Favorite lines:
“Sometimes in the middle of the night,” he says, “when I’m in the studio, a song will remind me of you. One line of lyrics, or even just a riff that travels up my spine the way your fingers do. And suddenly I’ll miss the way your skin smells in all the hidden places. I’ll miss the way you sigh when I slide inside you, and the way your eyelashes flutter. Or I’ll just miss the way you laugh at one of my stupid jokes. And sometimes this happens in the middle of the day when I’m at the station, and I know you’re upstairs in the office, and I could walk up and see you in less than a minute.”
I somehow find my voice. “Why don’t you?”
His gaze meets mine, stealing what’s left of my breath. “Because I want you to miss me, too.” (ARC p. 307-8)

Ho-lee crap that’s an awesome quote! It made my stomach do a slow flip. I’ve never read her before. Maybe I should?

Hey, Rosie. That def. is the best quote in the book. I like Smith-Ready, but keep in mind that this is an urban fantasy story about vampires. It’s not a romance novel even though about 50% of the story is focused on Ciara and Shane. This story is also the second book in a series that doesn’t stand alone.

I agree, that quote blew me away! So, where is the review? I am confused. I couldn’t find the link to follow.
