HARD COMPROMISE
Compromise Me #2
Samanthe Beck
Releasing Nov 21st, 2016
Entangled: Brazen
Laurie Peterson assumes her impulsive one-night stand with sinfully sexy Sheriff Ethan Booker is the biggest surprise of the year…until her bakery burns down while she’s basking in the afterglow. It looks like her dreams are up in smoke, but then Ethan proposes a deal too tempting to resist.
Ethan has no intention of settling for a one-night stand with Laurie. Nor does he want anything to do with the women his wealthy family wants him to meet. Not when he’s waited ten years for his chance to make his move. His deal might have strings—and Laurie may not know the stakes—but nothing will stop this sexy cop from staking a real claim on her body and her heart.
EXCERPT
She turned on
less than steady legs and walked to the other side of the room, feeling the
weight of his stare on her the entire time. Once there, she planted her feet
hip’s distance apart, bent from the waist, and rested her forearms on the bed.
“I trust this is interesting enough for you?”
His footsteps
fueled her adrenalin. She lowered her head to the mattress, and lifted onto her
toes.
“It’s
definitely a start. Hand me my belt.”
She raised
her head as a hundred imaginary feathers fluttered down her spine.
“Your...what?”
“My belt,” he
repeated. “It’s right beside you.”
“Why?”
“Give it to
me, and you’ll find out.”
If she wasn’t
in the mood for this, all she had to do was say so. Booker would let it go,
without question. Even knowing this, backing down felt too much like surrender.
She handed the strap to him, but couldn’t help adding a caustic comment. “Who
would have guessed there were fifty shades of Sheriff Booker?”
His soft
laugh stirred invisible molecules in the air around her. “I would never do
anything so conventional. Besides”—he
folded the belt in half and ran the edge along the back of her thigh—“I think
you secretly prefer gentle.”
“I told you
before, you don’t have to be gentle with me.”
“You’re
tough, huh?” The edge of the belt tickled her skin again.
She faced
front and held her position. “That’s right.” Dammit, she was her own worst
enemy.
“Okay, tough
girl. Be still.”
CAT'S REVIEW
"Hard Compromise" by Samanthe Beck. This is my first story by this talented author and it will not be my last. Can we say HOT? This tale is steamy and sexy. But, underneath all the heat, there is a love story that is romantic and touching. Ethan is uber sexy alpha man. He's kind, understanding and super patient but demanding, protective and loving as heck. Laurie is an independent woman that has worked hard to be successful. She is sass and sarcasm all wrapped up in one but underneath is a vulnerable and needy girl that craves love. While this is a failry quick read, Ms. Beck did a wonderous job of giving the reader enough background into each character that I felt connected and understood just where they were coming from. Ms. Beck also pens a tale that flows and has ups and downs and keeps the reader turning each page hoping and praying for the HEA for these two. I look forward to enjoying more stories by this intriguing author. (received copy for honest review)
★★★★
When not clinging to sanity by her fingernails or dreaming up fun, fan-your-cheeks sexy ways to get her characters to happily-ever-afters, she searches for the perfect cabernet to pair with Ambien.
