Sizzling contemporary romance with paranormal threads

Café in the Park
When
Emily joins a dating agency, she never expects to meet someone like Chris.
Everything she ever hoped for in a man, he’s special in more ways than one.
Their intense attraction to each other is fueled by their shared loneliness.
Will Emily find out his shocking secret when someone from his past comes back
to haunt him?
How
can love blossom, when someone is trying to tear them apart?
This is erotic, contemporary romance that sizzles. It has paranormal and suspense threads. Siren has classified it as ‘sexstreme’ so you can expect it to be hot.
Is it possible for a book to be both sweet and spicy at the same time? Well, this book has both element with some sweetly tender scenes as well as some sizzling erotic ones.
It is impossible not the feel the ache and loneliness that surrounds Emily and Chris at the beginning of the story, both looking for love in a world that seems to be moving on without them. Can two lonely hearts find love in each other?
I especially connected with Chris, a man who seemed to have everything but the one thing he desperately wanted.
I loved Emily because instead of running and hardening her heart when things got rough, she was willing to put her heart out there and give Chris a second chance. I really wished a lot of fictional heroines were that brave.
All in all, this is a heart-warming story laced with doses of steam and a dash of suspense. I would've loved to have the suspense elements a bit more developed but it didn't stop my enjoyment. Loved it.

Emily
opened the door.
The
sight took his breath away. She was dressed in a simple, short, dark-blue shift
dress, but it touched her curves exactly right. His gaze strayed to her bare
thighs, and then with a smile he raised his eyes to hers.
“Emily,
you look beautiful. I’m early, I know.”
She
nodded and smiled. “It doesn’t matter. It’s great to see you.” She opened the
door wider. “Come in.”
Chris
stepped into the hall. It brought them to stand very close together. His heart
pounded. Will she see my jacket move with
the force of this pounding? It’s
probably loud enough for her to hear. He stared at her. Conviction she was
meant to be his, that they were destined for each other, gave him courage. He
held out his arms.
Emily
went into them, molding her body against his, her arms sliding around his neck.
The
move enchanted Chris. His hips surged forward against her. He pressed his
erection onto her stomach. His arms around her waist, he bent his head slowly
to hers. The sexual tension between them lent an air of unreality to the
atmosphere. The moment his lips met hers Chris felt as if every muscle in his
body had dissolved. The floating sensation was exquisite. He savored her mouth.
He soaked up every brush of her breath, every inch of her body as she pressed
against him, her soft lips kissing him, her hands gentle in his hair. Delight
coursed through him. Low moans from them both added to the raw sexual
connection. His cock throbbed. His balls pulsed. He ran his hands down Emily’s
ass to cup her there, lift and hold her to his body as he thrust the bulge in
his pants against her.
Emily
broke the kiss to whisper a question against his lips. “Chris, did you book
dinner anywhere?”
He
took a breath. The loss of the kiss pulled his mouth back to hers. He kissed
her between words. “Why? No, I was hoping to take you to a quiet place a friend
recommended.” He kissed along her cheek to her ear and then down her neck. Her
skin was like silk. He rubbed his lips, nose, and cheek against it, tenderly,
loving the scent of her.
“I
thought we might stay here for a while, unless you’re hungry…I…” Her murmured
words against his ear sent ripples of sensation down his stomach to his cock.
