REVIEW
THIS BOOK!...THIS MAN!...JUST WOW!
Tia has yet again raised the bar with the latest instalment in the OTL series. I had extremely high expectations and again she has managed to dish up a delicious but tortured alpha Cowboy in the form of Patrick's Older brother Stuart Knight. He is an enigma. He is the personification of
flawed perfection and I was absolutely intrigued by his story.
From the moment Stuart and Mariska meet , their souls recognize each other and there is a strong spiritual connection. I felt every single emotion with Mariska and related to her in so many ways. I fell in love with her free spirit and I laughed and applauded the lengths she went to for the man she wanted.
Their love was most definitely written in the stars and despite his noble intentions of fighting for his country fate had other intentions. I never wanted this story to end.
I dont know about you guys but for me Tia seems to write stories that speak personally to my heart.
The parallels to my own life story in each of her books is uncanny. This chick knows love and
so I Hereby crown thee Tia Louise the "LOVE WHISPERER"
another amazing 5 golden star read

Excerpts:
Derek
I rolled us
together onto our sides, wrapping both my arms around her waist and burying my
face in her hair. Her hands slid down my arms until our fingers entwined, and
we held each other through the whispers of afterglow.
All those nights
in the desert, all those conversations. I never could get Stuart to see how
great a wife, a home could be. Now he was pulling me away from mine.
I softly kissed
the top of Melissa’s shoulder, and she struggled to get free, so she could turn
and face me. Sliding closer, she wrapped her arms around my neck, and our
bodies touched everywhere, shoulders to chest to hip to knee, even our noses
met—just before she kissed my lips. I pushed her onto her back and parted them,
sweeping my tongue inside for a deeper kiss that earned me another little
noise.
My lips moved to
her cheek, and I held myself over her. “Stuart wouldn’t be lost if he had
this.”
Reaching up, she
held my face, lightly tracing her thumbs over my cheeks. “Aren’t you the same
age? And he’s never had a serious relationship?”
My brows pulled
together as I thought about it. “If so, he’s never told me. I mean, he can get
laid whenever he wants, but he never lets it go far. He says women are a
distraction.”
Blue eyes
narrowed. “How many distractions did you have in the service?”
That made me
laugh, and I moved to lie beside her. “None. I was with Allison, and then… I
guess I shared his opinion for a while. Until you.”
Those dark years
after my first wife died seemed so far away now that I had Melissa and Dex.
When the cancer took Allison so cruelly and so fast, I turned to stone, my
heart a ball of rage and bitterness. I’d done my duty to God and country and
came home planning a long life with my wife, starting a family, building a
home. She was gone before we ever even had the chance.
When I met
Melissa, everything changed. She was beautiful and kind and strong and so sexy.
She soothed the anger in my heart. She healed me with her love, and she gave me
a son. I could remember my past, of course, but it made my present so much more
precious.
She rolled up
beside me. “I love you.”
“I love you
more.” I smiled, touching her cheek, and she continued.
“So what does
all of this mean for us? What are you thinking?”
My eyes went
back to the ceiling. “I might have to leave you for a bit if he needs help.”
“Derek! He’s a
grown man.” She fell back on the bed, arms crossed, and it was my turn to prop
up beside her.
“He saved my
life, Mel. If he’s in trouble, I have to be there for him.”
“Doesn’t he have
a family?”
“His dad was killed
in the service. It’s just his mom, Patrick, and their little sister Amy.” With
a big sigh, I rolled onto both elbows, onto my stomach. “Amy’s a college kid,
and he’d rather punch Patrick in the face than take help from him.”
“Sounds like a
prick.”
I couldn’t help
laughing again. “I know you love Patrick, but I had that initial response to
him myself.”
“Patrick is one
of the good guys. If you can’t see that—”
“Settle down, I
can see that. He might color outside the lines, but he manages to turn it around
and come out on top. He’s a good man.”
That satisfied
her. She smiled and relaxed her crossed arms, I reached out and pulled her
against my side. “It’s more than an obligation. I want to be there for Stuart.
You’d feel the same way if it was Elaine.”
She couldn’t
argue with that, so we were quiet a moment. A tiny squeal from down the hall
broke the silence, and we both grinned. I was out of the bed first, heading
down the hall without bothering to grab underwear.
Of course, Mel
catcalled after me. “Holy shit! Check out that rear view!”
Dammit again. Stuart had
better have a good reason for pulling me away from this.
