Danny and Liv are back...

Danny loves Liv. He knows he loves her more than she loves him because she ran without a word when she saw their future mapped out before her. He knows he will never love anyone like he loved her and this time he doesn’t think he can move on.

Liv loves Danny. She knows she loves him more than he loves her because he broke her heart in the worst possible way, right when things were falling into place. She knows she will never love anyone like she loves him and this time she doesn’t think she can move on.

They needed a second chance because they just weren’t ready for their first, but when events changed everything between them, they discovered they were just human after all. Now Liv and Danny have to find a way to survive being hurt by each other.

They doubted, they underestimated and they did believe the worst, but only because they were too young the first time and too vulnerable the second time. But now they have changed and if they are not the same, surely things can only turn out differently?

REVIEW -

And I thought taking second chances would make them live their HEA – but I guess I was wrong.

It took one peek at the window, a little of insecurity and a lot of pride to crumble all the pieces that Danny and Liv have built.

Liv was so sure he cheated on her – she had seen it with her two eyes. She in there, getting her clothes off!! She doesn’t need any more evidence to prove his infidelity. Danny hasn’t even contacted her for a week – it says it all. Liv was living her heartbreak – she was a mess, bitter and broken. She thought that finally she and Danny would be happy after all those years apart, and she thought wrong.

Liv is one STUBBORN girl. She wouldn’t give him the time of the day when Danny finally decided to come around. Even their friends could not knock some senses into her. They only wanted her to be happy, and they are thinking she’s making the biggest mistake of her entire life by ignoring Danny.

Danny had made the biggest mistake of his life when he walked away years ago – after realizing that she ran away not because she doesn’t love him, he decided to stay and fight for his love. And FIGHT he did. I haven’t seen anyone more determined in winning someone they loved like Danny. He was persuasive, but not to the point that he was pushy. He stays with her despite the fact that she continuously ignores him. He knew, it may take a while, it may take years, but he was willing to wait. He was not giving up this time.

If you have fallen in love with both characters in JUST HUMAN, wait until you read this. But of course, they will have the tendency to annoy your first and get into your nerves for being stubborn. Nevertheless, they relieve the old adage that if you two are meant for each other – fate will bring you back together.

Still Human is a love story that withstood time, fate and distance. Their love have withstand several trials and misunderstanding – but it had allowed their relationship to grow and to be stronger. I like how the story ended, both of them deserved it after what they have been through. Still Human is a sweet, swoon-worthy romantic read with extra hot steamy scenes that will make you believe that love doesn’t just stop with second chances.

I’m determined to go out tonight, but he’s making it so hard. I turn in his arms and face him. He’s impossible to resist. I gasp as his hand slips inside the delicate lace of my underwear and shudder when his finger brushes my clit. I kiss him, slowly, as his fingers enter me. I know we’re not leaving this room tonight, but I keep up the pretence for a minute longer. While I’m lingering around his ear, I whisper what I wish he could do to me if we weren’t going out to dinner. He moans, turned on by my explicit words, so I continue, telling him what I wish I could do to him. Then, what I say to him turns him on so much it almost gets him there.

I whisper. “Oh, screw it. Use me…don’t hold back, take what you need.”

“Oh God, Liv.” He groans as I sink to kneel at his feet.

I take him in my mouth, running my tongue all the way around him to ease my path. He sighs at first but as I move, his sighs become whispers, the whispers become moans. Then as I begin to accept him deeper and deeper, his hands appear, ready to do what I asked. To use me and take what he needs.

He is never rough, but I love it when he takes control. That first night we were together, it happened by accident, but the effect on both of us was amazing, it’s something he knows I love now and he doesn’t feel bad about it. He forces himself into my mouth, over and over again, while my fingers dig into his thighs. My hands give an indication to him of just how much I can take. Occasionally they twitch up, almost at the point of asking him to stop, but I never do. I can take it, but it drives him crazy, thinking I'm on the verge of begging him to stop.

I make that low throaty moan he loves and he gasps.

“Jesus, Liv.” He hisses. “Touch yourself.”

A thrill goes through me and I willingly oblige, sliding my hand under the soft lace of my underwear. He can’t see, but he knows I’m doing it. I moan to let him know I’ve hit home and he seems to lose control at the thought. Focusing hard on his goal, he uses long, slow strokes. I roll my tongue around him every time he almost withdraws and accept him back as deep as possible each time he pushes in. His jagged breaths tell me he’s getting close and my fingers bring a stifled moan from me that seals the deal for him.

“I’m gonna come.” He moans desperately. I simply allow him to use me to get there, I love it when he really lets go “Oh God.” He gasps as his body tenses, then releases into my willing mouth.

He shudders as he finishes. Looking down at me, he laughs.

I’m breathless and weak with need, but I’m happy on this occasion to make that all about him. It’s one in the bank for me later, not that we’re keeping score. Trembling a little, I stand and wipe away the tears he forced from my eyes with his deep thrusting.

“Can we go to dinner now?” I smirk.

“I don’t think you were finished.” He grins, trailing a finger along the fabric of my knickers.

“Later.” I say firmly, moving his hand away.

“No, now!” He demands, lifting me suddenly.

I shriek, “Danny! Put me down!” Which he does, on the bed, with a thump. He yanks my underwear to the side and sucks in my clit, before I know what has happened.

“Oh, God!” I cry as his fingers push inside me.
