EXCERPT
Friday couldn’t come fast enough for Tyler.
He boarded the plane from San Diego and in just under two hours touched down at
Schulz International Airport. Kate ran to him as soon as he entered the small terminal.
He dropped his bag and accepted her body slam willingly.
His heart was overjoyed. He’d been heavy with
worry she’d call him and postpone their get together, and he’d have to go out
of country without being with her one more time.
Her lips were urgent. She clung to him with
fierce need, which was just about the biggest turn-on and something he hadn’t
dared to dream was possible. He felt her need match and melt into his as the
steamy sparks flew and his hands smoothed over her satin skin. Her sweet softness
and fresh scent given up to him so willingly, so utterly compliant made him
wish somehow his deployment was over, that this was the homecoming he’d get
when he could finally stay for more than just two nights.
Two little nights! It’s
all they had left. He wanted to see everything about where she grew up, meet
her folks. Even take a good look at her asshole of a former fiancé and let him
know that he was the man he’d have to answer to if the guy had any designs on
her. Of course, he was all in. And, thank the God of SEALs, it looked like she
wanted him right there next to her as tight as they could get.
“Baby it was way too long. We should just go
runaway,” he kissed into her hair at the side of her head. “We could disappear.
Wanna disappear?”
That little giggle as she snuggled under his
chin, as her arms came up his back, pulling him into her. Her fingers migrated
to comb through the curls at the top of his spine, stroking and squeezing. Her
hard pubic bone rode his shaft through his jeans. He pressed her there, hurting
with need, and then just hurting.
“If you weren’t the man I know you to be, Tyler,
I’d take you up on it. God I wish I had a few million stashed away somewhere so
we could just do that. But we have this.” She stood on tiptoes and placed her
succulent lips across his.
“And this is pretty damned good, baby.”
“The best.”
With one arm wrapped tight about her waist he
practically carried her through the glass doors of the terminal to the parking
lot beyond, slinging his bag over his left shoulder. Her feet barely touched
the floor. She hung onto his shoulders, using her right thigh to gently balance
against his hipbone as he walked. She wasn’t light, but he’d carry her all the
way to San Francisco if she’d let him. And heck, he and his buddies had
carried telephone poles up and down the goddamned beach in a full run in combat
boots without hardly breaking a sweat.
She’d started to get out her keys and he swiped
them from her, giving her another kiss when she showed that fresh smile again.
He stowed his bag in the hatch and they drove toward the freeway, heading
north.
He found the little town of Healdsburg to be
charming, reminding him of some of the villages in the South of France, or New
England where shops surrounded a lawn square complete with a gazebo and park
benches. The square was a gathering place, and he noted the foot traffic was so
thick, maneuvering the car to make a right turn as she had instructed, was
tricky.
They drove down a wide street with grand houses,
most of them early California or large bungalow style. At a light green
mansion, she ordered him to turn right and pointed around the corner to the
back of the property, where he located a lemon yellow cottage.
“Nice, Kate. Love it.”
“Thank you.” She said bashfully. He could
see she was thinking about what they’d be doing just as soon as he got them
properly naked. He liked that she was shy, that her cheeks had that just-kissed
blush on her fair peachy skin. She stole little glances at him which set his
insides on fire. He’d never wanted a woman more.
My Review: 4 1/2 stars
This was one of those books that make you sigh with the beautiful things that the main characters say and do for each other. I loved Tyler, he was so upfront and compassionate, the man definitely had a way with words. Kate, she was confuse, and I understand how everything went the way it did. Sometimes an outsider's view is what's needed for clarity. That's what Kate got on that plane ride that made her change her mind. She didn't feel for Randy the way she should, and in my opinion, better now than after the wedding.
I hated that everyone kept pressuring Kate to keep on with the wedding, even after she said she didn't love Randy, who was a complete jerk to her. Tyler didn't want to get in the middle of Kate's decision and had made up his mind to let her go. Then she came to him. Sometimes people are lucky enough to find that special someone, and sometimes all it takes is a chance meeting. That's what happened with Tyler and Kate. They felt that connection, as if they had known each other forever. If you ever feel that way, take that chance, more than likely you won't regret it.
There are a lot more things that happen in this book, there's action, suspense, some oh so sexy romance with a hot SEAL, heartbreak, and a few other surprises. It was a great read and makes me proud of what our guys do to keep this country safe. Sharon does a fantastic job of not only depicting what they go through overseas, but the things they go through here at home as well. I'll keep reading these as long as Sharon keeps writing them.
