The Right Time - perfect for you #2 - by Amanda Siegrist

ABOUT THE BOOK

The plan: Organize an epic birthday party without spilling the massive secret—that has nothing to do with the party.

Time Frame: Two weeks.

Plan a party? Check.

Try not to think about the man she can’t have? Check.

Suddenly accept said man’s proposal. Check.

Wait…what did Mia Carter do? There was no way she could marry Jaxson Brandt. It would never last. Nothing in her life ever does. They weren’t even dating. They couldn’t go from just friends to marriage. She’ll just have to tell him she changed her mind. If only he’d give her a chance to do so. But between planning a birthday party and trying to keep her bestie from finding out they’re getting hitched, she can’t seem to find the right time. He’s making it his mission to show her what love is truly about—something she’d never had before. She’s just not sure it’ll be enough to convince her.

Warning: This is not a full romcom. While it has moments of humor, it also has a twist of angst. Okay, now you can dive in, you’re prepared!

EXCERPT

A slow, seductive smile grew right before he tossed her onto the bed. She giggled, her eyes filled with pleasurable delight and a bit of surprise.

Then he joined her on the bed, covering her with his body.

“You threw me,” she said with a teasing twinkle in her eyes.

He couldn’t even say why he tossed—definitely didn’t throw—her on to the bed. Maybe to get a reaction out of her. Sometimes, it was hard to get the kind of reactions he wanted from her. It was like pulling teeth, hard and tumultuous.

“Did I?” His lips found her neck, making a delicious path up to her ear. “What can I say? I'm excited to get you in this bed.”

Then he pushed into her, so she could feel how hard his cock was, and how damn excited he was that this was finally happening.

Her arms wound around his neck, pulling him closer. Then their lips matched, more pleasure exploding throughout his body as their tongues mingled and their bodies moved to a beautiful rhythm.

But they had too many clothes between them.

“I need you naked, now,” he said between kisses as one of his hands wove down toward the edge of the silky shirt she wore.

She pushed on his chest, giggling. “Don’t even think about pulling up on this shirt. I don’t want to have to fix any of the buttons with your eagerness.”

He winked, pretty sure he would’ve popped a button or two pulling her shirt up and over her head, as she tried to sit up.

“Oh, no, sweetheart, I got this.” Then he sat up and scooted back a little and popped one button undone.

Bending down, he pressed a kiss to the small patch of skin exposed. He felt her tremble beneath him. Oh, the things he wanted to do with her. He’d been imagining having her in his arms for so many years, it would take more than one night to enact every scenario. It was a damn good thing she’d agreed to marry him. Now he had a lifetime.

Never in a million years had he expected this outcome when he came to her apartment. He had meant to make sure she was all right. Comfort her, hopefully. Let her use his shoulder for her tears. But this. Her willingly in his arms, saying yes to being his wife. Never in a million years.

Another button came undone with ease. His lips inched up, following the path his hands were taking. Each time he found a new spot to kiss, she trembled and a breathy moan left her sweet, luscious lips. He was torn between kissing her soft skin and tangling tongues with her. Both were like being in heaven.

“This is torture. Let me do it.” Her words came out soft and breathy. And not like she wanted him to stop.

Instead of answering, he continued his path upward, undoing another button, his lips meeting silky, beautiful skin. When he neared her breasts, he paused, taking in the view. A white lacy bra covered her, exposing more skin than containing it. He was in love…with this bra. Who knew she wore such sexy lingerie underneath her clothes? Well, now he did, and he’d be letting his imagination run away more and more from now on. He knew it.

He undid the last few buttons, then cupped her breasts. His eyes zeroed in on a rosy nipple, suckling hard as she arched upward off the bed.

“Jaxson…” Her breathy voice had him ramped up and ready.

But he wanted to take this slowly. He wanted to savor every second with her.

“You are so gorgeous. Every inch of you.” Then he slid his hands underneath her and unclasped her bra.

She sat up as he helped her slip off her shirt and bra, tossing them to the floor. Before she could take off his shirt, something he could tell she wanted to do when her hands reached for the bottom, he pushed her down and reclaimed a nipple.

He took his time giving each one attention, biting playfully and kissing afterward to soothe. He knew she liked it as her low moans and constant shifting closer to him didn’t stop, but only increased.

“Okay, I take it back. I’ll fix any button you want, but you need to take that shirt off now.”

 This is book 2 in the series but easily stands alone. Its stars Mia and Jaxson.

The first book THE WRONG BROTHER starred Gabby and Dane. Dane was Gabby's boss and she thought he was dating her best friend. Mia.  Mia was her best friend who begged her to see if her boyfriend was a cheater. Gabby went under cover and pretended to be his assistant while trying to see if he would cheat. But Mia was not dating Dane but his cheating brother, Champ. And Gabby was not an assistant but a cop and her partner was Jaxson, who has crushed on Mia for years. 

Now this is book 2 in the series and its where we get Mia's story and Jaxson gets his chance with Mia, after crushing on her for 9 years.

 Mia had a pretty tragic childhood. Her mother died of Cancer and she had a terrible father who abused her in all kinds of ways. In the end, she ended up killing her father to save Gabby. Jaxson has ALWAYS wanted Mia and in this story he finally gets a chance when they each are tasked with hosting party for Dane and for Gabby. Meanwhile Jaxson knows that Mia is very wishy washy about getting together and so he has to try and convince her to stick around.

This book also introduces some new characters that hopefully we will get to see in future books.

I LOVED the first book but while I enjoyed watching Dane and Gabby ride off in happiness, I had a hard time loving Mia, as she was into Jaxson but also trying to be distant with him too. He was all in and she was really not sure she was ready for everything he wanted.

What I did learn from this book was how childhood trauma can really affect an adult in their twenties in all kinds of relationships. In relation to Mia, it affected her relationship not only with Gabby but at work as well, and in her romantic history as well. 

I felt this book was interesting and I enjoyed meeting the characters but the plot was kinda vague. It was Jaxson trying to create a relationship with Mia and Mia trying to decide what she wanted to do, while they planned a party together and she hid so many things from Jaxson and Gabby. Jaxson also hid things from Gabby and from Mia.
