Excerpt
Kieran
Hendry makes me feel like a woman. A desired woman. His words, the way he looks
at me, his body language. Everything he does is a huge turn-on. Yet I hate this
man. Loathe him. But damn, he has a way of touching me that makes me forget
every logical thought in my head. It doesn’t make sense to me how I can despise
him and at the same time respond so strongly to his touch.
It’s
my body reacting to him, not my head. It must be hormones and sex drive. Those
two things combined have the power to make people do things they wouldn’t
normally do.
“You’re
trembling.” He grazes the back of his fingers down my cheek and my stomach does
some kind of flip. “Do I frighten you?”
I
look away because I can’t tell him that it isn’t fear giving me the trembles.
He
grasps my chin and forces me to look at him. “Do. I. Frighten. You?”
“No.”
He
rubs my bottom lip with his thumb. “Then what is it?”
I
shake my head.
He
leans in for another kiss but stops before his lips touch mine. We’re so close
I can feel his breath on my mouth. Just like last night when my body turned to
mush.
I’m
quivering and my breath has become more rapid. I may even be a little
lightheaded.
His
bottom lip grazes mine, but he still doesn’t kiss me. “I’ll back off right now
if it’s what you want.”
I
don’t want him to back off. I also don’t want him to know that I don’t want him
to back off. Feels too much like giving in to something I’m not supposed to
crave.
“I’m
going to kiss you.”
I’m
his captive. We made an agreement. I must submit without a fight per our deal
to maintain Ellison’s safety.
Yeah. Keep telling yourself that,
Wes. Maybe if you say it enough, you’ll start to believe it.
His
fingers lace through my hair and he holds me prisoner when he lowers his mouth
to mine. I open, giving his tongue an invitation to come inside. The two meet,
and together they become erotic dance partners with Kieran taking the lead.
I’ve
only had one very forgettable kiss in my life. But this kiss… I could live a
million years and never forget it or the way I feel right now.
He
stops, his lips hovering over mine. His breath warm against my skin. “More or
stop? Your decision.”
He’s
asking me to venture further with him. My body says yes, but my head tells me
that one more step will take me to a place I shouldn’t go with this man. I’m
twenty-three and being kissed for the second time in my life. I don’t want this
to stop. “More.”
REVIEWED BY JILL
4.5 stars for - Unintended - book 5 in The Sin Trilogy by Georgia Cates. This book can be read as a complete stand alone from the series, but as far as mafia books go it's truly one of the best series out there so if you have the chance I highly recommend starting at the beginning with a Necessary Sin and working your way through the series. In Edinburgh, Scotland there are two organizations that have been at war for years - The Fellowship and The Order, but with the new restructuring inside The Order the chance for peace between the two families is a real possibility especially now with an arranged marriage in the works.
Westlyn Breckenridge is the niece of the current leader of The Fellowship. She was groomed to be the wife of a Fellowship leader - therefore she has zero life experiences. Being very sheltered and never dating has kept her "off limits" to any man in The Fellowship let alone any outsiders. Watching her cousin and her brother fall in love has left her with a yearning for a bit of that same magic, but after the showdown outside the pub who knows if she will ever have her chance at true love now.
Kieran Hendry is the eldest child of the leader of The Syndicate and the man tasked to not only takeover The Order when the time comes, but he is also the sacrificial lamb that will need to take part in a arranged marriage. Expecting the worst yet hoping for the best, he is pleasantly surprised when he first meets the woman he will eventually claim as his bride. Now if he could just get her to agree to this relationship instead of forcing things it would be so much easier in the long run for the both of them.
This was a beautifully written story of love and sacrifice for the people you care about. With drama, danger, angst and sexiness too it has something for all of us. Then add in all of our series favorites making an appearance and lots of new characters that give loads of opportunity for new stories - I can't wait to see whom Ms. Cates will write about next.
