He was a nameless guy in a
bar--a man Grace couldn't get out of her head...
Noah left the military and moved to New York for one reason: his daughter. Not for some uptight businesswoman--a Manhattan elitist. So when Grace offers him the kind of relationship that no hot-blooded man can turn down, he should say no. And when her seemingly put-together life spins out of control, and his instincts to protect and save kick in, he should turn away. But he doesn't.
Can two people from different worlds really live in the moment, knowing they're on borrowed time, or is someone bound to get hurt?

My Review
I received an advanced copy of this book with the promise of an honest review.
I read the synopsis and two things stood out to me: 1. Noah is an ex- SEAL and 2. this has a forbidden romance story line. And then I read the prologue and BOOM...I was sold!
Noah has moved to New York City to be close to his daughter. He is currently working for his sister and finds himself renovating a fancy apartment. Turns out the owner of that apartment is none other than the woman he had previously hit on at a bar. A woman, who he has been thinking about since that night. Grace is a Parker-King. And Parker-Kings have a reputation to uphold. She is expected to act a certain way, marry a certain type of man and live a certain type of life. But Grace doesn't want to do all that. So when Noah shows up, she sees him as a way to not only rebel, but to also get some sexy times in with a guys he can't stop thinking about. At least that's how it starts.
I absolutely LOVED Grace and Noah. On paper they couldn't have been more wrong for each other, but it turns out they were the perfect combination of high society and the guy from the wrong side of the tracks. Grace always felt a bit out of place with her family and spending time with Noah only cemented that fact. Noah was the absolute sweetest guy and he treated Grace with such kindness, which was something she was not used to and it all melted my ice cold heart. And when it came down to it they both fought for what they wanted....each other!
I'm looking forward to reading more from Brittney, especially since the next book is about Grace's brother! I didn't really like him for most of this book, but he did redeem himself by the end. I need to know more about him before making up my mind completely.
EXCERPT
“I’ll go in when you’re ready.”
His blue eyes find mine, and the sweetness of his words and the way he places his hand on my shoulder, squeezing it a little, lets me know everything will be okay—and I almost break apart into tiny pieces. I’ve been holding myself together for so long, trying to be the woman I have to be, instead of the person I want to be. And full disclosure, I’m not even sure who I want to be.
Right now, I want to fall into this man’s arms and find comfort. I want the memories of last month gone. I want the fear to disappear. But he can’t help in the long run. Only I can patch myself together and be me again.
I glance down at the road between us.
But what if I don’t want to be her? Grace Parker-Fucking-King.
“Grace?” A dark brow arches as he angles his head, then his hand dips beneath my chin and he’s urging my face back up. His eyes seize mine. He takes no prisoners with that gaze. It’s powerful and demanding. So intense that I wonder if the ground could swallow my feet and I wouldn’t even notice.
I don’t want to look away.
“Yeah?” I murmur in response to the beautiful caress of my name on his tongue.
His hand shifts to my cheek, and he brushes the side of my face with the pad of his thumb. I want to shut my eyes and just be…
“What do you need from me? What can I do for you?”
His questions have me stiffening, my spine bowing forward a little. He’s so straightforward, with zero bullshit coating his words.
I’m not used to this. A directness that bleeds kindness. He’s a real man. A good man.
I wet my lips and swallow. “I need you to kiss me,” I whisper.
His brows pull together and his focus cuts to my mouth for a moment before returning to my eyes.
And then both his hands are on my face as he steps closer, taking me by surprise.
His lips touch mine gently at first. Then he groans a little against my mouth. His hands fall from my face to my hips and I gasp as he lifts me. I follow without thought and wrap my legs tightly around him as my back goes against the brick building behind me.
Without much effort, he holds me as his tongue parts my lips, and he takes my mouth. And I mean he takes it. He fucks my mouth with his tongue in a way that no man has ever done. It’s so deep, slow, and sensual.
My fingertips bite into his back while my other hand travels to his head, threading into his thick hair like I’ve fantasized about doing since we met. His hard chest is against mine, and I can feel the material of my dress shifting, my strapless bra slipping.
He may be sweet and kind, but the man knows how to make a woman feel good. And right now, all I can think about is him filling me deep.
And then, just like that, he breaks our kiss and pulls back a little. I open my eyes, finding a tortured look in his—pain. Or sadness. I’m not sure what happened, but he releases a breath and slowly guides my legs back to the earth. His eyes flicker to my chest, and he clears his throat and reaches for me, covering a partially exposed breast.
My cheeks grow warm and embarrassment floods me as I take over fixing my dress.
He lowers his forehead against his palm then swipes his hand down his face. “Grace, there’s something I should tell you.”
