Description of Nirvana:
Junior Saunders is searching for the perfect woman: gracious, elegant, and meek. He waits patiently, working long hours and going home alone night after night, believing that this woman exists. But life isn’t always predictable; curveballs can be thrown unexpectedly.
Kinsey Balterson is everything but gentle, delicate, and docile. She says it like it is—a spitfire, full of sarcasm with looks to kill. She’s downright sexy and thrilling in every way possible. Kinsey is a constant reminder of everything Junior detests in a woman, but the moment he lets his guard down, she captures his attention.
Can opposites really attract?
From this moment on, nothing is the same for Junior again. Everything he thought he wanted and needed no longer exists, and now his whole world has been shifted. His reason for breathing consists only of her—Kinsey. She has become his everything.
Kinsey thinks she has this all under control: friends with benefits, no strings attached—no messy feelings. She refuses to be broken again. But what happens when attraction turns into something deeper? Will Kinsey be able to let her walls down so her damaged heart can love again?
Can one person truly heal another’s heartbreak?

Excerpt:
I decide to leave work early today so I can take a nap. The hours I have been putting in this week have completely drained me of energy. I think it takes more energy to avoid Kinsey than it takes to cross paths with her. I need to rest before I go into the gauntlet tonight.
It’s quiet and peaceful in the apartment. I dose off quickly, but when I am awoken, it’s by Kinsey standing over me, shaking me . I look around, confused. Am I dreaming? I look up at her to ask her why she’s in my room, but instead of allowing the words to flow out of my mouth, I feel my hard dick under my sweats.
Yup. Just the sight of her makes my dick hard. Shit. I look at her through my groggy eyes. She’s absolutely beautiful, and without another thought, I grab her hand and pull her down to me. She struggles for a moment, asking me what the fuck I’m doing, but all thoughts and questions fly out the door when our lips touch.
She melds perfectly into me. Her plush lips feel amazingly soft against mine. She opens for me willingly as I glide my tongue into her mouth. A small moan escapes her, going straight to my cock. I run my fingers through the back of her hair and tug gently as our tongues dance together to our own sexy music.
Everything about her is so tantalizing: her smell, her skin, her sweet moans. I can’t seem to get enough. The energy surrounding us is on fire. She’s engulfing me with her electrifying aura, and I can’t seem to get enough. I’m tangled in her web, but I have no urge to break free.
Her palms lie on my bare chest; her fingernails digging into me. Just as I’m about to shift her body over mine, she disconnects from me and pushes away. I want to beg for her to come back.
“Junior, what the fuck are we doing?” she questions, running her hands through her hair.
I now feel nothing but cold air hitting my stifling, hot body. Shit! What did I just do? Kinsey stands up, pacing in front of my bed. I sit up, trying to make sense of all this. Did this really just happen? “Why are you in my room?” I question.
“Because I was calling for you and you wouldn’t wake up!” she explains. Okay, time to play it cool. I’ve never been in this position before.
I get out of my bed and head toward my bathroom. “You woke me out of a good dream. Don’t take the kiss too personal. I was out of it. I wasn’t thinking clearly,” I lie. I don’t bother to turn toward her as I’m speaking, but when I turn on the bathroom light, I swear I see Kyle’s reflection in the mirror; not mine. Damn, what was I thinking? I catch her reflection, and she looks hurt, then completely enraged.
“You’re a fucking asshole, you know that?” she screeches. “I swear, if you come near me again, I’ll rip your balls off and feed them to you, fuckface!”

Perfect partner for me is one who isn’t selfish.
I think opposites attract and make great spouses as log as they have most of the same values:). Shared via Twitter
Funny, alpha, protective, someone who will always be there for me,
The perfect spouse to me would be someone who openly gives and receives love; both communicates and listens; has a kind heart but knows when to walk away from an unhealthy situation; someone who wants to work with their partner to grow together and make life better for others as well as themselves; someone who is positive, open minded, trustworthy and is willing to open their heart and trust me, has a sense of humor and seeks knowledge and meaning in life. Someone who will be my biggest cheerleader and believe in me when I doubt myself. Someone that sees obstacles as opportunities and will work with me as a team through life’s hurdles together to come out stronger as a couple in the end.
So basically my idea of the perfect spouse is a superhuman. 😛
