Just My Type: The Bradfords, Book 3

Just My Type: The Bradfords, Book 3 Review



Secretly wanting her—no problem. Her not-so-secretly wanting him—big trouble.

The Bradfords, Book 3

There’s only one problem with the woman Jason “Mac” Gordon wants: his best friend’s little sister is off limits. Way off limits, and too young and innocent for the likes of him. From past experience, he’s learned to hide his not-so-nice preferences from the nice girls he seems to attract. That definitely includes the woman he’s always thought of as a sister. At least until recently.

Sara Bradford always gets what she wants—which is partly Mac’s fault. After all, he helped spoil her. So she has no intention of taking his no for an answer on anything—least of all his refusal to sleep with her. He thinks she’s too innocent? Fine. She’ll simply get un-innocent and show Mac that she wants him—the good, the bad and the nipple clamps.

When Mac’s plan to drive her away works too well, he’s forced to follow her to a tropical paradise, determined to make sure she doesn’t find her wild side with anyone but him. Once she gets a real taste of what he likes, he’s sure everything will go back to normal.

That’s until he discovers a slight kink, er, flaw in his logic…

Warning: Contains hot sex at the beach, kinky online shopping—and yes, cotton-candy-flavored body powder does exist.

Your Blood Type and Your Health
Have you ever wondered why your best friend can eat a thick juicy steak with no discomfort, but one bite, and you're immediately bloated and feeling horrible? The explanation may be as simple as your blood type - scientists know that people with blood type O have significantly higher levels of stomach acid than people with blood type A, making that steak easier for people with blood type O to digest. Or maybe your blood type AB spouse feels sluggish after eating roast chicken for Sunday dinner - were you aware that chicken causes type AB blood to clump together? These are just two examples illustrating how your blood type gene influences your health, your digestion and even your immune system. In 1996, Dr. Peter J. D'Adamo published Eat Right for Your Type, a New York Times best seller that has hovered at the top of Amazon's best selling health books for 16 years. His theory that your blood type has an overwhelming influence on your health has been lauded by both scientists and the people who continue to live and eat according to their type.

Dr. Peter D'Adamo is a naturopathic physician and author of 18 books on health and nutrition and numerous scientific articles. He is a frequent speaker at medical conferences and the Director of the newly formed Center of Excellence in Generative Medicine at the University of Bridgeport in Connecticut. He is a member of the AANP and was selected as their Physician of the Year in 1990. He maintains a private medical practice in Wilton, Connecticut.

Kristin O'Connor is a chef, cooking show producer and nutritional consultant. After suffering from multiple health conditions that were unsuccessfully treated with traditional medicine, she sought alternative means of healing and changed her diet according to Dr. D'Adamo's protocol. In doing so, her perspective on food and cooking changed dramatically and inspired her to help others on their path to healthy living through good nutrition. She has developed shows for the Food Network and the Cooking Channel and acts as a consultant, helping families who have been placed on restrictive diets to adapt to their new dietary guidelines.
