The Start of Us (No Regrets, #0.5)
This was a great novella to begin the series... get ready to fall for Trey!!


“Harley,” I say in a low rasp. “If you tell me you want me to kiss you, I will.” 
She nods once and I thread my hands through her hair as she says, “I want you to kiss me, Trey.” 
The moment slows and I’m hovering inches from her. I force myself to take a beat, so I can recall this kiss when it’s over. Because I know it’s different than any other I’ve ever had. I want to savor every fucking second of her deliciousness. 
“I’ve wanted to kiss you ever since you walked into my store.” 
Then I curve my hand around her neck and brush my lips against hers.

A new adult story of First Times. Last Times. Connections. And No Regrets...

I only wanted a tattoo. A mark on my body to remind me of who I used to be. Something to hold onto when I started my penance for all the things I’d done wrong, the bad choices I’d made by the time I turned nineteen. Instead, I found a night of possibility, of truth, of hope for the future. And the most intense physical connection I’ve ever had. 

The only one I’ve ever had, and one I will never forget.

Trey...

When she walked into my tattoo shop, I knew she was like me. Harley had secrets. She had a messed-up past, and things she wanted to run from, or forget ever happened. I couldn’t let her go. So we agreed on one night – to spend it together wandering around the city, getting to know each other, the clock ticking because we knew tomorrow would bring an end to the possibility of an us.

Unless tonight was only the start.

How can one night be the start of something when tomorrow it has to end?

    That was awesome! I have this book but I haven't read it yet. I swear that phrase, I hate it but it's so true & so the story of my life. I have an insane amount of books and zero time to read them. But I'm so glad we have such similar taste in books. I saw you added Girl Lost on GR, I think you'll really like it, I did. It's almost the weekend :)

    I need to read this one! I love moments when they just slow down so that they can just take it all in and remember it.

    My Swoon is from Unusual Awakening by S.M. Knowles!

  9. I've never heard of this book but I have heard of Lauren Blakely! That must be an intense feeling, to want to kiss since seeing her enter the store ;D

    Yeah it was really good, I hope you get to it. Here's my review if you haven't seen it. The only thing I have to complain about is that I want more! I want the story to continue, you know when you can't get enough of a book. I'm having a great weekend, sleeping in & I hope to knock out some reviews.
