(William)

“You’re a great singer Emily , that was wicked. I’ve never had anybody sing naked for me before. From now on I will always think of you when I hear this song.”

She’s jumping around on my bed with her beautiful hair and knockers swinging up and down, and I don’t think I’ve ever smiled for this long in my whole entire miserable life. This woman, this beautiful woman, is a bloody godsend.

She finally gets tired and flops down next to me on the bed. I’ve had a hard tool for hours and I would give anything to have some relief. How sweet a revenge it would be if I banged his wife? He ruined my sister and I will ruin his wife, an eye for an eye, arsehole. I’m still floored by how I could’ve possibly hated this beautiful, innocent woman. She’s a bloody saint, it’s him that’s the devil; she only knew him, fucked him, loved him. She had no experience, no idea what kind of life she could have without him. I could give her everything and I could love her in ways that bastard doesn’t even know how. He’s not capable of loving one woman, just cheating, lying, and eventually, destroying anything beautiful that he gets his dirty paws on.

I know she’s currently smashed, but the way she smiles at me—she wants me, she needs me to make her forget that arse. Liam, you can do this, make the first move, I try to motivate myself. If she saysno I’ll back away and go wank off in the loo. This is it; I’ve waited to touch her all day. I start by taking her small hand in mine and turning it so I can kiss the inside part. Touching her is heaven. I watch her eyes as they slowly close in pleasure. I didn’t think it was possible, but my dick just got harder; next level will surely be rapture. I continue kissing the inside of her arm, and her skin feels like pure silk. She smells of beach and pineapple juice. Em ily had at least ten Malibu Bay Breeze cocktails while telling me everything there was to tell about her love life on the beach today. I lower my head to her stomach and give it a nibble. She starts giggling as my hair falls and grazes her skin. I look up to see her smiling with her eyes shut, and the sound of her laughter is the best sound in the world. Does she make him feel this good? I’m delirious just being alone with her.

I look at her sprawled before me and I want to suck and squeeze her tits, but I’m worried it’ll be too much, too soon for her…I don’t want to scare her. I know she’s bloody naked in my bed with only her knickers on and everything she does is turning me on. I’m nuzzling her stomach dangerously close to her pussy, but she’s most definitely intoxicated. I should just tuck her in and perhaps give her a friendly goodnight kiss, I think as I get a whiff of her arousal. My mouth actually waters and I may ejaculate prematurely just imagining how wet she is. I’ve been dying to kiss her perfect lips from the moment she told me her husband was cheating on her. How could that bastard ever want or need anything but her? All I want is to stop her from crying and kiss her so hard she forgets Louis Fucking Bruel ever existed and that she happens to be his wife.

I can’t help myself now, my hands have a mind of their own, and they’re touching her beautiful tits and squeezing those hard nipples that I’m salivating to suck…as she moans, “Oh, Louis, please don’t stop.”

New York

(Sara)

I’m at my usual table eating my usual Nutella-filled chocolate croissant and sipping English breakfast tea with milk and two sugars. I look down at my favorite navy Prada suit paired with my nude colored Jimmy Choos. I smooth over my hair that, thanks to my useless alarm clock, I didn’t have time to deal with this morning; therefore, it’s pulled back. But I made it, I’m here and I wait. I wait almost every single day. I’ve only missed seeing them while I moved to London for a few years, but other than that—rain, snow, or shine—I’m always here.

The staff at Joanna’s restaurant are incredible; I have been coming here almost every day for seven years and they just leave me to my business. They don’t ask me what I want, they already know, they just nod their hello and bring me my usual. I sit in my customary tiny table by the window as I wait to see him leave his house. I have the perfect view of his brownstone from this angle. He sometimes looks up toward the corner restaurant before getting into his car, almost as if he senses me watching him.

I look down at my watch; it’s almost half past seven and he still hasn’t left his house. I finish my flaky brioche and wonder for the millionth time how they fucking get all that velvety smooth chocolate inside without marring the pastry, must be a syringe, I conclude as I devour the last bite and look out the window just in time to see his black car pull up. A minute later, he finally emerges, clean-shaven and hair still slightly damp. I inhale as if I’m standing right next to him. The three of them get into the back of his chauffeured SUV and drive off.

Time’s up! I think sadly to myself and whisper “See you tomorrow, JJ,” to no one in particular.

My Review

I really enjoyed Love in Rewind (Audio Fools Book #1) but this one was just something else (in a good way). I could not help but feel sad for Sarah and Will. You could feel their sadness and I think that is what made this book special. Sometimes it is really difficult to connect or feel things for the characters but in this one my heart just kept breaking throughout the whole story. Not a lot of books can keep me so emotionally involved, but like Love in Rewind this was just another one that did. It kept me on the edge, just waiting for more revelations by Sarah and although she had set up herself by starting all her lies. I had to sympathize with her. She had gone through so much in her life and the fact that she felt she couldn’t confide in anyone was just so sad. But in a way, I can relate to that. I feel better telling things to strangers rather than people I have known, which is why her and Liam’s connection seemed so real.

There are fairytales which is what we kind of got in Love in Rewind then there is the bad luck that Sarah and Liam get. And I believe in both. Some people just get lucky and stay lucky, while others have to wallow in their own misery and just go on with life not being happy. But like Liam and Sarah’s encounter, anything can happen in a few hours and you can have a connection with someone in a really short amount of time that means more than the years you have known others. And once again with this book everything just seemed so realistic. It may be fiction but both of these books have been some of the most realistic ones I have read. I really hope that whatever happens in the next book shows Sarah and Liam getting a happy ending, we all know they deserve it.

There was also 80’s music involved in this one and you can find the playlist here.

EXCERPT:

I didn’t need to look back to know who was behind me. His scent alone added another milliliter of arousal to my underwear. I couldn’t turn around, he was leaning into me so close. I could feel his heat as his wide muscular chest pressed against me, enveloping me. Heart don’t fail me, now. Please don’t stop beating, I kept repeating to myself as my heartbeat started increasing to presto speed.

“Are you trying to make me come in my pants in front of all my clients, little girl?” he asked.

Fuck, I need to breathe. He continued whispering into my ear, making every hair on my body stand at attention. “I’ve been jerking off to the vision of your tits in that white top for the last two weeks.”

I think I officially stopped breathing when he said, “your tits.”

“Please tell me you’re at least eighteen. I really don’t want to go to jail. But I think it might be worth it even if you’re not.”

Okay, Emily, snap out of it. Say something adult and memorable. This was my chance.

“Yeah, I’m eighteen…” I finally said, a little breathlessly. He got a little closer as his whole body shook laughing at my pathetic comment. I could faintly feel something hard bulging out and grazing my lower back. I was afraid of having a spontaneous orgasm if he got any closer.

“Thank … you … God. So you must be Jenna’s little sister?” he asked, sending chills through my overheated body. My underwear was soaked by now. Even I could smell how aroused I was.

“If Mike knew what I wanted to do to his hot little sister-in-law right now, he’d have my balls.”

I still hadn’t turned around. My legs were shaking; my brain was drawing a blank. I was much braver in my fantasies. Thank God there was no one in the kitchen to see us. WAIT! Reality hit me—where was everybody? Shouldn’t the other staff members be helping me with the clean up? Oh my God, can somebody see us? I thought. I remembered the one-way glass and started to turn my head around to check just in case anyone else was there. That’s when Louis Bruel’s lips brushed my cheek as I turned my head. I guess that was the official moment I stopped breathing. I gathered all my strength and turned to face him inside his loose grip. I looked up at him, trying to seem in control of the situation. After what felt like twenty minutes of me craning my head up to his towering height, he broke our silent stare-off.

“I can’t believe how beautiful your eyes are, little girl. They remind me of the water in Turks and Caicos. Your hair is the color of the sand there.”

My Review

Okay, so this was a really good book. I haven’t really read much on people who are actually married but this one will definitely be one that will stick with me when I do eventually get in a relationship. It is so important to have trust and talk about things with your spouse/partner instead of leaving things unsaid. Like their motto at the end, “If you see something, say something.” Also, the age difference did not bother me at all, if anything I agree with the difference. I feel that the book would have had a different vibe if they were closer to age. Forgiveness is super important as well, the person someone was before is not the same person they could be in the present. This book is just one that I think everyone who likes romance should read. We almost never get stories on people who are married and in this one it was a really good reflection of how a relationship can change. This book was a lot like a fairytale, they basically fell in love at first sight and had a relationship others could only dream of. And although this is fiction, it seemed very realistic. Tali’s writing was also fantastic and it kept me intrigued throughout the whole thing. The part where it was through the POV of Louis just broke my heart. That whole time I just kept thinking that couples need to talk about what is going on in their lives instead of hiding things from each other. Overall, this book may be considered erotica but it does not take away from the realness of the story of these two people. We also got to enjoy some 80’s music throughout the whole book which was really interesting and you can find the playlist here.

All in all this book was hot and it took me through a roller coaster of emotions, but I totally recommend it to anyone who wants to read a romance novel that will give you a lot to think and feel.
