From the Inside Flap

"You should not have done that, Mr. Spencer. Kissed me," Felicity elaborated when he merely canted his head to the side. "It isn't proper to display affection in a public setting."

A furtive peek over her left shoulder revealed more than one curious onlooker staring in their direction. How many had witnessed the impromptu kiss? Enough to stir up more gossip, she thought with a bitter twist of her lips. 





"Aye, you're right about that," Felix said agreeably, catching her by surprise.





"I - I am?" She lifted her chin a notch. "Of course I am."





"Best to wait until we're alone. I don't want to rush our first time together. When I put my hands on your soft, smooth skin I want all the time in the world to touch ye." His eyes glinted with roguish pleasure as his gaze skimmed down to her breasts before returning to her flushed face. "And taste ye," he finished huskily.





Was it suddenly much hotter than it had been a few seconds ago? Yanking her fan out of her reticule, Felicity waved it feverishly in front of her face. "That - that is a preposterous thing to say, Mr. Spencer!"





*"No, Miss Atwood." His voice dropped to a raspy growl that sent shivers of dark delight racing down her spine. "That's a promise."***

I have to say I loved the hero Felix in this book! His cocky confidence and telling Felicity what was going to happen in the future was very sexy. His persistence and patience with her PTSD was sweet and handled very well. Love the interaction of hero and kids. So far this is my second Jillian Eaton book and both are light on steam but this one gets favorite status due to Felix, a cinnamon roll hero who predicts the future for Felicity and makes it come true.

So so cute! I thought this was a really solid, cute read. I enjoyed these characters so much. Felix was so charming and fun. I do wish that there had been more with the kids toward the end. I also read this without reading book one and did fine understanding everything.

I really enjoyed this book. I read it all in one night so it is definitely entertaining.

Felix and Felicity were an odd couple but I was rooting for them all the way. At first I did not think I was going to finish the book because so much of it seemed so sad-what Felicity's husband had done to them and their children but I persevered and am glad I did.

There was romance but not much sex and some violence as it related to a killer on the loose and what had happened to Felicity years earlier.

Overall a great read and I'm off to find the next book starring Grant.

I don't have much of a review to say - this book was good, not my favorite but I liked all the different storylines. However, HUGE trigger warning for rape/sexual assault. It kind of sneaks up on you and then you think it's been discussed but it comes back again with descriptions later.
