He places his hands on my thighs. “You’re shaking.” His warm breath blows over me.

“Really?” I pause. “Funny, I must be cold. Tell me if I’m hurting you. Okay?” Leaning forward, I blow on his cheek.

His thumbs rub circles over my thighs. The movement feels sensual. “You want me to get you a blanket?” I shake my head no, blowing on another area. I don’t trust myself to speak. “That feels good,” he says, moving his hands up and down my thighs, attempting to warm me up. “Your skin is really soft,” he mumbles.

Does he have any idea what he’s doing to me?

You can find my review of Raising Ryann, Book One --->> Here<<-----

I'm trying to write a review based on this book and not my deep hatred for cliff hangers. I liked the first book of this series, no scrap that, I LOVED it. So I had high expectations for this book. I don't know that I can narrow it down but I didn't connect with it as much as I did book one. I liked where the story line went. I liked that Luke was still valuing her virtue as much as he did and wouldn't just use her and leave. And I love that he couldn't stay away while doing what he was going. I know I have some odd feelings about the other characters. I don't trust Rachelle at all. I don't know what it is that gave off this not-trustable vibe when I was reading. And Sean. I don't trust that man either. Yes he was saying all the right things and doing all the right things, but he was almost too perfect. Too perfect is never good. Too good to be true I guess. I do love Logan and her best friend too, I think they compliment the series, storyline and characters so very well. I love the man Luke is and that he stayed true to himself even under the circumstances he was in. I honestly didn't expect him to, but I was wrong- he did. My heart broke for Reese in this book, for what she is put through. My heart kind of goes out to Luke too. I don't know. I liked it, I did. I guess I just wanted more. I was left with such heart break for so many different reasons that I just wanted more. Not more waiting, more story.

I give this book 4 hearts
