Synopsis
It's been two months since Allegra walked out of Devlin's hotel room. Well, two months and five days, but she's not counting. She needs to move on, but before she can, Devlin shows up again...as her new coworker.
Seeing him at work every day is enough to make her lose her mind. Allegra tries to stay away from Devlin, knowing the effect he has on her, but she can't. The more she's around him, the more she's tempted to have something more with him. After everything that's happened in the past, it's a slippery slope that may land her in a place she never wants to revisit. Something is happening to her heart, though. A longing is building up that isn't one-sided...and doesn't feel temporary.
He wants her. She wants a forever. Is it possible to have it all?
*Longing is a full-length erotica novel, and the sequel to Resist*

Longing (Resist #2)
Excerpt
I expect him to leave, but he continues standing in front of me. That panty-dropping cologne enters my nostrils again and I can't move. “Um, I need to...work...stuff.”
“I don't want to walk away just yet.”
What does he mean by that? My breath catches in my throat. “What are we doing?” I whisper.
He tilts his head. “Whatever you want.” His fingers graze across the edge of my jaw.
Focus, Allegra. “I...uh...” I heave a heavy sigh. “Look—we had a great night together. But that's all it was—it's what we agreed to.” A one-night stand is a one-night stand for a reason. This reason right in front of me.
“I promised you one night of passion. I didn't promise that it would be the last.”
“I never said I wanted more than that.”
He comes closer, our breaths now mingling. “Your reaction to me begs to differ.”
“Just because you can turn me on doesn't mean I want you.”
His lips quirk into a smile and he whispers into my ear, “I think that's the definition of want, princess.”
This is bad. He's twisting up my insides in several different ways. It's okay to let go once, but not twice. He's not the one. I can't give in to the temptation again without the threat of opening what I call the vault—my Pandora's Box of heartbreak. I can't think about the fact that I want to run my fingers through his soft brown hair, pulling him down closer to my face as he...
I push him away with one palm flat on his chest. He willingly steps back. “I have to get to work,” I tell him, straightening up.
“Very well. As you were.” He gives me one final glance, and then walks off.
Well, I know now that he's still interested. What I don't know is if I'm the reason he came here. It's only a matter of time before he reveals the truth to me. I just have to hope I can keep it in my pants in the meantime.
Meet the Author
She's somewhere in the midst of her twenties and lives mostly in the stories in her head. When she's not enveloped in the worlds she creates, she's out in the real world making stories happen. That or reading other romances. It's a toss-up.
My Review
It has been 2 months since Allegra fled from Devlin’s hotel
room. She still can’t get him out of
head and she doesn’t understand why.
They agreed to a one-night stand and that’s what happened. She can’t let him in and he told her he isn’t
interested in settling down and that’s what Allegra is looking to do. Her best friend helps her set up an online
profile at an internet dating site. They
think that this will help her move along from Devlin. Then she gets a big surprise, she goes to
work one day and guess who is there? That’s
right Devlin. She figures he is just
there visiting after all, his uncle is the head of this office. She soon learns he isn’t just there to visit
he is working at this branch now.
Allegra can’t figure out why he switched offices. Did he move for her, that’s crazy? While showing him around the office she asks
him, he tells her that he will tell her in time. She is still attracted to him, she was just
finally trying to move on and now he is back.
At first Allegra fight Devlin tooth and nail. She has had a broken heart before and she
thinks that is all she will get with Devlin.
What if she gives in and after just a little bit he decides she isn’t
what he really wants or decides he doesn’t want a girlfriend after all? Allegra is so worried about her heart getting
heart she forgets that her heart isn’t the only one on the line. He lets Allegra know that he is still
interested too. Then she is worried
about if he just wants more fun in between the sheets or does he want something
more. Devlin is nothing but honest and
caring with her. He calls her
princess. He is going to let her come to
him this time. He doesn’t think so will
last very long before she caves and she doesn’t. When she does cave and come to him, he lets
her know he is interested in more than just a little fun in between the
sheets. He wants her all of her. Will Allegra’s past ruin any future she may
have will Devlin? She feels things for
him that scare her. When will Allegra
realize that maybe she isn’t the only one who is worried about ending up with a
broken heart?
I really liked this book.
Allegra spent years pinning after a boy she know from school only to
wind up extremely hurt by him. She hasn’t
really had another boyfriend since him.
She wants to move on and find the “One” but how can she do that when she
is constantly afraid of the same thing happening. She has to overcome and heal from her past
before she can truly move on. She feels
like Devlin maybe that person to help her but she gets in her own way most of
the time. She is always worried about
what if instead of focusing on the person she is with and how they are
acting. She is constantly comparing
Devlin to her ex-Mercer. They are
nothing alike; in fact they are total opposites. Devlin promises to never break her heart, but
will she break his, while he is trying not to break hers. I felt kinda bad for Devlin through parts of
the book. No matter how hard he tried he
was constantly compared to this other person.
He finally broke through to her though and showed her that he was
different. Once she gave in and stopped
fighting her feelings for him they really had a great relationship. They have an instant connection that was more
that physical. They felt so comfortable
with each other. Allegra realized that she
found herself telling him things that she doesn’t share with anyone else and
that helps her realize the Devlin in fact is different. Allegra really grows in this book. The characters in this book are great. I hope there will be more books in this
series. I am hoping that maybe Devlin’s
uncle Jack finds someone as well as Allegra’s best friend, maybe together.
