Excerpt
#1
"He pauses for just a moment before picking me up and slamming my back against my jeep. I instinctively wrap my legs around his waist and loop my arms around his neck, locking my fingers. His hands are under my ass, his fingers digging into my skin while he pulls me as close to him as he possibly can. His mouth hits mine and the kiss we share is unlike any first kiss I have ever experienced. There is no hesitation in the way his lips work mine. There is no second thought in the way his tongue forces its way into my mouth, causing me to let out a moan that grows from my chest before it is released from my mouth into his. No, this first kiss isn't full of sweet promises of a second date and a happy relationship. This first kiss is filled with passion, want, and need; and the promise of a night that neither of us will ever want to forget. This first kiss is filled with a silent agreement that what happens from here on out will not be sweet and innocent, but dark and dirty in the best sense of the words. This kiss causes my blood to run hot through my veins and rush to my throbbing clit, wanting, no needing, Lucas’ master tongue to run over it and cause more moans to escape from my mouth. This kiss means Lucas Wade is going to fuck me tonight. And I can’t wait."
#2
"This beautiful little woman, my firecracker, my salvation, my Red, has saved me in ways she will never know. I love her. Without a fucking doubt, I know I love her, but I don’t know how to say it. That four-letter word that is printed on so many Valentine’s Day cards and so often thrown around like it means nothing, doesn’t seem like enough to convey to her what I feel. But I have to try. I have to try to get her to understand what she means to me.
I run my fingers through her wet hair, causing her face to look up at mine. “Dani, I—I—”
“Lucas, I love you too.”
I kiss her already swollen mouth. That is why I love her, because she can find the words for me when I can’t."
Review
Dani ends a shameful relationship, and with the help of her outspoken mother, moves to Moroe, Louisiana where she starts working at a bar.
Lucas is the love 'em and leave 'em kind of guy, he has hook ups but he doesn't do relationships.
One night while at the bar where Dani works their paths cross and Lucas seeing that Dani has zero experience when it comes to bartending offers to help her in exchange for a date.
Their sexual chemistry is there from the beginning and even though they promised not to fall in love, sometimes life has completely different plans.
The story is well written as well as the characters, my problem is that I had a hard time connecting with Dani at the beginning.
The relationship she's running from and the damaged she helped create put me off. This might not be a problem for some people but I found that it put her under a bad light from the get go in my eyes.
That said, everyone has the right to redeem themselves and start over and that's exactly what she did.
Lucas has a few issues himself, one moment you want to hug him and the next you want to smack the hell out of him.
A special mention goes to Danni's mom, what a fantastic character she was! She was the perfect combination of nurturing mother, supportive friend and number one fan. Definitely my favorite character in this book.
The author takes you through a variety of very strong emotions that keeps you glued to the book from the beginning. Definitely worth the read.
Four stars read for me.
