Holt
She likes it quick and dirty.
I like orders and rules.
She hates small talk.
I hate to share.
She’s an open book.
I’m a closed dresser drawer.
She rides a Harley.
And that drives me f’ing nuts.
Annalyse and I have both lived in our own personal hells for half a decade.  She’s learned to love the warmth, and I’m still consumed.  But my new neighbor is stoking more than my libido these days.  We agreed on only pleasure.  But she changed the rules.

And now I’m not even sure what they are.
Maybe there’s a reason she found me that night, maybe there’s a reason I can’t stop thinking about her, maybe there’s a reason for the pain.  Maybe not.
We all look for reasons in life.  Reasons for death, love, pain.  Why one thing happens and not another?  It’s human nature.  We’ve been looking for the meaning of life since the beginning of time.  But maybe the reason for all of it — life, love, loss, heartache — is the curvy brunette living next door.

The blurb to Reason For Me truly intrigued me. As I started reading this book, I became more purestdelightawardintrigued … to the point where I couldn’t put it down. I had to find out what was eating at Holt and I had to know if Annalyse would or could fix him.

I can’t believe how deep both Holt and Anna were. They each had their own demons to slay. One jumped into the fire and let it heal. The other was being consumed by it. Together they found a way to make it through and accept their pasts to look forward to their futures.

Annalyse was one strong woman and she found a way to cope. Her blog posts were so insightful and meaningful. She actually had me looking at my life and questioning decisions that I made. She was smart, beautiful and caring. She loved Holt, owned it, but knew that he was the only one that could make things work for them. His decisions would either make or break them.

Holt lived through just as much tragedy as Anna did. The difference was how he handled it. He refused to believe he could ever love again and there was no way he would bear his soul the way she did. He couldn’t understand the need to protect her. He couldn’t understand the need to have her in his life. He couldn’t open up to her or give her what she deserved but, he had to find a way.

I was totally blown away with both of their stories and how much Holt truly listened to what Anna had to say. He came through in the end and lived up to everything that I thought he would be. Anna gave and gave and gave and was finally rewarded with what she hoped for when Holt “walked” into her life. Concessions on both sides gave them the happiness they both deserved.

I loved the flow of this story, the way it was written. Prescott Lane honestly has a wonderful way of putting pen to paper and bringing a story to life. I laughed and cried. I enjoyed the supporting characters. I adored both Holt and Annalyse and couldn’t believe that these two lost souls wouldn’t find a way to be together. And, I chose happy.

Annalyse

“You should have on a life jacket.”  

“When I kayak or when I ride my motorcycle?” I ask.

He tries not to smile, but he does.  “Pissed, huh?”

“Observant, aren’t you?”

“Motorcyclists are twenty-five percent more likely to die and five times more likely to be injured than a passenger in a car,” he says.

“You looked that up just to lecture me, didn’t you?”

“Not the point,” he says.  “No more motorcycle.”

Did he really think he could go all alpha male on me?  Usually, it would be hot as all-get-out to see a man in control, dominant, but right now alpha equals asshole!   Note to self — I should do a blog post on that.  Where have all the good alphas gone?  “Who do you think you are?” I say, walking away.  “You’re not my husband or my father.  Come to think of it, I wouldn’t let my father or husband order me around like this.”

His fingers lightly touch my elbow.  It isn’t a grab.  I barely feel it, and as quickly as he touched me, it’s over.  “I’m a doctor.  I’ve seen what . . .”

“You’re a gynecologist!  You’ve seen what a motorcycle can do to a vagina?”

Oh God, I’m in trouble.  He’s got the dirtiest look in his eye.  “I’d imagine the vibration would feel pretty damn good.”

I can’t help it and bust out laughing.  “You are impossible.”

“And it’s the law to carry a life vest for every person in a kayak,” he says.
I roll my eyes.  “You like rules.”

“I like order.”

“Ordering people around,” I say.

“Only certain people,” he says.

Don’t ask me why, but the thought of him “ordering” me around made my legs clench together, or maybe it was the mention of vibrations.  Either way, the idea of him taking control of my body didn’t sound bad to me at all.  It would be nice to not think so damn much all the time and just feel something good for a change.
