I've been having really good luck with my challenge of reading more "new" or new "to me" authors lately. This was my first foray into Rina Kent's writing, and it most definitely won't be my last. This book was ALL kinds of awesome.

“Did you just smile?” Shadow considers me with wide eyes. The man witnessed and committed countless murders but never appeared so shocked.
“What’s wrong with that?” I say as we quicken our pace after our guy. He wouldn’t have gotten far.
“You never smile. Stop doing it. That look will haunt me in my daydreams.”
“You mean nightmares?”
“Same thing, mate.” He sprints ahead and rounds the corner.



“You won’t say ‘I don’t want you near other men’? I thought you would jump all over the opportunity.” “Nah.” His teeth graze my earlobe, then he whispers in a hot, dark tone, “I will kill other men if they come near you.” He would. I have no doubt this fucking crazy caveman would.

“Just give me a chance,” I press. “I will do anything.” His thumb glides from my pulse to my lips. I swallow. Tingles shoot down my spine and settle between my legs. The place where he touches me ignites in a thousand fires. What the hell is this reaction? And is my stupid mouth itching to open for him? I don’t get to decide. Julian parts my lips with his thumb and traces my lower lip in a slow, sensual touch. My legs weaken like I’ve just finished a long run. “Anything is a strong word Firefly. Don’t use it idly.”
“Let me protect you, Firefly. You don’t always have to be strong and put together. You can be weak and bare yourself with me. I would never judge you or use it against you.”

“Have I hurt you?” he whispers. He words are genuinely concerned, and that digs a deeper shared into my chest. “You’ve ruined me,” I confess, turning against him and burying my head in his hard chest. It’s pointless to run away anymore. Perhaps I never wanted to. “Good.” He kisses the top of my head long and deep and speaks against my skin, “Because you’ve ruined me, too, Firefly.”
