{Tour} BREAKING THE RULES by Katie McGarry {Author Guest Post + Giveaway!}

No, I’m not kidding about this. I blushed. Bright red and red hot. I blushed often and my heart fluttered.

There’s no doubt that Echo and Noah had explosive chemistry in Pushing the Limits, but Echo and Noah aren’t in high school anymore and they are dead set on pushing past previous boundaries.

At the beginning of Breaking the Rules, we are catching up with them as they start the last week of their summer road trip. While they’ve had some delicious hot nights as they’ve traveled across the country, there are still some places they haven’t explored and this is where my blushing comes into play.

Wondering what I’m talking about? Here’s a teaser from Echo’s point of view. In this moment, she’s hurt her head and Noah’s checking out the forming bruise.

“Well?” I ask to fill the silence because the running water creates this weird vacuum effect. “Am I dying?” The answer is yes. I’m dying of embarrassment.

Noah cups my face with both hands, kisses my wound, and something inside me gives. A thawing of frozen muscles. His lips skim lower—a kiss to the end of my nose—then he tips my face up, and he gently presses his mouth to mine.

It’s a slow kiss. One that causes my heart to stop, and when it starts again, it doesn’t resume at a normal pace. It’s the type that washes away my fears and where I automatically tilt my head in a silent plea for more.

His tongue slides against my lips, and I part them. Every inch of me springs to life. Each caress of his hand on my back, along the sides of my waist, near my thighs, stokes a fire that, over the last two months, has been rising in intensity.

Noah rests both of his hands below my butt, and before I can move closer to him, he lifts me and props me onto the sink. I suck in a breath and pop open my eyes. Noah smiles at me in a way that makes me fall in love with him all over again.

“You said you’d only do that if I didn’t lower my hands and look at you,” I tease.

“What can I say? After I spoke the words, it was a done deal. I’m all about making my fantasies realities with you, Echo.”
