#ThrowbackThursday this week is Accidentally August by E.M. Denning. This is a brother's best friend romance, low angst hot romance story with an HEA that is long awaited - by one of the MCs. I love the sounds of this, and the book is available now.
From the blurb:
August
I’m not supposed to have a crush on Crispin Tate. He’s my brother’s best friend, and he’s also gorgeous and perfect in every way... except for his horrible taste in men. And the fact he’s ten years too old for me. Falling for Crispin at sixteen was a surefire way to break my own heart, but I convinced myself one day I’ll get over my unrequited crush. Only, I don’t. I grow up and fall even deeper in love with a man who knows I exist, but won’t ever want me like that.
Crispin
Sometimes I think the only thing I’ve ever done right was rebuff August’s advances, because other than that, my life has been a complete mess. I married the wrong person, which led to a divorce that was the opposite of amicable. Then, one day in the middle of it all, August Shaughnessy grew up and grew into himself, but he didn’t outgrow the way he used to look at me when he was a teenager. It’s hard to not like him because he’s smart and funny and kind—he’s everything I ever wanted.
Now that he’s a grown man, the years between us hardly seem to matter. I can only hope that everyone else in our lives feels the same way because one morning I woke up and realized I’d accidentally fallen in love with August.
Excerpt:
The air left my lungs in a huff when he pushed me against the wall.
“Sorry,” he mumbled against my mouth. His hands bracketed my hips, pinning me in place as if there was anywhere else I’d rather be.
“Don’t apologize, just keep kissing me.” I rose, closing the tiny distance between our mouths, and slid my hands up his chest. My fingers brushed against his skin, softer than I’d imagined it to be. His scruff was the perfect length to offer texture to the kiss while still being soft.
I whimpered shamelessly as he kissed my neck. It had always been a weak spot of mine, something that got me going from zero to one hundred in three seconds flat. With Crispin, it was more in ways I couldn’t describe.
“What else do you want, Auggie?” It was hard to think with him kissing my neck like that. Soft and tender with his warm satin lips.
“I want you to touch me. I deserve to be touched, Crispin. I want you to show me what that is.”
His mouth stilled on my skin and for a second. I feared I’d said the exact wrong thing, but then Crispin practically growled and pinned me to the wall, his entire body pressing against mine in the most delicious way. God, I wanted to be under him so bad I could barely see straight.
“Crispin, please.”
