✯✯5 Tatum & Easton Filled Stars!!!✯✯

OMG I knew that when I was reading The End of Us that I needed more Easton!!! I’m so glad we got it Bc he’s everything. 

Easton owns the surf shop he works at. It’s his baby and he’s worked hard to make it the success it is today. When Tatum came in for an interview with interest in the empty second apartment above the shop Easton hired her. He was instantly attracted to her but being her boss he never crossed those lines. 

Tatum ran away from her her abusive husband the first chance she got. When she ended up in Florida she was glad to see a help wanted sign that had an apartment that was looking for somebody to rent it. She’s always thought Easton was good looking and nice but he’s younger than she is and she’s still not divorced yet. Even though her and Easton flirt that’s all it’s been. 

When Tatum’s ex show’s up at her job she’s forced to tell Easton about him. Easton promises to not tell him she’s here and that he’ll keep her safe when she thinks of running away again. That night they wake up to their apartments filled with smoke.  The surf shop was on fire and they both know who set it.

But, Easton knows what Tatum’s gone thru by the hands of her abusive ex so even though he can see it written all over Tatum that she wants him as much as he wants her he’s in no rush and can’t wait until she’s ready. 

Tatum wants Easton more everyday. Her sister is definitely team Easton as well.  She gets more comfortable with him everyday until she gives into what they both want and OMG these two were hot!

Tatum has only been with her husband since high school and she’s never been wined and dined. Easton decides to wine and dine her everyday showing her what she’s missed and what she’ll get everyday from him. Except by doing that their guards are down and Tatum’s ex shows he hasn’t been far away from them. 

This was such a good book! I couldn’t put it down. I loved it when Tatum’s sister Oakley or Piper were pushing them both to make a move. I’m sure they could be bestie’s LOL. 

I’m looking forward to seeing Oakley’s book Bc I wanna see her get her HEA.

✯Release Review✯Real Players Never Lose (The Boys #3) by Micalea Smeltzer

Real Players Never Lose by Micalea Smeltzer is now live!



I've heard the whispers on campus of what a player Teddy McCallister is. Most girls on campus are vying to be the one, but guys like him don't settle down.

When he overhears that my tuition has been pulled and I'm going to basically be a college reject he makes me an offer I can't refuse.

Be his fake girlfriend until graduation so he can get his inheritance.

It seems simple enough. I need the money and he needs someone to make him look committed.

If one thing is certain, it's that I won't be falling for him. But no one warned me about what happens when my fake boyfriends starts to fall for me.

✯✯5 Teddy & Vanessa Filled Stars!!!✯✯

Argh I’ve been waiting for Teddy’s book for forever!!! When reading Nice Guys Don’t Win every time he called Zoey and Cole mom and dad he had me LOL. I was ready for this book!!

All last book Teddy kept mentioning he needed to behave or he’d loose his inheritance but he never mentioned anything else. 

Teddy’s family comes from old money that they want for nothing. He spent his life away at boarding school. His father used him as a punching bag for most of his life and his mom keeps her head down. 

He’s lived a lonely life. Since he’s gone to college and made friends, who’ve become the family he’s always wanted. 

Teddy has six months left to graduate and he can finally walk away from his father. After another argument with his dad Teddy lies and tells him he has a girlfriend. Now Teddy’s got to find a girlfriend and be at his parent’s house for dinner that weekend. 

Vanessa’s life hasn’t been easy. Her sister and her boyfriend made her high school years terrible and her parents overlooked it. 

Vanessa’s going to college on a full scholarship. She’s writing hard so she doesn’t have to go back home after graduation. 

After break Vanessa heads back to her dorm. She had six months left to graduate. When she gets back she finds out that her scholarship has been revoked. 

Vanessa’s not sure what she’s gonna do next. Unfortunately for her the schools playboy Teddy McCallister was standing behind her and heard everything so she runs off. 

Teddy stops Vanessa from running off. Teddy tells Vanessa he can help her.  He’ll pay the last six months of her school if she’ll pretend to be his girlfriend both on campus and around his parents. They need each other so it’s a win-win for them both. 

Neither Vanessa or Teddy were prepared to not only become such good friends but to fall in love with the other one. 

Teddy wasn’t afraid to tell her that he fell for her and wanted everything with her. Vanessa couldn’t understand her feeling’s the way that he did. She didn’t have any friend’s other than him. 

Teddy continued to show her his feeling’s for her every time he could. 

While they were in Greece on a mandatory vacation with his parents everything changed. Vanessa finally took her blindfold off and saw how Teddy really felt about her and she didn’t hold back her feelings for him. 

Just when they thought they were in the next step of their relationship thing’s changed.  Vanessa has no choice but to give up Teddy and their happiness. She won’t let him loose what they were fighting for him to keep. Teddy doesn’t know what made her runaway so quickly. But, he won’t give up on Vanessa so easily. 

I legit loved Teddy in Zoey and Cole’s book. But, OMG he took my heart in this book and I swear he can keep it. 

I wish Vanessa would’ve opened up earlier to him about her true feeling’s but she really did love him and proved it by making sure if she couldn’t have him that he’d get what he rightfully deserved. 

Teddy legit wore his heart on his sleeve. Between his joking and goofing around to hide the hurt got to me. I love how he baked when stressed LOL. 

It was great catching up with mom and dad aka Zoey and Cole as well as getting more of Mascen. 

I’m really hoping Jude gets a book Bc my goodness. He’s got a serious heartbreak and if he doesn’t find his  HEA I’m afraid he’ll catch an STD from all the girls he’s sleeping with.

✯Release Review✯The Sacrifice (The 4 Horsemen #3) by Elena Monroe

Title: The Sacrifice
Series: The 4Horsemen #3
Author: Elena Monroe
Genre: Dark Forbidden Romance

Release Date: February 4, 2021

BLURB

KHAOS 

I’m not living under any kind of false pretenses here. I know I’m basically a rapper’s attitude with R&B feelings and a pop star’s bank account. 

There were a lot of ways to describe my unconventional lifestyle of part time cult member and full time showman. 

Risk taker. 

Exuberant. 

And my personal favorite adjective: undomesticated. 

I surrounded myself with people who liked a good time but left after they served their purpose of making sure I felt nothing but top shelf feelings. 

I wasn’t about to be like my brothers who let the darkness eat away at their vindication. The only crime I had ever committed was waving the glory of being invited, of saying I came and conquered around like a badge of honor. 

Spoiler alert: None of that earned me respect. 

There’s only one girl who managed to rob me of my fake smile...and my watch. 

GRACE 

I was a throw away, street trash, a child abandoned and scooped up by the bad people you only hear about after they get caught. 

I was hard in a way people found uncomfortable and determined too much work to rehabilitate into society again. I was found guilty over and over enough to let the bad things become who I am, blurring the lines between freedom and a jail sentence. 

Fraud. 

Thief. 

And my least favorite: fake girlfriend to a scary ass kingpin. 

Forced out of a childhood I was surrounded by darkness, evil, and the kind of cutthroat loyalty that landed your body so mutilated they wouldn’t be able to tell who you were if you fell out of obedience. 

They accepted me like family and there’s no quitting your family. 

I had the respect to match my rap sheet. 

There’s only one guy who managed to exonerate me… and my invisible wings.

✯✯5 Romeo & Juliet Filled Stars!!✯✯

Elena Monroe is three for three for me!! This is the 3rd book of hers that I’ve read and I promise you I don’t plan on stopping anytime soon!!

In the previous 2 book’s Khaos is the Happy go lucky one outta the 4Horseman. He’s got a skate ramp in both his office and backyard. You have to pick a hand and you’re either getting a starburst or a riddle. You never know with Khaos. 

We learn Khaos isn’t what meets the eye. He’s definitely putting up a front so nobody will know what scars he’s hiding behind. 

After his high school girlfriend who crushed his heart he won’t let himself fall and get hurt all over again. It’s why he has 25 girlfriend’s on retainer. One for every letter of the alphabet with the exception of G. 

When Birdy walked into Khaos’s life his world started to spin off its axis. Khaos has lived by his own rules for so long and never wanted to change. Birdy is making it where he’s breaking all his own rules and he isn’t even sorry about it. 

Grace AKA Birdy hasn’t had an easy life. Going from group home to group home. She ended up living on the streets and started pick pocketing to earn cash to survive.  

Birdy ended up in juvenile detention until Dove got her out Bc her stealing abilities was something he wanted to use that for himself. 

Dove didn’t have an issue laying his hands on Birdy when he didn’t get what he wanted outta her. Whenever he got to ruff she’d go to her friend Justice and her husband Vic. 

Birdy was just given a new target by Dove. Khaos. Dove wasn’t expecting Birdy to fall for Khaos and to not do her job to to his standard’s. 

Birdy can’t help herself. Khaos makes her feel thing’s she’s never felt in her entire life. Birdy will do anything to save Khaos from Dove. 

Khaos is in a cult and Birdy’s in a gang. These two shouldn’t work but they really do and will fight other’s and their inner demons in order to keep the other safe and to stay together. 

There wasn’t much cult ad the first two book’s but it was just as good!! My heart hurt Khaos with him and his anxiety and panic attack’s. The same with Birdy dealing with the beating’s she received. These two are everything. 

I’m SO looking forward to Bowen’s story next!!!

EXCERPT

“You don’t know me. You’ve never known me because you chalked me up to be some useless brat you constantly fix mistakes for. I let you all define me. I’ve always just been whatever the fuck you all needed: funny Khaos, quiet Khaos, the Khaos that pushes you right into love when you’re too fucking blind. You don’t see how much she means to me because you don’t fucking see me. No one sees me except her.” My fingers were fisting the material so hard I wondered if I ripped his shirt when he cracked a smile.
His smirk bothered me instantly when he said, “I was testing a theory. Either way you’re becoming a blood donor tonight.”
Letting go of his shirt, I slumped down in the chair still riddled with anxiety and anger. I let myself fold over trying to get centered even though this wasn’t my adult tree house or a bathroom floor like I preferred.
“You’re a fucking psychopath.”
Vic folded his arms over his broad chest, “I had to make sure she meant something and wasn’t just part of your fucking antics... she’s a good person, not part of your fucking reverse harem plot.” A small pause between thoughts he spoke again, “Clave knows that video exists even though we buried it by giving Rodriguez a raid. She's the new price of you missing an event, dumbass. That’s DuPonte’s only rule and you broke it.”
He wasn’t wrong. The Clave doesn’t do well with broken rules and if you’re lucky enough to survive the punishment then it means you lost crucial parts of your life.
Loved ones mostly.
Considering I was the most unattached, the Clave would find a way to hurt me and being caught on tape with the girl I love was as good as me forking over the truth on a silver platter for them.
Hurt me here, please.
We both joked around the idea of us being forbidden because of who we belong to but nothing was more honest.
Star crossed lovers doomed by our loyalties.
“What do you want me to do, Vic? Get on my knees and beg you to make it better? Keep smiling because it’s easier for you guys? I fucked up but I can clean up after myself.”

MERCHANDISE

✯Release Review✯ Reclaim by Aly Martinez

Reclaim, an all-new extremely raw and moving second chance romance from USA Today bestselling author Aly Martinez is available now!

Choices. Everyone makes them. From mundane to unimaginable, one choice can change the trajectory of your entire life.

My mother’s choice was to abandon us with our abusive father.
My brother’s choice was to go to prison for killing the boy who assaulted his soulmate.
Camden Cole’s choice was to fall in love with a shattered girl who had absolutely nothing to offer him but heartbreak.

It was one summer beneath the trees, but with Camden, I had a place where I belonged.
A friend who was always waiting for me.
A boy who I caught staring at me more often than not.

He was mine, but when the world closed in and secrets exploded all around us, it was my choice to let him go.

Choices. Everyone makes them.
But mine would ruin us all.

✯✯5 Camden Freaking Cole Filled Stars!!✯✯

Eek!! I’ve wanted Nora’s story ever since I read Release. I was starting to think we’d never get it. But, Aly it was 100000% worth the wait. Yes, this is a stand-alone but I’d really read Release first. 

Nora’s mom ran off and left her alone with her brother and their drunk, abusive father. They pick up jobs and save their money so they can have food in their stomachs and hope their dad doesn’t find the food and eat it himself. 

Nora found a job for the summer. She will collect worms everyday and turn them in to her neighbor and she’s hoping & praying she can make enough to be able to save money for her and Ramsey. 

The first day down at the creek she meets Camden Cole. The minute she sees his clothes, his penny loafers and bucket of worms Nora instantly doesn’t like him and she lets him know about it lol. 

Camden let’s Nora know that he was hired to collect worms and  has come up with a plan to collect worms and enjoy his summer and he wants them to partner up. 

At first Nora hate’s Camden Freaking Cole but they become best friends that summer. Everyday sneaking a ten dollar bill back-n-forth between them lol. 

Neither one of them want the summer to end bc the Camden has to go home. Then they’ll both go back to being alone. The last night they were supposed to hang out before he left Nora spent all night waiting for him at the Creek and he never showed up. 

Camden never wanted to leave Nora. When he got in trouble and had to leave early it killed him. He spent the whole school year doing anything he could to get on his dads good side in order for him to agree to let Camden go to his grandparents house for the summer. 

Camden ran to the creek the minute he got back. Camden knew he got taller this past year but Nora didn’t look the same. She was even more beautiful them last summer and still just as angry and feisty. 

Just as Camden started thawing Nora’s cold shoulder and they agreed to meet back up but it never happened. Nora stopped coming to the creek. 

Camden thought Nora’s father did something but it was worse then Camden ever would’ve guessed. Both of their lives were changed that summer. 

These two went a decade of coming in and out of each other’s lives when they needed each other. It never mattered how much time spent apart they picked up right where they left off. 

They were madly in love with each other. But, time was never in their favor. 

Nora wanted to be the perfect girl for Camden.  She keeps trying to be. Camden just wanted Nora for Nora. While she was working to improve herself, Camden will continue supporting her the best he can and go to school and make something of himself and help those who need it. 

This book was everything I’d ever could’ve hoped for and more!!! Aly hit another grand slam in my opinion and I’m looking forward to her next release.

✯Release Review✯ Perfectly Thin by Margaret McHeyzer

Title: Perfectly Thin

Author: Margaret McHeyzer

Genre: YA/NA Contemporary Romance

Release Date: October 19, 2020

BLURB

When I’m thinner, no one will make fun of me 

When I’m thinner, I’ll be accepted

When I’m thinner, I’ll be beautiful

When I’m thinner, I’ll be happy

When I’m thinner, I’ll be loved, and adored

When I’m thinner, I’ll like myself

I can’t wait until I’m perfectly thin.

✯✯5 Unperfect Stars!!!✯✯ 

Margaret is seriously one of my favorite authors!! She writes books that hit you deep down in your gut. Her books aren’t all rainbows and butterflies. Nope her butterflies usually have one wing that’s bent and even though they’re still beautiful, they’re flying in a circle or just all over the place.  Almost every book that she’s released I have seen pieces of myself in every main female character and Perfectly Thin was no different.   

Jane’s in her senior year of high school and her eighteenth birthday is rapidly approaching. Jane is very close with her parents, grandparents, her 2 best friends and is as close as possible with her 2 older sisters as much as possible. 

Jane isn’t one of the popular girls in school but as long as she has her two best friends she’s good. She’s never been super skinny like her sisters or her besties. Unfortunately for Jane the mean girls and guys target Jane every single chance they get.

Jane has been exercising and watching what she’s been eating and it’s showing. She’s lost some weight and looks great. When one of the popular guys asks her out on a date she is shocked but agrees. 

Jane was really looking forward to going and having a good time. What should’ve been a great night turned into the worst night of Jane’s life. When Jane was left after being called a something and not a someone it gutted Jane.

Jane went on a mission of her own. She was going to prove to the meanies in school, her sister and everybody else who stares at her when she walks by.  Jane googles exercises and different foods and their calorie count. Then writes down an exercise and food plan and is strict on herself. 

Jane is hard on herself. Harder than anybody else.  Jane has the voices on the inside of her head talking, yelling and reminding her of things all day. Loosing weight starts to become an addiction to Jane and not a good addiction. No matter what anybody says to Jane she’s not listening and it might just kill her if she doesn’t start to listen.

My whole life I’ve struggled with my weight. My weight 100% gone up and down my entire life and I don’t ever see that not being an issue. I myself have voices that talk to me whenever I look in the mirror or buying new clothes.  I’ve   also been bullied in school a bunch of times as well.  

I totally understood Jane’s feelings and the urge to loose the weight. But, the 

more the story went the more I worried for Jane and for her health. 

Margaret definitely did her research on anorexia and everything that a person goes thru while struggling through the daily and while trying to overcome it. Perfectly Thin is in my top favorite reads this year. I’m looking forward to Margaret McHeyzer’s next release.

AUTHOR BIO

STRONG, BRAVE AND COURAGEOUS CHARACTERS. 

**Write something worth reading**

I'm Margaret and I'm a self-published author.

Recently I was fortunate in obtaining New York Times best-selling status on my YA/NA book - Ugly, and my YA book - Mistrust.

My last six books have been YA and I'm completely in love with the genre. I love being able to communicate with people through my words and stories.

My writing genres all differ, but the one thing I keep consistent is my heroines. All my female lead characters are strong, gutsy and not the 'perfect' woman. While my books all have romantic elements in them, they aren't just about the romance. They're about finding strength, acceptance and making life long connections.

I hope you enjoy my stories as much as I have while writing them.

✯Release Review✯Get Revenge (Blood Legion MC #4) by Rie Warren

Title: Get Revenge

Series: Blood Legion MC #4

Author: Rie Warren

Genre: MC Romance

Release Date: December 16, 2019

He made sure she’d never come looking for him. She vowed to hate him until her dying breath. When they meet again sparks fly, lust ignites . . . danger doubles down.

REVENGE

I’m a bad biker dude with a serious chip on my shoulder. I’m also known for being an ex-con and most likely to be engaged in a spicy threesome with the Doublemint Twins. Everything comes to a screeching halt when a woman I betrayed shows up at Blood Legion MC. 

There’s no frickin’ way Arden high and mighty Prioleau belongs anywhere near the Thunder Road Bar. There’s no frigging reason for her to be looking for me. She’s cool, calm, and cultured on the outside, all seething anger and undeniable sexiness on the inside. 

Arden is a glorious redhaired vixen with one giant ask—she wants my help to take down a man I’d rather dismember than share a drink with.

ARDEN

Revenge isn’t even his real name, but he doesn’t want anyone else to know who he really is. I guess I can’t blame him. I wish I could change my identity too if only to get away from the maniac destroying my life.

Revenge is the last person on earth I’d ever expect to rely on. He’s my last chance. My final hope. And that isn’t saying all that much considering how we ended. 

Now I’m not so sure what I’ve gotten myself into. Revenge is hardened and even hotter than I remembered. He’s a black sheep with a checkered past. A dark horse who’s dirty as sin. 

It turns out my knight in shining armor is a leather-clad biker I’ve known most of my life and have spent the past few years hating with a fiery intensity. 

✯✯5 Revenge Filled Stars!!!✯✯

I’m so sad that I have to write this review bc then it means the Blood Legion MC Series has come to an end and that hurts. We met them in Storm in Rie’s Bad Boys Of X-Ops and been invested in this series since. Needless to say I’m sad it’s ending.  

Revenge has always been a mystery. You don’t know much about him other then he’s always got the guys back. When Grace came to Thunder Road bar pregnant and scared was the first time he got emotional. He’s very protective of Grace and her daughter Haven. Other then that he’s seen coming and going with different women. Lately it’s been the double mint twins and he’s OK with that. 

Revenge was in love once. Wanted to marry her but when his father was planning out his life Revenge knew he didn’t want to follow his dads footsteps. Instead he joined a MC club that was bad news. When they started pulling jobs more dangerous after the other he realized he made a mistake. Next thing he realized they wanted his girlfriend. 

Revenge would do anything to protect Arden. Revenge made it looked like he was cheating on her. Not only did Arden break up with him but she moved to Europe. Revenge hated himself but would do anything to keep her safe. 

Revenge was shocked when Arden showed up at Thunder Road looking for him. She was still beautiful, high class.  But, she’s married to his nemesis, has a daughter and needing help getting her and her daughter away from him. 

Arden hates Revenge. She was in love with him and he lied and cheated on her. Her life has gotten that bad that she’s had to go to him to ask her help. 

Her husband has gotten in deep with some bad guys. Arden doesn’t know all the details but knows enough to know her and her daughter need to get out before it’s too late. 

Arden lives her life but his rules. If she doesn’t follow them she’ll feel it for days afterwards.  He’s never hit her in the face. That’s off limits... for now. 

Arden knows if anybody can help her it’s Revenge. She wasn’t expecting certain feelings to come up. She swore she hated him. Deep down she knows that’s not true. 

Arden doesn’t want to hear the truth from Revenge about that night all those years ago. But, when she finds out the truth all bets are off and in bed they jump into. 

Too bad it isn’t that easy for these two. Arden is still married to the devil himself. The devil is connected to Grace’s devil. Things are going to get dirty, dangerous and complicated before they’re butterflies and rainbows.  Don’t forget there’s still things Arden doesn’t tell Revenge until she is pushed up against the wall. 

Rie saved the best for last!!! As sad as I am it’s over I’m glad he ended it. Revenge is so much more then I ever thought he was. You’d never think he was from a high class family. But, man does he fill out a suit. Wonder if he uses the same tailor that Josh Stone and the Retribution guys do LMAO I’m just saying!!!! 

I don’t wanna give away too much. I will say whenever Angel called church and it ended up all the guys sitting around the table talking love, relationships like Dr. Phil was there had me weak. I was rolling and crying from Lmao. 

Man bun number one was a shocker but was AMAZING and it truly showed how much this MC, the bikers and the community has grown. 

Rie you’ve given me another favorite series to add to my list. I legit can’t wait to see what you publish next. 

As Gabriel—who now called himself Revenge—greeted folks in a friendly manner, I couldn’t deny he was gorgeous. His lips had always been perfectly masculine, sculpted in a divine way. Even now that he was more hardened, the ruggedness only served to heighten his virile appeal. The tats completed the picture of a confident man, and everything about him was new but familiar at the same time.

He tugged my hand once more, bringing my arm up to curl around his neck as his body began to move. 

Zydeco was usually fast-paced, hard-grinding music. As luck would have it, Gabriel chose to guide me out onto the crowded dance floor to a song that cast a slow burning spell. 

Drawing up to my toes, I whispered at his ear, “You’re a bad influence.”

“Something we can finally agree on.” He chuckled. 

My throat went dry as I followed his lead, letting my fingers slide from his neck to his shoulders to the mountainous bulge of his biceps.

No man had a right moving his hips the way Gabriel did. The lusty rotations conjured up fantasies of hot fiery coupling, pounding the likes of which Barnaby didn’t understand. 

His pounding involved his fists on my body at deliberately aimed places. 

With Gabriel, I let the music take me, knowing I could do nothing wrong enough to anger him in such a way he’d hurt me. 

I leaned my head back, and he grasped me closer around the waist as my breasts brushed against his hard chest. 

When his groin collided with my belly and I reared up at the thick ridge I felt butting against me, his lips hovered near my earlobe. “I think you’re the bad influence, cher.”

I was getting carried away. 

For once, I just went with it. 

The lyrics to this song were more sexual. 

Sensual even. 

The rhythm dripped down into my being like slow-melting ice in a tumbler of whiskey. 

I quickly grew hot as Gabriel twirled me this way and that, always bringing me back to the formidable cradle of his body. 

I wondered if he missed me as much as I missed him—at those darkest, loneliest times of night when I could let my fantasies run free only to startle from them to find I’d been virtually locked inside a house with a madman of my own choosing. 

No.

None of that here. 

Not right now. 

Gabriel’s irises looked like glimmering steel, and his palms scorched the flesh beneath my thin dress when they skimmed from my hips to almost settle on my ass. 

A breath skipped from my chest, the heat I remembered from so long ago swirling to all the places I thought dead—my breasts, my nipples . . . right between my thighs. 

“Damn, Arden.” 

Even his growly timbre did strange, half-remembered things to me. 

I blinked up at him. “What?”

“I need a drink to cool off, babe.” 

The sultriest of laughs left my lips, and I wondered if I’d ever be able to close this Pandora’s box now that I’d opened it again. 

He ordered from the bar as I stood to the side, observing him. 

It was unreal how easily he fit in to any crowd. 

He had always had charisma—shame he hadn’t put it to good use. 

When a very pretty woman approached him—her hips leading the way in a heavy come-on—I stiffened right up. 

Gabriel’s beard parted for a grin, and I nearly curled my nails into talons like a jealous bitch. 

He shook his head with a laugh and sauntered toward me, leaving the woman watching with drool practically running down her chin. 

I forgot about everything as soon as I polished off my drink, and Gabriel took me out on the dance floor again. We laughed, letting it all go just like we used to. 

In this world, nothing could touch us. 

Nothing could tame us or cage us. 

With a break in the music, I drew back to catch my breath and get my bearings. 

Perspiration beaded along the strong cords of Gabriel’s neck, and I fought the urge to lick the salty taste off him.

I fought the urge to walk back into his arms as another song began. 

I knew coming to Jupiter’s had been a foolish move on my part. 

I’d let myself become stupidly infatuated again, but I needed Gabriel for one specific reason.
