My Thoughts
Raine really thought he cared about her. She couldn't have been more wrong. She discovers that he played her and he humiliates her in public over and over. I wanted to take that boy behind the shed and teach him a few things. Fortunately he has a brother that steps up for Raine when is counts. Yes he does stumble once, but when he picks himself up and makes it all better by loving her like she deserves and taking care of her when everyone else has walked away. I so loved Jarret. he was so good to her even when he didn't know the truth. Raine rocked. She is so strong and brave and just lovely.
This is one of my favorite reads this year. I can't review this well enough to do it justice. Just hear me when I say that it's so worth the read. You'll fall hard for Raine and Jarret's story. It's sweet and sexy and tugged at my heart in every way.
I give Raine 5 hearts!

About the Book
Shy.
Intelligent.
Naive.
Statistic.
Raine Forester was an average girl leading an average life. She slipped beneath everyone's radar, until Camron Moss, the most popular guy in school, took interest in her and changed everything.
Some acts are unforgivable.
Raine thought she'd been accepted. She thought she was one of them. She thought she was in love... until one moment made her realize she'd trusted the wrong person. Lies are told, hearts get broken, secrets are revealed, and sometimes, true love is found in the least likely places.
Raine was living the dream. A carefully manufactured
dream where Jarret was her man, they were a family, and most importantly, they
were happy.
And they were happy.
Even steel wool wouldn’t be strong enough to scrub the
smile from her face. It felt permanently etched there, and it was a wonderful
feeling.
Splaying his hands over her stomach, Jarret quietly sang
the song in her ear, his hot breath whispering across her flesh. The lyrics
made her flush, but not from embarrassment. The naughty, forbidden, intimate
words said from one lover to another made Jarret’s desires painfully clear. He
wanted her, was telling her what he wanted to do with her, to her… and she
wasn’t saying no.
Her body was responding to his words, every cell lighting
on fire with a craving for him, and him alone. She shouldn’t want him the way
she did. Not after Camron. Not just because of whom he was to Jarret, but also
because of what he had done to her. He’d tarnished her—body, mind, and soul—and
she’d never thought she’d be able to put that kind of trust in another man
again. Especially not so soon.
But Jarret was different. He was unexpected. She thought
she’d put up boundaries, fortifying them with hated memories, but her walls
were no match for someone like him. Jarret was the exception to the rule…
…and she was perilously close to falling for him.
Nuzzling her cheek against his, Raine closed her eyes and
inhaled the clean scent of Jarret’s aftershave mixed with the bitter smell of
beer on his breath. She’d never thought she’d think the smell of beer was sexy,
but Jarret could make anything sexy, and it made her want to tear his clothes
off and do bad things to him.
Yep, this pregnancy thing was seriously jacking with her
hormones. Down, girl.
“You’re so sexy, Raine. So round and beautiful.”
Round? Raine was
sure there was a compliment in there somewhere. The edges of her dress brushed
the backs of her stocking-covered knees as they swayed and Raine listened
closely to his words.
“If you’d let me, I’d take you right here, right now.”
Eyes snapping open, Raine glanced around. Here, in the middle of a trendy
sports bar slash restaurant? “The
floors are covered in peanut shells.”
“Then we’d do it on a table. They’re sturdy,” he said,
turning his face toward hers and skimming his lips up her jawline.
A shiver tracked through her. She shouldn’t like the
sound of that, being taken on a tabletop, so rough and crude and dirty, but she
did. It was far too easy to picture it, and that’s why she had to make him see
reason. “There are people everywhere,” she argued. “They’d see everything.”
“Let them watch. Let them see how to take care of a
woman. How she moans like she’s going to die when her man knows how to play her
body like an instrument.”
Oh, God. Clenching
her thighs together, Raine had no doubt that Jarret could make good on his
promises. Something told her that he knew his way around a woman very well, and
she longed to be under his expert thumb, to experience sex the way it was meant
to be experienced.
“You’re drunk,” she said, a low moan escaping her as
Jarret ran his tongue up the side of her throat. Unbidden, her head lolled to
the side, allowing him fuller access.
Chuckling, Jarret kissed the sensitive flesh just below
her nape, stroking it with the tip of his tongue. “Come home with me, Peach.
Let me taste how sweet you are.”
She lives in the Northwest with her husband, their wild children, and far too many pets. As a university student, she studies literature, which goes well with her dream of becoming an editor. Brandi entertains a number of hobbies including reading and photography, but her first love is writing fiction-in all its forms.
