lover and best friend is tragically killed in an accident
leaving Emma lost and alone. After almost 2 years of barely
living life Emma decides to go to the only man she can trust to
help her get out of the darkness she has been buried in.
Emma is not sure she is ready but she is desperate to once
again be part of the living but approaching Carter Bates is
proving to be the most difficult thing she has ever
attempted. Over the last few months Carter Bates has
disappeared from Emma's life and she wants to know why, Emma
needs to know why, just like she needs to find out if the
feelings she has been having for her dead lovers best friend
are real or just desperation.
Carter Bates fell in love with his best friend's girl almost
from the first moment they met but has never acted on those
betraying feelings. Carter was Emma's rock after the
accident taking Ben's life but after watching Emma wallow in
misery and refusing to live Carter had to step back and stay
away from her. It just hurt too much to see her pain for a
dead man. The moment Emma steps into his bar Carter can
feel her presence and he immediately knows she wants
something from him. Carter never thought Emma would ask
him to take her to the club he frequents, and at first
he refuses. That is until he realizes that Emma's mind is set
and Carter knows he doesn't want another man touching what
is his.
Red Garnier's THE LAST KISS is full of passion, desperation,
and betrayal with a touch of the unknown. Though it is
strange that the unknown is accepted by all of the
characters rather easily, the extra twist is what makes Red
Garnier's books such must reads.
