Great Sass (Family Ties Series Book 1) Kindle Edition

4.6 out of 5 stars 266 ratings

A sassy bartender. A former Coast Guard rescue swimmer. And a whole lot of unresolved tension.

Sadie Dahl has mastered the art of sarcasm and self-preservation, using quick wit and humor to keep people at arm’s length. That is, until Elijah Townsend-Rossi crashes into her life—literally—and refuses to leave.

Elijah has faced life-or-death situations, but nothing could have prepared him for the whirlwind that is Sadie. With her sharp tongue and a heart she keeps locked away, she’s unlike anyone he’s ever met. And for some reason, he can’t stay away.

As sparks fly and walls crumble, past traumas resurface, forcing them to confront the fears that have kept them apart. But when danger threatens Sadie, Elijah is done waiting—he’ll protect her at any cost.

Great Sass is a heartwarming, hilarious, and steamy romance packed with banter, slow-burn tension, and a protective hero who will stop at nothing for the woman he loves.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I’m a British author who grew up all over the world. My parents were diplomats, so we were posted to all of the corners of the earth and it was a blast. Some wouldn’t seem so awesome if you heard about them, but my parents always made it a fun experience and it molded my brother and I into who we are today.

I live in Wiltshire in the west country of the UK. At random times of the day, I’ll hear a moo from the fields around me, or get a whiff of that…uhhh…’country air’, and I love it! I might not have grown up in the UK, but I’m a British girl to the bone (regardless of the suspicious whiffs coming in from the fields).

I’m a single mother with a son who is nearing his teenage phase. Maybe he’s reached it early? Who knows. But he’s awesome and has a personality and sense of humor that I can only attribute to my family. We’re slightly bonkers, we have a wicked sense of humor and we find the positives in every situation. I’m so proud to be his mum and to watch him grow and mature.

Writing was something that I’d always done. I had a teacher in the third grade who always set us the task of writing a story and making it into a book every weekend. After I left school, I kept this up and wrote as often as I could or just plotted out books. This evolved into me taking the plunge and publishing my first book in 2016 and I’ve been typing ever since.

I’m proud to be an Indie Author, and I absolutely love writing out my crazy Providence characters and the more complex ones in my other series’. It doesn’t matter if it’s romantic comedy or something with more suspense – so long as it has a HEA I’ll do it!

I’ve got so many more planned, so the best is yet to come.

    And it won't be the last. I loved GREAT SASS. Her characters were believable and wonderfully flawed and funny. I am now going to read more of Ms. Moore's books. Yes I mean book (s). It is so very nice to find a great new novelist with many of her books in print.

    I am enjoying this author so far, but I have to say the editing is annoying as a few homonyms have squeaked by uncorrected. Also, in this book there are so many references to family and events from apparently prior books that are not explained--its all very confusing! For this reason I could not give this book 5 stars. Please do not assume the reader has all the background!

    As per usual I couldn't stop laughing and smiling with these Townsend-Rossi! Sadie has got to be one of the funniest and cutest female character. Elijah quietly appeared in other family member's book but I knew I was going to like this alpha ex Coast Guard. Watching Mary layer each story and keeping the previous characters involved is the biggest reason I keep coming back to Gonzalez Co.

    Sadie and Elijah both had some major demons they each had to fight. But between a large and rowdy extended family they didn't have to go at it alone. These two had a lot of chemistry and trust between them with several ahh moments.

    Please visit Providence, Piersville and Gonzalez County you will be glad you did.

    I do want to be a part of this huge family. Grandpa Hurst I do need in my life he's a hoot.
    The storyline just flowed, lol moments, with some angsty parts and oh the sex scenes woohoo!
    Highly recommend this author. She's a one-click author for myself.
    Can't wait to read what's next.
    Thanks Jamie Nibarger Ellis

    Okay granted, not the whole book but enough that I was snort-laughing through large chunks of it. I liked that the H and h weren't perfect, alone or together, but sweet overall. Enjoyed, would definately recommend.

    This is Eli Townsend’s book …

    Sadie moves from the UK to start fresh after a traumatic incident. Eli is coming to terms with the death of his best friend. Together they work to face and conquer their demons.

    We see cameos from almost all of the Townsends (as is typical of the Providence series).
