My Impressions:
I adored this book. Filled with great characters, lots of humor, suspense and love. Plus a little bit of revenge mixed in making this a must read for book lovers.
~Excerpt~
Alex Marshall was old money - at least by Texas standards -
the life of any party, and an unabashed poon hound. He was also the boy who
broke my 21-year-old heart. Enjoying the element of surprise and hoping I could
conjure up some sex appeal, I slowly lowered my glasses and turned to face him.
“Holy shit! Victoria.”
He fell backward and spilled one of the drinks. Most men
might have shown some embarrassment, but not him. He even looked good doing it.
Righting himself on one knee, our heads were level and I was gazing into his
big green eyes that were framed by lashes Maybelline would market as ‘illegal
length.’
“Damn, I didn’t recognize you with the hat and glasses,” he
stammered as those same eyes meandered down my body all the way to my toes.
I found myself reconsidering my anti-spray tan position as
my legs actually reflected the sun’s rays. On the bright side, maybe he
couldn’t see the fifteen pounds I’d added since college for the glow. I was
feeling flushed, but was feigning disinterest.
“Funny, I figured you would have recognized my cleavage
considering the amount of time you spent examining it.”
“Why didn’t I ever ask you to play doctor?” he asked
regrettably.
“You did. I declined the opportunity,” I said sounding
bored, but I was rather annoyed that I had to remind him.
His smile widened because with very little effort he’d
tricked me into admitting that I’d remembered his antics in college. And, even
worse I was paying attention to them now. Damn.
He leaned close and whispered in a conspiratorial tone,
“Remind me to ask you again later.”
