Excerpt:
As soon as I sat down, my hands coasted across the soft leather. Just
like I’d imagined a cloud would feel. When I looked up, Linc stood
in the same place. The blackness of his suit reminded me of a
panther’s coat, and the man—observing his meal.
He crossed the room and sat next to me, the cushion sinking with his
weight and tilting me closer to him. His left leg lined with mine,
thigh to heel. He extended an arm along the top of the couch and laid
his fingertips along the crease of my neck, brushing them up and
down.
Millions of tingles raced over my spine.
His other warm hand took possession of my upper thigh, and he skimmed
his thumb back and forth across my clenched legs, creeping upward.
As my dress moved higher and into no man’s land, I gripped his
wrist and squeezed hard. His fingers stilled at the edge of my
panties, making me clench, and the movement on my neck ceased
mid-stroke.
“W-what are you doing?”
Review:
Rating: ☆☆☆☆☆
Intensity was as the title promised. I wasn’t sure of where this book was going to go at first when I read the blurb. There were elements of surprise and adventure in the book as well as the sweetness of Linc.
Linc owns an escort service and Serena finds her way to him. When Linc hires her it is under the condition that she is exclusive to him. What follows is Serena learning about the different girls, the clients, and parts of the business. Serena is still able to continue her daytime jobs while putting a huge dent into her debt. I felt that Serena discovered more about Linc than he did her. But she had enough of a bond with Linc that she felt she could trust him.
Serena gains some really good friends including Mylaynee. She is the one to introduce Serena to Linc and show her around. They both have each other’s back and a strong connection. It is this connection that gets Serena into some trouble. Linc is very sweet after the trouble.
Intensity ended well but I wanted to know more about the future for Serena and Linc. There were pieces of Serena that Linc still needs to discover. Can’t wait for the next book or the book covering Mylaynee.
