And if he doesn't, Jo will need to know the real reason why . . . . . . become the love of a lifetime? How do you walk away from your soul mate? Cam wishes he knew. No matter how far he runs from Jo, he can't resist looking back at the silver eyes that seem to see right through him.

Too bad his heart has other ideas . . .

Excerpt
At thirteen years old, Jo had fantasized about her first kiss. In her mind, it would be with Cam. She had practiced on her pillow and French-kissed her hand. She had positioned herself just so during Spin the Bottle, but Cam’s bottle had never landed on her. He’d never even hinted that he’d wanted to kiss her, that he fantasized about her, too. So all she’d had were daydreams. And in those daydreams, Cam nibbled at her lips. Slipped his tongue into her mouth, shy as she was. He was gentle and careful.
This was not that kiss.
This kiss was made of sweet smoke and embers. It sizzled on her lips and seared her senses until she could only feel and taste and touch and see him. The whole universe whittled down to this man completely possessing her with a kiss. Sucking her tongue into his mouth. Pulling her lips between his teeth for tantalizing bites.
Cam walked them backward with slow, measured steps until he eased onto the bench, never leaving space between their mouths. He pulled her bare legs to either side of his hips, pressing against her back until her breasts were crushed against his chest. He lowered his head, nudging the straps of her camisole aside with his lips and sucking on her naked shoulder. Jo moaned, tipping her head back until her hair rained between her shoulder blades. Cam pushed the camisole down around her waist and pulled her breast into his greedy mouth. With every pull of his lips and tongue, she rolled her hips against him, a steady, sensual syncopation that shoved Jo over the edge. She took shelter against his chest, gripping his neck, huffing hot air into the collar of his shirt. Her thighs tightened around his hips, and her body released in shivers and whimpers and shudders.
She stilled little by little, falling against him, limp and pliant. Cam pushed her hair behind her shoulders, raining kisses over her collarbones and nipples until they peaked and begged for his mouth again. He suckled at her, sliding his hands inside her shorts, squeezing her butt and urging her against him.
“Cam, I just—”
“I know.” He looked up, anointing her nipples with his words. “It was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. I want it again and again and again.”


Review


I absolutely adore this agnsty, emotional series.  I literally devoured all three books in two days; thank goodness I was fortunate enough to have all three books in my possession! I have to mention that I love that the author doesn’t sugar coat these characters lives, she makes them seem like real people…their ethnicity, their past history...it’s not all roses and sunshine; they are human, they make mistakes…and that’s one of the things that drew me into this series.  4.5 stars.

 
Awww…poor Cameron Mitchell, a miserable childhood and a failed marriage has left him shattered.  The past two books briefly touches Cam’s past but when we finally get to experience his pain, it is simply so raw and heartbreaking.  The one constant Cam has is Jo, one of his best friends since childhood….is it possible that after countless women, that Jo was the woman for him all along?

I’d never been accepted just for me. Love just for me. Not even by my own mother, Jo. You can’t understand what that is like.”


A definite recommendation from me if you love books that are emotional and make you feel.  The writing was perfect, the characters likeable, and the story kept me intrigued until the very last page.  Be Mine Forever was a perfect wrap-up to this series!
