Guys like Ryker Russo don't notice girls like Jenna Armstrong.
Constantly on the move, Jenna doesn't want to settle down anywhere. As long as her latest motel room has a television, wi-fi, and a vending machine, she will make do. It isn't just Jenna's curves that make her self conscious. Beneath her clothes she hides a secret, one that she is running from.
But when her car breaks down, leaving her without a mode of transport to get to the next town, mechanic Ryker seems to show an interest in her. With his muscles, tattoos, and piercings, Ryker has trouble literally written all over him. Jenna can't understand why he would want to be seen with a fat girl like her, and besides, she needs to keep moving. Time is running out and she's terrified if she stays in one place, her past will catch up to her.
Genre: FICTION / Romance / GeneralSince publication in March (last month), Cut Too Deep has sold over 700 copies and has hit the best seller lists for its genre in both the US and the UK.
Ryker stepped forward, closing the gap even farther.
“I know when I want something, Jenna,” he growled. “I don’t give up that easily.”
Every action seemed to happen in slow motion. He reached out, his fingers slipping lightly across the skin of her throat, to slide into the hair at the nape of her neck. Her breath quickened. He wore a chunky, silver ring, the cool of the metal scorching the heated flesh of her throat.
He leaned in, hesitating for a moment to allow her to move into him slightly, giving her consent. And then he kissed her.
Ryker’s lips were warm and soft. He controlled the kiss, his lips parting, causing hers to open in response. His hand cupped one side of her cheek, as his tongue lightly flicked against the tip of hers, seeking entry. She couldn’t help but respond to him, and their tongues met in a cautious, delicate dance. He tasted of mint, and her tongue touched the metal ball of his piercing, sending a thrill of excitement through her.
This is the most perfect kiss, her mind announced. No matter how long she lived or how many men she met, no first kiss would live up to this one.
They broke apart, though Ryker stayed close to her, his fingertips still lightly touching her jaw, his eyes boring into hers.
“You kissed me,” she said, unable to keep the wonder from her tone.
He smiled and her heart felt like it might explode. That was the sort of smile she could fall in love with.

Author review: Eva was wonderful to work with. She stayed in touch during the whole process, and met the deadlines. I had a proofreader work on the translation as well, and the proofreader enjoyed the translated book. I'd happily work with Eva again. |
