Series: Hand Over My Heart Duet Book Two
Author: Lindsey Iler
Genre: New Adult Romance
Release Date: November 4, 2019
I’m unapologetically in love with Nick Kovac.
He can claim to hate me and blame me for everything.
I’ll fight for us both.
He severs the promise he made, leaving me on the hockey rink floor, heartbroken and alone.
It doesn’t take me long to stand with my head held high, while he's being a coward. Stuck between push and pull, everything we are is in question.
Sometimes the answers are in the stars. Others, it’s where the sun shines that our lives change.
“Can I help you?” Nick says, a sly, devilish grin spread across his face.
“You tell me. You’re the one gawking at me from across the pool.” I bite my lip.
He leans forward, brushing my wet hair behind my ear like he’s done a thousand times before. “I wouldn’t exactly call it gawking.”
“What would you call it then?” I take a step back, giving us distance we clearly need. Together we are like a ticking time bomb. If you get too close, you’ll get caught in the explosion.
“Appreciating.” He stalks forward, forcing me to continue backwards until my head bumps the tiled wall. “Hate and love go hand in hand.”
“You don’t hate me.” I straighten my back, inconveniently pressing my chest right into his. He sucks in a deep hiss, allowing his eyes to roam the tiny gap between our bodies. “If I were to guess, Nick, it’s quite the opposite.” I grab the drawstring on his swim trunks. With one tight tug, there’s no space between us.
“Attraction has nothing, and I mean nothing, to do with our downfall.” He bites his plump, bottom lip the moment my finger skims over the sexy V dipping into his shorts. Like a well-oiled machine, when he moves, I shift to accompany him. With his hand on my hip, he grinds into me. “If I could get past the truth, I’d move that bathing suit to the side and bury myself so deep inside you, you’d forget your own damn name, Hannah.”
My lips open. Words flow through my brain, right to the tip of my tongue, but only muffled sounds come out when I try to speak.
“You can play your little games with me. Flaunt your perfect body all over the damn place. Flirt with Williamson, all you want, Hannah. But one thing will always remain the same. While I want you so damn bad, I get to live knowing you want me even more.”
Review:
When reading a book and you come to a cliffhanger, the feeling can be devastating. But we knew that we just needed to give Lindsey time to get all her thoughts written down. To allow Hannah and Nick to speak to her. When you receive the 2nd half of such an intense story, you know that it will be a wild ride but you are always waiting for everything to be wrapped up nice and neat. There is nothing nice and neat about this story. These are two hormone driven, angry, and still grieving teenagers. I honestly don't know how Hannah coped. I don't know how she held her head high, because I would have been asking to transfer. I would have been asking to forget all about that guy who made my heart beat so hard and fast. Hannah never let Nick down. She was always at his back, watching and waiting for him to need her. And need her he did. Nick is absolutely broken and finally grieving properly in this book. His emotions are ten fold and he has a lot of sorting to do. There were so many times, my mouth just dropped open at the events and thoughts happening between these two. They never lost all their faith in each other though. They both knew what they knew at such a young age, the age of innocence. They knew that they worked and they just needed to clear all the fog.
