Recommendation
Brad & Cherry have that classic “we love each other but we aren’t going to talk about it at all” thing going on. They’ve known each other for a long time and after a bizarre encounter, fate puts them in one another’s path again. There is a lot of back and forth banter and teasing which I love because it helps the story build and build. When it gets sexy, it gets SEXY! An enjoyable read that leaves you pleased!
Excerpts
God he's still so… built! Even bigger than I remember. That chest.. those arms. Those legs like tree-trunks. I bet they'd be so nice and warm wrapped around mine.
It's like it's eight years ago and I'm falling back into that girlish crush all over again.
It's just not so girlish anymore. It's more like a womanly hunger that needs to be fed.
I'm staring at her but I can't help it. Those lips… still so red, even though I can see there's no lipstick on them.
My heart's pounding so hard I an hear it in my ears.
And my cock… fuck! Something about how swaddled she is, how innocent, makes me hotter for her than, I dunno, the sluttiest stripper flashing her cooch for a bar-full of "patrons" ever could.
My legs spread wider, my hips pump slightly and my entrance does that slow clenching and relaxing again as he explores my folds with his tongue, making me drenched and gasping for breath.
"Mmm, fuck," he whispers, "you are delicious."
Publisher synopsis
Cherry
Spent my adult life so far moving around, chasing employment, doing work that I hate.
Except for my very first job, where I met my first serious crush.
A slightly older man… funny, built, sexy and smart. Too bad I was too shy to let on how I felt about him.
That was years ago but I still think of him all the time.
These days I’m lonely, broke, still a shy, anxious person and frankly…? I think I must be the oldest virgin in town.
Now I'm stranded in my rust-bucket, in a blizzard, on the busiest freeway in North America.
I could really use a miracle about now.
Brad
The harder you work, the luckier you get. That’s always been my mission in life and it’s served me well.
But there are things more precious than money. And time waits for no man.
My one regret? Falling for a younger woman, and letting her slip away.
Given a second chance to claim her, I'd never let her go.
This is a steamy stand-alone, first-time romance with no cliffhangers, no cheating and a glorious HEA of course!
