One to Leave

By Tia Louise

Mariska

“I’m not leaving,” I gasped, needing him to stop.

He didn’t stop. He gave me three more swift thrusts before holding himself deep inside me, leaning over my shoulder as he groaned through his orgasm. He pulsed, filling me, then growing still. My heart beat so hard, and I couldn’t move. My bones were liquid as I lay on the bed.

Two more breaths, and he climbed onto the mattress, pulling me with him. I couldn’t resist if I wanted to as he wrapped me in his arms, holding me against his chest. His face was at my shoulder, buried in my hair, and he breathed deeply. We were both panting. Holding him, I could feel his pulse at my temple.

“Stuart,” I whispered.

“You’re mine.” He rumbled against my skin. “You don’t leave me.”

My jaw clenched. I was still recovering from that blazing fuck, and I hated how shockingly true his words were. I’d need the strength of Hercules to walk away from him. At the same time, I knew I had to stay strong.

“But you can leave me?”

He didn’t answer. He only held me firm against his chest. Our breath swirled in and out, mixing and mingling, and I wondered if he’d ever let me go. I wondered if I ever wanted him to. After a few moments, he did relax. He reached down and pulled the Indian blanket over me. Kissing my shoulder, he went to the bathroom and closed the door.

I pulled the blanket tight around me trying to calm my swirling emotions.

My Review of One to Leave by Tia Louise

“Mariska.” He exhaled my name, leaning into me. I shivered in his arms as his mouth traced my jawline, nibbling, biting. “My Mariska.”

Wow. Two words to describe One to Leave: Amazing and Emotional. Tia Louise does it again – she brings romance, sexiness, and passion to each book in the One to Hold Series.

We met Stuart at the end of One to Love when he walked into the gym where Kenny and Mariska worked. You could feel the energy between Stuart and Mariska, even in the short amount of time they were near each other in that story. One to Leave is Stuart and Mariska’s story and it may be my favorite book of the series. I think there is a deeper connection to be found between this couple than the others and, although I enjoyed all the books in the series, Stuart is my favorite of the guys. Maybe it’s the fact that he’s more broken (if that’s possible) than the other heroes in this series.

We get to see Derek & Melissa, Patrick & Elaine, and Kenny & Slayde in this story, as well. But, make no mistake, One to Leave is all about the love that can be found if you can just move beyond your fears, your past, and step out of your comfort zone. It’s also about being broken and finding that person who can piece you back together.

Let’s talk about alpha-Stuart. OMG. I love this man in the bedroom. His protectiveness of Mariska, his strength, even his damn hair pulling. All of his traits come together to make Stuart one of my favorite book boyfriends. We’ll call him the broken-but-still-fixable-sex-on-a-stick book boyfriend.

One to Leave can be read as a stand-alone, but I think you’ll enjoy reading the entire series. Tia Louise knows how to write bad-ass alphas, with a sexy protective streak.
