4 Smooches
Synopsis
The exciting conclusion to Pushing Limits (Fighting Love Book 1)
New town? New life? Yeah, none of it was easy for Amber Turner, but meeting Tommy Bolt changed that. He healed the old wounds and made this callous, sarcastic girl believe in love again. Believe that she could be loved for something more than just a prop or a mirror image of someone else. That she could be seen, really seen, and loved despite her flaws. But one stupid mistake and one huge misunderstanding left her heart broken into tiny shards of glass. After weeks of waiting to hear from Tommy, she texts Tommy asking him to let her explain.
She got nothing. Crickets. Nada.
Not one text or even a simple phone call telling her they were done. Who does that?
After weeks of moping, her friends try to lift her spirits and help her to move on, but she still struggles with the memory of him. That boyish smile complete with dimples that come out to play, his hard body, the way he could make her body sing, and his sparkling sapphire eyes. Nothing about Tommy is easily forgotten. Amber is confronted with new choices as some old secrets come back to haunt her, threatening to destroy everything she ever believed about herself.
Review
Pushing Boundaries picks up from the end of the first book Pushing Limits where Amber is storming out of the club, desperate to get away from Tommy, the boy who broke her heart when he wouldn’t listen to her and asked for space which led to him not contacting her for weeks on end. But Tommy isn’t about to let Amber go and they both want to give the relationship another go. However with the evil bitch that is Lily who has been tormenting Amber since she moved there, as well as Amber’s mother and the drama that is college life, it’s not going to be an easy ride for Amber and Tommy by any means.
Having read the first book and enjoyed it, I looked forward to starting the second and it didn’t disappoint.
Amber is a fierce as ever. I loved her strong personality in the first book and she carries on with it in this one as well. She is fiery, flirty, confident and doesn’t back down. A really strong female lead.
Tommy is as ever the sexy southern charmer, with a filthy mouth that I love and his dirty side mixed in with his southern charm is one of the best combinations for a very fine book boyfriend. When he says the word darlin’ and I imagine it in the southern accent, I melt a little inside.
“Nothing sexier than a women who knows her own body”
Sex is a very big part of this story and sometimes too much sex can get a little tedious if it’s not meant to be an erotica, however with this book the sex scenes were beyond hot! Tommy with his dominant behaviour and Amber with her self confidence made for explosives scenes between the two. I loved how they were both so confident with their own bodies and each other. My only slight issue was how many times they called each other baby during sex, it felt like it was in nearly every line they spoke to each other and was just a bit too repetitive for me.
“I have a hard-on for fine looking women, especially spitfires.”
The plot line was good, it wasn’t amazing but was what I expected from this book going in. It starts off focusing mainly on Tommy and Ambers relationship and how that develops, like her meeting his family (who I absolutely loved) and the drama of his ex-fiancé coming into the picture (this author really does conniving, jealous and mean ex’s really well and I love a little bitchiness in my books.)
There were other story lines which kept me hooked like everything with Amber’s mother and who was attacking the girls at the college. I didn’t mind these different aspects of the story as they are all what kept it interesting and wanting to keep turning the pages so I could find the answers to the questions.
“See it’s a sign of respect and love. Sure it’s about power, but I want you on your knees because you want to please me and I like it”
I liked the ending, the last chapter or two were very fast paced and the answers to who was hurting these girls came about very quickly. I would have maybe liked an epilogue, just a bit more detail about what happened after everything came to a conclusion.
But overall this was a story that was filled with sex, fun, drama and a little suspense which made it a really enjoyable read and I will look out for more from this author in the future.
