Review:
This is book 2 in the series, you need to read book 1 to read this one! I read both books and this review is for BOTH book 1 and 2. Both books are novellas, so they are short reads that you can get done in 1 sitting. They are about 70 ish pages each. You get full stories in both, they are something you can read and not have all the fluff around the story and you can read in one sitting.
Book 1 introduces us to Lance and Sam who were on and off while they were young. Something tragic happens when they finally get serious at 17 and 18 that tears them apart. It isn't until 10 years later that their patches cross again and they both realize they never got over the other. Their is some steamy scenes with this reunion!
Book 2 begins a few years after where book 1 ended. Lance is going back on the road for the first time without Sam and this brings more tests into their relationship that really shake up their relationship. Scarlett doesn't disappoint with a great read with YUMMY scenes! I like that I get a whole story that I don't have to pry my eyes open to finish, or regret staying up so late the next day. These are short BUT worth reading! I read both books in a day and will be one clicking more!!!
Rating: 4.5 stars

Excerpt #1 from Samantha’s POV
Later that night, Samantha was in the bathroom getting ready for bed while Lance was performing his nightly ritual of checking on Emma before coming to bed. She was going to miss these little routines their family had.
She glanced at herself in the mirror. She’d managed to slip on the sheer, lacy black teddy Lance had bought her in Vegas when they got married. He had a thing for lingerie despite the fact he couldn’t keep it on her for longer than a few minutes. Tonight would probably be no exception.
She turned off the bathroom light and climbed onto their king size bed to wait for him. They had designed their bedroom to be a sanctuary, a place to relax after long months on the road or in LA while he was recording. There was a fireplace and a small sitting area and Lance had to have a big screen TV. There were times when they would get home from LA and they’d spend days in this room. She loved it, but it would be empty without Lance.
“Must’ve worn her out at the park today; she’s out cold,” Lance said as he walked into the room. He shut the door behind him and his eyes widened when he saw her. “Holy shit, Sam. What are you trying to do to me?”
A shiver went down her spine; the teddy had its desired effect. Lust and desire were written all over Lance’s face. “Oh nothing, just getting ready for bed,” she stated nonchalantly.
“What-the-fuck-ever, woman,” he mumbled, pulling his t-shirt over his head and tossing it across the room. He undid his belt and had his jeans and boxers off in record time. He hopped onto the bed by her and pulled her under him. His erection was hard against her thigh. That didn’t take long.
“You know I love that thing on you,” he growled into her ear. “And I’ve been semi-hard since earlier this afternoon. I’m not going to play around right now, Sam. I need to be inside you.”
His words sent a spark of desire straight to her womb. She reached up and cupped his face in her hands, looking deep into his blue eyes. “Then take me, Lance. Make love to me,” she whispered. She didn’t need foreplay tonight either; she needed to feel him inside her. She needed to be close to him tonight.
He made a sound deep in his throat and kept his eyes on hers as he thrust inside her. She moaned softly and arched beneath him, savoring the feel of him filling her. She wrapped her legs around him and ran her nails down his back.
They made love the rest of the night, dozing on and off in between sessions. They touched and kissed each other all over, sometimes taking their time, sometimes with a sense of urgency.
