Synopsis

I am a son.
I am a brother.
I am an artist.
I am a student.
I am her student.

She was my first.
First infatuation, first ‘real’ kiss, first love, first…..
heartbreak.

I gave her everything, including my body and would have given her more.
I gave her ‘I love you’ ….she told me her heart was filled by another, there was no room left for me.

We could never be.
What we did was wrong.
It didn’t feel wrong to me.

The deepest hurt is a love that you cannot have. It will last the longest, cut the deepest and feel the strongest.
It is an imperfect love; a disfigured circle that never ends.
You cannot control it; it’s as simple as blinking and just like blinking the more you try to stop it, the more the pain consumes you.

This is book 3 in the ‘Love by Numbers’ series.
Although it contains characters from the previous books, it can be read as a standalone.

daniell review 5 star a

This is the 3rd book in the Love by Numbers series but can be read as a standalone.

WOW! What a story! I thought nothing could top Jake and Emma’s story but this story is absolutely beautiful!

Liam is heartbroken. Although he was only 18 at the time, he fell deeply in love with Cari, his art teacher, giving and was devastated when she broke things off saying she loved another. Even though 4 years have passed, Liam’s heart still belongs to Cari and he has never moved on to another woman. He has spent those years traveling the world, unable to be in the same town as her but now he must return home for his brother’s wedding.

Cari has just been surviving since she broke things off with Liam. She knows they shared a true love but her orphaned little sister, Seren, needed her more and she couldn’t burden someone so young with a child with Severe Autism. The past few years of being a single parent to Seren have weighed heavily on Cari and when she sees Liam in town again, she can’t help but remember how much light and love he brought to her world.

When Liam runs into Cari on the street, Liam decides he must have the answers he was never given and try to figure out if he can finally move on.

“Some people come into our lives and stay for a lifetime, others might only share a small chapters; only you know when it’s time to forgive them and keep them in the past or allow them into your future.”

When Liam gets the answers he has been seeking, he discovers a love even more powerful than he knew before. “Love; just a four letter word that is easy to spell yet impossible to define.”

Will Liam and Cari take hold of their second chance with both hands and embrace a future together? Read this heartwarming story to find out.

As soon as I started this book, I was immediately drawn into Liam and Cari’s world and when I finished, I was teary-eyed to say goodbye. This story is told from both Liam and Cari’s POV which makes it all the more special to see the mutual love and heartbreak they both have endured. Sweet Seren makes this book all the more extraordinary of love stories. I thoroughly enjoyed the roller coaster of emotions I experienced while reading this book. This whole series has wonderful secondary characters and I especially fell in love with Isaac, one of Liam’s older brothers, and hope to read his story in the future. E.S. Carter is such a talented author and is definitely an author to one-click without hesitation!

Excerpt
“Yeah, okay,” she says sarcastically and even though I’m not looking at her, I know she’s rolled her eyes at me. 
 
“That’s it, damn it.” I pull into a side road, and drive down until we’re quite a distance from the main highway. “Get out,” I say to her. Ella looks around and then looks to me. 
 
“Have you lost your mind, Matt? We’re in the middle of nowhere. I’m not walking to the wedding from here.” 
 
She’s half-smiling, and I know she knows I’d never make her walk. “That smart mouth of yours has just earned you a spanking. Now get out.” I get out of the car and walk around to her side. 
 
“Oh,” she says when she gets out. 
 
“Oh what?” 
 
Her shoulders shudder and she smiles at me. “Oh, Sir.” 
 
“Good. Turn around, look at the car.” 
 
“Yes, Sir.” She turns away from me. 
 
“Take your underwear off.” She shimmies her panties down her legs and starts to bend to pick them up. “Leave them around your ankles. I want you to see what a greedy girl you are. While I’m fucking you, you’ll look down and know this pussy,” I quickly lift her dress and insert a finger into her cunt, “this pussy is always ready for me to fuck, because you’re greedy and insatiable.”

Excerpt

 OH! I remembered then. I was on my way to my room. In my inebriated state, I’d mixed up the numbers. I had ended up at his door trying desperately to get my key to work. I recalled hearing some kind of grumbling from the other side of the door, but hadn’t really been coherent enough to put two and two together.

I’d fallen through the door when he snatched it open. I was on the floor for a few moments giggling and I heard him curse. It had sounded like he’d said something about eager fans or desperate women. Either way, I’d laughed and told him that he was an asshole for jumping to conclusions because I wasn’t what he thought I was. I was just too drunk to realize that I was trying to get into the wrong room.

I’d tried to lift myself up and almost fell. I’d tugged on something, but didn’t know what. I didn’t know until I was on my knees in the next moment facing his slightly erect rod, which was beautiful and staring me in my face. The one-eyed monster had my full attention.

“Okay, beautiful, you got to see it. Now let go of my pants,” I’d heard him say.

My eyes never budged. I was fixated. Before I realized it, I had the head of him in between my lips. Once I had it, I wasn’t letting go. I didn’t until he’d grabbed my bun and tugged. He lifted all of my size- fourteen, five-foot-four, one-hundred-seventy-plus ass up off the floor and hand me spread eagle in the air perched just above his completely erect pelvis a moment later.

“You want this?” was his question.

I was so flabbergasted and turned on by how easily he lifted me that my response was automatic, “Yes. God, yes!”

He quickly slid the only thing hindering his entry to the side and tested my willingness with his fingers. His probing had my head falling back. My panties had to have been soaked through because I had been more than ready. He was deep within me after just a few slight strokes. I lost count over the course of the night just how many times I fell into the lap of ecstasy. I just recalled being in a constant state of bliss. I remembered feeling exhausted and drifting off to sleep with the cheesiest grin. His hand in my dampened honey blonde tresses helped lull me to sleep.

I know I woke up in the middle of the night and felt really hot. I’d rocked back and felt him behind me. I was in that in-between state where you can’t tell dream from reality. So, I just went with it. I woke him enough to have my wicked way with him.

“Oh my … I can’t believe I did this,” I groaned into the pillow.

“Yeah, you did and quite well I might add. I’ll admit that I’ve never been with a … a, um, African American girl and definitely not a plus size one but damn … ” he said as he moved around behind me.

I inwardly groaned again then was pissed and irritated with myself. I was most definitely the dumbest woman to walk the face of the earth. Ever so slowly, I sat up and began to stand my naked body on my shaky legs.

“Whoa there, ba … ,” he began, but I cut him off.

“Do not finish that statement. I’m not your baby. As a matter of fact, if I remember correctly, when I fell into your room last night or this morning, whenever, you thought I was some ‘desperate fan’. I wasn’t then and I’m not now. I’m going to get my bearings and my damn clothes so I can leave. I need to get ready for the event today. Ugh, my head … and my stomach. I’m going to use your bathroom first,” I informed him as I moved very slowly toward my gown, which was in the direct path of the bathroom. Didn’t I have on pants before? Oh yeah, I had them on under the gown.

“Wait. Did I say something wrong?”

I just ignored him and concentrated on getting to my garment then to the bathroom. I’d just made it to the gown when I heard the bed move.
