Your Arms (For Your Love, #2) . . .
This time around the O’Malley’s offer
me bad boy Sean and his motorcycle riding, tight jean wearing, sexy shaggy
hair, and deliciously wicked eyes take center stage. Emma had to make a change
and she choose to make that change with a new job and a new outlook on men. She
could do without the bad boy. That was even true of the one that happen to come
to her rescue. But of good measure and to make sure she was on the right path.
She decided to give it one last go for it. Then just walk away. Or at least
that was what she thought.
I enjoyed this more than the first
introduction to the O’Malley family. Honestly, I thought I would not want to
have anything to do with a family that would hang the own out to dry without
even hearing all the details. Well, I was wrong. Sean was so much more than
expected and Emma had a lot to offer and to accept. Both had a bit of the rebel
inside. I watched as each of the two grew in different ways but as complement
to the situation they found themselves in.

A
KNIGHT IN SHINING LEATHER…
Sean
O'Malley has never tried to hide who he is. He shows it in the motorcycle
thrumming between the legs of his tight jeans…the shaggy hair that falls in his
gorgeous eyes…the wicked gleam in his smile when he asks Emma out for a drink.
Sean is a rebel, a bad boy, and a ton of fun: exactly the kind of guy she's
sworn off forever.
Emma
isn't just the prim kindergarten teacher she appears to be. And somehow Sean
can tell. As soon as he pulls up to her overheated car he knows that a fast
bike and a cold beer will fix her rotten day better than compliments or a
bubble bath. Her straitlaced exterior and her wild heart light him up. But Emma
wants to escape her past and settle down—and if her desk jockey dates don't
understand where she comes from, at least she doesn't worry about them bringing
her back.
One
weekend of intense connection can't change the paths Sean and Emma have chosen.
But with a little space to be themselves together, maybe the rest of the world
can wait...

He
took the quickest shower possible and ran his hands through his hair. Back in
his bedroom, Emma sat in the same spot on his bed, scrolling through her phone.
“Telling
all your Facebook friends about the great guy you met?”
She
looked up and around the room. “Who would that be?”
He
grabbed his chest. “You wound me.” He keeled over on the mattress.
She
poked him with her foot. “Seriously, as great as you are—and compared to some
guys I’ve known, you’re ranked near the top—but I don’t do Facebook.”
Sean
let her words sink in. She hadn’t talked much about herself last night; neither
of them had. Hearing how he compared to her past boyfriends or hookups, or
whatever, helped. “Near the top, huh?
I’ll have to see what I can do about that.”
She
smiled.
“You’re
really not on Facebook? I’ve never met a girl who wasn’t.” Hell, most girls
couldn’t wait to log on and change their status. They went straight from
meeting to “in a relationship” within a night.
She
shrugged. “I used to be. Then a couple of years ago, my college adviser pointed
out that principals and eventually parents would be looking up my social
media.”
“So?”
“My
mom has a habit of posting some inappropriate stuff. Stuff I wouldn’t want my
boss to see. Or the parents of my kids.”
“If
you’re not on Facebook, what are you doing? Sending out messages for a rescue?”
He sincerely hoped not. He didn’t think he’d done anything to warrant a rescue
call.
“I
was on Pinterest.”
“Huh?”
She
turned her phone to face him. “It’s a virtual bulletin board. I collect recipes
of stuff I want to try. Sometimes books.”
He
took the phone and scrolled. “Yeah, shirtless dudes are really recipes. Aren’t
you worried about your boss seeing that?”
She
reached for her phone, but he pulled it away.
Emma
slumped back, not engaging in his game. “I guess you didn’t notice the words
‘secret board’ above that one. No one can see that board or what I have pinned
to it except me.”
He
handed her the phone. When she took it, he whipped off his shirt.
“Want
a picture for your secret board?” He flexed and posed, and Emma doubled over
laughing. “What are you saying? That even though I’m better than the losers you
know, I can’t compete with your eye candy?”
She
laughed harder, and Sean felt like he’d accomplished something. If he got
nothing else done for the day, this would be enough. He’d seen her smile, which
was pretty great, and she’d snarked at him jokingly, but her laugh was fantastic.
With
a hand on her chest, she inhaled deeply. Then she raised her phone. “Hold
still.” And she snapped a picture of him.
“Wait.
I can do better than a sneak shot.” He crawled closer, straddling her
outstretched legs as he did. He lifted an eyebrow. “How about a smolder?”
Another
peal of laughter had him joining in and almost falling on top of her. He
couldn’t remember the last time he’d laughed so hard with a girl, especially in
bed. It was a good feeling. Sean rolled next to her and they caught their
breath, sides touching, and even though they were both fully clothed, something
sparked between them. God, he loved it when the chemistry was hot.
