Excerpt
The plane begins its ascent, the engines roaring to life. Fenton whips out a file from his briefcase and gives it a once-over. Again, I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do and it's killing me.
I pull my Kindle out of my bag and try to become invested in a second-chance romance about a rock star, but it's nearly impossible sitting next to him. Each time I become engrossed in the words, he moves and my senses are assaulted by his proximity. The third time this happens, I search the ebook for 'cock' and start reading a sex scene. I need some form of undoing and if that has to be done via fictional character, so be it.
The heroine is taking the hero into her mouth when a low rumble radiates beside me. Startled, I look up and see Fenton smirking.
"What?" I push the power button on my e-reader and place it on my lap. I realize the jet has leveled off and it's quiet in the cabin. "What are you looking at me like that for?"
"Just wondering what you're reading."
"Why?"
"Because," he says, his eyes darkening, "your entire posture changed. Your lips parted, your breathing became labored. I'm intrigued."
"I don't think you'd be interested in this."
"Trust me—if it gets that kind of reaction out of you, I'm definitely interested."
Dragging in a lungful of air, I remember Presley's pep talk and decide I have nothing to lose.
I switch on the tablet and find the page. "She drew his cock into her mouth, stroking his shaft as she licked a pool of semen from the tip." I glance over my shoulder and his eyes are wide. I wink. "A growl escaped his throat as she stroked his velvety length, running her tongue—"

MY REVIEW:
What an enjoyable read! I was sucked into this story from the get-go and didn't want to ever put it down. I REALLY enjoyed reading from Brynne's perspective throughout this book. In fact, I rather liked only getting her take on things! There was so much happening in her world and Adriana's words put you in the middle of her anguish and her hopefulness.
Brynne's life has had some major challenges/crises lately and she's not in a place where she wants a guy. But Fenton comes sweeping into her world and soon she finds herself falling for him. The way that he appeared in her life was SO. STINKING. CUTE. Oh my. She never saw him coming. Nor did he ever picture meeting her. Watching their story unfold was fun!
Fenton has never found a woman that has made him want to settle down. He, too, has had a hard life and he's never looked for a relationship. He makes the rules and he sets the boundaries. But he was drawn to Brynne. He had no idea how she would fit his life. And boy is he a sexy, alpha male. SHEW!!!! He oozes confidence and masculinity. Sexy, I tell you!
I kept cheering them on as I read their story. I may or may not have yelled at my kindle a few times! There were things that I ABSOLUTELY did not see coming. At least not like they did. But whew boy! Adriana sure knows how to write a stunning story. This book is sassy, sexy, sweet, frustrating and all around good read! Pick up your copy today.
