Confessions Of A Sex Kitten by Mila Rossi was released on the 30th August and today, thanks to Xpresso Book Tours I’m going to be bringing you a sneak peak into this book! Click here to be taken to the novels Goodreads page!
If you’ve read my blog before you’ll know that my (not so) guilty pleasure is a good romance novel so it’s safe to say I was excited to read this book.
First things first is the synopsis of the book. I know the minute I read the synopsis I knew it would be the kind of book that I would’ve instantly bought. Hopefully if you’re reading this you may follow my blog and have seen my previous reviews what may mean you like the same kind of books that I do so I’m thinking this will be added straight to peoples to read list!
Synopsis –
Striving to be the sex kitten Avery Taylor portrays on her blog is a lot harder than she imagined, but having a hot, new neighbor move in next door sure gets her imagination going. His green eyes alone would give a girl the vapors. And yet, getting involved with someone so close just isn’t in the cards for Avery, even if her inner kitten is telling her that all rules are meant to be broken once. Or twice. Or as many times as it takes to get familiar with James’s one billion abs.
James Mardin moves to NYC to focus on family and work. Quirky Avery just plops into his life out of nowhere. She’s the last thing he needs, and yet, he can’t seem to stay away from the damsel down the hall, especially after he stumbles upon her secret blog. A sexy goofball lusting after him? It just wouldn’t be proper if he didn’t make her fantasies come true.
With views to die for, neighborly favors to return, and secrets to uncover, James and Avery are in for a treat. The attraction is evident, but is it enough to get them through snarky family remarks, burning buildings, and the heat of a typical New York summer?
I have been gifted a copy of this book to read and although I’ve only recently started to read it I’m thoroughly enjoying it so far. I’ll be posting my review of this book next week but if you’re still unsure about whether this book is going to be for you I have an excerpt from the novel below –
Excerpt –
There was a large bed against the wall, overlooking the skyscrapers. Crisp white linens were accentuated by brown pillows, and a long bench by the window gave him a place to change his shoes or throw on his clothes.
She walked over to the bed and ran her hands over the cool sheets, imagining James stretched out after a long day. I wonder if he sleeps naked.
“Hey,” he said behind her, making her flinch as if burned.
She snatched her hand from the bed and faced him with rosy cheeks. “What are you doing here?”
He walked toward her with a smile. “I live here, remember?”
“I mean, I thought you were working. You got here so fast.”
“I thought my place was burning down, Avery. Did you want me to take my time?”
She shook her head. Of course not. He’d rushed home to make sure his place was still in one piece. The man did have excellent response time.
“I checked every room.” She tried to keep her face a normal color. “I didn’t smell any gas or smoke or anything.”
“Coolio,” he replied, mimicking her earlier text message response.
She was so mesmerized by his green eyes watching her, that she didn’t realize how quickly he was approaching until he stopped mere inches from her. Her racing heart would have alarmed a medical professional.
“I think you’re the only person left on this planet who still uses that word,” he said, grinning.
“Yeah well, someone’s gotta be the last man standing. Or woman.”
“And what were you doing just now, last woman standing?”
She swallowed and tried to think of something to say, but her mind went blank. Completely, utterly blank. Crap!
“I, uh, was checking this room last. No fire or leaks here. All good.” She tried to sidestep him, but he blocked her path.
“You were checking to see if my bed was on fire?”
She lowered her gaze, but he tilted her chin up, forcing her to look at him. The green of his eyes was replaced by an almost dark brown as he cupped her cheek and his thumb stroked her bottom lip. She tried to hold her ground, but with every pleasurable jolt shooting through her at his caress, panic set in. The room continued to get warmer by the second and she was ready to fling her clothes out the window just to cool off. Which was a terrible idea, considering that the look he gave her dared her to do just that—strip down to her birthday suit so he could show her a good time.
“Well, no,” she mumbled, hearing her own heartbeat pounding loudly in her ears.
“Sounds to me like you didn’t check good enough then. Maybe you should check once more, just to make sure.”
She had no idea what he was talking about, but her panic clock was ticking louder and faster. “I should go.”
He grabbed her waist and pulled her against him so swiftly, her eyes widened in surprise. “You’re not going anywhere.”
She couldn’t for the life of her move away. Move away? She suppressed a hysterical laugh. James was looking at her as though he was about to make her forget every thought in her head and she should pull away? Yeah right.
His fingers weaved through her hair in a slow and deliberate caress before he grazed her scalp, causing sparks to shoot all the way down to her toes. Her eyes fluttered closed and a sigh escaped her. She was melting into him, her eyes starting to glaze over when he cupped the back of her head and dug his fingers into her locks, pulling hard. She gasped as her head tilted back. His mouth was so close, she could practically taste him.
“Still want to run away?”
She shook her head, unwilling to stand the anticipation much longer. If he wasn’t going to put her out of her misery soon, she’d attack him herself.
His teeth caught her bottom lip in a bite. “What do you want?”
“You. Everywhere. Now.”
Judging by the darkening of his pupils, she must have said that out loud.
