I knew from the moment I first saw her she was the one.
The only girl I could ever want.
The only girl I could ever love.
She is light.
I am darkness.
She is innocent.
I’ve done too much.
She is good.
I am bad.
She is my every dream.
I should be her every nightmare.
We come from different worlds. She’s…perfect. And I’m…
Not.
Somehow she wants me anyway. So we’ll grasp at what we can. We’re going to make this summer count. She’s my secret. And I’m hers.
The problem with secrets is they never last for long. And when others discover we’re together, they’ll do whatever it takes to keep us apart. All I know is: I won’t let them.
Because Reverie Hale? She’s mine.

“Thirsty?”
I jump at the sound of a soft female voice, my hand jerking so the hose splashes me right in the face. Muttering a curse, I drop the hose and reach out blindly, wrenching the faucet off with one hand as I swipe at my eyes with the back of the other. I hear the girl laugh and I whirl around, fully prepared to find some bratty preteen Hale daughter mocking me.
But she’s not a preteen. Not even close. More like around my age. She’s tall and slender, her long blonde hair falling far past bared tan shoulders. She’s wearing some sort of sundress or whatever you call it and she’s pretty much covered since it hits just above her knees though her arms are exposed since the dress is sleeveless. The sun catches her just right though, shining through the thin fabric of her skirt so I can see through it.
My gaze drops and all I can see is long, long legs through the shadowy fabric. Damn. Those sexy legs are endless. She clears her throat, like she knows exactly where I’m looking and what I’m thinking and I jerk my gaze up guiltily to meet hers, feeling like a jackass.
That’s when I notice her eyes are blue. As blue as the sky above us, and she’s so damn pretty, with delicate features and pink, pink lips, that I can’t seem to form words.
“Who are you?” she asks curiously. Her voice washes over me, sweet and melodic and now it’s my turn to clear my throat to get the lump out so I can freaking speak.
“Who are you?” I ask back like an idiot.
She smiles shyly and my entire body reacts, a bolt of electricity seeming to go through me. “I asked first.”
“Are you Hale’s daughter?” If she is, that sucks because holy hell she’s hot but yeah.
She’s completely untouchable if she’s a Hale.
Let’s start by once again giving the cliffy warning, shall
we? Yes, His Reverie has a
cliffhanger ending. There will be second book, Her Destiny, to finish the story. Only thing keeping Monica Murphy
safe from my nasty tweets about the cliffhanger ending is the fact it comes out
in only a couple of more weeks. I do have the ability to exercise some sort of
patience… mild as it may be.
So we all know Ms Monica Murphy can write some good smutty
scenes, don’t we? I think after the One Week Girlfriend and Billionaire
Bachelors series, it pretty much goes without saying. So when I learned His Reverie was going to be a in the
mature adult genre - I was a little on the fence. That meant there would be no
smut didn’t it? Wait - Monica Murphy was going to write a romance without any
smut? What is the world coming to?!
So here’s the deal. Our heroine and hero are really young
still in high school. Honestly, while reading their story – I was ok with it
fading to black. I didn’t need those scenes. I think Monica Murphy made a good
call on this one fading to black. We still get the details but what would be
the “smutty” scenes are left out.
Our hero, Nick, is still had me falling madly in love with
him. He’s just trying to survive life when his and Reverie’s lives collide as
he starts to work for her family. I love the telling of a good forbidden love.
Monica Murphy did this one right. Sneaking in and out of her parent’s house to
see other, secret glances at each other while he’s working, and hiding their
relationship from everyone. And what happens if anyone finds out?
I also love story with a little bit of mystery and suspense.
The end will leave you guessing.
