Excerpt:
I stepped toward the window and gazed out over the snow that had begun to fall across the landscape of rolling hills. Candlelight glowed around me, igniting the fiery need between my legs. The tap of his boots echoed in the silence, thumping toward me. The sound stopped right behind me. The heat radiated off him mere inches away. His breath tickled my neck, and my chest pounded with nerves and disbelief as to what was going on between us. Barely a few sentences were said, but years of sexual tension were about to combust.
“Are you still single?” I whispered. I knew what I needed, but I wouldn’t dare try to take him away. His hands glided down my arms. I closed my eyes to absorb his touch.
“Yes. Are you?” His answer sent a throb pulsing throughout my body. Silence passed for what seemed like an eternity until his lips pressed against my neck. My knees buckled from the intensity; he wrapped his arms tight around me.
“Friends, right?”
My heart gave way at his whispered question, but I needed to feel him before I gave him up forever. I turned around in his arms and stared at his lips with longing, licking my own before I answered.
“Yes.”
My Review:
Dragonfly Awakening by Jaycee Ford
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Dragonfly Awakening by Jaycee Ford is the second book in her Love Bug series.
What I loved about this book was how tightly the timeline ran parallel with Watching Fireflies, the first book in this series. I also loved that even though the timelines were simultaneous they didn't tell the same story over from another perspective but told it's own precious story of love a long time in coming.
I got very annoyed with both Paul and Ellie and their constant wavering and doubt. Paul constantly worrying about losing his best friend or losing the only woman he has ever loved and Ellie always feeling like Paul's indecision in somehow reflects on her. HOWEVER, their love story was hard-earned and well told.
I will definitely be reading more from this wonderful author. Can't wait for Lance's story.
