Excerpt
Lisa backed off, making sure to
get more than an arm’s length from him. “Braden, I’m sorry, but I’m not
interested in you that way.”
He relaxed against the counter,
crossed his arms and gave her a pointed look. “I thought we didn’t
bullshit each other.” A small smile softened the words. “I’m not
ashamed to admit I want you. Why pretend you don’t feel the same?”
Ignoring the rush of wet lust in
her panties, she insisted, “I’ll admit you’re very attractive, but that doesn’t
mean I want you like that.”
“With all due respect, Ms.
Taylor, your eyes and your body say you do.”
“Pardon me?” She wouldn’t
have responded had she not been so totally caught off-guard by his comment.
“Your pupils are dilated; you’re
breathing like you just ran up the stairs; your cheeks are flushed; and...”
His own darkened eyes dipped down to her breasts.
She didn’t have to look to know
her nipples were hard. And now they tightened even more for him, the
traitors. Humiliated, she crossed her arms over her chest. “I’m not
having this conversation.”
“There’s nothing to be
embarrassed about, it’s just your body’s involuntary response to certain
stimuli. It’s physiology. Happens to everyone.” Before she
could interrupt, he asked, “Do you remember at the lake house once, about ten
years ago, I pitched a fit and ruined the whole day?”
“‘Once?’”
He chuckled. “Yeah, I
know. I was a brat.”
“And what’s that got to do with
my wanting to crawl under a rock and die right now?”
“I’m thinking of one tantrum in
particular. My dad was giving me shit because I had a hard-on, which, of
course was my body’s involuntary response to certain stimuli. It happened
a lot back then, and dad never missed an opportunity to call me out on it.”
“Asshole,” she muttered.
“That day, the stimulus occurred
when Jake was grabbing at you, trying to get you to pick him up. Your
bikini top slipped for a second, and I got my first glimpse of a nipple.”
“Oh god,” She gasped from a
mixture of embarrassment and something else.
“Five minutes later, dad caught
me starching a sock and decided to be a complete dick about it.”
“I’m sorry,” she winced.
“For what it’s worth, though, I appreciate your telling me. Nobody’s ever
starched a sock in my honor before.”
He laughed at her. “Yeah
they have, trust me.”
Lisa felt her face flush.
“Oh. Well, no one else ever told me about it.”
“Maybe no one else has been out
of his skull in lust with you for half his life.” He took a deep breath
at the same moment Lisa lost all ability to breathe.
“Braden, I’m beyond flattered,
but there’s Jake... and everything else. You know this can’t happen.”
His eyes and voice were dark as
sin as he inched closer, “I know we’re both adults, both single. I know
I’m dying to touch you. I know I can make you feel good.”
“Are you trying to kill me?” she
whispered.

What I
Loved
 |
| Braden |
I really appreciated that the protagonist in this book wasn’t
young, but was a 40 something year old mother of a teenage boy and as asshole
for an ex-husband. I love that it took a
very young and very hot man to make her wake up and finally see her own value. The sex scenes in this book were
HOT! I was definitely left a little
flushed after some of those scenes and I have to thank Julie Jaret for that
very much.
I also really loved that this story went in a whole new
direction towards the end which surprised me.
Most don’t really shock me anymore and this one did, which I really
appreciated it. I thought this story
would end one way and it didn’t, which was really kind of awesome!

This
Book Was…
Very sexy! Right off the bat, the sexiness of Braden
oozes off the pages, and immediately I couldn’t get enough of him. He was so hot, I was almost mad that none of
the guys in my neighborhood are just that sexy!
It’s not fair! The sexual
chemistry between Lisa and Braden was very hot and I loved how he pursued her
no matter what she said. I also love
that they were able to make fooling around interesting, by adding some hot
sexting moments in there as well as very hot video chats. This plot went into a whole other direction
then I thought it was going to go and that was definitely a pleasant surprise. This was a quick easy read, not just about
hot boy-next-door neighbors, but a divorced woman finding her place in the
world, which made this book all the more awesome!
