Lark Williams leads a fast-paced life, always on the edge of danger. Running from his past and fighting to keep his present life a secret, he keeps his heart out of reach from love. The walls he built around himself come crumbling down when he meets Azurdee Emerson.

Azurdee lives a peaceful life in the small town of Wimberley, Texas. Her tame world quickly becomes heated as she begins to fall in love with Lark. He’s everything she has vowed to stay away from—dark and mysterious, and not to mention, sexy as hell and full of secrets.

Just as Lark and Azurdee give in to their feelings of love, Lark’s present life threatens the safety of the one person he would sacrifice his own happiness for. When Lark finds history repeating itself, he makes a decision that will forever change both of their lives, leaving one heartbroken and lost and the other fighting to survive.

     

Stacia Says…

After reading all of Kelly Elliott’s books, I figured this series would follow the same format of young love with a sexy cowboy. While I did get my sexy semi-cowboy in Lark Williams, I also got so much more. Unconditional Love was unexpected, super sexy, laugh-out-loud funny in parts, and also gave us a small glimpse into the lives of the whole gang from the Wanted series. I can easily say that Unconditional Love is my FAVORITE Kelly Elliott book thus far!

Well renowned playboy Lark Williams wants nothing to do with love or relationships. He guards his heart very closely and doesn’t let too many people close to him. Azurdee Emerson is pretty innocent and pure—but all that changes the minute she lays her eyes on sexy, bad boy Lark. Of course their love story wouldn’t be epic, if they didn’t have to fight for their love. As soon as things seem to be going smoothly, danger threatens to take it all away.

“Azurdee, you’re everything I’ve ever wanted, and everything I’ve ever feared.”

I was pretty much in love with Lark from the first chapter. He appears to be this strong, sexy man, but in reality his heart was broken by his college girlfriend and he is afraid to put himself out there again. But HOT DAMN, when he finally gives in to his feelings for Azurdee he was beyond swoon-worthy. The things he said and did to her were so sexy; plus every time he called her “mi amor” my heart melted.

“You’ve got my heart, mi armor. I’ll want you and love you forever.”

Kelly Elliott really stepped outside of her normal writing format and brought us a completely new, fresh, sexy, and exciting story. I can’t wait to read the next book in the Journey of Love series.

Excerpt

I stood in the cold shower cursing Lark. I leaned my head back and let the cool water run through my long hair. It wasn’t too terribly hot out, but hot enough to make it miserable with my long hair. I reached for the soap and began quickly cleaning myself off. I hadn’t had any intentions of finishing off what Lark started, but the moment I heard the bathroom door open and close quietly I knew I had to do it. I pushed my hand down between my legs and began touching myself.

“Ohh…yes…oh God…” I panted as I began moving my hand faster. I was waiting for him to tell me to push my fingers inside myself and I could almost feel the orgasm building.

I heard something drop and opened the door to find Joyce standing there shielding her eyes.

“Oh my God!” I screamed out.

“Oh goodness…Azurdee, I’m in here!” Joyce cried out.

“I know! I’m oh my God-ing that you’re in here…while I’m in the shower.”

I quickly grabbed a towel. “Joyce! Why are you in here?” I asked as I turned off the water.

“Well, Michael asked me to bring you this lotion. He said you wouldwant it after your shower.”

I instantly felt the anger building up in my chest. That bastard!

“I’m going to kill him,” I whispered.

Joyce asked, “Are you covered? Can I look at you now?”

“Yes,” I said as I shook my head and said, “I’m covered.”

Joyce turned and gave me a weak smile. “Now I know it’s none of my business, but maybe you should talk to Michael, honey. I’m sure he can…well, he can…well, I don’t know if you’re having sex or not, but I’m going to go with yes, and if he isn’t performing to his…”

Dear God no. This is not happening. This. Is. Not. Happening.

“Joyce! Please. This is just weird. It’s all just very weird for you to be saying what you’re saying.”

She nodded her head and said, “Well I think so, too. I would think if you were happy in the sex department you wouldn’t need to masturbate.”

She tilted her head and looked up like she was thinking. “I should have Peter have a talk with Michael.”

“No!” I yelled out. “Joyce, I’m very satisfied. Beyond satisfied. Lark is a very good…well…he…umm…”

I closed my eyes and wished like hell I could go back in time about ten minutes ago.

“Can we just stop this conversation, and may I please have some privacy to get dressed?”

Joyce nodded her head and said, “Of course. Well um…dinner will be ready in about forty-five minutes, so…ah…”

She looked me up and down and her cheeks blushed. “I’ll just send Michael on up to um…well…help, I guess.”

My mouth dropped open and I stumbled back against the wall.

I slowly slid down to the floor after she shut the bathroom door and looked up. “I’ll do anything. Anything if you just give me back the last fifteen minutes or so. I swear…God. Anything.”

When the door opened and Lark walked in he was laughing his ass off. I shook my head and said, “No sex for you for the rest of this trip. None.”
