Review & Excerpt Tour - NO RESERVATIONS by Kristen Proby

   

From New York Times bestselling author Kristen Proby, comes a sexy, new contemporary romance novella in her Fusion Series, NO RESERVATIONS, brought to you by 1001 Dark Nights! Grab your copy of this amazing novella today!
     

New York Times Bestselling author Kristen Proby takes us back to her highly acclaimed Fusion series.

Chase MacKenzie is not the man for Maura Jenkins. A self-proclaimed life-long bachelor, and unapologetic about his distaste for monogamy, a woman would have to be a masochist to want to fall into Chase’s bed.

And Maura is no masochist.

Chase has one strict rule: no strings attached. Which is fine with Maura because she doesn’t even really like Chase. He’s arrogant, cocky, and let’s not forget bossy. But when he aims that crooked grin at her, she goes weak in the knees. Not that she has any intentions of falling for his charms.

Definitely not.

Well, maybe just once…

“Are you angry today, Chase?”

“Why do you ask?”

“Because you’re intense, as if you’re angry.”

“I was worried.” He sighs and tips his forehead to mine. “I’m not used to being worried. I’m not used to feeling invested. You could have been hurt today, and I hated the thought of it.”

“I wasn’t hurt.” I let my hands rub up and down his sides soothingly. I haven’t felt the need to soothe someone in a long time. “Thank you for coming to my rescue.”

His lips twitch just before he plants them on my forehead, then he pulls back to look down at me. “I want you. I know you said yesterday that you don’t want sex, so if the answer is still no, I’ll go.”

I frown. I’ve been thinking about what he said all last night when I couldn’t sleep and today when I had a free moment. He’s not the playboy that I’ve thought he is. But I still don’t want something permanent.

Or maybe I do, and that’s the problem.

Hell, I’m confused.

“Please don’t say no,” he whispers, and I look up to find him smiling down at me. His eyes lower to my lips and narrow when I bite them, and I know the answer.

I knew the answer the second he walked up to my car.

“I don’t want you to go.” It’s not a whisper; it’s as clear as day. But rather than push me up against the wall or lead me to the bedroom, he steps back, not touching me at all, and taps his forefinger on his lips, thinking.

“Take your clothes off.”

I blink rapidly and glance around. “My blinds are open.”

“No one can see in here,” he says and waits patiently, and for the first time in a very long time, I’m shy.

He makes me freaking shy.

And we can’t have that. So I raise my chin and grin, happy that I chose the wrap dress that I did today. I reach to the side and pull the string, untying it, and then let it fall in a heap around my feet. 

          


4 of 5 Stars

This novella was a super fun and witty addition to the Fusion Series. Sparks are flying between the heated conversations and the sexual chemistry that these characters share. I found myself laughing many times at their conversations. I love that Kristen was able to draw me in so quickly to these characters and even though it was a novella I felt like they had a full story and I wasn't feeling like they needed more.

Maura is a friend of Kat's and she not so willingly lets her set her up on a blind double date. Last think she expected was for it to be Chase MacKenzie who she has met on several occasions through the wine tours she loves to take. Though Maura is not looking for love and fairytales, she is also not looking for quick hookups either. Her and Chase however are like oil and water and they just don't seem to mix.

Chase has watched his parents go through hard times with addiction and their marriage. As a result he is convinced he doesn't want all that has to offer. Sure he likes to spend time with a beautiful lady but is not looking for a commitment or all it brings to the table. When he finds Maura, whom he has asked out many times to be the woman his sister-in-law has decided to try and fix him up with, he is up for the challenge. Will this be a flop or will Maura let her defenses down this one time?

Can the sexual chemistry that sparks between these two overpower the walls they have built? Is it possible for two people who were convinced that relationship was not for them, to find a special love?
