Hi everyone. I have a cold that has left me sneezing and grouchy. š After self-medicating with tea, aspirin, and sleep this week, I’ve started to feel a tad better.I hope you are all well and escape the cold and flu season without coming down with anything.

This week I’m sharing another snippet from Taboo Frequency. My apologies for the creative punctuation I’ve used posting this scene.
Heād had a few ventures in bed since heād lost his leg, and none of the women had wanted seconds after theyād seen the mechanical extension and knee replacement; or maybe he hadnāt tried hard enough. Hell, he didnāt know anymore; it irritated him to think about women, ex-wives, failed relationships, and the difficulty of getting good sexādammitāmake that any sex.
The hope that something fine might happen disappeared and as his mood soured, he prepared to swing through a fast food place, and play dumb on the way back to her carāno harm done and have a good life little girl.
But before he turned the truck and began his retreat, Kiley took charge and Luke didnāt have to do a damn thing the rest of the night but smile.
āI donāt take men home with me and I donāt go home with strangers; are you interested in having sex?ā
āYep,ā he said gruffly, āwhere to?ā
āGot a condom?ā she asked andĀ gave him directions to the local make-out site.
Not one to look a gift horse in the mouth, he pointed at his glove compartment and muttered, āSome in there I think.āĀ Then he wished he hadnāt added, āI think.ā She didnāt need to know how long it had been since heād needed one.

Blurb: When ultimate impulse collides with maximum controlā¦
Itās all about taking charge. Luke Danvers has his future planned to the nth degreeāuntil he steps on an IED in Afghanistan. Bitter, angry, and emotionally adrift, he returns to the States, ready to spend the rest of his life pissed off at the world.
Kiley Endicott has never been a poster child for moderation. Married and widowed young, sheās raising twins on her own. Since impulse has always ruled her life, itās not easy being a sedate parent under the critically watchful eye of her family.
A Friday night lapse in sanity, leads Kiley to a hook up with Luke Danvers. Even in the cab of a truck, heās an awesome lover. She wants more. But sheās got to be circumspect, nobody can know.
Luke hasnāt had fun ināforever. But he canāt stop grinning after he meets Kiley Endicott.Ā Itās more than her being a totally uninhibited lover, but God knows he canāt get enough of that either. She makes him laugh.
She says nobody can know. Okay, heās trained in stealth. He sets up a call system, a taboo frequency, guaranteeing her twenty four hour access in every way. But heās not just waiting for their secret meets. Heās planning a siege.

Oh gosh, I really love Luke! And Kiley definitely knows what she wants. Great excerpt! Can’t wait to read it. š
The irresistible force (Kiley) meets the movable object (Luke).
Nice snippet–I like Luke and Kiley. I can relate to Luke having knee replacement.
Hope you continue to feel better–a lot of people have been getting sick.
Ah Gem, you are the best. What a terrific snippet/sexy and fun. Thanks a bunch!
She may be impulsive, but she’s practical too!
Fun snippet.
Interesting snippet – I like the way all his expectations are promptly upended by her! Glad to hear you’re on the mend š
Haha, she is right down to business, and sounds like he’s up for it!
What a shame that the results of his… injury? birth defect?… should scare off a woman when it seems obvious the man beneath is worth more than a fling.
Outstanding scene, Gem! Definitely tbr material. š
Interesting dynamics already, Gem. I can’t wait to see what happens as they get more involved. I am guessing his ‘bionics’ don’t phase her one bit.
I like them both! She’s certainly turning his life upside down. Her own, too, I’ll bet. Great snippet.
I hope you feel better soon.
Great snippet. I think he may have met someone who he has no previous reference to understand. This should be fun.
They seem like a fun pairing. I love that she’s taking charge — nice change.
Interesting! I hope he finds someone who loves him. Just sayin’. š
Poor guy sounds so bitter and angry at the world, it’s not fair. I’m glad she’s giving him some surprises though.
