REVIEW – ON A TUESDAY by Whitney G.

SYNOPSIS

We met on a Tuesday.
Became best friends, then lovers, on a Tuesday.
And everything fell apart on a Tuesday… 

Charlotte Taylor has three automatic strikes in my book: 1) She hates me. She also claims that I’m a “domineering jerk with a huge, overbearing ego.” (I do have something huge. It’s not my ego, though.) 2) She takes our mandatory tutoring sessions way too seriously. 3) She’s sexy as hell…And a virgin.

At least, those were her strikes before our study sessions started lasting longer than they were supposed to. Until one innocent kiss became a hundred dirty ones, and until she became the first woman I ever fell hard for.

Our future together after graduation was supposed to be set:
Professional football for me. Law school for her.

But she left me at the end of the semester with no explanation, and then she completely disappeared from my life.

Until tonight.

We met on a Tuesday.
Became everything, then nothing, on a Tuesday.
And now it’s seven years later, on a Tuesday… 

**This is a full length second chance romance, inspired by Adele’s “When We Were Young”**

Grayson 

To this day, I’d never loved anyone the way I loved her. Hell, I honestly hadn’t “loved” anyone since her because no other woman ever compared, and it still made me angry whenever I remembered that she never had the decency to give me damn goodbye.

Charlotte 

As he pulled me closer, I warned myself that no matter what he said to me tonight, our past was long gone and it was never coming back. All of our former “Tuesdays” and hell even this Tuesday were no more and I wasn’t going to fall for it.

 

 

Whitney G. is an author whose books I automatically categorize as MUST-READS. She made me a fangirl for life with her Reasonable Doubt series and if you’ve ever had the good fortune of meeting her at a book signing, you know she is a genuinely sweet person who really adores her readers. I know that when I dive into a Whitney G. book, I am going to get a deliciously steamy and fabulous romantic comedy. I don’t think there has been a Hero she has created yet that I haven’t fallen madly in love with and I can safely say after having read ON A TUESDAY, I’ve got yet another book boyfriend to add to my top favorites shelf!

This is a second chance love story between two college sweethearts who somehow end up going their separate ways after graduation only to reunite seven years later. The book is told in alternating POVs and transitions from the past, which is during their senior year of college and then fast forwards to the present which is seven years later. We learn early on that Charlotte and Grayson have not let go of the past and they each believe that they were wronged by the other. It’s clear that major deception is at play here and as the story unfolds I believe most of you will figure out what happened before the big reveal.

 

 

Charlotte and Grayson have been going to the University of Pittsburgh for nearly four years but only just met during their senior year as Charlotte ends up being Grayson’s designated tutor for his Women’s Literature classes. While Grayson is almost instantly smitten with his beautiful and intelligent tutor, Charlotte is more than irritated and not at all impressed by Grayson’s extreme good looks or by the fact that he is one of the most talented college football quarterbacks and number one draft pick of the NFL. She knows he’s quite the player and Charlotte isn’t willing to ultimately get her heartbroken by taking a chance on Grayson who will without a doubt dump her once he’s gotten his fill of her. What she doesn’t know and takes entirely too long to realize is that most of her opinions of Grayson are based on rumors and he is quite possibly the ”real deal”. The two meet up every Tuesday in one of Charlotte’s favorite coffee houses for their study sessions and with each passing Tuesday Grayson’s charming and flirtatious personality is having an effect on her. I swooned hard over all the endearing romantic gestures Grayson made towards Charlotte.

They finally get on the same page and are soon falling deeply in love. But then after graduation, something happens that tears the couple apart, leaving both Charlotte and Grayson utterly devastated until they meet again at their seven-year college reunion.

 

 

Old feelings once buried come back to the surface even stronger than before, and with a little bit of soul searching it’s apparent that the love they once had never left their hearts. Will they be able to work things out or is what they had broken and irreparable?

I really enjoyed Grayson and Charlotte’s story but I only wish the book was just a tiny bit longer. I felt the ending was rushed and it was so easy to figure out what caused their breakup early on. Now that being said, I would still recommend this one because I am a sucker for sports romances and ladies you need to meet Grayson Connors!

Here are my overall ratings on the book:

Hero: 5
Heroine: 3.5
Plot: 4
Angst: 4
Steam: 4
Chemistry Between Hero & Heroine: 5

*****Mel’s Review*****
4 Stars!

 

Charlotte Taylor is a pre-law/art major at the University of Pittsburgh. She meets Heisman Trophy winner, & the #1 college star quarterback in the country, Grayson Connors, when her advisor assigns her as his literature tutor. She doesn’t like him, & isn’t happy about being stuck with him. He’s known for his touchdowns & being loved by the ladies. She thinks he’s a cocky, entitled jerk who’s full of himself. She judges him by his success & reputation, and assumes he must have an out of control ego to match his good looks & talent.

Grayson takes one look at the sexy, prickly, good girl Charlotte, & is intrigued. He’s so ridiculously attracted to her, & pursues her hard. He wants to date her, but she makes it clear she isn’t interested. He’s never had to work so hard for a girl & isn’t used to being rejected, but he doesn’t give up. He can’t figure what he ever did to make her dislike him so much.

 

Their study sessions begin lasting longer & longer, and Grayson begins to grow on Charlotte. There’s more to him than she originally thought, & he’s so gorgeous, she can’t stop fantasizing about him. Soon a kiss changes everything between them. They become extremely attached to one another, & make plans for a future together after graduation. Then she unexpectedly disappears from his life at the end of the semester with no explanation. He’s heartbroken & tries for years to find her with no luck. They lead separate lives, & then seven years later their paths cross again & Grayson wants a second chance. He’s never forgotten her, and he’s determined not to let her get away again. He wants to pick up where they left off.

Whitney G. knows how to create a swoony, delicious book boyfriend! Grayson Connors was your typical, popular football star, & Charlotte was the bookworm virgin. Classic case of opposites attract & crazy hot chemistry. I just loved Grayson!

 

-I couldn’t deny that Grayson Connors was sexy as hell.

-“I want to be with you and only you, and even though you want to deny it, I know you feel the same way.”

-“I fell in love with you months after we met in college, and I knew then that you were the only one for me.”

Excerpt:

Sawyer

My throat tightened and a heaviness grew in my chest like my heart didn’t know whether to beat faster or stop beating altogether. “Did you leave me all this to show me the life you could’ve had, but didn’t? Why!?” I pounded the wheel again and then again, and again and again until my vision was blurry and all I could see was the redness of my own heated rage. “You’re a fucking coward! You fucking COWARD!” I screamed to no one, pounding on the wheel until the skin across my knuckles split and blood dripped between my fingers.

Strong hands bit into my biceps, yanking me from the cab. I was spun around by my shoulders and found myself face to face with Finn. “I like it when you swear,” he said, pressing close.

“Finn, get off me! Get off me! Let me go!” I wailed, struggling to free myself from his grip. Kicking out my legs only to connect with the air as he evaded my every move.

A growl tore from his throat. Finn picked me up and walked me to the back of the truck, setting me on the open tailgate. He pushed himself between my legs and hovered over me to keep me from leaping off.

“Let me go,” I demanded, pushing at his hard chest. “I don’t have time for your broodiness right now.”

Finn held my wrists together with one hand. “No, of course you don’t. You’re too busy tearing up pictures and screaming at no one.”

“Let me go,” I repeated.

“No,” he said between clenched teeth.

“Just go! Leave me alone. Leave meeeeeee!” I wailed as I pounded against his stone chest.

“You don’t want to hit me,” he warned, his eyes hardened.

“Then let me go.”

“Why?” He stepped in closer, unaffected by my attempt to fight against him. My inner thighs were touching his outer thighs.

“Because she did!” I screamed, my eyes sprang open to find his cold blue gaze. “She could have run anywhere and taken me with her. Instead she left him but she left me too. She was a coward who couldn’t make the right decision and I love her. I love her…but I hate her. I hate her so much…so…” I was interrupted when Finn’s lips pressed against mine, momentarily rendering me stupid. I pointed my toes toward the sky to avoid my initial instinct which was to wrap my legs around him. It was so consuming that I momentarily forgot to fight him off, but I didn’t need to, he pulled his lips from mine.

“Stop doing that,” I said. I pushed him off but he stayed between my legs, his hands on my bare back just under the hem of his big t-shirt I was wearing. His gaze hardened. I could see the conflict written in his lined forehead and the deep V between his eyes. I had no doubt the conflict had everything to do with me.

And kissing me.

“It’s your fault that I do it,” Finn said, his voice deep and smooth against my chin and then my neck.

“So that’s your plan? Kiss me every time you want to shut me up?” I asked, still feeling every bit of my anger but also feeling something else. Something that sent tingles between my legs and an ache in my core. “Thank you for saving me. Really. Thank you. I appreciate it,” my voice cracked. “But you can just leave me alone now. And please, STOP kissing me.” My words a whisper.

“I’m going to kiss you whenever I want to kiss you,” Finn stated as if I didn’t have a say in the matter.

The early morning sunlight highlighted the beads of sweat trickling from his shoulders down his broad chest and across the valleys of his defined abs. He was standing so close that we were breathing in each other’s air.

“Whenever you want to kiss me?” I laughed. “I don’t understand you. I don’t understand any of this. You’re always mad at me. Why did you save me? Why do you keep kissing me when you’re always mad at me?”

“It’s when I’m pissed off at you that I want to kiss you the most,” Finn said, his voice flowing over my skin like a silky blanket. He slid me closer so I could feel the outline of his rigid erection as if he were proving a point. He lowered his lips to mine and consumed my mouth in a greedy kiss that had me shaking with need and spinning with confusion.

“Do you always kiss everyone you hate?” I asked, yanking my lips from his.

“Does this feel like hate to you?” he growled pushing his hard length between my legs.

*****Dee’s Review*****

FOUR STORMY STARS ****

When you read a T.M Frazier book you should know that she is going to shock you with a jaw dropping story, you should also know, that her poignant writing will transport you to a place where you can smell the rain, feel the thunder inside your heart, and discover a kind of love only she can write, the kind that you never, ever forget.

 

 

Sawyer Dixon, after twenty years of living a life where everything was forbidden, has finally escaped. She’s looking for answers and freedom in a little town called, The Outskirts. When her mother died, she left Sawyer a little box filled with random clues that have taken her to this place in the middle of the Florida Swamp, where she’ll discover a world full of new things, she didn’t even know existed. Her very first scary encounter in this new place is with the town’s hermit; Finn Hollis.

Just like Sawyer, Finn is running away from a painful past that has him shackled to a dark and lonely existence. Sawyer comes through the town like a beautiful storm; bringing light and hope for a new day not only for Finn but to some of the other residents of The Outskirts.

Finn and Sawyer end up being neighbors, and then friends, and then more. Finn feels the need to protect innocent Sawyer from everything and everyone. But Sawyer doesn’t want to be sheltered or owned, she wants to live, she desperately wants to experience everything life has to offer to the fullest. She might be scared of storms and thunder but she’s definitely not afraid to live or to love.

Exciting twists and turns will surprise us as we read, and ultimately leaving us with an unforgettable ending that I still CANT BELIEVE!!!

Seriously, people, I will be stalking, hounding and whatever else it takes until T.M Frazier writes the second book. I’m dying!!!! I need to know what happens next…

*****Patty’s Review*****

*****FOUR STARS*****
{ARC Generously Provided by Author}

Every single thing that Finn was doing to me I felt not only within my body, but in my mind, in my heart. He wasn’t just making me feel, he was opening my eyes and it was like for the first time I was able to see clearly.

 

 

It’s clear to me after having finished ”The Outskirts” that T.M. Frazier has created another hit series! What I loved most of all about this story was the Hero, Finn Hollis. For the first time T.M. has created a charismatic Hero that doesn’t live his life outside the lines of the law. When we are first introduced to him, his demeanor is rough around the edges but just like the Heroine, you will find it impossible not to feel drawn to him. Ladies get ready to fall in love with Finn!

Sawyer Dixon, at the age of twenty-one, is finally breaking free from the abusive and oppressive life she endured under the reigns of her religious fanatic father. After her mother’s suicide, she comes across an envelope that contains a letter, keys, and a deed to some land in a small rural town called “the Outskirts”. Sawyer is excited for this new chapter in her life, but on her very first night her car breaks down and she is nearly run over by a surly and inebriated man, who she will soon learn also happens to be her new neighbor.

Finn Hollis lost the love of his life nearly two years ago and since then he’s turned to alcohol to help him numb the pain and he’s closed himself off from all of his friends because they are painful reminders of his past. When he sees that the beautiful red head with freckles has parked her camper on his property his first reaction is to behave like a belligerent Neanderthal and order her off of his land. He’s anything but sweet to Sawyer in the beginning but somehow beneath his prickly exterior Sawyer can see the haunted look in his eyes and it calls to her. Something seems to be drawing Finn to Sawyer as well. He feels an inherent need to protect her from the outside world.

Soon enough the two are starting to feel an undeniable spark between them whenever they’re in each other’s presence and once things start to heat up there’s nothing that can stop it.

Finn isn’t the only new person in Sawyer’s life. She ends up meeting a couple of Sawyer’s friends and soon they become an integral part of her new life in the Outskirts as well. Josh is one of Finn’s oldest friends and also on the Outskirt’s police force. She is a fierce woman with a heart of gold. Josh and Sawyer become fast friends and I really loved how quick she was to help Sawyer settle into her new life.

As Sawyer starts to burrow her way into Finn’s heart, she also helps bring him back to the world of the living. He’s starting to feel like the man he was before he was literally drowning in self-loathing and guilt.

Will the two lovers be able to live a life filled with happiness or is the past destined to resurface and bring more unbearable grief their way?

WRAPPED UP IN READING’s REVIEW OF DEAR BRIDGET, I WANT YOU

Dear Bridget,

I’m writing this letter because it’s highly doubtful I’ll ever garner the courage to say this to your face.

So, here goes.

We’re totally wrong for each other. You’re the proper single mum with a good head on your shoulders. I’m just the carefree British doctor passing through town and temporarily living in your converted garage until I head back to England.

But here’s the thing… for some bloody reason, I can’t stop thinking about you in very inappropriate ways.

I want you.

The only reason I’m even admitting all of this to you right now is because I don’t believe it’s one-sided. I notice your eyes when you look at me, too. And as crass as I appear when we’re joking around about sex, my attraction to you is not a joke.

So, what’s the purpose of this note? I guess it’s a reminder that we’re adults, that sex is healthy and natural, and that you can find me just through the door past the kitchen. More specifically, it’s to let you know that I’m leaving said door cracked open from now on in case you’d like to visit me in the middle of the night sometime.

No questions asked.

Think about it.

Or don’t.

Whatever you choose.

It’s doubtful I’ll even end up sliding this letter under your door anyway.

–Simon

*****Patty’s Review*****

For the most part, I lived a very simple life. I didn’t need fancy cars or money. I worked hard, yet didn’t need to be the chief. But every once in a blue moon, something came along and lit a fire under my ass. My desires were limited, but when they struck—they were consuming. There were no two ways about it, I desired Bridget Valentine.

 

FANTASTIC!!!!

Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward have done it again!! Their writing collaboration is exceptional! I think these ladies need to consider writing together full time. While their individual works have been great, I think their collaborations have often times been magical. It’s stories like this that keeps fueling my reading obsession! I loved absolutely everything about this story and am not sure I will be able to find the words to put together to write a review worthy of this book! It had what I love THE MOST— a romance between a devilishly handsome British Hero and a sweet and down to earth American Heroine!! British Heroes tend to pull off their cocky attitudes with ease and are skilled dirty talkers. They can make any curse word in the English language sound so classy and deliciously decadent with their sexy accents!! I’m positive that Dr. Simon Hogue is going to capture the hearts of many a reader!!

Bridget and Simon have one of the funniest and embarrassing “meet cutes” ever to be written in a RomCom! Bridget winds up in the E.R. with an embarrassing injury that she got while trying to teach her little boy how to fish. Bridget is a nurse and decides to go to a hospital that she doesn’t work at to save herself from having to suffer through endless amounts of teasing from her co-workers. She never expected that her doctor was going to be ridiculously hot and British!! The level of mortification she goes through is astronomical and Simon doesn’t hesitate to poke a little fun at Bridget while also tending to her wound. While the situation is less than ideal Bridget can’t help but notice how the good doctor also has got her temperature rising. Their encounter lasts all of fifteen minutes but Fate has plans for these two because a few weeks later, Simon ends up being the new tenant of the garage apartment in her house. Not only will they be roomies but it turns out he’s also finishing up his last year of residency at the hospital that Bridget works at.

In no time at all Bridget and Simon settle into an easy friendship while also trying to get a handle on the intense attraction that is building between them. Both Bridget and Simon are convinced that things could never work between them for completely different and somewhat irrational reasons. Simon has never been in a committed relationship and he’s actually never been tempted to pursue one. He seeks out women who are only looking for a good time and he hasn’t gone beyond two dates with the same woman yet. He’s also haunted by a tragedy from his past which he’s plagued with unreasonable guilt over. Plus, Simon’s planning to move back to England once he completes his residency in less than a year.

Bridget lost her husband a couple years back when he died in a car accident. She was left to raise their six-year-old son alone on her meager Nurse’s salary. Her son, Brendan, is her entire world. She’s hesitant to jump back into the dating pool because she doesn’t think any man will want a woman with “baggage”. She’s also not willing to bring someone into Brendan’s life that is not in it for the long haul.

Bridget finds herself getting increasingly attached to Simon and it’s scaring her because she knows that if she were to give in to her feelings that Simon could break her heart more than any other man ever has. Simon is in the same pickle. He’s consumed with his feelings for Bridget and has grown attached to her son as well.

 

 

I was dying for these two to finally give in to their desires and let’s just say it was definitely worth the wait!! Wow! I was nearly scorched by the flames that the seduction between Simon and Bridget created. But while they’ve got incredible sexual chemistry those silly little reasons of why things could never work out between them are still hovering in the background. Will they get a clue before it’s too late?

“DEAR BRIDGET, I LOVE YOU” is currently available! This is a MUST READ! I promise you, it is that good! You’ll get sucked in and then in no time at all you’ll have finished it because this is one book that is just that hard to put down!

*****Dee’s Review*****
ALL THE STARS************

Of course, I LOVED this book. Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland are both amazing authors in their right, but together these two are dynamite. Dear Bridget, I Want You has everything you look for in a romance; humor, superb writing, lovable characters, twist and turns, explosive passion and even a bit of angst. TOP TEN FAVORITE OF 2017. 

 

 

Dr. Simon Hogue is the sexy resident doctor at Boston’s Memorial Hospital. He is twenty-nine, British and totally irresistible. Simon is a kid at heart and his charms work on just about everybody. He’s about to finish his residency and is looking for a short-term rental without a lease because in a couple of months he’s supposed to be going back home, to England. His best friend has found him the perfect place to rent and when he goes to meet his new landlord the last thing he expected was to see the woman with the beautiful smile and sexy derrière he attended in the hospital a few weeks back, again.

Bridget was in a minor accident that landed her in the hospital with her butt exposed and being examined by possibly the most beautiful man she’s ever seen. After the embarrassing event, she has been fantasizing about the sexy doctor, until one day he turns out to be her new tenant.

Simon and Bridget are totally into each other but they are both terrified of relationships, so they decide to simply settle for a friendship. Nobody said it would be easy, living next to the star of all your fantasies and knowing you could never have them.

Bridget is a single mother who lost her husband a couple of years ago and still doesn’t feel ready to date, plus her priority is her son Brendan. And Simon carries some issues from his past which makes him terrified of opening his heart to anyone. But love is an unexpected thing nobody can control, and these two characters will find themselves fighting against the very thing they want the most in this world.

From the moment I started reading, I was laughing and enjoying myself with this book. I knew right away that I wasn’t going to be able to put this book down for anything. Everything about Bridget and Simon’s story was perfect. I highly recommended this book, it is an absolute winner.

I never meant to corrupt her, but I’m not sorry. After all, I’m already damned.  After four years of searching and longing, I’ve finally found her. Faith, the one person in the world I breathe for. She lives beneath my skin as surely as I wear proof of our transgressions inked on my body. And like the forbidden fruit that doomed us from the beginning, our end is inevitable. We lived with no regret. We loved without inhibition. We betrayed those closest to us. We killed for that love. Now…we will burn in hell together.

REVIEW – WILD FOR YOU (Love With Altitude #3) by Daisy Prescott

 

SYNOPSIS

Wild for You is a standalone, slow burn cowboy romance.

This city girl doesn’t want to play it safe anymore …

I’ve been dumped. I can’t afford my condo. My job sucks. So when my girls take me to a rodeo and I discover a smoking-hot cowboy packing heat in his Wranglers? Well, I’ve got nothing to lose except my dry spell.

After watching him ride, there’s no way I’m walking away. Only, something tells me Justin might be more than just a rebound. So much for living dangerously.

***

The fastest way to break a cowboy? Force him to settle down …

I have a ranch to run. Rodeos to ride. Scandals that don’t want to stay buried. What I don’t have is time for a city girl like her, even if she does have the most beautiful eyes I’ve ever seen

So why can’t I stay away? Winning Zoe’s love might be the hardest event I’ve ever entered- but she’ll be worth the challenge.

Wild for You is part of the Love with Altitude series of standalone romantic comedies. You do not have to read other books in the series before reading this one.

 

 

*****Dee’s Review*****

FOUR STARS ****

If I didn’t have any cowboys fantasies before, I do now. Wild For You is a slow burn romantic story destined to lasso the hearts of all its readers. So giddy-up and follow Justin and Zoe on this beautiful, wild adventure.

 

Zoe’s life is not going like she wants it to. Her longtime boyfriend just dumped her, and she can’t afford her apartment on her own without him, and she’s stuck in a job, she doesn’t really love. What she does have are awesome girlfriends that are trying to cheer her up after her bad break-up.

Zoe’s friends want to show her the awesome world of the American Rodeo. All dressed up in cowboy-inspired attire they attend the amazing and exciting event; and little did Zoe know that that was going to be the start of an amazing cowboy fantasy come to life.

Justin is a very private person due to a very tumultuous childhood. As an adult, he usually keeps to himself since he’s not a big fan of people. His passion is the rodeo, his only competition in the arena is himself and he’s usually pushing himself to beat his own scores. He’s not interested in making new friends, and forget about romantic relationships, he’s not into any of it. Until he spots a beautiful brunette with a musical laugh; Zoe.

Zoe and Justin and very attracted to each other but they both proceed with caution. The slow burn of their romance is what makes this story truly delectable, and the signature hilarious humor of Daisy Prescott make this book the perfect weekend read. She brings us something to dream about with this new book. DONT MISS IT!!!

LIVE – LUCAS (Cold Fury #8) by Sawyer Bennett

Lucas (Cold Fury, Book #8)
Sawyer Bennett
Release Date: September 19, 2017

Synopsis:
The Carolina Cold Fury hockey team is stacked with hotshots. But when a new player joins their ranks, he learns that even superstars can’t go it alone when it comes to love.

Lucas Fournier is only serious about one thing: hockey. The league’s fun-loving charmer, Luc is always up for a good prank or a great lay, and he has no intention of settling down. But being traded to the Carolina Cold Fury—and to play alongside his big brother, Max—is no joke. With another title in sight, the last thing Luc wants is to let his new teammates down. To succeed, Luc will need to keep his head in the game and the most . . . er, demanding member of his anatomy in check. But when temptation hits, Luc hits back harder.

Museum curator Stephanie Frazier has always put business before pleasure, which just about explains her nonexistent sex life. But when Stephanie meets Luc at a champagne-fueled gala, she finds herself flirting like crazy—and going home with the uninhibited athlete. For one night, she learns what passion is all about. She just never counted on the little surprise Luc leaves behind. And that’s when things really start to get . . . interesting.

Sawyer Bennett’s New York Times bestselling Carolina Cold Fury series can be read together or separately.

She believes in the good of others, and that a bad day can be cured with a great work-out, cake, or even better, both.

Excerpt from Infatuation by Willow Winters

“You’re very handsome, Mr. Kulls.”  I finally give in to a bit of my desire, and pick up the glass of wine, holding on to it for support in this decision.

His grin widens and he leans forward just slightly to say, “Alec, Lila.  My name is Alec to you.”  He pauses for a moment, then flashes me a smirk and adds, “Unless of course you’d like to scream ‘Mr. Kulls’ in bed?”

My face heats instantly as he rises from his seat to attend to the beeping oven and he’s quick to say, “I do believe Alec may be easier.”

The sweet wine touches my lips and the taste is delicious, but I can’t think of anything other than this man on top of me, making me scream as he thrusts inside of me repeatedly.

“I think you’ve maybe thought a little too far ahead, Mr.- Alec,” I’m quick to correct myself.  I watch as he works in the oven, turning the chicken breasts and then setting the tongs back down on the counter before coming back to his seat.

 

“Mmm, that could be,” he says picking up his glass, but not sitting.  I cross my ankles and turn in my seat to face him.

“This isn’t very professional,” I tell him with a serious look, or at least the most serious I can manage.  He shrugs his shoulders and then takes a sip from his glass.

“Do you want it to be?” he asks and then adds, “That’s fine if you do.  I understand the attraction may only be on my end.”

My heart thumps hard in my chest.  I don’t think this man knows how to be subtle.  He’s honest and to the point.  But I admire that.

“It’s definitely not just one-sided,” I admit, and then bite my tongue.  I’m thinking I should add that this is dangerous for me.  I could lose my job.  More than that though, this man could crush me.  I’ve never had a one-night stand because I know I don’t really do casual.  I’ve been wined and dined and then thrown away before.  It hurts too much.

I don’t recover easily, and I prefer to avoid relationships.  But it’s been so long since I’ve been touched.

 

Alec’s deep voice rumbles, “That’s good to know.”  I don’t think a man has ever looked at me with the same level of desire.  It’s tempting and frightening all the same.

“So, tomorrow?” he asks me, and my brow furrows with confusion.

“Tomorrow?” I repeat.

He smiles at me, and the smell of his cologne, or maybe his natural scent hits me with a powerful force that makes me lean in closer to him.

“Would you like to go out with me tomorrow?” he asks.

His gray eyes swirl with a mixture of desire and something else–a desperate need.  I nod my head slowly and say, “I’d love to.”
