Jonathon Turner is going to be the death of me.
Maybe not the death of me…but my panties for sure! They seem to disintegrate the moment he touches me. Looks at me. Smiles at me. Talks to me.
It’s more than physical. He’s breaking through an impenetrable wall.
There’s a problem though—he’s younger than me.
Six. Years. Younger.
Let’s not forget he’s also one of my brother’s best friends.
Oh, the other problem I forgot to mention…
I never wanted to fall in love again.

Excerpt
I didn’t hear a word that the interior
designer was saying. I was focused on the way Jonathon looked in those
Wranglers. And his boots. And the freaking black cowboy hat that made his grey
eyes stand out. I swallowed hard.
Jesus…could this guy get any hotter?
Jonathon
caught my stare from across the room. When he smiled my panties nearly disintegrated.
The man had never even touched me, and yet one look from him and I was damn
near panting.
Yes, he could get hotter. Christ Almighty.
Before I
could stop myself, my tongue ran over my dry lips. Jonathon’s brows rose and
his boyishly handsome smile turned into a sexy-as-hell grin. When his eyes
smoldered, my breath hitched.
I wiped my
brow. Shit, is it hot in here?
Jonathon
knew where my dirty little mind had taken me, and I was pretty damn sure his
was going in the same direction. I closed my eyes and tried not to picture
anything sexy, but failed. Me…up against the wall with him buried deep inside
me, giving me a long overdue orgasm.
“Waylynn?
Waylynn?” Ann’s voice pulled me from my naughty thoughts.
Popping my
eyes open, I cleared my throat. “What? Huh?”
With a sweet
smile, Ann repeated the question I had totally tuned out.
“The color
scheme. Are you good with it?”
I frowned.
What in the heck was she talking about? Color scheme? “Umm.”
The young
woman waited patiently, while I stood there with my mouth open like an idiot.
“Color
scheme?” I asked with a slight smile.
Ann laughed.
“Did you even hear a word I said?”
My eyes
darted to Jonathon. He was leaning against a desk in the middle of the room. It
was the only piece of furniture that had been left by the previous owners of
this space. His arms were now crossed over his massive chest, and he wore a
shit-eating grin. Did the man know how freaking handsome he was? That sex
appeal dripped off of him?
He winked,
and I had to lock my knees to keep from falling.
Bastard.
He knew
exactly where my mind had gone, because his was there as well.
Turning back
to the interior decorator, I replied, “I’m so sorry. Jonathon was distracting
me.”
One quick
glance back and Jonathon’s smile vanished, replaced by a shocked expression.
“Me?” he asked.
I nodded.
“Yes. You.”
Ann was now
staring at Jonathon. I could see by the look in her eyes and the way she chewed
her lip that she was having similar thoughts. It was obvious by the way she was
trying not to look in his direction
while she talked. She was probably the same age as he was, and that pissed me
off. Then again, I had to remind myself that Jonathon hadn’t been staring at
Ann. He’d been staring at me.
“What did I
do?” Jonathon asked.
I wanted to
say that his hotness was making my panties wet, and the throbbing between my
legs was making it hard to think, but I decided it was best to avoid the truth.
“That desk
you’re leaning on. I keep wondering why the previous owner left it?”
Jonathon
looked down at the desk as Ann asked, “Do you want to keep the desk? It would
be beautiful refinished.”
I shrugged.
“I’m not sure.”
Jonathon
walked around it. “I’m sure we could put this to good use. I can come up with
an idea or two.”
His head
lifted and his eyes caught mine. I swore they turned as dark as the night sky.
I swallowed, trying to ignore the pulse between my legs.
Kim's 5 Star Review
This book is a part of
a series and should be read in order.
Waylynn Parker is finally making
her dream come true and opening up her own dance studio but her contractor, Jonathon
Turner is making things a little too hot for her. It would be great if they didn’t almost get
caught or if he wasn’t her younger brother’s best friend. Jonathon may be ready
to settle down and start a family like Waylynn but is she ready to give her
heart to another man, a younger man?
I was given this book in exchange
for an honest review.
Waylynn is the oldest of the
Parker children. She may have left Oak
Spring to pursue her dreams of becoming a dancer but now she’s back with a
failed marriage and a dream she gave up on.
Now that she’s back, Waylynn is working on a new dream. She’s finally opening up her own dance studio
and hires her younger brother Cord’s best friend Jonathon to complete the
renovation. Her strong independent side
has Waylynn going for what she wants but the doubts and reminder of her age and
failed marriage are always around the next corner. She may be the oldest of the Parker children
but she has 5 younger brothers who are well known and over protective of their
sisters. So this means that she will have a hard time dating anyone in her
small town let alone one of her brother’s friends.
Jonathon Turner grew up with the
Parker clan. Cord and Jon have been
friends for as long as he remembers. Dinners
at the Parker ranch happened regularly but all guys in Oak Spring knew that
dating a Parker woman meant the Parker brothers were breathing down their
necks. Even now when Jon knows there will be no other woman for him, not one of
the brothers including best friend will stop Jon from trying to convince
Waylynn that age doesn’t matter and that he is ready to settle down and start a
family.
Waylynn and Jon find it hard to
resist the attraction between them. When
they’re together they have a hard time keeping their hands off each other. But when it comes to being out in public,
this small town has no problem reminding them of their age difference or giving
them opinions about their relationship.
Waylynn is still dealing with the fact that her ex-husband was cheating
on her but Jon seems to be the most incredibility patient man in the
world. Every time he finally gets close
Waylynn ends up pushing him away. Fate
has a way of bringing these two together but not without reminding them that
love is worth fighting for. No matter
what life throws at them they are meant to be together and just when you think this
was it, that Jon was finally ready to give in, he surprises everyone including
Waylynn.
When this series started I only
wanted to read it because the author is Kelly Elliott but now that we’re onto
the fourth book, Kelly has made this entire series a must read. I can’t wait until Tripp’s book comes out let
alone the other books in the series.
