Exclusive excerpt:
I only had a moment to observe how very clean it was before he had me against the wall, pinned by his huge physique.
“You never came.” His voice was a low, husky whisper. “I waited all night.”
My hands rested on his chest, and heat flamed through me with every heartbeat. My eyes traveled up, up, up to his. They were darkened now, and I was certain he was thinking the same thing as me.
He remembered how fantastically our bodies came together two nights ago. I barely registered him reaching out to lock the door.
“I’m sorry,” was all I could say.
“When you walked in the restaurant tonight… god, you’re so beautiful.” He spoke against my skin as his lips pressed into my brow, his beard roughing my closed eyelids. “Are you feeling bad?”
“No,” I managed to say despite the heat surging through me as his lips moved to my temple. “I... didn't think I could eat.”
“Good,” he said in a thick voice before covering my mouth with his. Mine opened quickly, drawing him in. Our tongues entwined before his lips moved to my jaw then down my neck.
"I thought about you all day.” His breath whispered across my skin, and I couldn't stop a surge of desire low in my stomach. “Will you let me have you here?”
“Yes,” I barely spoke, and he dropped to his knees.
He gathered the thin fabric of my dress, shoving it up to my waist as he caught the side of my thong with his thumb.
Tia Louise is a former journalist, world-traveler, and collector of beautiful men (who inspire ALL of her stories... *wink*)---turned wife, mommy, and novelist.
It's possible she has a slight truffle addiction. And she will never look at a family restroom the same way again.
One to Hold is her debut adult romance.

Review:
Tia Louise knows how to write. There’s no doubt about that, folks. Her
grammar and spelling is impeccable, unlike other indie authors. The plot was
interesting. When my friend gave this book to me for a review, I was EXCITED. It
was my first ARC, plus the cover was cute. I had high hopes for this one.
But this book was a disappointment to me. *insert sad face* sigh.
Okay, I’m female. I can admit. Derek Alexander was pretty hot. The facial hair and
smoldering eyes got me. He emanated Alpha. They had sexual chemistry, all
right. The cover spoke of their sexy relationship.
But to me, that was it. Their relationship was all sexy and
steamy but the readers don’t get to feel the growth of their love. The
introductory part was too fast. I didn’t get to know who Melissa was or had a
connection with her before BAM! They were against the wall. (BAM!)
It was written well, but the characters weren’t alive. You
don’t fall in love with the hero or the heroine because you don’t know who they
are. Though Tia Louise wrote well, she didn’t bring life to the characters.
Only the last 1/3 part of this book was worth it and
actually gripped me. Twists were thrown in. And the twist was my favorite part.
This showed Melissa’s emotions that you could feel right along with her.
This was a quick read. The scenes were steamy and sexy, if
that’s what you’re looking for. But as a reader that prefers romance with her
smut, there are other books out there to read. If you want to give Miss Tia
Louise a chance to tell you her love story, I have nothing against that. The
book had its high points. If Tia Louise were to release a different book, I
would read it. She has the ability to write a great and captivating book. And
some hot smut.
