I loved this book! The story drew me in and kept me reading! I couldn’t put it down! Lucas and Emma were perfect together! Their chemistry was sizzling! I loved the mystery surrounding the Arcadia and it’s potential to continue in future books in this series! Emma has a mystery of her own to figure out! Caress is an entertaining book full of mystery, suspense, love and hot, steamy sexiness! Josie has given us a great story and the start of a fantastic series!
There are lots of cute-meets, but this one was super original and I couldn’t help but chuckle at the way it all went down. This is insta-attraction in a situation that most would probably not consider appropriate, but I thought it was perfect.
This couple absolutely sizzled across the pages as they not only get to know one another, but have to maneuver through the minefield of their pasts. While there is always the shadow of Emma’s past threatening them both individually and as a couple, this had a lot of couple moments. Fun and laughter is a large part of their relationship with a healthy dose of desire to prove the chemistry between them.
I love when a hero doesn’t realize how alpha he is until he meets the right woman. Such is the case with Lucas. He never knew he had a caveman mentality until Emma turns his life upside down. Watching him fall for her was fun as well as sizzling.
”Sweet heaven, I hungered for her. I couldn’t remember ever feeling such raw sexual need. But not only that, I also wanted to pound my chest, swing my club, and keep every other male on the face of the earth from so much as breathing on her.”
The mystery at the center of the Arcadia is discussed but never really delved into but I loved the potential it held for future books. Relatively low angst, this has a lightning fast pace that moves us forward despite the lack of drama. However, when trouble arises, the angst gets down and dirty and man oh man but my heart hurt for both of these characters.
I enjoyed the heck out of this book and wish I had pulled out back when I first purchased it. Lesson learned – all Josie Litton books should be read ASAP!
