When I was a little boy, the best thing about the
holiday season was unwrapping presents on Christmas morning — tearing off the
paper and tossing it on the floor. Now that I’m a man, I like to unwrap slowly,
deliberately, taking my time to savor what lies before me. I still like to throw the
wrapping on the floor, but now I know the best gifts come wrapped in
lace.
And unlike when I was a kid, I won’t get sick of this
present by New Year’s. I’ll definitely be playing with this girl day after day after
day.
After six years avoiding my hometown, the last
thing I expected when I returned was a wannabe bad girl to unwrap my heart and rip
open my soul. But that’s exactly what happened. Now if I can just get the hell out of
my own way, maybe I’ll finally get the best gift of all — her!
Come get unwrapped by Drew this holiday.
“There was this guy.”
“OOH, a guy.”
“Shut up,” I said, laughing. “We flirted and drank all
night, and he was so hot and sweet and. . . .”
“You are totally gushing over a boy. I can’t believe
it.”
“I am not,” I protested, but I knew I was. “I don’t
even know his name.”
“Why not?”
“I threw up before we got that far.”
Sabrina fell back on my bed laughing. “You did
not.”
I hid my head back under my pillow. “I
did.”
“Girl, you are hopeless,” she said, still laughing.
“How hot was he?”
I came out from hiding. “Pretty damn
hot.”
“As in you’d shave for him? That hot?”
“As in I’d wax for him.”
Sabrina started to fan herself, and I got up and
headed to my bathroom, looking for some aspirin. “We’ve got to find this wax-worthy
gentleman,” Sabrina called out.
My Take:
WOW!!! This was a great, standalone, "warm feeling" kinda story, touching on one of my favorite kind of romances- childhood friends turned lovers. It had a touch of family drama, but nothing too heavy that would disrupt all the feelings from the characters in the book.
Wrapped in Lace is my first read by Prescott Lane, and I enjoyed it, and read until I basically passed out because I couldn't get enough of the story. Wrapped in Lace was one I loved getting lost in. I received an arc for an honest review. I can tell you, that this story was amazing. Absolutely loved it!
Prescott Lane is the author of First
Position, Perfectly Broken, and her new release, Quiet Angel. She is originally from
Little Rock, Arkansas, and graduated from Centenary College with a degree in
sociology. She went on to receive her MSW from Tulane University, after which she
worked with developmentally delayed and disabled children. She married her college
sweetheart, and they currently live in New Orleans with their two children and two
crazy dogs. Prescott started writing at the age of five, and sold her first story about a
talking turtle to her father for a quarter. She later turned to writing romance novels
because there aren't enough happily ever afters in real life.
