A Psychic Hitch

Professional Reviews

5 STARS: "I've read several books by Bekki Lynn now and I can say that the hallmark of her style is the sensitivity of her characters. If Allen were real I'd marry him!!! Oh wait, I'm already married, darn. I actually cried for Cheri when she revealed why she is shy of relationships and the end, well it was a twist worthy of a pretzel maker. I loved A Psychic Hitch and I dearly hope you will too, go read it today and see if I'm right." -- Valerie, Manic Readers

4.5 FLAGS: "Bekki Lynn's likeable characters come to life in this sometimes humorous, sometimes touching story of a woman who confers with a psychic. Desperately, she wants to have a child, but doesn't want to run off to the first sperm bank or jump mindlessly into bed with the first man she comes into contact with. Bringing a man into her life is not in the cards for her either...she thinks. I really enjoyed Bekki Lynn's writing style, which is unique and captivating. She has penned a cute, tongue-in-cheek story that will keep tickling your funny bone and keep you reading until the last page. It's a read to not be missed." -- Karen, Euro-Reviews

4.5 ROSES: "This may have been a short read but it packed quite a punch. Cheri wants to be a mother so badly and is willing to do almost anything to get her wish. She had her blinders on so when Allen came into the picture he just blindsided her. The sex scenes were hot but worked so well with the story. I love these types of books where the man just sweeps them off their feet. Every woman should be so lucky." --  Megan, The Romance Erotica Connection

4 BLUE RIBBONS: "The Psychic Hitch was a wonderful story about how two people meet in a unique way and find true happiness. I enjoyed reading The Psychic Hitch because of the characters and the twists in the book. I love to be surprised and that's what I was in this story. I never knew what was going to happen. I also like how Bekki Lynn was able to write about two characters that anyone can appeal to. I loved this book and can't wait to read more by her." --  Annie, Romance Junkies

4 CHERRIES: "This was a good read filled with a few twists and wonderful characters. I especially loved the character of Allen. Cheri is also an interesting character and more is revealed about her and her past with each page, but there is quite a bit of mystery surrounding her. From the interesting psychic encounter at the beginning to the touching final scene, overall this was a very enjoyable book." --  Lilac, Whipped Cream Reviews

4 Delightful Divas: "An intriguing blend of conflicted motivations makes this a well-paced story...it is balanced out nicely by amusing and realistic internal thought. None of this overwhelms great dialogue, the deep, well-developed protagonists, and the enticing chemistry and sultry love scenes which set reader's fingers to blazing and flipping the pages. There's no doubt Bekki Lynn is a clever and delightful storyteller. Readers will enjoy A Psychic Hitch!" --  Amber, Dark Diva Reviews

4 ANGELS: "A Psychic Hitch is the first book for author Bekki Lynn, her characters are engaging and easy to become involved with. A Psychic Hitch reminds us that sometimes what we planned isn't necessarily what we want. I'm looking forward to seeing what else Ms. Lynn has in store for us in the future." --  Rachel C., Fallen Angel Reviews

4 CUPS: "The heart of this story is wrenched by need, desire, and fear. Cheri is on a constant roller coaster of emotion, making her character desperate and on edge. Her battle to keep her heart safe leaves her raw and very much real. Allen is one tough cookie if he can take rejection after rejection, and still stick to his convictions. His love will have to be strong enough to tear down the walls Cheri has encased herself in. The sex is steaming hot, the emotions on overload, and the storyline a very compelling read." --  Lototy, Coffee Time Romance

"I found this to be a good read. Both characters were well developed, and each with their own agenda going in. This was an emotion packed story, with Cheri winning the prize for most neurotic confused heroine. I really felt for her, as she was swept along the tide of her emotional waves. Allen has to be the most confident guy ever to put up with her consistent refusals and then hot responses to his advances. If you like an emotional wringer, this is a perfect read for you. Well written and poignant at times, definitely worth the time. Oh, and the physical relationship is smokin'!" --  Christine, Simply Romance Reviews

"An extremely delectable hitch you will definitely become addicted to." --  Mark, Book Cove Reviews

Excerpt

 "I've never met him," she admitted.

"You came all this way to see a guy you don't know? Why?"

She studied him, not quite sure how to explain. Would he think her stupid or worse-label her as a nutcase? "We met in an online service and I thought.well, he seemed perfect. Too perfect to follow through on the terms, I guess." The thought of another wasted ovulation period threatened to depress her. She brushed her hands over her face to help wipe away the niggling fact she might never have the child she wanted.

"Terms?" He checked the cut and moved down on the floor. With his fingers, he checked the water temperature in the basin. "I need you to sit up and put your feet over the side of the bed."

She scooted, wincing as she moved her foot. He cupped the heel as it came over the side. Instinctively, she pulled it back. The movement pronounced the throb, but his touch intensified the ache between her thighs.

"Go on, tell me about the terms." Allen's hand slipped up to her calf as he wet a cloth and washed the blood from her foot.

Cheri took a deep breath and let it out with a whoosh. He tried to be gentle, but it hurt. "I want to have a baby, so I went to see a psychic friend of one of my sisters. She confirmed I'd have the child I want." Her breasts rose and fell when he ran the cloth between her toes. She'd never had anyone wash her feet before. Somehow it seemed intimate, sexual and a need spiraled through her midsection.

"And the problem is?" He dried her injured foot, being careful around the cut.

She jerked her foot when he again checked the depth, but he had a good hold on it. "It requires sperm to fertilize an egg."

"Yes, it does, but that wasn't what I meant."

He tried to hide the smirk by keeping his head lowered, but she saw it. "Since the man I came to meet didn't show, well, I can hardly produce it myself." She swallowed the thickness lacing her voice.

"Isn't that half the fun? Searching, getting to know someone, finding out if the chemistry is there, and setting up the meet to see if the online feelings flow into real time."

"I'm not looking for a relationship. It's a business deal. A weekend of free sex, and if conception occurs, he'll sign a contract freeing him of all rights and obligations."

"So, then, why not go to a sperm bank?"

"I have my reasons."

He tilted his head, eyeing her. "So, are you doing this because of the psychic?"

"No."

"I can't believe you'd have trouble finding volunteers where you live."

"It wouldn't work for me."

"So, you'd rather chance the history of a stranger than someone who could ease your mind about certain facts of family history?"

He touched the cut with the tip of his finger to apply the ointment. She groaned. "That stings."

"Sorry. I should have warned you." He set the tube down and picked up the butterfly bandages. "This is going to hurt, so take a deep breath and let it out." When he pressed the open wound closed, she sucked in air and held it. "Breathe, Cheri." She did, but gripped her thigh with tears in her eyes as she watched him put the Band-aids in place and tape a gauze pad over them. "Tomorrow, we'll let it air, but tonight let's keep it clean and dry." His hand massaged her foot and up her calf. Damn, she could get used to his bedside manner. "How does that feel?"

"It's fine. Thank you." Allen picked up her other foot and set it in the warm water, rubbing the sand off with his fingers. She looked up at him and saw the corners of his eyes twitch. He knew what he was doing to her.

"So, what other requirements need to be met for this prospective donor to fertilize you?"

The way he said it made it sound so cold, and maybe it was. It's the way she needed it to be. "Why? Are you offering?" She ran her tongue over her dry lips and watched him swallow.
