Excerpt:
“If you want me, if you want this, then you have to tell me. And it has to be now.” I looked at her wrist. The bracelet she knew I liked was wrapped around her delicate skin; it was the one I had once asked her to wear. She had worn it today and that told me everything I needed to know. “Because Frankie, I don’t believe you really want things between us to end.” Her cheeks darkened and her pupils began to dilate with need. “If you tell me you don’t want me, I’ll…” She had to know I would respect her despite what I wanted. “…I’ll put you down and I’ll leave your condo. What happened between us won’t affect what we have professionally. I promise. But if you want me, then—”

My Review:
In part three of Marni Mann's steamy five-part novella series, we get a lot of things cleared up that were left hanging in part two, while there are more things left at the end of this one that will drive you crazy till episode four is released.
Frankie and Derek get more of their hearts revealed, not just to each other but to the readers. We learn about why they fear the love and lust forming between them, and what they believe is at stake...and it's not a building contract.
We see more of Hayden, Derek's sister, and we do find out why Frankie doesn't like her. We also see more of Frankie's sleazy ex (unfortunately), and it gives this story the depth that a lot of erotica shorts don't have.
While, as the story goes on, I think it might've been a better option to release all five parts as one novel, I think having to wait a couple of months between novellas creates a certain sense of joy inside of us when the next book is finally released.
Book three is definitely the sexiest of them so far, and reading it will leave you breathless! There is no denying that Marni Mann is a force to be reckoned with in the erotic romance genre, and she is also a master at giving us "feels". We live Frankie's life, inside her mind and her heart. We fall in love with Derek as we learn how deep his feelings really go. And it's all because Ms. Mann made a wonderful world for us to escape to.
5/5--it just gets better!
