Tome Tender Review : “ A non-stop reading experience that jumps off the pages from start to finish !”
EXCERPT :
His heart leaped in his chest . “ It ’ s about time . What the hell happened to you ?” He clutched her shoulders and pulled her towards him . “ My God .”
Geneva jerked in his arms , probably stunned he held her . But he couldn ’ t let go . Not yet . Not until he knew she was safe .
She cleared her throat . “ There were so many colors .” Her voice sounded weak … shell-shocked . “ I couldn ’ t make them stop . They kept coming at me , over and over . I tried to dilute them , but … I got lost . I couldn ’ t figure out how to resurface .”
Fear thickened his throat . He pulled her closer . He clenched his jaw and tried to keep his worry and anger inside , but they wouldn ’ t be contained . “ Don ’ t you ever do that to me again .”
“ Mmmfh .” Geneva twisted in his arms . “ Let me go .” She managed to lift her head from where he ’ d smashed it into his shoulder . “ What ’ s the matter with you ? Why are you shouting ?”
Rolf loosened his grip but did not let go . Energy surged and writhed towards her light , a mad bid for freedom . Heat exploded through his body , and he tilted her chin until their eyes met . “ You could have died .”
