Synopsis:
This
book is book one in a three part series, so not all matters are
resolved at the end of the novel. It is also meant for ages 18+ due
to yummy adult content ;)
Happily ever after doesn’t exist. Not just in the romantic sense, but in the sense that there will never be a point in life that will contain no more obstacles.
Josie Sommers is a nerdy twenty four year old, elementary school teacher who has always considered herself a strong person. But with the loss of a loved one and the return of someone she vowed to never see again, her strength starts to break.
When he betrayed her in the ultimate way, she never thought she would let him back into her life, let alone open herself up to falling back in love with him.
Plagued with resentment and the burden of her own dishonesty,
Josie has to decide if forgiving and coming clean is worth the risk of losing him again. With so many hurdles, we know that Josie’s story is no fairytale.
That’s a promise.

Josie loves Seth. He’s her best friend. He’s tall and covered in tattoos and just delicious. He’s been there for her since they were kids and he’s the best friend a girl could have. But she thinks he doesn’t love her back so she moves on. Enter Blake into the story. He’s gorgeous and everything Josie thought she ever wanted. Josie falls madly in love with Blake and they are happy till both of their pasts come out in the open.
I told Victoria that this book should come with a warning label. Warning: the story may cause whiplash. Josie can’t seem to make up her mind. She loves Seth. She loves Blake, no wait, she loves Seth again. But wait, Blake is *it for her. Ugh Come on Josie. Pick a hottie and be happy already. lol Seriously, I loved this book! The drama, the sadness, the love and of course, the sex. I don’t typically delve into too many contemporary romance books, but this one is a good one to get hooked on. I totally fell for Josie and I definitely wouldn’t kick Seth out of bed. ;)
I recommend this to anyone who loves a good romance, love triangles and big ol’ cliffhangers! I give it 4.5 stars. I’d give it 5, but the jumping back and forth between the past and present kind of confused me at times. I read several chapters at one point and I kind of had no idea when it was. lol Other than that it was a fantastic read! Great story Victoria Klahr! I can’t wait for the next book!
“You are gorgeous,
as always, Josie.” He turned me around and brought his lips to
mine. He kissed me slowly, and I could feel myself getting heated. He
grabbed my hand and pulled me towards the bed. I was a little
embarrassed when he started undressing us, unable to believe that I
agreed to do something so risqué. He position me in a particular
way, and went back to his cameras to make sure his shot was right and
to set up timers on them.
“Okay, don’t
think about the cameras,” he said, coming back to me. He started
sucking on my neck as his hands roamed my thighs, stomach, and then
my chest. I tried to ignore the cameras and focused on his tongue and
mouth on me.
Click. He
brought one of my breasts into his mouth and sucked on my hard
nipple. His tongue always knew how to make my body feel good. Click.
I moved my hands into his shaggy sandy blonde hair, and arched my
back, needing more of him. Click. Seth aligned his chest with
mine, and went back to assault my neck as I moved my hands to rub his
shoulders and arms. Click. His other hand that wasn’t
fondling my breast, moved its way in between my legs, and rubbed me.
I gasped at the feeling of increased pressure on my clit. Click.
His fingers really were magical. It didn’t take me long before both
the pressure of his mouth on my neck and breasts and the rubbing of
his fingers against me, made me come. Click.
“So sexy,” he
whispered, before putting on the condom he had ready on the bed.
His eyes were hooded
with desire. He positioned himself in front of me and moved my long
hair in a way that covered my breasts. Click. He eased inside
of me gently, and then pulled back out fast. Click. He teased
me like that for a while, as I whimpered with need. I decided to sit
up and grab onto his back, nearly clawing him to finally give me what
I needed. I started to raise my hips to his at a better rhythm,
loving the small whimper that came out of his mouth. Click.
