Devon Pratt loves many things in life. The beauty of flowers. The yin and yang of energy. The power of positivity in people. And everything to do with the Christmas season.

As a floral shop owner in the beach town of Cape May, she looks forward to decorating both the town and running the annual holiday party to benefit the local animal shelter. Too bad the new owner of her favorite venue is more like the Grinch than Santa. Working with him will be a challenge, but she’s too full of seasonal cheer to let him annoy her, right?

Jameson Franklin hates many things in life. Crowds. Fake cheer. Ostentatious décor. And especially Christmas. The season is full of things he’d rather avoid, but since taking over the popular restaurant Vintage temporarily for his cousin as a favor, he’s trying to play nice with the locals. Too bad the florist is insisting on overrunning his sacred space with blooms, dogs, and an endless positive persistence that pushes all of his buttons. But when too many heated confrontations lead to heated encounters, he begins to wonder what it would be like to love not only Christmas, but Devon Pratt.

Let the festivities begin.

REVIEW:CHRISTMAS IN CAPE MAY is book 3.5 in Jennifer Probst’s contemporary, adult SUNSHINE SISTERS erotic, romance series, a part of the 1001 Dark Nights multi-authored series. This is restaurateur Jameson Franklin, and florist Devon Pratt’s story line. CHRISTMAS IN CAPE MAY can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

Told from omniscient dual third person perspectives (Devon and Jameson) CHRISTMAS IN CAPE MAY follows the building but contemptuous romance and relationship between our story line couple. Cape May restaurant owner Mac was taking a leave of absence, and brought in his cousin Jameson Franklin to manage the popular family restaurant known as Vintage but from the outset Jameson’s need to make changes sets everyone on edge including florist Devon Pratt. Jameson refuses to host the upcoming fund raiser for the local animal shelter, and Devon is about to show Jameson the power of small town control. As Jameson continues to alienate the folks of Cape May, Devon sees behind the pain, and into the heart of a man who’s struggling to thrive. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Devon and Jameson, and the potential fall-out as Jameson’s time in Cape May comes to a close.

The world building focuses on Jameson’s need to update and change his cousin’s restaurant but the people in Cape May like things the way they are, and Jameson is about to rile the proverbial feathers of the tight-knit small town. Devon Pratt warned Jameson Franklin that his changes would not be approved but Jameson struggles with the approaching holidays, and wants nothing to do with tradition or songs.

The relationship between Jameson and Devon begins acrimoniously as our couple butt-heads from the first time they met. Jameson need changes, and Devon warns that change is not good, nor has it ever been approved. With the arrival of the world’s largest puppy, Devon and Jameson find themselves sharing custody of a dog no one wants, and in the end, the love for a puppy becomes the love between two people battling the loneliness of the holidays. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

The secondary and supporting characters are familiar and fun: Avery and Carter, Bella and Gabe, Taylor and Pierce. We are introduced to restaurant owner Mac, his employees, and Bear.

CHRISTMAS IN CAPE MAY is a fast paced, quick read; a story of family and friendships, love and acceptance. The premise is entertaining, engaging and sweet; the romance is seductive; the characters are energetic and enthusiastic.

The food critic…
Miranda Storme once gave her body and soul to Gavin Luciano, but he took her love and walked away without a word. Now he’s back. He may look even sexier than he did three years ago.

Still, as an established food critic who ends up in his restaurant, there’s only one thing on her mind. Revenge…

The restaurateur…
Gavin Luciano walked away from the family business and his lover years ago. He thought power and money would make him happy. Now he realizes his mistake and comes home to right his wrongs. He has three months to make his family’s struggling Italian restaurant successful, and a bad review is Gavin’s worst nightmare. But this isn’t just about the meal. He’s finally realized what he left behind and is determined to spend the next eight weeks proving himself to Miranda in the kitchen…and in the bedroom. This is one dish she won’t be able to refuse.

•••••

REVIEW: UNBREAK MY HEART by Jennifer Probst is a stand alone, contemporary, adult, erotic, romance story line focusing on thirty year old businessman/restaurateur Giovanni ‘Gavin’ Luciano, and food critic Miranda Storme’s story line.

Told from omniscient dual third person perspectives (Gavin and Miranda) UNBREAK MY HEART follows the second chance romance and relationship between thirty year old businessman/restaurateur Giovanni ‘Gavin’ Luciano, and food critic Miranda Storme. Three years earlier, Gavin destroy Miranda Storme when he took a job overseas,leaving the woman he loved behind. Fast forward to present day, Gavin has returned home to help save the family business, an Italian restaurant that is struggling to stay afloat but Gavin’s struggle is compounded when the woman he destroyed writes a scathing review about his family restaurant, destroying any hopes of a second chance for both their relationship and the life. What ensues is the rebuilding romance and relationship between Miranda and Gavin, and the potential fall-out as Gavin’s time in America comes with an expiry date, a date Miranda sees as another abandonment by the man she once loved.

The world building focuses on the rekindling romance and relationship between our leading couple, a relationship in which secrets are about to break both of their hearts. Gavin is battling between head and heart, trying to keep the family business afloat, while Amanda struggles with her attraction to the man who broke her heart. We are up close and personal with the family fight to stay open, and Gavin’s fight between his head and his heart.

The relationship between Gavin and Miranda is one of second chances; a relationship destroyed by Gavin’s need for money, power and to make it on his own but when Gavin left, he left more than he could have ever imagined. Miranda continues to struggle with issues of trust, and Gavin’s proclamation of love, also comes with the possibility of walking away, without looking back. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate, without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

The secondary and supporting characters include the feisty Luciano family, whose patriarch is constantly quoting ‘Frank Sinatra’ songs. We are introduced to Gavin’s brother Brando, their parents, as well as Miranda’s friend Andy and Laura, and fellow food critic and foe Allison Wheaton.

UNBREAK MY HEART is a story of love and loss, family and relationships, misunderstanding and forgiveness. The fast paced premise is captivating and heart breaking ; the characters are animated and dynamic; the romance is spicy and tender.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date February 21, 2023

Tessa Harper, makeover queen of a self-care media empire, loves a challenge. But when she’s forced to satisfy her female readership’s growing interest in sports, Tessa reluctantly seeks out Ford Maddox. The popular sportscaster, annoying friend of her bestie, and long-time sparring partner agrees to strike a deal. He’ll give Tessa his expertise if she’ll give him hers. Namely a makeover to help him get past the friend zone with the woman of his dreams.

Ford has always considered Tessa to be nothing more than a pampered elitist. But if she can turn his rough style and attitude into boyfriend material, it’s worth the aggravation. The plan is working. The problem is, Ford’s also starting to see Tessa in a new light. And there’s more to the complicated woman than meets the eye.

Ford is falling hard. But is he ready to give up his ideal love to take a chance on an opinionated, independent spitfire who’s turning his life—and his heart—upside down?

•••••

REVIEW: SAVE THE BEST FOR LAST is the third and (final?) instalment in Jennifer Probst’s contemporary, adult TWIST OF FATE erotic, romance series focusing on three friends (Chiara, Malia, Tessa) who own Quench, an online magazine that focuses on self-care for women. This is makeover specialist Tessa Harper, and sports journalist/radio broadcaster Ford Maddox’s storyline. SAVE THE BEST FOR LAST can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

Told from dual third person perspectives (Tessa and Ford) SAVE THE BEST FOR LAST follows the frenemies to lovers relationship between makeover specialist Tessa Harper, and sports journalist/radio broadcaster Ford Maddox. Tessa and Ford are co-godparents to Malia and Palmer’s daughter Veronica (SO IT GOES #2) but our couple struggle to remain civil in one another’s presence. One night together, babysitting Veronica, ends with Ford asking for Tessa’s help, and Tessa demanding a favor in return. Ford has fallen in love with a co-worker, a co-worker who sees Ford as only a friend, and with Tessa’s help, Ford is hoping to woo the woman towards a happily ever after but Ford never expected to fall for our story line heroine, a woman who may have more in common than he could have ever expected. Tessa Harper wants nothing to do with transforming Ford Maddox, but Quench is hoping to attract a new audience, and Ford may be the person for the job. What ensues is the building but acrimonious relationship between Ford and Tessa, and the fall-out when Ford’s make-over is more successful than Tessa could have imagined.

Tessa Harper has watched from the sidelines as her friends and business partners fell in love, and Tessa wanted her own happily ever after but there were no potential love matches on the horizon, as everyone she met eventually disappeared. Ford Maddox liked his life but wanted something more. Having fallen in love with Patricia, two years before, Ford knew he needed help, opting to admit defeat when having to ask Tessa for help.

Meanwhile café owner and their former business partner Roni’s father Mike is struggling in his attempts to ask out high school teacher Emma Primm. Mike’s lack of competence is heightened when Mike suspects Emma is seeing someone else. Hoping for a love match, Tessa, Malia and Chiara set a plan into motion to help Mike with his dating conundrum.

The relationship between Ford and Tessa is a frenemies to lovers. There is no explanation as to the how or why of their tempestuous rapport but sometimes people just don’t get along. Tessa struggles with Ford’s lack of finesse and sophistication, and Ford only has eyes for a woman who may be out of his league. As Tessa works her magic with Ford, our couple find themselves pulled into the aura that is attractions and lust. The $ex scenes are intimate and energetic without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

The secondary and supporting characters are colorful and familiar. We are reintroduced to Tessa’s business partners: Malia and Palmer, Chiara and Sebastian, cafe owner Mike, and high school teacher Emma Primm, as well as Ford’s co-worker Patricia, and Tessa’s uncles Bart, Vincent and Dom.

SAVE THE BEST FOR LAST is a story of family, friendships, and relationships; animosity and acceptance, attraction and love. The premise is amusing and pleasant; the characters are sassy, dynamic and animated although Tessa’s snobbish attitude was a little off-putting; the romance was seductive and sensual.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date September 13, 2022

The truth? Lonely advertising rep Malia Evergreen is still waiting for a soulmate, marriage, and a family. The lie? Telling every busybody she knows that she’s met someone.

In a pinch she strikes a bargain with her former client, CEO Palmer Matterson—an arrogant, defiantly single, alpha billionaire whose best quality is insincerity. The perfect fake date.

As fate throws them together, Malia unravels the layers of the man she thought she knew and, against the odds, finds herself falling in love. Palmer’s falling too. If only they can convince each other what they share…a belief in a happy ever after

•••••

REVIEW:SO IT GOES is the second instalment in Jennifer Probst’s contemporary, adult TWIST OF FATE erotic romance series focusing on three friends (Chiara, Malia, Tessa) who own Quench, a women’s online magazine. This is thirty-two year old, advertising rep Malia Evergreen, and forty year old,CEO of Endless Vows Bridal Company billionaire Palmer Matterson’s story line. SO IT GOES can be read as a stand-alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous storyline is revealed where necessary.

Told from dual third person perspectives (Malia and Palmer) SO IT GOES follows the acrimonious relationship between thirty-two year old, advertising rep Malia Evergreen, and forty year old,CEO of Endless Vows Bridal Company billionaire Palmer Matterson. For approximately one year, Quench has been the primary online advertising firm for Palmer Matterson’s Endless Vows Bridal company but the business relationship between Palmer and Malia is tempestuous, at best. For some reason, Malia Evergreen took an instant disliking to our story line hero, a disliking that has affected their relationship going forward. Preconceived notions about the billionaire businessman haven’t set well with Malia Evergreen but when Malia left Quench to work for a non-profit organization, she quickly discovers her first big client is the man the pushes all of her buttons. Forced to work together for a cause, Malia continues to struggle with her attraction to a man she doesn’t like but a man who is about to propose a mutually beneficial arrangement. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Malia and Palmer, and the fall-out as Malia and Palmer want something different going forward.

Malia Evergreen’s attitude is cantankerous and rude. Our heroine wants nothing to do with Palmer Matterson believing he is an arrogant and self-centered businessman out for himself but Malia’s ideas and feelings are not based in fact, and she continues to battle between head and heart, falling for the man who has stolen her heart. Palmer Matterson has lusted after Malia Evergreen since their first meeting together but Malia’s attitude bordered on abusive whenever they were together. Hoping to change her mind, Palmer offers a solution, a fake-relationship for public consumption but a relationship that is about to turn into something more.

The relationship between Malia and Palmer begins acrimoniously as Malia wants nothing to do with our story line hero. Her behavior and demeanor is often immature and childish, and it doesn’t bode well for the man with whom she will fall in love. Malia’s temperament is questionable in the face of preconceived notional and a judgemental attitude; Palmer Matterson wants Malia to give him a chance. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top sexually graphic language and text.

The secondary and supporting characters are numerous including several members of the charity organization, and Palmer’s assistants Andrea and Emeril, as well as Palmer and Malia’s extended families. We are reintroduced to Malia’s business partners at Quench, Chiara and Tessa, cafe owner Mike, and high school teacher Emma Primm.

SO IT GOES is a story of family, friendships, and relationships; of determination and independence, of acceptance and love. The premise is engaging and enjoyable; the romance is seductive; the characters are charismatic but desperate-Malia’s temperament and perspective did little to endear her to this reader. Similar to Chiara and Sebastian’s relationship and story, the heroine is difficult to like.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date April 19, 2022.

It’s been two years since Chiara Kennedy lost her dearest friend, Rory. Chiara misses everything about her. Rory’s widowed husband is another story. Sebastian Ryder is a man Chiara had secretly wanted, let slip away, and hoped to never see again. Then fate throws them together for an unexpected one-night stand and a morning after of new challenges.

Sebastian had a soul mate in Rory. Shutting down after his tragic loss, he kept a cool distance from everyone—including Chiara, with whom he once shared a deep if fleeting affection. That was over and done with a long time ago. But when they meet again, old emotions resurface along with a heart-wounding past that haunts them both.

As Chiara and Sebastian grow closer, finally getting to know each other, Chiara struggles with feelings of guilt even as she cherishes her second chance with Sebastian. Will fate allow them to overcome the past, or are they destined to always wonder if they are truly meant to be?

••••

REVIEW:MEANT TO BE is the first instalment in Jennifer Probst’s contemporary, adult TWIST OF FATE romance series focusing on three friends (Chiara, Malia, Tessa) who own Quench, a women’s online magazine. This is Quench editor in chief Chiara Kennedy , and high school guidance counselor Sebastian Ryder.

Told from dual third person perspectives (Chiara and Sebastian) following three timelines MEANT TO BE focuses on the acrimonious relationship between Quench editor in chief Chiara Kennedy, and high school guidance counselor Sebastian Ryder. Five years earlier Chiara Kennedy and Sebastian Ryder met and spent one glorious night talking about life, love and everything it had to offer but Chiara believed it would never work between one another, and walked away without looking back until months later, her best friend and co-owner at Quench, Rory, introduced everyone to her new boyfriend Sebastian Ryder. Three years would pass, until the day Sebastian and Quench would lose Rory to a car accident, an accident that left Sebastian a shell of his former self. Fast forward to present day, Chiara and Sebastian, who haven’t spoken to one another in close to five years, would reconnect at a local bar, a bar where Sebastian and Chiara’s life would take a fateful turn. A one-night stand leaves Sebastian wondering about the what ifs and whys, and a guilt-ridden Chiara to worry about betraying her best friend and the memories they held. What ensues is the building but contemptuous relationship between Chiara and Sebastian, and the potential fall-out as Chiara is unable to let go of the guilt and grief leaving a heart broken Sebastian to wonder where everything went wrong.

Chiara Kennedy is a strong willed, independent, assertive and determined thirty something woman whose fast paced life style doesn’t leave room for romance or love. On the fast track to success, Chiara refuses to acknowledge her attraction to Sebastian Ryder, the man who once starred in her fantasies and dreams but the man to whom her best friend was once married. Keeping her distance from Sebastian wasn’t easy but as the years past, the anger grew towards the man with whom she would fall in love. Sebastian Ryder has never stopped thinking about the woman that got away but falling in love with Rory meant a chance at happiness, although a brief happiness until his world fell apart.

The relationship between Chiara and Sebastian is one of second chances, of a sorts, in the wake of what was and what will never be. Chiara broke Sebastian’s heart when she told him it would never work out but when Chiara refused to acknowledge their previous connection, Sebastian found himself on the outside looking in with the woman he loved. Struggling to convince Chiara to give him a second chance only pushed our couple further apart until fate intervened pulling our couple in another direction. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

We are introduced to Chiara’s friends and partners at Quench: Malia Evergreen, and Tessa; Rory’s father and café owner Mike; high school English teachers Emma Primm, and Pete Kempsey; Sebastian’s friend and volunteer at the Dream On Youth Center Ford.

MEANT TO BE is a story of grief, betrayal and loneliness, guilt and acceptance, second chances and love. The premise is engaging; the characters are spirited ; the romance is fated but saying that the relationship between Chiara and Sebastian was challenging-Chiara was not a likeable heroine, and in this I struggled to like the overall story. Chiara Kennedy’s attraction to Sebastian was overridden by her guilt about her friendship with Rory, and the ongoing lie she perfected about meeting Sebastian years before. Throughout the story line Chiara is almost insensitive and cold towards our story line hero, spending most of her time distancing from Sebastian; pushing her attraction down, pulling away from the man with whom she would fall in love. There is plenty going on in and between their lives but Chiara refuses to admit or accept the attraction or what was always meant to be.

True love is in the details for the Jersey shore’s premier wedding planner in this heart-swooning series about big dreams and happy endings from New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Probst.

Avery Sunshine might not have a soul mate of her own, but she still believes in happily ever after—for her clients. Making dreams come true is her business at Sunshine Bridal, which she runs with her two sisters. When her best friend announces her engagement, Avery is thrilled to take charge of the giddy bride-to-be’s big day. Less thrilling? Her best friend’s arrogant and demanding brother, who just so happens to be the man of honor.

Carter Ross’s first instinct: call 911. He promised to always take care of his impulsive little sister, and he honors that vow. Even if it means taking over her wedding, where he is sure Avery will fail. At best, Avery is unpredictable. At worst, if she’s anything like the spitfire of a college girl he remembers, the main event could run wild.

With Avery and Carter wrestling for control, tempers heat up. So does the spark of attraction they’re fighting with every kiss. As the wedding draws near, it’s time to reconcile a rocky past and make a decision that could change everyone’s lives. Because what they’re rebelling against looks a lot like love.

REVIEW:LOVE ON BEACH AVENUE is the first instalment in Jennifer Probst’s contemporary, adult THE SUNSHINE SISTERS erotic, romance series focusing on the Sunshine Sisters: Avery, Bella and Taylor. This is thirty-two year old, wedding planner Avery Sunshine, and forty-year old, computer specialist Carter Ross’s story line.

Told from dual third person perspectives (Carter and Avery) LOVE ON BEACH AVENUE follows the building relationship between thirty-two year old, wedding planner Avery Sunshine, and forty-year old, computer specialist Carter Ross. When her best friend from college, Ally Ross, asks Avery to be the planner for her upcoming wedding Avery knew she was in trouble when Ally brought along her brother Carter, the bane of our heroine’s existence. From the start, Carter pushed all of Avery’s buttons but when Ally had to return home to Texas for an emergency Avery discovered Ally left Carter in charge. All of Avery’s suggestions were met with negativity and challenge, and in the end, Avery wondered what had crawled up Carter’s a$$ and died. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Carter and Avery, and the fall-out when Carter’s time in New Jersey, comes to a close.

Carter and Avery have butted heads for as long as they could remember. Carter, having raised his sister upon the death of their parents, struggled with what he believed to be Avery’s undo influence over his sister’s life choices growing up. Avery Sunshine knew she was a great wedding planner but finding time for love may have passed her by. Falling for Carter Ross was never in the plans especially when Carter proclaimed that he didn’t believe in love or happily ever afters.

The relationship between Carter and Avery begins acrimoniously as there are prior encounters between our couple. Carter blames Avery for steering his sister into times of trouble, and Avery believes Carter is hoping to destroy her life. The $ex scenes are passionate and intense without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

We are introduced to Avery’s sisters Bella, and Taylor and Bella’s daughter Zoe; as well as wedding assistant Gabe Garcia, and photographer Pierce Powers. Bella and Gabe’s story is next in Temptation on Ocean Drive.

LOVE ON BEACH AVENUE is a fun and flirty story line. The premise is engaging and light-hearted with a little bit of drama and conflict; the romance is seductive; the characters are colorful, energetic and real.

TEMPTATION ON OCEAN DRIVE
The Sunshine Sisters #2
by Jennifer Probst
Release Date:August 25, 2020

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / B&N(paper) / Chapters Indigo (paper) /

Young widow Bella Sunshine-Caldwell is focused only on raising her daughter and running the family business, Sunshine Bridal. There’s no time for romance—especially with her fellow wedding planner, Gabe, whom she’s growing increasingly attracted to. He’s too enterprising to stay in Cape May for long, anyway. And too tall, dark, and handsome to be anything but a heartbreaker.

Every woman in town has her sights on Gabe Garcia. The only woman he has eyes for doesn’t seem interested. All he wants is to fall in love, be a father, and settle down. As he and Bella work together on a magical winter wedding, the distance between them closes, the nights grow warmer, and Bella might be seeing Gabe for who he really is: a man worth the effort.

But all it takes is a single rumor for these two hearts’ fragile love story to shatter. And now the happy ending Bella and Gabe hoped for is something they’re going to have to fight for.

REVIEW:TEMPTATION ON OCEAN DRIVE is the second instalment in Jennifer Probst’s contemporary, adult THE SUNSHINE SISTERS erotic, romance series focusing on the Sunshine sisters: Avery, Bella and Taylor. This is wedding planner/single mother/widow Bella Sunshine-Caldwell, and wedding planner Gabe Garcia’s story line. TEMPTATION ON OCEAN DRIVE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty but I recommend reading the series in order for back story and history.

Told from dual third person perspectives (Gabe and Bella) TEMPTATION ON OCEAN DRIVE follows the building romance between wedding planner/single mother/widow Bella Sunshine-Caldwell, and wedding planner Gabe Garcia. Gabe Garcia has worked as an assistant for the Sunshine sisters for close to three years and is about to become one of their full-time wedding planners but Bella Sunshine struggles with the possibility of Gabe walking away leaving the team stranded and short staffed. Having lost her husband within months of the birth of their daughter Zoe, Bella battles the demons of her past believing Gabe will move on toward something bigger and better. Gabe Garcia has lusted after Bella Sunshine since the day they first met but Bella has erected a wall around her heart, a wall Gabe is hoping to break through. Working together on a celebrity wedding Bella struggles with jealousy when Gabe becomes the center of attention. As Gabe moves closer in an effort to seduce our story line heroine, Bella begins to pull back believing the rumors about Gabe’s love life are true. What ensues is the slow building romance and relationship between Gabe and Bella, and the potential fall-out as Bella struggles with the female attention that seems to follow Gabe wherever he goes, and the memories of losing someone she loves.

Gabe Garcia has a reputation as a player but his reputation is unearned and built upon a series of lies. As Gabe and Bella’s relationship pulls the couple closer together, rumors and stories about Gabe’s ongoing conquests pushes our heroine to rethink her future with the man with whom she is falling in love.

The relationship between Gabe and Bella is slow to develop as Bella is unable to move on from the past. With her daughter her number one priority, Bella struggles to take time for herself but Gabe’s seduction of our story line heroine pushes Bella out of her comfort zone into the arms of the man who is willing to step up and take care of them both. The $ex scenes are passionate and captivating without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters including Bella’s daughter Zoe; her sisters Avery and her fiancé Carter Ross (Love on Beach Lane #1), Taylor and photographer Pierce Powers’ Bella’s friend Daisy; Gabe’s ex-girlfriend Devon, as well as several wedding clients, divas and celebrities all trying to host an extravagant wedding.

TEMPTATION ON OCEAN DRIVE is a story of family, friendships, relationships, loss and love. The premise is engaging and heart warming; the romance is heart breaking and seductive; the characters are energetic and dynamic; our heroine is broken and struggling to move on from the past.

He repeated the question. “I need to know. Why was it easier not to believe me?”

This time, she didn’t hesitate. “Because then I could pretend you weren’t the man I really wanted.”

“And do you? Want me?”

She jerked back. Her tongue slipped out to wet her bottom lip. Her voice was barely a whisper. “Yes.”

He muttered a curse. Then leaned forward, his hand cupping her chin. “I want to kiss you, Bella. I’ve been wanting to kiss you forever, but I need to know it’s okay.”

She stared at him, pupils dilated, ragged breaths panting from her lips, and he knew this moment would be carved out in his mind—the first time he saw her face reflect her open want for him. She gave a tiny nod.

He moved closer. His lips stopped an inch from hers. “No. You need to say it.”

“Yes. Kiss me, Gabe.”

His mouth covered hers.
