When it came to Emily, Blaine messed up. He knocked her up and wasn’t there for her. He went off the deep end and lost everything including his woman and his daughter.
He owes Angel everything for bringing his girls back into his life.
Emily has tried to forget the past and move on but she can’t. Blaine is back to being the man she fell in love with but for how long? Can she trust him? There are so many questions that she can’t answer.
It’s the time for forgiving. Blaine’s determined to prove to Emily he’s not going anywhere. He’s back and he’s taking her as his wife. Will she accept or leave him for good?
Nothing is ever certain at The Skulls!
Excerpt:
This was what he loved about Emily. She was a natural woman. There was nothing fake about her. Lenard was right. She loved with her whole heart. Emily never gave half. It was always full. But she was giving him half of herself. She was scared to give herself completely, and he’d been the one to destroy that part of her. He’d make sure she didn’t have a choice but to love him.
He removed his hand long enough to open the buttons on her pajama shirt. Blaine revealed her tits to his gaze. They were large, full, and the tips of her nipples were rock hard.
“Beautiful,” he said, stroking a thumb over one hard bud.
“Blaine?”
“I’ve been thinking about seeing you like this for a long time.” He leaned in close, flicking the tip of her dark red nipple with his tongue.
They both groaned. The sound filled the air between them, echoing off the walls.
He sucked the nipple into his mouth as he pinched the other. Blaine flicked the tip a final time before moving toward the other. He slid his hands down her body to rest on her pajama bottoms. His cock was rock hard, and he wore a pair of sweat pants that didn’t hide his raging erection.
“Please, Blaine.”
“Don’t worry, baby. I’ve got you covered. I’m going to make you feel so good.” He went to his knees and started to remove her pants. Within seconds he had her completely naked. Leaving the bed, he tugged his sweat pants off. He wouldn’t fuck her this morning. The only time he’d fuck her was when she was begging him to do it.
Crawling on the bed, he opened her thighs, seeing the fight in her eyes.
He didn’t give her a chance to push him away.
Blaine opened the lips of her sex, pressing his thumb to her clit.
She arched up. Her tits shook with her indrawn breath.
“Are you as juicy as I remember?”
He closed the distance between them, opening her pussy to see her swollen clit. She was soaking wet. His mouth watered, and he didn’t wait for her permission. Blaine sucked her nub, groaning as her cream filled his mouth.
“Blaine.” She screamed his name, thrusting her pelvis up against him.
“So wet and so juicy.” He moved down to her entrance and pressed his tongue inside. She tasted musky, sweet, and exactly like his woman. “You’re perfect.”
“Please, Blaine.”
“Do you want me to make you come?”
“Yes. Please, Blaine, I need it. I’ve not been with anyone else but you. I need you.”
He was going to be everything to her. Blaine wasn’t going to walk away. She may not know what she felt for him, but he wasn’t going to let her doubt her feelings for him again. He didn’t go through all the shit he went through just to lose her now. She was his woman, and he wasn’t going to let her get away.
Plundering her cunt with his tongue, he stroked her clit. Her screams grew louder as he teased her pussy.
“This is my pussy, Emily. I took your virginity. I lay claim to it. You gave birth to my child. The only dick this cunt will ever see is mine.”
Another fantastic book from Sam Crescent! It is Christmas with The Skulls, as the club moves on from the turmoil wrought by Gonzalez and company. This one was so sweet and I am a sucker for a second chance at love story. I enjoyed every last page from beginning to end.
This is a series that keeps getting better with every book, as each one gets harder hitting than the last. Crescent wasn't holding anything back as she opened with a scene that was a punch in my emotional gut. It broke my heart to see the pain that Blaine put down on Emily. Blaine started out being a real douche-bag. So Crescent burned it all down, and then built it all back up again. It took a few years and was painful at times, but worth the hard work that Blaine put into earning his way back with Emily and their little girl. Then, of course, they had so much fun making up for lost time with plenty of sexy times. Hot ! Hot ! Hot ! Helloooo...it is a Sam Crescent book.
It was a peaceful time with The Skulls. This book was mostly about family and tumultuous relationships. While it was romantic and the main focus remained on Blaine and Emily, the story as a whole included small parts about some of our favorite Skulls. There was a wedding for Whizz and Lacey, drama with Hardy and Rose, new romance on the horizon for Baker and Millie, and Stink and Sandy, just to name a few. New members are voted in, and trouble may not be too far behind. So this book was by far one of my favorites in the series.
So for my critique I'd say it was well written. The plot was good, and flowed easily without too many editing issues. The story was sweet, passionate and funny at times. Of course I loved all the characters. Most of all I loved how Crescent continues to nurture the future possibilities. I can see the writing on the wall...trouble up ahead with the kids. I can't wait for that.
What can I say about this book? I loved it and can't wait for the next one.

Just for Christmas
Written by Allison Gill on 19th Dec 2014
Christmas book in the Skulls series.
This is a great book. We get to catch up with all the club and finally get to find out what happened between Blaine and Emily, and what a great story it is.
Tabitha and Simon are still giving their parents a hard time over the split between the Skulls and Chaos Bleeds, but they are not the only kids that give you the feeling that this series is going to be long and fun. Something to look forward to

Adore
Written by Neringa on 17th Dec 2014
I'm again here, to express my feelings, about another Sam's book. I'm getting predictable. Lol. I cherish ALL Sam's books but most I adore MC books. So I never can say anything bad about them. They all bring joy to me.
This story is in a peace phase. No enemys. Except maybe...Well, here fits that saying "You're worst your own enemy." This saying fits for our H&H here at the beginning and for another couple. Which I will mention later.
So, Blaine our hero. Well, not so much a hero, but a d*uchebag, at the begining at the story. He had everything and then blow it all. I wanted to deliver a good kick in his b*lls. Emily did such a good decision at the time.
Some years later and...Blaine is completely a different person. And I loved that person. Emily to loves that person. She just afraid if she give him a chance, let him in, Blaine would shatter her again. She allows him to interact with their daughter, Darcy, but she puts a wall between them.
Good thing, that Blaine don't giving up so easily. He doe's everything, to show that she and Darcy is his whole world and no one matters to him more.
And slowly, Emily let's the walls down. Lets herself to believe in Blaine. Lets herself to live again. Lets herself to be happy with the only man, she ever loved.
Here in the story is some snippets about other members in the club. Like...
Whizz&Lacey. It made my heart warm, to see how they are holding each other. And I'm not only talking about physical holding. Whizz here is just bloody amazing. When you read, you will understand. And will love him, too.
Hardy&Rose. Again that painful couple. So lost in the pain of the past. Rose should have done what Emily did, in similar position. And not to swept everyting under the mat and just ignore. Hardy&Rose didn't deal with anything. And now everything comes out of seams. And Hardy here made me so mad. He was so harsh and unfair. What the f*** is wrong with him?! Rose is right, he's spoiled and selfish. Hardy needs to do some grow up and change his outlook.
Oh, our sexy biker, Baker. It's seems he meet his second chance. Just the question is, if he will let himself have it?
Stink&Sandy. I just have to say this. Finally, man! Some progress here. I tought, I will be an old cat lady, until he make any move. Lol.
PS Loved when Emily kicked some sk*nks a**. Go, girl, protect and fight for your man!
PSS Loved the snowfight. It was amazing to 'watch' how the club is a real family.
PSSS This stories ending is...Well, let just say with one sentence, Sam, lets us know, that there is possibility, that peace in the Skulls life might end soon. What comes towards the club? S***, I'm anxious

It is Christmas with The Skulls, as the club moves on from the turmoil wrought by Gonzalez and company. This one was so sweet and I am a sucker for a second chance at love story. I enjoyed every last page from beginning to end.\r\n\r\nThis is a series that keeps getting better with every book, as each one gets harder hitting than the last. Crescent wasn't holding anything back as she opened with a scene that was a punch in my emotional gut. It broke my heart to see the pain that Blaine put down on Emily. Blaine started out being a real douche-bag. So Crescent burned it all down, and then built it all back up again. It took a few years and was painful at times, but worth the hard work that Blaine put into earning his way back with Emily and their little girl. Then, of course, they had so much fun making up for lost time with plenty of sexy times. Hot ! Hot ! Hot ! Helloooo...it is a Sam Crescent book.\r\n\r\nIt was a peaceful time with The Skulls. This book was mostly about family and tumultuous relationships. While it was romantic and the main focus remained on Blaine and Emily, the story as a whole included small parts about some of our favorite Skulls. There was a wedding for Whizz and Lacey, drama with Hardy and Rose, new romance on the horizon for Baker and Millie, and Stink and Sandy, just to name a few. New members are voted in, and trouble may not be too far behind. So this book was by far one of my favorites in the series.\r\n\r\nSo for my critique I'd say it was well written. The plot was good, and flowed easily without too many editing issues. The story was sweet, passionate and funny at times. Of course I loved all the characters. Most of all I loved how Crescent continues to nurture the future possibilities. I can see the writing on the wall...trouble up ahead with the kids. I can't wait for that.\r\n\r\nWhat can I say about this book? I loved it and can't wait for the next one.\r\n\r\n","date":"22nd Jan 2015"},{"name":"Lisa Carlton","rating":"5","title":"This was another amazing installment to an excellent series","text":"This was another amazing installment to an excellent series....Sam makes you fall in love over and over again with all her characters","date":"1st Jan 2015"},{"name":"Angie","rating":"4","title":"Sweet Story","text":"I enjoyed reading Blaine's story.

I'm getting predictable. Lol. I cherish ALL Sam's books but most I adore MC books. So I never can say anything bad about them. They all bring joy to me.\r\n\r\nThis story is in a peace phase. No enemys. Except maybe...Well, here fits that saying "You're worst your own enemy." This saying fits for our H&H here at the beginning and for another couple. Which I will mention later.\r\n\r\nSo, Blaine our hero. Well, not so much a hero, but a d*uchebag, at the begining at the story. He had everything and then blow it all. I wanted to deliver a good kick in his b*lls. Emily did such a good decision at the time.\r\n\r\nSome years later and...Blaine is completely a different person. And I loved that person. Emily to loves that person. She just afraid if she give him a chance, let him in, Blaine would shatter her again. She allows him to interact with their daughter, Darcy, but she puts a wall between them.\r\n\r\nGood thing, that Blaine don't giving up so easily. He doe's everything, to show that she and Darcy is his whole world and no one matters to him more.\r\n\r\nAnd slowly, Emily let's the walls down. Lets herself to believe in Blaine. Lets herself to live again. Lets herself to be happy with the only man, she ever loved.\r\n\r\nHere in the story is some snippets about other members in the club. Like...\r\n\r\nWhizz&Lacey. It made my heart warm, to see how they are holding each other. And I'm not only talking about physical holding. Whizz here is just bloody amazing. When you read, you will understand. And will love him, too.\r\n\r\nHardy&Rose. Again that painful couple. So lost in the pain of the past. Rose should have done what Emily did, in similar position. And not to swept everyting under the mat and just ignore. Hardy&Rose didn't deal with anything. And now everything comes out of seams. And Hardy here made me so mad. He was so harsh and unfair. What the f*** is wrong with him?! Rose is right, he's spoiled and selfish. Hardy needs to do some grow up and change his outlook.\r\n\r\nOh, our sexy biker, Baker. It's seems he meet his second chance. Just the question is, if he will let himself have it?\r\n\r\nStink&Sandy. I just have to say this. Finally, man! Some progress here. I tought, I will be an old cat lady, until he make any move. Lol.\r\n\r\nPS Loved when Emily kicked some sk*nks a**. Go, girl, protect and fight for your man!\r\nPSS Loved the snowfight. It was amazing to 'watch' how the club is a real family.\r\nPSSS This stories ending is...Well, let just say with one sentence, Sam, lets us know, that there is possibility, that peace in the Skulls life might end soon. What comes towards the club?
