If You Loved Me Brianna Remus Publication date: April 26th 2024 Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance
My parents would lose their minds if they found out their precious daughter lost her virginity to the town’s notorious bad boy and ex-convict.
Ranger Adams might have been a dangerous pariah after he was released from prison, but he was the only man I wanted. And after I convinced him to take me on a date, I got exactly what my body…and heart desired.
I spent my entire life trying to get away from my parents’ overbearing grasp. They’ve tried to control every part of my life, even down to the man I was supposed to marry. That was the price of being born into one of the South’s richest families.
The second I had a chance to get away, I did. Ten years of pissing them off and making my dreams come true was worth the sacrifice. No fun. No relationships. And no sex.
My life had been all work until Ranger came back into town. Everyone whispered about what he’d done to land in prison. But I didn’t care.
He was rough around the edges, wild, and free.
And I wanted every bit of what he was willing to give me.
“Ranger,” she breathed, my name was a prayer on her lips.
I let her wrist go and reached down to pick her up. My heartbeat pounded in my ears as she kissed me, opening up fully and dipping her tongue into my mouth. She was so warm and sweet. Her little moans vibrated against my tongue making me want her mouth on another part of me.
I settled us on the couch and watched as she leaned back, threading her fingers through my hair. “I love that you have long hair.”
“Oh yeah?” I asked before bringing my thumb to her lower lip wondering what it might feel like to run the head of my cock over it.
Her tongue darted out between her lips and she took my thumb in her mouth, her cheeks hollowed as she sucked. “Mmhmm,” she mused. “It’ll make it easier to keep your head in place when it’s between my legs.”
My cock jolted. I yanked my thumb from her mouth and snagged her bottom lip between my teeth, suckling it with my tongue and lips before letting it go with a pop. When I smacked her ass, she ground her hips into me, another moan slipping out of her mouth. “You won’t have to keep me anywhere, babe. I’ll gladly feast on your sweetness for the rest of my fucking life.”
Her lids fluttered, eyes dazed with lust. “But what if I want to be the one to taste you?”
Fuck. Me.
Grabbing the back of her neck, I brought her closer so I could whisper in her ear, “You wanna taste me?”
Tendrils of her hair tickled my cheek as she nodded.
“Then let me give my girl what she wants.” I lifted her off me and stood before her. The fear I’d seen in her eyes before was gone. Erased with the heady need we felt for one another and I was thankful for it. This I could do. Watching her eyes trace my body as I unbuckled my belt and undid my jeans. Seeing her in pain had been too much for me to bear. My chest had felt like it was caving in.
But this. Just the two of us together. This I could do all fucking night. Hell. All day and night.
Her breathing quickened as her eyes darted to where my fingers slid under the edge of my boxers. “You’re sure?” I asked.
Those molten eyes looked back up at me. “Yes, I’m sure.”
With her permission, I hooked my thumbs into the band of my boxers and pulled them down. My cock was heavy, pulsing upward as she took me in.
She swallowed. “I’ve never done this before, Ranger.” Those beautiful eyes I loved so much were wary like I might flee from her admission. What she didn’t know was that I didn’t give a shit about her being experienced. I only wanted her.
“We’ll take it slow. Whatever you don’t want to do, just tell me, okay?”
She nodded again as I grabbed her hand and sat back down on the couch.
“Kneel,” I commanded and I watched as she lowered herself to her knees.
“Good girl.” Seeing her kneel between my legs nearly had me seeing stars from how much my dick throbbed. Dark eyelashes fanned over her cheekbones when she looked down at my length.
Author Bio:
Brianna Remus is a Florida-based author who lives with her husband, three pups, and terrorizing cat. She started her writing journey in 2016 to ward off the woes of graduate school. The light-hearted hobby quickly turned into a passion filled dream that consistently distracts her from the real world.
When Brianna isn't working as a psychology resident or writing books, you can find her getting lost in the worlds created by others (through writing and movies), spending a day at the ocean, or taking a walk in the forest. She loves to spend her days outdoors surrounded by the beauties of nature.
A true Tolkien nerd, she also spends a lot of her time immersed in Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, as well as praying that Amazon doesn't completely fuck up the new LOTR series.
Two widows. One wedding dress. And a promise of forever in the next installment of the Wilder Brothers.
Moments for You, an all-new second chance, small town romance from New York Times bestselling author Carrie Ann Ryan is now available!
My rating: 5 out of 5 starsBlurb:
A wedding dress is meant to be worn only once.
When a stranger finds herself in need of a miracle at the last minute, I do the unthinkable: I offer mine to her.
The same one I wore down the aisle for my late husband.
Now I’m invited to the wedding and finding myself wondering why I shut myself away from the world for so long.
I’m only meant to be at the Wilder Retreat for a single day except I go home with not only a job offer, but the promise of something more.
Ridge Wilder is hiding secrets of his own. And the undeniable chemistry between us burns before we even contemplate taking that first step.
Only I’ve already had my happy ever after. I never planned on finding another.
And Ridge is even far more broken than I am—with a past that might come back to haunt us both.
My review:
Amazing! Another Wilder sensational story!
…every moment was precious.
Every moment meant something…You had to hold on to those moments. Hold on to those pieces. And then someday you could puzzle them
together to figure out who you were and what you craved.
Moments for You is the seventh book in The Wilder Brothers
series. It’s the first of the cousin’s
books and starts two years after the Wilder cousins moved to San Antonio and
joined forces with their cousins who owned the Wilder Resort. It’s not necessary to read the series in
order but I think it helps to understand the dynamics of the Wilder
family. Besides, the books are so good
that once you read one, you will want to read them all! This is Ridge Wilder and Aurora Lee’s book,
and it was a heartbreaking second-chance romance.
Ridge Wilder was running from his past and needed a place to
start over without all the reminders of what he had lost when his pregnant
fiancé died. After the storm that hit
and destroyed the resort during the Wilder family reunion, he and his three
brothers decided to move to San Antonio and help their cousins rebuild.
Five years prior, Aurora Lee lost her husband, William, in a
car accident. Her grief weighed heavily
upon her, and she knew William would have wanted her to continue with her
life. On the anniversary of their
accident, she came across a post of a bride-to-be whose family heirloom wedding
dress got stolen. She felt like helping
the bride was the thing to do. The dress
had given her so many wonderful memories and she hoped it would be the same for
another couple.
“You’re going to move in with me and you’re never going to
leave. You’re going to be stitched to my
side until the end of days.”
This was such a heartbreaking second-chance romance. Aurora was such an amazing woman and had such
a big heart. She had struggled after
losing her husband so seeing her slowly build her life back was amazing. Ridge silently grieving the loss of his child
and fiancé. Neither thought they would
find love again, so I loved watching their relationship grow. This was a beautiful second-chance romance of
two widows brought together by a wedding dress and I absolutely loved it.
I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving a review. All
thoughts and opinions are my own.
Moments for You is now available on ALL retailers in eBook, Paperback, Special Edition paperback, and audio with Teddy Hamilton and Samantha Brentmoor. It's also on Kobo Plus and Libraries for those who love subscriptions! https://geni.us/MomentsYouChoice

Something caught my attention out of the corner of my eye, and I turned to see the man I met the day before, Ridge. He was on the security team, and a Wilder if I remembered correctly. And the way he had stared at me made my stomach clench.
Not in a scary way, or perhaps that was a lie. Because something scared me.
I hadn’t felt that rush in so long that I had forgotten what it was.
Because that man, even with his harsh angles and growls, was beautiful. Those piercing eyes, that strong jaw. And those muscles? I hadn’t thought of muscles like that in a very long time.
I was a single woman after all, which was a very weird thing to think. There was nothing holding me back. Except perhaps today of all days wasn’t the time to think of it.
But when would the time be right?
He met my gaze and nodded but didn’t smile. He just turned and went back to whatever his job was for the day, leaving me feeling slightly bereft.
What was wrong with me?
Music began to play, and I sat back in the bench as the ceremony began.
A little girl with a beautiful lacy pink dress skipped down the aisle, making everyone laugh as she tossed petals into the air and twirled like she was a ballerina. Then she set the basket down and proceeded to do somersaults to the end.
A smile broke on my face, pushing through any nerves, and I laughed along with the others, shaking my head as the harried mother came back to pick up her daughter, as well as the basket.
The little girl waved at everyone over her mom’s shoulder, and I waved back, feeling lighter than I had in years.
The little boy was next with his ring pillow and was very serious. Left together. Right together. Left together. Right together.
I hadn’t even realized he was saying that aloud until people were laughing again, and I knew this wedding was going to be full of laughter.
The bridesmaids followed, meeting up with their escorts at the end as they helped them onto the stage. When the groom’s eyes widened and a single tear fell down his cheek, I turned with the others, my breath catching.
There was Augusta, her eyes bright and wide and a smile so radiant on her face that she looked as if she were a goddess, coming to grace us with her presence and gift us with joy and love and happiness.
And her dress.
It was hers now. It wasn’t mine. I still felt a kick in the gut that reminded me of the promise I had made to William. A promise we had kept but fate had broken. I would love William until my dying days, but as my dress became hers and she walked down the aisle, I knew that this was me saying goodbye to what was and what could have been.
It was time to make new promises, it was time to breathe again.
I let my tears freely fall as I watched a woman who, just days ago, had been consumed by panic and loss, marry the man of her dreams in a dress that reflected promises and memories.
And as they said their I do’s, I wiped tears from my face and looked to the left again and met Ridge’s gaze. He studied my face as everyone cheered and clapped. I nodded back, telling him that I was okay.
Because okay can mean a lot of things.
Today wasn’t about me or my memories. Today was about the future.
And it was time to make that happen.
