Excerpt

Copyright 2024, Diana A. Hicks

When we reached the lobby, I threw my arms around Dom’s neck. “Darling, it was so good to see you.”“Always a pleasure.” Dom winked at then headed for the door.“I’m glad the condition of the hotel hasn’t deterred your clients,” Henry said from the bar. That was a low blow. But if that was how he wanted to play it, fine. “He was here for me, darling. I was all he could see.” I took out the check and showed it to him. “Oh, Dom. Always so generous.” “That’s a lot of cash for just a few minutes.” Henry pursed his lips.“I’m very good at what I do.” I stepped toward him. I had no doubt in my mind this was Henry Cavalier. His boyish smile had been replaced by a half smirk, though his mouth hadn’t changed much. He had the same full lips, soft and sexy. Like his mood, his hair had gone from dark blond to dark brown to match his eyes. Even though he was a foot taller than me now and built like a quarterback, there was something familiar and comforting about him. His face gave nothing away, but the vein throbbing in his temple told me what I needed to know. For some reason, he was affected by all the fake-sex I’d just had. Did he care about me? I met his gaze. His eyes were full of regret and anger—those beautiful eyes that so long ago looked at me with such tenderness and helped me get through the worst months in my life. The same eyes that had promised we’d be together forever. Why was he mad at me? He wasn’t the one who left Paradise Creek with a heart broken into a million pieces. He lied to me. He hurt me, not the other way around. “Cut the crap.” He closed the space between us. “We both know you didn’t have sex with that guy.” “Oh yeah? Why is that?” I placed my hands on my waist, fighting the urge to throw my arms around his neck and kiss him. “Because you’re here. If I had that kind of cash, it’d be days before I let you out of my bed.”

Review: Steel Princess - Rina Kent

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he...

Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she...
