Amie's Review of Tempting Love by Kelly Elliott

    


    


Synopsis:

Can a woman actually make you feel like you’re losing your damn mind? Yes. If she is Corina Miller. The only woman who has ever made me long for something more, and let me tell you, that has me all kinds of messed up. After months of ignoring my feelings, it’s clear to me I’ve fallen for those piercing blue eyes and sexy smile. But is it too late? Have I pushed her into the arms of someone else? Hell no am I letting that happen. I’m on a mission to win the heart of the only woman I’ve ever cared about—and the only thing standing in my way is one stubborn and pissed off Corina. I always did like a challenge.

Excerpt:

I followed him, my hands shaking as I grew angrier by the second. “That’s it? You’re going to let me move out?”
Mitchell reached for his keys, then turned to me. “I can’t force you to stay here, Corina. If you’re unhappy, then yes, you should leave. Do I want you to? No, I don’t. I know I fucked up, but if you’re going to throw it in my face every goddamn chance you get, then you’re right, this won’t work.”
He headed to the stairs that led down to his front door. My heart raced, and I knew I couldn’t leave it like this. Closing my eyes, I called out to him. “Mitch! You never asked me to the Pecan Street Honky Tonk.”
Stopping, he looked back up at me. “What?”
I swallowed hard and took in a quick breath. “The dance, you never asked me. And well, Lane asked me.”
Sadness swept over his face. “What did you tell him?”
Wringing my hands together, I answered, “I haven’t responded…yet. I was waiting for you.”
Mitchell rushed back up the steps and stopped in front of me. I don’t think I’d ever felt my stomach dip like it did when he raced toward me. He cupped my face and leaned in. My chest rose and fell with each breath as I waited for him to speak. His touch sent a flurry of butterflies through my chest.
“Corina, will you go with me to the street dance next weekend?”
My teeth sank into my lip, and I watched as his eyes filled with lust.
“Yes.” I smiled and added, “But only as friends.”
The corner of his mouth rose into a sexy smirk. God, how I loved that smile of his. “It’s a date, then.”
“As friends,” I added.
He leaned down and pressed his lips to mine. Before I could even process his lips, they were gone and he was stepping back. “I’ll take it. For now.”



 


AMIE'S 4 STAR REVIEW

Again another KE story to adore !! Always a fan of the way her swoon worthy cowboys sweep me off my feet !! The Parker brothers are making a name for themselves in readers all over. Mitchell may have needed a swift kick to get moving but once he had his mind set he was determined to win Corina back. Corina and Mitchell have known each other for awhile now and they did share a ONS that was mind blowing for both of them. Corina was thrilled to wake up to him and see where things went BUT Mitchell was afraid so he took off. Soon after that the relationship between Corina and Mitchell's brother Tripp grew into what we all thought was more yet come to find out it never went that far because Corina was stuck on Mitchell and Tripp, although he loved to razz his brother , never wanted to step over that line. Now after all this time Mitchell is on a mission to prove to Corina that he is not only a friend but THE ONE for her !! Of course this does not happen easily or without drama and some suspense. BUT there is a ton of hotness and true southern gentlemen making girls swoon all over town !! I look forward to what comes next.

About YOUR ENDLESS LOVE

An incurable romantic with a chronic case of bad luck with men...

Museum curator Summer Bennett knows that happily-ever-afters are not make-believe. After all, her siblings all found their soulmates, so she’s optimistic her prince charming will come along too...eventually. In the meantime, she focuses on her job and her volunteering—which brings her face to face with one of Hollywood’s hottest A-listers.
When Alexander Westbrook flashes America’s favorite panty-melting smile, Summer's entire body responds. When she asks him to get involved in the community where she volunteers, Summer is shocked that the Hollywood heartthrob agrees right away. Two weeks working side by side with the world’s sexiest guy, and the game is on.
Far from the public eye, Summer discovers she likes the real Alex even more than his on-screen persona. Secret kisses and whispered conversations spark a fire in her that nothing can extinguish. If only his life wasn’t splashed all over the tabloids…
Alex can’t keep his eyes--or his hands--off of Summer. But she’s too sweet, and too damn lovely to be swept up in his Hollywood drama. His career is at risk, and an iron-clad clause in his contract with the studio makes a relationship impossible. But staying away from her is out of the question.

REVIEWED BY WENDY

4 stars 

What I enjoy about Layla’s books is that it is a story of beautiful love. I love seeing the two leads fall in love. Your Endless Love is a story of true romance. Summer is the baby of the family and a romantic at heart. She has been putting her work first and it is through work that she meets Alex. The attraction was there but because of Alex’s job as a Hollywood actor, it was subdued. However it would only be a matter of time before the attraction would win out. I truly enjoy seeing the progression of their relationship, from friendship to love. I liked reading about them falling in love in real time. Whenever they were together it was fantastic. The interactions, the banter, the fun and sweet scenes made my heart soar. Summer and Alex were the cutest couple. Their journey was fantastic. And one of the best part about this series is the rest of the Bennetts. I loved the cameos and the interactions between them all. They are a fun bunch! Your Endless Love was a great enjoyable read. I have enjoyed the Bennett family and their love stories tremendously. I am hoping that Layla writes a book about their cousins, the Connors. Landon would be an awesome first book ;) I am excited for what she has coming up next.



Read an Excerpt of YOUR ENDLESS LOVE

“Do you want to talk about today?” Summer asks as we lean back on the couch. “Not tonight. I like that this place is drama-free. Thank you for making that happen.” She widens her eyes, then groans. “You saw the magazines.” “Yeah. I wanted to thank you yesterday but thought bringing the evening up would just make you uncomfortable again. But thank you.” “You’re welcome.” She takes a small sip of wine, sinking lower on the couch. “What’s wrong?” “Just residual embarrassment for that night. I’ll get over it. Eventually.” I turn to her, framing her jaw with my hand, leaning in. “Summer, we’ve been over this.” A small sound escapes her, somewhere between a chuckle and a choke. “You probably forgot all about it already.” The gentleman thing would be to tell her I did. But I don’t have the energy to act any longer tonight, and I don’t want to act around her. I want to be honest, and something in her body language tips me off that she needs that honesty. “I don’t think I’ll ever forget it. The sight of your beautiful body is branded in my brain.” Her mouth pops open. “But... you said it wasn’t a big deal, that you’d seen plenty of actresses—” “I was trying to put you at ease.” By the looks of it, I did just the opposite. “You have no idea how hard it was to keep my control, Summer. I wanted you so badly.” She sucks in a breath. “You did?” “I still do.” She parts her lips, her eyes widening with surprise. I bring a hand to her face, caressing her cheek, resting my thumb at the corner of her mouth. Her skin is so smooth, it spurs a need deep inside me, to touch more of her. To taste her. Would she taste as sweet as I remember? Have I idealized the kiss, the memory growing sweeter, more real the more time we spent together, the more I learned about her? “I’ve missed you today,” I confess. “You did?” “Yeah.” “So did I. I arrived late at breakfast, and no one saved me muffins.” “I brought you something.” I pull the small package out of my pocket and take out the necklace with a little key pendant. “I saw it at LAX. It made me think of you.” “I love it.” “Let me put it on.” She turns around, baring her neck to me. I clasp the necklace, lingering with my fingers at the back of her neck. She lets out a little sigh. I trace the contour of her shoulder, needing to touch more of her. Summer tightens her grip on one of the couch cushions. I move closer until my chest almost touches her back, rubbing my thumb gently in the crook of her neck and shoulder. When she tilts her head slightly to the other side, giving me access, I don’t hesitate. I lower my mouth, pressing kisses to her skin. “Alex!” The vibration in her voice is the sexiest sound. I bring one hand to her waist, spin her around, then capture her mouth with mine. She parts her lips, granting me access, entwining her tongue with mine as soon as I request it. I deepen the kiss, moving my hand from her waist to her thigh, bunching up her dress. I want to feel her skin, taste it, because she tastes even better than I remember, and I want to explore all of her. “Alex,” she whispers again when I trail my mouth down her neck. “One night. Just this one night.”
