I thought this was going to take me a little to warm up to as I missed the negotiation of a D/s relationship. In other books it seems to build trust but I can see how letting situations unfold can add to the suspense. I really didn’t want to put this book down. Unlike any…
Wow the setup scenes in this book were astounding. The adjectives and verbs used made you feel like you just might be in that room. Only oneish weird couple of pages where they were at a dinner and a few side characters got up from the table and had an altercation and it really went…
Jasmine Haynes has done it again: she has crafted a beautiful novel focused on two mature characters with a history and managed to break and heal her readers’ hearts in turn. With her trademark grace and her smooth prose style, Haynes has given us a story filled with romance, heat, and substance. Haynes always presents…
Tricia is 38; David is 48. I do enjoy reading about mature couples. She fell for him when she was 16, and he was her first kiss. Twenty-two years later, they get a second chance at their romance. His wife’s death and that kiss have left him with lots of guilt. Tricia, however, has been…
This is book six in the West Coast Novel Series and was a great book. It will grab your attention at the beginning and keep you page turning. Well written with complex, likeable characters and an entertaining story. No shortage of drama, twists or suspense. A second chance romance that will take you on an…
I previously had read this author’s books and had got away from them when I got too busy to enjoy reading. This is the first book of her’s I’ve read in a long time and I’m so glad I’ve refound this author.I felt this story is somewhat melancholy until the Hawaii trip where Tricia and…
This is the first book in this series that I’ve had the pleasure to read, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I like the second chance troupe, and the characters are realistic and likable. David had me SMH with all his inner turmoil and his conscience over past events with Tricia. Let it go!!! Tricia really…
I loved this book and couldn’t put it down until I finished. Tricia has loved David since she was 16, but he’s always felt guilty for giving her a first kiss, he was too old for her. She’s always compared everyone to him. But now it’s 22 years later, and they work together. As they…
Such a romantically nostalgic erotic read. Tricia Connelly is 38, divorced and experimenting sexually. She has loved David Farris for over 20 years since his sister set them up and they kissed and… David now has two kids in college and his wife is deceased. Tricia is hired by his company and will work along…
I won’t go into the storyline which has been well covered by the previous two reviewers. It is an extremely well written novel & I loved the main characters & the challenges they faced in getting to their hea. She drew him out of his angst & guilt, taught him a lot he hadn’t hitherto…
OMG! You just have to love Jasmine’s stories. This time we visit David and Tricia. You can feel the love she has harbored for him for over 20 years and the path she took to try to follow his advice. David has so much guilt he has carried for 20 years and is just not…
Last night I was trying to decide if this was an erotic romance or romantic erotica. Today, as I write this, I’ve decided it’s primarily a romance, but the sex is lively and frequent. Tricia, the heroine, is truly the stronger partner in their growing relationship, but David keeps plugging along. And, while this seems…
