A Carolina
Beach Novel by Cecy
Robson, tells the story of what happens when
all is lost
and then you find the one. Neither
Luci nor Landon planned on each other, and
they definitely didn’t plan on love in this New
Year’s Eve, one-night stand
romance. Fans of
FLIRTING WITH FIRE by Kate Meader and HOT
SHOT by Kristen
Callihan won’t be able to
put down this emotional and heartfelt read.
After months of bad
luck and even worse men,
Luciana Diaz just wants to crawl under the covers
and
forget the year ever happened. Her friend
has other plans, convincing Luci to
attend a New
Year’s Eve party on the affluent shores of Kiawah
Island.
Luci never expected
to have fun. She also never
expected to wake up next to a man she just met,
or
for this man to be the new attorney at her firm.
Landon Summers is
done with drama. After an
ugly separation and even worse divorce, he has
no
desire to jump into another relationship.
When his sister
Trinity drags him to a New Year’s
Eve party, he doesn’t plan to stay long. One
drink, a few hellos, and he’s out. Until he meets
Luci, the first person in
months to draw his smile
and incite his passion.
Neither Luci nor
Landon planned on each other,
and they definitely didn’t plan on love. But the
New Year means a fresh start, and eternal
possibilities neither could deny…
Absolutely stunning!
This book was a wonderful love story.
So expertly written and so beautifully
done. It had this
wonderful flow to it and I had a hard time putting it down.
This is a contemporary romance and I. Cannot wait to read
more.
This is Landon and Luci's
story. And I love how they met and
how they were pushed together. Unbeknownst
to them.
Landon is suffering from a lost marriage and his ex is just
wow. And
when he meets Luci it is amazing. She is special
as she is that sweet and
helpful person. I felt so bad for her
with Ferrnie and how she tried so hard to
take care of her.
I wish it turned out differently but may have been the best
outcome,
but at least Landon was there for her. And his crazy
family was there to even
his nutso sister they were a hoot.
I laughed so much with how they were. I so
can't wait to read
Trin's story which is book on and out, and more in the
series.
Now before I ruin
this for you I will leave off here. I hope you
enjoy this book as much as I
did. If you do like this book,
please consider leaving a review. The Authors
really like it
when you do; they value your opinions too

That smile that faded in Blythe’s presence returns. I ease my way out of
the bathroom and return to the kitchen, but Landon is gone. So is my purse and
our drinks.
My heart falls to my belly, only for it to quicken when a hand presses
tenderly against the small of my back. “Are you hungry?” Landon asks. He
motions to the corner where a set of heavy curtains sway in the breeze. “I
figured with all that we’re drinking, we should get something to eat.”
“That would be lovely,” I say, realizing how much I mean it.
He passes me my clutch and leads me forward, a server slips out from behind
a curtain with an empty tray, nodding Landon’s way. As he passes, Landon slips
something into his palm. “Thank you, sir,” the young man tells him.
Landon smiles when I look up at him. “After you,” he says.
He parts the curtain, allowing me into a small terrace surrounded by tall
glass dividers that repels the wind and allows a magnificent view of the ocean.
There’s not much room, the space only large enough for a rectangular fire pit
radiating with turquoise glass and a small table with two chairs. To our right
people laugh from a larger more open terrace a level down. They can’t see us
well, and I don’t really care to see them.
Our beers are placed beside two empty plates, along with two unopened
bottles of water. At the center, there’s a large plate filled with food. “Becca
likes to eat breakfast out here when she’s home. But she’s not using it and I
didn’t want to waste the view.”
“It’s amazing,” I say, taking in the splendor.
I didn’t expect to see the ocean this far into the shore, especially at
night. But with moon as bright and as low as it is, its light spills across the
waves, illuminating the water and casting a glow along the sand.
Landon pulls out my chair. “I wasn’t sure what you liked, so I asked the
staff to bring a little of everything.” He pauses. “You’re not one of those
crazy vegans are you?” I laugh. “If you are, I can ask them for some of that
crazy vegan food you people like to eat.”
“My people like everything,” I assure him, watching him take a seat in
front of me.
“Good,” he says. “So do good ol’ Southern boys.”
We spend an outrageous amount of time talking, and even more simply gazing
at each other, smiling softly when the words don’t quite come, and laughing when
they finally do.
It’s only when Rihanna’s Love on the Brain begins to play that Landon tears
his attention away from me and back in the direction of the party. “Don’t you
hate it when everyone is dancing, and you have no one to dance with?” he asks.
I glance down, playing with the fabric of my skirt. “I think it’s worse
when the wrong person asks you, and you’ve been waiting for the right one.”
“Oh, yeah?” He grins when I nod. “I suppose I should ask you, before the
wrong person gets his chance.”
He doesn’t really ask. He doesn’t need to. I place my hand in his when he
opens his palm.
He pulls me up and into him, wrapping his arms securely around my waist as
mine circle his neck. He smiles as he looks down and meets my eyes. I return
it, losing myself in his stare.
We move to the beat as if we’ve danced a hundred times, despite what I’m
feeling is a slew of firsts.
The first time his hard body presses against mine.
The first whisper of his breath against my skin.
The first touch that has no inkling of innocence.
And the first stroke of desire.
His hands slide to my hips as the bass pounds deeper, craving more. “It’s
almost midnight,” he rasps against my bare shoulder.
I shudder as his lips graze over my skin, not quite touching, trailing
lightly just enough to tease. “Almost,” I agree.
The allure in his voice robs me of air. “I didn’t plan on having anyone to
kiss.”
I almost reply, but the way Landon’s mouth hovers over the sweep of my neck
keeps me silent, as does the way he draws an invisible line to my ear with his
lips.
My heart thuds mercilessly as I wait for his next words.
“But I guess I didn’t plan on you either,” he murmurs, each word softly
tortured.
His mouth feathers over mine as the song ends and the countdown to New
Year’s begins, opening and closing tentatively, giving me a chance to pull
away.
I don’t. I can’t. Not with how good he feels and not with the way his body
curls protectively around me.
Urgent voices and anxious steps echo from inside as people rush to find
partners to kiss as the countdown reaches ten.
Landon and I aren’t waiting. His tongue dives deep, prodding me
possessively and taking me deep.
He grips my hips tighter, pulling me closer, turning the sweet, tentative
kiss passionate and daring.
I’m no longer simply kissing him, I’m moaning.
And I’m not alone.
A rumble builds in his throat, ending in a long, dragged out groan.
My body trembles with need, responding and following the rough caress of
his palms along my spine.
The clock strikes twelve, people are cheering, bottles of champagne are
exploding, and the ocean waves crash harder against the shore. I barely hear
them. I only see Landon as he pulls away, his breaths labored like mine, his
intensity welding me in place.
