Hi, it’s February everyone in case (like me) you haven’t had time to look at the calendar. No doubt about it, LUV 
is in the air.
I’m posting from my turn of the century romance, Outrageous Pride (Unlikely Gentlemen 2) this week. Sharing Kell and Tali’s first kiss.
“If I could give ye but one wish lass, what would ye have from me?”
Tali leaned closer, studying the dings and dents on Kellan Lonigan’s face; and then she mumured, “A kiss.”
Before she could change her mind she brushed her mouth across Kell’s, closing her eyes to better savor the experience. His lips were dry and when she felt a rough indentation on his upper lip, she tentatively touched it with her tongue, identifying it as the scar she’d noticed there.
His breath was warm and tea-scented when he huffed in surprise. And then it was her turn to be startled as his big palms moved from holding her hand, to drawing her to her feet, and then moving her to his lap–all without breaking the kiss.
“You’ve completely muddled my senses,” she whispered when she could finally speak.
His teeth flashed white in a wicked grin as he rumbled, “Have I, now?”
Blurb:
When Natalia Fitzwilliam discovers that she’s the love child of a Texas rancher, her nebulous wedding plans suffer a knock-out punch.
Bare-knuckle boxer Kellan Lonigan is in Texas inspecting his investments when he recognizes Miss Fitzwilliam as a damsel in distress. Kell offers Tali his name for protection, knowing that he intends to claim the biggest prize of all—Tali’s heart.
What could a bluidy Irishman and a sheltered miss find in common? Bliss.

Have a chocolate-covered-strawberry kind of week!
I love that she surprised him – it makes him all that more human to me. Great snippet, Gem. 🙂
Oh, yum. This is sweet and hot at the same time.
(I know Kellen’s Irish, but I can’t help picturing Gerard Butler in this scene. . . sigh . . . 🙂 )
I like how she took her wish before he granted it, but I feel she should have asked for a little bit more.
I’m guessing her senses will be far more muddled…
Sexy snippet, lovely too!
Great description, and very sensual.
