The First Night gets 5 Hearts
"Well written, first story to a new series.
I liked Gannon's strong alpha male type,
with a few issues to work out from his past."
~ Romance Book Scene
Gannon stood at the doorway of the bar and watched her drive
away, everything he’d wanted for the last nine years. He wondered for the
thousandth time why he hadn’t been able to bring himself to call her. He shook
his head. It didn’t matter now. She’d said it. Two minutes ago, she’d said I don’t need this.
“It’s pretty obvious,” a woman’s voice said from behind him.
Gannon turned around. Sharon. She reached past him and flicked the butt of a
cigarette out of the open door.
“What’s obvious?” Gannon stepped outside and propped against
the wall. Sharon followed.
“How you feel about her. I saw the way you looked at her on
Friday when she walked up to the bar. At first I thought it was pure lust. I’ve
heard the wild college stories about you from my brother.”
Gannon opened his mouth to defend himself, but Sharon held
up a hand to stop him. He clamped his jaw shut and stared at a flickering
streetlight that was threatening to go out. He wanted nothing more in that
moment than to escape up the stairs to his apartment and close himself in,
hoping everything about Kayla would fade away.
