"I'm sorry," he said. "I didn't mean for that to happen."

Her face was flushed, her lips still slightly parted as she looked up at him. "I know you didn't," she said, her voice and her gaze steady. "I know you are going away again Ruairi, and I know there won't be a place for me in your life when you do but... but can't we pretend it's not like that, just for today."

At a complete loss for words, he stared down at her. She was keeping whatever was going on inside her head to herself. All he could see reflected in her wide grey eyes were his own feelings of desire and frustration. It brought him to his senses and, his heart heavy, he shook his head.

"You know it doesn't work like that, Maggie. If we take today, then we'll want tomorrow too, and the day after that."

"And would that really be so terrible?" she whispered, her face pale now, her body rigid in the circle of his arms.

"Yes, because then I'd break your heart."

BWL BLURBATHON - RELUCTANT DATE by Sheila Claydon

RELUCTANT DATE by Sheila Claydon from Books We Love Publishing available at:
http://amzn.to/WNE8Vr
 

In a rut, and with her love life at an all time low, Claire Harris makes a New Year’s resolution to join an Internet dating agency. Her challenge is twelve dates or twelve months, whichever comes first, unless she is lucky enough to meet Mister Right along the way. On her final date, and convinced that only frogs are left in the dating pool, she is relieved that it’s nearly over…until she meets enigmatic American, Daniel Marchant. The only problem is, his brother has set him up, and Daniel makes it very clear that he’s not interested in dating anyone at all. He is looking for someone to work in his developing conservation research company though, and when he discovers that Claire has the photographic and cataloguing skills he needs, he offers her a dream job in Florida.

But Dolphin Key is not as idyllic as it seems. There are too many secrets and too much heartache. And Claire has her own secrets as well. Not that she is going to share them with anyone, least of all with Daniel, because he must never know he has stolen her heart.

Wonderful story! The story had me from the start to finish, this book was an emotionally good story that had a great romance with humor entwined. I believe anyone who reads this book will enjoy it (Lady Atlantis)

Perfect warming read for a grey, cold winter day. Another heart warming romance from Sheila Claydon. (Liz)
