The Literary Forest: Evie's Knight Book Excerpt

Hey everybody!

As you know I really love the book Evie's Knight and the author Kimberly Krey kindly allowed me to post an excerpt from my favorite scene in the book to share with you guys so you could get hooked too. So without further ado, here is an excerpt from Evie's Knight.

“I like the lips,” he said softly, seductively, his gaze fixed on her timid smile.

She was surprised by the sudden twist in the mood. The warmth of his hand around her waist, her back pinned against the cool wall. The ever-present chemistry surging between them.

“Thanks. It’s a lip stain. It lasts all day and it doesn’t smudge,” she said, mimicking the commercial.

“That’s good.” He leaned in closer and breathed her in. “It smells good, too. Is that mint?”

“Yeah. It’s mint and vanilla actually. ChapStick.” She gulped again.

“Nice.” His warm breath flittered across her cheek.

The beat of her heart came thicker, heavier, as the fever built in her chest. She worried that, at any moment, Calvin would step away, end his flirtatious teasing, and lead her back to the Jeep.

Unwilling to let the moment slip, Evie forced herself to speak. “I could share.”

“Oh yeah?”

She nodded slowly in reply. “But, I don’t have it with me,” she lied, the heat of the moment fueling her desire. “We’d have to get creative, find a way to get it from my lips to yours.” She licked her lips, leaving them parted.

Calvin’s eyes were intense. As he leaned in, she watched his mouth, beautifully perfect and full. She let her eyes shut as he closed the gap between them. Gently, he pressed his lips to hers–soft, smooth, and warm. The sensation had her weak, melting. She breathed him in, completely alive and in the moment. The simple kiss was entirely right.

He pulled back and met her gaze. 

Evie’s breaths came rapid. “Did it work?” 

Calvin rubbed his lips together before pulling one side into a

crooked grin. “Not yet.”

I hope you all enjoyed this little slice of cuteness :) If you want more read the book, you won't regret it.

Evie’s Knight

Paperback, 391 pages

Published September 11th 2012 by Kimberly Krey

Premise:

When Evie falls in love with Calvin Knight, their young, virtuous romance

conjures a truly wicked spell.

Evie always thought her eighteenth year would be magical, but so far it's not

what she hoped for. Her best friend has gone wild, her love life is void, and

she misses her mom more than ever. But life for Evie is about to change. Calvin

Knight, the object of her fascination, is about to fall madly in love with her.

Just one problem: Their love conjures a murderous woman from beyond the grave who

wants Evie dead. The same demon who has haunted the Knight men for over four

generations. Soon Calvin is forced to make a choice: Set Evie free and hope to

evade the wrath of The Raven- haired Ghost, or use his newly gifted strengths

to fight against her. If he chooses to fight and wins, Calvin will free the

Knight men of this demonic witch. If he loses, Evie will become her next

victim.

Romance That’s Clean Without Losing the Steam!

I’m

a reader of good, clean romance, a lover of family time and Diet Coke, and the

ultimate hater of laundry.

I’m

not patient enough to enjoy a yoga class, or tall enough to be great at

basketball, but I do love to run – anywhere but on a treadmill. I love the

sound of a rainstorm when I have no place to go, the feel of Soft Lips chap

Stick on my lips, and the first peek of blue water as we round the mountains

toward our favorite getaway in Bear Lake.
