Synopsis
(Conflicted Love is book #2 in the Needle's Kiss series and should be read AFTER Tattered Love to fully grasp the story.)

Teeny has been strong for too long. One amazing crazy night, with her best friend's cocky colleague, leaves her with more than just unwanted feelings and cravings she just can’t seem to quench.
She's knocked up.
He's freaked out.
Life is about to get crazy for two people who can't stand to be close, yet can't seem to pull apart. Tension and confusion turn into mood swings and midnight snacks. How can things ever go back to simple times when every direction leads to chaos?

Excerpt
Twenty minutes late and running out of patience I reached in quickly undid her belt and picked her up, ignoring her squeal of surprise I pulled her purposefully flush against me one hand full of lush ass the other on her hip.
Lowering my head to her neck I took a deep breath in, catching the soft vanilla scent of her blonde hair taking as much as I could get I gently bit her earlobe then ran my lips over the same spot.
“Don’t push me, Princess. I’m clear out of give a fucks and my dick's so hard it could hammer nails. Move that sweet ass before I bend it over and fuck it into oblivion” I growled in her ear driving the point home with a quick swat to her ass.
Making sure her feet were on the ground I let go and stalked for the house adjusting my now very tight in the crotch jeans. I also didn’t miss the soft moan from Teeny before she cleared her throat and mumbled something about assholes and penis trucks then stomped up the sidewalk.

Review by Wendy
Conflicted Love ****Revised Review****
3 Baby Daddy Stars * * * plus one more for the Author *
Sometimes I will read something, get a general impression
and want to share that with all of you. If I am smart, I usually give myself a
little time to see what type of impact the story has on me; then share my
thoughts and feelings.
With this book, I really didn't give enough time to see
where it would take me; and because of that, I am revising my review.
I was most taken by Trip in this book and since he was
the main reason for my connection, I gave him my 3 baby daddy stars. But after
finishing my review, other thoughts from Conflicted Love filtered into my head.
Thoughts about what the author had done to make me interested in these
characters; ways she had them think and then act... so since I couldn't get
clear of these moments... I had to realize I sold this book short. Thus the
revied review. What follows below is the original review with the additional
thoughts about the author and writing.
Because I always promise you an honest review... and now
you really have one.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At the end of Tattered Love, we saw Mace and Scar working
on their HEA... but were left with the reveal of what was to happen next for
Trip and Teeny.
Their one night of drunken hot steamy can't get enough
sex... left a little surprise... and Teeny is trying to figure out what to do
about it. In the worst way to learn you are a baby daddy, Trip stumbles onto
the knowledge that the guy he wants to take to task for doing this to Teeny
.... is him.
Now Trip doesn't handle hearing this news in the best of
ways... saying everything a gal does not want to hear... as he really was taken
by surprise. And Teeny is just lost... she has had the hots for Trip and has
always liked him... but because of her life experience, she is afraid she will
never measure up as a mom or girlfriend. She looks at Trip as the man-whore she
knows and does not see any kind of future with him.
This book had its' moments. Trip became a beloved figure
for me. When he realized all that was happening and his overwhelming desire to
be the dad he always wanted... he stepped up and never stopped. He was sincere,
caring and willing to do whatever it took to make Teeny comfortable and happy.
And brother..... it took a lot.
Teeny was a handful... I really have to say... didn't
really dig her. When you have a guy like Trip, falling all over himself,
showing how willing he is to do whatever for you... then why play all kinds of
games?
My three stars all go to Trip and his family. They were
there to support him and all the love they gave the two was perfect.
***I would like to add the extra star for the writing.
This author has flair, humor and a way to make these situations real. Although
I was not a huge fan of Teeny, I understood why she first felt the way she did
regarding motherhood and relationships. We were able to see these two grow as
people through their POV’s and that is always a delight for me. She brought a
vision and voice to these characters which rang true and so many times when
reading… it can just falls short. I do like her voice and hope to see what
happens next from her.
I don't know if another book will be happening for this
troop... it ended on a positive note. If you read Tattered Love, then you
really should read this. It is worth the effort to see the growth in Trip, his
brother Mace and Scar.
