Excerpt:
“Something smells incredible,” Lucas said, his voice growing closer.
He entered the room, his big body filling up the kitchen despite its substantial size for a Manhattan apartment. She looked him over through lowered lashes. Though it was a workday, his wardrobe choice consisted of a pair of faded jeans and a black tee shirt with the Blink logo. He looked as delicious as her cookies, and she wanted to take a bite out of him.
Her thoughts stopped her in her tracks, and she felt her face flush. But his gaze was focused on the tin of treats, and he didn’t notice her heated cheeks or her traitorous hormones. He walked over, picked up one hot, melty cookie, and devoured it in one bite.
“Mmm,” he said, closing his eyes and swallowing with a satisfied groan.
Her girlie parts tingled. Yep, that’s how she chose to think of them. If she got any more specific, she’d be blushing more and in deeper trouble than she already was.
“Good?” she managed to ask.
“Delicious. You’re a woman of many talents,” he said, the compliment warming her.
“Thank you.”
A smear of chocolate sat on his lower lips. Unable and unwilling to stop herself, she stepped closer, reached out, and ran her finger over his mouth, transferring the chocolate from him to her.
She glanced at the gooey substance, hesitated a fraction of a second, and slid her finger into her mouth, licking off the remainder of the treat. Maybe it was her imagination, but she could swear she tasted Lucas on her tongue. She knew damn well she felt him low down in her sex. To hell with embarrassment, thanks to Lucas all she could do was feel.
His heavy-lidded gaze locked with hers. “Maxie,” he said on a groan.
Her breasts tingled at the low rumble in his voice. Like the other night, she was playing with fire. But unlike the other night, she was feeling stronger and more in control. Just the fact that she had a job interview emboldened her and gave her strength, more like the Maxie Sullivan she’d been before Keith manipulated and warped her mind.
“Lucas.” She whispered his name.
“Walk away,” he said, his body taut and vibrating with what she knew was the same desire shooting through her veins.
“I can’t.”
His gaze darkened. “Then run before we do something you’ll regret.”

Jill’s Review
Going Down Fast by Carly Phillips is a book that sucks you in with its sexy and touching story.
This is a second chance love story that shows just how complicated both love and family can be. Well… complicated may be a bit of an understatement here! Lucas and Maxie were best friends from childhood. But both yearned for each other even then. But time took them in different directions. And Maxie ended up in the arms of his brother… which of course made her off limits.
I was quickly absorbed in this story. My heart was gripped with the emotion as I watched them fight their feelings for each other. I was rooting for their love to win out over all else. You could feel the chemistry between them leaping off of the pages. I ached for the past and everything that had happened that kept them apart from each other. And I loved the connection that they had together. It was deep and meaningful. And it helped make you really feel those emotions so much more.
Going Down Fast is a book that I would definitely recommend.
I received a complimentary copy of Going Down Fast.
