Excerpt
“You take such good care of me, Maisie.” He glanced up into her eyes, finding them soft and warm. “I’ve never thanked you for that. Told you how much I appreciate everything you've done for me.”
Her chest rose and fell with her heavy breaths. “You don’t need to thank me.”
“No?” He stroked his thumb over the back of her hand, heat flooding him at the way her lips fell open, begging for his kiss. “You never expect anything back, do you? No matter how much of yourself you give.”
Her parted lips shut and opened again with her shudder as he kept stroking his thumb across her skin. Under her fierce stare, he allowed the desire he felt for her to flood him, to finally show her right where his head was at. “I didn’t like seeing that guy put his hands on you. I wanted to hurt him.”
Her gaze held his intimately. “I’d say you achieved that.”
He looked down at their held hands, watched his thumb slide back and forth over her creamy skin. “I don’t think I’d like to see any man put his hands on you.”
“Okay…” she said softly, obviously trying to understand where he was going with this.
He closed his fingers in hers and looked up. “We never asked for this, you and me. Never expected any of this.”
“No, we didn’t,” she agreed softly.
Wanting her to feel something good in a world that had made them both feel pain, he cupped her face. She leaned into his touch, her hair falling on the side of her face, her teeth nibbling on her bottom lip. “I’m tired of not acting on the way you look me.”
“How do I look at you?” she rasped.
“Like you want me to kiss you.”
Her breath hitched, the only response he needed.
He wasn’t wondering if this was a mistake, he was only thinking that he couldn’t run from this anymore. Tonight, he’d seen enough. He didn’t want another man anywhere near her. That was the one truth in front of him. He couldn’t look away anymore. “I’m tired of fighting this, and I suspect you are too.”
She didn’t ask what he meant; she simply licked her lips, readying them for him.
He stroked her soft skin. “Fighting what’s been brewing here for months.” He caught the heated surprise in her eyes, but every guard was down. They weren’t just friends, but something more. Something that was hungry and urgent, that demanded to be fed. He fought back a moan, his cock hardening to steel as he slid a hand across her hip, pulling her in between his legs, needing her closer. “Only question is whether it’s time to act on it or not.”
He expected a response. But the one she gave surprised him. She cupped his face and brought her lips to his.
Review
★★★★☆
This was my first book by Stacey Kennedy and it certainly won’t be my last. Sassy Blonde takes place in beautiful River Rock, Colorado. I was immediately drawn to the town. Beautiful descriptive scenery that made me want to go visit myself. Maisie is one of three sisters whom are trying to live out their Grandfather’s wish with Three Chicks Brewery. Maisie hasn’t always been passionate about the brewery. She has been passionate about art and has always been a free spirted person. Her love of art has taken a back burner since the death of her best friend Laurel. I loved Maisie. She is caring and passionate. She has a beautiful selfless heart and has been helping Hayes get through the terrible loss of his wife, Laurel. Hayes is suffering. He is hugely burdened with his late wife’s death and doesn’t know how to forgive himself. I didn’t expect the heavy emotion within this story. It took me by surprise in a good way. The connection between Hayes and Maisie has always been there. They are both struggling with what Laurel would think of them together. The chemistry between them in undeniable. Stacey Kennedy has written an incredibly emotional, raw and real love story and set up the framework for Maisie’s sisters stories perfectly. I cannot wait to read Clara & Sullivan’s story next in Feisty Red.
