REVIEW: His Convenient Husband

His Convenient Husband by J.L. Langley


My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Short and steamy read! Looking forward to more of the Innamorati series! I love Langley's cowboys and how they're rugged, rough and sexy as hell!

Summary:A temporary arrangement? Don’t bet the ranch on it…
At the tender age of seven, newly orphaned Micah Jiminez lost everything—and got lucky. The Delaney family opened their hearts and their home, treated him like one of their own. One Delaney in particular, though, became more than a brother to Micah. The handsome and protective Tucker is the man to whom he wants to give his love.

But after a single passionate night together, Tucker rebuffs him and hightails it to Dallas to pursue his dreams. Leaving Micah to pick up the pieces of his broken heart—and feeling like a fool.

The impending death of the Delaney patriarch brings an unsavory relative out of the woodwork, threatening Micah’s beloved adopted family. They’re going to need all hands in the fight to keep The Bar D from being pulled out from under them all—including Tucker. Micah steels himself to convince the man he can’t forget to come home.

To his everlasting surprise, it’s Tucker who comes up with the perfect solution: a marriage of convenience—to Micah. His gut tells him Tucker’s motivation involves nothing more than saving the ranch. Now he just has to convince his fragile heart.

This title has been revised and expanded by more than 10,000 words from its original published version.

What I liked about this book: This Langley piece is one of her more romantic pieces focusing more on the relationship between Micah and Tucker than anything else. I liked the quick story that still revealed a well-developed plot. It takes great skill to be able to write short pieces like these and still captivate the reader. Langley definitely delivers!

Excerpt: Micah’s eyes shot open wide. He gasped and jerked back, letting go of Tucker. Micah clutched his hands into his chest, looking like a child caught with his hand in the cookie jar.

Tucker frowned. A sinking feeling settled in his stomach and his erection dwindled. Micah had been asleep.

“Don’t stop. We both want this. I’m tired of fighting it.” Catching Micah around the waist, Tucker covered Micah’s mouth with his again. He pressed through Micah’s lips as the heat of Micah’s nearly naked body pushed against him. It was absolute heaven. Micah felt so damn right in his arms, like he belonged there. Please don’t let him pull away again.

A small whimper left Micah’s lips as he opened his mouth and kissed Tucker back. His tongue tangled with Tucker’s and his arms wound around Tucker’s neck. Micah thrust against Tucker’s leg then moved back, gasping. Micah’s gaze traveled down Tucker’s body, focusing on Tucker’s already hard prick.

“Oh damn.” Tucker looked his fill too.

Micah’s stomach heaved in and out with his breath. His cock was hard and begging for attention with a wet spot staining the cotton briefs.

Tucker’s own breath caught at the sheer beauty before him. Grabbing Micah’s underwear, Tucker yanked them down Micah’s thighs and off, then drew him forward by his prick. Feeling the hard heat against his lower stomach, Tucker moaned before crashing his mouth down on Micah’s.

With a dazed look on his face, Micah pulled back again and shook his head as if to clear it. “We shouldn’t do this.” His voice didn’t sound at all convincing.

“The hell we shouldn’t.”
