People think I'm a ladies man. On the outside I look like your
typical stud who is only out for sex, but there is more to me than just my
rocker persona. Don't get me wrong, I love to entertain the ladies with a grin
to melt their panties, a body made for sin and fingers that can play a woman's
body like they play my bass guitar, but there's more to me than what meets the
eye. I come from a good, tight knit family who instilled in me to always go
after what I wanted....
And I wanted her...
I had a heart full of love to give to one woman, there was just
one problem, finding the woman who wanted it...
Until her...she was older, wiser, showed me things I had no clue
about. Our relationship was supposed to be fun, until she took it one step too
far and I realized I was way in over my head.
I
wanted more....
My Melody is the story of Melody and Wayne. We met Melody in
the previous book, she's Harmony's older sister. Melody is a free spirit. She
doesn't want to be tied down. A lot of it is her personality and fear of losing
someone like she did her parents. Wayne shows up and tries to sway her. His
reaction to her is out of character. He is a playboy who is just looking for
his next conquest. His encounter with Melody changes him. All the things he
avoided are now what he wants. With Melody, he has a battle before him.
Stubborn as ever, Melody refuses to be swayed by his sweet talk. Their love
story is a roller coaster ride and one that was enjoyable to read.
Most are probably going to read this book and they might not
like Melody. Melody didn't seek out to hurt Wayne. Her fear is legitimate. She
lost two people that she loved, years prior. Her greatest fear is that if she
loved someone, she would lose them too. I understand the concern. So I was able
to connect with her character. She is a great character but I feel she had to
grow up too fast. At a young age she was forced to raise her sister and I think
that played a hand in her free spirit lifestyle.
Wayne surprised me in this book. I never expected to see him
seeking out a relationship. He always acted as if he was allergic to them. I
guess he was bond to find his kryptonite and Melody is that. She has the key to
bring him to his knees and I don't think Wayne would have it any other way.
I like the way West has written this series. It is all music related but it is not bogged down by it. She has written a series where each book can be read as a stand alone or together. I like that I can come in midway into the series and not feel as if I am completely lost. I enjoyed reading this book, maybe because I can see bits of myself in Melody. I did find that it was a bit sluggish at first but once it got me, I was hooked till the end.
My Rating:
4 out of 5 Stars!!
Excerpt
"Sweetness." His voice melts my insides. It immediately makes me wet. We left each other on such bad terms the other day, I want to forget it ever happened, but I am a stubborn person. I hold on to grudges, which is so not cool. I can feel him right behind me. His breath lands on the back of my neck, giving me goosebumps.
I slowly turn around and lean against the jukebox. We are almost nose to nose, lips to lips, he is so close to me. He makes it hard to turn away. "I didn't come here to see you,” my voice cracks. My nerves are getting to me. I need to get back in control. I clear my throat. “June invited me for lunch." His eyes make their way down to my cleavage. I see his lips twitch. He’s trying hard not to smile and be his cocky, gorgeous self. I enjoy his cocky attitude, immensely. Some women might be offended by it, but for some reason it turns me on.
His eyes go back up to mine. "Okay...cool, I guess,” he shrugs.
I know he wants me to say I was there to see him. He seems slightly disappointed. I guess it means he doesn’t let things bother him for very long; he lets go of any anger pretty fast. Unlike me. "I...uh...see ya." I try to move past him, but he keeps me caged up against the jukebox by placing his hands on either side of me. Now we are super close.
"Babe, come on,” he quietly argues.
I can’t control what comes out of my mouth next. He is so hard to turn away. "What's your address? I'll come by later.” His eyes light up, then bites that bottom lip of his. Wetness between my legs. “But not to talk. To play,” I remind him.
"Won't be home till late. We have some publicity shit happening."
"Works for me. Just text me when you get home." Just when I think he’s going to allow me out of his cage, and the second I blink, he dives his tongue inside my mouth. He forces mine to work with his. It’s hot, slow and so very sensual, I can’t help but whimper. I so desperately want to wrap my arms around him, but I keep them to myself - since that’s the only thing I have control over; they stay planted up against the jukebox. He doesn’t touch me either, which turns me on even more so. His hands stay beside me as we continue to kiss. My nipples harden. They’re pressed up against his rock hard chest. I want to strip us both free and be naked with him, but I forget we are in a public room. Without warning, he rapidly unlocks our lips and steps away.
He swipes the edge of his lips with his thumb. "Something to tie me over,” he proudly mentions. So smug. So cocky, so…so insanely hot.
I watch him walk away. He knows I am looking at his tight ass because he grabs it, then squeezes the nice hump. He turns his head and winks at me before he exits the door. I laugh. He is totally crazy and hilarious, I seriously have it so bad for him.
I'm a stay at home Mom of two teenagers. I became a self published author in 2014 after being inspired by many self indie authors. I have enjoyed writing for a long time, but never thought my imagination would carry me to this point in my life. After many years of losing my passion, and from enjoying raising my children I am finally at a place where I can reach for my dreams. Whether I become a best seller or not, I am loving the journey I am on and will continue to write as long as my readers are willing to read my stories.
Other interests: Watching many many TV shows (yes I am addicted), movies, hiking, going to the beach, spending time with the family, road trips, cocktail nights with friends and being interactive with my fans, friends and family on Facebook.
