How excited am I to tell you that ONE RECKLESS SUMMER is now on sale? Answer: very!
This is the first book in the Destiny series, a collection of stories all set in the same small town of Destiny, and I personally think it's my best book to date. And if that's not enough to entice you, check out the BEAUTIFUL cover! (This is the kind of cover that you dream of when you decide you want to be a romance novelist, and I finally got it!)

You can also read an excerpt at my website: www.ToniBlake.com , but meanwhile, here's the book's back blurb:
The perfect daughter. The perfect prom queen. The perfect wife. Jenny Tolliver’s been the good girl all her life, and it’s gotten her nowhere. Now that her marriage has been busted up by her cheating ex, she’s decided it’s time to regroup and rediscover herself. This summer she’s headed back to her hometown of Destiny, Ohio, to the very lakeshore cottage where she grew up, to figure out what life holds in store for her next.
She never dreamed the answer would be Mick Brody, Destiny’s #1 hellraiser. He comes from the wrong side of the tracks (or in his case, the lake), and he’s landed in hot water more times than he can count. He’s exactly the kind of guy Jenny’s always kept her distance from … but soon the good girl and the bad boy are caught in a raw heat that’s out of control. Too bad Mick’s got a secret that threatens to tear them apart and ruin Jenny’s perfectly, passionately reckless summer …

And here's what people are saying about it:
“Toni Blake's One Reckless Summer is one wild ride! This is just the book you want in your beach bag--it's sexy, emotional and filled with twists and turns that will keep the pages turning.” ~New York Times Bestselling Author Susan Wiggs
“I’ve found the perfect 2009 romantic beach read. Toni Blake’s latest is well-written, fast paced and puts the reader smack in the middle of a long, hot Destiny summer. One Reckless Summer is a bookshelf must. This is one you definitely don’t want to miss.” ~Donna, Bookishly Attentive
“A great plot. The way it ends will linger in your mind. You’ll look forward to more out-of-the-ordinary stories set in Blake’s small town.” ~Susan Mobley, Romantic Times, 4 STARS
“Emotionally charged, deeply sensual and wonderfully realistic, One Reckless Summer gives romance readers everything they could ever want in a romance. Every word she writes flows beautifully, forming a flawless plot. Bravo, Ms. Blake for another job well done.” ~Priscilla, Night Owl Reviews, 5/5 A REVIEWER TOP PICK
“With very spicy sex scenes, a very hot but very bad boy who just oozes sensuality, and a woman determined to get rid of her good girl persona, how could I not love this story?” ~Danielle, Coffee Time Romance & More, 5 CUPS

If you're a fan of my work, you won't want to miss this one - since it will introduce you many characters who you'll meet in future books, AND because I think Mick Brody is my ultimate bad boy hero (and, again, if you've read my past work, you know I've created a lot of bad boys, but Mick's the baddest of them all - at least in ways ; ) )

Oh, and I recently returned from the Big Island of Hawaii, so there's a new photo album on my page as well!
As always, thanks for your support, and for being one of my MySpace friends!
