~ Synopsis ~
After everything blew up on Christmas, Liz walked away from
me, and I let her. She said she needed space and a chance to pursue her dreams.
But we both knew she was running from the mess she made. Now the political
campaign she used as an excuse to leave is bringing us back together and I’m
proving to her what she really needs—not just the hot nights, greedy hands, and
undeniable physical chemistry. What she really needs is something real. What
she really needs…is me.

I love this book. I
am so sad that I finished it. It was one
of those books you try to savor so it lasts longer, but you just can't put
down. There was so much answered and
left open in this book. A certain
something with my man Max. The only
problem is it wasn't me he was looking out for.
Lol.
Liz is trying to move on from the whole ordeal with the
online dating service. She knows that
she messed up by not saying anything to Sam about it. She is nursing a broken heart and trying to
find a way to move on when she sees the most heartbreaking news ever. How could Sam do this to her? Did she really mean nothing to him at
all? How can you unlove someone in five
months? She now has a lot of doubt and
doesn't like the person she is becoming. Can she overcome her heartache?
Sam isn't happy with the way he treated Liz, but he doesn't
know how to fix it. By the time he is
ready to go to Liz his life is turned upside down. He doesn't know how he will ever get Liz to
forgive him. Can he prove that Liz is
the only girl for him? Or will he prove
that he isn't strong enough to man up and take what he wants?
I always say that each Lexi Ryan book is my favorite. I
don't really think that I can pick just one to be my favorite. But since this is the last book I've read by
her it is my favorite. Each book is
better than the last. You don't ever
want her to finish writing about these New Hope characters. They become a part of your life. You only pray that she will one day write you
into her story :)
~ Excerpt ~
Sam
Security had better not have let one of those asshole
journalists from downstairs up to my floor. I swear, those soul suckers would
do anything to get a new detail to add to their nothing stories. I open the
door without removing the chain and feel as if I’ve been punched in the gut
when I see the woman on the other side.
Liz is worrying her lower lip between her teeth and watching
down the hall. Is she looking for Sabrina or trying to make sure no one sees
her coming to my room? My insides twist at the sight of her—an internal
tug-of-war between conflicting emotions. I want to pull her into my room and
kiss her until she can’t see straight, touch her until she promises never to
leave me again, and at the same time, I want to demand that she go back to her
room because having her close makes me hope for things I can’t have.
I remove the chain and tug her inside by the arm before
closing the door behind her.
“No one saw me,” she says, her eyes locked on the floor. “I
made sure.”
“I saw you,” I growl. It’s painful to be this close—to
breathe her air, to smell her perfume. I never knew how much it could hurt to
want and be denied.
She swallows and avoids my eyes. “Is she here?”
“What do you want, Liz?”
She lifts her head and stares at me. “Is she here?”
“Sabrina’s on her way to meet her mom in South Dakota for a
campaign stop.”
Her gaze dips to my bare chest and back up. “I’m surprised
they didn’t ask you to go with them.”
“They did. I declined.” I sound like a fucking dickhead, and
I make myself take two steps back so I don’t do something equally dickish. Like
kiss her until she melts in my arms and forgets about the other guy, until we
both forget that this is hopeless.
“I’m sorry that video was leaked. You didn’t deserve that
invasion of your privacy.”
She has red lipstick on, and it matches her shoes. Ever
since I saw her tonight, I’ve been picturing her on her knees in nothing but
those shoes, those red lips stretched around my cock. I can’t help myself, and
I skim my thumb over her bottom lip.
The second I touch her, she draws in a ragged breath. “You
came to my apartment yesterday.”
“I did.”
“Why?”
I trail my thumb down her neck and over the red strap of her
dress. “Probably for the same reason you came here tonight.”
“To talk about Sabrina?”
“You knocked on my door in the middle of the night to talk
about Sabrina?” I follow the strap down and graze my fingers across her
cleavage. “Is this about her, or is it about you and me?”
“There is no you and me,” she says. “We both know that.”
“There’s so much you and me, there’s no air left when we
share a room. There’s always you and me.”
“Even when you’re making sex tapes with someone else?”
“And even when you’re keeping warm in another man’s arms.”
Reckless & Real #1
Adult Contemporary Romance
Release: December 22, 2014
He talks dirty to me, but I don’t know his name.
He wants to tie me up, but I don’t know his face.
He turns me on, but I couldn’t point him out in a crowd.
I’ve fallen for an anonymous stranger, and tonight the
anonymity ends. Tonight I want more than typed secrets and texted promises. I
want something reckless. Heat. Passion. The thrill of being entirely possessed.
Because I suspect this anonymous stranger isn’t a stranger
at all.
Lizzy Thompson met riverrat69 online through Something Real,
a service promising to deliver meaningful relationships by forbidding its users
to share names or photos until they’ve reached a certain benchmark. She was
looking for love. He was researching an investment. They hit it off. Talked and
flirted, hid behind screen names and cartoon avatars.
Now they’re breaking the rules and meeting in person. But
Liz is prepared. She’s picked up hints and followed clues.
She’s ninety-percent convinced she’s discovered the identity
of her dirty-talking online friend.
She wonders if her ex-lover Sam Bradshaw knows her identity
too.
When she rolls the dice on one reckless night, her chance at
something real could crumble.
