#BlogTour | #Review: GROUPIE by C.M. Stunich + #Giveaway


Welcome to my #ReviewTS for
 Groupie by C.M. Stunich

Title: Groupie
Author: C.M. Stunich
Series: Rock-Hard Beautiful, #1
Publication Date: March 21st, 2017
Genres: New Adult, Romance

“Can one of these five rockstars fill the hole in my heart? Or will I stay broken forever?”

Young, dumb, and broke.

That’s what started everything. With five dollars in her pocket, and everything she owns stuffed in the back of her car, Lilith Goode’s life is over. Done. Destroyed.

Ten words. One text. That’s what it took to change the whole world.

A crumpled concert ticket. A chance encounter. That’s what it takes to start all over again.

Five rockstars. One girl. Six dark hearts, six withered souls.
But can one broken person really put another back together again?

#MyThoughts

This book is definitely something else. First, it is necessarily to clarify that it may not for everyone's taste so if you do not like rockstars-books with a lot of very explicit sex scenes then... yeah it may not be for you. Because being realistic, there is nothing bad with a couple of sex scenes but as I said this book is completely indescribable and it has a lot of explicit scenes where like six people are involved so... anyway, you could always give it a try and see if you like it because you may be surprised.

GROUPIE is full of emotions, it was a long time since I did not read a book where a lot of different personalities were involved and where they all were important for the book's development. Leaving aside -for now- the explicit scenes. Lilith is a character for whom life has not been pretty good in any sense, and she is kind of always sad which sometimes was not very good for me, yet when life seems to have changed for her, it is when everything goes up -I do not mean everything is rosy or whatever- but she has another perspective of what she wants to do with her life.

There are five other personalities which were unique. During this book we can see a lot of them which is fantastic because you get to understand why they are like this and why they act like they do. Their "friendship" with Lilith is... hard to describe. It is like they all have a similar connection with her, but then you realize they are not even alike.

And then we have the explicit scenes, I read them all and at the end they are nothing from the other world -not that I decided to read it because of them, but let's be honest I never expected she was going to be with the five guys at the same time because her personality did not give me that impression at first. Plus, I did not have the warning about she being with them all. Anyway, you are able to see that they all care about her, and that a couple of them may feel something else for her which sadly we are not able to see how it ends until of course next book -I hope.

Overall, it was a good reading, I really enjoyed even if it was a little hard to get along with it at first. As you can see there is more than just sex and these characters are able to show you that. I highly recommend it if you want to try a emotional book. And what more can I say? I am still a little affected by it, and I am, of course, looking forward to the next book.

Title: Play Your Heart Out
Author: Crystal Kaswell 
Series: Sinful Serenade #4
Publication Date:  May 24th 2016
Genres: New Adult, Romance

He parties like a rockstar.
She's there to make sure no one finds out...

Jess James has her eye on the prize. She is finding the money to pay for law school. Period. She is starting a new life on her own. Period. And she's absolutely staying in Los Angeles, three thousand miles away from the people who expect her to lie for them. It doesn't matter how lonely she gets on her own, how exhausted she is from working overtime as a cocktail waitress, or how deep the knife wound in her back cuts. She is going to be a lawyer, whatever it takes.

Only she doesn't have what it takes. She can barely afford to pay her rent.

Sinful Serenade bassist Pete Steele has enough to pay Jess's rent and buy her a small island in the Caribbean. The famous, talented rock star has everything... except the one thing his manager wants. Pete rose to fame as a devoted boyfriend. Doesn't matter that his ex slept with his best friend, he needs to stop screwing his way through Los Angeles to keep his reputation clean. Pete works hard, and parties harder... and the sweet, blond waitress is exactly the girl he needs on his arm if he wants to keep the record company happy.

Their arrangement is simple: he pays her tuition, she plays his girlfriend. They'll lie to the world, but not to each other. Especially not when they're alone, in his bed, him figuring out exactly which buttons to push to get her moaning his name.

Jess is good at keeping up appearances. She can play the enigmatic rock star's girlfriend. But Pete shouldn't play games with a girl who's been broken before...

REVIEW
** I received an ARC in exchange of an honest review **

I have read many many books about rockstars or just about boys/men being in a band —not necessarily worldwide-known— most of the time they're always the same... even if they have very different plots or characters themselves, but you know, despite everything I won't stop reading them.

This is my first book written by Crystal, it was a fantastic reading, and I don't think I made a mistake by not reading the three first book before Play Your Heart Out —I'll reading those anytime soon— but at the end I don't know if I would feel or think the same about Pete due to I didn't know exactly what had happened to him, there was a part where I was kind of angry at him for hurt —not in a bad way, but hurt— Jess's feelings, and I was really trying to understand him, and I got it when he finally opened his heart to Jess —and of course, me.

Crystal takes a girl who knows what she wants to do and to be plus a boy who's hurt and doesn't want people to enter. I would have liked the synopsis to be more intriguing —don't get me wrong, it captivated me and I was surely reading the book after reading it— but sometimes I like to get more surprises while I reading a book, in this case, I got a lot of them, but deep-down I'd have loved more.

Jess and Pete met in a... uncommon way, that's for sure; knowing what they want and what they have to promise each other —at least one of them really knows that— they come to an agreement, one that was supposed to work, because not feelings where allowed; but come on! Feelings are not something you can control, and the longer they spent together the more one of them fell —and really hard. But definitely what I liked most was the way they challenged each other to their furthest everything —Pete being who he was was always testing Jess's limits, and she was trying to get him to accept it.

As I said I'll reading the other books to know more about the other members of this famous band that I would have liked to know before. Overall, it was incredible, the plot made me be on the edge of my seat, that was a good thing; plus, Crystal's writing, how she gave turns —that I didn't expect— to the whole story, what can I say? It was an amazing base. 

Play Your Heart Out is a sexy, charmer-heartbreaker book —with a rock start who can't fight against his feelings anymore and a girl who's not disposed to stay where her feelings are not beloved. I highly recommend it to everyone who likes New Adult books or books where there are bands involved —or sexy rockstars, for the matter.
Book: +4.5 RockStar Romance stars
Why I can't give it five amazing stars? That's something I'll always wonder.

Review
GREAT READ !!! Owned was a great and interesting read. If you aren't of age I would be careful. There are a lot of sexually situation that people might not approve of. When I continued to read I couldn't put the book down! M.Never has out done herself and has made one for the ages. The story was inspirational and a nail bitter. On a scale of 1-10 I would give it an 9.5. I hope to see more great work from M.Never. This book was way better than fifty shades of grey ! and was very original. All in all I would definitely recommend this book.   
Meet the author!
M. Never resides in New York City. When she’s not researching ways to tie up her characters in compromising positions, you can usually find her at the gym kicking the crap out of a punching bag, or eating at some new trendy restaurant.

She has a dependence on sushi and a fetish for boots. Fall is her favorite season.

She is surrounded by family and friends she wouldn’t trade for the world and is a little in love with her readers. The more the merrier. So make sure to say hi!

Sometimes, all it takes…

Raynebeaux Starr's life is damn near perfect. She has wonderful friends. An interesting career. A man when she wants and none when she doesn't, thank you very much. But when tragedy strikes and she’s named guardian to her six year old niece, her world is turned upside down.

EXCERPT
Why had she flirted with him? Big mistake. But before she could stop, the words rolled out. And holy hell, he’d flirted back. Stronger than the force of gravity, temptation yanked Raynie’s brain like a tug-of-war rope.

He must have sensed her turmoil. “If you’d rather not go to together, that’s fine. I thought it’d be convenient since we’re going to the same place, but I can come on my own.”

She laid a hand on his forearm. “No. That’d be great. I was thinking of something else and got distracted.” You know, ripping off your clothes and screwing you into next Wednesday.

Raynie ran her tongue over her teeth to keep her lips from sticking to them, but she couldn’t work up a spit. Why did he show up and mess with her emotions? With those gorgeous eyes, hot body, and kind heart. She wasn’t supposed to get involved with guys like Father Sloan. Nuh-uh, no way. But since sharing the sunset with him, she’d been fighting a fierce attraction. Well, it’d been there from the beginning, but the logical side of her brain kept it in control. Now the stupid side was thinking way too much.

REVIEW: Slumber by Christy Sloat

I was given and ebook ARC of slumber by christy Sloat.  And in return I would post an Honest review of her work. So here it is.



Expert:

Not all princesses get their happily ever after...

They tell me I killed my boyfriend Phillip in cold blood. I stabbed him twenty one times. I’m only seventeen years old, and I am serving life in Spindle Ridge Asylum for the Criminally Insane.
I don’t remember killing him, so it’s really hard to believe I’m capable of murder. In fact I don’t remember anything before I came to Spindle Ridge, not even my boyfriend.
I can only grasp onto my realistic dreams while the madness of the asylum threatens to pull me under. I dream I’m a beautiful princess and there is an evil faerie named Maleficent who is bent on my destruction. The dreams are the closest thing I have to memories of my life, except they aren’t real.
I’m crazy. I’m not a princess.
They’re the mad illusions of an irrational teenage girl, right?
They’ve assigned me a new doctor, and she says I can trust her, and that she’ll help me see the truth of who I really am.
When she arrived she brought a new patient, Sawyer, who is everything Spindle Ridge isn’t: exciting, mysterious and beautiful. He promises he’s here to rescue me. Trusting either of them frightens me.
Could it be possible that my dreams are more than just the imaginings of a delusional girl? Could they be truth?

REVIEW: Slumber is an creative rewrite of sleeping beauty. At first I wasn't drawn into the story. But when I continued to read I couldn't put it down. The characters are so original that you forget it's based on sleeping beauty.  My favorite character hands down has to be Sawyer. That being said I would buy this book and also read it's sequel. Also the cover is beautiful and is what made me want to read this novel.

Blog Tour | Review: FORBIDDEN VALENTINE by J.C. Valentine + Excerpt + Giveaway



Title: FORBIDDEN VALENTINE
Author: J.C. Valentine
Series: Forbidden, #4
Genre: Adult, Contemporary Romance
Synopsis
It started with a drink.
It turned into a promise.
Ransom Scott lost his heart the day the woman he loved chose another man. Or so he thought. Estranged from his brother, distancing himself from the world, he’s been drowning his sorrows in cheap booze and women…determined to forget.
His world is falling apart, until a beautiful woman decides to take a chance on him.
Dani Deviche is as bewitching as she is innocent. Full of youth and vitality, she captivates him. Challenges him. She’s everything Ransom never thought to look for in the opposite sex, and he can’t get enough.
When a promise of friendship turns into something more, can Ransom fulfill his end of the bargain, or will a secret from Dani’s past destroy his last chance at happiness?

**Author’s Note** This book was written as a compliment to the Forbidden Trilogy. However, it can be read as a standalone.

EXCERPT

Standing in front of her full-length mirror, Dani had to work hard not to cry. As it was, she was misty-eyed. Her hair, pulled up on one side and secured by a pearled comb, hung in gentle waves down to her shoulders, framing her face, which was so flawless as to be porcelain. She’d never seen herself look that way, like a nineteen-twenties movie star. It was such a surreal moment, she wished she had a camera handy to remember the moment.

A soft tap on the door broke her from her ruminations, and Dani moved to open it. On the other side, Ransom stood looking like a wedding cake topper. Dressed in a slim-fitting black and white three-pieced suit sans tie and the first two buttons on his white collared shirt undone, he was simply mouthwatering.

Dani took a moment to just stand there and soak him in, wishing they didn’t have to leave so she could pull him inside and tear his clothes from his body and have her wicked way with him. He seemed to be thinking the same thing about her.

Licking his lips, Ransom’s eyes skated down her body, lingering on her breasts, then her waist, her legs, and back up to her breasts, then finally her face and hair. “Good God, Dani, you’re trying to give me a heart attack. You weren’t kidding about the dress. You look amazing.” His hands reached out and skimmed down her arms. When he reached her hands, he took hold of them and lifted her arm out to her sides, looking his fill. “You have no idea the things I want to do to you right now. If we didn’t have to go to this party…”

She laughed. “You must be a mind reader, because I was just thinking the same thing about you.” She made a slow perusal of him, giving him the same treatment he had her. “You look good enough to eat, Mr. Scott,” she purred, and delighted in the way his eyes flared with unbanked lust.

Gently, she extricated herself from his hold and turned to give him her back. Sweeping her hair over one shoulder, she said, “Zip me up?”

Taking a step closer, she could feel the tension that Ransom barely held checked, and it lit up her blood like nothing else. When his knuckles grazed her spine, Dani flinched with anticipation. Grasping the zipper, Ransom took his time zipping her into her dress, allowing the backs of his knuckles to ride over her sensitized skin inch by tantalizing inch.

Dani’s breathing turned labored the longer he dragged it out, teasing her into a lust-fueled haze that had her wishing that, by some stroke of luck, they’d get a reprieve from a party she no longer had any interest in attending. Staying in, wrapped in her boyfriend’s arms, their naked bodies entwined throughout the night, sounded much more enticing.

As the material pulled closed around her shoulder blades, Ransom’s lips found the back of Dani’s neck. He pressed gentle kisses along her vertebrae then across to her shoulder, the light scrape of his teeth tightening her nipples to painful points.

Dani’s core throbbed with need and her heart felt ready to burst. She closed her eyes, resting her head back on his shoulder and sinking back against his chest with a soft moan.

REVIEW
** I received an ARC copy in exchange for an honest review **

Forbidden Valentine is the fourth book in Forbidden Trilogy and the long-awaited conclusion of the same, but don't worry it can be read as a standalone novella —which I did, and also, this was my first book by J.C. Valentine, and for a first one, it let me wanting to read the others in this series, plus, her writing was a really great addition to my read, and she helps to understand those facts about Ransom’s past by filling out the blanks, so in a near future I’m reading more by her, because I do want to know more about Rebel as well.

If you don’t know Ransom —just like me— as a little/short introduction, now, after fell in love with the same girl just as his identical-twin brother did, he’s heartbroken; he distances from his family, friends, and of course, from his twin —what was the hardest thing to do, I think—, and goes through this situation living day by day, and getting blind drunk. In one of those days he meets a girl called Daniella, she’s really really smart, not kidding, she graduated from high school at fifteen and then two years at community and after two years more from college, and even when the making friends thing was hard for her because of the age different that always existed between she and her classmates, she may be a shy, and young girl, BUT she’s not innocent —at all.
“Are you sure? I thought you weren’t supposed to talk to strangers, let alone get into a car with one.”
“Do you have a candy?” she said with a laugh.
“I’m sure I can think of something to give you to suck on.”
After a night that doesn’t end how they both thought it would —however, not in a bad way—, Dani decides that she’s more concerned, and determined in helping him than trying to being in a real, serious relationship.

Dani and Ransom’s characters have an immediate connection and chemistry, even when at first he compares her with Josephine —the reason of his brokenheartedness, he quickly learns that she’s not just the girl who’s there to help him to forget and get over the girl he thought was the love of his life, she’s a lot more.

The happiness he didn’t know he can have, and others things he thought he was never going to have back, he finds them on Dani.

I truly, highly recommend this book, as I already said, not need to read the others, but there’s nothing bad if you do; Ransom’s character is sweet, sexy, and romantic. Their love story was a really good read and I felt absorbed by the book from the very beginning, it made me laugh, and cry, as always happens to me with a good book.

Why I don’t give it five stars? Maybe for you can be nonsense but this is because I did want to punch something, in this case, it was due to one of the character’s senseless, and I wanted to get some sense from it, well, basically it was being an idiot, and also, I felt that part a little forced, as if the author wanted to finish the book as faster as she could, maybe she just wanted to give Ransom’s happily ever after to those readers who wanted more of him, but anyway, I think the book was too short for my like.

All in all, you should read this one, do you like romance? You should read this. Like happy endings? You should read this. Like to read just for fun? You should read this one. And finally, it has explicit scenes, actually, one of my favorites was one of those, it was kind of funny!

And by the way, I love when they come in pairs!

EXCERPT

Twenty minutes later, they stood at her front door. Raynie told herself to talk about something. The cool night air. Crickets singing. The neighbor’s dog who came to Raynie’s yard every day to crap. How holding stress in caused constipation. Okay, she was reaching with those last two, but she couldn’t say what she really thought. How his dimples drove her nuts, or how much she wanted to kiss him. She squeezed the bag of cookies harder, then stepped back, but he moved with her. “Since your mom leaves tomorrow, why don’t I bring pizza for dinner?”

“I can’t. With her here, I’ve gotten behind with my readings, and since we have Saturday plans, I need to work.”

If she raised her head a little, their lips would only be inches apart. Heat settled between her legs. Smoke should billow from beneath her skirt. Or at least melt the chocolate in the cookies.

He put his fingers under her chin and tilted it up. She closed her eyes to protect herself from those deep blues. When nothing happened, she eased one lid open. He stared down at her, his expression dark and molten. Things clenched. Tightened. Tingled. Curled. So many emotions at once, her knees gave way.

Love is one dare neither of them can take...Arabella Stone, Nashville’s darling, is eager to shuck her prim-and-proper rep, and a few wild months spent checking items off her “ summer bucket list” is the way to do it. First up: kiss the man she’s crushed on since she wore a training bra, the bad boy of country himself, Blue bassist Charlie Tucker.

For Charlie, a beautiful woman flirting with him isn’t out of the norm—but a beautiful woman bolting after the hottest kiss of his life sure is. And when he finds out his kiss-and-run Cinderella is none other than Arabella Stone, daughter of his label’s CEO, he knows he’s in trouble. Because not only is she a Stone, she’s also his employee for the next few months at the recording studio he just bought.

Over the course of one thrilling summer, Arabella and Charlie chip away at her list, but once it ends, so does their time together.

#EXCERPT


What would Charlie think, if he came in here and saw her like this? Would he approve of the way her body looked? Her small breasts, long legs, decent collarbone, and slightly jiggly behind? Or would he be disappointed?

Would she measure up to the scores of women he’d seen this way over the years?

Arabella’s mind wandered, imagining him suddenly appearing behind her in the mirror. He wouldn’t be shocked. No, he’d be turned on, his eyes molten and hungry, devouring her. He wouldn’t be able to stand still, either; he’d step up behind her and knock her hands away, replacing them confidently with his own. 
 
A moan escaped. It echoed off the glass and the basin, and Ella’s head fell back, envisioning his rough, calloused palms molding her breasts, his fingers plucking the tips. Heat exploded under her skin as she imagined his golden eyes hooded and filled with sin.

“You ready, darlin’?”

Ella’s head snapped up as her heart leaped into her throat.

“Arabella? You about ready to go?”

Charlie’s heavy footsteps clomped down the hall, and in a panic, she slammed the bathroom door shut, her heart pounding in her ears. “Uh…just a minute!”

Those heavy footsteps stopped just outside the door, two seconds away from getting a shocking show, and Ella frantically spun around looking for something—anything—to cover herself with. Her gaze landed on the pink fingertip towel she’d hung near the sink, thick and lush, and far away from its matching larger friends who were stupidly waiting for her inthe hallway linen closet. Way to go, Ella!

“H-how did you get in here?”

“Uh, I own the place, remember?” Normally, his low chuckle would’ve twisted her insides into goo, but now it only heightened her awareness of her supreme nakedness. “I’ve got a spare key…not that I needed it,” he added, shifting his feet, “since the front door was wide open. I did knock, though.” He paused for a second before adding, “Sorry to barge in.”

She heard what he didn’t say—that Ella had been barging her happy butt into his side of the duplex all week, assuming that as long as no women were around (which strangely enough, there never were) it wasn’t that big of a deal. And from what she could tell, it hadn’t been; Charlie hadn’t said so much as a peep. Which meant she was being a big fat hypocrite.

A very naked, slightly cold, incredibly freaked-out hypocrite.

WHITNEY G.


Title: Reasonable Doubt
Author: Whitney G. 
Publication Date: March 31, 2014 
Genres: Contemporary, Erotic, Romance
SYNOPSIS

My cock has an appetite.
A huge and very particular appetite: Blonde, curvy, and preferably not a fucking liar…(Although, that’s a story for another day.)
As a high profile lawyer, I don’t have time to waste on relationships, so I fulfill my needs by anonymously chatting and sleeping with women I meet online.
My rules are simple: One dinner. One night. No repeats.
This is only casual sex. Nothing more. Nothing less.
At least it was , until “Alyssa”…
She was supposed to be a 27 year old lawyer, a book hoarder, and completely unattractive. She was supposed to be someone I shared law advice with late at night, someone I could trust with details of my weekly escapades.
But then she came into my firm for an interview–a college-intern interview, and everything fucking changed…



Reasonable Doubt Volume #1
Prologue

Andrew

New York City is nothing more than a shit-filled wasteland, a dump where failures are forced to drop all their broken dreams and leave them far behind. The flashing lights that shined brightly years ago have lost their luster, and that fresh feeling that once permeated the air—that hopefulness, is long gone. 

Every person I once considered a friend is now an enemy, and the word “trust” has been ripped from my vocabulary. My name and reputation are tarnished thanks to the press, and after reading the headline that The New York Times ran this morning, I’ve decided that tonight will be the last night I ever spend here.

I can’t deal with the cold sweats and nightmares that jerk me out of my sleep anymore, and as hard as I try to pretend like my heart hasn’t been obliterated, I doubt that the agonizing ache in my chest will ever go away. 

To properly say goodbye, I’ve ordered the best entrées from all my favorite restaurants, watched Death of a Salesman on Broadway, and smoked a Cuban cigar on the Brooklyn Bridge. I’ve also booked the penthouse suite at the Waldorf Astoria, where I’m now leaning back on the bed and threading my fingers through a woman’s hair—groaning as she slides her mouth over my cock.

Teasingly darting her tongue around my tip, she whispers, “Do you like this?” as she looks up at me.
I don’t answer. I push her head down and exhale as she presses her lips against my balls, as she covers my cock with her hands and moves them up and down.

Over the past two hours, I’ve fucked her against the wall, forced her to bend over a chair, and pinned her legs to the mattress while I devoured her pussy.

It’s been quite fulfilling—fun, but I know this feeling will only last for so long; it never stays. In less than a week, I’ll have to find someone else. 

As she takes me deeper and deeper into her mouth, I tightly tug her hair—tensing as she bobs her head up and down. Pleasure begins to course its way through me, and the muscles in my legs stiffen—forcing me to let go and warn her to pull away.

She ignores me.

She grips my knees and sucks faster, letting my cock touch the back of her throat. I give her one last chance to move away, but since her lips remain wrapped around me, she leaves me no choice but to cum in her mouth.

And then she swallows.

Every. Last. Drop.

Impressive…

Finally pulling away, she licks her lips and leans back against the floor.

“That was my first time swallowing,” she says. “I did that just for you.”

“You shouldn’t have.” I stand and zip my pants. “You should’ve saved it for someone else.”

“Right. Well, um…Do you want to order some dinner? Maybe we could eat it over HBO and go at it again afterwards?”

I raise my eyebrow, confused. 

This is always the most annoying part, the part when the woman who previously agreed to “One dinner. One night. No repeats.” wants to establish some type of imaginary connection. For whatever reason, she feels like there needs to be some type of closure conversation, some bland reassurance that’ll confirm that what just happened was ‘more than sex,’ and we’ll become friends.

But it was just sex, and I’m not in need of any friends. Not now, not ever. 
 
“No, thank you.” I walk over to the mirror on the other side of the room. “I have someplace to be.”

“At three in the morning? I mean, if you just want to skip the HBO and go for another round instead, I can…”

I tune out her irritating voice and begin to button my shirt. I’ve never spent the night with a woman I met online, and she isn’t going to be the first.

As I adjust my tie, I look down and spot a tattered pink wallet on the dresser. Picking it up, I flip it open and run my fingers across the name that’s printed onto her license: Sarah Tate.

Even though I’ve only known this woman for a week, she’s always answered to “Samantha.” She’s also told me—repeatedly, that she works as a nurse at Grace Hospital. Judging by the Wal-Mart employee card that’s hiding behind her license, I’m assuming that part isn’t true either. 

I look over my shoulder, where she’s now sprawled across the bed’s silk sheets. Her creamy colored skin is unmarred and smooth; her bow shaped lips are slightly swollen and puffy.

Her green eyes meet mine and she slowly sits up, spreading her legs further apart, whispering, “You know you want to stay. Stay…”

My cock starts to harden—it’s definitely up for another round, but seeing her real name has ruined any chance of that for me. I can’t stand to be around anyone who’s lied to me, even if she does have double D tits and a mouth from heaven. 

I toss the wallet into her lap. “You told me your name was Samantha.”

“Okay. And?”

“Your name is Sarah.”

“So what?” She shrugs, beckoning me with her hand. “I never give my real name to men I meet on the internet.”

“You just fuck them in five star hotel suites?”

“Why do you suddenly care about my real name?”

“I don’t.” I glance at my watch. “Are you spending the night in this room or do I need to give you cab money to get home?”

“What?”

“Was my question unclear?”

“Wow…Just, wow…” She shakes her head. “How much longer do you think you’ll be able to keep doing this?”

“Keep doing what?”

“Chatting someone up for a week, fucking her, and moving on to the next. How much longer?”

“Until my dick stops working.” I put on my jacket. “Do you need cab fare or are you staying? Check out is at noon.”

“Do you know that men like you—relationship avoiders, are the type that typically fall the hardest?”

“Did they teach you that at Wal-Mart?”

“Just because someone from your past hurt you doesn’t mean that every woman after her will.” She purses her lips. “That’s probably why you are the way you are. Maybe if you tried to actually date someone you’d be a lot happier. You should take her out for dinner and actually listen, see her to her door without expecting an invitation inside, and maybe bypass the whole ‘let’s go fuck’ in the hotel suite thing at the end.”

Where are my keys? I need to go. Now.
“I can see it now…” She can’t seem to shut up. “You’re going to want more than sex one day, and the person you want it from is going to be someone you least expect. Someone who will force you to give in.”

I pull my keys from underneath her crumpled dress and sigh. “Do you need cab money?”

“I have my own car, dick-face.” She rolls her eyes. “Are you really this incapable of having a regular conversation? Would it kill you to talk to me for a few minutes after sex?”

“We have nothing more to discuss.” I put my room key on the nightstand and walk toward the door. “It was very nice meeting you, Samantha, Sarah. Whatever the hell your name is. Have a great night.”

“Screw you!”

“Three times was more than enough. No, thank you.”

“Things are going to catch up to you one day, asshole!” She yells as I step into the hallway. “Karma is one hell of a bitch!”

“I know.” I toss back. “I fucked her two weeks ago…”
