First book I have read by this author. I really enjoyed this read. Even though Life threw Chad and Opal trouble after trouble, the end result was well worth it. Recommending to all readers.

EXCERPT #2

The way she tastes has been seared into my memory. I take my time exploring her mouth with mine. Knowing that, if I don’t quit now, I’ll only want more, I decide to break away from our kiss. She surprises me, though. When her delicate hands grasp each side of my face along my jaw, she pulls me closer. This time, she eagerly meets my tongue with hers. Her moan is soft and telling—telling me that she wants me as badly as I want her. Finally, she wrenches away from me, panting, and begins to pace the room nervously.

“Thad, what are you doing here?”

“I told you I came to see you, but clearly, you were expecting someone else.” I sound like a fucking pussy, but I’m hurt that she’s not all dolled up for me. If I weren’t worried about ruining her perfect living room, I’d plant a fist right through the wall—I know exactly who she’s all dressed up for.

Last night meant nothing to her.

Her lips form a pout and I can see that she feels guilty. But when her eyes glance over at the front door and then back over at me, I know I’ve lost.

“Thad,” she frowns. She doesn’t have to say the words. I already know.

“Have fun with Trent. It looks like he’s taking you somewhere special,” I mutter angrily. Then I stalk toward the door, eager to get away from her blatant rejection.

“Wait.”

With my hand on the doorknob, I turn to regard her with a questioning look. Her eyes are brimming with tears.

“I’m sorry. In another life, Thad. I just can’t.”

I shake my head in disappointment as I open the door. “Tell me, Opal. Can’t or won’t?”

She bites her lip but doesn’t make a move toward me. Her choice is made.

“There is something there and you goddamn know it.” I pause a moment before snapping out the last of my piece. “And you’ll realize it when you’re with Trent but thinking about me.”

Blog Tour for the JAGGED LOVE by Nicole Simone @NicoleSimone20

Title: Jagged Love

Author: Nicole Simone

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: December 9, 2014

Synopsis

The day I found my mother dead was the day I was set free. That might sound harsh but my mother was a drug addict. Had been since I was a baby. Pills were her salvation. Crack was her demise. I should have known though, even dead, my mother’s demons wouldn’t stop chasing me. To the outside world, I’m a normal, twenty something year old woman - brown hair with caramel colored highlights, gray blue eyes and French manicured tips. What they don’t see are the map of scars etched into my skin or the barb wired wrapped around my heart. As the saying goes, it only takes one person to change your life. That person for me was Andrew. From the moment we locked eyes, I was hooked. He was intriguing, a word that doesn’t get used lightly. Men were a dime a dozen, but Andrew – Andrew was special. I could tell in the way he spoke, passionately and without reservation. However, my type and his type didn’t mix. We were bound to explode yet I was powerless to the attraction between us. As our paths merge, secrets are revealed, past bleeds into present and danger lurks on the horizon.

Excerpt

Andrew drew closer. Pure male exuded out of his pores, raw and primal. My skin heated as his crotch pressed against my behind. A smile could be heard in his voice when he spoke. “He has five kids and a wife. They run him ragged but he secretly loves it.” “Do you want that?” I whispered. “A family to call your own?” Andrew’s lips brushed against my ear, sending my pulse to skyrocket. I waited with bated breath for an answer I wasn’t sure I wanted to hear. “I thought I did once but not anymore.” My shoulders sagged with relief. Andrew chuckled. “I’m guessing we are on the same page.” This was an oddly intimate conversation to have facing the wall. I spun around and immediately second-guessed my decision. The air in the room grew thick with sexual chemistry as I fought against his magnetic pull. Alarms blared in my head. Roommates with benefits weren’t part of the package. Obviously, Andrew didn’t get that memo though. Captivated by his eyes as clear as a reflecting pool, he brushed a lock of hair from my face. “When I look at you, I see color. Oranges, pinks, turquoise, and deep purples. You’re Technicolor amongst an otherwise bland world.” My breath snagged in my throat. “No I’m not. I’m grays, black, and muted beige.” “One day you’ll see how I see you and that day will be the greatest day of my life because then you’ll know you’re worth more than gold.” His words poked at a raw and vulnerable place hidden amongst the scars. I acted self confident and assured, but it was a ruse. How did Andrew know that? My eyes fell to the floor. He lifted my chin with the tip of his finger. Using his thumb as a paintbrush, he painted the lines of my face. With each feather light touch, the passion in his eyes grew brighter. I could feel myself unraveling, thread by thread until there was nothing left. “Just fucking kiss me,” I growled. As if coming out of a trance, Andrew stumbled backwards. His gaze became unfocused and wild. The cold slap of rejection sunk into my bones. “Forgive me.” Andrew looked at his hands and shoved them into his pockets. “That was uncalled for.” He skittered away before I could say otherwise. My back slid against the wall and I tucked my knees to my chest. Bewildered tears clogged my throat. Anybody in his right mind would have heard the need in my voice, so why did Andrew act like he’d stolen my virginity?
