★ EXCERPT FROM HEARTLESS KING ★
The way she bit her bottom lip while sitting in the back of the taxi sent my heart thundering against my ribs, trying to make a quick escape out the window. She was going through all those thoughts blinking like big caution signs on a dark night saying “No, don’t do this. It’s irresponsible. Here are twenty seven reasons this is a bad idea.” I didn’t want to be a bad idea or a mistake in her mind. She sure as hell wasn’t one in mine.Tugging her toward me, nearly sitting on my lap, I sealed her parted lips mid-gasp with a kiss. Threading my fingers through her hair, I let my tongue dance along her lips, before delving inside.
The taxi driver cleared her throat. Only then did I remove my hand from under her skirt, tracing the edges of her panty line with the tips of my fingers.
I released my hold on her.
Now, her pink cheeked glances and slightly mussed hair were a hallmark to how far away I’d pushed those thoughts out of her mind. That along with her fingers intertwined with mine. Her pulse drumming against my palm.
She had no trouble putting her hands all over me during one of our sessions, but could still be shy about us exploring one another's bodies. An exploration I wouldn’t be finished with until I’d committed each inch of her to memory and could discover which spots made her gasp, whimper and moan.
Her gaze kept darting to the tent in my pants.
"At this point, I’d think you’d be used to it."
With a hasty cash tip to the driver, I hustled her out of the taxi.
We burst through the front door like a zombie hoard was following us through the streets.
With a mischievous grin over her shoulder, Imogen danced outside of my grasp.
Her laugh made me smile as she took off up the stairs, shedding clothes along the way. I gathered up each piece like the world's most tempting breadcrumbs.
A heel, then another.
Her soft black wrap.
The perfectly formed cups of her light gray bra hung on the railing at the top of the stairs.
I stood silently, trying to find her. She was a stripping Houdini.
Her dress, the one that fit her perfectly, in a heap on the floor.
My blood thrummed in my veins, pounding harder with each step. I’d been inside her less than an hour ago and already I was ravenous for her touch.
And that’s when I remembered. The bright blue, lacy fabric in my pocket.
She was totally naked.

REVIEW:
"Even with everything I'd lost, the pain of that no longer overshadowed everything I did. It wasn't a reminder of how things could've been, but a reminder of how every moment going forward shouldn't be taken for granted and should be cherished."
Finally, the story of the last King is here.
If you've read the previous books, you know Colm's current state. He's angry and upset about everything that had happened. I think he has every right to be to feel that way (especially since these feelings have kind of been brewing for YEARS) BUT I do think he was taking it too far. He became so closed off that he doesn’t want to hear from his sister and his best friends and he definitely doesn’t want to forgive. Everytime the people close to him would reach out, his walls would be up.
Colm is at that point where he kinda gave up on rebuilding his life. Imogen has been down that road so she knows how it feels and knows how worse it could get from there. Because of that, she can see through the cracks and she knows Colm feels miserable and is in need of help. I do feel like Imogen was a little lost too. The past few years, she has been doing so much to help others, but what is she doing for herself?
To be honest I needed a little more push to be convinced with Colm and Imogen together right from the start just because I know from the previous books in the series about Imogen and Preston. Despite that, I do understand that the situations Colm and Imogen are in now would work. They both deserve a happy ending especially after what they went through, and they happen to find it with each other. Colm's situation calls for Imogen as the last resort to help him recover, and she doesn’t back down from helping him no matter how hard he pushes her away.
I have so much love the rest of the guys for not giving up on Colm even if he keeps pushing them away. I know Colm gets annoying (a lot, might I add) so that act is a true testament on how loyal the guys are to him. I'm going to miss this bunch! I hope they make appearances in Maya's future releases.
