At the patio door, they both paused.“I should give you back the blanket.” Because she held Cupcake’s leash in one hand, she unwound the throw with her other hand, but it was too heavy and slipped out of her fingers.Reflexively, Matt stepped forward, bent and caught the fabric before it dropped to the ground. As he straightened, the blanket skimmed up her bare legs. Goosebumps chased the soft tickle of the throw.She was intensely aware of the breeze as it swirled between their two bodies. The heat coming off his body in the cool night air. The slight stubble highlighting the strength in his jaw, and the way his eyes were focusing on her face.He could kiss me.The thought came out of nowhere.As if he read her thoughts, his expression changed to one of intent. She stared at his lips, wondering how they would feel on her own. At the same time, her brain yelled she needed to walk away as fast as possible. But her body refused to move. His hand wove through her hair to pull her closer. She leaned in to him and closed her eyes.Praise for London Falling: “London Falling by Emma Carr was a book I just couldn’t put down.” ~ BarnesandNobleReview.com“This romantic, funny and original debut novel kept me up well into the night…” ~ chicklitclub.com
