Promised Love by Vikki Jay is now live!
Getting stuck sharing a honeymoon suite with a hot, ex-NAVY Seal sounds like it should be a good time. Except Lukas is my husband and we haven't spoken in years.
Until today, we were living separate lives, waiting to get out of this arranged marriage. But my family's meddling has pushed us together. And now he's here filling out his t-shirt just a little too well and staring at me just a little too intensely.
Don't even get me started on the cleft on his chin that pops up every time he smiles. The man has temptation written all over him.
We manage to stay out of each other's way–mostly. Until the tension boils over one night in a car.
I straddle his lap. I press my lips to his. I feel his body against mine. And that one hot moment has me offering something I never thought I would.
What happens in the honeymoon suite, stays in the honeymoon suite.
But what Lukas and I share in that room is so much more than just physical. With every kiss, every caress, every touch, I start forgetting our reality, and wonder if we've got it all wrong.
We planned our divorce four years ago. But what if our plans have changed?
Caroline's Review
🌟🌟🌟🌟
This was a really enjoyable solid read.
"My loner heart found its twin flame in the one I've promised to set free."
Autumn Smith was 16 when she found out that she had been promised in marriage to a complete stranger. Lukas Spencer is a Navy SEAL and 12 years older than her. What starts off as a hotheaded angry email to Lukas turns into a long-lasting pen-friendship. When Autumn is 18, she and Lukas meet for the first time to go through with their marriage to appease her grandparents. She doesn't see him again until four years later, when she finds out that he's been wounded. With some meddling by her grandparents, she finds herself sharing her living quarters with a man who is at the same time a stranger, yet her friend. They'd agreed from the outset that they would eventually divorce, but the more time they spend together, the more they start to wonder if that's what they really want.
"I want to be more important for his existence than oxygen. I want to be bigger than any need, any desire. I want to be enough for him."
The main thing I loved about this story was how their friendship developed over the years through their correspondence. They were there for each other through every major event in their lives, even if it was in a virtual sense. My heart went out to Lukas who was a loner and, deep down, just wanted to belong somewhere and to somebody. Autumn wasn't a typical 22YO - she was mature and had a good head on her shoulders. I loved the way she made Lukas feel seen and cherished, and the fact that she was determined to fight for him. I melted at their heartfelt words of love and what they meant to each other. The two of them together were sexy, connected, and just perfect!
