Synopsis:
* This is a New Adult romance novel
recommended for ages 18+ due to sexual content and mature subject matter.*
Maxwell Knight was positively trouble, dangerously good-looking, and seductively charming. He was everything Jeanella didn’t need in her life. Only Maxwell didn’t see it that way. His pursuit was relentless, making her even more determined to push him away.
Fresh out of college, life was simple and plain for Jeanella Mefferd. Every part of her life was smooth sailing; her friends, her job, and even the guy she’d started dating. Then one night, while at dinner, she spotted someone who made her feel things she’d never felt before—dangerous, heart pounding and breathless heat. Thinking she would never see him again, she brushed it off, but when she started to run into him unexpectedly, all she could think of was how he made her feel with his sweet flirtations. Everything about Maxwell Knight screamed trouble, especially when she found out he was her new boss’s son. Now, heading to a
Excerpt:
“I
think this is my stop,” he muttered, looking straight at me. “I’m not wanted in
there. What do you think?” He arched his brows, and his tone held a note of
challenge.
Huh? He wants to go in with me? I gasped silently, as I was still lost in his
eyes. “I think the women in there will throw themselves at you.” I couldn’t
believe I’d said those words. I couldn’t take it back. What was I doing,
flirting with him?
He
seemed to like what he heard. His arms reached out, his muscles flexing as he
placed one on each side of me on the wall. With nowhere to go, I was trapped
inside the bubble of his arms. He leaned down toward the left side of my face
and brushed my hair with his cheek. “You smell…delicious,” he whispered.
His hot breath shot tingles to places I hadn’t expected them.
Out
of nervousness and habit, my left index finger flew inside my mouth. Max gave a
crooked, naughty grin and slowly took my hand out of my mouth. “Did you know
that biting one’s finger is an indication one is sexually deprived?” His words
came out slowly, playfully, but hot. “I can fix that for you, if you’d like.”
He did not just say that to me!
I parted my lips for a good comeback, but I couldn’t find one. Feeling my chest
rise and fall quickly, I tried to control the heated desire. Sure, he’d helped
me once, but that didn’t mean we were friends, or flirting buddies, or that I
would allow him to fix my sexual deprivation. Oh God…can guys tell if you haven’t done it in a very long time?
This had to stop or else…oh dear…I wanted to take him with me into the
restroom.
Needing to put a stop to the heat, I placed my hand on his chest…big mistake.
Touching him made the heat worse, and tingles that were already intensifying
burst through every inch of me. I had to push him away.
As if he knew what I meant to do, he pulled back, but his eyes did the talking
instead. There was no need for words; I felt his hard stare on my body, as if
he was undressing me with his gorgeous eyes. His gaze was powerful, as if his
eyes were hands; I felt them all over me, completely unraveling me.
Just when I thought I was going to
faint, his eyes shifted to mine again. “It was really nice to meet you, Jenna.
I’m sure we’ll see each other again, real soon. I better let you go. Your
someone must be waiting for you. By the way….” There was a
pause as he charmed me with his eyes again. “You…took my breath away. If I were
your someone, I wouldn’t let you out of my sight for even a second, because
someone like me will surely try to whisk you away.” He winked and left.
My Review: 4 1/2 stars
It takes a lot of courage for some people to try for something great. But sometimes, it hits you when you least expect it. That's really how it happens. Ms. Clarke wrote it beautifully. Jenna is an extremely careful person in her relationships since her first boyfriend broke her heart into tiny little pieces. Max is unexpectedly the boss's son at Jenna's new job and he has his own secrets as well. Max and Jenna have the chance to have that "something great." They way they first "meet" is memorable, Jenna has a difficult time releasing Max's gaze. Not a word is spoken between the two. However, when they actually exchange words things start heating up between the two of them. And that's all before Jenna gets the job. But as so often happens in real life, misconceptions and misunderstandings often get in the way. Once Max and Jenna lay it all out for each other, they take a chance and try for their "Something Great." Hopefully things will work out and they can put both of their pasts behind them and move onto something together. I actually think it should have 4 1/2 stars.
