What the hell am I doing?
The city lights flash past us in a neon blur, bright and electric as the adrenalin pumping through my veins. I can feel every rumble of the engine echo up through my body as I hold on tight to the solid muscle of the stranger between my thighs.
The man who wouldn’t let me walk away.
This is crazy. I’m crazy.
When Dex finally pulls the bike to a stop, I’m surprised to feel a flash of disappointment.
I shake out my hair, wondering how much of a mess I look. “Motorcycles are dangerous,” I say, instead of admitting just how good that just felt.
I blush, looking away. Now we’re far from the party, and all the reasons I had to run, I’m reminded just how far out of my depth I am with a man like him. He’s probably used to groupies and daredevils — rock chick girls who wouldn’t think twice about leaving a party with a man they’ve never met before, not some ordinary girl whose head is still spinning just from a motorcycle ride across town.
I catch my breath, feeling a sudden panic. He brought me straight to his place? He thinks we’re going to…? “I didn’t mean–” I stutter. “When I said, we should get out of there–” I stop, my face burning up with embarrassment.
He beckons me to follow him inside.
“You’re not that kind of girl,” Dex finishes, smiling. “I know. But, I’m going to let you in on a little secret.” He drops to a whisper, leaning in close enough for me to feel his body, hot against mine.
“You want to be.”
Tracey’s Review
Dex is not Alicia’s type. He’s hot, edgy, sexy, a rocker that just happened to show up in her town. And Alicia is definitely not Dex’s type. She’s straight-laced, buttoned-up, and innocent. But when the two of them end up in the same place, it’s fireworks galore. These two cannot keep their hands off of each other!
Alicia has come to the realization that the guy she wants so badly doesn’t feel the same. Her love is completely unrequited, and her heart is breaking. Running from the fame that had become like a drug to him, Dex finds himself crashing into Alicia, drawn to her like no one before.
‘Unrequited’ is a novella, the first book in the ‘Callahans’ series by Melody Grace. This story definitely grabbed and held my attention, because the chemistry between Dex and Alicia is OFF THE CHARTS. I mean, completely steamy, and then some. My only complaint is that it is a novella, after all, so the story is more like an appetizer, something to whet the appetite until the whole meal is delivered in the next book. And I will definitely be reading the next book, because I cannot wait to find out what happens with these two. Get ready for a hot and sexy four-star read in this one.
