\nJust as I’m recovering from the cliffhanger from Something Reckless here is Something Real to bring me that warm tingly traumatization that I love and crave like a junky does another hit. I sort of like to think that Lexi Ryan is making love to me with her domestically abusive plot twists. My hopes for this book is that it will either come out with that warm feeling of happiness one has when life doesn’t completely suck and no one HAS to die, or the ending can be cured by a good drunk, and drinking hemlock won’t be necessary.<\/p>\n

Eff me, I love these horrible, wrench your heart out, and ruin your day books Lexi Ryan write! She is one of my favorites.

Something Real Synopsis:<\/p>\n

After everything blew up on Christmas, Liz walked away from me, and I let her. She said she needed space and a chance to pursue her dreams. But we both knew she was running from the mess she made. Now the political campaign she used as an excuse to leave is bringing us back together and I\u2019m proving to her what she really needs\u2014not just the hot nights, greedy hands, and undeniable physical chemistry. What she really needs is something real. What she really needs\u2026is me.<\/p>\n

Something Real Excerpt:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Sam<\/p>\n

Security had better not have let one of those asshole journalists from downstairs up to my floor. I swear, those soul suckers would do anything to get a new detail to add to their nothing stories. I open the door without removing the chain and feel as if I\u2019ve been punched in the gut when I see the woman on the other side.<\/p>\n

Liz is worrying her lower lip between her teeth and watching down the hall. Is she looking for Sabrina or trying to make sure no one sees her coming to my room? My insides twist at the sight of her\u2014an internal tug-of-war between conflicting emotions. I want to pull her into my room and kiss her until she can\u2019t see straight, touch her until she promises never to leave me again, and at the same time, I want to demand that she go back to her room because having her close makes me hope for things I can\u2019t have.<\/p>\n

I remove the chain and tug her inside by the arm before closing the door behind her.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo one saw me,\u201d she says, her eyes locked on the floor. \u201cI made sure.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI saw you,\u201d I growl. It\u2019s painful to be this close\u2014to breathe her air, to smell her perfume. I never knew how much it could hurt to want and be denied.<\/p>\n

She swallows and avoids my eyes. \u201cIs she here?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat do you want, Liz?\u201d<\/p>\n

She lifts her head and stares at me. \u201cIs she here?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSabrina\u2019s on her way to meet her mom in South Dakota for a campaign stop.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her gaze dips to my bare chest and back up. \u201cI\u2019m surprised they didn\u2019t ask you to go with them.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey did. I declined.\u201d I sound like a fucking dickhead, and I make myself take two steps back so I don\u2019t do something equally dickish. Like kiss her until she melts in my arms and forgets about the other guy, until we both forget that this is hopeless.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m sorry that video was leaked. You didn\u2019t deserve that invasion of your privacy.\u201d<\/p>\n

She has red lipstick on, and it matches her shoes. Ever since I saw her tonight, I\u2019ve been picturing her on her knees in nothing but those shoes, those red lips stretched around my cock. I can\u2019t help myself, and I skim my thumb over her bottom lip.<\/p>\n

The second I touch her, she draws in a ragged breath. \u201cYou came to my apartment yesterday.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI did.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy?\u201d<\/p>\n

I trail my thumb down her neck and over the red strap of her dress. \u201cProbably for the same reason you came here tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTo talk about Sabrina?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou knocked on my door in the middle of the night to talk about Sabrina?\u201d I follow the strap down and graze my fingers across her cleavage. \u201cIs this about her, or is it about you and me?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no you and me,\u201d she says. \u201cWe both know that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s so much you and me, there\u2019s no air left when we share a room. There\u2019s always you and me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEven when you\u2019re making sex tapes with someone else?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd even when you\u2019re keeping warm in another man\u2019s arms.\u201d<\/p>\n
