~Excerpt~
“Jesus, Katherine,” he mumbles as I
kiss my way across his jaw and over to his ear. “What are you doing to me?”
“Kissing
you,” I whisper in his ear and brush my lips against his ear lobe.
“Mmmmm
hmmmm.” His hands move to my waist and guide me onto him. I’m straddling his
lap and his fingers dig into my hips. I rush my hands into his hair and his
head presses all the way against the couch, the leather giving in to my
demands. Our tongues clash against each other exploring as if it’s our first
kiss, yet knowingly anticipating our next ridge or groove. My heart races in
ways I never knew possible. My hands run down to the hem of his button down
shirt and to the top of his pants. I start to pull at his shirt to un-tuck it,
but his hands come around and lock around my wrists restraining me from pulling
anymore. I whine into his mouth.
“Why?” I
mumble against the softness of his lips and smile.
“This is the
first time I’m in your house and I just met your parents… maybe the second
time,” he jokes and then nibbles on my bottom lip.
“Grrrrr,” I
grumble in his mouth. “You are always being too good.” His eyes narrow at me
and he let’s out a rough chuckle.
“Katherine, I
think you know that’s not true and I’ll show you just how bad I am when we are
back up at school.” His hands snake up to my shoulders wrapping around the back
of my neck. Pulling me towards him and his lips find mine again. Softly he
kisses me across my jaw to my ear. “Patience,” he whispers.
“I don’t want
to be patient,” I pout as I push my body into him. He laughs into me and
un-straddles me from his lap. We face each other and I smile shyly at him
feeling a little funny by my boldness.
“Stop,” he
says, and his hand latches onto my pinky finger gently rubbing it. “Don’t be
embarrassed. I don’t like you having to be patient either,” he says, just
before he plants a firm kiss to my forehead. I lean myself against him and rest
my head on his chest. His arms wrap around me tightly making my insecurities
fade. As I take in his familiar pine and masculine scent he shifts us back
against the arm of the couch allowing me to snuggle myself even closer.

~Review~
The Perfect Emotion will bring out "the perfect emotion" in you. This time a round we take a journey into the minds and emotions of Reed and Kate, we get to see so many raw emotions that it will definitely pull at your heart strings. I love the depth of ever single character. Kate's mother and what she was going, and reasons for what she did and her trying to seek redemption from her family, then we had Kate and her trying to figure out how she could try to express her emotions instead of holding them in. We also see Kate and Reed's relationship flourish into to something that is indescribable. Then we have the antagonist Kyle, have mercy this boy really was a spoiled brat, oh heavens, he made me want to kick some sense into him. He definitely brought out the angry side to everyone. OK I know I will probably make Melissa blush with this, but the sex scenes this time around were very, very hot, I wasn't expecting it, awesome job. Overall this was a very well written, well thought out story, I cannot wait to read book 3, and by the way that epilogue, I loved the way it end, I was smiling the entire time, serves her right.
