Angie’s\u00a0Review<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/div>\n
\n

I received this book for an honest review.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sigh\u2026Michelle can write characters that I just love.\u00a0 She is able to reach into my heart and squeeze it to the point of making me think I may explode.\u00a0 Her men are so flawed but yet we love them for their imperfections.\u00a0 Her females are strong and delicate but will kick butt if needed. \u00a0She can write the strong quiet characters too.\u00a0 Ladies and gents, she can just write.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This book is in a long line of books by her that will go down as a favorite.\u00a0 The feels of this book\u2026yup its full of the feels.\u00a0 The \u201cI wanna die\u201d feels.\u00a0 The \u201cI wanna cry\u201d feels and the \u201cTHANK THE STARS\u201d feels\u2026\u2026.LOL<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bryant and everything he does to help Carly when her world is shifting and changing was amazing.\u00a0 He is the NFL Stud but his heart is all about his girl.\u00a0 Carly can\u2019t believe everything that is happening but when she finally realizes what she has in front of her (believe me a few F bombs were muttered) she opens her eyes\u2026\u2026.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I loved the story and I think that it is one of her best written.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Excerpt <\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n

His citrusy, musky cologne alerts me to his presence first. Probably some expensive brand that I\u2019ve never heard of, but damn if it\u2019s not like honey to a bear, and I\u2019m the bear.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u201cSo, we meet again,\u201d he says, stopping next to me at the end of the plank.<\/p>\n

The scent of his cologne intensifies, pouring that honey into buckets.<\/p>\n

I glance over, and his eyes are solely on me. That damn grin is splashed on his lips.<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t worry. I left my weapon in the room.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd your gray sweatshirt, I see.\u201d<\/p>\n

Too bad he replaced it with a nice pair of slacks and a polo shirt. The blue in his shirt only causes his aqua eyes to become more vibrant and alluring.<\/p>\n

He leans close to my ear, and my breathing hiccups quickly. \u201cNFL quarterback by day, abductor at night.\u201d<\/p>\n

I square my shoulders, turning my eyes directly at him. \u201cI\u2019m sorry, okay? But what did you expect a woman to assume? It was dark, and you were some random guy sitting alone on a beach, trying to hide your face. That bubbling personality of yours wasn\u2019t exactly exuding when I walked by.\u201d<\/p>\n

I cross my arms over my chest, and his eyes focus on my pushed up breasts.<\/p>\n

\u201cI suppose I see your point.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPlus, you\u2019re a big guy, and I think you could have handled me pretty easily,\u201d I add.<\/p>\n

That damn smirk grows. \u201cSo, the thought of us together crossed your mind, too?\u201d<\/p>\n

My face instantly heats. \u201cI meant, you pinning me to the ground.\u201d Once the words leave my mouth, I wish I could grab them back, but he\u2019s too quick.<\/p>\n

His eyes flash with excitement, and he widens his stance.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat?\u201d I ask out of pure annoyance to the fluster this man brings out of me.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m just waiting,\u201d he says with his classic flirtatious tone.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor what?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTo hear how you wish last night would have turned out.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cUgh. You\u2019re impossible. A typical pro athlete who believes every girl is for your taking.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m just going along with what you\u2019ve been telling me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLet\u2019s just get through this dinner. Then, you can go to the pool bar and use your charm to pick up a random girl for the night.\u201d<\/p>\n

He chuckles that hearty laugh, rolling back on his heels. \u201cYou\u2019re one of those then?\u201d He purses his lips and nods, as though he has me all figured out.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of who?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe girl who acts like she\u2019d never resort to sleeping with a pro athlete.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFirst off, I\u2019m a woman, not a girl.\u201d<\/p>\n

My arms clamp tighter together, and again, his vision dips to my breasts.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy apologies. You\u2019re definitely a woman.\u201d The side of his lips tip up as he glances down once more.<\/p>\n

I let my arms fall, and his eyes float back to my eyes.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not playing a game, Mr. Garrity. I assure you, I don\u2019t want you for a night or ever.\u201d<\/p>\n

He steps closer, and my heartbeat speeds up, but I stand my ground, meeting his eyes and trying everything in my power to be unfazed by his nearness.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\u201cOh, Miss Lincoln, I think you haven\u2019t accepted what you want, but the night\u2019s early.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
