOTH BACK AND NOW LIVING IN CHERRY SPRINGS. A FEW COUSINS STILL HAVEN'T MOVED BACK FULL TIME, BUT MOST ARE BACK. THIS STORY FEATURES CHLOE AND REARDON, BUT HAS CARRYOVER FOR GABE AND ZOEY, PLUS HINTS AT WHAT'S COMING NEXT. REARDON HAS LOVED CHLOE SINCE HE FIRST SAW HER 14 YEARS AGO, BUT SHE PICKED GABE. FOOTBALL STUD OVER GEEKY LAWYER, STORY OF HIS LIFE... BUT SHE WAS BACK AND GABE WAS TAKEN. NOW TO WORK HIS MAGIC ON HER BEFORE SOMEONE ELSE SNATCHES HER UP FIRST!

FAVORITE PASSAGES:
- “YOU CAN’T JUST ROLL OVER AT HER FEET AND BEG HER TO SCRATCH YOUR BELLY. WOMEN LIKE A CHALLENGE.”
- “BABY, WIN OR LOSE, I’LL MOUNT ANYTHING YOU’D LIKE.”
