Truth
I know who I am. I’m Cyrus Steel, son, brother, uncle, friend to people I choose to bring into my life.
Truth
I could fuck up anyone I want.
Truth
I know the devastation I can and have caused.
Truth
I can’t change the past, but I have chosen how to live now.
Truth
I like to fuck, and I will do a chick better than she’s ever been done. Hard and wild. No more than three hook ups. No expectations, no one gets hurt. As long as she agrees …it’s on.
One of my favorite tattoo’s bridges the V, and it says Truth.
A constant reminder of who I was and who I am now.
~Tara~
I wasn’t sure I knew how or even if I should tell him there was no one who loved me. Tony was the last person to say those words to me and he hadn’t meant it. He just wanted to use me.
That’s what this beautiful man underneath me, showed me today. He hadn’t used me, he didn’t even know me. But he thought I was beautiful, and he was nice to me. Tony was wrong about him, and even though I never want to see him again, I wish I could tell him just how wrong he was.
Can truth be altered? Can truth be seen when walls are built for protection, for self preservation? Will self doubt and years of pain cloud two hearts from finding their truth?
I’m usually a sucker for the tattooed, commitment phobic bad
boy. The description of this book had me excited, but I’m wondering now that I
finished if perhaps my expectations were a little inflated. I didn’t dislike this book, per say, but I do
think I expected a bit more from it.
Cyrus Steel is a man with rules. He plays it safe, doesn’t commit and never
spends more than three nights with the same woman. Feelings?
Forget about it! But one night he spots Tara and his protective
instincts kick right in, ushering in a momentous change in his life. Cyrus
comes from a good family, and his mother taught him not to stand by and watch a
woman be mistreated, so he steps in for Tara.
Tara has put up with Tony, simply because she has had no one else ever
take an interest in her. Tony’s
attentions make her feel wanted, and she didn’t know any better than to take
what he offered. Until Cyrus. Cyrus and Tara struggle to remain friends,
because they share an intense attraction.
However, each has their own reasons for not wanting to take it further,
but inevitable lines are crossed and blurred.
The question we’re left with is: what happens when Cyrus’ 3 night rule
is brought into play?
I found myself a bit confused by Cyrus and his
motivations. I mean, he’s everything I
normally like in a BBF…gruff, tattooed but underneath it all you know there’s a
heart of gold inside. I guess I just
didn’t get why he and his brothers are so against the idea of commitment. They had good examples in their upbringing,
and from what I could tell they love and respected their mother…so why the
three night rule? Plus, the banter
between him and his brothers kind of made me mad! They just seemed so dumb and immature…I just
didn’t get it. Plus I was a bit confused
about how he became interested in Tara in the first place.
I did like the contrast between Cyrus and Tara as
characters, though. They were basically
polar opposites of one another, which really seemed to work here. Cyrus is a ladies man who doesn’t get his
heart involved EVER, is emotionally unchallenged and then Tara who is truly
innocent but really emotionally challenging, to herself and others. As the story progressed, it became clear that
in a weird way, they balanced each other.
The writing in this book I would have to describe
as…original. It’s crass but I think it’s
written that way to underscore the difference between the H/h. Cyrus is all rough and tumble and Tara is, as
previously mentioned, innocent and demure.
I wasn’t sure at first, but it worked, actually.
Overall, this book is firmly in my “ok” category. There were problems with character
development and plot that left me feeling confused in parts. Plus, I thought that the chemistry between
the two main characters, which is the cornerstone of any story like this,
seemed lacking. There were also were some issues with editing that I found a
bit distracting throughout. I give it
3.5 stars, because I was intrigued enough to finish it, but it left me feeling
a bit underwhelmed.
I will start by saying i have not read the rest of the books in the series
and I was a bit lost and confused in the beginning. I would honestly recommend
reading them in order after not doing so myself. Okay so this story focuses on
Cyrus and Tara. Cyrus is a bit jaded with love and has rules for his
interactions with women. Wild and hard and three times only. I know there were
others but those are the ones that stuck out.
"Why the f*ck would I want a
relationship that I had to worry about feelings, and dates, and hearts, and
flower sh!t so that I could make love to a chick?"
Romantic, huh? But actually, I really liked him in the story, flaws and all.
Tara is the complete opposite. She lost her parents when she was young and was
shuffled through the system until she aged out. She winds up with a real jerk
face and needs to be saved from that relationship. Of course, since Cyrus met
her one time and then ran into her at a party, he would be the obvious guy to
save her, right? Note the little bit of sarcasm here. While I loved the plot of
the story and there were so many things it had going for it, there were also
some really flawed parts that needed some tightening up for me. There were also
a lot of grammatical errors. If it weren't for those, this would have been a
solid 4 star read for me.
Okay back to Tara and Cyrus. We go through their denial of their attraction
for each other all through it while Cyrus and his family help get her life back
on track. I loved that Tara was strong and a fighter. I also loved her faults
and quirks that made her, her. I loved seeing Cyrus around her being all alpha
while being really sweet also. I sobbed like a baby at the last part of the
book when he said the 11 things for her. You have to read it to understand, but
seriously it was soooooo sweet. I turned to mush! So overall, I did enjoy the
story. But like a lot of recent "romances" and interactions, things
just were not realistic. No virgin comes THAT many times starting out....well
unless she has a medical condition. If Tara had one and it was just not
mentioned, I apologize. Another thing that REALLY did not jive for me was when
we find out why Cyrus is the way he is about relationships. I was waiting for
some traumatic story that would equal Tara's and when it was all said and done,
I was just like seriously?!
So overall, sweet story, great alpha male, some heartbreaking back
story.....Everything I look for in a story, just needed some tightening up and
editing to be a must read for me to recommend.
She was shaking all over which was kind of hot. Not this time, this shit was mine. I wrapped my arms around her legs supporting that little peach of an ass, and stood. She held on tight as I pushed her back against the wall and fucked her with my tongue and sucked her little nub until she screamed and dug into my back. Her body trembled as I continued and she began to plead for mercy. I slid that hot drenched little cunt down my face rubbing my stubble against her thighs and slowly down to the floor.
“Oh my God,” she panted.
“Birdie that was just a taste,” and I’d never tasted anything so fucking sweet in my life.
I pulled my shirt off, and her eyes looked over me. For a moment I’d forgotten she’d never seen me shirtless. Hell yeah, my body was hard but she was checking out the art. Her little fingers traced the piece on my rib and she looked up at me, “It hurts.”
I couldn’t think or speak or have any desire to explain just how bad, not now, not ever.
“A little, but you wanna know what will make it feel all better?” I picked her little ass up and laid her down and shed my pants.
Her eyes widened when she caught a glimpse of my hard cock, yeah that’s right, fucking hung. And hell no that’s not arrogance--- that’s truth. Just like it said across the V. She fingered that as well tracing the letters in awe and wonder.
“Birdie, you gonna play with my ink, or give me a little somethin’?”
A smile crept across her face as she looked up at me. I wasn’t use to this shit, this curiosity and when they say it kills the cat they’re fucking wrong, it kills the cock.
“It’s real big,” she grabbed right under the head and I groaned as the electricity of her touch pulsed throughout me.
“You wanna say hello?”
“I wanna kiss it.”
“If you’re waiting for permission, you’ve already got it, do with it what you want.”
She was killing me with the little pecks up and then back down my shaft. She looked up at me and her tongue darted out and licked from my balls to just beneath my head and then back down. I was no bitch but I am pretty fucking sure I was going to cry if she didn’t suck my tip.
She looked up at me again and smiled, “You taste good.”
And now I was gonna blow it all over her face, one more word and I was a fucking goner.
“Suck my cock Birdie,” and she did.
Her tongue circled around the tip and I knelt on the bed in front of her. Those green eyes never left mine she watched me as she went up and down my length slowly then fast and then slow again. When she sucked hollowing her cheeks and moaned on the way up I pulled back because I wasn’t about to blow my wad yet. I wanted in.
I pushed her back and sucked on her left titty and I worked it as I rubbed her drenched little pussy. She pushed against my hand slowly and I eased a finger inside her tight little twat. I was gonna have to work at this, fuck she was tight. I shoved another finger in and she cried out, “Yes.”
And her hips began to meet my hand, “Kiss me, please kiss me.”
“Fuck yeah,” I started at her tits and made my way slowly up her collar bone. And across her jaw as my fingers continued working her hard. She was softening, stretching and soaking my fucking hand. I couldn’t wait for her to put a choke hold around my cock.
She turned her head towards me and nudged my face with her nose I looked up and she grabbed my lip with her teeth. I opened and her tongue rubbed my lips, hot and sweet. I pulled back and wrapped mine around hers slowly licking her lips and then tasting her. Damn, damn, damn. She tasted as sweet here. I was licking inside her mouth: tasting her as she tasted me.
When she reached down and stroked me, asking for me, I almost wasn’t ready. Kissing her was hot as hell and I didn’t want to stop. I rolled over taking her with me, on top of me. I held one hand behind her head as I continued tasting her and I fumbled in the nightstand for a condom. I put it in without breaking the seal of our lips.
I rolled back over careful not to crush her and reluctantly pulled my mouth from hers. I wanted to hear her screaming my name when I crashed into her. Holding my body above her I rubbed my cock against the warmth of her opening and pushed slowly. I had to work real hard. But as hard as I was working to get inside her, she was working her little hips, too. Her eyes were sealed tight and her lip was between her teeth.
I bent down and kissed her, rolling my hips as I stretched her. Her hands held tight to the sides of my head as she whimpered against my mouth. I wasn’t sure how much longer I could take it before I just nailed her. She winced a bit and I pulled back but not too far-- I was sure as hell not going to retreat now. I reached between us and felt that little ball of nerves and slowly, lightly rubbed it. She pushed against me and I swear to God I was bottoming out but when she thrust again it was so fucking hot. She moaned and whispered in my ear, “Roll over.”
I wasn’t much of a bottom guy but seeing her little ass perched on me was something I couldn’t resist.
Sigma was my very first love (imaginary boyfriend). He lived about fifteen miles from my childhood home, (a farm). I took him chicken noodle soup every night on one of our families snowmobiles, (Summer, Fall, Winter, and Spring). Apparently he was very ill and "Thank God" I was able to take care of him.
Next was my very first self publishing gig. At eight my cousins and I (and yes I was the president) wrote a newsletter and sold it to our family members.
Years later I decided to put it back into print to entertain my cousin as she was on an aircraft carrier on 9/11 (Kick ass cousin BTW) and very far away from home during a very scary time for our country, (protecting our butts).
Fast forward to 2012. I read 50 shades and thought, I can do that, (meaning writing). I have two complete series The Love Series, and Wrapped. I have two new series Burning Souls and Men of Steel. Ten books in 13 months. CrAzY and wonderful.
I love love! ( I would love to reference Pinks new song here, however I am not sure if that would cause copyright issues.)I also tend to enjoy watching people grow and change with self realization and moments of clarity that just sneak up behind you and smack you in the head. I love people and have always been able to see both sides of a story. Each person that comes into our life leaves us with something it is what we choose to do with it that helps us grow.
I live in central New York in the middle of nowhere and am surrounded by family and friend most the time. I run a small business out of my home and spend time reading and doing the typical Mommy things. Our house is full of pets and friends and noise ninety percent of the time, and I would have it no other way.
I love people,music, laughter, hugs, and books.
