After This Night by Lauren Blakely
5.0
I start every one of Lauren's reviews the same way. I love Lauren and I have read all of her books. They are all amazing 5 star reads and this one is no different. Except this is more Lauren Blakely on erotica crack! After this Night, the third installment of the Seductive Nights Series is so full of emotion and angst. It's sexy and hot as hell. Clay and Julia have been apart since that day when he left her in San Francisco. They have both been miserable alone. Clay wants to trust her and Julia wants to handle things all by herself. Someone has to make the first move. When they finally see each other again, it's off the charts hot! I love Clay. I want Clay. I want to be Julia. Julia is such an independent, sexy woman who knows what she wants and isn't afraid to go after it. They have to learn to trust each other so they can love each other. They don't always handle things the correct way, but their intentions are genuine. Will it all work out? Can they put aside their egos and go all in? And, as always, Lauren brings other character from her books in this one! My book husband, Chris from Trophy Husband and McKenna, Julia's sister make an appearance. As well as Davis and Jill. And I love the Jane Black name drop, and the No Regrets tattoo parlor. Lauren just keeps getting better and better. Do not miss this one!
His whole body was humming, vibrating at a frequency only she could sense. His skin sizzled, and blood rushed hot through his veins. Nearness to her was an aphrodisiac.
Chris - "To also see so many friends and family here makes the occasion all the better, even though I'd have married her anywhere - in a box, on a boat, in the rain, on a train." "What? It's true, " he said to McKenna.
"You are, and I love it because I feel everything. I feel everything for you." she said.
"Ooh, you're going to make me an offer," she said, tap dancing her fingertips along his arm. "I. Can't.Wait."
He rolled his eyes. "You are red-hot trouble."
"Your sexy mouth is one of my favorite playgrounds," he said.
