Excerpt
“What are you so afraid of? You think that
I don’t know you?” I closed the distance between us and reached for her hand.
“You bite the tip of your index finger when you’re nervous. You eat peanut
butter straight from the jar and hum when you lick the spoon. Family gatherings
make you uncomfortable. And you’re stubborn as hell.”

Emotion swam in her green irises.
I cupped her cheeks between my palms. “I
love you with all that I am.”

“Please … don’t do this.” She blinked back
the threat of tears.

“I need the words. Tell me you don’t want

and I won’t ever look back.”

Time ticked by as I waited for the words.
The urge to press my mouth to hers burned through me, but I needed an answer.

Molly closed her eyes, inhaling deeply, and
when she opened them again, it was as though a switch had been flipped. She
grasped my wrists, removing my hands from her face, and then took a step back
and straightened her spine.

Pain ripped through me. I dropped my head
to the ground, giving it a shake before I looked back at her. “You win.” I gave

Anger and agony twisted inside me, twining

Review by Nancy
I tell you, K. Street writes the sweetest, most realistic romance! I fell in love with Maplewood Falls and their residents in Book #1. After the Prologue, Where Love Lives really starts with some steamy fireworks! Molly has a drink-hazed night with her previous boyfriend, Easton. But that one event will drive them back together. Easton said he never wants to see Molly again. Molly is just trying to do the right thing, but is afraid and lacks trust in Easton. Will two pink lines be able to bring this sweet couple together again? Can Molly conquer her personal demons?
This book, y’all!! I actually cried a couple times. (That rarely happens.) Easton and Molly’s story will pull on your heart in the best way. I just love how when Easton is “all in” he doesn’t give up. I have such a book boyfriend crush on him. I really would have loved a chapter on the baby’s birth. Contemporary romance readers will really enjoy Where Love Lives! 4 stars
