Once you pick Body Heart and Soul up, you may have trouble putting it down. The storytelling gift of Samantha Lucas will draw you in from the beginning; a mysterious job on a tropical island that seems too good to be true, a summer spent in paradise at the home of a wealthy woman. A dream that turns into a sexual awakening for a vulnerable young woman, Body Heart and Soul is a non stop emotional story of innocence and wickedness. Devlin, Barbara, and Kira are well rounded characters with depth and distinction that is hard to ignore; they are in your face from the moment they enter a scene, demanding your attention and ensuring you take notice of them, good and bad. Samantha Lucas has a gift for description and characterization; this reader felt like these characters were friends, needing my love and support throughout the story. The sexual exploits are appropriate to the story and exceed expectations for romance and emotional connection. Body Heart and Soul is a book I am happy to recommend, and Samantha Lucas is an author I will be watching for future projects." —Scarlet, Fallen Angel Reviews

5 Hearts: "This is such a great book that it would be easy to get lost in the action! There is a lot going on, but Ms. Samantha Lucas is to be commended for her excellent job writing this novel! I absolutely loved the plot as well as the characters.
     Devlin Kiersen, 38, had been involved with Barbara Folsom-Worthington, 53, for the past 12 years. Each summer she hired an assistant to go to a private island with her. This year she hired Kira Kimberlynn Nestor, 24-year-old college senior, majoring in art. By accepting employment with Barbara, she got a brand new, expensive wardrobe, luxurious accommodations, and a social life she had never dreamed possible. There was just one big problem! Kira didn’t realize what kind of “assistant” Barbara hired every year. Since she was 15 years older than Dev, and she liked to swing both ways, Barbara always hired a young, beautiful woman to keep them both entertained. However, she always let Dev go first!
     This book, as I said, is packed with strong character personalities with lots of energy and high sex drives, as well as sordid pasts. Ms. Lucas has presented them just as you would unfold a family portrait; each person has such depth and, either caring or self-interested, all share a desire to have someone to love. Even though Kira is consistent throughout the book, it is obvious that she is out of her league. To say that they had unusual activities is an understatement! This unique plot, while fast-paced, was almost impossible to put down. I loved the way she developed the two main characters and allowed us to figuratively see into their souls! The sexual scenes were very explicit and quite often; however, I felt they were artistically done and emotionally stirring!
     I really loved this book and feel that it should be read by all; you definitely will not be disappointed. Well done, Ms. Lucas!" —Brenda Talley, The Romance Studio

I just expected another love story with great sex, but this was so much more. You don’t want to miss this book. Read it today." —Julianne, Two Lips Reviews

STORY EXCERPT

Dev's breath literally caught in his chest, causing the smoke he'd just inhaled to sear his lungs, demanding release. From under the branches of an enormous wisteria vine, he ran his hand through thick, long hair, holding it back while his eyes examined the woman from head to foot and instantly felt the familiar heat of desire flare.

How does Barbara always manage to find them so young and innocent looking?

Dev took one last, long drag on his cigarette before throwing it off the stone balcony, the bright orange coal flickering in the darkness during its fall to the damp ground below, but his attention was completely snared now by the young woman twenty feet away from him.

She stared into the ballroom with rapt disbelief on her face, and while she was distracted and couldn't know how lecherously he watched her, he took the time to imprint her image in his mind. The entire time, his fingers fought spasms from the aching need to touch her.

Gold satin caressed her full breasts in a way that left him almost jealous. He wanted it to be his hands holding her, embracing her. He yearned to first slide over the satin, then beneath it, where he knew he'd find her warm satiny skin, her nipples hard and begging for his touch.

Dev couldn't remember a time in his life when a woman had affected him like this, and if he'd gotten hard at the thought of her breasts, he went granite-hard looking at her hair. Dark blonde hair so long that it brushed her lower back was tied in a satin ribbon. He instantly imagined running his fingers through it, burying his face in the soft curls.

His cock twitched and begged for freedom. He'd never seen such a glorious mane of hair before and ached to have it spread across his naked body. He wanted to fist his hands in it while he guided her mouth over his rigid cock until he came. He drew a deep breath, gripping the stone railing with a casual air he was far from feeling, while attempting to hold back the surge of testosterone threatening to cripple him.

Barbara has outdone herself this summer.

He patted his tux jacket, looking for another cigarette. He'd stopped smoking on a regular basis five years ago, but a summer at Barbara's was too much to handle without a few smokes. Sadly, he realized he only allotted himself one for tonight—which would have been enough if the evening had gone the way it was supposed to. Hell, it was only the first night, but he had not expected to encounter a golden goddess on a candle-lit balcony.

Dev continued to watch her. Something about the woman had him spellbound and he wasn't physically able to pull his eyes from her. Experience told him she was his for the taking. Under normal circumstances, Dev would have made a seductive suggestion, found a quiet alcove some place, and had her naked up against the wall, but something about her held him back. In fact, more than just not wanting to take this woman, he actually felt a growing need to throw her over his shoulder, haul her sweet little ass back upstairs and help her pack. Get her off this godforsaken island before it was too late and she wasn't the same woman she was when she arrived.

The air was heavily perfumed with roses and gardenias. Soft light from the candles flickered over her sensuous, curvy body as she gently swayed back and forth in time with one of Bach's Brandenburg concertos spilling along with laughter and muffled voices from the ballroom.

It would have been very like a dream, if not for the fact that he knew this woman was far from the innocent she pretended to be. Whoever she was, she was here for show, here to be tempted, seduced, but she was no innocent. Dev wondered if there were any innocents left in the world. He knew it had been a damn long time since he'd met one. But then, in his circle, an innocent would have been very like a lamb to the slaughter.

Smart women avoided him. Others craved him. He had his pick, and only played with ones who understood both his need and the score. He shifted his cock, hoping to ease some of the building pressure just the mere sight of this woman triggered.

He had to smile at the way she moved to the music, hanging back in the shadows as if this was all new to her. He chuckled and followed her gaze to the guests, who were putting on quite a show tonight. All of them full of the manners breeding gave them. Manners that hid the depravity laying beneath, but Dev knew it wouldn't be long before those niceties slipped and the real identity of these people surfaced.

After all, he was one of them...

ADULT EXCERPT

Dev was crazed with passion, had never felt so out of control in all his life. He’d come around that bend and knew instantly that it was Kira, but it took him a few minutes to figure out what she was doing.

At one point, she’d shifted her position and the moonlight had made her veil-thin gown completely transparent. He’d nearly cum right there. Gazing at the definition of her legs, he pictured her standing completely naked for his perusal, her breasts rising and falling with her need for him, her nipples hard, her pussy dripping wet.

He wondered if she shaved it. Would he find nothing? A small strip, a tidy V or maybe she’d be all natural. God, he couldn’t wait to bury his face in it, suck and lick her until she screamed for him.

It was at that point the woman in the bushes screamed, bringing Dev back to reality and the reality was Kira wasn’t the little innocent she pretended flawlessly to be, she was a voyeur and who knew what else, so why the hell had he been waiting? That was when he grabbed her and pulled her away, knowing he had to get her someplace private before he exploded and simply rammed his throbbing cock into her right there on one of the paths.

Dev pulled away again, looked down into her passion-dark eyes, filled with that damn innocence that she was so good at feigning. He ran his thumb over her cheek, wanting to slow down before it was all over before it began. He'd never wanted a woman this badly, or for so long before he had her. He would enjoy Kira, thoroughly.

"I'm going to fuck you, Kira."

He smiled when she shivered.

"Fuck you every way a man can fuck a woman. Then I'm going to take you upstairs and fuck you again."

She lost her breath on a whimper. He didn't know if he wanted her to stop the damn act or not. He had to admit it turned him on, making him so hard he couldn't see straight, but part of him wanted to fuck her with no games, no role-playing. Those could come later. Right now he just wanted Kira—the real Kira.

He fisted his hands in her long hair that hung loosely in curls and sparkled with glitter, bringing his face to within an inch of hers.

"Drop the fucking virgin act."

He spoke slowly, low and clear and saw something flicker in those incredibly passionate eyes. Her tongue came out to lick her bottom lip and for a second he thought she was going to argue with him, so he added, "If I wanted a fucking virgin, I'd go find one. What I want is you, Kira."

She didn't speak, only looked up at him a little like a deer in the headlights.

"Do you understand me?"

She nodded, licked her lips again and said, "No virgins."

He smiled, slowly and wickedly, and kissed her again, then swept an arm under her knees, pulling her off the ground and against his chest, taking her to the soft ground near the waterfall before tearing the wings off her costume.

He wanted to go slowly and treasure every moment of this first time, wanted to explore every square inch of satiny skin, wanted to taste every part of her, but his dick kept telling him it couldn't wait. He shoved her skirt up over her thighs and tore the panties from her, then stared with excruciating need at her wet pussy.

Her startled gasp registered somewhere inside his head. Somewhere, he knew he wasn't being fair. This wasn't just about his pleasure, he had to take care of her also, and he would, after. It was the best he could do at the moment.

"Beautiful, I swear I'll make this first time up to you."

His gaze moved from her wet, hot, swollen pussy to her face, only to find her eyes closed, her lower lip seriously being chewed on and her hands clasped together over her breasts.

"Goddamn, Kira! Can't you stop playing even for a second? Is this part so deeply ingrained that it's all you know how to do?" He shoved two fingers inside her, felt her flinch, then tighten around him.

"Is this what you like?"

He held back on his temper, his voice now coming out as a smooth caress as her pussy gripped his fingers, dripping all over him. Her scent thrust through him as a shot of white heat. He was nearly blind and deaf with need, but he did hear the voices heading their way. He waited, hoping they'd go right by, because he didn't think he could stop himself now, but didn't want Kira embarrassed, unless…He turned his eyes back on her.

"You like to be watched when you fuck, Kira?"

"I…I…" she drew a sharp breath. "I don't know."

He unbuckled the shorts he wore under the tunic, relishing the freedom as he pulled his cock out. He stroked it once, just to relieve some pressure. Several drops formed on the tip. He looked back down at Kira. "Take me in your mouth."

He backed off her so she could sit up. She moved up on her elbows looking positively frightened. His brain started to short-circuit, trying to align all the opposing thoughts, feelings and needs shooting through him. His blood pounded in his ears with the need to take her, his conscience still screamed to protect her. His common sense told him he had missed some important piece of this puzzle, but his cock instructed him to charge, and quite frankly that was the only one he was really interested in listening to and the one that was hardest to ignore.

* * * *

Kira looked from Dev's face—the pain, lust and need in his eyes—to his…she swallowed. It was so big that she was sure he'd break her if he tried to fit that thing inside her, and he wanted her to put it in her mouth?

This all seemed too fast. She did want this, but was slower too much to ask? At the same time, she felt terrible for lying to him. She knew he didn't expect a virgin, but what was she supposed to do about that now? If she told him, he'd walk away and that level of mortification didn't even bear contemplating.

Tentatively, she reached for him, barely grazing him with her fingertips when he groaned and moved a little closer. With his eyes closed, she took the moment to study him. Big and red and hard, it had clear liquid spilling from the tip and running down the back. She caught a drip with her finger and put it in her mouth. When she looked back at Dev, he was watching her and she was sure her lungs stopped working.

"Your tongue, Kira. Fuck me with your mouth."
