I’m a journalist—Adam Kincaid, BBC reporter, to be exact, so I’m not going to bury the lead. I’m about to see the woman I never got over.
I know that because I’ve been back in America for years now, and I still don’t date American girls. My dad would say I’ve come to my senses, sticking to my own British patrician kind, but that’s crap. Mum, the psychologist, would more wisely say it’s my unresolved issues around Nicki. My teenage years are long behind me, yet my guilt over her remains. So I’ve avoided all things Nicki, though the irony is she’s the one avoiding me.
Maybe if we see each other, we can both move on. Could she ever forgive me? Can you forgive yourself when you hurt someone you love?
But please, don’t answer yet. I’ve jumped ahead of the story, and as a reporter, I should give you more background to get to the root of it all.
So let me tell you my story. Then you can be the judge.
NOTE: While this is the third in the series, it can be read as a standalone

This third instalment in the Beside Your Heart series is
completely from Adam's POV. I am a fan
of these alternative POV books because it just gives another layer to the story
when you can see what is going on inside the mind of the other person in the
story.
We get to see what was really going on inside his head when
he decided to apply for the BBC job at the Whitehouse. What he thought the first time he saw Nicki
again. What he really thought about Juan
Carlos - men are so territorial! The
conversations that Adam had with Felicity were really interesting too. David played a huge part in helping bring
this couple back together and Adam eventually won her heart back again.
I am definitely a sucker for second chance love. This spanned over many years but the
connection they had as teenagers never changed after all that time and as
adults has intensified into a beautiful love story.
I give this 3.5 stars.

By the time we reached my room, though, the bed had become
obsolete. We kissed along the way, and I couldn’t get our clothes off fast
enough. When Nicki was naked, I had to listen to her usual nonsense about her
body. Women will never learn that men are simply happy that they’re naked.
After I told Nicki she wasn’t allowed to criticize a body I loved, she rewarded
me with a forceful kiss. I grabbed her bum, and she kissed me again with a
giggle before jumping up and wrapping her legs around me.
She was so close to me that it made the head of my dick feel
like there was a homing device in it. The position must’ve unleashed something
similar in her as well. She asked with a smile, “Shall we stand?”
Feeling her wetness against me, I practically hissed, “Why yes,
thank you,” and my lips met hers for another kiss. As our tongues tangled, it
struck me that I now had a far more verbal partner in Nicki than before. I
wondered what I could say that would be…inspirational. Sadly, I knew my
limitations. I wasn’t like my cad cousin. I was far too proper and reserved to
talk dirty. So I decided to say exactly what I wanted. “Put me inside of you.”
The direct approach seemed to be just as good for her
because she gasped, “God, yes.”
