You know the
universe is trying to tell you something when you get struck by lightning, but
only after getting hit on by the elderly, almost getting run over by a semi,
and running into the one who got away.
Why do they say it like that anyway?
Like I accidentally lost her when she was the one that got in the car with my
best friend and left me.
The day after I proposed.
We were eighteen.
I wanted forever.
She didn't.
It's been ten years.
I tried to move on, tried to get married, had that same wedding crashed by my
now best friend who says the only way for me to stop pissing off the universe,
is to gain closure with the one woman I can't forget.
So I do it.
I embark on a journey down memory lane that not only lands me in prison but on
the receiving end of a fist fight in front of the entire town, this naturally
happens after drunken pool sex, climbing the same girl's window, and getting
threatened at gunpoint by her father.
To say the universe is trying to tell me something anything, is a giant
understatement.
I just hope I survive the message.
And then, I hope I survive her—again.

Excerpt
Full breasts spilled over into a small black bikini that
left nothing to the imagination, it barely covered nipple for that matter, and
the bottoms? Well she had to keep adjusting them lets just say high school
bathing suits ten years later look small.

In the best way possible.
Head held high she walked right by me to Max, grabbed a
shot, took it, then sucked the lime he held out in front of her.

I growled.
Max winked at me. “Something wrong, man?”
I reached for the non existent gun at my side, which just
made him grin harder as he kept handing out alcohol to parents of
toddlers.

Because thats the type of party it was.
Almost everyone started talking about their kids,
retirement, stock portfolios, vacation time, and babies.

It was almost too depressing for words.
I had all those things but what I’d always wanted. A family.
Babies.

Maddy.
She shared a sideway’s glance with me.
I reached for her, but she pulled away and ran full speed
towards the pool and did a giant canon ball.

People cheered.
While I watched as wet cold water ran down her curvy body,
my gaze was so tranfixed on her erect nipples I’m surprised nobody pulled me
aside about my current situation of arousal.

Cold water. Fast.
I chased after her, jumped in.
And felt the warm buzz of alcohol fill my veins just as I
popped up and saw Max follow, balls first, in my face.

I ducked just in time so I didn’t get a fist full of
balls.

The guy only laughed once we both popped up.
I swam towards Maddy, and tugged her against me. “Stop
running.”

“I’m not.” Her breath came out raspy. “I’m just…reliving old
times, isn’t that what you wanted? So we could have closure?”
times, isn’t that what you wanted? So we could have closure?”
Why did it feel like she was turning the tables on me.
“Yeah,” I said slowly, “But—“
Her kiss was swift.
Hard.
Fast, and oh so very punishing as I gaped into her mouth and
pinned her against he side of the pool.

Music filled the air out of nowhere from somewhere outside,
it pounded into my ears the way I wanted to pound into her.

I grinned against her mouth as she wrapped her legs around
my waist.

And then Reid cast a shadow over us and started pouring
vodka over our heads.

Maddy tilted her head back and opened her mouth while I
leaned in and licked it off her chin.

“Guys!” Someone yelled. “Keep it down, someones going to
call the cops!”

“Cops?” Max laughed loudly. “I am the law, bitches!” The
music blared. “Plus, we already got our cop here.” He pointed while I took
another shot.

Yeah the cops were coming alright.
Our Review:
“Laugh out loud good, 5 stars”
RVD’s Consequences books have always been my favorite of mine when it comes to her. There is something about the extreme ridiculousness that takes place in these stories that you can’t help but laugh at. They are almost to the point of making you think one person cannot have such bad luck and yet they do! In The Consequence of Rejection you have all the players you’ve fallen for in the last three books plus now Jason’s forever girl and it’s a blast. If you need a laugh scroll up and one click now.
Jason thought he had forever when he was younger only to see her taillights as she left town. Ever since life has basically been down hill for him and his string of bad luck. Now the girl he loved is a woman and she’s back. With a little help from Max and the gang and one meddling old lady he may get the her back. Or he could end up dead, you never know with his luck.
Maddy ran because she was scared. She was scared of feeling her big feelings for Jason and scared of becoming someone she didn’t want to become. Now she’s home and she’s faced with the reality that she never got over Jason. Will she try her hardest to dodge the guy next door or will she try her hardest to get him back? You won’t know until you dive in.
