I am so in love with this story and I am so in love with this couple so yet again, I give you a small taster -- whoops, teaser -- from A Summer to Remember, part of the new Seasons of Love & Lust series!
Excerpt
How could I not fall
deeper in love with him than I was already and yet, he still wouldn’t make love
to me or touch me for some strange reason. I wanted to share my body with him,
not because I was horny but I needed to feel him and have him inside of me,
with me, knowing he truly felt the same way about me as I felt about him.
“I could make up all
kinds of shit right now and tell you Ashley lied or she’s not telling the truth
but both you and I know that isn’t so. I didn’t tell you and neither did Jude…not
because we were ashamed or wanted you to be humiliated the way she did to you
but he’s known for years how I have felt about you and as far as I was
concerned, it was a closed subject.”
Paul made me face him
and he cupped my face gently with his hands as he said, “Jerrica, you have always been the
woman for me and I told your brother a long time ago I would be willing to lose
our friendship behind being with you. Seriously, I have been in
love with you from the moment you ran down the stairs with your brown hair in
those silly little pigtails and those eyes…God, I remember your eyes. They were
so full of light and joy.
“I would do anything to
see that again inside you. I want to see you happy and peaceful. I hate that
hardness that has etched itself into those gorgeous blue-gray eyes of yours
because it simply isn’t you. You’re not that jaded and you aren’t a whore. You
slept around, so what, do you think I care about that? I’m not perfect and God
knows I don’t expect you to be. Please, just give me a chance to prove how much
I love you and we can make all of this go away.”
My lips were mere
inches from his and I leaned in closer until they touched with his and he
kissed me gently at first. He didn’t want to hurt me and I completely
understood. When my mouth opened and allowed his tongue entry, our kiss turned
passionate and gut-wrenching. Every sexual part of me ached with the need to be
touched and caressed by him.
He had brought me back
to life with a kiss and I couldn’t help but think of the beauty in that
sentiment. He’d saved me yet he didn’t even know it and I loved him all the
more for just being there for me. He was the one and tonight, I would prove we
were meant to be together forever.
To Be Continued....
Can't you feel the love in the air? This is one of those love stories I hope people say they laughed, cried and cheered to happen because it is so beautiful when two people really connect with one another!
Until next time, please check the other blogs on the Hop and feel free to comment! You have some great authors here and I am happy to share my work with you as they are. Thanks and have a wonderful Sunday!

Aww. This is do sweet! I'm sure Jude will forgive him.
It is a sweet scene, makes me want them to figure it out, to be together.
Great scene, Elle!
Awwww :) this was such a sweet scene, it brought a big smile to my face. Can't wait for this book!
Glad you all liked this week's teaser. It is going to get better...and I am halfway done so I am extremely excited about this book! I will be adding it to Goodreads this week so people can put it on their TBR list. ;-)
