Review by Jeanne Obsessive Pimpette
Kensington has suffered a tragic loss, vowing to never trust a man with her heart.
Maxton lives with the agony of losing his father due to his selfish mother. He refuses
to ever speak to her again. All he seeks are one night stands, having vowed to never
allow a woman to steal his heart.
When he plays wingman to his best friend and roommate Brighton, he meets Kensington and she
rocks his world. He's got to have her! Kensington is turned off by his cocky attitude
and proceeds to ignore him.
When Kensington's best friend and roommate, Nicole, pleads with her to come with for a dinner
at Brighton and Maxton's house, she reluctantly agrees.
Maxton soon discovers Kensington isn't a "one night stand" kind of girl,and he's intrigued and wants
to get to know her. She slowly chips away the wall around his heart, and he's determined to make
her his girl, something he's never had or wanted. Will she trust him enough to give him her heart?
This is a sweet love story. Ms. Ryan made me feel the pain that Kensi went through, and had me
pulling for Maxton to win Kensi's love.
Excerpt
She’s timid, constantly fidgeting. She’s moved the pillow on her lap at least twenty times. Her breathing is accelerated and her leg is bouncing up and down with nerves.
It’s taking extreme effort to concentrate on the movie. We’ve almost made it to the end when I hear her sniff. At first, I don’t think much of it, until it happens again. I turn to look at her and see tears rolling down her cheeks. Without thinking, I reach over and wipe the tears away with my thumb. She gives me a watery smile. “I forgot how it ended. I never would have agreed to watch it with you if I had remembered.” She chuckles at herself.
Something in my chest tightens at seeing her tears. No man likes to see a woman cry in his presence, but this is different. I feel…protective of her. Like I could kick Ben and Bruce’s ass for making her cry. Now I want to kick my own ass for even thinking it.
I watch as she offers me another smile through her tears. “Don’t hold it against me,” she says, chuckling. I have something I would like to hold against her, in her, whatever. I don’t get the chance to respond as the door to her apartment flies open. In walks Nicole and Bright. Fuck! This is not what I need. This is going to go down one of two ways. He’s going to be pissed that I pursued her or he’s never going to let me live it down that she’s gotten under my skin.
