Synopsis:
“Two
men were infinitely better than one, an intoxicating combination if I could
find it, and my greedy self-indulgence was boundless, my sexuality unleashed
those many years ago with him. His
shadow haunted me and shaped my obsession, the depth of my depravity
deep and forged in the cafes and nightclubs and back alleys in a dozen
countries with dozens of men. Once I’d
started down that road, I couldn’t stop and couldn’t go back, a dark and
insatiable impulse propelling me forward and driving me into the arms of
strangers like the Mohammeds and into the sweltering barren desert.” 〰 Haley 〰
Unable
to cope with the loss of her first love, a charming and seductive Spanish
soccer player, beautiful, headstrong Haley Hanson abandons love entirely. She seeks solace in the arms of strangers and
fame, a tumbleweed rolling where the gusts of wind carry
her, and she lands between a garbage bin of rotting food and a brick wall. Stuck in limbo and near death.
Will love destroy her or conquer all?

Excerpt:
We returned
to the hotel after midnight and I immediately drew him a hot bath, adding
bubbles from the upscale toiletry collection, and he let out a long sigh as he
sank slowly into it, gazing at me expectantly as I hovered over him.
“You come,
cariño?” he asked, gesturing for me to join him, and my pussy immediately
jumped to attention.
I sat on the
toilet and hurriedly removed my sandals and ripped off the tank top, my pulse
racing as it always did when his luscious eyes turned seductive and
mischievous.
“You do
naked dance, mi amor?” he asked.
“Striptease,”
I corrected, laughing, and he flicked bubbles in my direction, grinning
boyishly.
“You do
striptease?”
The
suggestion made me hotter and I slowed down.
I slid the jeans leisurely over my behind, turned away from him and bent
over, giving him a good, long look at my ass in the skimpy thong as I wriggled
out of the pants.
“Fantástico,”
he murmured, and I spun to face him, fluffing my hair so it fell wildly around
my face.
Then I slid
my index fingers inside the panties, tracing them along my hip and the apex of
my sex, and I plunged a hand inside, touching myself and licking my lips,
enticing him with my tongue, and his eyes practically bugged out of their
sockets.
I smiled to
myself. My first striptease and it
turned me on as much as it did him, my slit dripping with juices and my clit
plumping and pulsing, and if I’d wanted, I could’ve made myself come in an
instant.
I moaned
softly, deliberately, and moved my hands up to my breasts, skimming the lacy
fabric. I unhooked the bra and held it
close to my chest, my hips swaying suggestively, and then I flung it at him.
He snatched
it out of the air, his coordination soccer perfect, as was he. Delicious, tantalizingly hot, the bubbles swirling
around his ribcage as he smiled his uniquely crooked smile and gazed lovingly
at me with his soft chocolate eyes.
He was
enjoying himself and so was I, and it was impossible not to love him.
I shimmied
my tits in his face, making a show of it, and his hands reached for them, but I
backed away.
“Mi amor,
come with me,” he appealed.
And I did,
quickly peeling off the thong and sliding into the tub. I straddled him and he grasped the nape of my
neck, gently drawing me in for a kiss, his tongue passionate, loving and
intense, a slow sultry dance. I drowned
in that kiss, swept under by a–
The lock
clicked. Baba was back. I silently cursed him, wanting to remain in
the past, wanting to stay with Mikel. I
remained immobile and kept my eyes closed, and I felt him looming over me,
sensed the stark light streaming from the ceiling and smelled cigarette smoke.
My Review: 4 1/2 stars
Yet another great book from Julia. I really enjoyed the sense that this book could really happen in real life. It was raw, emotional, a bit scary at times, but moves along nicely. Very well written, with good characters. I couldn't help but feel badly for Haley. She makes some poor choices, and ends up regretting a lot of things she can't change. She goes through so many things, but meets some good people along the way. She also continues to make choices that pull her further and further from where she should be, and that's how she ends up in a sticky situation, to put it mildly. This is a good read, and I recommend it to anyone who can handle a dose of sometimes harsh reality alongside some super steamy scenes. Julia can write some very interesting scenes and characters. I'm looking forward to reading more from her.
