![]() ![]() He smelled like gunpowder and the sea and he was everywhere, shifting closer across the leaves, his other arm snaking around Peter's waist, the iron claw pressed flat between his shoulder blades. Hook's lips were dry, and he tasted like salt and sweet wine. He could only seem to breathe in, breathe Hook in deeper. ![]() The caress of Hook's fingertips under his chin made his pulse catch, his throat flushing, shoulders tightening. He took Peter's chin in his hand, his fingers calloused but gentle, and kissed him.Įverything in the world grew quiet and Peter's body grew loud. Hook's hair was tangled around his face like a lion's mane and his eyes were painfully clear, all teasing and mirth gone from his mouth. ![]() Emma Scott See more on GoodReads Popular quotes ![]()

![]() ![]() I LOVED THIS! Tom is sooooo freakin’ adorable and Merle is (almost) perfect for him! There were so many times that I was absolutely BAWLING while I read this. Though this is the fifth book in the series, it can absolutely be read/listened to as a standalone. Perhaps that's a regional pronunciation? Regardless, fans of the series should enjoy getting to spend time with the casts from some of the other books in the series who make appearances and even play more supportive roles to help Merle and Tom along in their romance. I've always been taught it's pronounced & quot ow-dee& quot and Kelly kept pronouncing it & quot awe-dee& quot. My only complaint about the narration was the (to me) mispronunciation of the car brand Audi. Just a nice, low angst, sexy, romance with a lovely HEA. ![]() Told in Merle and Tom's dual POV, this is sweet without being excessive. Kelly's narration and really thought he did well and had a good handle on the many different character voices and was able to convey the emotions of many scenes without going over the top. ![]() This was a sweet romance and while it slows somewhat in the middle with a frustrating separation, it (thankfully) picks up again quickly. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() (Charles III, who dumped Tracy in her hour of need, requires no revenge action: he's now miserably married to a society type.) End of story? Hardly. So now she's free to take tricky revenge on the half-dozen creeps who framed her-in a series of unconvincing, quickie vignettes. Will Tracy have to serve 15 years? No, of course not: after saving the Warden's wee daughter from drowning, Tracy gets a pardon. ![]() The opening chapters are almost comic in their fast-food melodrama: pregnant Tracy, a Philadelphia bank-employee about to wed society scion Charles Stanhope III, hurries to hometown New Orleans after learning of her bankrupt mother's suicide she confronts the mobster who ruined Mother, accidentally shooting him but the Mob frames her for assault and robbery, landing Tracy in the Big House-where she miscarries after violent lesbian rape. ![]() Cardboard heroine Tracy Whitney goes from sweet-young-thing to framed prisoninmate, from ruthless avenger to international jewel-thief-as Sheldon, never known for originality, does his laziest recycling yet, stringing together old movie-plot clichÃs without shape or conviction. ![]() ![]() While the book is unambiguous about its support of animal rights, things get murkier on the on the subject of how best to go about expressing this support. When the culprits are finally exposed, they are revealed as genuinely villainous people who abuse animals in one of the most loathsome ways possible for one the most abominable purpose imaginable. The very fact that Teddy and Summer treat the killing of Henry Hippo as a murder on the level of killing a human being and that they are not portrayed by as absurd or ridiculous for doing so is an assertive statement of this theme. The book is unabashedly and unambiguously supportive of treating animals with respect and dignity.
