I know that Lauren Blakely can write hot and steamy but this was HOT AND STEAMY!! And, of course, I've got another embarrassing Sassy audio moment. Anyone out there who knows how to avoid your Bluetooth cutting out...please, PLEASE let me know. Yep, you guessed it, my fellow passengers now know I'm a smut reader/listener. I was on the train happily listening to Sebastian York whisper sweet (and not so sweet) things in my ear, when the Bluetooth fritzed and what I was listening to BLASTED out of my phone. I could not awaken my phone fast enough to pause it AND IT HAD TO BE A NAUGHTY PART. I swear my heart just about jumped out of my chest and my face was as red as a tomato.
Seriously, maybe I should just give up on audio. Pfft...where's the fun in that? It's an adrenaline high, I tell you. I now stand poised waiting for audio havoc to happen. I've become Sassy, Audio Ninja. Even a stutter in the connection will have me diving into action juggling my phone like it's a hot potato trying to look like I'm just chillin and checkin my feed. I have never listened to an audio so seriously, or, I imagine, with a look of such intense concentration.
Mind you, Sebastian York does not help me in this one. His voice, in all its sexy deep goodness, made every word out of his mouth sound like sin. I swear he could be reciting the alphabet and people would still think I was listening to a sex tape. Bloody Sebastian York you're ruining my reputation as a mild-mannered passenger off to do good in my world.
OK, sorry, about the book. It was good. I just felt like the actions of the characters weren't really indicative of their age. I think they were both in their 30's and the amount of "shenanigans" they got up to in public, just seemed a little excessive. Maybe I'm wrong, but I hardly even see 30+ ladies and gentlemen snogging let alone getting hot and heavy. But, I suppose, it's a story, and maybe people dream of having their back scraped against a brick wall while they "do the deed".
The main characters Jack and Michelle, have "issues" from their past and fight the love bug as long as they can. Lots of self-reflection to get to the heart of the matter, but eventually, love conquers all.
Nights with Him is pretty much in the middle of the Seductive Nights series. I can't say that I have a deep desire to go back, but I am tempted to go forward. Cassie, Jack's sister, was a great character and I really wouldn't mind seeing her get to her happy ever after.
