5 Smooches!
Synopsis
This isn’t just a two-year long one-night stand. It’s my life.
This is my life. Our life. It isn’t just some careless affair.
I’ve made the worst decisions a woman could, but I’ll earn my second chance.
She can try keeping all the guilt for herself, but I’m just as much to blame.
Loving Casey wasn’t my biggest mistake. Fighting it for so long was.
I’ll show her how fearless our love makes me. I’ll protect her torn heart.
He still has magic in his eyes. He’s the man who makes me happy.
Her voice still brings me to my knees. She says my name like it’s sacred.
I live for the day when I’m his. To take care of him. To love him the way he deserves.
I can’t wait to be all she needs. I can give her a happy life, security and so much love.
Sometimes two ships never meet in the night, but ours did.
Sometimes the water is rough. It beats you all to hell until you have no choice but get stronger.
Our love story reads more like a tragedy, but to me it’s clean and pure.
Let them point their fingers. Without a love like ours, they haven’t really lived. I pity them.
I’m a cheating wife and a villain. I am his honeybee.
I’m a snake in the grass and I sleep best when I’m lying next to his wife.
I want to be his everything.
I’m nothing without her anyway.
This isn’t even close to over.
It’ll never be over.
Review
If you read Bait, the first book in this amazing series by M. Mabie, then I know you have been chomping at the bit for more of Blake and Casey’s story. I know I have. Bait left us with a huge cliff hanger. I wanted Casey to get his happily ever after more than anything in the world and I was left just salivating for Sail. As soon as it appeared on my kindle, I devoured it. I stayed up late into the night with Casey. I just could not put this book down.
We were both sinners and the truth of that hurt. But having her in my arms, her mouth on mine, I couldn’t understand how I’d ever be forgiven. And I didn’t want to be.
Sail picks up right where Bait leaves off and I am happy to report that I did not hate Blake nearly as much this time around. She actually makes much better decisions this book, but so does Casey and I think that makes all the difference.
“I’m done pretending you’re not mine and I’m not hours. Because we are. We always have been. Our hearts just got there before the rest of us.”
Sail is really about Casey and Blake finally coming together. About their “coming out”. About them both being firm in their resolve to be together. About how no one will stop them this time.
“I won’t give up on us.”
I certainly do not want to ruin this book for anyone, so I will tell you that you get a lot of Casey and Blake dating, vacationing, and just being together. I certainly did miss my Casey. He is just too sweet, passionate, and hilarious. Like Blake, I never stood a chance.
“Those curls. That smile. Had I really thought I’d ever not want him? I’d been crazy even trying to resist.”
Now, I am going to talk about Blake for a second. She doesn’t get the accolades that Casey does because sometimes she makes me so very angry but in Sail I felt she redeemed herself somewhat. I found myself feeling proud of her. Honeybee has come a long way since the beginning of Bait and she might just be good enough for our Casey now, ladies!
“I don’t want just one song to remind me of you. I want every song to be out song. I want every song we dance to be ours to keep. I want thousands of songs with you, Casey.”
Ahh..it was almost too much. The sexy times, the sweet words, the hilarious text messages. So many damn feels. Just so many. That is ultimately was M. Mabie specializes in, if you ask me. FEELS. She is damn good at them. Her writing is so incredibly emotion provoking. I often find myself carried away reading her books; laughing, crying, and smiling before I catch myself. Reading this series has been heart-rending. Especially the end of this book. Where the action and sadness came straight out of nowhere. I guess I sort of saw something big coming but never expected it to all to go down like it did. I think you will be shocked too. I cannot wait for more of Casey and Blake’s story. These two wormed their way right into my heart. Especially Casey. He is one of my top, very special book boyfriends.
