Excerpt:
“Oh yes, the
texting,” he replies, and I can hear the smirk in his voice. “Well, at any
rate, I’m glad you guys got along. SB hasn’t approved of many women in the past
few years, and that can cause huge problems.”
“Maybe it’s
because we’re closer in age than most women you date, you dirty old man.”
Releasing my
hand, he pinches my side which makes me yelp. He narrows his eyes at me, “Not
funny,” he says dryly.
I double over
in laughter at the expression on his face, and he glares at me. When I finally
calm down enough to look at him, he’s looking at me closely. Uh-oh, I’m not
sure I like that expression! Just when I’m about to ask what he’s thinking, he
pulls me into an alley and my back is against the wall. He crushes his mouth
down on mine, and brings his body flush against me. In seconds, his tongue is
in my mouth, and I feel like I’m going to combust. When I tangle my fingers in
his hair, he pulls away from me.
“No darlin’,”
he says, and taking my hands in his, he pulls them up above my head. I inhale
sharply, and his mouth lands on the sensitive spot behind my ear. “I’ll teach
you to not call me an old man,” he rasps, and trails his tongue down my neck,
raising goosebumps along the trail. Oh. My. I’m trembling weak-kneed, and it
feels like my body is on fire.
David begins
running his free hand up and down from hip to just underneath my heaving
breasts, but I can’t concentrate on anything other than the feel of his mouth
on my neck. His very talented mouth. I suddenly feel his hand cup my breast.
Just like that, I can’t breathe and my pulse starts racing. David kneads it,
and my nipple pebbles against his hand. He groans, and I sag against the wall.
He kisses me for what feels like hours, and when he finally breaks away and
releases my hands, I grip his shoulders tightly.
We’re both
breathing heavy, and he rests his forehead against mine. He stares into my
eyes, and his eyes are almost glowing with desire. As I come back to reality, I
feel the hard ridge of his arousal against my stomach, and I can’t help but
squirm.
Groaning, he
closes his eyes and says, “You’re killing me. You know that right?” and I
smile, loving the effect I have on him. The same effect he has on me, so it’s
nice to know that I’m not alone.
Taking my hand again, we walk back to the alley’s exit. He quickly
looks up and down the street before leading me back onto the street towards our
destination.
My Review: 4 1/2 stars
Lyric and David's story was something pretty special. Lyric wasn't prepared to enter a relationship when she got to Nashville. Didn't want one. Had ended a relationship about six months earlier and didn't think jumping into another relationship would be a good thing. Lyric's ex is such a douche bag. I was glad that he had the opportunity to meet David. (You'll understand that a lot more when you read the book.) From the minute Lyric meets David, everything changes. David is pretty special. He is so amazingly understanding and gentle. Everything that Lyric needs or would ever want. They have their problems, but they still manage to work them through. I have to say that David's sister, Sarabeth had got some serious issues. I liked her initially, but the crap that she pulled left me not liking her very much. I loved how Anna and Lyric's sister Aria were so protective of Lyric. I wanted to kick someones ass at that particular moment (can't tell you when that is, but you'll know it), because it just devastates Lyric. I loved the ending to this book, and I'll have to say that I would love to read more about this couple. More about their friends, just more. Stacy did a great job of getting me hooked on her book and the characters in it.
