Flighty. Stupid.

misunderstood.
With a suitcase in
hand and the ocean as my beacon, I’m charting my own path.
Yet, barely a day on
the road, I almost crash and burn.
Running into Silas
Palmer, a sexy-as-sin rock star, changes my life.
Silas makes me feel …
Exceptional. Aimless.
He’s always known his
course.
And even now, when
he’s abandoning fame and fortune, he knows what he wants.
Me.
But life is never
that simple.

Excerpt
I ogle him with his golden hair, bare chest, and board shorts, and my body thrums the closer he gets, the heavy ache building low within me.
“Good morning.” He wades into the water.
Before I can respond, his lips are on mine, kissing me like it’s been years. He pushes me backward, deeper into the water until I’m chest-deep and he’s holding me by the waist.
“Hi.” I’m dazed and breathless.
He smiles, kisses my cheek, and slips his hand under my swimsuit to squeeze my ass cheek. I copy him, wriggling my hand into his shorts and digging my fingers into the firm flesh of his ass. We laugh, and it’s then I notice the dark circles under his eyes.
“When was the last time you slept?”
“I’ve had naps here and there over the past few days. I’m exhausted. Eli called a break because he needed to see Crystal. I have the rest of the day. Can you play hooky with me?”
“I can’t.”
Sinking his fingers into my dry hair, piled high on the top of my head, he cocks his head to the side and purses his lips.
“I didn’t think so but thought I’d ask. I miss you so much, my beautiful girl.”’
He pulls me into his chest and kisses the top of my head. I sink into his warm embrace and try to keep the tears back.
This man never ceases to surprise me. I never knew how much I needed someone like him, until now. His lips peck at the corner of my mouth before he breaks away to study me. My eyes glitter with the threat of tears. Shit.
“What’s wrong? Fuck, did I do something?”
“No, not at all. These are silly tears of joy. I’m glad to see you. I miss you, too.”
He pulls me in for one more hug. “Come sleep with me for a bit.” He burrows his face into my neck, his moist lips sucking on my skin.
My heart sinks. “I can’t. I’ve got work.”
He groans, the rumble vibrating from his mouth to my neck and down into my chest. I shiver, holding him tighter.

Review
Pansy Dobson has always felt like her life was in flux, no direction, no real passion. Although she has three sisters, they've always seemed to keep her at arm's length. Her latest plan is take off towards the beach and find herself and her passion.
Silas Palmer loves music but he's tired of the fame, paparazzi, groupies, and touring. When he tells his fellow bandmates they don't take the news too well. The last thing he expected was to be thrown off the tour bus in the middle of nowhere.
These two unlikely pair met in the most unlikely situation. Sparks fly and the tension is intense. There relationship grows from strangers to friends to lovers.
But just when they start to find their rhythm, life comes knocking at their door.
Can they find a way to make both their dreams comes true? Or will the pulls in different directions be too much to overcome?
Clutch is about two people on a journey of finding themselves and embracing a love that changes them forever. It's intense, sensual, thought provoking, and fun. The chemistry between Silas and Pansy is powerful right from the start. They way they make their own path together and apart in this world is fascinating.
Pansy is a stronger woman than she gives herself credit for. She may have been told over and over again how lacking she is, she doesn't give up looking for her place in the world. She perseveres through the good and the bad and comes out fighting. Her love for her sisters is unwavering.
Silas is not your typical rock star. He's got a heart of gold and always looks out for those closest to him. His parents aren't the best but the fact that he still tries to be there for them is endearing. I really love how he falls for Pansy and always strives to put her needs and wants above his. He's a man you can't help but fall completely in love with.
I enjoyed Clutch from start to finish and hated to see it end. I loved the incredible storyline, brilliant cast of characters, the witty banters, and the heartwarming romance. I laughed, I cried, and I swooned.
I would highly recommend Clutch if you are looking for a different king of rockstar romance filled with dreams, hope, and everlasting love.
