BLOG TOUR: Then There Was You by Claire Contreras



Then There Was You, an all-new second chance romance from New York Times bestselling author Claire Contreras is LIVE! 


Love and the right timing were two things I didn't believe in.

Love is about walking to the edge of the cliff and taking the leap together. Timing was never on our side. My first mistake was hooking up with my best friend. My second came years later, when we met again, and I fell for her. My third was letting her go, because I had to. Because a love like this wasn't built to withstand the winds coming in our direction.

Love and timing. I didn't believe in either.

Then there was you . . .

Excerpt from Then There Was You

“There’s no one at my parent’s house except for me.” He raised an eyebrow. “My brother is moving from his apartment to a bigger house, so he’s been going by there to pick up the last of his things, but that’s about it. I’ve barely seen him.”

I frowned. “So why are you staying there?” And where were his parents living? I didn’t want to ask this, of course, but I was dying to know.

“I’m waiting for construction on my apartment building to be complete. It should be move-in ready by October.”

“Hm.”

All sorts of questions popped into my head, but I pushed them aside. They’d go unasked because I didn’t want to answer any more of his. Thankfully, he clicked for the iron gates that guarded his house to open and drove in, not pushing for an answer. My eyes stayed glued on those gates as we drove past them. They were like something out of a Richie-Rich movie, those gates, black with a gold emblem in the center. I’d seen them countless times, pushed them open in the middle of the night more times than I could count. I tore my eyes away and looked up at the house. I hadn’t expected to feel such gripping emotion over a damn gate, but I guess some things never stop piercing your heart, no matter how much time passed.

“I’ll be right out.”

I nodded once and leaned against the seat before he jogged inside. I closed my eyes, trying to figure out how my trip had gone from closing a chapter in my life to being stuck in the middle of my epilogue. When Grandma Joan called me with a guilt trip, telling me to come spend a couple of weeks with her, I’d taken her up on the offer for two reasons: I was the only one left who hadn’t packed her room and taken the boxes to the storage unit, and I missed her and this place. I missed the days I used to come here and feel like I was home. I missed the slow pace that came with a life here in Ithaca, nestled inside the city, but surrounded by nature and the water.

Thinking about those days also brought memories of Rowan. Kissing Rowan, holding hands with him, laughing with him in our canoes, but with the positive came the negative. He and I were never meant to be more than friends, and even friends was questionable. Friends didn’t lie or omit important things. My eyes popped open when I heard the front door shut. I watched him take the steps two at a time and stride toward me.

He slid into the driver’s seat, dropped one of the two bottles of water he’d been carrying into my lap, and shot me a wink. I scowled, clutching the water and facing forward. Just because I’d taken him up on the ride didn’t mean we were suddenly going to be chums again. Far from it. I wouldn’t fall for those mischievous eyes. I wouldn’t fall for the panty-dropping grin either. I wouldn’t fall. Not again.

RELEASE DAY BLITZ: The Player by Claire Contreras





I'm naturally gifted on the field and between the sheets. With flashy cars and enough media attention to put the Royal Family to shame, I’m the definition of Most Eligible Bachelor.

Every man wants to be me and every woman wants to tame me. Until Camila.

The moment I lay eyes on her, I know I have to have her.

She wants to keep me at arm's length.
I want her naked in my bed.

She thinks our worlds are too different.
All I want her to think about is screaming my name.

She says I’m bad news.

I have three weeks to prove her wrong.

EXCERPT

“Are you upset I crashed your friend-date?” he asked, his eyes searching mine.


“Would it make a difference?”

“No.” He sighed, running a hand through his hair. “Maybe. This is new territory for me, Camila.”

“The stalking thing?” I asked, smiling at his flustered look.
“That and . . .” he shook his head, moving close to me again, pressing me flat against the wall behind me, “this.”

His free hand traveled down my spine, stopping on my ass, which he grabbed a handful of this time. My lips parted as I gasped, watching the way his eyes darkened. Our lips met at the same time, our tongues crashing in each other’s mouths in a wild escapade. I wrapped my arms around his neck, willing myself closer to him. My pelvis rocking against his very pronounced erection, my bare chest covered by only the thin layer of fabric brushing against the buttons of his hard muscled chest.

“You’re killing me,” he whispered against my lips, taking hold of both sides of my face. “You’re fucking killing me and you don’t even know it.”

The fire inside me spread through me, roaring through my veins with each touch, each drop of his lips on a different part of me, my shoulders, my neck, my collarbone. My stomach ached with the absolute need I felt for him.

“I don’t want to want you this much,” I whispered when our lips broke apart again. 

His eyes searched mine, his gaze softening. “But you do.”

“But I do.”

“And you can’t will the feeling away.”

I shook my head, looking at him as if he was going to give me some kind of antidote for this. Whatever this was.

“Neither can I,” he said, placing his forehead against mine. 

“Neither can I.”

5 Star Review: Elastic Hearts (Hearts #3) by Claire Contreras

Victor Reuben.
Most sought out divorce attorney in LA.

Nicole Alessi.
Soon to be ex-wife of Hollywood's biggest star, Victor’s latest client and his boss's daughter.

In such a high profile divorce, they can't afford any extra drama. Luckily, neither one of them has anything to hide. 


Unless you count the mind blowing sex they had… 


Once…
Twice…
Three times all those years ago.

As long as they leave the past where it belongs, they’ll be fine. But with her wearing those tight dresses and him giving her those heated glances, keeping their hands to themselves is proving to be more difficult than either one of them realized.

It won't be long before the paparazzi start to smell smoke, and where there's smoke...







My Review

I received an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. 

About five years ago, Victor and Nicole had a fling. They met at a bar. Had sex at the bar and then proceeded to keep having sex...at his office where he found out that Nicole's father was his new boss. And that was the end of things. Surprisingly heartbroken after their break up, Nicole went to work, met someone else and got married soon after. The two of them haven't seen much of each other since, but now Nicole is getting divorced and Victor is her lawyer. 

These two made me CRAZY! But in the best way possible. From the moment they see each other again it is very clear that they are both still harboring feelings for the other person. It's just not clear how deep those feelings run. Their meetings as lawyer/client are thick with sexual tension, but they are determined to not let their personal feelings get in the way. 

I loved that Nicole was kind of the aggressor in their relationship. She was constantly trying to get Victor to let down his guard and give in to the feelings he had for her. She was also going through a crappy divorce with a guy that was just the absolutely worst at times and she found herself constantly in the media. Then she was dealing with her feelings for Victor, which she thought were never going to come to surface again. I know I kept waiting for her to have a breakdown that I probably would've probably had on day 1. But not Nicole. And I LOVED her for that. She was so kick ass.

VICTOR. This. Fucking. Guy. Gah!! I loved him so much. He took Nicole's case knowing that it wasn't going to be easy, but he he also knew that his chance at partnership was on the line. And that's why he was adamant that he and Nicole keep things completely professional. But what it comes down to is that he loved Nichole and can't help but give in. And although he was this super serious and very professional lawyer guy, deep down he was a funny, sweet, loving and a dirty talking Alpha. **swoon** I love that combo!  

And as a couple, Victor and Nicole were fun to read. They have this level of comfort with each other that is still there, even after 5 years. As her lawyer, Victor had nothing but Nicole's best interest at heart and I like that things went relatively (not completely) smoothly. Because let's be honest, that could have gone gone south at any moment and been a lot worse than it was. I like that Claire made a point of telling the readers that she didn't consider this to be second chance romance. Sure, Victor and Nicole were together in the past, but it was more of a friends with benefits arrangement. And it didn't last that long. But they are both older and A LOT wiser and can see that what they have is much more than just a quick romp in a club bathroom or Victor's office. I kind of look at their first "relationship" as one that didn't really stand a chance, so this is really their first go at things. 

This book is a must read. If you haven't read the rest of the series, go back and read the other two and then read this one. Trust me...it's totally worth it! We get to see the rest of the gang and I really loved the scenes when everyone was all together. It gave the book some light moments that played so well against the rest of the book.

Excerpt

“This isn’t going to work,” he said finally, turning to face me as he stood behind the desk.

“What?”

“This. Us. Me on this case. It’s not going to work.”

“Because you want to fuck me against the window,” I said.

He gripped the top of the chair tightly and dropped his head, but didn’t comment on what I’d said. “Maybe we should just see each other when we have to . . . for the divorce,” he said.

I let out a laugh. “I didn’t plan to come here tonight, let alone run into you.”

“You’re right,” he said, meeting my gaze. “You’re right, but we should still stick to that plan.”

“As my lawyer, I don’t think you should let me make rash decisions when I’m drunk,” I said. He looked down again, but I saw his smile before he tried to hide it.

“I’m serious, Nicole.”

“That’s fine, Victor. I get it. Is that it? I was talking to a really cute guy upstairs, and I still need to use the restroom. Maybe I’ll take him with me.” Even in my current state, I could see the way his eyes darkened at my suggestion.

“You just said you were drunk,” he growled, gripping the chair harder.

“Not that drunk.” I paused to search his face. “Would that upset you? If I hooked up with that guy in the bathroom? I kind of like bathroom hookups.”

“Nicole,” he said, his tone hard, his eyes searing into mine.

“You know, you’re actually the only guy I’ve done that with,” I admitted. “But it was so hot. You kept saying all these dirty things in my ear, remember?”

“I remember,” he said, voice grating.

“You were doing that,” I said, pointing at his fingers, which were digging into the top of the chair. “Gripping my ass. I had marks the next day, the soreness. So hot.”

“Nicole,” he growled.
