Favourite Quote:
Stasia wished he'd stop staring at her hair. She recognized that look in his eyes and it was all she could do not to groan out loud. She knew he was seconds away from sliding a possessive hand into her tangled curls and exposing her throat to the heat of his mouth. The seductive stroke of his fingers in her hair had always been a prelude to the most incredible mind-blowing sex. Her breathing quickened.
Yummy Kiss:
'Rico—' she breathed his name, lifted her mouth towards his in blatant invitation and he hesitated for just a flicker of time before lowering his head. And then he took.
My Review:
This book is very passionate, the feelings are high strung, and the sexual compulsion is like an obsession between the hero/heroine. They married swiftly a year and a half ago, then a year ago they separated because he saw her in bed (supposedly) with a naked man. Divorce proceedings are underway, and then his sister has a major accident and wakes up asking for Stasia and having memory loss, which neccessitates Stasia's return to their lives. Being within touching distance of Stasia, even Rico's anger and jealousy over her infidelity won't keep his hands off of her. They run through a gamut of emotions.
The passion is great, the hero is delightfully alpha and intense, but the one thing people might not like about this book is that there isn't a lot of non-sexual love or many signs that their love will last thirty years from now after the sex slows down.
Rating: 4/5 stars, quite a passionate read.
