REVIEW:

4 out of 5 for this reader folks!

Blue Dahlia by Vivian Winslow is the fourth short read of her Gilded Flower series but this time the series changes focus from socialite Lily Baron to her sister Dahlia. Have to say, while Dahlia didn’t start off as such a great character in this series, she has completely won me over through out and this book in particular, you come to really appreciate her depths.

Dahlia Baron is in love. Wanting to start her life with her Latin hunny Rodrigo in Miami, Dahlia promises to join him as soon as she takes care of a few urgent matters. Little does Rodrigo know that her urgent matter consists of a failed marriage and a devastating loss. Wanting an official divorce, Dahlia heads out to California to face her husband Shane. After many years of separation and secrets, Dahlia is taken a back when old wounds are not so old and a once suppressed love bubbles to the surface. Shane is still the man she loves, yet he seems older and wiser and unwilling to give her up easy.

This is a quick indulgent read (less than 100 pages) and it’s jammed packed full of hot sizzle, sincere loving moments and a feeling of being torn in two by two wonderful men. You sense Dahlia blooming before your eyes (excuse the pun .. I couldn’t resist … LOL) There is an abruptness in the writing and a hurry feeling through the story. I would of liked to be teased a little more but I will say for such a short story, Vivian really did a great job writing “so much story”. I am left with wanting more and excited to see where Dahlia goes next.

I have a feeling the bottom is about to drop out once again ……

HAPPY READING!

Excerpt

Dahlia leads Rodrigo up a wide flight of stairs and through a small photography exhibition with a sleepy guard standing by the entryway. They cross the empty room to an unmarked door. She produces a key card and swipes it.
“How?” Rodrigo begins to ask.
She replies with a wink and closes the door behind them. “This is where they keep the pieces waiting to be sent to the storage facility,” Dahlia whispers as they walk past rows of cloth covered paintings and wooden crates. As they reach the end of the corridor, Dahlia pulls Rodrigo into the last row.
Without hesitating, he draws her mouth to his, their kiss all-consuming. His hot tongue finds hers and takes the kiss so deep it sends electricity through her body. He always knows what she needs in the moment. Today, she wants all of him. She needs his reassurance.
He cups her face with his hands and gently tugs on her lower lip with his teeth. The desire in his eyes leaves her core throbbing for him. She moans as she feels his generous erection press up against her.
Rodrigo’s hand moves under her skirt, grabbing and kneading her ass before hitching her leg around his waist. Without missing a beat, she leans back against the wall to allow him better access to her snatch.
He smiles seductively, licking his bottom lip as his hand goes exploring, palming her clit. He presses his lips hard against hers, and she relishes in the heady feeling his kisses give her. Her hips begin to move to the rhythm of his fingers, as he glides them in and out of her wet, hot love tunnel.
Dahlia gasps as he begins to move faster. “I want you inside me,” she whispers, her breathing strained by the excitement of the moment. She can’t get enough of him. “Love me now.”
Dahlia playfully bites and licks his neck as she runs her hands through his thick dark hair. “I can’t imagine being anywhere else, baby.”
Rodrigo brusquely lifts her by her ass, and she wraps her legs around him. He moans as he sinks his hard cock into her.
He moves slowly at first, enjoying the tightness of her cunt. Dahlia closes her eyes as he plunges deeper into her core. She likes that he takes it slow with her, his fullness becoming all that she can feel, overwhelming her senses.

That said, she’s still a California girl at heart and would gladly trade in her heels for a pair of flip-flops to catch a sunset on the beach. .
