Second chances really do exist…
As the founder of a multimillion-dollar international
security business, Carson Bad exposes secrets for a living. He knows better
than to forge relationships built on them. But for years he did just that with
his best friend, and secret lover, Tawny Bishop. She brought a sense of calm
and understanding to his life–in and out of the bedroom. Until one fateful
night when a knock at the door changed everything.
Tawny is no longer a naive college student. She’s a
sought-after perfumer living in Paris. She has plenty of resources at her
fingertips, and lots of lonely nights to think about the only man she’s ever
loved–the one she ran away from all those years ago. She needs to move forward
with her life, but how can she when Carson still owns her heart?
Maybe showing up in the middle of the night unannounced
isn’t the best route to unraveling the past and figuring out her future, but
Tawny has played it safe for ten long years, and it’s only made her long for
the man she never should have walked away from. Now she’s back in Carson’s
life, and he’s determined not to make the same mistake twice. If only he knew
what that mistake was…
My thoughts:
Carson is the third book featuring the Bad brothers.
This is Carson's story. Out of all the brothers, he is the
quietest and most private. He has held a flame for his best friend
from college, but they have not been in touch in 10 years. Now Tawny is back
looking to make her biggest regret a thing of the past.
While not my favorite of the three books, I still really
enjoyed it. It was kind of refreshing to not have a lot of angst in
this story. For Tawny and Carson, it was like they hadn't spent 10 years apart. Their feelings for each other were very strong. I really did buy into their love story. Theirs was a clear case of not communicating so I was rooting for them to work things out! The only thing that got a bit tiresome was Tawny's anxiety over what they did in the bedroom. Like it was such a taboo thing. Compared to what goes on in most BDSM relationships, they were a pretty vanilla couple. I did love how the other women in the "tribe" as they call it latched right onto Tawny and brought her into the fold. I also loved the epilogue...it was very sweet!
If you haven't had a chance to read this book or the others in the series, I highly recommend them!
Enjoy this excerpt:
It was his kiss, his touch, and the promise of so much more
in his rich cocoa eyes that had taunted Tawny Bishop in the wee hours of the
night for the past decade and had finally driven her from Paris to New York
City on this cold November night. Memories of her once best friend’s demanding
hands running over her heated flesh, enticing her into giving him anything he
wanted, brought a rush of adrenaline, and her nerves flamed to life. A
cacophony of wind and rain created a dark serenade to her seductive and
nerve-racking thoughts as the cab weaved through traffic toward the Ultimate
Hotel, where his family was hosting a fundraiser.
Carson Bad.
Even his name sounded stable and strong. She felt a smile tugging at her lips. You were bad, all right. His friendship and his deep, confident voice had once been the salve to all of her worries, righting everything that had felt wrong during her college years. God, she missed him. One sinful Sunday night his voice had done more than soothe. It had slithered beneath her skin, fueling her desires, and he’d introduced her to his darker, sensual side.
