Being the CEO of a major architectural
company in California has taken over far too much of Chase’s life, leaving no
time for romance. But when a handsome Spaniard offers drinks and conversation,
talking leads to one spectacular night and an awareness of what he really
wants. But once Rico returns home to Spain, Chase will be alone, again.
Rico lives on his family’s strict
schedules with no time for contemplating what is missing in his life. He
doesn’t expect to meet someone special on this business trip. But he is drawn
to the big, striking blond American. Giving Chase someone to talk to, takes
Rico’s mind off his problems. And a mutual attraction gives them both a chance
to forget everything else and let their passionate natures run free.
Chase has a company to run and Rico
must return home to Spain, a truth they must both accept, but will acceptance
be enough when it comes to waking up alone?

About
The Author:
Live, love, laugh…such
simple words, but words I take to heart. There are never enough hours in my day
to do even half of the things I would like to do. But no matter how crazy my
life gets, I try to incorporate my words to live by (live, love, laugh) into
each day.
Family and friends are
extremely important to me. Life is far too short not to spend time with these
special people in some way each day. My husband supports me in my writing
craziness…always eagerly waiting for that million-dollar sale. (Dream on.) My
daughter supports me in so many ways, including designing my website and fixing
the many computer screw-ups I manage on an almost daily basis. And my friends,
especially fellow writers, support me when I need it, just as I support them in
return.
Beyond my family, I
enjoy traveling anywhere, at anytime. But I will never see enough. I will
always hunger for one more trip. All of my many adventures and observations of
people and places help my writer’s imagination. I’m filled with ‘what ifs’ and
ideas for yet more characters. My writing, too, leads me on many adventures. I
dabble with romances of many sub-genres: contemporary, historical Western,
medieval, sci-fi, paranormal, and Regency.

Excerpt:
“Regrettably, I believe it is time for me to return to
my hotel.”
Chase set down the empty shot glass, and a frown creased
his brow. “I understand. I’ll admit I don’t like seeing the evening end.” He
eased his chair away from the table. “The least I can do is give you a ride.”
A ride. Rico’s body interpreted the phrase in a whole different way. His
heart pounded with the urge to press the striking man for much more than a
simple goodbye. Instead he valiantly controlled his need and said, “I believe
we should take cabs this night. I would hate to think of you getting into an
accident because we both enjoyed too much whisky.”
Chase didn’t even attempt to protest. He stood, nodding.
“We can share a cab, if that’s all right with you.” He turned to face the
bartender. “Just put it all on my tab, Tom.”
“Not a problem.” He picked up the phone beside him.
“I’ll call for your cab right now.”
“Thanks.” Chase started to pull out his wallet but
stopped when he saw that Rico had already tossed a considerable tip on the
table.
Rico yawned, exhaustion catching up with him as well as
having sat for too long. “Sorry. It’s been a long day.”
“I apologize for keeping you out so late.” Chase headed
for the doorway. “Hopefully you can get some rest before your plane leaves
tomorrow.”
Rest wasn’t what appealed to Rico at the moment. His
gaze had followed Chase’s taut ass as he walked ahead of him. He’d been
thinking all night about what the handsome blond would look like naked. The man
had a well-toned body and a confident way of carrying himself that had captured
his interest upon meeting. When they’d shaken hands, something had passed
between them. A slight tingling sensation, but more than that. He’d been almost
certain Chase had felt the connection as well. It had been a long time since
Rico had experienced such a powerful attraction and an aching need to take
someone.
“Are you all right?” Chase asked, turning to stop and
wait for him to catch up.
Pulled from his wandering thoughts, Rico said, “Si. I just have something on my mind.” He
drew in a settling breath and forced a smile. “Someone, actually.”
“Someone?” Chase asked, raising one eyebrow.
Interest was there in the man’s expression, in
the heat that flashed in the blue eyes. Rico took a chance. “You.”Sarah's Review:
Thanks to Decadent Publishing for the opportunity to read, review and promote another fantastic story by another fabulous DP author. Thanks to Starla Kaye to creating characters that I enjoyed reading.
I am not a slash reader normally, but DP seems to be breaking that "norm" for me. I will read novella length slash stories, but full lengths haven't made the list yet. However, the way Starla Kaye wrote these two male characters, I could understand why people are falling in love with the slash stories. Reading these two characters fall in love but then face separation for an undetermined amount of time was amazing.
With this story being novella length, I won't be writing much else about the story in general. If you are a fan of the m/m stories, then you should read this story. Rico and Chase are amazing characters.
