Colden Saint James, Dusty
Owens, and a single night of passion had equaled to poor old Mr. McAllister’s
broken fence. Add six years, a troublemaking photo, and
there’s not a fence in Texas that’s gonna be safe.
It took Dusty Owens two years to land Colden
“Saint” James, even if it was for only one night, but the very next day, he was
gone. Now, years later, the “Saint” has returned, but he’s no longer the
do-gooder rookie cop Dusty remembers.
Dusty
Owens always
had a way of making every single one of Colden’s man parts go all hard. He’d
been so close to falling for the girl before he’d left Odessa. Now, due to a
troublemaking photo, Colden must return to his hometown to keep her safe.
Trouble is, he’s a different man—not to mention the change. Well, it’s gonna
cause all kinds of problems where Dusty Owens and all of his man parts are
concerned.
Excerpt:
His
large hand hit the edge of the bed, and he pushed himself into a standing
position. With his chest rising and falling beneath his shirt, his eyes
remained fixed on her. She lay naked on the bed, but it was Colden’s
vulnerability that stood, unprotected, in the room.
Dusty
eased herself to the edge of the bed with Colden silently watching. She got up
on her feet.
His
jaw flinched. “Damn, girl,” he said, taking another thorough inspection of her
naked body. “You’re gorgeous.”
The
compliment infused her confidence, and she took a step toward him.
“But
you’d better not come any closer.”
“Why
not?”
“Because,
ever since you pranced that sweet little ass of yours into Odessa, I’ve wanted
you, and the one night I took you up against old man McAllister’s fence…well,
hell, that couldn’t even lick a fraction of what I need from you.”
“What
you need from me?” She inched nearer, loving the sound of those words.
“Oh
yeah.” He gazed down, touching her with his eyes. “There’s not one part of you
that I don’t want…or need.”
She
reached out and gathered the bottom of his shirt in her hands. “Good, because
there’s not a part of me that I don’t want to give to you.” She pulled his
shirt up over his head, then tossed it on the floor to join her pile of
clothes.
Colden
watched her shaky fingers as they fumbled with the button of his jeans. “I
can’t make you any promises,” he quietly admitted.
Pulling
down his zipper, her hand stilled. She looked up at his strict, beautiful face.
“I’m not asking for any. I just want tonight.”
He
grabbed her and pulled her against his warm, hard body, cradling her neck in
his hand, a powerful taking that stole her breath away. He placed a finger on
the underside of her chin and tilted her head until their eyes met. “Don’t
misunderstand my meaning,” he said, his mouth cascading over hers. “I want more
than just tonight, Dusty. I’m just not in any position to make any commitments
right now.” This time, his lips didn’t brush hers. Instead, they covered her
with heated need—aggressive, desirous, savoring need.
“Tonight,
though,” his fingers tightened on her neck, “tonight you will be all mine,” he
growled.
My Review: 4 1/2 stars
This was a good book. I'd really be interested in reading more of what this author has to offer. The storyline is good, the pace moves along nicely, the characters are interesting - what more could you ask for? I felt for Dusty after I found out what had happend on that single night and the day after. Colden is home for his little brothers wedding; at least that's what they all think. The truth is a little different. Colden has to come home because he made a mistake, and he's got to keep Dusty safe because of it. This was truly an interesting read, I loved that I had no idea what either Colden or Dusty was going to do at any given moment. There were truly sensual moments that just floored me, and other times when the passion between the two of them could combust a room. I would have to say that I truly loved the end, when Colden and Dusty talked about an old photo. You'll know it when you read it, and you'll be glad you did.
