Excerpt
Laurel seemed to breathe a sigh
of relief as soon as we were inside the penthouse. She looked amazing in her
dress. I couldn’t keep my hands off of her bare back in the ballroom and her
exposed leg in the car. She was the one thing that calmed me and I desired her
more than anything else in my life, but I wouldn’t press, given the day we’ve
had.
“Would you like to take a bath
together or would you rather us turn in for the night?” I asked as I led her up
to our bedroom.
She laid her purse on the
nightstand by our bed, then turned towards me, wrapped her arms around my neck,
and whispered so close to my lips, that I could feel her breath across my
face, “A soak would be nice, but right
now I just want to get out of this dress, feel the warmth of your skin pressed
hard against mine, and let the night take us where it may.”
Damn, my woman knew how to turn
me on in a heartbeat. I was already at semi attention, but now she had me rock
hard and wanting out of my clothes as quickly as possible.
I wasted no time in stripping
myself bare. Her eyes grew big as she realized the power her words had over me.
Now it was her turn. My hands found the side zipper of her dress
as my tongue grazed up her neck to the back of her ear, where I sucked on her
skin. “Do you have any idea how desirable you looked in this dress
tonight?”
I bit her lightly as she moaned,
“No.”
I grabbed her hand and moved it down to my cock. “You feel how
much I want you?” Her fingers circled round me as I shoved into her hand.
My Review: 4 1/2 stars
This was a very good book, a good ending to the series. I loved how Garrett was so protective over Laurel. He had good reason, but some men just don't go there. Garrett was a complete alpha-male when it came to Laurel and anything having to do with her. I loved that Laurel was trusting enough in Garrett to let him help her. They both had issues they needed to overcome, as well as their pasts. The difficult part id doing it together. They managed to do that, and that right there makes a hell of a difference. There are some twists and turns that I wasn't expecting, but were very good and made things a bit more exciting. The sex scenes between Laurel and Garrett were smoldering, sparking, could set a room on fire - HOT! Loved every bit of this! I will definitely be keeping an eye out for Cynthia's work in the future.
