*~Book Tour: Special Delivery~*


Special Delivery
Mill Pond #6
by Judi Lynn
Genre: Contemporary Romance


In Mill Pond, Indiana, neighbors always look out for each other. And even though tourists are drawn to the small town’s charms, it’s the locals who fill it with warmth . . .
Traveling nurse Karli Redding doesn’t have many fond memories of her aging grandfather, Axel—or of Mill Pond. But with Axel’s health in decline and Karli on a month’s hiatus between jobs, she volunteers to set him up with the help he needs. The house and her grandfather could both use some TLC. Good thing Keagan Monroe, the very attractive mailman next door, is always ready to lend a hand…
Not a lot slips by a mailman, and Keagan appreciates Karli’s dogged attempts to spruce up the neglected property. Painting, fixing the sagging porch, delivering a constant stream of casseroles from caring neighbors—he’ll help however he can, all while keeping his feelings under wraps. A short-term fling just doesn’t fit into his schedule. But with each passing day, Karli’s bond with the town grows a little deeper. Has fate sent her exactly where she needs to be? Karli’s willing to find out, and the first step is figuring out the perfect route to Keagan’s heart…

She was eating at the wooden table in the kitchen with the oven on, soaking in the heat, when a mouse ran over her foot.  
“Holy crap!”  She wouldn’t let herself jump on a chair.  She was a grown woman, and she wouldn’t scream over a mouse.  But she wanted to.  
“You okay?”  Words she never thought she’d hear Axel utter.  
“A mouse just ran over my foot.”
He grunted.  “Yeah, they come in about this time of year when it gets cold outside.”
She walked to the door to talk to him.  “How do you catch them?”
“There are some traps in the broom closet.”
She wrinkled her nose.  “I’m not going around the house to collect little dead bodies.”
“Suit yourself.”
She frowned at him.  “There must be something else.”
“Mice leave when there’s a cat in a house, but when you leave, you take the damned thing with you.”
“I don’t want a cat.”
“Then kill the mice or start naming them.”
She glowered toward Kurt.  “Mice are a man’s job.  He should deal with them.”
Kurt finished a beer and swiped at his mouth with the back of his hand.  “They don’t bother me.”
“They’re disgusting.  They spread disease and multiply faster than rabbits.”
He shrugged.  “They don’t eat that much.  Put some cheese out for them.”
She turned and stalked back to the kitchen.  The idiots!  She wasn’t about to start every day by sweeping away mouse turds.

  1. Thanks so much for hosting my book! Much appreciated. My daughters had pet mice when they were little, and they were great pets, but wild mice running helter skelter are a different matter. Time for a cat!

    2. Our last cat refused to hunt. He was a pacifist:) A baby squirrel fell out of the tree and he gently carried it to us to help it.
