5 Star Review: Follow by Tessa Bailey



He wants her soul. Too bad she already sold it.

Family is everything to gambling den darling, Teresa Valentini. Blood comes first, especially before men. So when her brother lands himself in hot water, she’s willing to do whatever it takes to save him. And showing up topless in her unwitting savior’s motel room is turning out to be the furthest thing from a hardship…

Will Caruso is the bad boy of New York’s financial scene…and he just found out the very thing that drives his success is a damn lie. Now, he’s exchanged his high-stress life for the open road, no one but his Great Dane…and half a million Instagram followers to keep him company. When a mysterious beauty arrives, her secrecy prods his suspicions, even while she tempts his lust to the breaking point.

Teresa met Will under false pretenses, but the bond consuming them is real. They’re strong enough to overcome a little betrayal…aren’t they?







My Review

I received an advanced copy of this book with the promise of an honest review. 

Teresa is desperate. Her brother has followed her father's footsteps and is working with the last person he should be working for. She has managed to strike a deal to help her brother and it involves her having to track down someone and convince him to return to New York City. Seems simple enough and Teresa can be very persuasive.

Will is on a road trip with his dog. He's traveling across the country and documenting it on Instagram, so it doesn't take long for Teresa to track him down. And when she does...Ooooh baby! Talk about making a good first impression. From that moment on, Teresa and Will end up on their own sexy adventure that had my attention from beginning to end.

Listen. I always knew that Tessa was good at the dirty talk, but OH MY GOD. She even warned us about dirty talking Will, but I was not ready. Christ on cracker, this book is HOT. I won't go into details, but I will say that there is one scene that had me running to take a cold shower. AND that happened very early in the book. Things just got hotter from there.

But this book isn't all about the sexiness. There is actually a really sweet story that involves a man and his dog. For reals. It's the cutest. And then there is Will and Teresa. There are so many sweet moments between them that had me These two connect on a deeper level that had both of them reeling. As a result, Teresa's job becomes much harder than she anticipated and Will has put his faith into someone he barely knows.

If you're a fan of Tessa Bailey, this is a must read. It's a sweet story with a very large dose of sexy! Go 1-click!



EXCERPT

“Here we are.”

My face heats over being caught even imagining such things. We’re at my door and I have no recollection of entering the motel. Come on, Teresa. Stop letting this guy get to you so bad. “Right.” I fish for the key card in my pocket, but cease all movement when Will brushes his fingertips down my arm, then trails them back up. Slow. And all the while, he invades my space, eliminating inches at such a leisurely pace that I’m panting by the time our mouths are a breath apart.

“What are you going to do when I close this door behind you, Teresa?” He grazes my bottom lip with his teeth, making me gasp. “You going to get undressed in front of the air conditioner, thinking it might cool you down after teasing my cock for over an hour in the bar? It won’t. I give you five minutes before you’re face down in bed, riding your own fingers.”

My knees threaten to buckle. “That’s my business.”

“Make it mine.”

Mayday. Mayday. “Will—”

He stops my admonishment with a drugging kiss, his tongue stroking in and out of my mouth. His hands grip my elbows, lifting me up on my toes in desperate degrees, meshing our bodies, our lips, until I’m moaning, letting him have rough intercourse with my mouth. Just when I’m on the verge of giving in and begging him to take me up against the door, he steps back, eyes glittering, wiping away the moisture on his mouth with a wrist swipe. “I’ll be out on the balcony. If you’re going to finger yourself in my honor, I want to listen.”










Tessa Bailey is originally from Carlsbad, California. The day after high school graduation, she packed her yearbook, ripped jeans and laptop, driving cross-country to New York City in under four days. Her most valuable life experiences were learned thereafter while waitressing at K-Dees, a Manhattan pub owned by her uncle. Inside those four walls, she met her husband, best friend and discovered the magic of classic rock, managing to put herself through Kingsborough Community College and the English program at Pace University at the same time. Several stunted attempts to enter the work force as a journalist followed, but romance writing continued to demand her attention.

She now lives in Long Island, New York with her husband of ten years and six-year-old daughter. Although she is severely sleep-deprived, she is incredibly happy to be living her dream of writing about people falling in love.
