Her Kind of Man by Elle Wright Launch Day Blitz!
ABOUT HER KIND OF MAN
When Mr. Right is oh so wrong
I'll never let you go . . . Allina had always dreamed of hearing those words. But when her fiancé, Isaac, utters them, it isn't a promise-it's a threat. Scared and confused, with only moments before the wedding, Allina knows what she must do. Forget walking down the aisle; it's time to run. Back to Michigan. Back to Kent.
Kent has loved Allina for longer than he can remember. Out of respect for their friendship, he's never crossed the line, but when she turns up on his doorstep wearing her torn, tearstained wedding gown, the fire inside him ignites. He'll do whatever it takes to make Allina feel safe-like the beautiful, desirable woman she is. But as Kent and Allina grow closer, and their passion pushes deeper, it's clear that something bigger than a botched wedding still lingers between them . . .

Excerpt:
Allina got up
and carried her dishes over to the sink. She turned on the faucet and filled up
the basin with water. “I’m going to clean up and get ready to go to the store.”
He finished up
his plate and joined her at the sink. Not thinking, he dropped his mug into the
dishwater, splashing the soapy water on Allina. She screeched and stumbled
back. He reached for her, sensing she was getting ready to fall. Instead of
preventing her fall, she ended up pulling him with her and they both landed on
the floor, her on her back and him on his side.
“Ouch,” she
groaned from her where she lay on the tile. “That hurt.” She wiped her face and
pushed her hair back, leaving a few suds on her face.
He chuckled.
“That was . . . clumsy.”
She laughed
then. “It was crazy. How did I fall? There was no water on the floor.” She
pointed at him. “It was your fault.”
He grabbed her
finger. “It was not my fault you can’t stay on your feet.”
She flicked some
remaining soap on him. It was a running joke with their crew. Syd was
dramatic, Cali had no filter, and Allina was clumsy as hell. It didn’t matter
where they were or what they were doing, Allina always seemed to get hurt.
Before he knew
it, they were both laughing in earnest. She turned to him. “I needed this.”
He tucked a
piece of hair behind her ear. “Glad I could help. I’ve never met anyone who is
more accident-prone than you.”
She grinned, her
eyes gleaming. “Hey. Don’t say that.”
He stood up and
held out a hand to her. When she placed her tiny palm in his, he pulled her to
her feet.
Brushing off her
clothes, she murmured, “My body is al- ready sore from that run. Now my back is
throbbing.”
“Maybe you
should go lie down for a little bit before we go to the store,” he suggested.
“I have a heating pad some- where if you need it.”
She waved him
off. “I’m good.” Peering up at him, she smiled again. A wide grin. “I need to
keep moving.”
Kent observed
her. Her cheeks were flushed and her eyes dancing and he found himself inching
closer to her. A piece of her hair was stuck to her forehead and he pushed it
to the back.
“I must look
crazy,” she said, smoothing a hand over her hair.
One of the
things Kent found so attractive about Allina was her sultry, deep voice. She
talked like she was singing a lullaby. It was low, even, and sexy as hell. And
what made it even better was she had no idea it could have an effect on a man.
As if he had no
power or control to stop himself, he leaned closer. She peered up at him and
froze. Instead of retreating, she stayed where she was, her eyes on his.
The air changed
in that instant. He brushed her cheek with his thumb and she gasped. Their
noses were almost touching. He knew he should step back, walk away, but he
couldn’t. His body had a mind of its own.
His nose bumped
into hers. Her breath still smelled like the honey from her tea. It was warm
against his skin. He wanted to kiss her, more in that moment than ever before.
Then her lips brushed against his. It wasn’t a full-on kiss, but enough to make
him want more. He framed her face with his hands and kissed the corner of her
mouth, enjoying her sharp intake of breath. She squeezed his biceps, her nails
digging into the sensitive skin.
“Kent,” she
whispered. “Are you sure you want to do this?”
“Do you want me
to?” he asked, unable to keep his eyes off her mouth. It was amazing how one
simple touch had opened up the box that labeled them “very close friends.” He
imagined how it would feel to really taste her, to feel her tongue against his,
to touch her the way he wanted.
But then where
would that leave them? Confused and awkward around each other? Allina wasn’t
just any woman. He couldn’t do her first and ask the hard questions later, be-
cause she deserved better than that. They had never really talked about sex
with each other before, but knowing her the way he did, he figured she was
careful about who and what she did. Being with her, or even kissing her, was a
game changer. But, damn-it, I want to.
Sighing, he
stepped back. He scratched his head. “I’m sorry. This isn’t right. We better
get going.”
Then he left her
standing there in the kitchen.
Review:
This is the third instalment in the wonderful series by Elle Wright.
Throughout this novel, Allina wants to be happy. She wants to get married to a man, whom she dreams about and settle down with a family.
This story follows a good girl and a fairly bad and risky decision. You will quickly become consumed by the strength and love of the two main characters.
This novel shows and emotes all the feelings of love, both all consuming and heartfelt.
This novel was such a great read. I highly recommend reading it.
4/5 Stars!
ABOUT ELLE WRIGHT
Born and raised in Southeast Michigan near Ann Arbor, Elle learned the importance of reading from her mother. It was also her mother who, later on in her life, gave Elle her first romance novel: Indigo by Beverly Jenkins. From that moment on, Elle became a fan of Ms. Jenkins for life and a lover of all things romance. An old journal she wrote back in college became her first book (which she still wants to publish one day).
