REVIEW
I loved the first book in this series and absolutely couldn't wait for this one. We met Noelle and Trent in the first book and could feel the tension coming from them. Trent has been in love with his sister's best friend for years and can't stand her being with other men. However, he is scared to take the leap and make his feelings for her know.
Noelle doesn't do relationships. She was burned in the past and has no desire to go down that road again. So, she gets her kicks where she can and doesn't worry about anything else. That is until she starts to realize that Trent is more than just her best friend's brother. He is sexy, dominant and an amazing father.
Just when Trent decides to make his love for her known, Jace walks into the picture. Jace moved across the street from Trent and is not ashamed to make his desire for Noelle known. He wants her and will fight to have her.
Will Trent let go and go after the woman of his dreams? Will Noelle let go of her past and get her HEA? Will Jace get the girl? In order to find out, YOU HAVE TO READ THIS BOOK!! I can't stress that enough. Just when you think you know the answer, something happens and you are back at square one. I couldn't help but root for Trent. He was so sweet, lovable and vulnerable all at the same time. The thing that got me was what he did for his ex and the mother of his son. It goes to show that he will do whatever is necessary to take care of the people he cares about, even if that means putting his own life on hold.
This book truly has it all: angst, heartbreak, sex, hot men, love and a HEA. Make sure to get your copy today, I promise you will not be disappointed in this book. The author has a great writing style that sucks you right from the beginning and keeps you hanging on right to the end. I truly loved it and I hope there are more books in this series. I fell in love with all of the characters and I seriously need more!!!
EXCERPT:
“You need to move back more. I can only think with my lady parts if you
are that close.”
He lets out a full blown laugh but moves back.
“We don’t just have us to think about, Trent. If we get together and
something happens it can affect my friendship with Erin, my dinners with your
family, time with Jason and your nieces and nephews. What if this doesn’t work
out?”
“Noelle, please stop with the ‘what ifs’?” His frustration is starting
to surface. “Can you honestly tell me that you would regret it more if we tried
and it didn’t work than if we didn’t see this through at all?”
“I don’t know and I think that’s what the problem is. I need to think
this through and figure all that out.” Standing up I grab my glass of wine and
empty it. “I need to go.”
He follows me towards the door but grabs me just before I reach it. “You
promise to think about it? Do that entire ‘pro and con’ list shit that you like
to do? Weigh all the options, Noe, because I have. I would rather you and I try
it out and promise to stay friends if it doesn’t than the alternative.”
“I promise to give some serious thought to this. You know I don’t do
long term and I know you don’t want the short term version so just let me
think,” I plead.
“Go on a date with me then. Just one. You gave Jace today, I deserve the
same don’t I?” He slides his hand down my arm and clasps my fingers around his.
“Okay. Call me tomorrow and we can make plans.” I agree standing as high
as my toes will allow and kiss him on the cheek. “Bye, Trent. We’ll talk
tomorrow.”
“Bye, Noe.” He opens the door and grabbing my face he places the
gentlest of kisses on my forehead.
Pulling my bag off my shoulder, I dig around for my keys. I don’t notice
that Jace is outside leaning on his car.
“You know the window is open?” He calls out pointing towards Trent’s
house.
I turn around and find the blinds pushed to the side so you can see
directly into the house.
“Listen, Jace. I know what that might have looked like but…”
“You don’t have to explain it to me, Noelle. I saw you push him away.”
He shoves off from his car and meets me in the middle of the street. “But I
also saw you two kiss and I have to say that hurt. I just don’t understand why
I feel so territorial over you. I don’t want him touching you. I should take
you inside my house and erase every touch of his.”
Looking down I feel guilty. If he only knew how he touched me earlier in
the night.
“Do you want him?” He asks bringing me out of my daze.
“I still don’t know,” I say with conviction looking up because I don’t
have a clue.
“Do you want me?”
“I don’t know that either.”
He’s the safer choice. If things don’t work out with Jace, or he is just
another notch on my long belt full of notches, there is absolutely no
collateral damage. There is no possibility of losing a friend or people that I
call family, and I’m attracted to Jace. I normally don’t feel so connected to
someone right away besides physically but there is something about him that
makes me want to know him better.
But I can’t lose Trent.
There is no denying the sexual chemistry between the two of us, and I
know that we would be explosive in the bedroom. Deep down inside I’ve always
wanted something with him but until today I didn’t realize it was there.
Two weeks ago I was speed dialing Chase for our monthly screw and today
I’m considering changing my casual sex dating life for one of two men who are
offering me more.
With a quick goodbye and a promise to call later this week, I head home
to try to rid myself of this horrendous headache that has slowly seeped its way
in. After I pop some medicine and take a bath I pour myself into bed.
The light from my phone blinks with waiting text messages.
Erin:
Lucy, you have some ‘splainin’ to do!
Sexy
Jace: Sweet dreams, sweet thing.
Trent:
Choose us.
I cry myself to sleep that night knowing that soon I’m going to have to
break someone’s heart…and it might be my own.
