Excerpt:
She traced his lips with her fingertip, her touch so light it sent a shiver stealing through him. He parted his lips and she dropped her hand, brushed his mouth with hers again, softer this time. Lingering. As if she wanted more.
God knew he wanted more. Needed more. He’d missed his wife so damn much.
Reaching up, he cupped her uninjured cheek, holding her to him as he took over the kiss, parting her lips with his delving tongue. She welcomed him, the soft sound of pleasure making his skin tight, and he slid his fingers into her thick, silky hair, holding her to him.
When was the last time they kissed like this? He couldn’t remember. All he knew was he could devour her. Kiss her for hours. Touch her everywhere. Slowly strip off her clothes…
“Sorry.” He broke away from her still seeking lips, feeling like an ass. “We’ve gone too far.”
“What? Are you serious?” The teasing smile curving her lips would be the death of him. He knew it. “We aren’t teenagers with curfews, Vince. You’re my husband. You can do with me what you wish.”
If that wasn’t a bold invitation… “You’re still in recovery, Amber. I can’t push too hard. I don’t want to hurt you.”
“I’m not dead.” She slid closer to him, pressing her cheek to his so her lips rested just beside his ear. “I want you. It’s been too long since I’ve felt you inside me.”
If she only knew the truth to that statement. They hadn’t been together in months. And her words of promise, the way she moved against him, the honey sweet taste of her still on his lips…it was taking everything within him not to jump her. Take her back to their new bedroom and christen that giant king-sized bed properly.
“Amber,” he said warningly, but it was no use. His persistent wife was now nibbling on his ear.
And she knew how much he loved that. What it did to him. Such a dirty trick.
“If you’re afraid you’ll hurt me, don’t be.” She nipped his earlobe, and a low hum that he couldn’t hold back escaped him. “I know you’ll be gentle this time. We can take it slow. Can’t we?”
He wanted to. God knew how badly he missed having her beneath him, naked and willing. But it would kill him if he hurt her. He’d never forgive himself. And what if he couldn’t control himself? Her body, the way she responded to his every touch and kiss had always been his weakness. The first time they met she’d flashed that wicked smile at him and he’d been done. Dead.
They’d moved fast. One minute they were flirting, the next, they were kissing. And then…he got her into his bed.
He never let her out of his life after that. Sexually, they were combustible.
Could he hold himself back if he had her naked in his bed? He wasn’t sure.
ABOUT FALLING FOR HER HUSBAND:
She’s desperate to remember…and he’s desperate to forget.
The Renaldis, Book 3
As one of the heads of his family’s well-respected fashion house, Vincenzo Renaldi is used to living life at light speed. His relationship with Amber, a successful model, was the definition of “jet-set”, from whirlwind romance to quickie wedding. Now, at the rate these two workaholics are going, they may as well live in two different worlds.
Determined to recapture the magic that drew them together, Vince flies to New York to confront his wife. And only succeeds in chasing her away—straight into the path of a moving car.
When Amber awakens in the hospital, she’s overjoyed to see her husband by her side. Yet there’s something behind the relief in his tired eyes. And something behind his determination to treat her like a queen. Something that lurks just beyond the shadows of her missing memories.
And when the truth re-emerges, the pain could be a sign of healing…or the final straw that tears them apart once and for all.
Warning: The last of the Renaldi brothers finally gets his story. Which means a hot and possessive Italian man is on the menu, determined to show his beautiful wife just how much he loves her. In every sizzling, sexy way he can.
Vince – what a sweetheart!
Married couple VInce and Amber have definitely hit a rocky patch and in an attempt to make things right VInce decides to make a decision to move and be with Amber his very successful supermodel wife. He uproots and flies across to the US to be with her. Then the unthinkable happens. THey argue, things get ugly and there is a terrible accident.
Can the marriage that is well and truly on the rocks be salvaged, especially when secret are kept?
I really loved this sweet short read by Karen (the first of her books written under Karen Erickson that I have read) and although it is part of a series it also works well as a standalone too. Amber is a headstrong character and actually the brief bits of her we see at the beginning of the book, I really didn’t like her! However all isn’t lost and as her story unfolds you definitely warm to her!
Vince is just wow and he woos hard and tries to win his wife back even harder! He made me swoon several times and his determination to get what is his made me really feel warm and gooey inside.
The road Amber and Vince follow isn’t smooth and it takes a lot of growing on Amber’s part and one pretty big elephant in the room to be unearthed before the coupe have any chance of moving on!
The side characters are pretty interesting too – Amber’s family, her agent and of course the Italian side of the family too!
All in all this has been a really heartwarming afternoon read and I am definitely looking to download and read the rest of the Renaldi families stories and I hope to see a glimpse of how Vince and Amber meet!
I’ve given this five Stars just because of the warm and fuzzies Vince has given me!
