4.5 Stars!!
I just got done reading Book 1 in the Always Series so it was nice to go straight into Book 2. You get to meet Cam and Cara and get to see bits and pieces of their relationship. I think I fell for Cam in Promise Me Always. He is Blake's fellow fire fighter at station #34. There was something about him that just caught my eye from the begining. I enjoyed Blake and Tessa's story, but Cam and Cara took the cake for me. I fell in love with them both. They both were struggling with thier past. Cam was getting over an ex-girlfriend, and Cara was getting over her dad walking out on her when she was younger in addition to getting over an ex-boyfriend as well. Cam is sexy and corky, and Cara has a fun personality with a smart mouth. Together they make a great couple. Only, they don't see it at first and act like they are basically friends with benefits. Their relationship is not all happy go lucky, they come across major bumps in the road. There are so many twist and turns that take place in this story. As for the ending...I did not see that coming! In the end, Cam and Cara go through so much hurt that it brings them closer to each other the best way possible. I really liked this book. I preferred Cam and Cara's story over Blake and Tessa's. I am wondering if there will be a Book 3 and if so, who it will be about? You also get to meet Aaron in Always Yours and he seems pretty interesting. At first I didn't like him but as the story went on and things came out, I would like to read more about him. Great story. If book 3 is in the works I would definitely love to read! I would rate this 4.5 stars, and I'm thinking if there is a book 3, this Series just may get better and better! ~Juls

Excerpt Cam's POV
"You know, since we're on the subject," I began, raising my eyebrows at her, "do you maybe want to invite me in?" She shook her head at me as she chuckled a bit. "Do you ever think of anything else besides sex?" She started walking to her door and I followed her. "No, not really," I said, shrugging my shoulders. "It doesn't help that I've done nothing but think about you for the past two weeks." She grinned timidly over her shoulder at me as she unlocked the door. Leaning forward I swiped the hair off of the back of her neck as I softly said the next part in her ear, "Your sexy body, the way you cried out my name, and the look on your face when you came all over me, is all I've been able to see." Her face flushed with color. "You've got my balls cussin', firecracker, and there is only one thing that is going to make them stop." Spinning her around swiftly, I pressed my mouth to hers, kissing her hard. She moaned into my mouth and I lost it. That sound shot straight to my dick, making it rise with complete attention. We needed to get inside before I took her right here on the front porch. Reaching behind her, I found the door knob and opened it. I picked her up, walked inside, and kicked the door shut behind us. As badly as I wanted to make it to the bedroom, it wasn't going to happen. She was pulling at my clothes, unbuttoning my shirt, and kicking her shoes off while she was still in my arms. Laying her down on the couch I climbed over her. Moving down my shirt, she continued her assault on the buttons—one by one, her fingers brushed against my skin, leaving a wake of warmth in their path. Once she had it open, she pushed it over my shoulders and slid her hands over my chest as she made her way to my pants. Her touch was impulsive and desperate, like she craved me as much as I did her. I grabbed her wrists and pinned them above her head. Burying my face in her neck, I kissed and nibbled on her earlobe and she let out an inviting giggle. I continued down her throat and goose bumps broke out all over her skin. Thrusting her hips upward, she tried to make contact but I denied her and pulled back. She whined a little and I couldn't help but laugh—I loved making her squirm. And tonight, she was going to squirm until she begged me to fuck her.

Promise Me Always (Always 1) Synopsis
Blake Bentley had a rough upbringing, never fully believing he was good enough for anything or anyone. After being left with a broken heart by his only girlfriend, Blake swore off relationships for good and turned to the only two things that made him feel sufficient - sex and firefighting. Tessa Collins was brought up in the traditional 'perfect' family - loving parents, great sister, and amazing friends. After falling in love with Jared, her life was perfect - until he betrayed her. She has no idea that his betrayal could end up costing her more than just a shattered heart. Blake and Tessa have been friends since high school. Never wanting to admit their attraction for each other, the two always remained close friends. Now, three years later, Blake and Tessa find themselves being pulled together by a force much greater than friendship.

I Love Story Time's Review
*** I Love Story Time was gifted an ARC in exchange for an honest review ***
3.5 - 4 Stars!
I enjoyed this book. I have been looking forward to reading Blake and Tess's story so when I got offered the ARC, I was excited. Blake is one hot, cocky fire-fighter that has a temper that is sexy as hell. With one remark he can go from "loving Blake" to "I'm going to beat your ass, Blake." What a turn on!!! Blake and Tess have been friends for years. They also have had feelings for each other, but never let the other one know. Blake's past is constantly haunting him, leading him to believe that he doesn't deserve anything in his life, and that he isn't good enough for Tess. Tess try's to tell him that he is everything she needs.....
"How can you not see how perfect you really are?"
Tess doesn't know much about the way that Blake and his brother Devin were raised so she takes it personally when she notices that Blake starts to pull away from her. There's a lot of things that get in the way of Blake's and Tess's relationship that they have to work through. One being Tess's ex-boyfriend Jarred. Jarred won't give up on Tess no matter how many times she tells him they are over, he doesn't let go very easily.
One thing I did love about Blake was his sexy mouth! He was a good dirty talker! The way he talked to Tess was hot. He told her just how good she made him feel when ever they were together, and would say things that would make you suck in a breath. Plus with that "V" line on his body he was beyond sexy ....... Yum!!
I ran my eyes down his defined chest and abs until they came to a halt at his deep "V'.
"Do you like my funk lines, baby girl?" Do they make you want to fuck me?"
"Yes." I panted.
"Then they are doing their job," he smirked.
This book had the hotness, the loving, and some suspense and drama all mixed into it. It gives a little of everything. Loved the epilogue. It was cute and it was nice to know how things ended. I am looking forward to reading Book 2 and to see what is going to happen with Cam and Cara!
"Promise me?"................."Always"
