Mila
Pregnant and married at the young age of eighteen, I settled into my life not knowing there could ever be more.
Until Mason, with his cocky smirk and magnetic baby blue eyes. With a single look and a few words, he made me feel sexy and alive. But as quickly as he came into my life, he was gone, leaving me wanting more.
A few days later my mom died, and her final words of advice—life’s too short to settle—are what I vowed to live my life by. Not even a year after her death, I was divorced and ready to find the one.
Only I didn’t realize how difficult it would be to find someone who could make me feel the way Mason did. Five years later, and I’m still single, looking for my forever.
Mason
I’m the guy who fights and f*cks. The guy who goes fishing but never keeps what he catches. The responsibility that comes with commitment isn’t for me.
Until Mila comes back into my life making me want things I’ve never imagined wanting. Now, the man I’ve always been is quickly losing the fight against the man I want to be.
I’m supposed to want the woman who wants the right now. Yet, I’m falling for the woman who wants the forever.
4 out of 5 stars
(This is the 3rd book in this series, but could be read as a standalone, though I recommend reading at least Clinched first.)
Mason and Mila were introduced during the previous book of this series and I knew, even then, that Mason was the right kind of trouble. His cocky smirk and troubled tongue were just what I needed in a book boyfriend this week.
In this book, they come together because of Charlie and Tristan from Clinched (the previous book in the series) - Mila is Charlie’s best friend and Mason Is Tristan’s. The amount of time they spend together is high, but they still never expect to actually end up together.
Mila tried to fight her attraction - through half of the book - but she succumbed to his charms eventually. I think the best part of this story was the way they ended up together and then Mason’s reactions to it. I thought the way it all worked out was perfectly executed and I only wish it wasn’t over!
Mason may seem like a cocky guy without any heart, but the truth is that his heart is bigger than any book boyfriend I’ve read recently. It just took finding the right woman to bring it all out -- though he should have seen it in the way he cared for Tristan and Lexi. Truly a good, quick read.
“Mason!” Mila screeches. “Stop staring at me like I’m a piece of meat!” I smirk, imagining Mila splayed out in my bed, her legs spread wide open while I feast on her like she’s my last meal. “I wouldn’t call you a piece of meat. More like a piece of mouthwatering fruit.” I bridge the small gap between us. “Mmm…like a strawberry. I bet one bite into your sweet cunt and I would be addicted to your taste.” There’s a knock on the door and Mila moves away from me. “Well…” She gulps loudly. “It looks like you’ll need to find yourself some other fruit to bite into because this strawberry has a date tonight.” She swings the door open and standing in the doorway is the anti-touch jackass from the other night at the art studio. She says goodnight and they’re both out the door as quick as he came in. “What a prick.” I sit on the couch next to Charlie. “He’s okay.” She shrugs. “He’s a good dad and makes a good living. A little stuffy, maybe…” “He told his son tag was too violent. He’s a pussy.” “Hey! Don’t be hating on pussies. They’re tougher than you think. Just ask Betty White.” I grab the remote and click on the television, giving her a side-eye. “You know…because they can take a pounding.”
