Synopsis: For Cohen Rodriguez, getting dumped by his girlfriend was bad enough. Being told he's “not impulsive enough” was just the cheap parting gift. Still, he takes a break from his über responsible ways and dates his way through Silver Strand. Except it's not exactly turning out the way he thought... On top of that, there's Maren Walshe, whose combination of sexy and down-to-earth is everything Cohen wants in a girl. But while they've recently been talking on the phone and texting every day, they've never actually met. Now Maren wants to meet. In person. Faced with turning his oh-so-safe fantasy girl into an uncertain reality, Cohen and Maren are both about to dive head first, ready or not.
My mind flips back
to a few hours before.
“Cohen,” she panted, her hips pumping up and down, her
gorgeous tits shaking with every bounce. “I’ll never forget you.”
I thought it was a
weird thing to say, but my mind wasn’t really focused on her words. I was
reaching up to feel the soft, full swell of those perfect tits. Sometimes
Kensley says crazy shit. She wants to be an actress, and she’s into
role-playing and all that, so I basically ignore most of what she says because
we both tend to get wild in the sack. I say lots of things no one who knows me
from work or general life would imagine me saying when I have a beautiful girl
in bed with me.
“Cohen.” She takes
my hand and looks up, every move so deliberate, it’s like she rehearsed it all.
Fuck.
“Last night was…
It was my way to say good-bye,” Kensley explains, her voice soft. Theatrically
soft. Like she’s gunning for best sympathetic breakup with a pathetic
boyfriend.
Double-fuck.
“Good-bye?” I
sputter. “Really? Good-bye? We looked at puppies last week. This week you’re
ready to say good-bye?”
“Let me go down on you,” she offered. It was a nice gesture,
but Kensley didn’t go down on me unless she was saying sorry or she wanted
something.
Since I wasn’t pissed at her, I asked, as she sank to
her knees, “What do you want, babe? I know a while ago you made that registry
at the jewelry store that friend of yours owns, but our anniversary is in a few
weeks. I promise, you’ll be happy.”
Her eyes flipped up to my face and she looked…guilty.
“Can’t I just do this to be nice?”
I wasn’t going to say no to that. “Of course. And
th-th-ank…good freaking God, Kensley.”
And then I didn’t say anything else, because my
girlfriend’s tongue was doing crazy, amazing things to my dick, and I wasn’t
about to stop that.
Review:
****4 stars****
****4 stars****
Maren Walshe has given up what she wants in
life to look after her alcoholic father. She has had to drop out of school and
work a couple of jobs to pay the bills. Her father is no help and they have to
live in a rundown apartment because that is all they can afford.
Cohen Rodriguez thought he had life figured
out; he had a beautiful girlfriend and an accounting degree that he hopes to
put to use. Life had other plans for him when his girlfriend breaks up with him
and he has to work at the family furniture store.
Maren and Cohen know each other, but only
through telephone calls through work. Both fantasize about what the other one
is like. They have an easy friendship over the phone lines.
When they finally meet, both are shocked to
find this inexplicable pull towards each other. They definitely have chemistry
but neither wants to chance ruining their friendship they have developed.
Because of Maren’s home life, she is scared
to bring Cohen into her life. She needs to take care of things herself.
Cohen is a problem solver but nature and he
isn’t going to let Maren suffer alone.
