~ Synopsis ~

Liv and Dean West have always fallen together, but this time they might fall apart...
Liv and Dean have everything…almost. With a rambunctious toddler, crazy work schedules, and too many responsibilities, they’ve lost sight of their passionate, intimate marriage. And Professor West is none too happy about that.
Determined to lure his wife into hot new adventures, Dean struggles with his need to have Liv all to himself and the reality of sharing her with the world.
Then he gets an opportunity that could change their lives…and Liv is faced with the prospect of her white knight going places where she can’t follow.

~ Excerpt ~
I grab the spatula and slap frosting on the cake like I’m flogging it. Dean comes up behind me.

“I missed you,” he remarks.

I growl in response. “I love you,” he adds.

Another growl rumbles in my throat. I turn and smack Dean’s chest with the spatula, leaving a smear of chocolate on his shirt.

“You were supposed to be home at eight,” I say accusingly. “I had it all planned out. Nicholas was going to be sleeping peacefully, I’d be showered and all prettied up with lingerie on under my dress, waiting for you with a glass of scotch and a delicious gourmet dinner, followed by homemade chocolate cake. Afterward, I was planning to take you upstairs and actually get sexy.

“However, since you were inconsiderate enough to come home three hours early, you get nothing.” I wave the spatula in the air and turn back to the cake. “Nothing!”

“Oh, I’ve got something.” Dean slides his hands around my waist and pushes his groin up against my bottom. “I’ve got the hottest, sexiest, most perfect wife in the universe.”

“Hah. Good luck with that.”

“Mmm.” Dean pushes my hair away from my nape and kisses the back of my neck. “You smell like Spaghetti Os with meatballs. My favorite.”

“Again…” I push my hips backward in a half-hearted attempt to shove him away, but the movement only presses my ass closer against him. “Good luck.”

“I don’t need anymore luck.” Dean presses his lips in a line over the ridge of my collarbone. “I’ve already got you.”

~ Review ~
Another book in this series from Nina Lane was a welcome surprise.  Dean and Liv have been a favorite couple of mine since originally meeting them in 2012. 

Nina makes it very easy to fall back into Liv & Dean's life.  The depiction of their story is so real that you can very easily relate.  Adore picks up pretty much right the end of  Awaken.  We find Dean again is off on his worldly travels while Liv remains in Mirror Lake with their son Nicholas.  The joys of motherhood taking a backseat to the chaos of having a toddler.  

Balance....it's what we all seek but Liv & Dean are having trouble finding that common ground.  I was truly upset by the fact that they seemed so disconnected at times.  Nina was slowly breaking my heart with the turn of each page.  I just kept hoping that they would find a way to work through their issues but it seemed as thought they just kept growing.

Professor Dean West has only had eyes for Liv for what seems like forever.  There is no roaming eye here.  She is his everything.  But right now with work, a future job prospect and Liv vacant in the romance department he too is feeling the strain of their relationship.  More distance is not what they need.

Nina pulled out all the stops in this book taking us on an emotional roller coaster with Dean & Liv.  I definitely shed more than a few tears reading this.  Her writing of the story makes it personal.  You can totally feel yourself in their position.   Can I tell you that I was afraid that this could be the end of Dean and Liv?    Is it?  Guess you are going to have to grab your copy of Adore and find out for yourself.    If you haven't had the pleasure of meeting this amazing couple you most definitely should.  It is one of my most recommended series.
