SNEAK PEEK AT XAVIER COLD
“You tired?” he asks.
It doesn’t hit me until he mentions being tired on how exhausted I actually am. Tonight’s been stressful, and I’m sure, if I allow myself to close my eyes for even the briefest time, I’d fall asleep on the spot.
But I refuse to let go of Xavier. When I thought they would lock him up and throw away the key, the opportunity to hold him against me anytime I wanted felt like it was quickly being ripped away. So, for now, I choose to stay here, in his presence, breathing him in as much as I possibly can.
I tilt my head up and stare into his light-blue eyes. “I’m ready for bed, but I don’t want to sleep just yet.”
For the first time since the chaos of the day began, Xavier smiles, but it’s not just any smile. It’s the heart-stopping one-sided smirk that drives me out of my ever-loving mind.
“Have I turned my good girl naughty?”
I give him my best wicked grin. “Afraid so. I can’t seem to get enough of you.”
His large hands cradle my face. “Glad to hear it because I’m fucking addicted to you.”
His lips press on mine, and I’m immediately lost in his kiss. The stubble on his face scratches my fingertips as I trace his jawline.
“I need you.”
A wicked gleam is in his eyes. “Is that so?”
Xavier bends down and nips my lower lip. “You don’t know how much it turns me on when you ask for it. It takes every ounce of willpower in my body to stop myself from throwing you down on that bed and ravaging every inch of your body for my pleasure.”
At the very thought of what that would be like, my pulse races under my skin. “What’s stopping you?”
“You’re too sweet for that.” He leans in and runs his nose along my cheek, causing my entire body to quiver with anticipation. “And because you’re not ready to go there— to allow me to have full control— yet.”
“How do you know?”
Tracey’s Review
“What are you doing to me, beautiful? You’re changing me in ways I never thought possible.”
Author Michelle Valentine left readers with one whopper of a cliffhanger in PHENOMENAL X, the kind that has you staring at the page thinking ‘What the HECK just happened? Are you kidding me? I have to wait HOW long to find out what’s next?!’ Yeah, that kind of a cliffhanger. Suffice to say that XAVIER COLD, the second book in Michelle’s Hard Knocks series, was heavily anticipated by fans of the first book, and well worth the wait.
The rivalry between Xavier Cold and Rex ‘The Assassin’ Risen, wrestlers for the Tension group, has reached an all-time high. Having lost control in the ring, Xavier finds himself banned from all things Tension for three months. Determined to keep his suspension from destroying their relationship, Xavier and Anna return to Detroit, X’s childhood home, and the dwelling place of all of his personal demons. But the road to happily ever after is not an easy one, and these two have their work cut out for them.
Where PHENOMENAL X is the story of the beginning of Anna’s and Xavier’s relationship, this book is about overcoming the things that keep us from being the best version of ourselves, and creating our own reality. It’s about their love for each other, and the freedom that this kind of love offers. And, finally, it’s about the redemption that comes through such unconditional love.
I could not read this book quickly enough. It’s full of grittiness and intrigue, secrets that are jaw-dropping, and the kind of love that completely changes the landscape of lives. 5 phenomenal stars for XAVIER COLD, and kudos to Michelle Valentine for another awesome read.
