Excerpt:
The moment he spotted
Rhys, Asher straightened away from the vehicle. “I wasn’t ignoring you.” His
eyes weren’t cool any longer. Rhys struck without thought, crowding him against
the door of his truck. He didn’t give a shit who was watching as he flattened
his palms against the sun-warmed steel on either side of Asher.
“I know you’re not.”
The wave of raw lust
rolling off Asher’s body punched him in the gut. “I didn’t wish to embarrass
you by openly acknowledging you. Now, I see you’re not bothered.”
“Really?” Rhys could
hear the sarcastic note in his voice, but his temper wouldn’t allow him to
stop. He ran his gaze over Asher’s expensive clothing. “I got the impression
you were merely slumming it with me. Perhaps you’re the one who is
embarrassed.”
Asher’s entire
demeanor changed in an instant at the accusation. “Ah. I see.” He stepped out
his hold, leaving Rhys no choice except to let him go, or physically restrain
him. Rhys watched him walking away. The confidence in Asher’s stride held Rhys’
attention much longer than it should.
Before Asher could get
too far away to fix things, Rhys spoke up, stopping him. “I’m sorry.”
In a flash, Asher
managed to reverse their roles. The solid door came against Rhys’ back as the
pissed off man went nose to nose with him. “Do you know what your problem is?”
Without waiting for an answer, Asher added. “You’re obviously used to dealing
with people who are weak, and I am anything but. I happen to know my worth. If
you ever figure out yours then you know where to find me.”
Pushing away from the
truck, he left Rhys alone and speechless. Not to mention, his dick was now hard
as a rock. Holy hell. The smell of Asher’s cologne hung in the air. The accent,
damn, he’d forgotten what the sound of it did to him. With a curse, he pushed
away from the truck. There wasn’t any sense in staying here any longer. The
moment the door closed behind him, he froze. How had Asher known which vehicle
belonged to him? It was one question he might not ever get an answer to, since
it seemed he’d fucked everything up.

My Review:
I really enjoyed this newest book in this awesome series! I found myself immediately drawn into this well written and entertaining book. As I sit here trying to write this review, I am having a hard time trying to describe Rhys while not giving away any spoilers from the previous books in this series so I am only going to say the he has "issues". One of Rhys issues is he has a tendency to annoy most everyone he meets, Kerry in particular. Kerry decides she needs to do something about his fear of commitment and purposes a challenge. Each must submit to the other, sexually. Kerry has a secret plan though, his name is Asher D'Ettore. Rhys and Asher have instant sexual attraction but there are obstacles standing in the way of them enjoying a deep relationship. This story was so intense and emotional that I was unable to put it down until the end and even then, I wanted more! This is the third book in the No Rivals series and though it can be read as a standalone, I recommend starting with book one, Unsurpassed, and then book two, Undaunted, to fully understand and enjoy this story. I am looking forward to more books in this fantastic series and have started adding Charity Parkerson's other books to my to-be-read pile! ~Booklover Sue
