WAIT FOR IT is book 4 in the Everything
I Left
Unsaid series by M. O'Keefe. This is the erotic alter
ego of Molly O'Keefe, who writes contemporary romances.
Both pens names share the strong use of characters at rock
bottom. Any book of O'Keefe's will drag you through
unbelievable heights of seduction and crashing emotional
lows, leaving your angst-ridden heart sobbing on the floor
as you turn the pages, desperate to know how the characters
will reach their Happily Ever After. I adore that! While
this book is part of a series, it is not necessary to be
familiar with the other characters before diving into WAIT
FOR IT. The characters from other books are shown here, but
are by no means the focus.
This story is told in alternating first person points of
view by Tiffany and Blake. We first met Tiffany in book 1,
EVERYTHING I
LEFT UNSAID, when she was
living in a run-down trailer part with her three children,
trying to stay away from her abusive and spendthrift
husband. Blake is her brother-in-law, and when Blake first
finds out about Tiffany and her purported marriage, he
assumes she's out to scam his family. He pays her off with
$20,000 to stay away from them. Since Tiffany is barely
scraping by, she grits her teeth and takes the money so that
her children don't starve. I really like Tiffany-she's no
nonsense and practical. She is honest, a hard worker, and
would prefer to make it on her own if she could. Her
unfortunate life brings her back into Drake's orbit,
however, and he realizes that he needs to make up for his
past sins.
There is raging sexual tension between Blake and Tiffany,
which is so delicious. Blake behaves in the lifelong
patterns that he has set for himself, trying to control
everything with money, including sex. This makes him a
prime horse's ass, in my opinion. While I understand why
Tiffany sleeps with him (think HOW STELLA GOT HER GROOVE
BACK), I do wish for her to stand up for herself more in the
beginning. WAIT FOR IT is not as filthy as previous books
in the series, but the bedtime antics will still leave you
breathless.
In this series, O'Keefe brings us bad boys who meet their
destiny in the broken women who teach them to love while
they stretch their own wings and learn how to fly again.
O'Keefe always makes me cry bitter tears of disappointment
that lead to relieved sighs of profound happiness when the
dust finally settles. WAIT FOR IT is a solid entry in this
erotic romance series, full of angsty goodness.
In a blistering novel of raw emotion and desire, a
tormented woman teaches an alpha male that money can’t fix
everything . . . but love can.
Tiffany: After fighting for a new life, I
don’t want to play the victim anymore. However, with three
kids to raise, I’m getting desperate enough to make a deal
with the devil. My estranged brother-in-law, Blake, says he
just wants to help, but he’s been trouble since I met him. I
don’t know if I can believe this kinder, gentler Blake, and
there’s a friction between us that has turned into the
sweetest chemistry. He could be my salvation . . . or my
downfall.
Blake: I haven’t always had Tiffany’s best
interests at heart but I’m ready to make up for my sins.
Besides, I can’t help admiring her: The girl’s a genuine
survivor, tough and lean, with eyes of steel. But the more I
get to know Tiffany, the more I want her.
Every inch of her. Which means I’m about to make a bad
situation a hell of a lot worse.
