March Madness, Dalia Florea...

It's a Magnificent Monday and another March Madness giveaway! Author Dalia Florea is here to celebrate the month of March with us and she has a great excerpt in store. Oftentimes, we struggle to find love after experiencing a heartbreak. We cannot open our heart up to suffering once more. What happens when love is staring you right in the face and won't give up on you?

When there's a question about rebound, will she or won't she? I loved this book...it's one of my favorites. For your chance to add it to your collection, don't forget to leave a comment to be entered into the giveaway. Read on...
She regarded him silently for a moment, gazing into his dark brown eyes and watching a smile curve his lips. “I think that it would be. You don’t know me very well. I’ve had too many heartbreaks, and I’m in a vulnerable state right now where I may be incapable of making good choices. I don’t ever want to end up where I am right now—in this same place—again. For God’s sake, my last boyfriend was married, and I had absolutely no idea. How could I not have known? Other people were able to see the red flags, but I didn’t see a thing.”

“I hear what you’re saying, and I understand, but you can’t live the rest of your life that way. You can’t shield yourself from getting to know someone and never open yourself up to love again because of your past relationships.” He sipped water from the glass in front of him. His eyes were fixed on hers.

He stood and came around to her side of the booth, sat next to her, and reached for her hand, taking it into his and intertwining their fingers. He slowly lifted her hand to his mouth and gently pressed his lips to the back of it. Feeling his warm breath against the skin of her hand made her tremble. “I promise you that if you give me a chance, you won’t need to worry about anything. You will see no red flags when it comes to me. I have no secrets and no hidden agenda,” he said softly, lips brushing against her hand again. He lifted his eyes, looking her straight in the face.

Damn. He’s making this difficult. She couldn’t think clearly. Her senses had been heightened by his sensual touch, his silky smooth dark skin, and his masculine musk mixed with the spicy cologne he wore. She had to stop herself from being drawn in by this magnetic force that threatened to take her over mentally and physically.

He tipped her head up with his finger and lowered his mouth onto hers, brushing his lips against hers, teasing her, barely touching them at first. Then he whispered against her lips, “Please give me”— soft kiss—“a chance.”

Linda had to admit that she wanted Sean. There was something about him that stirred her soul. But was she willing to throw caution to the wind as she had done in the past? When she thought about it, she had always jumped from one relationship to another without giving herself a break in between. Maybe that was the problem. Was she codependent? Did she need to be in a relationship in order to feel whole? She needed some distance from Sean to find out more about who she was and what she wanted for herself in life.

It took every bit of her self-control and willpower to pull away from his kiss. She breathed in deeply. She knew she needed to say what she didn’t want to say. She mentally prepared herself to resist what she knew would be another attempt from him to pursue the idea of them being in a relationship. She slid a few inches away from him in an effort to prevent any further temptation, and she watched his shoulders droop.

I think she should take time for herself. If it's meant to be it will be.

AWESOME...I absolutely love it and want to read more!
She should GO FOR IT and not allow the devil to keep her tramped by her past failed relationships. Deception is a terrible thing...but relinquishing control, could mean FREEDOM! Take a chance, one more time~

I'm EXCITED with you and for you, Dalia! Yes, sometimes you just have to open your hands and receive it. Tight fists can't receive anything~

While I do think it's important to heal after a broken heart, I definitely agree Cynthia that she shouldn't be bound by her past. I love your comment. :)
