Excerpt

 Shelby brushed her lips against his, her whole body seeming to come to life. His lips were soft, his hands tight. He was enveloping her and she was completely defenseless against him.

She wrapped her arms around him as the kiss deepened, and suddenly she didn’t want to play it safe anymore. She’d been in her shell for so long and she wanted to come out of it, wanted to feel again. She dragged her tongue over his lower lip, and it seemed to awaken the beast in Drew.

He took over, the kiss going from sweet to carnal in an instant. His mouth opened, tongue sliding over hers and dominating with strength and a sensuality she’d never come across before. He kissed her long and hard, his hands molding to the curves of her body. Over and over again his tongue danced with hers. Never before had a kiss seemed so effortless. It was like they’d been kissing forever.

For a man who claimed he was socially awkward, he sure could kiss like a god.

It was getting out of hand, but she didn’t care. Nothing mattered except getting more of him. She could feel his cock under her, hardening, lengthening, getting ready for what it was meant to do. He could ease her back against the table, pull off her jeans and panties. It would be incendiary, like a rocket going off, an explosion she couldn’t contain. She could feel herself getting soft and wet and ready for him, as though her body had recognized its natural mate and wasn’t taking no for an answer.

“See, I told you we have chemistry.” His words rumbled along her lips.

She couldn’t argue with him. The world around them seemed hazy and unreal. There was nothing except his touch and scent, and the sight of his eyes looking at her like he could eat her up. She knew she should stop him, knew it was getting out of control, but she couldn’t find the will. It had been so damn long since she wanted something she could actually have.

She wanted him.

Shelby let her fingers sink into his hair, drawing him back down. Breakfast could wait. She needed more of him.







Another great read for us from Lexi Blake. The more I read her books, the more that I fall in love with each one of them. I always pick a favorite character that I love more than the others, and this time around mine is going to be Shelby. Why? So many reasons she was intelligent, patient, kind, smart, protective, had a sense of humor was driven but most of all she was just a loving and giving person who always put others first. She cared about their needs and wants before her own. I loved the chemistry she had with Drew as there was always sexual tension between the two of them right from their first meeting even before they were together. Their sexual encounters were super hot as well as sensual. I loved how she was always making bargains with Drew in order to turn things in her favor, but all along just playing along as she wanted the same things Drew did. Sneaky little vixen! Drew on the other hand was the total opposite of Shelby. I found him to be more of a *ss most of the time, protective of his siblings, dangerous, powerful, smart sexy as sin, just really sex on a stick. As the story progressed, I thought that he was less than an a** and more just socially awkward in dealing with women and messy feelings. I felt that he was lonely, not necessarily unhappy, just that he needed someone to love and care about him be and be an equal partner for him and give him hell when he needed a shove. I loved how he always thought about is brothers and sister's happiness before his own. He was so protective of them, god help the person trying to hurt them. Shelby and Drew made an awesome team when it came to trying to prove that his mother murdered his father now that Drew knows that she is alive and gunning for him and his family yet again. This story had so much going on to keep your interest. And we loved it from cover to cover. We dealt with the ups and downs with Drew's ongoing relationship with Shelby as he messes up time and time again as he just isn't good and the relationship thing. The twists and turns the story took, the surprises that popped up. I loved the siblings and their spouses and all their different personalities that added humor to the story that had you laughing out loud. Big Tag made me laugh more than once. Definitely a consent favorite of mine throughout the series. Loved how strong the women were in this story whether they carried the name Gates, Lawless, or Taggart. This for me is the type of story that you could go on and on about the things that you loved most about it and definitely goes into the keeper pile where I am sure that I will read time and time again. Looking forward to reading the rest in this series as well. 5 stars from us !
