Blog Tour: Laurelin Paige's "Sweet Fate (Dirty Sweet #2)."

The Hopeless Romantics Book Blog are pleased to be part of the Blog Tour for Laurelin Paige's "Sweet Fate (Dirty Sweet #2)."


Synopsis

Dylan Locke knows that pining over the young ingenue Audrey Lind is pointless. He can’t offer her what she wants. He definitely can’t give her what she needs. Thank goodness she’s half a world away, and he doesn’t have to deal with his attraction head on.

But fate has other plans for him, and when Audrey once again lands in his path, it’s only too easy to fall back into their easy rhythm. And then their easy banter. And of course, each other’s arms.

He tells himself nothing has changed. She still wants forever, and he still thinks tomorrow is long enough. But watching her search isn’t as easy as he thought it would be, and now Dylan must figure out if he’s really the love Scrooge he professes to be or if he’s been Fate’s willing victim all along.

Review: Jo 

I loved this sequel to Laurelin Paige’s age gap romance. It ticked every single box for me. A brilliant story, gorgeous writing and characters that were easy to root for. It was a winning read for me. I was addicted to Audrey and Dylan, tearing through the pages to find out what happened next. I also loved that this book was set in London. It was great to read about places that I had been to and references to life in the UK. I especially enjoyed that Gogglebox was mentioned. It made me smile to see one of my favourite programmes in the story.

"She was a cataract covering the lens of the eye-
it was impossible to see the world without seeing her."

In this conclusion to the Dirty Sweet Duet, I saw Audrey and Dylan both single and both living in London at the same time. Hopeless romantic, Audrey would definitely say that it was kismet, bringing the pair together again. This time Audrey was on a mission to meet her Mr Right, yet at the same time, Dylan was secretly falling in love with her and I knew that Audrey didn’t need to find her true love, because he was right there in front of her. It just took the majority of this book for the couple to realise this. To say that Audrey and Dylan tested my patience was an understatement. I was so excited to see the couple begin their relationship.

"I stopped thinking, stopped holding back, stopped pretending 
I didn't want her. and pressed my mouth to hers."

Dylan and Audrey made the best kind of couple. Extremely sexy in the bedroom and just so perfect for one another. There were moments that made me sad for Dylan as he wrestled with his true feelings for Audrey, dwelling on the age difference. He truly was worrying for no reason. I knew that the pair would make a beautiful couple. When that did finally happen, I couldn’t help but give a little cheer. I was crazy happy for Audrey and Dylan. After waiting for so long, this red hot couple deserved a HEA. To top it off, I also got a swoony epilogue that was everything I wanted. The best way to end the story with a huge smile on my face. 

"She came to me like a magnet, like we were meant to clash together. 
Like we couldn't be apart." 

“Sweet Fate” gets ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ from me.



Excerpt

It was a completely different experience kissing Audrey, after I’d accepted the gravity of the feelings I had for her. 

I knew the kiss meant nothing, that it would lead nowhere, but it felt like being bathed in radiant light. 

Like I was an imprisoned man in a dark prison cell who, for one brief moment, was allowed to step outside into the sunlight. I was completely present for it. Each brush of her lips, each touch of her tongue—I memorized it all, imprinted every second into my brain so that I’d have it forever. I might still have worn shackles with no hope of freedom, but this moment mattered. It was real and divine, and I would cherish every last second of the stolen sunshine until my dying day. 

I would’ve been content with only kissing, with just the shallow lifts and falls of her chest and frantic hands trying to caress and cling. 

But Audrey had other ideas in mind, demonstrated by the quick work of her hands at my waist, unbuckling my belt, undoing my trousers, the slip of her hand inside the opening to stroke the outline of my very prominent erection.

“This,” she said between kisses. She pulled at the elastic waistband of my boxers and dipped her hand in to touch me directly. 

I hissed at the feel of her soft hand against my hot skin. 

“I want this,” she begged. “Can I have this?”



About the Author:

With over 2.4 million books sold worldwide, Laurelin Paige is a New York Times, Wall Street Journal and USA Today Bestselling Author. Her international success started with her very first series, the Fixed Trilogy, which, alone, has sold over 1 million copies, and earned her the coveted #1 spot on Amazon’s bestseller list in the U.S., U.K., Canada, and Australia, simultaneously. This title also was named in People magazine as one of the top 10 most downloaded books of 2014. She’s also been #1 over all books at the Apple Book Store with more than one title in more than one country. She’s published both independently and with MacMillan’s St. Martin’s Press and Griffin imprints as well as many other publishers around the world including Harper Collins in Germany and Hachette/Little Brown in the U.K. With her edgy, trope-flipped stories of smart women and strong men, she’s managed to secure herself among today’s romance royalty.

Paige has a Bachelor’s degree in Musical Theater and a Masters of Business Administration with a Marketing emphasis, and she credits her writing success to what she learned from both programs, though she’s also an avid learner, constantly trying to challenge her mind with new and exciting ideas and concepts. While she loves psychological thrillers and witty philosophical books and entertainment, she is a sucker for a good romance and gets giddy anytime there’s kissing, much to the embarrassment of her three daughters. Her husband doesn’t seem to complain, however. When she isn’t reading or writing sexy stories, she’s probably singing, watching Game of Thrones or The Walking Dead, or dreaming of Michael Fassbender. She's also a proud member of Mensa International though she doesn't do anything with the organization except use it as material for her bio. She is represented by Rebecca Friedman.
