SYNOPSIS:
Lark Williams
leads a fast-paced life, always on the edge of danger. Running from his past
and fighting to keep his present life a secret, he keeps his heart out of reach
from love. The walls he built around himself come crumbling down when he meets
Azurdee Emerson.
Azurdee lives a
peaceful life in the small town of Wimberley, Texas. Her tame world quickly
becomes heated as she begins to fall in love with Lark. He’s everything she has
vowed to stay away from—dark and mysterious, and not to mention, sexy as hell
and full of secrets.
Just as Lark and
Azurdee give in to their feelings of love, Lark’s present life threatens the
safety of the one person he would sacrifice his own happiness for. When Lark
finds history repeating itself, he makes a decision that will forever change
both of their lives, leaving one heartbroken and lost and the other fighting to
survive.
Review
I feel like I have waited for this book for forever, but
really it has not been that long. When
we first seen Lark and Azurdee together, you knew they would be explosive. What I wasn’t prepared for was just how
explosive! Let’s just say that at times
I don’t think a fire hose would have put out their flames.
We knew
from previous book that Lark was closed off and had no desire to be tied down
by anyone. What we didn’t know was
why. When you find out in this book, you
can’t help but feel sympathetic for him.
He suffered a great loss and has guarded his heart ever since. However, when he meets Azurdee, he knows that
his walls won’t last long.
Azurdee
has cared about Lark from the first moment they met. She knows that he has a mysterious past and
his lifestyle is wild, but she can’t help but want him. She craves him and knows that no one else
will do. When they finally come
together, he makes her feel so special and she finally believes she may get her
HEA.
However, not everything is smooth
sailing. Despite how they feel for each
other, they both know their lives are complicated and any relationship will be
hard. When their love is tested, will
they be able to stay together? Will they
be able to overcome their past and the secrets that are hidden?
I have read and love all of Kelly
Elliott’s books and I couldn’t wait to read this one as well. I knew it was going to be somewhat different
due to the nature of Lark’s job, but I couldn’t wait. This book sucks you in right from the beginning
and you can’t help but fall in love with Lark and Azurdee. They are truly perfect for each other, Lark
with all his hardness, mysterious job and guarded heart and Azurdee with her sweet,
all-consuming love for Lark.
I truly enjoyed this book and I
know you will as well. Kelly did a great
job and I can’t wait to read the next book in The Journey to Love Series,
Undeniable Love, about Lark’s older brother Tristan. What are you waiting for? Make sure to 1-Click your copy today!!

Hello? Jessie?”
“What did you just ask me?” she said.
I chuckled. “After your first time. Were
you sore?”
Then she screamed. Right in my ear.
“Azurdee! You and Lark? Oh. My. God. Was it good? I mean, I know it hurts at
first, but after that? How many times did y’all? Was he sweet to you? That
bastard better have been sweet to you! Was it hot? Oh my God, tell me
everything!”
I laughed as I made my way downstairs. I
saw about a half dozen people out back cleaning up the rest of the reception.
Tables and chairs were being taken down and placed into a trailer.
“Azurdee!”
“Oh, sorry. I was watching them take down
the rest of the things from the reception.”
She let out a long sigh and said,
“Azurdee, spill it.”
I moved into the living room and sat down
on the sofa. “Oh Jessie, it was amazing. He was amazing. He kept calling me mi amor! It melted my heart
every time he said it. He was sweet, passionate, and so gentle. It was beyond
anything I had ever dreamed.”
She let out the silliest little yelp. “I
knew Lark Williams had it in him.
He just needed to find the right girl.”
My stomach dipped a little and my smile
faded a bit. “Well, I’m not sure if I’m the right girl or even the girl.”
“Wait. Was this a one-time thing? Please
tell me you didn’t agree to him taking your virginity and walking away!”
“No. We both agreed that we would be
exclusive, but I have a feeling this is the first time he has been exclusive
since…well since…” Why couldn’t I say her name?
“Nikki?” Jessie asked.
“Yes. Jessie, why do I feel like I’m in
competition with someone who passed away years ago? I can’t shake this feeling
that he was comparing me to her.”
She let out a breath and said, “Pesh.
Nonsense, Azurdee. He would never do that. I’m sure it was probably just very
powerful for him. I mean, by his own admission he has said he has no intentions
of ever…”
Her voice trailed off and I knew she was regretting
what she had just said. “Jessie, I knew how Lark was and how he thought when I
got into this. I know he could walk away at any given moment.”
I silently prayed that would never
happen, but deep down inside I knew it was a strong possibility.
“He won’t walk away, sweetie. I see the
way he looks at you. I think you are the game changer he’s been waiting for.”
I bit down on my fingernail and began
chewing it. “Maybe. I don’t want to get my hopes up, ya know?”
“So
tell me…are you sore?” she asked with a giggle.
I felt like a teenager in high school.
“Let’s just say he told me he was going to make it so I would think about him
every time I moved…for a few days.”
Jessie let out a gasp and began laughing.
“Oh my.”
I dropped my head back onto the sofa and
said, “Jessie…he is amazing. I mean…the way he can be so sweet and then so
dirty. Oh God. He had me going insane with lust for him.”
“The sweet part surprises me, but not the
dirty,” she said with a laugh. I laughed in return and said, “Four times.”
“Four times! Look at the stamina Mr.
Williams has!”
We both lost it in a laughing fit.
“Jesus, Azurdee. No wonder you’re sore.”
“Bed twice, bathtub once, and then the
shower,” I said in an almost whisper.
