Tewanda at FAR gives Covet Four Angels!
Karen Erickson’s Covet is an erotic thrill from beginning to end. Jenny and Tyrone are dynamic characters that the reader will be able to relate to. Neither is willing to accept or settle for a relationship they do not want. While the physical relationship is intense, the two are unable to stop the emotional bonds that bind them together. I enjoyed that while Jenny and Tyrone came from different backgrounds they were able to find common ground.
Alisha at Two Lips Reviews Gives Covet Four and a Half Lips!
“Karen Erickson packs so much white hot sex into this short book that the story had ended before I was ready to let Jenny and Ty go. Covet is a juicy read worth savoring.”
Excerpt
“Fancy running into you here,” Ty said with a smile.
Oh my, he looked even better than he did in his everyday business suit attire. Black button up shirt, sleeves rolled up to reveal strong forearms and jeans that hugged his muscular thighs…Jenny shivered at the sight of him.
“Thank you for rescuing me,” she said. Her nipples pebbled beneath her dress and she wondered if he noticed.
“I’m just returning the favor from earlier today.” His gaze dropped to her chest and lingered there for a moment before it lifted to look at her face.
“Yes, of course.” No mistaking it, he noticed her hardened nipples.
“I’m beginning to think you’re following me.”
She cocked a brow at him, feeling brave outside of the office atmosphere. “Maybe I am.”
His dark eyes narrowed and he took a step closer to her. “I’m flattered.”
“Isn’t your sister with you?”
He flicked his head to the left. “She’s over there at a table with her boyfriend.”
“And is anyone else with you?”
Ty shook his head slowly, his gaze never leaving her face. “No.”
She smiled, her entire body relaxing. “Good.”
“Can I buy you a drink?”
“Please.”
He escorted her to the bar, his hand splayed across her lower back. Her dress dipped low and his fingers pressed against bare flesh, making her tingle. Crackling energy sparked between them as they stood close at the bar, waiting for their drinks.
“So you like jazz?”
Jenny nodded. “I like all kinds of music.”
“Have you ever been to a jazz club before?”
“Actually I have. But it’s been a long time.”
He was silent for a moment, his dark eyes warming, then flaring with heat. “I hate to say this, but I don’t remember your name.”
“That’s all right.” She paused, licked her lips to moisten them and noticed he watched every movement of her tongue. “My name’s Jennifer, but everyone calls me Jenny.”
“Nice to meet you, Jenny.” He grasped her hand in his, brought it up to his mouth and pressed a damp kiss to the back of it, his lips lingering.
Her knees went weak at the contact, and she gripped his hand tighter, squeezing it. He lowered her hand, but didn’t release it. Instead, he pulled her closer to him.
“So what’s a beautiful woman like you doing in a club like this on a Friday night all alone?” Ty dipped his head to speak to her, his mouth perilously close to her ear. Goose flesh pricked her skin everywhere, and she tilted her head back to look at him.
“Looking for you.” Her old boldness was coming back. In her previous life, she’d always been outspoken and almost brash, asking for what she wanted. Demanding it sometimes, and almost always getting it in the end.
His sensuous mouth quirked; his eyes widened and he dropped her hand. Did she shock him? She hoped she did.
“Now that you’ve found me, what do you plan on doing with me?”
She stood on tiptoe, rested her hands on his broad shoulders and whispered in his ear, “Whatever you want me to.”
