INSATIABLE
Author: Cari Quinn
Blurb:
Shawn Griffin and Rachel Cooper have been best friends practically since birth, thanks to their families close relationship. But for the past few years, Shawn has been fantasizing about getting his best pal in his bed. When she announces she's taking a trip to reconnect with an old lover, Shawn knows the time has come to put up or shut up. If she wants to go to New York City, fine. But he's coming with her.
Rachel doesn't know what to think of Shawn's sudden interest. Determined to live life on her own terms, she refuses to fall right in line with her wealthy family's wish that they get married and have perfect little babies. She just didn't count on how determined her seemingly laid back and extremely sexy best friend would become after setting his sights on what he wants.
Her, over and over again.
But when tragedy strikes, Rachel begins to wonder if she'll lose not only her lover but her best friend too.

Excerpt:
You planning on sitting here brooding all night? Rachel grabbed the seat beside him, then the drink out of his hand. He'd saved her his olive, which she snagged off the tiny sword with a slick lip roll that made him shift uncomfortably in his Armani suit. Not that it doesn't work.
What works? Shawn motioned to a passing waiter. Almost immediately, another martini was in his hand and Rachel was again after his olive.
If only...
The whole broody male thing. That dangerous, leave-me-alone aura paired with a dark gray suit that fits like a wet dream. She laughed.
d at his swift glance in her direction. No wonder none of the women dare approach you.
He took back his martini. Damned if she didn't set his cock twitching with every flirtatious swish of her tongue over her mouth. You did.
You don't scare me. Leaning in, Rachel tangled her nails in his blond hair and tugged. I've seen you naked, remember?
That was thirteen years ago. He edged back, hoping to avoid picking up her scent on his clothes. She always smelled of coconuts and sun-warmed tanning lotion, an irresistible
combination to a man who'd grown up with the Pacific practically in his backyard. And I'll remind you, you interrupted me in the middle of a cold shower.
She flipped his toothpick between her fingers. Uh-huh. Next, you'll tell me you weren't through puberty yet.
Shawn was about to toss back his answer -- and yeah, she'd hit the nail on the head -- when a sickening thought caused his already knotted stomach to plummet. Was that why Rachel refused to consider him as anything but buddy material? Of all the possibilities he'd entertained, her thinking he had a small penis hadn't been on the list.
For one stony moment, he contemplated his drink. Then he slanted her a slow, measuring look. Anytime you want to see what's under the hood, Rach, just let me know.

Good grief woman, what's with the spam? I've been getting it too, my filter reads like War and Peace with all of my banned IPs and filtered words. :D
ReplyDeleteAaaanyway. I love Cari Quinn! I've spent so much money buying things from Ellora's Cave from her it's ridiculous. That's a terrific excerpt, very smoldering.
I am adding this to my wish list. INSATIABLE sounds like a great read.
