Excerpts from Prim
and Proper
Sean
pulled off his boxers and added them to the pile of clothes. He smiled at Prim and inquired as to whether
or not she wanted him to do a 360 degree turn.
She shook her head and asked seriously if she could touch his skin. He nodded.
Prim
rose from the couch and came to stand in front of him. She ran her hands along his shoulders, chest,
and belly and examined his tattoo. Putting her arms around his waist, she asked
about the colorful wings, what they meant, and why he’d gotten them on his
chest and not his back. As he slipped
his arms around her, Sean hoped he didn’t come on the spot.
“I
had the tattoo done when I was sixteen.
I was really struggling emotionally but knew I couldn’t let things get
to me. It wasn’t only my future at
stake; it was Mom’s, Dad’s, and Debra’s, too.
I had to keep everything going.
If I didn’t, then the consequences would’ve been disastrous. So, I decided to do something for myself that
would remind me every day that life might be a bitch but I couldn’t give up and
break or it’d be much worse for everyone else I held close to my heart. I found a tattooist I liked, lied about my
age, and explained to him what I wanted.
I’ve looked at that tattoo every day for the last fourteen years, and it
makes me appreciate that I’ve never let anything break my wings.”
“Did
it hurt to have the tattoo done?”
“Yes. I knew it would, but I didn’t care. I needed one thing that was just for me.”
Prim
looked up at him and asked if she could touch his hips and legs. He told her she could touch him anywhere she
wanted.

My 4 Star Review
I received the book from the touring host for an honest review.
The author had a very original plot to the normal contemporary romance. She has written the book with much compassion and thoughtfulness as we learned more about Prim Aurora and Sean Proper.
Two unique people, each with their own fears and challenges that made a beautiful couple. They complimented each others shortcomings, becoming stronger as individuals and was intend to work through the obstacles they faced, together.
Prim's past played a huge role within the book, her relationship with Sean and the rest of the people in Aurora. Fear overshadowed most of her decisions but her support system was excellent as they helped her to confront and overcome it. Damaged from an early age, she had to literally struggle through the lies and burdens placed on her to find the happiness she so obviously needed and deserved. Finding truths that at first startled her but yet freed her from the past's hold on her.
This affected Sean greatly, he was the most caring person, that really tried to fix things for her as they discovered more of her fears and the lies that held her prisoner for so long. Battling with his own problems but yet remained loyal to those he loved. His relationship with his parents was an evidence of his care, devotion and love. His had a fitting name that described him perfectly.
A deeply emotional book with a few important messages within its pages. The one that stood out the most for me was the developmental challenges people faced, peoples reactions towards it, and how we handled it as a society.
As already mentioned, the supporting characters were really very well thought out and fitted perfectly within each scene; each playing their role with the greatest of care. Caleb and Remy, the two men that really got your interest was everything to this couple. Cementing the relationships even better in their specific role.
At the end it was a very touching story, and one I can recommend to readers that's looking for something more than just the normal romance.
