Last Kiss was one hell of a ride and
I enjoyed every minute of it. When I finished First Touch I couldn't wait to get my hands on Last Kiss since it ended with a cliffhanger. I dove straight in and I was only away from it to get my beauty sleep.
It was addictive as hell.
I enjoyed how easily Paige blended genres together. One minute it was suspenseful then she switched it around and it was sinfully erotic. It was done in such an
effortless and delicious way.
It kept me on my toes and on the edge of my seat throughout the story.
Reeve was even more
intoxicating this time around.
I couldn't get enough of his dirty talk and his assertive ways toward Emily, who I thought needed to take a stand against Amber.
Emily was too much a pushover when it came to Amber and I felt their
story/feelings dragged on for too long. Emily was a totally different character
from when we met her in First Touch and that disappointed me.
How Amber's presence could change Emily that much was beyond me.
I know they had history and Amber's presence when Emily was a teenager was influential but come on!
Emily was two totally different people.
Reeve and Emily together was sizzling hot! Damn damn damn!
I enjoyed their scenes together. Both in and out of bed but let me tell you all,
that Paige knows how to write insanely erotic scenes.
There were times I read them twice.
They were written so exquisitely and her words just jumped off the pages.
I was entertained tremendously even though I figured out the plot early on.
I felt the ending was a little rushed and I would've loved an epilogue.
I would definitely recommend this duet because it was a fabulous story with interesting and flawed characters.
To top it off the writing was superb.

Excerpt:
Reeve smirked—he loved it when I begged—but he didn’t take me where I wanted to go. Instead, with his fingers pinching my chin, he twisted my face so that my cheek pressed against the glass.
“Look,” he said in reverence.
The mirror ran the whole wall behind me then wrapped around the vanity so, facing this direction, I could see our reflections in the glass, half eclipsed by steam from the shower. He let go of me long enough to wipe the fog then resumed his grip on my jaw. I stared, transfixed by the sight of his cock driving into me over and over.
With my focus where he wanted it, Reeve rearranged my legs, bringing one foot up to brace on the counter and propping the other in the sink. Now I was angled so that my cunt could better be seen in the mirror. It was naughty and erotic and I couldn’t stop staring.
“Look at that,” he said again, his fingers jabbing into my skin. “The way you let me use you is so beautiful.”
Beautiful. It was beautiful. The way he had me spread out awkwardly across the bathroom sink, naked while he was still clothed—it was vile and wicked and oh, so beautiful.
“I can’t control myself when I’m inside you.” His voice was ragged and threadbare. “I want to tear you apart. I want to rip you to shreds.” He moved both of his hands to grasp my thighs, tilting my pelvis so that his thrusts hit even deeper. “I want to destroy you. Want to fuck you to pieces. Want to shatter you. Want to break you.”
His awful, wonderful words set a storm to gather low inside me, and I could tell that this time it wouldn’t back down. I shifted my hands from the counter to his forearms to brace myself for its attack. The movement drew his attention from the mirror to my face.
“Want to break you,” he repeated, his words more of a rumble than actual speech.
“You do,” I said, peering up under heavy lids, my voice a mere rasp. “You do break me. Every time.”
Reeve’s eyes sparked in awe, then the muscles in his neck grew taut and his rhythm stuttered. With a low growl, he froze and spilled into me, his fingers digging so deep into my skin I was sure they’d leave bruises on my thighs.
It was so hot, how he defiled and wrecked me. So hot how he loved to see me devastated. So hot that I joined him in his release. My mouth fell open and my climax took over, coarsely racking through my body. Even with the mirror supporting my back, I was freefalling, spinning with pleasure. Only a thin layer of sweat and steam covered my body, but it felt like I’d been pulled underwater into a whirlpool of bliss.
Reeve put himself away, then watched me as I finished, as if completely enamored with my orgasm. As if completely enamored with me.
It was somewhat disconcerting to feel his eyes so heavy on me. He’d seen me come so many times before, but I’d never noticed him so intent. I lowered my gaze, but he lifted my chin, forcing me to meet his stare head-on.
With a gentle touch, he swept a lock of sweat-drenched hair from my forehead. “Every time?”
He’d been tender with me in the past, but it wasn’t his usual M.O., and it startled me. Moved me as I realized it came from a place of concern.
“Yes,” I answered honestly, because he did break me, every time that he stuck his cock inside me, every time that he made me climax, every time that he touched me. Outside of the moment, when the sex was over and we were people instead of sex-driven beasts, it sounded horrible. Who would want to be broken by her lover? Who would want to be destroyed?
I do. I always did. I longed for it and needed it. I needed him.
I caught his hand and pressed the back of it to my cheek. “It’s the only reason I ever want to be someone who’s put together. So that you can break me all over again.”
