Robert: My life has been a rollercoaster ride, consisting of both wonderful and horrifying moments. I was a child when Nico found me, resulting in my adoption by a woman who raised me alongside the Mayson children. They became my best friends and life was good until tragedy struck and I ran off to join the military. When I came home, everyone welcomed me with open arms. I was at an all-time low, drowning in my dark thoughts, unsure how to go on, until love saved me.

Rose: Being on the run with a small child hasn’t been easy. I thought weโ€™d finally discovered our safe haven in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. A relationship was the last thing on my mind, then I met Robert Kent, a wounded hero inside and out. While I tried to resist him, doing so was impossible, as if something greater than ourselves wanted us together. Our respective pasts made us kindred souls. When mine comes for me, I pray we’re strong enough to survive it.

โ€œI could gush about this book all day long!! Their story gives me all the heart eyes and definitely ends with a HEA!โ€

“Maci is going to take you on an incredible journey you won’t soon forget in this spicy, captivating tale.”

 

โ€œIโ€™m heading out early. Do you need anything from me before I leave?โ€
Kelli shakes her head. โ€œNo, everything is under control. Are you still taking the full weekend off?โ€
Sheโ€™s the only one who knows my weekend plans do not include a conference of any kind.
โ€œYes, I doubt Iโ€™ll be contactable, so Iโ€™m leaving my lifeโ€™s work in your capable hands.โ€
โ€œI still donโ€™t understand why you didnโ€™t suggest going away next weekend instead. You couldโ€™ve stayed the week up until Christmas as weโ€™ll be closed anyway.โ€
โ€œTrust me, two nights is more than enough for what we have planned.โ€
โ€œDirty whore,โ€ she jokes, and I shrug happily, owning the compliment as it was intended.
More than two nights in a romantic city with Gabe is too much to comprehend for this happily single, almost forty-year-old.
Three hours later, Gabe and I are on his private Jet, bound for Paris. He flew direct from New York to collect me for a secret, dirty weekend in my favorite city in the world. In less than an hour, weโ€™ll arrive and settle into our hotel.
And if I have anything to say about it, we wonโ€™t leave our room until weโ€™re required to check out and dive back into reality.
โ€œI notice you packed on the lighter sideโ€ฆ are you planning on staying in all weekend?โ€ A cheeky grin spreads across his face.
Laughing, I raise my glass of champagne to his in a toast. โ€œI believe thatโ€™s the plan, yes.โ€
Gabe chuckles knowingly, rubbing his hand up the length of my thigh, teasing me with his light touch.
As weโ€™re both familiar with Paris, we have no plans to do any sightseeing. Apart from meals, we have no desire to leave the room. In case we get carried away, Gabe booked a suite in a hotel with the best-rated twenty-four-hour room service.
My luggage exists of three outfits and, dare I say, only two pairs of shoes and an assortment of sexy lingerie. My intentions are clear based on what Iโ€™ve packed.
โ€œDoes it turn you on, sneaking around like this?โ€ He leans forward, his hand snaking beneath my skirt, his finger teasing the wet fabric of my panties.
โ€œWeโ€™re not sneaking around.โ€
โ€œNo? Where did you tell your friends you were going this weekend?โ€
Unable to resist, I lean toward him as his lips kiss their way up my neck until goosebumps break out over my skin. With a firm hand, he pushes my legs open, and glances up at me, waiting for an answer.
โ€œTo Paris for a training seminar.โ€
Gabe laughs, his eyes never leaving mine. He drags me forward, my pussy on the edge of the seat, and kneels on the floor. As he pulls my panties to the side, he dives between my thighs, and closes his lips around my clit. Good God, this man and his magic tongue. In seconds, Iโ€™m writhing over his mouth, grinding my wet pussy against his face, about to experience my first mile-high orgasm.
โ€œYes, Gabeโ€ฆโ€ I whisper, wrapping my legs over his shoulders. โ€œSo fucking good,โ€ I moan, on the cusp of no return.
My body shudders as he holds my hips tightly in place, pressed against him as he nips and sucks, swirling his tongue over my clit as if heโ€™s starving for the last taste of perfection.
My fingers rake through his hair, clutching his thick strands as I lose all control and give in to the pleasure only Gabe can offer.
Tenderly, he licks every last drop of arousal from me, moaning as he keeps me pinned in place, his fingertips digging into my buttocks.
Iโ€™m his to devour.
His to cherish.
With dark eyes, hooded and drunk with lust, he pushes back on the balls of his feet and stands above me. My mouth, level with his groin, waters at the sight of the bulge in his jeans. Slowly, he unbuckles his belt, pops the button, and lowers the zipper. Reaching out, I tug at the denim and his boxers, pulling them down his hips until heโ€™s fully revealed to me.
Desperate to taste his arousal, I lick my lips. A bead of pre-cum pools on the head of his cock, begging to be licked. I take his length in my hand, teasing him with slow, purposeful strokes until he pushes my hand away and pulls me abruptly from my seat.
He spins me around so my back is facing him, my arms resting over the top of the seat. Hitching my skirt up around my waist, he shuffles my hips back toward the edge and pulls my thong down. Teasing my entrance with his cock, he asks, โ€œHow do you feel about an audience?โ€

A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS by Jennifer Snow is out now! Check out this gorgeous holiday romance and grab your copy today!

Title: A Lot Like Christmas

Author: Jennifer Snow

Genre: Holiday Romance

About A Lot Like Christmas:

For Jessica Connolly, there is no better place than her coastal hometown of Blue Moon Bay. She has a wonderful family, supportive best friends, and a successful bakery on Main Street. Unfortunately, every time she designs one of her ex-boyfriends’ wedding cakes, she’s reminded just how unlucky she is with love…and that she’s a good luck charm for men to find their happily ever after. With someone else. The minute they break up. So she’s decided to be done with love.

 

Dr. Mitch Jameson is more comfortable traveling the world with Doctors Without Borders than staying in one place. He just needs to survive the holidays in his small hometown before he can leave again. The beautiful, intriguing bakery owner with an aversion to dating might be just who he needs to occupy his restless heart.

 

From sipping hot chocolates at the local festival of lights to early morning dessert deliveries, Jessica and Mitch rediscover the spirit of the holidays. But when the 25 days of Christmas are over, will their romance be over, too?

Exclusive Excerpt:

He shot a quick glance toward her in the passenger seat of his rental. Sheโ€™d licked her dark mauve colored lipstick from her lips during dinner and she hadnโ€™t reapplied it. Did that mean sheโ€™d be open to a good night kiss? Heโ€™d read in a Cosmo magazine left behind on a flight once that the lack of reapplying lipstick was a signโ€ฆ

Jeez, now he was getting his relationship advice from a magazine he had no business reading.

She looked at him, and he quickly turned his attention back to the road. โ€œIโ€™m just the next left,โ€ she said, as he came to a stop sign. The speed limit in the neighborhood was thirty, but he couldnโ€™t be going faster than ten. He was reluctant to see the night end, but inviting her back to the Inn for a drink had seemed too sleazyโ€ฆbut would she invite him into her place?

It had been far too long since heโ€™d been on a real first date, and it was quickly becoming evident that he had no idea what the dating etiquette was these days in the era of apps and hookups. Sheโ€™d been quiet on the drive back to her place, so it was hard to read her.

He turned onto her street and cleared his throat. โ€œSo, on a scale of one to ten, how would you rate tonightโ€™s date?โ€

She grinned as she turned in the seat to face him. โ€œLike if I was leaving a Yelp review?โ€

โ€œYes. Yelp review me.โ€ He could take it. Hopefully, she wouldnโ€™t dock him for his use of the word โ€œcornyโ€ or his unimaginative date suggestion.

She looked as though she were thinking for a long moment. โ€œUmโ€ฆIโ€™d say it was a solid eight.โ€

โ€œEight.โ€ He nodded slowly. Not bad. Not a ten. โ€œWhat could have I done for a better score?โ€

Jessicaโ€™s cheeks flushed slightly as she stared at their joined hands between the seats. โ€œI docked you two points because you are a limited-time offer.โ€

He swallowed hard. So, she was looking for something a little more serious in a guy. Normally that response would have him doing the logical, responsible thingโ€”breaking it off before the woman got too invested or got her feelings hurt. So far, heโ€™d been honest and clear in his intentions. Saying goodnight and thanking her for a fun evening was the way to play this.

But he really wanted to see her again. More than heโ€™d wanted a second date with a woman in a long time. He didnโ€™t want to see her get hurt, of course, but maybe they could take things casually and see what happened.

All he knew was heโ€™d been dreading this time in his hometown. Dreading the downtime, the holidays with his family, being in one place for too longโ€ฆbut Jessica was already helping him cope.

The door to the cabin opens, and Amelie steps out with her caramel-colored hair in a ponytail and dressed in a tank top and yoga pants. Itโ€™s fifteen degrees outside, but the cold doesnโ€™t bother us. The smell of snow approaches, and I can tell itโ€™s going to come down hard within the hour. Looking up at the sky, itโ€™s dark, and the clouds are thick.

Amelie plugs in the Christmas lights on her porch and looks up at them when she gets into the yard. Iโ€™ve never seen someone so fascinated with the holidays. But sheโ€™d be appalled if she could see my house at Christmas time. Iโ€™ve never cared about decorating or celebrating, at least not in the last thirty years after losing Alina. Something tells me I might have to change that. If this is going to work between us, Iโ€™ll have no choice but to see things differently. The only problem is that I have no idea how to do that.

Amelie runs through the woods in human form, and I follow behind her, making sure to keep my presence hidden. Iโ€™m not ready for her to know Iโ€™m there yet. The lake is a few miles into the woods, and her movements are smooth and concise as she swerves in and out of the trees. The only other people Iโ€™ve seen move like that are my brothers. She had to have learned it from Micah. Iโ€™ve envied him for being so close to her. Itโ€™s even made me a little jealous, but I know heโ€™s never tried anything with her. When he comes back to town, things might be a little different. Iโ€™m hoping Amelie will let me train her instead of him.

The lake comes into view, and I slow my pace. Amelie stops by the water and blows out a breath, watching the steam billow into the wind. She raises her arms in the air and stretches, exposing her bare stomach as her shirt lifts up. The need in me rises, and I close my eyes. All I can think about is taking her in my arms and making her mine.

โ€œFuck,โ€ I hiss under my breath. My cock hardens at the thought of her naked and spread out beneath me. Stepping behind the tree, I lean against it to regain my composure. Iโ€™m always in control, but around Amelie, Iโ€™ve lost all sense of it. Taking a deep breath, I let it out slow until everything goes back to normal. When it does, I unleash my power so Amelie can sense me.
