Tessa “Rain” Donahue believed she was happy. Dancing in a burlesque show at the ‘Happy Valley Cabaret’ gave her a sense of power. Shots of tequila gave her courage. One-night-stands gave her variety. Her nights usually ended as the sun was rising. Her head held high as she walked away from a stranger’s warm bed, high heels in hand. Tessa thought she had all she ever wanted.
Reese Nichols, owner of the custom motorcycle shop ‘Deadly Seven’, was living his dream. He was his own boss, never having to answer to anyone. To him, money was no object. What he lacked, however, was something that money couldn’t buy. Reese woke up every morning knowing she was out there—his soul mate. One drunken night years ago Reese met Madame Miranda, the carnival fortune teller who instructed him on how to find the one who was meant for him. With his plan in place, Reese searched for the only one who could pass the test.
Tragedy kept Reese and Tessa from realizing their fate years ago. Destiny brought them back together for another chance. Would Reese recognize that she was something special? Would Tessa figure out that it was all a test? Through it all, would they both sin for love?
I heard the drums start to boom and I knew it was time for Ginger to start her solo. She was one of my favorites to watch, and I had learned so much from her since I’d started dancing. She had a Jane of the Jungle theme this month, complete with animal noises, a huge python, and a vine to swing from. It was really going well. I turned around to watch her, but what I found instead was someone watching me.
He was leaning up against the railing that overlooked the floor full of tables. While everyone else was staring at the stage he was staring at me. I let my eyes roam over him as he stood about fifteen feet away from me. He was wearing a black leather motorcycle jacket over a simple gray t-shirt, black jeans, and black boots. He must have been just over six feet tall and his shirt and jacket weren't doing much to disguise what had to be an amazing body.
How is this shit even legal? I thought to myself. Shouldn't he have to carry a badge or at least come with a warning that looking at him would lead to a bunch of conditions—increased heart rate, shallow breathing, panting like a dog, and instantly wet panties?
The drums for Ginger's dance were pounding in my ears, and I swear they were speeding up to match my quickly increasing heart rate. When my gaze came back up to his face, I felt a sucker-punch to the chest that knocked the breath out of me. His eyes locked on to mine and it was like he was laying me open in front of him, like I couldn't hide any part of myself from him. I had never felt so naked in my entire life even though I took off all of my clothes in front of a crowd four nights a week.
"Fuck me," I sighed under my breath.
MY REVIEW
Ok... this book is hot!! The sex scenes in this are wow.... just wow...
Tessa is an exotic dancer. It's something she really enjoys doing. She also likes the idea of having the sexual freedom of choosing her own partners. She has just one rule. No dating.
When she meets Reese at the club she works at, he makes her break her first rule. He takes her on a date. It's no surprise that he makes her break her second rule. No second date.
Because of what she likes in the bedroom, it's been hard for her to find someone to accept who she is. She likes things wild, and that tends to scare of the men she dates. She is who she is, and she won't change for anyone. I think that's what I loved about her. She wasn't sorry for what she liked in the bedroom, and if the person she was interested in didn't like it... too bad for them.
From the moment Reese sets sight on Rain (Tessa's stage name) he knows he has to have her. She's sexy as hell, and he can't stop thinking about her. When he takes a chance and asks her out to dinner, they are both surprised when she says yes.
After that date, Tessa wonders if things with Reese could go further. He makes it known to her that he can give her everything she needs. In the bedroom and out of it.
I really loved this book!! I loved Tessa, because she didn't apologize for who she was, and people could take her or leave her. All she wanted was acceptance and love from someone.
Reese was beautiful; and his eyes were only for Tessa. She becomes the only thing he sees, and he knows he is meant to be with her. She is everything to him, and he knows there is no one else for him but her.
Claudia currently resides next to the mountains but dreams of the beach. She is married to her hottie husband, her lost then found again high school love. She has a teenage daughter who gives her stomach aches from laughing so hard together.
Claudia has an almost super human ability to obsess over whatever strikes her fancy. She spends her time between adding to her ever growing tattoo collection, writing, and perfecting the Tequila-O with her always present 7 bottles of Jose.
