He pulled several lengths as Laura watched, seemingly
oblivious to her presence. Her heavy legs remained rooted even as she tried to
persuade herself to go. Just get out, Laura. Walk away and leave. Hunter paused
at the end of the lane and stared at her, sending a shiver through her. Cheeks
flaming, she dove under and swam furiously. She didn't stop until breathless
and exhausted. Unfortunately he was still there and she was still frustrated.
His dark gaze studied her as she swam over to the edge and
gathered her breath. “Why did you do that?”
Blinking away the water, she scowled. “Do what,
Sir?”
“Swim as if you were trying to escape something.
Were you trying to escape me?”
Laura released a spluttered laugh. “Of course
not.” His eyebrow twitched as if he didn't believe her. Damn him.
“You were doing the same,” she added.
He chuckled, the sound unexpectedly lifting her heart.
“You might be right.”
They stared at each other. Surely he heard her pulse
pounding? When he looked at her like that, she was sure he could see
everything. Did he know the truth? Was that why he’d taken a disliking to her?
Shit. She was such a fool for agreeing to this. No job was worth this.
Courage sapped by his dark eyes, she swam over to the steps.
On her like a tiger, he swam quickly after her and she failed to prevent the
surprised yelp as she grabbed on to the metal steps and his arms came around
her, gripping the railings. She twisted around to find him looming over her,
the water dripping from his hair onto her face. The haunted look no longer
lingered in his gaze, instead hunger seeped into it and twisted her stomach.
“You are trying to swim away your
frustration,” he stated.
Laura gaped up at him, her shaky fingers curling around the
stair railings, just beneath his hands. His body pressed into hers, making the
steps dig into her back.
“Are you frustrated, Laura?”
“Are you?” she threw back.
A wry smile quirked on his lips. “Yes. God help
me, I am.”
His mouth came down upon hers, causing a gasp. She heard his
muffled curse as his hands twined under her damp hair and his tongue pressed
into her mouth. Powerless against the onslaught, she gripped stupidly at the
railings as her body responded to his touch.
Arching into him, she kissed him back. Even as she fought
it, her body craved him.

Judging a Book by its Cover
You know, I think we’re all guilty of doing this. Heck, when I get a new cover through I’m always giddy and of course I want it to look amazing. But having looked at some of the books I own, I realized I’m not one for pretty covers. Some of my old romances have the ugliest covers you can imagine. And I’m glad I’m not too much of a sucker for covers. I’m the cautious type and tend to read the blurbs first.
Because of the increasing trend to have very bland, simplistic covers a la 50 shades or Sylvia Day, I think it’s so hard to tell what the content of a book will be like. I’ve seen reviewers complain about the hot content of a book because the cover didn’t even hint at it! But maybe these covers will make us more cautious and actually force us to read the blurb rather than going with a gut reaction? I think that would be nice as we live in a society where we are trained to judge everything on appearance.
And of course with the increase in the amount of books out there, there are a lot of complaints of seeing the same images over and over. So maybe these simpler covers will mean we see less of that? It would be nice to have a little more variety I think. I tend to groan when I see ‘that model’s’ face again.
That said, I will still always be a blurb girl and I will treasure my old romances with their ugly covers… even if I do keep them hidden out of sight!
Thank you so very much for being a part of this tour.
