Excerpt

“My dad adored my mother. That’s why he hasn’t dated since she passed.”

He conceded that with a nod. “True. It’s rare. But we both come from that kind of background. After I’ve spent years wishing you were mine, do you really think I’d be so much of a goddamn fool that I’d be interested in a piece of fluff when I have you?”

“She’s hot,” I said miserably. 

“And you’re not?”

I bit my lip. “Not like her.” I huffed again. “This is pathetic. I’m pathetic. It’s your fault for being so gorgeous, and for all the women wanting you. I’m used to seeing that and always used to feeling like I don’t measure up.”

He rasped, “Don’t you know that you’re beautiful?”

“Well, I mean, I don’t think about it every day,” I grumbled, “but I know I’m attractive. Sure. I wouldn’t make a baby cry if I surprised them.”

Jack shook his head. “You have to remember that I fucked all those women because I didn’t know the one woman I wanted in my bed wanted me back. 

“Your jealousy is tied to the fact that you wanted me for as long as I wanted you but you couldn’t have me because you thought I didn’t see you. That I preferred them over you. 

“When, really, I was just settling for them, Isabeau,” he rumbled, and holy crap, how he said my full name had me squirming in my seat. “I couldn’t have you, so I had them. I didn’t think I could ever have you, so I took them. 

“I didn’t worship them like I want to worship you.” His mouth hovered over mine, making me realize he’d moved nearer to me, so much so there was barely an inch between us. “Do you want me to worship you, Beau?”

Nodding, nervously I licked my lips, and because we were so close, it meant my tongue flickered over his too. 

He growled beneath his breath, and I whimpered as he took my mouth in a kiss so all-encompassing that he branded me with his truth. 

He was right, after all. 

I was jealous because I’d felt like I was lacking. 

Like I wasn’t hot enough for him. 

When, really, that wasn’t the case at all.

His tongue surged into my mouth, tangling with mine, and because he’d quenched my jealousy with his reasoning, and because he’d done it in a way that hadn’t belittled my emotions, I was left with no other alternative than to fight fire with fire because that was what he brought out in me.

He always had. 

He made me live. 

He made me fight. 

And I’d missed that. 

I’d missed him so much.  

My hands reached up, and like we were dancing, like we were born to dance together, they didn’t collide with his. 

Nope. 

They slipped around his neck, and I dragged him into me, wishing there wasn’t a car door sticking into my tits and a saleswoman watching us. 

I explored his mouth, savoring his taste, glorying in the possessive flavor that filled my senses, but more than that, I mimicked what we’d be doing later. 

Bruised dick or not.

About Serena

I’m a romance bookaholic and I won’t touch a book unless I know there’s a happy ending. This addiction is what made me craft stories that suit my voracious need for raunchy romance.  I love twists and unexpected turns, and my novels all contain sexy guys, dark humor, and hot AF love scenes.

I write MF, Menage, and Reverse Harem (also known as Why Choose romance,) in both contemporary and paranormal. Some of my stories are darker than others, but I can promise you one thing, you will always get the happy ending your heart needs!

 My Review
5 Stars
HIS TO HOLD by Serena Akeroyd is book Two in the Quintessentially Theirs Series.  This is the story of  Jack Dubois and Isabeau (Beau) Killian.  Jack and Beau meet when they are teenagers and become best friends.  But Beau has always had a crush on Jack which in their present day has made things hard for her and maintaining their friendship.  But more upsetting to Beau is how reckless Jack in as a race car driver and in life. Beau lost her mother early in life and doesn't want to loose any one else. So she has puled away from Jack.  Jack too has felt more than friendship with Beau but a misunderstanding towards Beau has kept him from going forward with those feelings. This was a wonderful read. Love Ms. Akeroyd's writing so I do recommend this book/series.
