Excerpt
Love, a word never on my radar, has now taken over my existence.  My world revolves around this man.  
I’m in love with him because of the deep connection I felt the second I saw him and dealing with the torture of this week has only intensified my feelings.  My mind went crazy, thinking of everything he went through, as I examined all of the marks on his body.  I can tell he was whipped many times.  The wounds are starting to heal, but I’m afraid the surface scars will always be there.  And I don’t even want to think about the internal scars something like this would bring.
I don’t care what he looks like or how much this will torment him.  He takes me and I take him just the way he is.  He’s been point blank about wanting me from the first day we met, and now it’s time I match his determination.  His blastoff introduction to have me on my knees that first day could’ve so easily gone a different way.  I’m just glad I felt the connection the second I laid my eyes on him.

Review

Wow, this book is as amazing as the two authors who wrote it. I wasn't sure anything could make me enjoy reading again, but I knew if anyone could do it it would be Hilary Storm and Kathy Coopmans and well, yes, yes they did. They have given me back my love for books via a hottie named Kaleb. Kaleb is everything you want in an alpha male and everything you need in a book boyfriend. This book is a direct follow on from the cliff hanger we were left with in book one  and is as exciting as full of suspense as I was hoping for. We continue to fall in love with Jade and her strength and determination. She is one woman I would love to be friends with. 
I absolutely love this book and refuse to say too much because I fear I will give away spoilers. Well done ladies on a kick a$$ BOOK. I love it and I love you both

It's time to come home, Finn.

It’s been seven years since Daniel Finley left his hometown in Florida for the hustle and bustle of Chicago’s city life.

Since then, he’s worked hard for his position at the prestigious law firm Leighton & Associates, even when it’s caused distance and isolation from his family and friends. But that’s all about to change.

On his thirtieth birthday, he receives the one thing he never dared hope for. Something that was promised to him years earlier—a note. One simple sentence from the man he’s never been able to forget.



Six words will forever change the course of their lives.

Brantley Hayes has it all. Or so he thinks. When he first made the decision to take a job down in Florida, his family thought he was crazy. But, after years of living in the quiet beach town, he finally feels a sense of community. He’s surrounded himself with friends who are like family, has a job he loves, and owns a spectacular beachfront property that is his sanctuary.

Yet he still feels unfulfilled, as if a piece of the puzzle is missing, and he knows exactly which piece it is. On an impulse, he follows through with a promise he made years earlier. A promise to call home the one he sent away.



Nothing is as simple as it seems.

After years of separation, the former lovers are reunited, but Brantley wasn’t expecting to encounter the high walls now guarding Daniel’s heart.

Daniel may not be the same person he was when he left, but he knows that the first step to healing is the note in his hand.

Excerpt
BRANTLEY KEPT A discreet eye on the final student to leave for the morning as Mr. Finley strode down the stairs to the front of the classroom. They were three weeks into the semester and he was ashamed to admit that, with every day that passed, his fascination with the young man grew.

At first, he’d tried to convince himself that it was purely academic. The kid was smart. He’d aced all the weekly quizzes, and Brantley was more than aware of the way he watched him lecture with keen, intelligent eyes that never strayed from him.

Oh, he was fascinated, all right, but he made sure to tell himself at the end of every class that it had nothing to do with the mischievous grin Daniel would flash at his friends or the easygoing laugh that would bubble up out of him at any given moment. But he knew he was lying. Daniel was quite possibly the happiest person he’d ever met, and his joy of life lit up the room and everyone in it. Including him.

When Daniel stopped in front of him and dropped his paper on the desk, Brantley acknowledged him with a glance before returning his gaze back to the notes he was going over.

“Any big plans this weekend, Professor?”

The question had been so unexpected that he didn’t think to catch himself before he replied, “Nothing too big. Just going out with some friends. You?”

Daniel smiled at him as he shoved his arms through the loops of his backpack, and Brantley couldn’t help but look at his shirt as it stretched across his broad chest.

“I’m going to hit the beach. Such great waves right now.”

“Ahh, you like to surf. That explains it.”

When the side of Daniel’s mouth crooked up, the effect was charming as hell. The kid was a knockout.

“Explains what?”

Annoyed that he’d made such a stupid slipup, he looked back at the papers in front of him, hoping Daniel would get the message and leave. No such luck.

“Explains what?” he asked again.

Brantley sighed and rested his arms on the desk as he studied Daniel’s inviting face. “It explains your hair.”

“My—oh,” he said, touching the ends of it. “Do you like it?”

Stunned by the direct question, he sat back in his chair and fought the smile tugging at the corners of his lips. “Do I like your hair?”

“Yeah.

“Does it matter?” Jesus, fuck. Stop it. Stop flirting with him.

But it was too late. Daniel put his hands on the desk and leaned forward, Brantley toed the ground, shoving his chair back.

“It could…”

“No. No, it couldn’t,” he said as he got to his feet, shaking his head.

Daniel straightened and tucked his thumbs into the straps of his backpack, no doubt to taunt him. His eyes were too knowing for someone his age, and when they held his longer than was acceptable, Brantley’s heart skipped a couple of beats.

“Was there something else, Mr. Finley?”

“You said you were going out with friends this weekend…”

Shit, did I? “Yes, that’s right.”

As Daniel ran his thumb down the left strap of his bag, he admonished himself for noticing every little move he made. He needed to get a fucking hold of himself.

“Are any of them more than a friend?”

If he hadn’t been watching Daniel quite so closely, he wouldn’t have believed the words that had just come out of his mouth. But he had been. So he did.

“I don’t believe that’s any of your business. You better hurry or you’ll miss your next class.”

Satisfied that he’d firmly dismissed Daniel, he sat down and made a show of focusing on the books lining his desk and didn’t dare look and see if he had left this time or not. He wasn’t sure what he’d do if he was still standing there.

He reached up to adjust his tie, which suddenly felt a little too tight around his neck, and with each passing second that he was consciously not checking to see if he was alone, he swore that it was getting tighter.

“Professor Hayes?”

His head snapped up at his name, and when Daniel had his attention, he continued.

“Are you gay?”

Brantley’s eyes widened, and he wondered how his mouth hadn’t fallen open at the blunt question. Instead, he went with, “Excuse me?”

“I asked if you were—”

“I heard what you said. But I don’t see how that is any business of yours, either. You should think before you speak, Mr. Finley. I’m your teacher, and it’s time for you to leave. This conversation is over.” He flipped open one of the books on his desk and shook his head. He couldn’t believe the audacity of the kid—or the fact that he was so damn forthright. As he sat there, grinding his teeth in an effort not to look at his student—who was still standing in front of his desk—a bead of sweat ran down his collar and he cursed the fact that his nerves were getting the better of him.

“I only asked because, well, I am too. And I thought it would be nice to have someone to talk to.”

Well, hell. He couldn’t fault him for that. The only problem was…talking wasn’t what sprang to mind when he was around Daniel Finley.

He clasped his hands on the desk and stared into the anxious face peering down at him. Daniel was worrying his lower lip with his teeth, and he suddenly looked very much the young man he was.

“Are you?” he asked again, and there was no way he could deny that hesitant curiosity.

“Yes, Daniel. I am.”

As his words drifted between them, Daniel’s mouth slipped into a smile. “Oh.”

Brantley laughed at that. He wasn’t sure what Daniel was thinking right then. He’d thought for sure with the way he’d been looking at him earlier that, if he’d admitted this, he would be fending off—or at least putting up a good show of fending off—an unwanted pass. But, instead, Daniel appeared thoughtful.

“Does that bother you?”

Daniel adamantly shook his head. “No.”

“Are you sure?” he pressed, and the look that entered Daniel’s eyes then was so hot that he thought he may overheat.

“Yes. I'm very sure.”

Oh, fuck. Okay. Where the hell did the nervous guy disappear to? One minute, Daniel was endearingly awkward, and the next, he was looking at him like he wanted to strip him out of his clothes and—“Stop right there,” he said, and he wasn’t sure if he was telling himself that or the contradiction eyeing him with newfound knowledge. “Whatever you're thinking, stop thinking it.”

“Why?”

Yep, he was fucked. That wasn’t a word he generally used, but in this case, he was well and truly fucked. He should’ve just stuck to the run-along-now speech.

“Because I'm your teacher.”

“This isn’t high school. I’m an adult.”

He sighed. “That may be true. But I’m your professor and this conversation is inappropriate.”

“How? I just asked if you were gay and you said yes. I don't see what the problem is.”

When Daniel aimed a mischievous grin at him, Brantley knew he was very aware of what the problem was.

“Out,” he said, pointing to the door. “Time to leave, Mr. Finley.”

This time, he made sure to watch Daniel so he knew he was actually leaving. He walked to the door, but at the last minute, he turned around to look back at him. Not willing to back down and show weakness, Brantley kept his eyes on his student as Daniel ran his tongue along his lower lip.

“You should call me Finn. Everyone else does.”

Christ. The kid was going to drive him to an early grave, but damn if he didn’t laugh at his audacity.

“Out,” he said again, and this time Daniel pushed out the door and disappeared into the hall.

Release Blitz: Soaked by Stacy Kestwick
























Title: Soaked
Author: Stacy Kestwick
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Series: Water’s Edge (Book 2)















Having hope was her weakness.


If Sadie Mullins hadn’t started to believe in love again, hadn’t let herself fall for him, she wouldn’t be

feeling this way.


Wouldn’t have her heart breaking.


Wouldn’t regret meeting West Montgomery.


The cocky bastard should have left her alone, let her forget about him.


Let her move on with her life.


Of course, he didn’t.


That could have been the end of it.


Of course, it wasn’t.


Damn hope.


*This is Book 2 in the Water’s Edge Series and is a continuation of Sadie and West’s story that began in

Wet. This is not a standalone.*

“Didn’t you want to talk about food?”


“Yes. I did.” He regarded me silently for a moment, as if trying to decide whether or not to press the

issue of the plane. Whatever he saw in my face must have convinced him to drop it. “The assignment

today revolves around the sensuality of food and eating and capturing the moment, but not making it

look like a cow chewing on cud. There’s a fine line.”


“Assignment?” I put my fork down, smoothed my napkin across my lap while I took a deep breath. “Am I

some sort of charity case here? What’s up with the lessons and assignments? I thought we’d both

already been hired to do a job?” My voice rose toward the end along with my temper.

Nick took a long swallow of his coffee. “We have. And you’re right, normally I wouldn’t work with a

colleague this way. But I see hidden potential in you — raw talent that needs some refinement. What

you do is good, very good in fact. You have a great eye, but your emotional range is a little stunted.

Everything you do is bright, cheery, soft. There’s so much more to explore. Shadowed, dark, moody,

seduc—”


“What’s that got to do with food?”


“Seriously? If you don’t see the connection between food and intimacy, we have more work to do than I

thought.”


My eyes narrowed in warning.


“Look at the buffet behind me. Take the bread for instance. Notice how the baguettes are displayed

upright, with the smaller, round rolls in front. Cocks and balls.”


I choked on the coffee I was sipping.


“Check out the fruit. If you don’t see the ripe curves of breasts within that arrangement, you’re

blind.”

Soaked by Stacy Kestwick ~ Release Blitz BLOGGER HTML


A reluctant smile tugged at my mouth.


“And the thick sausage links — they’re bratwurst size. That’s some thick meat. You think that’s a

coincidence? Not one bit. The whipped cream they’re so eager to top everything with? Should I

continue?”


“Does everything go back to sex for you?”


He paused. “No. It’s not a me thing. It’s human nature. We’re wired to respond to sex on a primal level.

It’s natural to crave it, be drawn to it, respond to it. What’s smart is using that to your advantage,

employing it either subtly or overtly to hold someone’s attention, even if they don’t realize that’s why

something is aesthetically pleasing. It’s the most basic, and effective, of marketing strategies.”


“So you’re telling me my lessons with you will somehow or another all pretty much revolve around

sex?”


He grinned. “Absolutely.”





































I’m a Southern girl who firmly believes mornings should be outlawed. My perfect day would include

lounging on a hammock with a good book, carbohydrates, and the people around me randomly

breaking into choreographed song and dance routines. It would not include bacon, cleaning, or anything

requiring patience.
