What’s left when it does? Genre: Contemporary, erotic romance Heat level: 4 Word count – 90k Cover art by Fiona Jayde ~Excerpt~ She was still buzzed from the evening when she checked into the hotel. Lightnin’ happened to be at registration at the same time and their excitement was palpable. Even Danny and Garrett came over and gave her a hug. They all rode up in the elevator together, the guys still high on excitement, laughing and bumping fists. Except for Rick, who was strangely silent.They got off at the same floor she did and she discovered they were in the same section of the hallway. She was shocked to discover Rick’s was right next to hers. She slid a glance at him, stunned to see him watching her, a ravenous look in his eyes. She couldn’t mistake the desire in his gaze. Did he want her to join him? Should she ask him if he wanted to come into her room? What was the protocol here?Unsettled, she fumbled with the key card and dropped it in her nervous haste to get inside. She wasn’t aware he had moved until he was beside her, taking the card from her fingers. He slid it into the slot and, when the lock light turned green he pushed the door open.“Here you go.” He held the door back with his body and waited for her to enter.“Th-Thank you.”She moved past him, rolling her suitcase in and turned to him. Before she had time to say a word he grabbed her arms, turned her to face him and pressed her against the door.“I’ve been wanting to do this all day.” His voice was heavy with a combination of emotion and desire. “I think tonight calls for a celebration, don’t you?”Speech deserted her and all she could do was nod. She wanted him, this man who had exploded into her life. More than she wanted her next breath. She was hungry for him with a passion that never seemed to leave her. Sydney cupped the roughness of his late night beard with her hands, loving the scratchy feel of it.She tilted her face up just the least little bit to accommodate him as his mouth came down on hers. The minute their lips met, heat surged through her, as if someone had lit a match to her blood. She clutched at his shoulders to steady herself, knowing she should break away even as her body cried for more. She was drowning in him, his heat and scent invading her. And all she could think was more, more, more.Buy Links:Decadent PublishingAmazonGoodreads
There has been a huge outpouring of rock band, music type books lately. When the opportunity arose to read one by Desiree Holt, I jumped at the chance. I have enjoyed quite a bit of her writing and was looking forward to reading Aftershock.As expected, this one did not disappoint! I really enjoyed the storyline and her twist on the rocker/manager love connection! Rick & Sidney are so hot together. Sydney's insecurities about her background and this being the first major band she works with really make the story perfect. I highly reccomend this book and hope to see more about the other members of the band Lightnin!
