COMPLETELY YOURS Release Week
Blitz Assets
I really enjoyed Kiera because she wasn't afraid to be herself in a world that is constantly judging you. She was hurt at a convention for a video game, which she was a creator of. She embraced herself and didn't let anyone make her feel bad about her quirks. Zach was a little harder to like because he was the big brother that thinks he knows all, but really doesn't. Luckily, he start realizing his controlling ways aren't helping the people he thinks he's helping so he backs off. This story wasn't my favorite of Erin Nicholas' but it was still a cute story. It gets 3.5 stars and I'm looking forward to more from this series.

The first book in a brand new contemporary romance
series from New York Times bestselling author Erin Nicholas about three geeky
girls and the hunky guys who fall for them.
Kiera Connelly leads a quiet life, and that's
just how she likes it. She's built a name as a graphic designer and meets up
with her friends online, all from the comfort of her living room couch. But
when a rare outing turns disastrous, Kiera finds herself up close and way too
personal with an unbelievably hot real-life hero.
Zach Ashley doesn't see himself as a hero. He's
just a regular guy who gets to help people every day as an EMT. But when he's
called to a scene and has to treat his most gorgeous patient ever, he finds
himself mixing work with pleasure. He never hesitates to put his life on the
line...but will he ever risk his heart?
Excerpt:
She
was still watching the ambulance, and she nodded absently. “Okay.”
He
moved in front of her and crouched to get on eye level. “You can go right over
and see them at the hospital. Mass General. If you’re not family, they might
not be able to tell you much, but if you can get in touch with their families,
they can come and sit with you, right?”
She
nodded again but Zach wasn’t sure she’d heard him. He really wanted to know
that someone was going to be there with her. Shock in survivors wasn’t
uncommon. The that-could’ve-been-me thing could kick in at any moment if it
hadn’t already. But there was nothing like seeing someone you cared about hurt.
He
put his hands on her arms again, this time rubbing up and down and just
ignoring how good her skin felt against his rough palms. Mostly. He needed to
comfort her more than he needed to worry about how she made him feel.
“Do
you know where Mass General is?” He didn’t love the idea of her driving herself
over there. She was clearly overwhelmed.
Kiera
nodded. “Yes.”
“You
can get there?” he asked.
She
nodded again.
Okay.
So…
“Zach!
Let’s go!”
Zach
glanced over at Reed. His co-workers needed help so he was going to be here for
a while. He couldn’t be messing around, obsessing about a woman who liked to
play dress-up. “Kiera, I need to go but…”
“Yeah,
of course.” She shook her head and looked around. “You go.”
“But…”
But nothing. She was fine, and he was needed by people who weren’t fine.
“Okay.”
He
had the fleeting thought that he wanted to kiss her goodbye. But that was
crazy. They’d just met. In the middle of an emergency. No way should he kiss
her.
Finally,
he let go of her and stepped back. But not touching her didn’t do a thing to
make him not want to touch her. He forced himself to turn away and head
toward Reed, trying to clear his mind of green and gold sweet-smelling flowers
as he went. But when he got about twenty feet from her, he glanced back.
And
she was still standing there. Hugging herself. Looking lost.
Fuck.
“I’ll
be right there,” he told Reed.
Reed
glanced back. “Dude…”
“I
know.” And he did. He needed to not be distracted. But the only way that was
going to happen was if he knew for sure that Kiera was taken care of.
He
jogged back to her side. “Hey princess, what’s up?”
She
looked at him, and her look of confusion cleared. That made him feel stupidly
good.
“I
don’t have a way…”
She
trailed off, and Zach frowned. “You don’t feel up to driving?”
“We
brought Sophie’s car, and her fob thingy is with her.”
Ah.
A little issue. “You have someone you can call?”
“I
didn’t bring my phone.”
“You
can use mine.”
“No
one’s home. I live with Maya and Sophie,” she said. “Obviously, they’re not…
there.”
Her
voice wobbled, and Zach worked on not grabbing her and hugging her.
They’d
just fucking met. Hugging and kissing wasn’t appropriate. Dammit.
“How
about a cab?”
“I
don’t have any money.”
He
looked her over again, revisiting the curves he realized he’d already
memorized. He could give her money for a cab of course. He could get her home.
But she’d be home alone. He could get her to the hospital, but they wouldn’t
talk to her and she’d be stuck in the waiting room for God knew how long.
Alone.
And
leaving her alone was simply something he could not do.
“You
need to come with me.” He reached out and snagged her hand before he could tell
himself that holding her hand was a bad idea.
Because
it was. Her hand felt good in his, and the way she curled her fingers around
his tightly and followed him without question felt good. And the idea that he
was going to get to spend more time with her felt good. And all of that was
bad. And yet, he pulled her along with him through the convention hall and into
the heart of the chaos.
“What are we doing?” she asked.
“I
need to go help with some more injured. And I need you to stick with me.”
“Me?
Why?”
He
looked over at her. Her cape floated behind her, and for the first time, he
noticed the golden sword swinging at her left hip. Damn. That was kind of hot.
“Because you’re a gorgeous kick-ass warrior princess, and the people in here
are gonna need some gorgeous kick-ass stuff.”
She
looked at him with surprise, but as he held her gaze, he saw something that
turned him on even more than her smelling like candy—a spark of determination.
She pulled up straighter as she walked, and he felt her hand tighten on his.
“Kick
ass. Right. I can do that.”
He
smiled. “And I could use some help from an interpreter.”
“An
interpreter? I speak some Spanish but that’s about it.”
“You
don’t speak geek?” He hoped he wasn’t committing a faux pau in calling her, and
all of this, geeky.
But
she actually gave him a half smile. “Oh, geek.
Yes, I’m fluent.”
