Excerpt from A Desperate Man: Volume 3

“SO LET ME get this straight.” Dr. Glover lifted the end of his pen to his lips as his eyes
narrowed on Evan over the top of his glasses. “The woman we’ve been discussing over
the past few weeks finally shows you that she wants more, and you left her in an
emotional heap in her office. Did I get that right?”
Evan stretched his long legs out in front of him. She thinks I fucked a prostitute
the day after I left her apartment, so, yeah, that’s about right. Sighing, he leaned back
into the worn leather couch. “You left out the part about her being a liar. And not
someone I met in the last few weeks. She had an agenda.”
“So did you.”
“And what the hell was that?”
“You wanted to fuck her.”
“Jesus, you get right to the point, don’t you?”
“Well, that’s what you do. Isn’t it?”
I thought it was until I became obsessed with a leggy fucking blonde. Evan glared
at the man whose eyes he swore fucking twinkled. “Even if it is, what therapist talks like
you do? I’m positive they don’t teach you that in Patient-Client Relations 101.”
“I’ve always been a firm believer in no bullshit. I told you that the day you
walked in and tried to lie to me. We aren’t going to make any progress if you don’t trust
me and I don’t trust you.”
“Yeah, yeah, I know. You’re just—”
“Yes, Evan?”
Evan waved him off. “Nothing. I guess I’m still trying to process the fact that
Reagan is that little girl from so long ago. A whole fucking life ago. It’s… I don’t know,”
he said, running his fingers through his hair in frustration. “It’s disconcerting. She knew
“And that bothers you.”
“Fuck yes, it bothers me. I was ten years old the last time I saw her. Innocent.
And now I’m…this.”
“You’re awfully hard on yourself. I wonder if you’re upset over what you’re
saying or over Reagan thinking bad of you.”
And there it was. The truth he didn’t want to admit. Reagan accusing him of being
with anyone hours after he’d been with her had infuriated him. Which was ridiculous,
because he knew what he was. The demons he’d been trying to fight. Why would she
assume anything but the worst? But with that anger came embarrassment and shame. He
hated that she’d seen him on that corner. Hated that she’d seen him with Layla. But how
the fuck could he ever convince her otherwise? And why would he even want to?
“She’s a liar,” he said.
“And you’re a sex addict. Fantastic pairing.”
In the conclusion of our story, Evan is as confused as he has ever been. The strength of the feelings he has for Reagan... The physical attraction is one thing. The emotions she brings out in him are another. Seeking help from his psychiatrist is exasperating. The man just makes him search deeper in his soul for the answers.
This last part of Evan's story is gripping and full of revelations. How Evan handles them is worth reading twice. This is an emotional upheaval period for him. Will there be light at the end of this tunnel. This has been a series blazing with lust, denial, and discoveries. Very interesting reading! Although I am giving it 4 Stars, it is a well-written, interesting, and erotic story.

ABOUT THE AUTHORS
About Brooke
You could say Brooke Blaine was a book-a-holic from the time she knew how to read; she used to tell her mother that curling up with one at 4 a.m. before elementary school was her ‘quiet time.’ Not much has changed except for the espresso I.V. pump she now carries around and the size of her onesie pajamas.
Flash Point is her debut solo novel, and she is the co-author of the erotic serial, A Desperate Man, with Ella Frank. The latter has scarred her conservative southern family for life, bless their hearts. Licked, a romantic comedy, will be released on November 11, 2015.
If you’d like to get in touch with her, she’s easy to find - just keep an ear out for the Rick Astley ringtone that’s dominated her cell phone for ten years.
