In the Stack

So, It has been awhile since I have let you all in on what I have in my TBR stack. Beings that Christmas has pasted I have a view books added to the list, both paper and kindle. I have been writing a lot as well and cut through some of what have bought since the last post.

I have been entertaining with the Brotherhood this past couple of weeks and just want more and more.

 “ To satisfy his late father’s wishes. hot and single billionaire Michael Conte must find a bride-someone who will fit into his traditional family back home in Italy-and fast, so his engaged sister will be allowed to wed. With no intention of being tied down, Michael “proposes” to fiery, free-spirited photographer Maggie Ryan: if she will play the part of his fiancee during her trip to Milan for a photo shoot, he will keep away from her married best friend, Alexa, and stop making Maggie nuts with their too-close-for-comfort flirtations.
But once in Italy, sexual tension sparks the hottest no-strings-attached arrangement on any continent. Could marriage be the most enticing trap of all?"

 this is what happened

“I met him at the candy store. He turned around and smiled at me and I was surprised enough to smile back. This was not a children’s candy store, mind you- this was the kind of place you went to buy expensive imported chocolate truffles for your boss’s wife because you felt guilty for having sex with him when you were both at a conference in Milwaukee. Hypothetically speaking, of course.

I’ve been hit on plenty of times,mostly by men with little finesse who thought what was between their legs made up for what they lacked between their ears. Sometimes I went home with them anyways, just because it felt good to want and be wanted, even if it was mostly fake.

The problem with wanting is that it’s like pouring water into a vase full of stones. It fills you up before you know it, leaving no room for anything else. I don’t apologize for who I am or what I’ve done in-or out- of the bed. I have my job, my house and my life, and for a long time I haven’t wanted anything else.

Until Dan. Until now.”

“ DEMETRIUS- He’s the hulking, brooding warrior even his fellow Guardians avoid. Too dark. Too damged. And given his heritage, he knows it’s best to keep everyone at arm’s length.
Isadora is missing. The words pound through his head like a frantic drimbeat. For her own protection, Demetrius did all he could to avoid the fragile princess, his soul mate. And now she’s gone-kidnapped. To get her back, he’ll have to go to the black place in his soul he’s always shunned. As daemons ravage the human realm and his loyalty to the Guardians is put to the ultimate test, Demetrius realizes that Isadora is stronger than anyone thought. And finally letting her into his heart may be the only way to save them both.”
