Excerpt

 

“You don’t get to decide where I poke my nose,” I said, and my tongue dipped out because I couldn’t push away the thought of poking my nose between her legs—but I wouldn’t tell her that. 

She pushed to her feet and started loading the packages into the bags I’d brought them in, irritation seeping from her. 

“You know, Gray. You’re a lot of things, but I’d have never guessed you a coward.” 

Now I was standing and yanking the bag away from her. “You’re correct. I am a lot of things—but a coward is not one of them.”

“The definition of a coward is one who shows disgraceful fear or timidity.” A fake oversized smile grew across her pretty face.

“Why the fuck do you know the definition of coward?”

“I took my SATs not too long ago, thank you very much. I assumed you’d know the definition since you wear it so well.” She moved to the door and yanked it open. 

“How exactly am I a coward?”

“Because you’re a scared little boy who’s afraid of my brother and afraid of his own feelings.” She stood there all cocky and sure of herself. Hell, insulting me was her favorite pastime.  

“I’m not afraid of anything, G. You’re wrong about that.” I moved through the open doorway, refusing to let her get to me. 

“I think you’re afraid of kissing me because you know it would be good and that scares the crap out of you.” 

I whipped around to see her smiling like she was proud that she was getting under my skin. But she wasn’t. I wasn’t afraid of Cade or Gigi or any of that bullshit.

I was afraid of hurting her. 

But if she needed proof, I was all too happy to give it to her. 

I moved into her space, dropping the bags at my feet. 

Her breathing stalled and she backed up against her dresser, and the door slammed shut behind me. 

“You think I’m afraid to kiss you?” I asked, my voice gruff and raw as I moved into her space. Wanting to steal the air from her lungs. 

“I think you are,” she whispered. 

One hand hooked around the back of her neck, and the other squeezed her ass as I yanked her close. My dick was so hard I thought it might tear through the denim holding him captive. My mouth crashed into hers, and there was nothing gentle about it. My tongue slipped inside her sweet mouth as her lips parted, all but inviting me in. I groaned against her soft lips as our tongues did a wild dance charged with need and desire. 

She pressed closer, and I lifted her off the ground and her legs wrapped around my waist. I rocked her slowly, moving her up and down, so she could grind up against my cock. Her breathing was erratic, and her hands tangled in my hair. She moved faster, and I knew she was close. Hell, I’d never made a chick come just from kissing her, but everything about Gigi was different. 

In the best fucking way. 

She cried out my name as her hips moved in frantic rhythm as she rode out every last wave of pleasure. I set her on her feet and took in her wild eyes. Her lips were swollen, and she pushed her hair away from her face. She appeared to be a bit stunned by the whole encounter. 

“Not afraid of kissing you, G. Just afraid we’ll both want more. And that can’t happen.” I kissed the top of her head before reaching for the two bags at my feet and walking right out the door. 

I’d need to stop home for a quick shower so I could rub it out to my latest fantasy of Gigi Jacobs coming apart in my arms from just having my mouth on hers. 

This would definitely be a new favorite.

A Kiss for a Kiss by Helena Hunting Blog & Review Tour

 A Kiss for A Kiss, an all-new surprise baby, mature adult romance from New York Times bestselling author Helena Hunting is available now!

  

I’m Jake Masterson, single dad, and the General Manager of Seattle’s NHL team. I walked away from a career as a player so I could raise my daughter. For the last twenty-plus years, Queenie has been my main priority, but now she’s getting married. 

And there’s a small complication. 

A beautiful, sexy complication named Hanna. 

She’s my son-in-law’s older sister. Or at least that’s how they were raised. The truth is a little more scandalous than that.

I’ve been drawn to her from the moment I laid eyes on her. And I spent months trying to keep a lid on that attraction. 

Until we finally give in. 

It starts with one searing kiss, but quickly ends with us between the sheets—and in the shower, and the hot tub, you get the picture—and turns into months of sneaking around.

Here’s the problem: we live on opposite ends of the country. It can’t be anything but casual. And as I’ve already said…it’s complicated. 

But when Hanna finds out she’s pregnant…suddenly things get real serious.

Excerpt

 

“You’re trouble tonight, aren’t you?” Her fingertips dance along my traps as she brushes past me. “And yes, to answer your question, I did, in fact, bring the red bikini.”

She disappears down the hall to the spare bedroom, where she’s sleeping tonight. Because I invited her to stay at my place this weekend rather than at King’s. It’s not that she isn’t welcome there. It’s more that she wants them to have their privacy. It also means I get more time with Hanna, so it’s a win all the way around. And I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t been thinking a lot about time alone with her this weekend. 

I change into my swim trunks, pour myself a scotch, heavy on the rocks, and her a glass of wine before I make my way outside. I set the drinks on the outdoor dining table, remove the hot tub cover and check the temperature, making sure it’s not too hot. 

Once I carry the drinks over and set them in the cup holders, I sink into the hot, bubbly water, stretch my arms out, let my head fall back and my eyes close. All the time I’ve been spending with Hanna is starting to get to me. 

Reminding me that I’m in my forties, and very much still a bachelor. There are a lot of reasons why getting involved with Hanna on a romantic level would not be a good idea. Queenie and King’s relationship being at the forefront. 

But she’s fun. And sexy. And we get each other. 

A minute later, the sound of the sliding door opening and closing and the slap of flip-flops against the deck have me cracking a lid. 

“You better not be sleeping already!” she calls out. 

“Not sleeping, just waiting on you.”

I watch as she pulls the tie on her robe and the terry fabric slips over her shoulders, revealing that red bikini I’m such a fan of. Hanna is all curves. Amazing curves. The kind I’ve fantasized about putting my hands on plenty of times over the past several months. And with us spending a lot more time together, it’s been hard not to give in to the constant draw. 

I rise from the water and hold out a hand as she climbs the steps. Her fingers slip into my palm, sending a jolt down my spine and a stirring inside my swim trunks. 

“Could you try to be a little less beautiful all the time?”I tease as I help her into the tub. “Could you try to have more of a dad bod?” She drags her fingers down my abs, brows waggling, a smile on her gorgeous face. “You are definitely good for my ego, Jake.” She pats me on the chest and sinks into the water on the opposite side of the tub from me. 

Which is probably a good thing since I feel like we’re playing with fire tonight. The kind I wouldn’t mind pouring a gallon of gasoline on just to watch it burn brighter. 

“That was a great engagement party. I think the kids had fun, don’t you?”She stretches her legs out. Her toes skim the outside of my thigh and I barely resist the urge to run my hand up her calf. 

I don’t know what’s in the air tonight, but things seem…different. Heightened. 

“Yeah. It was good,” I agree. She pokes me with her toe. “Then why are you frowning? You’ve been off all night. What’s going on?” With all the planning and talks we’ve been having, Hanna and I have gotten to know each other better. And she can read me pretty easily. 

“I don’t know. On one hand, I’m happy for King and Queenie and I know he’s going to be a great husband to my daughter, but I spent all these years raising her, and being there for her. They’ve been living together for months, but for some reason, it’s all kind of hitting me. It’s real now.” I take a sip of my scotch. “It’s different from when she went away to college, and even when she moved out of the pool house and in with King. There’s this hole I didn’t expect.”

“It sounds like empty nester’s syndrome.” She moves to the spot beside to me, where the glass of wine I poured her sits. 

“Is that what this is? I’m all morose and shit.”

She chuckles and props her elbow on the edge of the tub. “You need to look at it with a fresh perspective, that’s all. You’re not losing your daughter. It’s different with girls. Sure, she’s found her partner in life, but she’s always going to be your baby girl. And the two of you are so close.”

“I don’t know what to do with all of this freedom,” I admit. “My entire life up to this point has been revolved around raising Queenie and my career.”

“Which means you did your job. And that’s a good thing. Think about it, Jake. This is the great part about having a kid young. Sure, you lost out on the freedom of your twenties, but in some ways, this is even better. You’re in your forties. You have a great job, you’re in incredible shape.” She twists and pulls her knee up so it rests against my thigh, her arm extending along the back of the tub, fingertips skimming my . “You have all of your hair.”

“I’m definitely grateful for the last one,” I joke. 

“You have great hair.” She runs her fingers through it. “It’s sexy.” She bites her lip and then shakes her head. “Anyway, what I’m saying is, you’re in the prime of your life. Most people in their forties are raising teens, or maybe their kids are getting ready to go to college. You’ve done all that. Now you can just live. You can date. Have fun. Do whatever you want.”

“Fun would be good.”My gaze drops to her lips. “And I’d like to do whatever I want.”

“Me, too.” Her bottom lip slides through her teeth. “Like right now I could kiss you.”

“You definitely could.” I skim her thigh under the water with my fingertips. 

She nods. “There’s nothing stopping us.”

“So why aren’t your lips on mine yet?” I ask. 

Hanna shifts again, her wet palms come to rest on either side of my jaw, and she presses her soft lips to mine. 

I slip my hand under her hair and wrap it around the back of her neck. For a moment, I question whether this is a good idea. But when our lips part and our tongues meet, I forget all the reasons why it might not be. 

I groan as I sink into the kiss and our tongues tangle. She tastes fruity, like the wine she’s been drinking. She straddles me and settles in my lap, her breasts pressing against my chest. 

She breaks the kiss for a moment and our eyes meet. “I’ve been thinking about this for months.”

“I’ve wanted to know what your lips taste like since the first day I met you,”

 

REVIEW: 

  I loved this book, even though I wish it would have been longer. I would have liked to see some of the times they shared when they were keeping it a secret (even in flashbacks) and more of the pregnancy. The fact that they both were older was nice.

Jake was so sweet and I fell for him instantly. His initial reaction was not great, but realistic. He was always a great dad and I wanted him to get his happy ever after, and Hanna was the perfect person for him. In my opinion, being able to read the conversation he had with King would have had more of an impact and would have been better than Jake briefly mentioning it in his thoughts.
Hanna had a lot of heartache when she was younger and I was so proud of her when she finally stood up to her mom. Her relationship with King was strained and while their talk near the end of the book was nice, I wish we could see more mother/son bonding.
Jake and Hanna had a wonderful relationship, even when they were keeping it secret and not acknowledging they were in one. I hope Paxton gets a book and I can’t wait to read about the next generation, seeing Alex and Violet was great.
I have loved this series and look forward to what Ms. Hunting has coming next. This series, and this book have wedged inside my heart. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest, voluntary review.

Exclusive Excerpt: 

“I went to see my dad to talk to him about the Mongolia project, and he suggested we go for a drive.  That’s when he told me you had come all the way to his house to find me, and I asked him a...question.”  

Ian focused harder into the remnants of his breakfast.

“What question was that?”

“What was it like to love someone so much and not be loved like that in return?”  

Alex blinked as the words settled into her skin.  Ian was referring to his parents—how his dad had let his mom pursue her dreams at the expense of his happiness and how she had slipped away from him after Ryan’s death, ultimately abandoning Ian.  Alex tried to contain the singular tear spilling over the outer corner of her eye—a tear concentrated with empathic grief.   

“What did he say?”

Ian pushed his plate to the side and turned to face her, his long legs barely able to fit in the narrow space between the barstools.  “He said that it was terrible...and wonderful.” Ian reached down to wind his fingers through Alex’s.  “He said he had no regrets.” Ian closed his eyes, plucking the conversation out of his memory.  “Because epic love is rare and requires a man to let go of his fear.  But once he does, he is free to love recklessly.”  

His lids parted to reveal a depth in his irises that Alex had only seen once before, and their flames scorched her very soul.   

“I am terrified of losing you again, but I am more terrified of a life without you.”  

His lips were moving again, but the words were scattered by Alex’s quick exhale right before she pressed her mouth to his.  In her kiss, she infused all the warm, tender sweetness that bloomed in her heart.  Their meeting of lips was a sacred vow made amidst the leftover scent of maple syrup and the gentle whine of a concerned canine.  Alex pulled away, opening the drawbridge to a fortress filled with emotion that rushed to the surface, leaving a warmth to her skin and a brightness in her eyes.  

She placed her palms on either side of Ian’s face.  “You will never have to imagine a life without me.”  

Although he remained speechless, his expression, one of adoration and spectacular love, provided Alex the answer to her heart’s final question—an answer written in the glowing embers of his flame blue eyes.

I was born a monster. Cruelty ran in my veins like poison. 

It ran in the veins of every Vitiello man, passed on from father to son, an endless spiral of monstrosity. 

A born monster shaped into an even worse monster by my father’s blade and fists and harsh words.

I was raised to become Capo, to rule without mercy, to dish out brutality without a second thought. Raised to break others. 

When Aria was given to me in marriage, everyone waited with baited breath to see how fast I’d break her like my father broke his women. How I’d crush her innocence and kindness with the force of my cruelty.Breaking her would have taken little effort. 

It came naturally to me. I was gladly the monster everyone feared. 

Until her.
