REVIEW
Reviewed By Karen Lee
Gabby has had a crush on Cam since he showed up at her house on her 11th birthday with her brother. The decade since that first meeting, the fixation for him has not lessened but has changed into a sexually charged lust. He is gorgeous at over 6’3’’, with black hair and blue eyes and spending time with him and her brother is bittersweet. It is hard being near someone your body craves, like the air you breathe. To then watch him leave the bar with another woman is an agonizing end to every evening they are all together. But no more, she has to get over this obsession or be miserable for the rest of her life.
Cam has known for a while that Gabby has had a crush on him. As much as he would like to spend time with the beautiful brown haired, green eyed girl, he just doesn’t want to risk his relationship with Gabby or his best friend and her brother, Josh. If it ended badly, he wouldn’t survive without them in his life. So why is he clenching his fists when he sees a guy flirting and dancing with Gabby on the dance floor? Isn’t this what he wanted friendship only with no possibility of a relationship and all that comes with it? The anger that consumes him when he sees another man with his hands on her confuses him. What has he done by pushing her away, into the arms of someone else? But more importantly, how the heck does he fix it?
Good story, with character descriptions that draw you into their world. I love HEA and this author does not disappoint there. 4 stars
EXCERPT
Gabby walks by the table toting some surfer boy behind her. Anger ignites in my blood and I grind my molars to keep me from doing something stupid, and then grab my beer and take a deep pull.
Cool it, dude. Josh’s baby sister. And it’s her birthday.
Then that damn song comes on. I sit back and watch them out of the corner of my eye. When Gabby pulls him closer, I grip my bottle tighter, my muscles tense.
Mother. Fucker. Now she’s grinding on his leg. And Josh and Tiffany are bickering with each other. I can’t deal with any of this shit. I drain my beer and head to the bar for another one without a word.
“Motivation” by Kelly Rowland starts playing. Do they have to play every fuck-me song out there?
I lean back against the bar and chug my beer. Three drinks and it’s gone. I order another and head back to the table.
Gabby has her back to the asshat now and she’s doing this thing with her hips, moving lower and lower. If I wasn’t seeing red, I’d be rearranging myself.
Damn, she can move those hips.
Isn’t Josh going to do anything about this dude dry-fucking his sister on the dance floor?
Turning again, she’s back to fucking his leg. His hands move to her ass and that’s it, white-hot fury overtakes me. I slam my bottle down on the table making Tiffany jump. Josh gives me a what-the-fuck-is-your-problem look.
