What can I say? I’m a fan of the Nichols men. I wish that there were more of them, though. I fell head over heels in love with older brother, Clay Nichols in Ms. Blakely’s Seductive Nights. (Blog post) I’m not sure what Clay and Brent’s father told them when they were growing up, but I’d like to bottle it and sell it.
I cannot even express how happy I was to be back amongst the fabulousness? fabulosity? of a Nichols man. They are alphas to the core, sexy as hell and complete and utter panty dropping dirty talkers. On top of all of that, Brent is a (former) comedian and he is hilarious. What I also loved was that Shannon was so well matched for him. After being engaged to each other and splitting up over Brent’s own hard headed stupidity, it was only fair that they got a second chance. Brent realized that he had a GOLDEN opportunity, to get back the woman he truly loved. There was no question that Shannon and Brent belonged together! It was a matter of the two of them learning to be honest with each other and working through what drove them apart in the first place.
There was a lot of sighing, swooning and hot flashes while I read this book. I absolutely cannot wait for more from this series. Alas, there are no more Nichols brothers but I have faith that I’ll love Shannon’s brothers almost (?) as much as Brent and Clay. 😉
She turned to look at him, and neither one of them said a word. Her green eyes were dark and intense. Her lips were so close. The inches between them were swallowed whole by the connection that crackled between them. She seemed to sway closer, and he moved in, seizing the moment.
He lifted his hand to her hair, still sleek in its twist, different from the shade she’d had when he knew her, but beautiful just the same. A strand had fallen loose, chestnut brown and curled. He touched it, ran his finger across the single lock. Time melted away as he leaned into the familiar crook of her neck. The craving for her ran so damn deep it lived inside his bones.
He inhaled her, that honey scent, a new smell that in an instant marked her.
“Shan,” he whispered, rough and gravelly, filled with so much want for her, which had built over the years, grown higher, spread further, formed roots. Inhabited him. He was desperate to have her in his arms again, to smother her in kisses that erased all the years.
“Brent,” she whispered, his name sounding like sugar on her tongue.
He buried his face in her neck, layering kisses on her soft skin. “Where have you been?” he asked, though it was entirely rhetorical. She hadn’t been with him. He hadn’t been with her. That was the answer.
“Where were you?” she countered softly.
He lifted his face and looked her in the eyes as he brushed the back of his fingers along her cheek. “Thinking of you,” he said.
He didn’t know how he’d gone from breaking two glasses to finding her falling into his arms. But that was where they were. He cupped her cheeks in his hands. “You’re so fucking beautiful,” he rasped out, and then he crushed her mouth. He consumed her lips. He kissed her hard, and greedily, and the world around him turned black and small. It faded into a speck of nothingness because there was room for nothing else in his world but her.
