Whispers of my Skin By Susana Mohel
Synopsis...
Desperate times call for desperate measures.
That’s what they say, right?
Well, I guess it must be true because I’m desperate.
And I’m about to take desperate measures.
That’s why I’m standing at his door, preparing to face him.
Even though we are no longer what we used to be. Even though he doesn’t love me
as he once did.
The girl he loved is no more, she vanished.
So did he.
Both gone with the wind, left behind in the mists of time.
We grew up, moved on.
But just when it seems there’s nothing left between us,
there comes a second chance.
A whisper that grows, won’t be ignored, can’t be ignored as
it ensnares us, entwines us.
Whispers of love.
Whispers of my skin.
My thoughts
So let me just start off by saying that usually I go for
books where the hero and heroine have not met before so that we can see their
relationship develop , in other words, I am very picky with my second chance
romance novels. However the blurb for Whispers of my skin definitely intrigued
me and being a reader who is obsessed with with ranches and cowboys I
had to read this one!
The story starts with the introduction of a very
apprehensive Tara, who is just about to meet Joel, a former lover. It is clear that feelings are still alive. She is desperate to
find a manager for her ranch in order to put it back onto its feet and that’s
where Joel comes in. However, Joel is already a manager in a successful ranch
and has no reason to leave – that is until Tara gives him an offer he just
cannot refuse and Tara ends up getting more than she bargained for…
Joel is your broody, protective hero that us readers all go
crazy for, with his calm and cool nature – he definitely has that hot ranch boy
vibe. It is obvious from his proposition to Tara, no matter how angry , pissed off and confused he gets- one thing he knows for sure is he is not willing to let her go for a second time.
Tara is your strong – headed heroine however, she is insecure and
emotional when it comes to her feelings for Joel like any other women would about someone they love. No matter how much she tries to deny attraction, thinking she got Joel all figured out she still knows that her
heart has always belonged to him.
“ …he throws me down.
Then he kisses me, devouring me.
He’s staking his claim. Taking what is his.
And I let him. Because Joel does own me. I'm drowning in
him.”
What I would say is, I would have loved to see a bit more
jealousy coming from Joel’s side – and Tara making Joel work for it just a tinsy - tiny bit more... I feel like it ended too soon ! but that’s just
me. However, What I love about this book
is the love-hate relationship between Tara and Joel and their constant attempt
to outwit each other with the snarky remarks. This romance novel is cleverly
written with humor, sexual tension and raw emotion.
Susana Mohel definitely knows what her readers are looking
for – steamy scenes, jealousy, romance and a hot confident hero to become our
next book Boyfriend. LOVED IT!
*My Rating: 3.75 STARS!*
