Excerpt:

“Do you play?” 

“Guitar? No, I don’t play anything besides piano.”

“Wanna try?” 

My brows shoot up. “Really?” 

“Yeah, here…” 

Before I realize what’s happening, I’m pulled into Sebastian’s lap, my back pressed against his chest as his arms wrap around mine, and that familiar spicy scent surrounds me along with the warmth of his body.

“You have to place your hands like this,” Sebastian whispers, his warm breath touching the shell of my ear as he places my left hand on the guitar’s neck, my fingers pressed over the strings. “And the other one goes further down, in the middle of the body. Yes, just like that.”

My eyes fall shut, goosebumps spreading over my skin as he maneuvers my body with such ease, like he’s playing his guitar. His hands feel warm on my skin, and every touch spreads tingles underneath my flesh.

It’s distracting, the way he makes my head spin with a simple brush of his fingers, but I can’t seem to pull away.

★★★★★ Kiss Me Tenderly is a beautiful story of loss, pain, struggle, and victory. The incredible characters draw you in and don't release their hold until the very end. One-hundred stars!" - Kate, One More Chapter Addict


My Thoughts:

Make sure to read the Author’s Note. 

 

Penelope has decided that it’s time for a change. Sebastian wants to put things into perspective. You have to feel sorry for each of them but for different reasons. I always envy those that are creative and use it in their time of higher education – a great way to hone their craft. 

 

I must applaud the author for creating a character with challenges that she has to deal with on a daily basis. Our author shows how frustrating it can be to navigate her world. And that world includes people who can be hateful which turns out to be hurtful. 

 

Our male character has his own challenges. But our author, once again, creates someone who is dealing with real-life experiences. Being a celebrity comes with its own challenges. But our author puts in a twist that at times seemed to have me on the edge of my seat. She’s smart in that she gets me invested in Penelope and Sebastian before introducing the twist – even though I think she dropped me a few hints.  

 

It was so easy to picture the scenes as they came and went. The author used just the right words to paint a picture that I could see come to life. It was especially true with the ending. Not sure how she knew I didn’t want their story to end there but she had it already for me. And that included her Acknowledgements.

I never thought I’d bump into my teenage crush on campus, but when it happens, any childish illusions I had about him are erased with a few harsh words. I don’t expect to run into him again, but I’m wrong.

He’s at Blairwood to stay, and not just that, he wants me

Sebastian claims he lost his muse, and I’m the only one who can bring it back, but I want nothing to do with the arrogant man.

That is until he proposes me a deal. 

He’ll help me with my bucket list if I play my piano for him. The request is outrageous, but the more I think about it, the harder it is to find reasons to say no. 

As we spend time together, I get to know the man hiding beneath the jaded exterior, and suddenly my crush doesn’t seem so childish after all. But there is no way that the world-famous rockstar will fall for a small-town girl like me…

Excerpt:

“It’s on your list,” I point out. “Say yes to an invitation. So I dare you to say yes to me. To my proposition.” 

She shakes her head, her cheeks turning rosy. “This isn’t how it works.” 

“Isn’t it?” I challenge, moving closer to her. Maybe it’s a mistake to push her this hard this fast, but I can’t help myself. It’s stronger than me. And it’s not even about her giving in and helping me, not wholly. I liked pushing her buttons, seeing how she was going to react. “I didn’t see any explanations, just the items on the list, and one clearly states you have to say yes to something. Why can’t it be me?” 

“Because I don’t like you?”

“Hmm…” I raise my hand, slowly tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. My fingers graze her cheek. Her skin feels like silk under my fingertips, that rosy color turning darker at my touch. “Why do I have a feeling that you’re lying? Twice in a row, if I might add. I didn’t peg you for a liar, Birdy.”

“I’m not a liar, and not everything revolves around you, you know?”

“We’ll have to agree to disagree, at least for the moment. I’ve read the list, you know? All of it. I stayed up way too late trying to get it to make sense, but I finally did. I can help you with the list, and you know it.” I let my fingers trail down her chin, my thumb running over her lower lip. “Things I can teach you…”

Some things were typical college bucket list items, others… A virgin. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised, and yet I was. I couldn’t imagine a reason why a girl like her was single. Why didn’t some small-town, goody-two-shoes boy snatch her up right after high school and take her to the altar? I have no idea. But I was selfishly glad for it. So fucking glad, and none of it had anything to do with her music at all. 

The more I learned about Penelope, the more she intrigued me. And this was just scraps. I wanted to know it all. I wanted to know her tells. I wanted to know her wishes and dreams. I wanted to know what made her angry. I wanted to know her, plain and simple.

“Why do you need to hear me play so badly? I’m not even that good.” 

The softly spoken question snaps me out of my thoughts. I pull back, unsure if I heard her correctly, but her face is completely serious.

Not that good? Is she crazy?

She’s one of the most talented musicians I’ve heard in a long-ass time. Maybe a little raw, but that only makes it that more special. That more real.

“You have no fucking idea just how good you are,” I shake my head and simply stare at her. My praise makes her cheeks flush harder. 

Innocent. So damn innocent. The vice grip around my stomach tightens at the realization, making me feel unsettled.

This has a bad idea written all over it, but I can’t back down now. I don’t want to. 

“I’m average at best. So why me? Why not somebody else?”

Average, my ass. 

“Your music makes me feel. You make me feel. And I haven’t felt anything in so long that I forgot what it’s like.”

Shattered & Salvaged Duet, an angsty brother's best friend college sports romance, by Anna B. Doe is live and FREE with Kindle Unlimited!

Excerpt:

“Is he okay?” I ask, wrapping my arms around myself as another shiver runs through me.
Nixon stops in his tracks and just stares at me like I grew another head. Maybe I have. “You’re asking about him? After everything that has just happened?” 
“Yes! Is he okay?”
I needed to know that he was fine. Or at least that he’s going to be eventually. 
This was the right thing to do. 
It might not feel like it right now, but it will someday. I know it will.
I meant everything that I said to him. I knew it for a while now. We’ve been going back and forth ever since we met. And there were days when things between us were good, so damn good, but then something would happen that would trigger us, and things would turn bad really fast. It wasn’t healthy, this thing between us.
Too broken.
That’s what we are.
Too damn broken to be together.
