The First Taste by Jessica Hawkins

Series: Slip of the Tongue #2 Release Date: August 4th, 2016 Genre: Contemporary Romance

The First Taste Ebook Cover.jpg  

Synopsis:

Andrew Beckwith has already devoted his life to one girl—and as far as he’s concerned, she’s all he needs. The rough-around-the-edges bad boy left his reckless ways behind six years ago when his daughter Bell was born. To the female population’s dismay, he’s unapologetically single. When Bell’s mother walked out on them years ago, he vowed never to let another woman close enough to hurt them again. Amelia Van Ecken isn’t just another woman. She’s an independent, smart, and savvy businesswoman who doesn’t have time for sex, much less love. In the midst of a drawn-out, bitter divorce, all she wants is to bury herself in work. But when sharp-tongued Amelia and stubborn Andrew cross paths, sparks fly—and burn. Two things are obvious in an instant: they want each other, and they’re from different worlds. It’s the perfect formula for an off-the-charts one-night stand. After all, it’s not as if opposites ever attract. The First Taste, a standalone spin-off of the Slip of the Tongue.   TFT-COME

Excerpt

“Blondie, wake up for a second,” Julian whispered in her ear.

Stephanie groaned and shrugged away from his touch. “Could you maybe put your erection away?”

He peeked over to see her eyes still closed and her cheek rested on the back of her hand. Julian shook her once again. “You’re naked. Are you always this distracting in the morning? I’d like to wake up just once without a hard-on.”

“Julian, I’m going to give you something for your ego.” She pulled the blanket higher, covering her perfect breasts.

Her breasts are magic.

Perfect rack.

Ducking down, he pressed his lips against the smoothness of her neck. “My ego is ready.”

“I bet it is.” Stephanie took a deep breath. “You are annoyingly good at sex. Go to work and let me somehow deal with the fact that I like having sex with you. Okay?”

Julian had smiled against her skin before he quickly sat up. “Blondie, Blondie, Blondie!” he honeyed while he shook her with more force.

Stephanie groaned before she finally sat up and rubbed her eyes. Pissed off Stephanie Appleton was a sight. So was just woken and admitted he was a satisfying lover Stephanie Appleton. She was an all-round vision. “WHAT?”

Julian formed a fist and held it towards her, waiting. She glanced down at it and frowned. Her adorable frown distracted him from the fact that her breasts greeted him this morning.

“Put it there.” He lifted his fist a little higher.

Stephanie’s eyebrows furrowed. “You want me to bump fists with you? Why?”

The smirk on his face had caused her to roll his eyes at him. “You said I’m good at sex. I like to believe I’m awesome at it, but we’ll save that kind of correction for later. You said you also like having sex with me. My ego loves that very much. And for your ego, I’m gonna tell ya that you are ridiculously good in bed. We have to bump fists for great teamwork. I come. You come. We come. What a lovely partnership we have going.”

“Oh, my God! I am never having sex with you again!”

He tilted his chin up at her and then cocked a brow. “What an empty threat. Seriously, put it there. Let’s celebrate what an awesome pair we are.”

Stephanie playfully pushed at his shoulder and got off the bed. “You’re an idiot. I am not bumping fists with you for that. I’m going to find a way to dent that damn ego of yours. You’re going to slip up sometime, Moors. You can’t be that great in bed all the time.”

REVIEW

5 Stars

Mettle is book two of the Spartan Riders series.  I do not recommend this without reading Grit book one.  J.C. Valentine captures the motorcycle family like no other. 

I love this motorcycle club with their loyalty to brotherhood and respect of each other.  These men are rough around the edges until they fall for their women then we see the tenderness shine through.  The protectiveness that these men surround their loved ones with is fierce.    

Talia has left her past across the country and is ready to put her work first and one night stands second.  The only relationship she is completely committed to is her job and starting fresh in a new town.

Tucker aka Country is the Sergeant of Arms for the Spartans and has never met a woman worthy of wearing his patch.  He takes his women hard and knows exactly what it takes to please them then send them on their way.

Talia is sassy and confident but a challenge for Tuck.  They are explosive together both in and out of bed.  Tuck might be the one Talia can fall for but she's holding something back.  Talia could be it for Tuck if he can trust her enough to let her into his world.  

Ms. Valentine gives us a fantastic story in Mettle.  We also catch up with the Prez and Gabby and Ash along with glimpses of the other brawn and muscle that are the Spartans.  There were parts that had me on the edge of my seat.  I look forward to reading the next installment of these sexy, loyal Riders.

Then Gabby Morgan enters the picture. She’s flawless, refined, and as his kid’s teacher, way out of his league. She acts like she hates him, but her eyes tell a different story. Before he knows it, Blake finds himself hot for teacher, and he’s more than ready to learn all her secrets.

He spent five years in a Siberian prison camp and has earned every tattoo inked into his skin. He is a powerful man who rules his crew with an iron fist.

But his enemies have discovered his only weakness—Carter. Vladimir knows if she stays in his world, he is handing her a death sentence, so he vows to get her home and never interfere in her life again. Giving up the woman he loves is the only way to protect her from the bad guys—including himself.
