It's one of my ALL TIME FAVORITE series and I just wish everyone would check it out. The first book is FREE and shouldn't be missed.

Check out my review of: I See London (I See London, #1)

NOTE: This is a "New Adult" novel. Due to mature content this title is recommended for ages 17+
Synopsis: We weren't a relationship, we were a ticking time bomb...

Maggie Carpenter walked away from the hottest encounter of her life when she left the seductive glitz of England for summer break in her South Carolina hometown. Now that she’s returned to the International School in London—and sexy, privileged Samir Khouri is once again close enough to touch—she can’t help but remember the attraction, the drama … the heartbreak.

She can’t help but want him even more.

Samir can’t afford to fall for someone so far removed from his world, not when his time in London is running out. It's his senior year—his last chance at freedom before he returns home to Lebanon. There, he’ll be expected to follow in his father’s footsteps—not follow his heart to Maggie. But when a scorching secret hookup becomes a temptation neither can resist, they’ll both have to fight to survive the consequences … and find a future together.

Don’t miss this explosive sequel to I See London, and the riveting conclusion to Maggie and Samir’s story. This is a New Adult romance recommended for readers 17 and up.

Author: Courtney Cole
Publisher: Forever, 352 Pages (Paperback release - April 8, 2014)
Add to: Goodreads
Order here: Amazon, Barnes and Noble, The Book Depository, Amazon UK, iTunes

NOTE: This is a "New Adult" novel. Due to mature content this title is recommended for ages 17+
Synopsis: Twenty-four-year-old Pax Tate is an asshole. Seriously. He's a tattooed, rock-hard bad boy with a tough attitude to match. His mother died when Pax was seven, leaving a hole in his heart filled with an intense guilt that he doesn't understand. What he does know is that he and his dad were left alone, and they have never been close. Now, he uses drugs and women to cope with the black void in his soul. He pretends that the emptiness isn't there and this has always worked . . . until he meets Mila.

Sweet, beautiful Mila Hill is the fresh air that Pax has never known in his life. He doesn't know how to not hurt her-but he quickly realizes that he'd better figure it out because he needs her to breathe. When the memories of his mother's death resurface to haunt Pax, Mila is there to save him from his overwhelming guilt. Mila restores his broken heart, even as she evokes his powerful, sexual desires. Now for Pax to keep Mila, he needs to work on his issues-and stop being an asshole. But is that enough to make her stay?
Excerpt:

        I am humming as I duck out of the shop to grab a sandwich for lunch. As I pause to lock the door, I notice Pax’s black car parked on the street twenty yards from my shop. My head snaps up and I stare at it, my fingers frozen. He’s not in it. I don’t know if I am relieved or not.
        “Looking for someone?”
        Pax’s voice is right behind me.
        You’ve got to be kidding me. This is too coincidental. I slowly turn to find myself face to face with the very man who has invaded my thoughts. Pax smiles, a slow panty- dropping grin.
“Are you stalking me again, Miss Hill?” He cocks an eyebrow.
        My heart hammers.
        “What?” I choke out. “This is my shop.”
        Pax shrugs. “And that’s my car. You were staring at it like you were hoping I would get out of it.”
        I’m guilty of that. I can’t say a word in my defense. Instead, I stare at him like an idiot.
        “What are you doing downtown?” I finally manage, changing the subject.
        “I don’t cook,” he explains. “I’m making a food run. The bar down the street makes good burgers.”
        “Oh,” I answer dumbly. “That’s what I’m doing too.”
        He lifts his eyebrow again.
        “Not the bar,” I add quickly. “I’m going to the deli, next door to the bar.”
        Pax smiles again. “All by yourself? Haven’t you heard that there are some bad things going on in Angel Bay? Just a while back, some dumbass overdosed on the beach. Apparently, they’re letting all kinds of assholes in nowadays. It’s probably not safe for you to walk alone.”
        I have to grin now, at his audacity.
        “Oh, really? Wow. That does sound bad. Assholes are just running loose on our streets? I guess I’ll never know now when I’m going to bump into one.”
        “How very true,” he answers softly, his golden eyes frozen on mine. Sweet Jesus. The man has beautiful eyes. So bottomless and warm. Like hot caramel. I gulp.
        “Is this when you take your lunch every day?” he finally asks, breaking the silent stare.
        “If I go out,” I answer. “Are you planning on stalking me again?”
        We’re still standing in the middle of the sidewalk, but Pax doesn’t seem to care. Instead, he grins.
        “Maybe,” he answers, before holding his arm out like a gentleman. “Since I’m here and you’re here and we’re both going in the same direction . . . I’ll walk you today. I’ll keep the wolves at bay.”
        I stare up at him as I slip my fingers into the crook of his leather covered elbow.
       “I thought you were the baddest wolf of them all?”
        He grins again, wickedly. It lights up his eyes with a gleam.
        “That’s probably true,” he admits. “Are you afraid?”
        “I should be,” I tell him.
        But I’m not.
        He walks me to the deli’s door and steps away from me. I feel the absence of his warmth immediately.
“Have a good day, Mila Hill,” he tells me, his eyes flickering up and down the length of me. “Watch out for those wolves.”
        And he’s gone. He disappears into the bar and I realize that I’m standing alone outside. I shake my head and sigh, going inside to order my sandwich. I have no idea what just happened, but Pax Tate is firmly in my head now. And I have the feeling he’s not going anywhere. My stomach flutters and I realize that I like that thought.

LOVED this book! I need to get a paperback from the shelves and do a reread. SO amazing!!!
