~Excerpt~
Brody’s mouth crushed mine
and while my brain shouted at me to stop, my body responded the only way it
ever would when it came to Brody. His tongue traced the seam of my lips and I
opened up for him, allowing him to explore the contours of my mouth. His hand
came to rest at my nape, while the other cupped my hip and pulled me closer to
him. What we were doing was wrong, but I couldn’t rationalize it that way when
my heart believed it was right.
Everything else around me
disappeared as my blood started humming in my veins, making me feel feverish.
Brody moaned into my mouth and in that moment it felt as if he was breathing
life into me. I inhaled, swallowing his scent greedily, silently begging for
more. But I knew more with Brody would never be enough.
I’d learned that very early on. I had no doubt that his kiss alone made my
panties wet and slick with desire. My breasts grew heavy and tender, aching for
his touch. It had been so long and my body knew it. I experienced a total loss
of control around Brody, which only made stopping that much harder. It was when
his lips left a hot, moist trail down my neck that reality came crashing down.
What was I doing? I pulled away, breathless with swollen lips.
“You
shouldn’t have done that,” I said, my voice shaky and quiet.

~Review~
When I found out that Brody and Demi
would be getting their own book and ears stood at attention like a Laboder ears
would. I love Tamsyn’s books, the emotions that she put into her writing will
make you fall in love with her characters. This time around we get an in depth
look at the struggles of Brody, who’s bestfriends with Grayson, and Demi, who’s
bestfriends with Huntley. When Brody makes a chance decision to leave
Brenkenridge, AL after graduation, it caused for a turn of events to happen.
Demi went through a lot when Brody left and kept a life altering secret from
him, one that would have change things for them forever. When Brody comes back
to town to attend the wedding of Huntley and Grayson, he comes face to face
with Demi and what was once a secret is one no more.
There was a lot of psychological
growth that Demi went through in the book. She had to try to accept the past
and leave for the future while trying to forgive Brody. Then we have Brody who’s
trying to move forward from the love of his life, but how can he when he’s still
and would always be in love with Demi. I love the fact that eventhough this
story was focused on Demi and Brody, Tamsyn gave us a sneak peek into Huntley
and Grayson’s life.
Great story written with passion, it
had emotion seeping from every which way. I will forever be a fan of Tamsyn’s
writing, she has a fan for life.
Tamsyn is a 22 year old blogger
turned author who has an insatiable hunger for New Adult Contemporary Romance
novels, coffee and chocolate. When she’s not getting caught up in yet another
steamy romance with a new book boyfriend, she can be found spending endless
hours working away on her laptop in pursuit of her Marketing degree and a
career in book Publishing. Tamsyn is a Brat when it comes to books and believes
that every story, no matter how challenging, should have a Happy Ever After.
