Review

Readers have definitely heard about bridezilla, but what do you call an over the top future mother-in-law and an outlandish set of wedding planners who seem to have ulterior motives besides making Blake and Jen’s wedding the event of the year? I call it a recipe for disaster but also a great way to see how Blake and Jen handle the pressure of making their hectic lives work amidst the glitz and make believe of Hollywood where no one is truly who they seem to be and secrets and hidden truths have a way of coming out in the worse possible way regardless of the best of intentions or lack thereof for full disclosure.

Boy did I miss Blake’s filthy mouth and bedroom prowess! He’s back and even sexier, but the best part is that he is completely invested in his relationship with his tiger and ready to take their relationship to the next level – a place at the start of the That Man series he nor readers ever expected him to be. But when you’ve lived a life like Blake, nothing can ever run smoothly and there’s a certain underhanded feline, looking to get her claws back into Blake and send Jen packing. And despite how solid Blake and Jen’s relationship is, when you throw the craziness of planning a wedding where your decisions don’t matter on top of an insane programming schedule due to deadlines and commitments, doubt has a way of festering into the strongest of bonds, especially when time together is limited.

That Man 4, the first part of Blake and Jen’s wedding holds true to Nelle L’Amour’s writing style of zinging one liners, alpha male hotness, steamy scenes, and devious bitches looking to make trouble for the hero and heroine. Nelle has illustrated Blake’s transformation throughout the series extremely well; readers have witnessed him go from manwhore with no emotional investment to a man in love ready to devote his life to the woman of his dreams. It definitely hasn’t been an easy process, and yes, he’s fucked up along the way, but that’s what makes Blake even more endearing; he knows he’s not perfect, regardless of how pompous he is or how “perfect” he claims to be, but he wants to be a better man for his tiger and he’s well on his way. Do I wish he had Jen’s back a bit more in this installment in regards to his mother and the wedding planner from hell, of course, but come on, it’s his mom, and she’s been this way since forever. I don’t know too many men who could hold their ground with her. Jen’s an emotional mess in part 4, and I can’t blame her. She’s overwhelmed; her voice is not being heard, and it’s her gosh darn wedding. I so wanted her to tell off the wedding planners and elope, but she also doesn’t want to disappoint her parents or Blake’s. She has a lot on her plate, which is only compounded by her fears and insecurities.

In true Nelle L’Amour fashion, readers are left with a doozy of a cliffhanger, and while I was thrown for a loop and left with my mouth wide open, I have no doubts that Blake and his alpha attitude will take back control and give his tiger her happy ending regardless of what he has to risk or what it costs him to do so.

I can’t wait for That Man 5!

Excerpt

Jen’s eyes stayed steady on my face as she digested my words. It was hard to read what was going through her head. I couldn’t blame her for distrusting me with my checkered past. Her silence was killing me.

Finally, she parted her lips. “Why didn’t you tell me about her?”

The softness in her voice and yearning in her eyes provoked me to run my hand along her jaw line. She didn’t flinch. I looked deep into her soulful green orbs. “Because she means nothing to me, tiger. She’s ancient history. I didn’t want to upset you.” And I didn’t want to go there.

She fluttered her long-lashed eyelids. My cock tensed. I had to claim her. Let her know she was mine.

“There’s only you, baby. I totally always love you. Only you. Every waking minute of the day. You do things to me no other woman ever has.” I put her hand to my cock. It was hard as rock. And then I put her other hand to my heart. “My heart only beats for you. You own it. No girl has ever owned my heart except you. I want you to believe me.”

“I do.” Her voice was a whisper.

The sweet innocence of her voice aroused me. I pushed my hips against her, pressing my erection firmly against her center.

“You’re the only one I want to fill. I want fill your mouth. Fill your pussy. And fill your heart.” Impulsively, I crushed my mouth against hers and gave her a fierce, passionate kiss as my hands slid down her pajama bottom. I fiddled with my pants button and fly, and out sprung my cock ever so ready for her. With the help of my hand, I shoved it inside her, surprised she was so hot and wet. Placing my palms against the wall for support, I began thrusting into her forcefully, filling her to the hilt, while I tongue fucked her mouth and groped her tits. Groans escaped her throat and her breathing grew ragged. I picked up my pace, making my thrusts harder and faster. Her breaths came in pants and her groans became whimpers. She pressed hard against my shoulders, pushing me away and forcing me to free her mouth. Her face looked heated and impassioned. So fucking beautiful.

“Blake,” she panted out. “Is this makeup sex?”

“If. You. Think. We. Had. A. fight,” I grunted back with each successive, hard, long stroke.

“I’m not sure.”

“Just shut up and let me fuck you.” God. No one felt as good as my tiger.

“Okay,” she groaned, letting me reclaim her mouth.

Without losing contact, I lifted her up against the wall. Wrapping her legs around me like a warm pretzel, she splayed her hands on my ass, and rocked her hips forward to meet my thrusts. Her whimpers morphed into shrieks, and I knew she was close to coming. Hard. I wanted to hear my tiger roar my name. So, I released her mouth again, not caring if she woke up the neighbors.

“Come for me, tiger,” I urged, banging her into submission.

“Blake!” she cried out as she let go, her body shuddering inside and out with spasms of ecstasy. She clung to me as my own epic climax took hold of me, my load bathing her with sweet bliss.

Catching her breath, she rasped, “We should fight more often.”

I smoothed her damp hair while she held on to me. “Nah, baby. We should just talk more often.” And then I smacked my lips against hers so she couldn’t say another word.
