Two people, an ocean, a big fish and a small monkey. She doesn’t trust herself and he can’t remember when he trusted anyone.
(Lara) A spoiled man-whore was a bad idea even for a girl who majored in bad ideas. It was the monkey’s fault I didn’t take my own advice. Mrs. Dalloway caught me way off guard. She stripped him down to his bare humanity and wouldn’t let me throw a blanket over that naked soul. Everything he did was contradicted by all that he was. The little white-faced princess on his shoulder never missed a chance to point that out. Mrs. D was a shameless charmer but honest to her bones. She forced me to look at the truth of him until the reality of Morgan had me hooked.
(Morgan) I agreed too quickly. I thought she’d be a punctured, tatted up, street-smart bitch with the kind of balls it took to hang in a major league pressure cooker of a go-to South Beach restaurant. The only thing I guessed right about was the ‘nads. She had ’em but the package was all wrong. There were waves where I expected spikes, soft where I was looking for hard. Then she schooled me about dear dad’s precious art collection and I realized street wasn’t her only kind of smart. Mrs. D–who knows every wart on my blemished spirit–surprised me with a rare nod of approval. It’s usually a good idea to listen when your best friend has something to say. Even if your best bud is a monkey.
Hooked (The Hunt) is a new adult romance that unfolds in a trilogy, each featuring a high energy adventure that escalates Lara and Morgan’s relationship with physical and emotional challenges. It is intended for mature readers due to explicit content and language.
Nice cover!
Mmmm, I’ve always loved guys with longer hair in the front. Must be from growing up in the 80’s!
