Synopsis
Love isn't supposed to be an addiction. It isn't supposed to leave you bleeding.
Kona pushed, Keira pulled, and in their wake, they left behind destruction.
She sacrificed everything for him.
It wasn't enough.
But the wounds of the past can never be completely forgotten and still the flame remains, slumbers between the pleasure of yesterday and the thought of what might have been.
Now, sixteen years later, Keira returns home to bury the mother who betrayed her, just as Kona tries to hold onto what remains of his NFL career with the New Orleans Steamers. Across the crowded bustle of a busy French Market, their paths collide, conjuring forgotten memories of a consuming touch, skin on skin, and the still smoldering fire that begs to be rekindled.
When Kona realizes the trifecta of betrayal—his, Keira's and those lies told to keep them apart—his life is irrevocably changed and he once again takes Keira down with him into the fire that threatens to ignite them both.
EXCERPT
“What’s the matter, Wildcat?” Kona lay on top of her, held her hip with his long fingers. “You
nervous?” She could only manage a nod and Kona smiled, moving his mouth to her neck, down
her shoulder, kissing lightly. “We don’t have to do this. I can wait.”
“No!” She panicked at the thought. He laughed at her excitement and that touch on her hip got
tighter. “No,” she said, voice a bit calmer. “I want you, Kona.” He looked at her, smile gone,
expression relaxed. “I’ve wanted you for weeks and weeks.” Keira exhaled, moving the hair off
her forehead. “It’s just been a while and you’re so…” She flicked her eyes down then quickly
back up again. “You’re a lot bigger than I expected.”
“Ha, sweetheart, you’re good for my ego, but it’s just me.” Kona kissed her again, slipping just
the tip of his tongue into her mouth before he pulled away. “I’ll be easy with you, Wildcat. I’ll
be so slow and good, but maybe this will help.”
Kona’s hand left her hip, slipped between her thighs easily and he coaxed more wetness from
her, teasing her lips, taking his time to touch her clit. Keira shuddered, held her hand against his
wrist as he continued and Kona took her lead, rubbed once more over her clit before he slipped
two fingers inside her. He’d learned her body in the past few weeks and Keira had been grateful
that she didn’t have to tell him what she wanted, what felt best. He always seemed to know.
His mouth was warm, tongue eager as he kissed her, as those large fingers curled and his knuckles
touched the spot that sent her mind swimming. He never had to touch her for long, always knew
exactly how to read the lift of her voice, the collection of sounds that gave away just how good
she felt when he touched her. That night was no exception. Just a few sure rubs of his knuckles
against her G-spot and Keira was flying, hips off the mattress as her body chased that orgasm.
“Beautiful. Every time, Wildcat. So beautiful.” Another kiss against her neck, with Keira still
spinning on the crest of her orgasm and Kona slipped inside of her. “God…” Kona moved his
hips slow, barely moved an inch and already Keira felt full, felt she couldn’t be stretched any
further. When he slid deeper, she hissed, not from the pain but from how sensitive she already
was. “You okay? You want me to stop?”
“No,” she told him, opening her eyes so he’d know she wasn’t hurting. “God, no, please keep
going. You just fill me up. It’s so good, bebe.”
Kona stilled inside her and a small quirk of his mouth told Keira he was pleased. “That’s the first
time you’ve ever called me that.”
“I’ll say it again just to keep that smile on your face.”
Then Keira lifted her legs, wrapped them around Kona’s hips and she let herself be filled as he
worked inside her. Everything about Kona was huge; his body, his cock, his voice, his presence
and all of it filled Keira’s room as well as her body, moved around them and through them and
she felt high, so high on him, on the sensation of him moving inside of her, his hands on her
breasts, his fingers clasped with hers as he lifted her hands above her head on the pillow and pinned them there.Sweat pooled over their skin, met together in the twist of their bodies and when Kona stared
down at her, kissed her like her lips would give him breath, Keira shuddered, squeezed against
him. The light was thin and Keira could only make out the outline of his features, the small glint
in his eyes and it was too much, too overwhelming, but she would not run this time, she
wouldn’t tell herself she could do without this. Not again. Not anymore. She belonged to him.
Her body, her heart, no matter how beaten and worn it was, belonged to Kona Hale.
Keira squeezed against him again and Kona stilled, stared down at her with a smile that told her
he wanted to control this, lead her. “Don’t squeeze,” he said, pulling her hips up, hitting inside
her deeper. “If you open up, baby, go wide for me, relax, I can make you come hard, I can make
it last for you.” A slow thrust, deeper, harder and Keira arched against him, relaxed her inner
muscles even as she throbbed against him. “Perfect, so perfect.”
This was deeper, freer somehow, letting Kona move them, letting him control the moment and
Keira held onto Kona like he would anchor her, keep her from floating above herself.
“Come for me, baby. Give it to me completely and I’ll make it so, so good for you. I’ll take care
of you when you shatter against me.” And Keira listened, guessed that this is what Kona
needed—that slip of control she gave to him. She let go, pushed out, relinquishing herself, giving
her body to Kona, rather than closing off, pulling in, and the effect was substantial. He moved in
closer, worked faster and Keira let herself open, relax until that heavenly sensation came upon
her, urged on by Kona’s strong hands on her hips, his wide dick touching all the way inside her
and when the orgasm came, it mirrored her heart—free, unyielding, explosive.
“God… ,” Kona said, voice rising higher and higher with each grunt he made, hips slamming into
her hard, fast, faster, and Keira knew he was hitting his crest. Shoulders shaking, hips pumping faster and faster, Kona released a groan, filling her, throbbing inside her as he came.
Then he pulled his hand from hers and held the back of her neck, stared down at her with his
thumb on her cheek. “This is always, Wildcat. You… you’re my always.”
My Review
Long awaited! Totally worth the wait!!!
Crazy, Exciting, Deeply emotional, Roller Coaster Love, Explosive, Seductive, just a few words that come to mind when I think of Kiera Riley and Kona Hale. They started young and began that obsessive love, you know the one where you can't breathe unless that person is near you. The one that you would have given every thing up for and cried endless nights over even while together. I miss that type of violent all consuming love.
This book is all of that and more. You feel the desperate they need each pother above anything else. Both broken because of things in their childhood and dealing with anger issues, they lash out when communicating becomes to difficult. I can relate, can't you? I remember wanting to throw things to make my point.
For Kiera she just never felt she was worth that all consuming "thick Love". But wouldn't settle for less.
Kona, always the fuck-up he felt that anything he cared about, he would ruin. But never felt the passion for someone as he does for Kiera.
I said at the beginning that this book was long awaited, I love Eden Butlers books and from the small teaser she had let out, I know this book would be amazing. Did I get A book hang over? HELL YES!!! Was it worth the puffy bags and tears on my pillow having to leave my room so that I could read in the quiet dark with only her words surrounding me? YES! This book reminded me of that movie with Drew Barrymore, "Mad Love" only without the mental illness and a better ending. That all consuming love that burns you until all the oxygen you breath has to be delivered by the one that holds your heart.
