Longing
Resist #2
by Lilly Avalon
Publication Date: January 27, 2015
Genre: Erotica Romance
It's been two months since Allegra walked out of Devlin's hotel room. Well, two months and five days, but she's not counting. She needs to move on, but before she can, Devlin shows up again...as her new coworker.
Seeing him at work every day is enough to make her lose her mind. Allegra tries to stay away from Devlin, knowing the effect he has on her, but she can't. The more she's around him, the more she's tempted to have something more with him. After everything that's happened in the past, it's a slippery slope that may land her in a place she never wants to revisit. Something is happening to her heart, though. A longing is building up that isn't one-sided...and doesn't feel temporary.
He wants her. She wants a forever. Is it possible to have it all?
*Longing is a full-length erotica novel, and the sequel to Resist*
Resist (Resist #1)
Longing (Resist #2)
I expect him to leave, but he continues standing in front of me. That panty-dropping cologne enters my nostrils again and I can't move. “Um, I need to...work...stuff.”
“I don't want to walk away just yet.”
What does he mean by that? My breath catches in my throat. “What are we doing?” I whisper.
He tilts his head. “Whatever you want.” His fingers graze across the edge of my jaw.
Focus, Allegra. “I...uh...” I heave a heavy sigh. “Look—we had a great night together. But that's all it was—it's what we agreed to.” A one-night stand is a one-night stand for a reason. This reason right in front of me.
“I promised you one night of passion. I didn't promise that it would be the last.”
“I never said I wanted more than that.”
He comes closer, our breaths now mingling. “Your reaction to me begs to differ.”
“Just because you can turn me on doesn't mean I want you.”
His lips quirk into a smile and he whispers into my ear, “I think that's the definition of want, princess.”
This is bad. He's twisting up my insides in several different ways. It's okay to let go once, but not twice. He's not the one. I can't give in to the temptation again without the threat of opening what I call the vault—my Pandora's Box of heartbreak. I can't think about the fact that I want to run my fingers through his soft brown hair, pulling him down closer to my face as he...
I push him away with one palm flat on his chest. He willingly steps back. “I have to get to work,” I tell him, straightening up.
“Very well. As you were.” He gives me one final glance, and then walks off.
Well, I know now that he's still interested. What I don't know is if I'm the reason he came here. It's only a matter of time before he reveals the truth to me. I just have to hope I can keep it in my pants in the meantime.

Avalon really knows how to tell a story. I mean she just takes you
for one bit of happiness to another and then moves on you with
shocking surprises that you just would not believe are actually going down! This is the work of a writer that knows just how to make her
readers fall in love with her work! Yep, you read that right! I was
just head over heels into Longing. At first, I wasn't sure
that I could move with it. This is the bad thing about me and
reading, I always like to understand the characters a bit before
reading the entire book. I am the type of person that likes to really
delve into who they are. So, this is why if you have read my reviews in the past, I am always writing such and
so and so gives depth to their characters etc. But you know, with
this book Avalon blows me away in depth! Her writing makes me feel
like I have known the main characters forever. Devlin, OMG he is my
new book boyfriend. Avalon has
outdone herself with this one and of course I know she knows it! He
is a dream guy come true, one with gorgeous eyes and a beautiful way
to make the love come singing right out of you. Now, who could want
for more? Shame on me, I forgot to mention the other main character Allegra. Well, you will learn more about her character when you read it. Ahhh, that Devlin...............mmmm those eyes!
I
rate this book FIVE great big stars and hope you enjoy it as much as
I did! Let me tell you though, there were parts in this book that made me smile from ear to ear and that means someone did something just right! Lilly you are a spectacular writer and I am sure you know it!
***I was given the book Longing by Lilly Avalon in exchange for an honest review. All review work is my own and I am pleased to provide this service for those that read my reviews.***
Lilly Avalon is the author of the erotic romances Here All Along and Resist, and the upcoming novella More Than Words.
She's somewhere in the midst of her twenties and lives mostly in the stories in her head. When she's not enveloped in the worlds she creates, she's out in the real world making stories happen. That or reading other romances. It's a toss-up.
