Not wanting anyone to know about his slight obsession with her, their potential relationship must be kept a secret. Will Becca put up with Tyler’s untold story for long? Will she tolerate being his secret?

✦ Review ✦ Crossing the Line by Samantha Long


Title: Crossing the Line
Author: Samantha Long



Victoria doesn't have time for love after a bitter divorce. She's too busy. Her twin daughters are approaching puberty and her interior design business is expanding. So when Nick enters her life, she has to remember why she's too busy for a little lust. Which is difficult considering he's the contractor hired to redo her office. Besides, his tattoos and MMA past make him a poor candidate for a woman who's trying to level out her life.

Nick thinks Victoria's hot but doesn't want to get involved with a woman who has kids, much less one that's been hurt by a man. Too much baggage. He's sworn off relationships, tending to stick with one-night stands. Victoria is a client, one he doesn't want to cross the line with, but the more he's near her, the quicker his resolve weakens.


It's so nice to read a book that you can actually relate to, that you feel could easily be anyone's life. It started out slow for me BUT that was what made it more real. In the end I appreciated that it took Victoria so long to get with Nick. It was a great change of pace in this genre. I can completely relate to Nick and understand his apprehension and I know Roger in the form of my husbands baby momma and they are identical. I loved it and couldn't put it down!! Absolute great read!!!


I'm a multitasking mom of four. When not writing/doing laundry/changing diapers, I like to catch up on episodes of Supernatural and Castle. If you can't find me in front of the computer, I'm most likely watching my DVR.​

​I've been writing since the first grade, where I wrote a one page story titled "If I was an Indian". My warrior husband was going to be the best hunter, I was going to live in the best teepee and apparently, I was having an affair with the Chief. Racy, I know.

​Of the things I'm addicted to sweet tea, movies, and books top the list. My favorite authors include Nora Roberts, Lauren Kate, Kresley Cole, and Gena Showalter. Few of many I love.

Understanding and something more turned his expression warm and soft. “It’s new to me too,” he admitted. “You’re my kitten,” he said, his voice gruff. Unsure of how to interpret that, I tilted my head, looking up at him. A knowing smile lifted his mouth into a disarming, sexy grin. "You're brave one minute, skittish the next. You need to be gentled, to learn that the hand that's stroking you can be trusted." As he spoke, his thumb glided over my neck, pausing at my rapidly beating pulse. "I can't change what or who came before you, but I can tell you that you're different. For me, to me. I don't understand why, I just know. And if you give me the chance, I'll prove it." He continued to glide his thumb back and forth against my skin, gentling me, as he'd said. My eyes fluttered closed. "I've never had anyone in my life I could truly trust." The people I was supposed to trust betrayed me, and the one I’d chosen had done the same. "Well, now you do.” His hand traveled upward, until he brushed my jaw, then my lips, with his thumb. Darned if I didn't fall right back into that soft, easy spot he'd taken me to before. Feeling brave, I licked, then nipped at his finger.</ span> He groaned and smoothed my own moisture over my lips. "Give me a chance," he said in a gruff voice that made me tingle.
