What
do you do when the one person you thought you knew turns out to be
the one you knew the least?
Twenty-three
year old Marissa Chase, and soon to be college graduate, has
everything going for her: wonderful friends, a lucrative degree, and
a chance to explore the world. What made it even better – or so she
thought – was when her path crossed with the alluring Alec Holden.
Unable to stay away from him, Marissa experiences a love like no
other, and falls into his world of passion and intrigue. However,
things begin to shift when this path takes a deadly turn.
Her
trust is put to the test when hidden dangers unfold before her,
revealing secrets that have been buried for years. Secrets that were
meant to stay hidden. Murder, lies, and betrayal … will Marissa
figure it all out in time and escape with her life intact, or will
she be too late and fall into the trap of deception?
Bending
low, he continued his torturous teasing by breathing across my neck.
My eyes fluttered closed as his lips connected with the tender flesh
at my collarbone. I shivered as the chill bumps fanned across my skin
and made me weak. His voice in my ear immediately counteracted the
chills. “If you want to call this dating, then I think that usually
requires a little bit of touching, does it not?”
My
breathing accelerated as Alec’s body grew flush with mine, leaning
dangerously against me. He tilted my head back slightly so I had to
look into his face. Slowly, I placed my hands on his hips, and
instead of touching the waist of his jeans I was met with the bare
skin of his body where his shirt had lifted up.
Holy
shit, his skin felt hot! I could feel the ridges on his sides where
they disappeared beneath his jeans, and I wanted nothing more than to
trail my tongue down the contours of his muscles.
With
hooded eyes, and a raspy, breathless voice, I replied, “I’m sure
it’s customary to withstand some touching, but not too much since I
don’t know you very well.” I said it, but my body didn’t really
mean it, and he could tell I was lying to myself.
Slowly,
he brought his hand to my face and trailed one of his long, lithe
fingers over my cheek and down my neck. “Like this,” he insisted,
swirling his finger around my neck. “Is this the kind of touching
we’re allowed to do?” Chill bumps exploded across my skin, making
me shiver.
“Yes,”
I breathed, relishing in the feel of his touch. “Just like that.”
Closing
my eyes, I sighed as he trailed his finger further down, stopping at
my navel. The heat of his breath fanned across my face as I felt him
dipping lower. I didn’t dare open my eyes and risk breaking the
connection, but I wanted to see the heat in his gaze. Ever so slowly,
his mouth connected with mine, soft and confident. He lingered for a
moment, not moving, just his lips touched lightly to mine.
I
wanted more … a lot more.
This
book knocked my socks off! Let me tell you how happy I was to finish
this one. It kept me turning the pages and LP Dover knew just how to
keep me interested in getting to the end! Dover gives her readers the
thrill of a lifetime with awesome sexual escapades, loving heartache
and a supersized dish of lust! Not to mention the swift turn of
tables and the reader is led to believe one thing after the next.
Even if it turns out wrong. Dover's work deserves an absolute 5 star
rating and a round of applause from me! LOVED IT! Get this one,
honestly I am convinced you will
love it too!
