Synopsis
Annalee wants a no-strings fling. Eric's all about the strings. Twelve years ago, when Eric Sorenson's date dumped him right before the Senior Prom, his older sister’s best friend stepped in to save him from total humiliation. He never forgot Annalee or what she did for him that night…or the kiss they shared. He wants Annalee, and if he has his way, they'll take up where they left off. And this time, he won't let go. After a messy divorce, Annalee's not looking forward to her high school reunion. She's shocked when Eric appears at her door ready to return the favor and play escort. Gone is the inexperienced boy with a severe stutter—he's a striking, confident man. The memory of the kiss they shared rekindles an attraction that never died, and she's been on her own for a year. Isn't she entitled to kick loose and have a let's-go-crazy night?
I was given book for honest review. Eric decides that the time is right to return a night he never forgot to the one he never forgot. Annalee decides she’s up for a fun night out with a boy that’s turned into a MAN. Short quick read of second chances and first kisses remembered.
Gently,
he released her and lifted the lid of the box in his hand to reveal a perfect
white rose.
“Do
you remember this?” His voice was low and intimate.
The
hairs on her neck prickled. “Of course.” She looked at him. “Your senior prom.
I was wearing a white rose.”
“That’s
right. And you brought me a matching boutonniere.” He nodded at the rosebud in
his buttonhole. “You had on a blue dress.”
Her
breath caught. “Yes,” she said, suddenly recalling. “The gown was blue.” He
remembered that? After all these years?
“Hell,
I’ll never forget it,” he growled. “You were hot. But not as hot as you
are tonight.” His gaze licked over her as it traveled up and down her body.
“You look incredible.” The appreciation in his face and voice sent a warm glow
through her. When was the last time anyone thought her hot?
He
set the box on the hall table and removed the corsage. “Will you wear this and
allow me the honor of being your date tonight?”
“Oh,
Eric.” A weight lifted from her spirit. With him beside her, she wouldn’t have
to face everyone alone. Dee and Thom were great friends with good hearts, but
with them, she was always the third wheel.
Of
course, there would still be gossip tonight. Only now, the gossips would be
envious, wondering what Annalee Mondello, formerly Donovan, was doing with such
a sexy man. Speculating what the two of them might be doing after the party. An
image flashed. She and Eric together. Naked, in bed. Her bed.
Her
breath caught. Could she do that, let herself go there? Why not? He was free,
and so was she. Dee had all but given the go-ahead. She’d been alone for so
long. Lonely, even in her marriage. Wasn’t it time to grab a little happiness,
a bit of fun?
