He was done. He could take caning across his bare back or bamboo under his fingernails, but he sure as hell didn’t stand a chance against this kind of torture. A man’s resolve was only so strong against a woman like Sam. Telling his subconscious to take a hike, he hitched her leg over his lap. She drew a quick breath, but then settled astride him as if her body was made to fit his. Her legs cradled his thighs, and the center of her heat married flawlessly over his growing erection. Imagining what it would feel like to be buried deep inside her, he shifted to encourage more friction. Her body went rigid, her spine as straight as a damn board, then she relaxed and trailed her hands along every piece of his available skin. Up under his sleeve to his biceps, where she squeezed the muscles; across his chest and stomach; his back. The impression of her touch lasted even after her hands moved on to their next location. His shirt was off in seconds, and he was doing his damnedest to remove hers just as quickly. Would she be upset if he ripped it from her body? It was a mere scrap of fabric anyway.

Christina believes that laughter really is the best medicine, which is why in her stories she blends a healthy dose of hilarious hijinks with gritty suspense.

When she’s not writing fun contemporary romance or quirky romantic suspense, Christina can be found devouring books in every genre, watching Chris Hemsworth on TV, playing board games with her family, working out, watching Chris Hemsworth on TV, napping, watching Chris Hemsworth on TV, and shopping…for Chris Hemsworth’s latest DVD. She lives near Baltimore with her husband and two sons, who give her an endless supply of humorous material to write about. She is a member of Romance Writers of America and Maryland Romance Writers. She is represented by Margarget Bail at Inklings Literary Agency.

She loves hearing from friends and followers, so feel free to send her an email or connect through social media.

Hummingbird by Kasey Millstead

Title: Hummingbird

Author: Kasey Millstead

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: May 1, 2016

Blurb

Being the subject of the hushed whispers from the acid tongues of her peers was something Belle Morgan had become accustomed to. That didn’t mean each barb didn’t scar her deeply. It did.

Xander Duke wasn’t planning on talking to the girl he found sitting by herself in the library that lunchtime. But something about her drew him right in and he couldn’t stop himself from wanting to find out all about her.

As Belle learns to trust Xander, he refrains from exposing a secret that will tear her scarred heart wide open. When the truth comes out, will he be able to piece Belle back together again?

Review
Rating: ☆☆☆☆☆

I struggled with rating and writing the review for this. The subject matter was hard to deal with and it was completely surprising and unexpected. It was beautifully written and made you think and feel. It was uncomfortable to read but it had to be. I came away with a lot from this read and it has stayed with me, popping into my thoughts when least expected.

My heart broke for Belle having to experience hell on earth day after day at school, being bullied by her peers. Nothing is done to stop it by her teachers, who surely must have known it was going on, not by her self-absorbed parents. Her only ally is Xander who she meets in the library where she hides out. Xander, though, is not all he appears to be, even though he is her rock.

Most people will have experienced bullying at one time or another in their lives and any bullying is unacceptable. Having been on the receiving end, it is hard to get through the days, weeks, months and years with who you are still in tact. Belle has enormous strength in just surviving day by day. This is a must read to experience the emotional toil and daily heartbreak it brings.

They say when you quit trying so hard, things will finally fall into place. So, I let go of my failed marriage to Aiden, focused all my attention on my daughter and finishing school while working a full-time job, and suddenly…

Barely breathing turned into surviving.

Surviving turned into being content.

Contentment turned into happiness.

All just my girl and me.

But there was still something missing, something I truly never thought I’d have.

My happily ever after.
