Excerpt:
“Safe in His Arms” by Melody Anne in BABY,
IT’S COLD OUTSIDE
Hawk
looked on nervously as Natalie stepped close to the top of the ladder,
stretching her body as far as it would go to hang a star from the ceiling. His
stomach flipped over when he saw the bottom of the ladder wobble. She was going
to fall and crack her head wide open!
Rushing away from the wall he’d seemingly been holding up, he grabbed on to the
bottom of the ladder to steady it, and got a far too close glimpse of the soft
white inch of skin showing on her stomach as she stretched out her arms.
Just when he began getting a good handle on himself and his lustful thoughts,
he heard an oof and felt the ladder wobble dangerously. He looked back up just
in time to see Natalie slip from the rung she’d been barely holding on to.
Letting go of the ladder, he held out his arms, then groaned as she landed
safely against his chest, her arms automatically reaching up around his neck.
“Oh my gosh!” Her eyes were wide, her mouth open, and her cheeks flushed.
Hawk didn’t even think, didn’t hesitate. He simply closed what little gap there
was between them. He might regret this later. Hell, he would regret this later.
But right now, oh yes, he had to taste those lips. Feeling almost as if he were
in a trance, he ran his fingers through her long and beautiful hair and pulled
her head closer to his.
Hawk tried to rein himself in, but he gave up when his lips brushed hers and he
felt her breathing change. His first taste of her was like an explosion of
flavor, cherries and mint and heat. A whole hell of a lot of heat.
He held on to her tightly as his mouth demanded her full attention. There was
no struggle, no awkwardness. It was as if they were made to fit together. He
could go on kissing her all night long.
Review- 5 Stars
I was so excited to see an
anthology made up of these authors! They each bring the fun and the sexy into
all of their books! This anthology is made up of 5 holiday novellas, each one
written by an author that knocks my socks off with every book they publish.
I’ve never had a problem
with love at first sight. For me, it just moves the romance into a deeper
level, faster. With novellas, it’s difficult to avoid that component of the
storyline. However, that’s what makes these stories a special little treat.
They are stories that give you the “warm fuzzies.” They are quick reads, with
fun dialogue, smoldering passion, and a happily ever after.
It would be difficult to
choose a favorite among these stories. In each one, the hero heated me up from
the inside out with his mixture if sweet and sexy, alpha. The heroines are strong,
independent chick. I fell in love with the guys, and wanted to be friends with
the girls. The chemistry between each other couple smoldered right off the
page. Emma Chase and Kate Meader, especially, had me laughing at the sarcasm
and wit.
If you’re looking for a fun,
sexy read that helps you get into the holiday spirit, LOOK NO FURTHER!! This
book is full of such fun and smexy! It will go on my annual holiday “to-do” list,
right next to watching “Home Alone,” and wrapping presents!
