HERE IS THE BLURB, ANOTHER LOOK AT THE COVER, AN EXCERPT, AND THE BUY LINKS:
A Very Holland Valentine (Holland Brothers #6)
by: Toni Griffin
Valentine's Day is fast approaching and with it the completion of the renovations to their home. None could be happier about this then Zack who can't wait to get away from Maryanne and all her fussing.
Plans are being finalised for all four couples for the happy day. However, sleezy tradies, an over protective mother-in-law, and unexpected complications throw spanners in the works.

HERE IS AN EXCERPT:
Simon
sat at his desk, looking over yet another financial report. The
numbers were swimming on the screen, all blurring into one large
incomprehensible blob. He pushed back from his desk and rubbed his
eyes. They were watering from staring at his computer for so long.
He
stood and walked to the window. The view wasn’t anything
breathtaking, but Simon still loved it anyway. He was on the first
floor and he could see the town he loved from his window.
His
mind wasn’t on his work. Rarely had been since he’d found out he
was going to be a father. Yes, he was already a dad. He loved Hayley
with all his heart and treated her as if she were his own. But the
utter joy he’d felt the morning they discovered Zack was carrying
had stayed with him all this time, even seven weeks later.
Dr.
Owens had examined Zack and let them know that he was due to deliver
at the end of February. Only
four
weeks
away and Simon couldn’t wait. He’d missed out on Hayley’s early
years, and after watching his brothers with their children, Simon
really couldn’t wait to hold his son or daughter. He was even
looking forward to the midnight feedings and the dirty diapers.
He
checked his watch. Seeing it was coming up for four in the afternoon,
Simon decided to call it a day. He didn’t usually leave that early,
but there was nothing in his tray that couldn’t wait for tomorrow,
and frankly, he couldn’t concentrate.
Simon
wanted to see his mate.
Zack
was stunning all swollen with his child. Zack might not think so, but
Simon did. The knowledge that he had filled his mate with his seed
and they had created life together struck at the heart of Simon. He
wanted to growl with pride every time he laid eyes on the love of his
life. He didn’t think the rest of his family would appreciate it,
though, so kept his triumphant growls to himself.
Simon
packed away his paperwork and shut down his computer. He pocketed his
phone and grabbed his car keys. On his way out,
he stopped at his personal assistant’s desk.
“Mara,
I’m taking the rest of the afternoon off.”
Mara
looked
up
from the papers she was reading through. “Everything okay,
boss?” She eyed
him quizzically.
He
couldn’t blame her, he didn’t often leave early. Although since
Hayley and Zack had come into his life,
he no longer stayed late well after everyone else had left like he
used to.
“Everything’s
fine. Just having some trouble concentrating and my eyes are starting
to hurt.” Simon
smiled. He couldn’t exactly tell her that he wanted to get home to
his pregnant mate and see how the man was doing. “Figured I’d
call it a day and come back tomorrow refreshed and ready for a new
day.”
“See
you in the morning, then.”
“Bye.”
Simon
felt better just walking out of work. The fact that he would soon get
to see Zack was a major factor in his cheerfulness. He decided to
stop at the local bakery on the way home and pick up one of the lemon
meringue pies Zack loved. Both Hayley and Simon enjoyed them as well,
but watching Zack eat a piece was nothing short of erotic. Simon
would have to make sure there was some left over and feed it to his
mate in bed tonight once Hayley was asleep.
He
could picture the way Zack would dart his tongue out to lick the
fork, making sure he gathered every last morsel of cake. The quiet
moan that would work its way out of Zack’s lips as he savoured the
sweet and tangy pie. The sight of his throat working as he swallowed.
Fuck!
Simon reached down to discreetly adjust his suddenly hard and aching
prick as he walked down the street toward the bakery. He couldn’t
wait to get home and get his mate alone in bed.
Living
under his mum and dad’s roof again after so many years had been a
major adjustment, especially because he now had Zack with him. He’d
never really thought about the logistics of making love to his mate.
The windows of the house were opened during the night to let the cool
breeze through. They used fans as well, but they didn’t make much
noise. There was no way in hell he wanted his folks to hear him
having sex,
so they had to keep things very sedate and quiet.
Simon
missed pounding his mate into the mattress. They had tried that the
night after they’d moved in and found the bed squeaked
outrageously. Zack had turned the most adorable shade of red and put
a stop to their actions almost immediately.
Not
that Simon was complaining. He loved his mate any way he could get
him. With Zack’s girth increasing steadily over the last month,
things had slowed down even further. The last thing Simon wanted to
do was hurt his mate or their cub in any way. Zack kept telling him
that he wouldn’t hurt them,
but Simon preferred
to err on the side of caution.
Tonight
would be an exercise in restraint for him, but he didn’t care. His
mate deserved a treat. He knew his mother was more than likely
driving his poor mate up the wall. Simon could remember what it was
like when they were growing up and one of them was injured in any
way. The woman turned into the world’s biggest mother hen. Now she
had one of her sons-in-law living under her roof and pregnant with
another of her grandcubs. Simon shuddered to think what she was like.
