The countdown was on—three days. We
still needed to finish up the workweek before boarding a plane, and my insides
felt like a ticking time bomb.
That was probably why Drew, Caroline,
Nathan, and I all went out to lunch—to relax. We’d decided on a sandwich shop
not far from the office, specializing in grilled subs and fresh-cut fries. Drew
drove Caroline and me, while Nathan was a few minutes behind due to a meeting
with a client.
After ordering for Nathan and myself, I
searched for a table for the four of us. The restaurant was pretty empty, being
that it was mid-week, so there were lots of options. I found one and waited for
the others to join me.
“So, are you changing your name,
hyphenating, or keeping Palmer?” Drew asked as he took the seat across from me.
He’d learned fast that the seat beside me was reserved for Nathan.
I shook my head like mad. “Hell, no… Am
I keeping Palmer?” I scoffed. It wasn’t hard to imagine where the anger stormed
from for a name that’d been mine for thirty years. “As soon as we get back,
Palmer is gone. I don’t want to be associated with that man anymore.” I smiled
at him, pushing all the negativity away.
Drew nodded. “I figured. Can’t call you
DAP anymore. Maybe I’ll just start DAT. Who DAT?”
I rolled my eyes and let out a small
snicker. “That is the stupidest name. You haven’t called me that in years,
therefore it and all incarnations are void.”
“I can always bring it back.”
“No. Its statute of limitations is
eighty years.”
“I’d like to appeal.”
“Appeal denied.” I clasped my hands
together and cocked my head at him.
“Why?”
“You don’t have the appropriate
paperwork.”
“What the hell is going on over here?
Lawyer porn?” Caroline asked as she sat next to Drew.
“We were discussing DAP.”
Caroline paused, then shook her head.
“That was the stupidest nickname.”
“Oh, come on, it was different.” The
muscles in his forearm flexed, and he grinned.
“It made it sound like you were calling
her some cleaning agent. ‘DAP will get out all your stains!’”
“Lila works just fine,” I said and took
a bite of my sandwich.
“I’ve got some names for her, but they
aren’t for polite company.” Nathan’s arm wrapped around me as he sat down and
pulled me close for a kiss.
I looked up at him. “What about
Honeybear?”
“Honeybear?” Caroline and Drew asked in
unison.
I could swear Nathan’s cheeks pinked
up. “Yeah, you’re my Honeybear. Public or private, but I’d prefer private. I’ve
got an image to keep up, after all.”
“That’s worse than DAP.” Drew had a
look of disgust on his face.
“I think it’s cute. Very different and
shows a different side of Nate.” Caroline smiled across the table at us.
“Thank you, Caroline.” Nathan smiled
back at her, then took a bite of his sandwich, moaning as he chewed.
I let out a giggle. “Hungry?”
“Fuck, yes. I haven’t eaten all day.
Someone wanted to exercise this morning, and I missed breakfast.” He elbowed me
and grinned.
“Oh, God, I don’t want to hear about
the kinky, fucked up shit you two get into.” Drew made a gagging sound, then
set his sandwich down. “Great. Now all I can see is your fucking hairy balls.”
“Hey, I said exercise—you’re the one
who twisted it into my ass being naked.” Nathan chuckled. “And what the hell
are you doing see my balls? I thought you’d be envisioning Lila, though I’m
glad you weren’t, but is there something you need to tell us?”
Drew glared at Nathan, then shot a fry
in his direction. “Shut the fuck up.”
Caroline rolled her eyes. “Yup, bunch
of professional lawyers over here, not that anyone would guess.”
Drew sat up straighter and held his
head high. “Professional when we need to be.”
Caroline quirked her brow at them.
“Frat boys the rest of the time?”
Drew took a bite, then wiped his mouth.
“You know I wasn’t a frat boy.”
“True, but I’m willing to bet Nate
was.” Caroline turned her blue eyes back to Nathan, and he held up his right
hand.
“Guilty.”
I gasped in shock and pulled back. “My
God, what am I marrying?”
He eyed me sideways, his lip twitching
up. “Prince Charming, remember?”
I scoffed. “This is one fucked up fairy
tale.”
Nathan nodded, then he turned toward me,
his eyes softening as he pulled me closer. “Yes, it is, but it’s ours.”
“Oh, by the way, I ran into someone who
knows you when we were at the bridal shop.” I’d forgotten all about it.
His brow quirked. “Yeah? Who?”
I wracked my brain trying to remember
his name. “Mack something. Said you met back when you were working on the
Marconi case.”
Nathan swallowed hard, and set his
sandwich down as he turned away from me. His profile didn’t stop me from seeing
the color leave his skin. My stomach dropped, and a sickness washed over me.
The air around him had become so thick that I was certain Drew and Caroline
noticed his abrupt change in demeanor.
He only had that reaction when the
Marconi were brought up.
“What else did he say?”
It’d been an innocent run-in, or so I
thought. “Congratulations. That’s it.”
He turned back to me, his lips
twitching into a forced smile, but his eyes couldn’t hide the combination of
anger and dread.
“So, did you hear about Blackwell?”
Caroline asked. “Seems he’s all the scandal with that intern Tara.”
I turned to look at her, mouthing a
“thank you” as Drew jumped in, steering the conversation away and saving our
peaceful lunch as much as possible.
~ Review ~
This is the 3rd and final installment of the
Breach Series and I was sad to say goodbye to Nathan and Lila. I had Reciprocity sitting on my kindle for a
few days before I actually read it only because I didn’t want the story to end.
This series was an amazing journey of
overcoming your past, your fears and finally being able to embrace the good and
live life.
Nathan and Lila’s story was so tumultuous with varying
degrees of desperation, pain and love and I enjoyed every single minute of
it. Nathan captivated me with his dirty
mouth and his demanding passion for Delilah in Breach but their realization that
they were it for one another in Infraction had me waiting to see how it would
all end for them in Reciprocity.
Reciprocity was my favorite book in the series. I was able to immerse myself in the moments
of light-heartedness, the depths of the adoration between Nathan and Lila, the
freedom that they finally allowed themselves to enjoy when they made the
decision to stop letting the past rule their future.
The story also wrapped up some loose ends in the series. We watch and learn the fate of Adam, the
sadistic step-brother, who attacked Lila.
We watch Lila find her voice and
let the Boob Patrol know that she’s not going to take their crap anymore and
demand respect for her relationship with Nathan.
Throughout the series there was the Marconi. With their presence forever hanging over
Nathan and Lila causing additional stress and fear. Having lost one love to their hands Nathan
was determined to protect Lila from their wrath even if it meant giving up his
own life.
Gah….I am not sure how much more I can say without giving
away the story. As a huge fan of K.I
Lynn’s work, I am looking forward to what she has coming next for us. If you haven’t met Nathan and Lila you should
go 1~click Breach and get to know them.
Please take note that this series contains bad language, rough sex and
violence, and may not be enjoyable to all readers.
