Review

I found the beginning of this story very long and I believe it over stressed the love which was shared between Lynsie and Lincoln.  As soon as the life changing event happens though, that is when the story really picks up and I found myself mesmerized into what was going to happen next.

Lincoln and Lynsie have the best relationship a married couple could have except for the fact that his job puts him in danger more than Lynsie wants to deal with.  Lynsie wants to settle down and start a family but Lincoln continues to put her off, putting his career first.  Once Lincoln finds out a friend of his from flight training dies in an accident, he agrees with Lynsie that it’s time to start trying to have a baby.

Lynsie in the mean time continues to try and play matchmaker for Dax, who is Lincoln’s best friend since childhood.  Dax continues to dodge the bullet with being set up because his eyes are for only one lady who he can’t have.

It isn’t until a tragic accident during a flight show, that Lynsie’s life dramatically changes for the worst.  She is left alone with her family and Dax by her side.  Dax refuses to give up on Lynsie and steps in to help her through all the tough times to come.  It is through his dedication and loyalty to Lynsie that the friendship starts to turn into more.

This is a beautiful love story stemming from a journey through depression, sadness and lose.

Wrap-Up

I choked up a few times and felt the pain Lynsie was going through – all in all this was a great book (once you got past the long beginning.)

We waste no time stripping each other down once we make it back home.

“You know what I love most?” Lincoln asks as his tongue dances across my bare stomach.

“Hmm,” is all I can manage as I lift my back, pressing myself closer to his mouth of goodness.

“The way you taste.” He licks circles around my navel, teasing my body in a way only he knows best. “The way you taste, baby, it puts every rainbow to shame.”

“Taste the rainbow,” I moan as his mouth continues its path down my waist.

“I plan on licking my way to your pot of the gold.” His hot breath against my inner thigh shoots a jolt of electricity through my body.

I giggle and moan all at once. “All yours, baby,” I gasp as I turn to putty beneath him.

“Say it again,” he demands as he nips and licks, teasing my skin.

“I’m yours. Only yours. Always yours,” I manage to pant before he swipes his tongue right where I want him most. My hands are firm against his head pulling at his short locks, holding him in place as he licks and fingers me until I come undone around his mouth.

He kisses his way back up my body and slides between my legs. I feel him at my entrance, but he stays put until he’s face to face with me. Grabbing me by my chin, he tilts my face up to look him square in the eyes.

“And I am yours. Only yours. I will always be yours,” he breathes against my lips before claiming them. His lips against mine are firm, needy, and full of passion as he pushes himself inside me.

I moan into his mouth as our tongues battle for control. He’ll win. He always does, but in cases such as this, I gladly accept defeat.
