Excerpt:
Without warning, his lips crash into mine. At first I fight it, pushing hard against his chest, but he tastes like whiskey. Woodsy and smoky like a campfire, matching the intensity of his kiss. He melts away my anger with his mouth, leaving days’ worth of unrealized sexual tension in its wake.
        He tastes.
        I lean into him.
        He sucks.
        My knees go weak.
        He isn’t something I wanted. Not three weeks ago. Not even three minutes ago. But as his hands slide up my back, coming up to circle my neck, I’m drowning in want. He tilts my head back to allow himself better access. My tongue tangles with his. Never in a million years did I envision this … how much pleasure I would feel from a simple touch. I guess sometimes we have to have our desires at our fingertips to realize their true depth.
        When his lips leave mine, his hands stay. We went from one extreme to another so quickly … I’m not sure what will happen when he pushes the brakes. His face is close, like he wants to kiss me again, but his hands fall away from me instead.
        “Don’t—”
        One step back.
        “Ever—”
        Another step.
        “Let me—”
        Another step. His back hits my bedroom wall.
        “Do that again.”
        As he exits the room, I’m left wondering what the heck just happened. That kiss took all the cells in my brain and tangled them. I never imagined this, and I hate to admit it but I liked it.

Book Summary
Lies Unspoken (Flawed Love #1)
lies unspoken cover.jpg
Blurb
I tried hard not to fall for the bad guy.

My new roommate, Blake, is a jerk—an unemployed artist with a chip on his shoulder. I can’t stand him unless his hands are on me. He makes me desperate for him, and everything he makes me feel.

And then there’s my new boss, Pierce--successful, charming, and extremely good-looking. He goes after what he wants, but what does he see in me?

I try to stay away, but I end up in the arms of exactly who I was hiding from. And when I find out what’s being hidden from me, my heart twists in ways it never should.

I thought I knew him.
I didn't.
The way he kissed me.
The way his hands traveled every inch of my skin.
I thought it meant something, but as it turns out, it was all lies unspoken.

~ Marlene's Review ~
My Synopsis:
Lila is running from heartbreak. She’s looking to start over and decides that Chicago may be the answer. While on flight to her new home, she meets a devastatingly handsome business man that may be the answer to her future career. Once arriving at the apartment that she is borrowing from a friend, she comes face to face with an unexpected roommate. From that point on, her world is filled with passion, uncertainty, and more heartache than she could have ever imagined.

Blake is the unexpected roommate that Lila now has to deal with. He is moody, intense, and sexy as sin. He will rock your world, but will never give you his heart. He is an artist and will run off to paint away his anguish when life gets too much to handle. With a tortured past and an unwillingness to commit to anyone, he obviously begins to struggle when unwanted feelings surface for Lila.

Pierce is the gorgeous businessman that Lila met on the plane. He hires her at his company, not only because he thinks she may have potential, but because he has an instant attraction to her. Unfortunately for him, Blake stands in the way of his plans to conquer Lila. Pierce also has a tortured past and that past includes Blake.

My Thoughts:
This is my first read by Lisa De Jong. I loved her writing style and her ability to pull me into the story. This book brought me through a variety of emotions. I felt the chemistry, the passion, and all the heartache. These characters made me feel angry at times too. I wanted to devour Blake, and then slap him, and then hug him and never let him go. Lila was sometimes frustrating and seemed weak, but I think she was just lost in her own emotions and not making decisions with a clear mind. I sort of wanted Pierce to be less understanding, but he is a mature and forgiving man that knows when the timing just isn’t right.

This journey is definitely far from over. This installment ends in a cliffhanger that leaves you aching for a happily ever after. I highly recommend this read to anyone that loves angst, hot sex scenes, and a roller coaster of emotion.
