“sharp, sensitive” and “pretty wonderful” by the New York Times book review.
He was looking for redemption. Instead, he found her.
After a rocky start, former Navy SEAL-turned-astronaut Ryan
“Ty” Tyler and nerdy flight psychologist Gray Barrett found they worked well
together. Ty managed to tame his playboy reputation, and cautious Gray got her
first taste of adventure. They had a good thing going. Until a good thing
turned into a smoking hot thing...and that turned into a
falling-in-love thing.
Now Ty’s facing an impossible choice. Shake the demons of
his past, or give up a future with the only woman he could ever love.

Excerpt
Suddenly, I
felt a cold sensation on my upper shoulder, just below my neck. I turned, and
Ryan was right behind me. “What was that?”
“I think I
accidentally spilled frosting on you. Here.” He traced a path along the top of
my shoulder toward my neck, and I involuntarily shivered. In response, his
other hand came up and cupped my other shoulder and his head dipped down to
land right where he’d put the frosting.
Right
there. In that spot. He was licking
and sucking, getting every last bit as his hands traveled down my arms, clamping
around my elbows to hold me still.
“Accidentally,
huh?” I rasped, my voice sounding alien to my own ears. Likely it was my
aroused voice. And likely he knew exactly what it meant when I talked this way.
He was an
expert at turning me on and doing it quickly. Zero to Mach 5 in seconds flat.
Probably easier than flying his training jet. My panties were already wet, and
my nipples were painfully hard and probably very visible under my thin tank
top.
I cleared
my throat. “I, uh.” And cleared my throat again. “Have another batch to do.”
Without a
word he reached out and turned off the oven. “Let’s hit pause on that little project for now,” he said in that low,
gravelly voice of his. His aroused
voice. I knew that voice, too, and it usually seemed in perfect sync with the
tight squeezing sensation in my belly and lower that screamed for his hands and
mouth—and other parts—to ease the tension and bring release.
“You are a
wicked, wicked man.”
“This I
already know,” he said between more kisses on the back of my neck that sent
electric shocks down my spine and wound that tension deep inside me even
tighter.
I spun in
his arms, and though I could barely reach it, I managed to scoop up my own
dollop of frosting from the edge of the metal mixing bowl. He watched me then
raised his brow to ask the unspoken question—where are you going to put that?
My answer?
I grabbed the hem of his t-shirt and rucked it up, holding it just below his
collar, then liberally spread the frosting across his upper abs. Double yum.
He sucked
in a quick breath, and that was enough to get me diving right in. “Mmm. What
kind of mess do we have here? Better start cleaning up.”
The
frosting was sweet, creamy. Delectable, really. Buttercream was delicious.
Buttercream slathered across Ryan’s rock-hard abs? Perfection.
Review
I really enjoyed watching the differences in Ryan and Gray - they both have their strengths and their fears. I really did feel like even when I was highly annoyed with Ryan I understood a little where he was coming from even if he was wrong.
Brenna Aubrey did an amazing job of making me feel this story from all angles. The space aspect, the romance, the torn feelings and everything in between.
