EXCERPT
2- Lexi,
I woke up this morning with you in my arms and thought to myself, ‘I want to do this for the rest of my life.’ You in my arms is perfection. It’s cosmic. It’s simply the way we are supposed to be.
I couldn’t wake you. You were sleeping so soundly.
I know that you and I are moving fast. It’s exhilarating. When I’m with you Lex, it’s like we were never apart.
A lot has happened between then and now, but the now is what I want us to concentrate on. Now it’s you and me. You are what’s important. We are the only thing that matters to me anymore.
What happened in the past is irrelevant. I want you. I want you always.
You are what I see when I look into the future. Five years from now, ten years from now, hell fifty years from now, you are there.
As a teenager and young man, I loved you. You were my everything. But I didn’t really understand what that meant. Now, as a man, I love you even more.
You are the reason I smile, Lex. You are the first thing I want to see when I wake up and the last thing I want to see before falling asleep. I want to see you smile every day and I want to know that I’m the reason you’re smiling.
These next few weeks are going to be hard for me. I’ve gotten so used to you, to sleeping with you, to talking with you, to kissing you, to just being with you, that it’s kind of hard for me to imagine me functioning without you.
Know that I may not be next to you, but that you are with me. Always. In my head and in my heart. You’re a part of me again. The most important part of me. Lex, you own me. You own my heart.
I’ve left you the keys to my house and my car. I want you to use them and I want you to give serious consideration to moving in with me when I get back.
We’re adults. I know what I want, and what I want is you. It’s always been you.
I see no need to beat around the bush.
I want you. In my life, in my arms, in my bed. Every night.
Think about it…
You own my heart. You own everything I am.
I love you Lex.
Jude

REVIEW
Anyone need another sexy rockstar??
Jude is yummy, and as so eloquently put by Lexi's best friend, he is "Jude Fucking Delecroix, the rockstar! Jude thought he was over the girl that got away, but little did he know returning home and seeing her would prove he hadn't moved on as he thought. Now he wants her back!
Lexi has been covering from a broken heart ever since she and Jude broke up. She thought she was over him until he walked into her coffee shop. Even when she told him she hated him, she really still loved him. Now she is ready to be civil, but she didn't more she was going to get so much more than friendship.
Can they really have a chance at a second romance, or should they have left their past as just that, their past?
Alluring Turmoil is another awesome rockstar romance. It is written from both Lexi and Jude's point of views. The couple has undeniable chemistry and it makes this book that much better. I love the way Skye wrote Alluring Turmoil. It is written so you really don't feel like you missed a thing between these characters. Even the flashbacks have perfect timing. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone!
