Author: Danielle Jamie

Release Date: December 11, 2015

If you would’ve asked Raven four years ago if she was in love with Linc, she would’ve answered, YES! In a heartbeat.

Now four years later, the thought of Linc instills nothing but anger and hurt—Linc broke her heart into a million pieces and ever since she’s been trying to piece her heart back together.

When Linc was given the opportunity of a lifetime that meant he was one step closer to being in the PGA, he knew what he had to do—walk away from Raven and sacrifice his happiness for his dreams. He had no idea that his decision to go to Scotland would haunt him for years to come.

Fate tore Linc and Raven apart, now in a surprising twist it’s bringing them back together—but the question is: Can they let go of the pain from the past giving them a fighting chance at finally having a future together?

I HEART BOOKS REVIEW

Rapture (Stepbrother #3) by Danielle Jamie

Review by Theresa Esterline

Stars: 5

Warning... tissues needed!!

Linc and Raven are back and hotter than ever, at least when they are fighting or hating each other! Their explosive story continues with more plots twists and turns. One moment you'll be hating person "A" and later you'll be shocked at who the real bad guy turns out to be. Of course there are lots of scorching hot scenes, hilariously funny moments, sassy spitfire situations, and as warned a few very sad moments. Note: if you don't want to be surprised, read the pre-amble to prepare yourself. And now a bit about the story...

Raven can't believe Linc left after the wedding to go to Scotland! She knows it is his dream, but she wasn't prepared for him to be that far away. Thinking maybe it was for the best, she decided to concentrate on school. At least until she couldn't keep anything down and suspected the reason. After a trip to the doc and then an international flight she was in Linc's arms again. She didn't think it would be easy, but was seeing their future working out. That is until a phone call separates them again, and then even later a video call halts all progress and starts a huge downhill slide. If you haven't met Raven and Linc yet, start with the beginning and enjoy the trilogy, I did!!

Favorite passages:

- “It’s nice to meet you, too,” I lie and force the same fake smile she’s flashing at me. I think I just puked in my mouth.

- “Slipping out of his bed, I tiptoe across the carpeted floor toward his bedroom door.”

- “I just hope I don’t become a shark’s lunch.”

My body feels numb as we stand there in my foyer, with us both naked only from the waist down and our bodies still connected. She buries her face into the crook of my neck as we gasp for breath and wait for our bodies to float back down to Earth.

I’m afraid to move, pull myself out of her, and break the spell we’re both under. The fear of her vanishing before my eyes is almost paralyzing.

Raven is like the sparrow tattooed on her shoulder. Bright and awe-inspiring with her beauty…and always ready to take flight, soaring off into the unknown to chase her next adventure. All the while, leaving me here all alone to once again try to piece my life back together without her.

Finally, I slip myself out of her and set her down on the hardwood floor. “There’s a bathroom this way, so we can get you cleaned up.” Lacing my hand back with hers, I lead her toward the bathroom. I smile to myself as I see her looking around the suite, trying to take it all in. Since it’s only me here, I chose one of the small penthouse suites the hotel has to offer. It has a small but top-of-the-line kitchen that flows openly into my living room. There’s a private laundry room, home office, and guest bedroom downstairs. Followed by my bedroom, en suite, and walk-in closet upstairs. I also have a balcony that overlooks the Pacific Ocean, the harbor, and Golden Gate Bridge, along with the city of San Francisco below.

The second I get her into the bathroom, I release her hand and head straight for the shower, turning it on and allowing the room to fill with steam. Fisting my shirt, I yank it over my head and toss it onto the floor, followed by my shorts. I slide my gaze along her body, which is still flushed from the orgasm I just graced her with.

“Your turn, Spitfire. Strip,” I tell her as I take another step toward, her and help pull the sundress up over her head.

Her tongue darts out of her mouth, wetting her lips, and then she gently bites down on her bottom lip, dragging her teeth lightly over it. Instantly, I feel my dick begin to grow hard all over again.

“I don’t know what it is about you that makes me turn into a horny, sex-crazed woman, Linc.”

I cause a squeal to escape her as I wrap my arms around her waist and yank her against my chest, lifting her feet off the ground. “I don’t know what to tell ya, baby. But all I know is the feeling is mutual. I think by the time we’re through ‘catching up’, we’re going to have to spend the entire afternoon with you icing that sweet little pussy of yours, while I ice my goddamn balls. But it’ll sure as hell be worth it.”
