Reviews
Last
time Lila Harris was in Happy, Texas, she was actively earning her reputation
as the resident wild child. Now, a little older and wiser, she's back to run
her mother's café for the summer. Except something about this town has her
itching to get a little reckless and rowdy, especially when she sees her old
partner-in-crime, Brody Dawson. Their chemistry is just as hot as ever. But
he's still the town's golden boy-and she's still the wrong kind of girl.
Brody
hasn't had much time lately for anything other than ranching. Running the
biggest spread in the county and taking care of his family more than keeps him
busy. All that responsibility has him longing for the carefree days of high
school—and Lila. She may have grown up, but he still sees that spark of
mischief in her eyes. Now he's dreaming about late-night skinny dipping and
wondering how he can possibly resist the one woman he can never forget...
She
picked up her pace, but Brody matched his long strides with hers.
“Don’t
feel like you have to walk me my vehicle. I’m a big girl and I’ve been takin’
care of myself for years.”
“You’ve
always been able to take care of yourself, Lila, but I want to walk with you.”
His hand went to her lower back.
The
intense heat would probably leave an imprint on her back for days, but she
didn’t argue or shrug his hand away.
When
they reached her bright pink truck, he gave a low whistle. “Nice.”
She
found her keys and touched a button that started the engine. “I left the
motorcycle at home.”
“Oh,
really?” His expression said that he didn’t believe her.
“Yep,
I didn’t want to get to the bar and have helmet head.”
“Are
you serious?”
“Why
would you be so surprised? I am, after all, the resident wild child of Happy,
Texas. I’m surprised there’s not a picture of me beside the city limits sign
warning everyone to steer clear of that Lila Harris. If you rub shoulders with
her, you get an instant ticket to hell. Do not pass go. Do not collect two
hundred dollars. Just get ready for the ride.”
“Motorcycles
are dangerous. You shouldn’t…”
She
laid a finger over his lips. “When we were back in high school, I stayed on
that bull for eight seconds and climbed to the top of the water tower. You
didn’t fuss at me about those things, but wait—you were right there too. Well,
darlin’, buy a Harley and we’ll terrorize Happy together.”
Brody
stepped closer, penning her against the truck door. She put both hands on his
chest with intentions of pushing him away, but she made the mistake of looking
up into his eyes. Lashes slowly closed to rest on his cheek bones and she
barely had time to moisten her lips before she was swept away by a scorching hot
kiss.
She
knew she should push him back, but instead her arms went around his neck and
she touched his bottom lip with her tongue. He groaned and opened his mouth,
deepening the kiss into fiery hot passion. She would have been there until
daylight, but he finally stepped back, picked up her hand and kissed her palm
twice.
“One
kiss for the Lila I remember, and the other for the woman that she’s become.
Both are very special.” Then Brody
turned and disappeared into the darkness.
