Two lives…as close to perfect as they can be.
Camryn Townsend has everything she’s always dreamed of…an amazing family, supportive friends, and the perfect job. Everything a girl could want. Or is it? A trip back to her childhood home threatens to unravel her web of perfection.
Her problem…she’s in love with her best friend and she’s too scared to sacrifice their friendship for a love she’s always wanted.
Jamie Banks’ life is the epitome of perfection. His company is thriving, his band is on the cusp of stardom, and the girl he loves is returning home.
His problem…the girl he loves has been his best friend for as long as he can remember and he’s not sure he’s ready to sacrifice his best friend for a lover. Pursuing a relationship with the possibility of losing her has him second-guessing everything he knows.
Unspoken words are the only thing standing in their way.
He leans down and moves his mouth over mine, devouring its softness. Slowly, I lift my arms around his neck, running my hands through his thick hair. I tug on his hair, not wanting this kiss to end.
When he pulls back, he leaves my mouth burning with fire.
With a wicked grin on his face, he points to the shower. “I have to get out of here before I have my way with you. Your brother is out there waiting. Go get a shower, cool off, do what you have to do to calm yourself down. But if I hear moaning, I am gonna be all over you whether your brother is here or not.”
I chuckle knowing what he is insinuating. Before he can move, I bite his lower lip, sucking it into my mouth. I release his bottom lip and place a soft kiss on it. “Mr. Banks, I will have you know, if I plan on moaning, it would be because you made me, it won’t be self-induced.”
I push myself off the counter, walking over to turn on the shower. When I look over my shoulder Jamie is standing there, his jaw clenched, his eyes slightly narrowed.
I am going to give him a show and drive him crazy. He thought he was cute when we were younger when he jumped naked into the pool at my birthday party, I am going to have a little fun with him today.
I pull the hem of tank top up and over my head, leaving me standing there topless. My back is facing Jamie, so he can’t see my breasts. I slowly peel my sleep shorts off of my body, one leg at a time and toss them in his direction. When I turn around his muscle flicks angrily in his jaw. I fix my eyes on his. “Do you like what you see, Mr. Banks?” Knowing that he is going to lose his shit, I quickly get in the shower and shut the curtain behind me.
Peeking around the shower curtain, I squeal at the intrusion into my personal space as Jamie smirks at me saying so quietly that I’m not entirely sure I heard him, “You think you’re funny, don’t you? Two can play at this game. You better pray the next time I see you naked, your brother isn’t in the next room. Cause if he is, he will hear what you sound like when I’m making you come with my mouth.” He reaches out and pauses mid-air as he’s about to stroke my breast. Instinctively, I lean toward his touch wanting his hand there, wanting him in here, knowing my brother is literally steps away from me grabbing him and pulling him into the shower with me. Inhaling a breath, never breaking eye contact with him, I moan, quiet enough that no one hears but he heard. Smirking at me with lust-filled eyes, he pulls his hand back, retreating the hand that was so close to the water beading on my nipple that my skin feels his absence and he never even touched me.
And he stalks out of the bathroom. Just like that.
Holy. Shit. I need to make this a cold shower after what he just said to me, after how he almost touched me. A smile spreads across my face as I hear the bathroom door shut. One for Cami, One for Jamie.
Why did I invite my brother with us again?
COPYRIGHT 2016 Unspoken Words by H.P. Davenport
Unspoken Words is an excellent debut novel from H.P. Davenport and is a great beginning to her Unspoken Love Series. To be honest when reading the book synopsis I really anticipated another best friends become lovers story like so many I have read before. But Unspoken Words is so much more than that.
Cami and Jamie have known each other for as long as they can remember and have always been best friends and nearly inseparable. As the years have passed, they have both developed an attraction and affection for the other which goes far beyond friendship. Both unsure of attempting a relationship that goes deeper for fear they could lose the friendship they share, they have chosen not to reveal their true feelings to each other. But when Cami comes home for an extended vacation, she and Jamie once again become inseparable and the intensity of their feelings escalates into something they can no longer ignore. But when a terrifying event shakes their world, Jamie does everything he can to hold on to “his girl” never faltering in his undying love for her. Will his love and persistence be enough to save Cami and lead them both to the happily ever after they both deserve and hoped they would finally find together?
Unspoken Words is not just another romance. Swoon-worthy, sizzling hot moments as well as biting your nails, OMG moments make this such a different twist on your standard romance novel. J.P. Davenport has taken my heart on a rollercoaster ride of emotions at times turning it inside out making it ache from the complexity of the plot and storyline. The resolute connection shared between Cami and Jamie despite the difficult and challenging circumstances they have to overcome make this a very special story. In addition to Cami and Jamie, all of the supporting characters from her brother to all of their friends, were an excellent addition to the story as well. I look forward to more from H.P. Davenport and hope to see more of Cami and Jamie while she takes my heart on another journey in her Unspoken Love series.
