Seashell Bay #3

Releasing February 23rd, 2016
Forever
DEEPER THAN ANY OCEAN . . .
All Holly Tyler wants is a fantastic career, a not-too-committed relationship, and a city where there are no painful memories. Instead, she's called back to her hometown of Seashell Bay to help with her family's struggling general store. It's a town where everyone knows everyone, and where one man could sink Holly's careful plans.
Deputy Sheriff Micah Lancaster has wanted Holly for as long as he can remember. He knows she has a life on the mainland-and a boyfriend-and that there's no real future with her. But now Holly is back and the attraction still flickers between them, a promise of something more. Their desire is stronger than any undertow . . . and once it pulls them under, it won't let go.
My Review & Thoughts
Husband and wife writing team V. K. Sykes adds another sweet visit to Seashell Bay. SEE YOU AT SUNLIGHT is a feel-good friends to lovers romance, perfect for enjoying snuggled up in your favorite chair.
Holly and Micah were friends growing up, but Holly wanted to see more than of the world than the island, while Micah loved living there and still does. She is back temporarily to help at her aunts' store and finds that her life is changing in a direction that was not part of her plans. She loves her aunts and old friends, but she is preparing to start a new partnership in a new city. She lost her husband a few years back and is in a casual, no strings relationship, but slowly realizes that something is still missing from her life. Micah, the town sheriff, has always had a thing for Holly but kept his feelings quiet. Now that they keep running into each other, they feel a spark of attraction. They live in different worlds, so how can anything come of it?
I love how the island and it's people including Holly's best friends begin to work its magic on Holly. Micah is such a sweetheart--strong, smart, protective and pretty darn sexy, and you feel the sparks fly between the two characters. Holly is fun, savy and smart, but being home, her real home, makes her do some soul searching about where her heart and future belong. Change is coming to the island and to two people who deserve a forever love . If you love romance, you will enjoy Micah and Holly find that happily ever after.
EXCERPT:
She
stood poised at the top of the ladder, where she’d stood countless times
before. Holly had no fear of the ocean, having jumped and dived off Seashell
Bay docks and piers all through her childhood. She’d never suffered anything
worse than a black eye Brett Clayton inadvertently gave with his elbow as he
surfaced beside her.
After
a quick glance down at Micah, who was staring up at her with his mouth hanging
open, she aimed a little to his right and launched herself into a dive.
She
came up spitting salt water and shrieking. The water was not warm—it was
freaking cold. “You lied about the water, you rat,” she yelped.
He
swam closer. “Since when did you become such a wimp?” he teased.
Holly
splashed water at him. “Officers of the law are supposed to always tell the
truth.”
Micah
gave her a sly grin. “Are you still cold?”
She
didn’t miss the heated intent in his gaze. You are so playing with fire, Holly.
But she didn’t care—not tonight anyway.
“Am
I still shivering?” she scoffed.
“I
can fix that.” He pulled her in, plastering her against that wet, gorgeous
chest of his. Holly couldn’t resist. Didn’t want to resist, because it felt too
damn good—better than anything she’d felt in a very long time.
She
snaked her arms around Micah’s shoulders and treaded water along with him.
“Does
that help?” he whispered in her ear. His bristly chin brushed against her
cheek, making her shiver even harder.
“You
have no idea,” she choked out.
“Mmm,
wrap your legs around my waist, babe. Then you can just float with me.”
She
was vaguely aware that he was pulling her with him, but didn’t fully realize
what was happening until he turned and gently pressed her against one of the
dock’s pilings. Micah’s arms protected her back from rubbing against the rough,
moss-covered wooden post. He pulled her close, and the filmy fabric of her bra
was like nothing against the rock-hard heat of his chest. Her nipples, already
stiff from the cold water, ached with a delicious heat from the contact.
When
she sucked in a startled breath, one of his hands slid down to her ass and he
kissed her hard. She didn’t even try to close her lips, taking him right in.
And,
dear sweet Jesus, did he ever taste wonderful. She’d dreamed about kissing him
for so long. And not the friendly, quick kiss on the cheek or the occasional
peck on the lips they’d shared as friends. She’d wanted this. Hot, glorious,
messy, and so damn passionate that it blasted every rational thought from her
brain. She’d wanted Micah’s tongue sweeping into her mouth, his lips devouring
hers like he’d never wanted anything more in his life than what they were doing
right now.
