Blog Tour for SWEET FATE by Laurelin Paige

Sweet Fate (Dirty Sweet #2) by Laurelin Paige Release Date: March 26, 2019 Genre: Contemporary Romance
 
 
 
 
   
Blurb: Dylan Locke knows that pining over the young ingenue Audrey Lind is pointless. He can’t offer her what she wants. He definitely can’t give her what she needs. Thank goodness she’s half a world away, and he doesn’t have to deal with his attraction head on.
But fate has other plans for him, and when Audrey once again lands in his path, it’s only too easy to fall back into their easy rhythm. And then their easy banter. And of course, each other’s arms.
He tells himself nothing has changed. She still wants forever, and he still thinks tomorrow is long enough. But watching her search isn’t as easy as he thought it would be, and now Dylan must figure out if he’s really the love Scrooge he professes to be or if he’s been Fate’s willing victim all along.
   
Excerpt It was a completely different experience kissing Audrey, after I’d accepted the gravity of the feelings I had for her.
I knew the kiss meant nothing, that it would lead nowhere, but it felt like being bathed in radiant light.
Like I was an imprisoned man in a dark prison cell who, for one brief moment, was allowed to step outside into the sunlight. I was completely present for it. Each brush of her lips, each touch of her tongue—I memorized it all, imprinted every second into my brain so that I’d have it forever. I might still have worn shackles with no hope of freedom, but this moment mattered. It was real and divine, and I would cherish every last second of the stolen sunshine until my dying day.
I would’ve been content with only kissing, with just the shallow lifts and falls of her chest and frantic hands trying to caress and cling.
But Audrey had other ideas in mind, demonstrated by the quick work of her hands at my waist, unbuckling my belt, undoing my trousers, the slip of her hand inside the opening to stroke the outline of my very prominent erection.
“This,” she said between kisses. She pulled at the elastic waistband of my boxers and dipped her hand in to touch me directly.
I hissed at the feel of her soft hand against my hot skin.
“I want this,” she begged. “Can I have this?”
   



This is the conclusion to Dylan Locke and Audrey Lind’s story and it was all I was hoping that it would be. If you have not read Sweet Liar, then you need to stop and read it before you read Sweet Fate which is told from Dylan’s point of view.
After parting ways, he knows that it was the right thing to do, but there is a still a large part of him who wants Audrey. Dylan knows that there is no sense in pursing a relationship with Audrey, not just because she is almost young enough to be his daughter, but because they both want very different things from a relationship and he believes that she deserves more than he can offer her.
From the outset, the attraction between Dylan and Audrey is powerful and hard to resit.  Audrey is the one who does the majority of the chasing, which is a novel take on most romance books, however for these two it really works. Thanks to an acrimonious divorce, Dylan no longer believes in happily ever after.
When fate puts Dylan and Audrey together again, will Dylan ignore his feelings, or will he take a chance?
Can Audrey bring Dylan back to life and convince him to trust in her and the feelings they have for one another or are they destined to remain apart?   



What a wonderful way to conclude Audrey and Dylan’s love story. Sweet fate was everything I expected and more and it certainly gave me all the feels I want from a great read.
Before I go any further I do have to say if you haven’t read Sweet Liar please stop reading and go and pick that book up  because you do need to have read it before starting on Sweet Fate.
Dylan firmly believes he is too old for a relationship with Audrey and he plants himself in the friend zone but Audrey still believes if it’s meant to be fate will step in and put them in the same city at the same time. That all happens when Audrey gets her dream job in London but will Dylan be prepared to act on the feelings he has or will he let her slip away again because of his fear of love and relationships......
Wonderful characters, sizzling chemistry and a story that will captivate you from the first line all go into making this one of my favourite reads of 2019. Looking forward to see where this very talented author takes us next.




About the Author: With over 2.4 million books sold worldwide, Laurelin Paige is a New York Times, Wall Street Journal and USA Today Bestselling Author. Her international success started with her very first series, the Fixed Trilogy, which, alone, has sold over 1 million copies, and earned her the coveted #1 spot on Amazon’s bestseller list in the U.S., U.K., Canada, and Australia, simultaneously. This title also was named in People magazine as one of the top 10 most downloaded books of 2014. She’s also been #1 over all books at the Apple Book Store with more than one title in more than one country. She’s published both independently and with MacMillan’s St. Martin’s Press and Griffin imprints as well as many other publishers around the world including Harper Collins in Germany and Hachette/Little Brown in the U.K. With her edgy, trope-flipped stories of smart women and strong men, she’s managed to secure herself among today’s romance royalty. Paige has a Bachelor’s degree in Musical Theater and a Masters of Business Administration with a Marketing emphasis, and she credits her writing success to what she learned from both programs, though she’s also an avid learner, constantly trying to challenge her mind with new and exciting ideas and concepts. While she loves psychological thrillers and witty philosophical books and entertainment, she is a sucker for a good romance and gets giddy anytime there’s kissing, much to the embarrassment of her three daughters. Her husband doesn’t seem to complain, however. When she isn’t reading or writing sexy stories, she’s probably singing, watching Game of Thrones or The Walking Dead, or dreaming of Michael Fassbender. She's also a proud member of Mensa International though she doesn't do anything with the organization except use it as material for her bio. She is represented by Rebecca Friedman.
