Me
Tarzan, You Jane
by
Camelia Miron Skiba
Moving
on doesn’t always have to mean goodbye.
Widowed
makeup artist Jane Sullivan is more comfortable keeping her husband’s memory
alive than dating a pool full of sharks. Ella, her 4 year-old daughter, is her
whole world.
When
Jane meets Lucas Oliver, famous cover model, it’s hate at first sight. His
playboy persona rubs her the wrong way.
Accustomed
to every woman fawning over him, Lucas is drawn to the shy, uncompromising
single mom and completely melts at the sight of Ella. He is determined to
convince Jane that sometimes a second chance can mend a broken heart.

Fun book. When it first started out,
I was afraid it was going to be shallow (lots of references to hot guys, etc)
but it turned out to be a thoughtful story with likable characters. I look
forward to reading more from this author. ~ Author Karey White
Great story! Loved Jane’s strength,
and learning the layers of “Tarzan.” This is a great story about moving on
after a tragedy and learning to trust again! ~ Author Sherry Gammon
I adored this book. The characters
were so alive for me that I was actually sad when the book ended. I wanted
more. Maybe the author will be kind enough to write about each of the male
models mentioned here … If your looking for a heartfelt story this is the book
for you. ~Solmarie
“Who’s
this lovely young lady?” Crouched next to Ella, Lucas looks like a giant. Dark
jeans stretch over his muscled thighs. I hear Lana sighing.
It
takes a lot of control not to grab my daughter and shelter her from Lucas. Take
her away where he can’t even see her, let alone talk to her.
“I’m
not allowed to talk to strangers, mister.” Ella looks at me for approval.
I
nod and smile at her, but my smile fades at Madame V’s words, “He’s not a
stranger, ma petite. He’s my friend
and your mommy lets you talk to him. Right, Jane?”
Lucas
looks at me for the first time since entering the room, one eyebrow as cocked
as his confidence.
“Right,”
I say between my teeth.
“My
name is Ella, Ella Rae Sulliban.” My
daughter extends her chubby hand and looks at Lucas with that expression I know
so well when someone piques her interest. Oh, no, not my daughter, too!
Lucas
takes her hand in his and kisses it, which earns him a giggle from Ella. “Oh,
Ella, Ella Rae Sullivan, are you a princess?” He squints his eyes. “Or maybe a
fairy? You look like one, you know? So beautiful, where did you come from?”
“From
my mommy’s belly.” Ella points toward me then adds, “And what’s your name,
mister?”
There’s
laugh behind Lucas’ covered mouth and I thank him silently for not laughing
aloud at Ella’s innocent answer.
“My
name is Lucas, Lucas Oliver. Pleased to meet you, Ella, Ella Rae Sullivan.”
Ella
giggles. “No, it’s only Ella Rae Sulliban.” She raises one finger, “Not Ella,
Ella Rae Sulliban.” Now there are two fingers up in the air right in front of
Lucas’ face.
“Isn’t
she adorable?” Madame V gets up from the chair and kneels next to Lucas and
Ella, even though I’m not done with her makeup, nor is Lana with the hairdo.
“We should put photos of her in the magazine, what do you think?”
Lucas
straightens and hooks both hands in his front pockets, the faded blue V-neck
shirt tight over his muscles. A playful smile breezes over his lips, but the
smile doesn’t reach his kiwi-green eyes. Staring at me he says, “She doesn’t do
photos.”
