The Book Junkie Reads . . . Review of . . . ONLY FOR YOU (Sugar
Lake, #2) . . . Only
for You had
that little extra something that just had me gushing out everywhere. I won’t
call it complete emotional melt down but it was touching in its own ways. Bodhi
was the man that never ever left any one behind. He may just have to leave the beautiful
single mom and her son behind this time.
Bridgette’s
life takes a turn when she loses her husband. She makes the decision to return
home and family. She made a way for herself and her son. Now it was time for
her to have a little fun. Of course, why not have fun with the new sexy stud
next door.
Bodhi
was only in town to fix the home his mother was to retire to. She was his
mission at the moment. At least, until the missions he lived for came up again.
He was a man that prided himself on his skills and ability to never leave
anyone behind. He also never expected to be pulled in to the world of the sexy
widow next door and her son.
Returning
back to Sugar Lake and the quaint
surroundings and good characters was enjoyable. The romance was building the
relationship between the three was sweet. Watching them grow as more was well
worth the short time it took to read it. I was transported to a small town with
characters and events that gave me a sense of being right there.

Love
only works when your heart is in the right place. Hers could be right next
door…
Single
mom Bridgette Dalton doesn’t have time to stop and smell the roses—not even in
her own flower shop. But that doesn’t mean she hasn’t noticed Bodhi Booker. Her
ruggedly handsome next-door neighbor would be the perfect candidate for a
no-strings fling. Having loved and lost, Bridgette’s not ready to hand over her
heart…but she could use a distraction.
Bodhi
has one rule: never leave anyone behind. As a special operative, he knows that
each new mission is more dangerous than the last. He’s never made a promise of
forever to a woman, not even to the beautiful widow who has him tied in knots.
And if there were anyone who could tempt him into putting down roots, it would
be Bridgette and her adorable son.
But as
his next deployment nears, they make a startling discovery. Their passion,
meant only for the here and now, might already be blossoming into something
more…

EXCERPT
He jogged down the
sidewalk toward the lake. Having grown up in the city, waking to glorious views
of the mountains and Sugar Lake was a welcome change. He turned onto Main
Street, running parallel to the lake and fairgrounds. A banner announcing the
upcoming Peach Festival was strung over the road. The bakery came into view,
and he wondered if Bridgette was working. Shirtless and sweaty was probably not
their preferred state of dress, so he peered through the window.
“Checking out my
sister?”
Bodhi snapped to
attention at the sound of Bridgette’s voice, and holy hell was she
beautiful in an off-the-shoulder white blouse and jeans that fit like a second
skin. She was holding a potted plant and looking at him like he was a Peeping
Tom, which bugged the hell out of him.
“I wasn’t checking
out your . . . Wait. Your sister? You both work at the
bakery?”
Her lips curved up
in a smirky smile. “Let’s circle back to you peering through the window at
Willow. I’m pretty sure your overnight guest wouldn’t like knowing her man was
checking out the hot blonde in the bakery.”
“Christ,” he uttered and wiped the sweat from his brow. Maybe it was safer
if she thought he was a pig who had slept with Shira and then checked out her
sister. But she was pushing all his buttons, and he couldn’t resist pushing
hers right back. He closed the distance between them, taking immense pleasure
in the morphing of her smirk into a much hungrier expression.
She tightened her
grip on the planter, her eyes drifting down his bare torso.
Oh yeah, this was
torture all right.
She squared her
shoulders, and her gaze darted up to his, as if she’d caught herself staring.
“Let’s start
over.” The dead-calm tone he used when commanding his team came out of habit.
“Hello, Bridgette. Do you and . . . Willow . . . both
work at the bakery?”
“Hello, Bodhi,”
she said with an impressive amount of snark. She lifted her chin, glowering at
him. “Willow owns the bakery, and I own the flower shop. But you’re out of
luck. She’s engaged.”
He clenched his
jaw, lifted the planter from her hands, and set it on the ground, allowing him
to step closer and invade her personal space. This pretty little filly was
going to learn not to doubt his word. “I said I wasn’t checking her out, and
I only say what
I mean.”
“Then that makes
two of us,” she said sharply.
He felt a smile
tugging at his lips. “Is that so?”
She crossed her
arms, tipping her chin higher. She was a sexy little thing, a solid nine or ten
inches shorter than he was, with confidence he admired. Confidence that turned
him on. He had the urge to lift her up until they were eye to eye and take the
kiss he’d been dreaming about. And then some . . .
“Always,” she said
without as much as a single blink.
“I’ll remember
that next time I’m in my towel and you ask if I want to eat—”
“Oh God! No!” She
whipped her head from side to side, as if she were afraid someone might have
heard him.
He chuckled and
leaned in closer, inhaling the enticing scent of sinfully sexy Bridgette caught
off guard, and said, “Now I know where to find you.”
