Maphene: For 3 seconds I got excited with thoughts of KA releasing early but I know her. Lol. So back to waiting and nail biting.
Maryse: Your wait is over!!!! It. Is. Time. 😃
So what’s it about?
From New York Times bestselling author Kristen Ashley comes the new book in her River Rain Series, Embracing the Change.
That Kiss…
Gorgeous New York socialite, Nora Ellington has been waiting a very long time for her happily ever after.
So long, she’s given up on it and has decided, even though she’s the plus-one friend without benefits to a man she’s head over heels in love with, an HEA will forever be out of her reach.
Handsome billionaire Jamie Oakley thought he’d had two happily ever afters in his life. However, neither lasted long, and both ended in tragedy. He’s not about to try it again or put his children through the trauma Jamie has learned from experience undoubtedly will come their way.
And he’s made this decision even if the woman who’s become his constant companion is a woman he loves straight to his soul….and wants with everything that is him.
But then, one night, Jamie loses control and kisses Nora.
He can’t go there.
She can’t go on without it.
They’ll never be the same.
Or will they?
Now… tell me this excerpt (below) doesn’t give you a KA thrill!
Excerpt:
As my feet moved, those beautiful blue eyes framed with a fringe of thick black lashes dropped to my fabulous Valentino red Roserouche sandals, and when he looked at my face again, I was treated to yet another expression from the magnificent Jameson Morgan Oakley.
Chagrin and gentleness.
Though, not only that.
Worst of all (far worse)…understanding.
“Nora,” he murmured, beginning to lift a hand my way.
“No,” I said coldly.
His hand dropped and his lips thinned before he tried again. “Perhaps we should talk this through.”
“I believe in the little you’ve said already that you’ve made yourself abundantly clear.”
“I disagree,” he replied.
“That’s a problem for you,” I returned.
“Damn it, Nora,” he clipped. “Now, after what just happened between us, is not the time for you to get stubborn.”
In that moment, I hated he knew me so very well. I detested that I’d let him in so thoroughly. I abhorred the fact, over the last few years, I’d given him everything he would allow me to give when I knew he had no intention of returning the favor.
Yes, our kiss had given me hope I’d been wrong about that last part.
And then he’d dashed that hope.
