Sarah’s stomach exploded into a jittery mess when she saw Jeremy standing there, giving her that sexy smile. Before she could say anything, he took a step closer and threw his arms around her, pulling her into a tight hug. All at once she felt the hardness of his chest against her cheek, and the sweet smell of his cologne–it smelled expensive, whatever it was.

As their bodies pressed into one another, Sarah’s breath slipped away from her. One moment she had been watching Billie, and the next she had found herself in the arms of the guy she’d been thinking about all day. Heat rushed to her face, and she was thankful he couldn’t see her.

Get a hold of yourself, you barely even know this guy.

When they pulled away, he still had that beaming smile on his face. And those crystal blue eyes took all of her in–they might have been the most gorgeous eyes she’d ever seen. He was wearing a fitted, black button-up shirt with his hair spiked like it normally was. His jeans were tight, and they were rolled up at the bottom with black shoes to round off the image. The top two buttons of the shirt were undone.

Like for many, life for Kelly didn’t really begin until her 30th birthday. That was when she decided she was done with the corporate ladder and was going to start publishing some of her stories to see if people liked them. Fast forward a couple of years, and she’s still amazed that she’s able to spend her time doing something she’s loved doing since she was a little kid.

Most of her free time is spent working in front of the computer at various coffee shops around Houston. But when she’s not working on her next book, she’s probably sitting in front of the TV with her eyes glued to whatever Netflix show she happens to be obsessed with at the time. Do we really have to wait this long for the next season of Orange Is The New Black?!

“Jeremy,” Sarah stammered, brushing a handful of her blonde hair out of her face. “You startled me.”

She could kick herself. Of course she had to be in such a hurry to get home that she didn’t even realize someone was trying to talk to her. Her day didn’t look like it was going to be getting better any time soon.

“I was starting to think you were ignoring me,” he said, grinning.

His crystal blue eyes locked onto hers in a way that made her forget what she was thinking. He had a backpack slung over one shoulder, and the muscles in his forearm twitched as he shifted its weight around.

“Sorry, I guess I wasn’t paying attention. It’s been a rough morning so far.”

His mouth curled in a half-smile, though she couldn’t figure out for the life of her what he was always smiling about.

“That’s not what I was talking about,” he said, with a quick shake of his head. “It’s been weeks and you never called. I was starting to think you got abducted or something.”

Sarah let out a small laugh while her stomach twisted into nervous knots.

“Oh, God no. No abductions for me, thank you.” She shook her head. “I was going to–it’s just that everything’s been so crazy, lately. Classes are keeping me busier than I thought they would.”

It was a lie, but she hoped that he couldn’t tell. She hadn’t lost his number or anything, she’d just been focusing on herself for the past few weeks. After everything that had happened, she wasn’t very interested in making friends with the opposite sex anytime soon.

Jeremy clutched a hand to his chest and winced.

“I thought we had a good thing going,” he said, his face twisted in mock pain.

Sarah let out another laugh. “Stop it, you know it’s not like that.”

The smile returned to Jeremy’s face and she couldn’t help but notice how his eyes looked her up and down. But the smile didn’t last long before fading away.

“Don’t worry, there’s no hard feelings. I know you have a boyfriend and all, I was just hoping you were still interested in being friends.”

Anger flared up in her at the mention of her boyfriend, but she reeled it in, quickly. She should just tell Jeremy the truth–that she and Huck were done–but she didn’t want him getting the wrong idea. He’d already made it clear that he was interested in her, and he might think that he had a shot now that she was single.

But he was right. They had only seen each other a few times since they’d met, but they’d had fun. He was easy to talk to, and he had a way of listening to her like he actually cared about what she had to say. Maybe making a new friend wouldn’t be the worst thing that could happen?

“It’s not like that–I promise.”

Jeremy studied her, his eyes narrowing with consideration. His cheek twitched as his lips pinched together, and he nodded as though he’d come to some conclusion.

“Fine, you’re forgiven for blowing me off.” The playful grin returned to his face and he took a step closer to her, leaning down to whisper something. “But, you’re going to have to make it up to me.”

Sarah’s eyes widened as unwanted thoughts and images flashed in her head. Jeremy leaned away again and she hoped he didn’t see the burning in her cheeks.

“Make it up to you?” she said.

“That’s right. But don’t worry, I’m a pretty fair guy, even when my ego has been trampled…”

“I didn’t trample anything–”

He held up a hand, cutting her off. “Coffee, at three.” He gave her another grin, and even winked, before adding, “Just as friends, of course. Don’t be late–my ego can’t handle being trampled twice by the same girl.”

Without warning, he turned and started walking away from her. Sarah stared after him for a second, speechless.

“Hey, wait,” she yelled. “Where are we meeting?”

Jeremy turned but kept walking backwards. He tilted his chin toward her. “You have my phone number still, right? Text me and I’ll let you know.”

He flashed her one more grin before turning away and picking up his pace. Sarah watched him until he disappeared between a couple buildings, flustered and confused by everything that had just happened.

Did she really just agree to go on a coffee date with him? She muttered and cursed at herself while she walked back to her dorm. She wasn’t sure if she was more upset at herself for agreeing to meet up with him or because she didn’t tell him that she was single. Either way, the day didn’t look like it was going to be getting better any time soon.

'I will always take care of you'

My pain started when I was just ten years old, it was the day my mom got that dreaded phone call. Life has never been the same....

'I will always protect you'

I am all kinds of broken....

I have known Logan White since forever, he is my brothers best friend and my secret protector. I used to have nightmares that drew me into a dark place and when the nightmares got too much, Logan was by my side. The nightmares are few and far between now, but my life is centered around the tragedy of my past. 

Logan is the definition of 'man whore', with girls lining around the block to drop their panties at the click of his fingers. But after an unexpected moment things change. Now Logan is somebody else; hot, sexy and so damn delicious and I want to know him. Desperately. 

But then there is Angel Walker who is far from the angelic nature of his name, with eyes so hypnotic that I lose my inhabitation’s just by staring into them. But he is a broken man who just screams sin. He doesn't want to protect me or care for me, He just wants me. 

Do I want the man who can cut through all of my pain or the man who could cause me more?
Fists will fly, hearts will shatter and desire will be fueled.

Our Review

What can I say. I loved the book up until the end. My heart broke for 10 year old Neva and it broke again for 20 year old Neva when she was torn between two men. Both men equally gorgeous mind you. One there all her life, one who knew her past, her pain, her nightmares, her brokenness-Logan. The other who she thought she could be just herself with, not broken-Angel. Just an FYI I am all team Logan. 

The pull she has to both of them is so strong and each one is so equally moving and charged. I can't think of another word for it. The sheer emotion in this book is undeniable but I wont lie. I HATED THE END. Literally "The End". Just when something different was being thrown in, something very unexpected, well no I had a feeling about Angel from the start, I felt something just wasn't right, but yet as I read I thought maybe I am wrong. But I wasn't expecting what was going to happen or what I thought was going to happen. And I sure the heck didn't expect "THE END"!!! 

I was all set to give this book a much higher rating but seriously I love books in a series and I love endings that leave you wanting the next book to hurry up and be published. But this one, this one takes you to the top of the roller coaster and then slams the door shut just before hitting the highest part it is beyond leaving you in suspense. Its bucket of cold water waking you up from a deep sleep.
