Sometimes life throws us curve balls.
Jake Donovan was mine.
It was supposed to be a one-time thing. A birthday gift for my girlfriend Willow. He wasn't supposed to have this effect on me.
But he did.
He wasn't supposed to consume me.
But he did.
He wasn't supposed to touch me in places no other man had before.
But he did.
And I wanted him to do it again.
REVIEW: 4.5 STARS
"Frozen in place by his kiss, and his words, I watched him walk away, wondering if he wasn't the only one losing control."
This book was FUN! and HOT! and STEAMY! Holy cow...wow. I have read a few of Beth Michele's book, but I definitely think this one was her hottest one yet! Did I mention it was hot? No.....hmmm.
"Before he came along, I'd all but forgotten what this felt like. Not being able to keep your hands off someone, consumed by thoughts of touching them, fucking them."
I didn't highlight much as I was reading through this quick novella, because once I got into the story, I was sucked right in. Literally!! But one thing that stood out for me was when Colt finally accepted that maybe he's denying himself something that is instrumental to who he is. The setup, while it was a tad bit awkward at first, proved to be the perfect catalyst for their story. Once Colt seeming to come to terms with what he was feeling, it was one hot meeting after another. And pssst......Jake was one sexy, cocky son-of-a-gun!!! I liked that he made Colt squirm and made him feel things he couldn't explain himself.
Not a lot I can say and not give anything away, novella size and all, but I definitely liked the fact that it had a full sized "punch" when it came to the feelings. I felt the insecurity, the curiosity, and the relief that came once Colt realized who he was and was able to admit it and move forward with his desires.
For being a novella, I didn't feel like the story was lacking anything....which is crazy for me. I'm not a huge novella reader because it usually lacks a buildup and a smooth transition from scene to scene without feeling jumpy and "quick". The pacing was great, the characters were fleshed out pretty well, and the ending was PERFECT. It made me have a little giggle-smile there! This was a really great story and I can easily recommend it!!
"That hint of vulnerability -- another glimpse into his heart -- made me want to do it all the more."
