EXCERPT:
His
hand caressed my cheek while his gaze flickered between my eyes and my lips. My
heart fluttered as it drummed an anxiously hopeful beat. What was happening
between us was inevitable, and there was no stopping the inevitable. Our breath
intertwined just as his lips brushed against mine. My body almost lost all will
to function as it hummed with need. His eyes found mine again as if seeking
permission to continue. I wasn’t about to stop him. He leaned into me once
again. I responded with a passion, a hunger.
My
arms wrapped around his neck, dropping the bottles of beer onto the rug-covered
floor. He pulled me flush against his body, and my fingers instinctively laced
through his brown hair. My tongue swept against his lower lip; his gently
massaged mine. The arms that wrapped around me engulfed me in a heaven that I
never wanted to leave. My inner desires pooled within as a moan rose up, but I
didn’t know if it came from him or me.
As
much as I didn’t want to, I broke the kiss, and as we both inhaled deeply, he
rested his forehead against mine and whispered, “Did you feel that?”
My
body strummed with desire as my heart thumped an erratic beat. I exhaled slowly
as my eyes remained closed, and I whispered, “Yes.”

MY REVIEW:
Jordan
had just finished her masters and was heading home to surprise her fiancé a day
early. She knew Ryan loved structure and
routine so she didn’t use the key to what was going to be her apartment. Instead she knocked, and then knocked
again. Then she decided to use her
key. Hearing the showering running she
instantly thought of what he looked like naked in the shower and started that
way. Only when she got there she didn’t
find him alone. She was shocked and
that’s when the trouble began. He tried
to stop her from leaving by grabbing her arms so hard he left deep bruise that
would take weeks to go away. When she
finally managed to get out of his grasp and getaway she was horrified. She spent the summer wallowing away in her
childhood bedroom. Ryan constantly
called and texted her. She asked him
several times to stop calling and texted he just kept doing it. She then went to stay with her friend
Katherine. Katherine left her friend to
feel sorry for herself for a couple more days and then decided she needed a
dose of tough love. This helped Jordan. They went out for a girl’s night that didn’t
end well. Ryan managed to find her at
the club. This lead Jordan
to decide to leave the city to get away from Ryan and try to start over. She gave up her job at a great college to
take one at a community college. After
just one day there she has an embarrassing incident with the Inn
owner’s nephew who came to fix the leak in her room. Upon seeing her in the tub Tom saw her and
felt something he hadn’t felt for any women before. He was instantly taken with her. This one incident lead to the start of their
wonderful journey. How long will it take
for Ryan to find her? Will Jordan
be able to love again after what Ryan did to her? Will Tom be able to break down all the walls Jordan
has built around herself? I really loved
this book. Ryan was totally bat shit
crazy. Sure he loved Jordan
in his own crazy way but not in a healthy way.
Jordan and Tom has an instant connection. They were drawn together by a magnet
force. Jordan
was constantly worried if she should follow her heart or listen to her
head. Worry if it was all happening to
fast, if it was to go to be true. Tom
was instantly taken with her. In the
past he normally didn’t do relationships, but there was something different
about Jordan. He felt things he had never felt before about
a woman. He just wanted to protect and
love her forever. I look forward to
reading more of Jaycee Ford’s books.
