Summer was smart, gorgeous, and cocky as hell. Nothing was out of his reach. Not even Carrie Ann Lowell. He was the love of her life—until he shattered her heart. Their breakup left more than a profound rift in her soul. It crushed her.
When Carrie Ann’s college flame forces his way back into her life, his dirty-talking, bold self-assurance re-ignites a passion she thought had long since been extinguished. Carrie Ann didn’t believe in second chances.
Not even for him.
No matter how deliciously tempting.
With sparks flying and hidden truths unraveling, will Carrie Anne be able to deny her desires to save herself from another heart break?
I first ran across this author a couple of years ago when I
was watching a YouTube video with some beautiful book quotes from some of our
favorite books. If I didn’t know the
book I looked it up on the list given by the video creator. I immediately liked the book that I read and
decided that this was going to be an author I was going to watch for. Sadly like most things, I got busy with other
reviews, life, and just living so I lost track of not just the author, Beverly
Preston, but also the series I was so looking forward to reading. When I signed up to review A Taste Of Summer I had planned on
reading the books I missed but ran out of time.
Luckily I didn’t need to read the rest of the series and I never felt
lost, what I felt was the reminder of why I enjoyed Ms. Preston’s writing so
much the first time I had read any of her work.
A Taste Of Summer,
in my opinion is the perfect summertime read.
Yeah I went there, deal with it lol.
But seriously, second chance romances are one of my favorite to read;
there is just something about two previous loves having a second chance at
happiness with each other that just does something for me. What can I say deep down I am a romantic at heart
and believe in soul mates; and despite what other’s may think just because a
couple may be soul mates it doesn’t mean it is all going to be rainbows and
butterflies and never any type of hardship.
Relationships aren’t perfect so why should soul mates be? And in my opinion Ryan and Carrie Ann are
just that, soul mates.
I absolutely loved this one and am going to make the time to
go back and read the books I missed out on as soon as I can. A Taste
Of Summer will have you hot and bothered, emotional, and will have you
turning the pages from the beginning to the very end without taking a
break. Add this to your TBR people this
is a great book.

Summer skewered her with a harsh
stare. “Stop acting like you don’t feel the connection we share.”
“That was a long time ago, Summer.
You don’t know anything about me anymore.”
“Ah, that’s where you’re wrong Red.
I know exactly who you are. What you want. What makes you happy. You need a man
who will want you for exactly who you
are. Independent, hardworking, passionate, fun, bossy and as stubborn as the
day is long…in Alaska.” In spite of his seriousness, she almost smiled. “You
also need a man who’s confident enough to put you in your place occasionally.”
“Don’t forget faithful,” she
stabbed, whirling her back to him. Her breasts on display to the great outdoors
reaching for her shirt. Thrusting each arm into the oversized sleeves, she
busied herself with the buttons. High strung emotions caused her fingers to
tremble, hindering her progress. “That man doesn’t exist.”
She heard him make a scoffing sound
as he latched his fingers around her wrist, turning her to face him. Her heart
spurred into a frantic beat. His grip so gentle and caring that she had no
chance at resisting him. The soft cotton fabric of her shirt listed open all
the way to her navel and below. The slope of her full breasts fully exposed,
yet he seemed enthralled with her face.
“Our connection is far more than
physical. We share a closeness, an intimacy that stretches beyond that of past lovers,
Carrie Ann. Our bodies, our energy, we vibrate on the same frequency.” A
familiar strain in his tone, low and ragged, flooded her with memories of long
nights filled with passion and companionship. “Your laugh reaches the darkest,
dustiest corners of my soul and brings it to life. When you’re near me my heart
feels fuller. My breath comes easier. My smile…fuck…I can’t wipe it off my face
when I’m near you. I connect with you on every level of my being, Carrie Ann.”
“What are you? Some kind of inspirational
relationship guru now?”
He ignored the dig. “You make me
fall for you…every…single…time just by the way you look at me.”
Battling the oncoming waterworks
burning the back of her eyes and nose, she willed her defenses, regarding him
scornfully, “You just want a blow job or…or a fuck for the night.”
His eyes broadened. Her crudeness
surprised him more than it shocked herself.
“Well, I do love the vision of your
mouth wrapped around my cock.” He moved closer, coasting his fingers along the
ridge of her jaw. “And I most certainly want to fuck you senseless.”
“I’m sure you’ve knocked sense into
plenty of women.”
“Carrie Ann, I’ve never wanted to
fuck another woman the way I want to fuck you.”
Her lip curled, repulsed by his
words. Summer was visibly shaking. She started to pull away from him, but he
gripped her arms.
“You’re also the only woman I can really talk
to. And the woman I want to look into the future with. Plain and simple, Red. I
just want you. Inside, outside, upside down and fucking sideways.” The
demanding but gentle squeeze of his fingers around her biceps, drew a rush of
breath from her lungs. A flash of belligerent male triumph ignited fire in his
eyes. Apparently he was happy to have finally made his point. “Carrie Ann,
you’re the only woman I want in my bed when I wake up every morning.”

#1 Bestselling Author, Beverly Preston
has been a stay at home mom for 21 years, although she prefers the title
Domestic Engineer. Along the way, Beverly worked side by side with her husband
Don, the love of her life, designing, building and selling custom homes. As her
children begin to venture out on their own, she’s left to shed a tear—for a
minute—wonder what’s next in life, and embrace the feeling of empowerment that
surely must’ve been wrapped in a present she received on her fortieth birthday.
If Beverly isn’t at home riding her spin
bike, you’ll find her spinning richly emotional and sinfully sexy romance
stories.
