Excerpt

 

As they neared, Summer couldn’t take her gaze off the dark-blond-haired guy.  Her attraction to Rick had always simmered beneath the surface, a flirtation they’d both indulged in but he’d never pursued up to this point.  But her awareness of the other man was immediate and incendiary, and she knew that intense connection had to do with his sharp, laser-focused gaze that slid down the length of her body with unapologetic lust, along with the seductive smile touching his full lips that promised a night of sinful pleasure. 

Her dress molded to her curves, and by the time he was done devouring every dip and swell of her fuller figure, she felt as though he’d stripped away the nude-colored fabric and she was already standing naked in front of him.  Her nipples beaded almost painfully, her belly fluttered, and she had to clench her thighs together to appease the throbbing ache in between. 

She shifted on her heels, suddenly nervous as the duo stopped in front of her—but more than willing to see where this meet and greet led. 

“Hi, Rick,” she said, her voice breathless as she acknowledged the man she already knew. 

“Summer,” he replied, the corner of his mouth curling into a sexy, inviting grin before he indicated the man next to him. “I’d like you to meet my stepbrother, Declan Burke.”

His stepbrother?  She blinked in surprise as she met the other man’s mesmerizing hazel eyes, now glimmering with amusement over her shocked reaction.  “So, you two are related?” she asked, still trying to process that bit of information.

“Sort of,” Declan said, a touch of humor vibrating in his deep voice, despite his more guarded and reserved personality.  “My mother married Rick’s father, and we got stuck with each other as siblings.  Of course, I’m the better-looking of the two.”

She smiled at his teasing comment.  They were both gorgeous men in their own right—clean-cut, smooth-shaven, classically handsome Rick, with his black hair and green eyes and athletically honed body, versus the more rugged Declan, with his dark blond hair, a day’s worth of sexy stubble covering his jaw, and a well-built physique that conveyed subdued power and strength.  His wide shoulders filled out the white dress shirt he wore, and there was no mistaking the muscular chest, tight abdomen, and sinewy arms concealed beneath the fabric.

Black slacks hugged Declan’s narrow hips and lean thighs, and she caught herself just as her wandering gaze swept across the ample bulge filling out the front of his pants.  He wasn’t hard—yet—and as she bounced her gaze back up to his, she couldn’t help but wonder, if he was that generously endowed when flaccid, how much bigger would he be when completely erect?  The naughty images filling her mind made her mouth go dry, as did the insightful smirk on his face.          

She swallowed hard to moisten her parched throat and extended her hand toward him. “It’s nice to meet you, Declan.”

Instead of sliding his much larger palm against hers in a traditional handshake as she was anticipating, he picked up her hand and lifted it to his mouth, then skimmed his lips across her knuckles in a feathery kiss.  His gaze met hers, pure temptation heating his eyes. 

“The pleasure is all mine, kitten,” he murmured.

His husky voice, combined with the intimate pet name he’d just given her, made her weak in the knees.  “And here I thought Rick was the charming one.”

Rick laughed.  “Don’t let all that sweet talk fool you,” he said with humor.  “Declan is only charming when he wants something.”

“It’s true.”  Declan shrugged unapologetically as he released her hand, and she immediately missed the warmth of his touch.  “I wanted you the moment you walked into the VIP lounge.”

His candid words were filled with a seductive determination she wasn’t immune to—nor did she want to be.  

 

REVIEW


While this book was steamy a majority of the time, the desires the characters had when they were intimate wasn’t all there was to this book. Summer finally got invited to the club all of her friends go to, and was immediately drawn to Rick and Declan. Everything they did in the private room was consensual and hot. I had to forget that Rick and Declan were step brothers because it was hard for me to believe that they would share Summer.
Summer knew what she wanted and was drawn more to Declan. Declan claimed Summer after their night. The only problem, he is only home for three weeks and insists there is no future for them. As the weeks pass both of them develop feelings (she admits hers and he insists on ending things). He doesn’t want her to wait for him.
The reasons he has for no strings relationships are heartbreaking and understandable. Can Declan see his mistake in time or will he lose Summer to someone else? I can’t wait for Rick’s story. He stepped aside when he realized the extent of Declan and Summer’s feelings for the other. A great book. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest, voluntary review.
