Summary
Beth Davenport has no interest in getting involved with
another man for the foreseeable future. To say her last
relationship ended in
disaster would be a colossal understatement. The only reason
she agrees to put
in an appearance at Serpent’s Kiss, a private kink club in
downtown St. Louis, is
because her best friend, Nicole, won’t quit nagging her.
When she walks in the
door that night, the last thing she expects to do is meet a
man who will have
her reconsidering her ban on
men.
As a captain with the St. Louis Fire Department, Drew Parker
is used to being in charge. His crew relies on him to make
sure they know what
they’re doing and return home to their families after every shift.
It isn’t, however,
what he wants in a relationship. Drew decides to join
Serpent’s Kiss to see if
what appeals to him in fantasy is something he wants to
explore in the real
world. He’s also hoping that he’ll be lucky enough to meet a
woman with whom he
can explore his desires. The night Beth walks into the club,
he is intrigued.
Drew has to get to know her
better.
After what happened to her, Beth is reluctant to get
involved with Drew. It doesn’t matter that he is sweet and
charming. She’s been
burned before and Beth doesn’t think she can survive having
her heart crushed
again. Drew, however, won’t take no for an answer. He wants
a relationship and
is determined to chip away at her defenses until she
relents. Will she give him
a chance, or did her ex leave her with scars too deep to
heal?
Excerpt
She
plunged her tongue inside his mouth and took what she
wanted. It was the
hottest thing Drew could ever remember experiencing in his
life.
The
kiss didn’t last more than a minute or two, but it was long
enough for him to
know he wanted more.
Beth
rested her forehead against his. She was breathing just as
hard as he was. Her
chest was heaving up and down, brushing against his chest.
Not to mention that
she was still straddling his lap.
“Please
tell me you want to do that
again.”
She
laughed. It was so nice to see her happy and carefree.
“Is
that a yes?”
“Don’t
get cocky on me now.” She ran a single finger down the side
of his face and
over his lower
lip.
He
closed his eyes, trying not to
push.
“Open
your eyes,” she whispered.
When
he met her gaze, he noticed the amusement was gone. He was
instantly on alert.
“What’s
wrong?”
Beth
shook her head. “Nothing’s wrong. I’m
just . . . considering my
options.”
“Options
about what?”
“You.”
“Oh.”
He wasn’t sure he liked the fact that thinking over her
options had banished
the fun they’d be
having.
Before
he could formulate another question, she explained. “Things
between us are
moving faster than I thought they
would.”
“Is
that bad?” He needed to know. In his opinion, things between
them weren’t
moving fast enough.
She
sighed. But Drew also noted that she hadn’t removed herself
from his lap. That
was good, wasn’t it?
“I
don’t know. Maybe. Maybe
not.”
Author
Bio
Sherri
spent most of her childhood detesting English class. It was
one of her least
favorite subjects because she never seemed to fit into the
standard mold. She
wasn't good at spelling, or following grammar rules, and
outlines made her head
spin. For that reason, Sherri never imagined becoming an
author.
At the age
of thirty, all of that changed. After getting frustrated
with the direction a
television show was taking two of its characters, Sherri
decided to try her
hand at writing an alternate ending, and give the characters
their happily ever
after. By the time the story finished, it was one of the top
ten read stories
on the site, and her readers were encouraging her to write
more.
Nearly
eight years later, Sherri is the author of eight full-length
novels, and two
short stories. Writing has become a creative outlet that
allows her to explore
a wide range of emotions, while having fun taking her
characters through all
the twists and turns she can create. You can find a current

My Review: T
4 Stars
I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Like:
I liked the fact that their relationship was a slow buildup. This gave the H/H the time to heal enough to be ready for a new relationship. Though there were setbacks in their relationship, it was just what you would expect due to the heroine's issues.
Dislike:
Though, there wasn't any cheating between the H/H, the heroine's ex was a married man. While this isn't a trigger for me. I'm not a fan of this situation.
Recommendation: I found this to be an emotional, yet fulfilling read. I'm looking forward to more books as some of the secondary characters are interesting.
