Synopsis:
After
his divorce, Greg Snow dedicated his life to his work as a corporate
attorney in a large law firm and as a member of the board of
directors of Advantage Insurance Company. He liked it that way… at
least that’s what he thought until Tessa Mills entered his life.
Growing
up with an alcoholic mother and never knowing her father, Tessa Mills
has not had an easy life. And her relationship decisions have been
less than stellar. But she’s finally making a life for herself and
running her own business – a yoga studio. It’s her saving grace
and that’s all she needs… until Greg Snow turns her world upside
down.
Tessa
and Greg have a strong attraction, but is it enough to overcome all
their differences?
Excerpt:
“I
don’t want to seem like I am ungrateful for what I have. I’ve
worked hard for it. Very hard. And…” Before she knew what was
happening, Greg’s hand palmed the back of her head and pulled her
into a kiss that sent her head spinning. His lips were firm yet soft
to the touch and he moved them expertly over her own. His goatee
tickled her skin in a lascivious way that made her wonder what it
would feel like at other spots on her body. His tongue flicked out
over her lips and Tessa was unable to stifle the moan that rose up
her chest. He took that as the opportunity to move further and
pushed his tongue between her lips. Oh sweet Jesus, he tasted
fantastic! He tasted like caramel coffee. She could get lost in his
taste… in his kiss. His experience was evident as he licked into
her mouth, exploring every crevice. His hand flexed at the back of
her head before sliding down to the nape of her neck and caressing
her there. She’d never been kissed so thoroughly, so sensuously.
Her panties dampened as he took the kiss deeper and her hands gripped
his shirt tightly as if it were the only way for her to keep from
melting into the seat.
Beep!
Beep! Startled back to reality by the cars honking behind them,
Tessa pushed back from the kiss. She had been so wrapped up in her
verbal dribble that she hadn’t even recognized that they had been
stopped at the light just before the bridge. And then his kiss threw
her into a tailspin. She’d completely lost track of where she was.
She came to find out she was making out at a traffic light with a
man she barely knew, and she was struggling to catch her breath after
the make out session.
“You’d
better go,” she whispered. She could feel the blush once again
spread over her face. He looked at her closely, studying her.
Another horn honked and his hand fell from the back of her neck and
rested on her knee. He gave her a little squeeze and she watched as
his lips quirked up into a gorgeous smile.
“I’ve been
wanting to do that since the moment I laid eyes on you,” he said,
roughly. “And truth be told, I can’t wait to do it again.”
Tessa inhaled sharply at his words and the desire behind them. He
glanced over at her and smiled. His grey eyes were darker than they
had been earlier, and she wondered if this was the look she’d read
countless times about in all the romance novels she adored. “Where
to, Tessa?” he asked. His question brought her back to the
present.
My review:
This was a lot shorter than I wanted it to be but it was a really great book. I am a total sucker for the chance encounters that result in some steamy madness and spontaneous lust. This novella was completely crammed full of that from the yoga girl's car breaking down to the uncanny attraction her rescuer and her have for one another. The sexiness that happens between them was pure bonus. I would have loved for this to be longer, I want to know what happens next. I am horrible, I know I want the happily ever after to be all spelled out nice and neat for me. This wasn't spelled out, it led me to the potential instead. A great book for those of us who like a little romance with our steamily sexy stories!
About the author:
I
am a born and raised small town Ohio girl, who moved to the Sunshine
State after graduating from college. I graduated with a bachelor's
degree in English because I could not imagine doing anything else but
reading and writing. It is such a pleasure to be able to share all
the stories in my head!
In
the journey of life, I also became a wife and a mother of three
children. So, life is always an adventure. But the love of writing
has never died.
My
favorites: I love to read and write... obviously! But I also enjoy
all sports, especially college football and the Ohio State Buckeyes!
Go Steelers! Go Rays! I LOVE to travel... LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to
travel. And I love sharing my love to travel with my children. I love
to drink Teavana teas! I love a good glass of wine, especially if it
comes from a bottle made by the FOOLS wine club… yep, I’m a
member of that! I love hanging out with my family and my
friends! Big fan of music, but love nothing better than putting on
my jean shorts, tank top, cowboy boots and hat and watching Tim
McGraw belt it out! I’m a sucker for a cowboy hat!
