MY REVIEW:
I received a copy for the blog tour,
this is book 3 in the series. I haven’t had the pleasure to read the first 2
yet. I plan on doing that. I thought this book was well written and the story
line was solid. Jo is in love with Cameron. But every time they get close Cam
pulls away. I thought this was a fantastic romance story. I love when Cam and
Jo are together. The connection they have is amazing. I thought this book was
brilliant. This is also the first book I have read from this author and I am
now a fan. I will definitely be reading more from this author. I recommend this
book.
Overall rating 5 stars!
“So you had a good time, huh?” Cam asked.
Jo caressed the gold leather of her shoe and trapped her bottom
lip between her teeth for a moment before looking back at him.
“It was probably one of the best dates I’ve ever had.”
You
asked, masochistic bastard.
“So you like this guy?”
“I like this guy a lot.”
Cam had no right to feel like a froth-mouthed rabid dog at the
thought of some other man having Jo. He’d spent the last decade and a half
doing everything in his power to convince her, without words, that they would
never work.
Looked like she finally believed him.
And it was a stiletto twisting in his gut. Cutting through his
good intentions. Slicing through flesh, tendon, sinew—until it reached the
evil, selfish bone. He wanted to cut the gold confection right off Jo’s lean,
curvy body. Snip it away from her lush ass and splay her on the desk. Spread
her, eat her, consume her until she didn’t even know her name. Couldn’t even
speak because pleasure stole her words, stole her breath, stole her reason.
Show her what it really felt like to be possessed by a man who couldn’t keep
his eyes off her, as hard as he’d always tried.
Who cared enough about her to keep his damn hands to himself.
It was much harder watching Jo ride off into the sunset with some
other guy than he had thought it would be. Even one so obviously perfect for
her. So obviously much better for her than he would be.
Cam stood and walked toward Jo, stopping just shy of her immediate
orbit. The truth and a lie wrestled in his mouth until they both escaped
through tight lips, sounding exactly the same.
“I’m glad.”
“He asked me out again tomorrow.” She tilted her head, considering
him like a misbehaving theorem. “Should I go?”
Cam refused his face what it wanted—to frown, scowl, furrow, squeeze
his displeasure out through each feature. Instead he freeze-dried all his
emotions for later and blanked his expression.
“I can’t tell you what to do.”
Jo searched his face with those eyes, the color of the moon and as
omniscient. So like Ms. Kris’s eyes. Not the color or the shape, but gifted
with true sight. Insight. In her wisdom, surely Ms.
Kris had seen the darkness that even now threatened to swallow Cam whole, but
she had loved him in spite of it. And Jo had those eyes, too, only something
had changed since he had so deliberately hurt her in New York with Etty.
Something in Jo’s heart was dying a slow but certain death. Probably the
misplaced affection she’d held on to for years. He wasn’t sure if he wanted to
place a pillow over its head or give it mouth-to-mouth. Kill or save. Alive or
dead, it threatened his peace of mind.
