Description:
After his divorce, Greg Snow
dedicated his life to his work as a corporate attorney in a large law firm and
as a member of the board of directors of Advantage Insurance Company. He liked
it that way… at least that’s what he thought until Tessa Mills entered his
life.
Growing up with an alcoholic
mother and never knowing her father, Tessa Mills has not had an easy life. And
her relationship decisions have been less than stellar. But she’s finally
making a life for herself and running her own business – a yoga studio. It’s
her saving grace and that’s all she needs… until Greg Snow turns her world
upside down.
Tessa and Greg have a strong
attraction, but is it enough to overcome all their differences?
Excerpt:
“I don’t want to
seem like I am ungrateful for what I have.
I’ve worked hard for it. Very
hard. And…” Before she knew what was happening, Greg’s
hand palmed the back of her head and pulled her into a kiss that sent her head
spinning. His lips were firm yet soft to
the touch and he moved them expertly over her own. His goatee tickled her skin in a lascivious
way that made her wonder what it would feel like at other spots on her
body. His tongue flicked out over her
lips and Tessa was unable to stifle the moan that rose up her chest. He took that as the opportunity to move
further and pushed his tongue between her lips.
Oh sweet Jesus, he tasted fantastic!
He tasted like caramel coffee.
She could get lost in his taste… in his kiss. His experience was evident as he licked into
her mouth, exploring every crevice. His
hand flexed at the back of her head before sliding down to the nape of her neck
and caressing her there. She’d never
been kissed so thoroughly, so sensuously.
Her panties dampened as he took the kiss deeper and her hands gripped
his shirt tightly as if it were the only way for her to keep from melting into
the seat.
Beep! Beep!
Startled back to reality by the cars honking behind them, Tessa pushed
back from the kiss. She had been so
wrapped up in her verbal dribble that she hadn’t even recognized that they had
been stopped at the light just before the bridge. And then his kiss threw her into a
tailspin. She’d completely lost track of
where she was. She came to find out she
was making out at a traffic light with a man she barely knew, and she was
struggling to catch her breath after the make out session.
“You’d better go,” she
whispered. She could feel the blush once
again spread over her face. He looked at
her closely, studying her. Another horn
honked and his hand fell from the back of her neck and rested on her knee. He gave her a little squeeze and she watched
as his lips quirked up into a gorgeous smile.
“I’ve been wanting to do that since the
moment I laid eyes on you,” he said, roughly.
“And truth be told, I can’t wait to do it again.” Tessa inhaled sharply at his words and the
desire behind them. He glanced over at
her and smiled. His grey eyes were
darker than they had been earlier, and she wondered if this was the look she’d
read countless times about in all the romance novels she adored. “Where to, Tessa?” he asked. His question brought her back to the present.
About
the Author:
I am a born and raised small town
Ohio girl, who moved to the Sunshine State after graduating from college. I graduated
with a bachelor's degree in English because I could not imagine doing anything
else but reading and writing. It is such a pleasure to be able to share all the
stories in my head!
In the journey of life, I also
became a wife and a mother of three children. So, life is always an adventure.
But the love of writing has never died.
My favorites: I love to read and write... obviously! But I
also enjoy all sports, especially college football and the Ohio State
Buckeyes! Go Steelers! Go Rays! I LOVE to travel... LOVE, LOVE, LOVE
to travel. And I love sharing my love to travel with my children. I love to
drink Teavana teas! I love a good glass of wine, especially if it comes from a
bottle made by the FOOLS wine club… yep, I’m a member of that! I love
hanging out with my family and my friends!
Big fan of music, but love nothing better than putting on my jean
shorts, tank top, cowboy boots and hat and watching Tim McGraw belt it out! I’m a sucker for a cowboy hat!
Favorite quote: “If nothing ever changed, there would be no
butterflies.”

“Did you
just say ‘shizzle’?” he asked. It was impossible to
hide the
humor in his voice. This beautiful creature was unreal. She
looked like
a Victoria’s Secret angel with her long blonde hair and
tight
body, yet she swore like a kindergartner.
She
slammed the hatch down and kicked her rear bumper.
When she
looked up at him, he could see the tears welling up in her
eyes, so
he quickly wiped his hand over his face to keep the smile
from
spreading further across his lips.
“I’m
sorry,” he said softly. He “Where the hell are you?”
“In the
parking lot,” Greg said, still watching Tessa. Just
before she
slid into the passenger seat of his BMW, she looked over
her
shoulder in Greg’s direction and gave him the sexiest smile he had
ever seen.
He couldn’t stifle the groan that escaped him.
“Did you
just moan in my ear?” John asked with a chuckle.
“I think I
did,” Greg said with a laugh. “I’ll tell you about it
later. I’m
going to be a bit late to this afternoon’s session. I have to
run someone across town
quickly. I’ll be back in less than an hour.”
Greg’s
hand palmed the back of her head and pulled
her into a
kiss that sent her head spinning. His lips were firm yet soft

I was given this story for an
honest review.
This was a really short
novella and the second book in the Taking Advantage series. You meet Greg who
is hot, sexy, and OMG HOT!!. He is forty
two and was once married but decided that after his divorce he would concentrate
on his work and that is all he need.
That was until he met Tessa in the parking lot of place where he had a
meeting. Once he saw her he knew his life would change. And the sparks fly!!!
Tessa is a women who is twenty seven and is sweet, loving and at this moment having trouble with her VW. Instead of swearing she uses words like “Flipping fudge”, ‘freaking flip” and “shizzle”. Not sure who uses those words anymore but to each his own. Greg helps her out by giving her a ride to her yoga studio. He can give me a ride anytime anywhere. He has her car towed and fixed and pays for it. He asks Tessa out and she agrees. The only problem is Tessa feels they come from two different worlds. Will she allow this to come between them and destroy what is going on between them or will she not let it destroy what she can have?

As I said this was a really
short novella and I wish it was longer.
It seems it just got started and it ended. I wanted more but loved what was there. As
you read though you can connect with the characters in the story. I did not
read the first one but I am planning on reading it.
