The Way She Makes Me Feel
Pembroke Sinclair
Genre: romance
Book Description:
Drake Steng had it
all: a professional football career, money, and looks. Finding women wasn't a
problem, having a relationship was. He thought he found true love when he was
12, but as a boy, how was he to know? He never had the courage to find out, and
she slipped from his grasp. When Evie walks back into his life years later, he
gets a second chance to discover true love, but are Evie and Drake fated to be
together or will he lose his courage and lose her again?
Excerpt:
She sat at the
opposite side of the bar. Her blond hair hung in a ponytail, allowing me to see
the edges of a tattoo on her right shoulder blade. She was out of place. The
bar didn’t have a formal dress code, but women didn’t walk through the doors
unless their make-up was just so and every hair in its right place. Their
clothes were low cut, tight, and revealing—very little was left to the
imagination.
Her manner of dress
differed. She wasn’t slovenly or dirty, but her black tank top and faded jeans
didn’t match the ambiance. She wasn't wearing any make-up. She didn’t seem to
be overly concerned with attracting the attention of any of the athletes
either. Most of the women giggled a little too loudly, their gazes scanning
desperately around the room, hoping to contact with someone famous. They always
seemed to be moving too, pacing back and forth in front of whoever needed to
notice them.
My Review: 3 1/2 stars
This was a nice novella about two people who knew each other when they were children. It has a nice pace, always moving. The characters seemed to be good people who needed something more in their lives. That "more" was each other. But will they just puch each other away, or will they take a chance on happiness? I would have like it if this would have been longer to give you more time to get to know the characters. Still a nice, quick read.
