Review
This review is for Thou Shalt Not Beard by Leslie McAdam. I was really excited to catch up with Amelia and Ryan as they plan their beach wedding.
While Amelia was off in New York, Ryan was home growing a beard. Not just any beard but a blond uneven, scruffy monstrosity. His timing couldn’t have been anymore disastrous with their wedding only two weeks away. Ryan’s new found love for his beard and missing wedding table settings all lead to Amelia’s undoing. Can Ryan reel her in and comfort her fears?
Thou Shalt Not Beard is a quick, heartwarming story that reminds us that change is inevitable but doesn’t mean it’s a bad thing.
He leans forward, resting his elbows and forearms on the counter so our faces are inches apart. I’m trying to be pissed here, but with him this close I get distracted studying the way the blue in his eyes catches the dim light.
“People watching,” he murmurs, his tone a seductive allure.
“Huh?” I’m still lost in those eyes and don’t remember exactly what we’re discussing.
“The way you watch people. It’s something a writer does. Finds entertainment and joy in the mundane of life. It’s beautiful, really.”
“I never thought of it that way.”
“So, what is it that you write?” His voice is back to a casual pitch and I relax.
“Romance.”
“Ah . . . I knew with that mouth you’d have to have a naughty side. What kind of romance? Fifty Shades or the Fabio-grandma type stuff?”
I roll my eyes. “You do realize there’s so much more to it than that?” A little laugh escapes my lips and his gaze drops to my mouth. I feel the need to lick the parched skin. Fuck. I’m so screwed.
“Only if you want to be,” he says and his eyes blaze with the same heat I feel all over my skin.
“Huh?”
“You said, ‘Fuck, I’m so screwed,’ and not gonna lie. I’d like to help you with that.”
