Love Storm Read Online Free PDF

not eighteen anymore Brooke.   You are a beautiful, confident woman now, and
Ryan Landry would be darn lucky to have you.   So if you still want him, I say go for it.   Go get him.”
    “Jules-”
    Come on, now that you and Mr. No-Sex-Before-Marriage aren’t
together anymore, don’t you think it’s about time you started living a little,
you know, take a few risks.   Get out
there and have a little fun for pete’s sake.”
    “Oh no, please don’t start,” Brooklyn groaned, knowing
exactly where the conversation was headed if she let it, to the fact that she
was twenty-two years old and still a virgin.
    “Hey, I’m just saying.”
    “I know, I know.   Give
me a break already, would you.”   When
she’d started dating Kevin Robertson during her sophomore year of college she’d
known that he was devoted to his Mormon faith, but what she hadn’t realized at
the time was just how strongly opposed he was to pre-marital sex, and that he
had absolutely no intention of deviating from his long-held beliefs, no matter
how long they dated.   Just over two years to be precise.   Finally, just a few weeks before they’d
graduated, their relationship had come to the point where they either needed to
move forward and get engaged, or go their separate ways.   Though a part of her would always love Kevin,
for he was one of the sweetest guys she’d ever met, she just hadn’t been ready
to take that next step with him.   Fortunately however, they had managed to part as friends.
    “Fine, I’ll stop,” Julia said with a huff.
    “Thank you!”   Although
she had absolutely no intention of following her friend’s advice, talking to
Julia had been entertaining, if
nothing else.

 
 
    When Brooklyn made her way back downstairs several minutes
later, she found Ryan comfortably seated on the reclining leather sofa in the
large family room, the television remote in his right hand pointed at the sixty
inch plasma mounted within the room’s massive entertainment center.   “Anything good on?” she asked.
    “Nah, I think the storm is messing with the satellite
reception,” he said turning toward her.
    “Well if you’re looking for something to watch, Wade’s got a
ton of movies in there,” she said, pointing toward one of the tall cabinets
that flanked the entertainment center.
    “I’m up for a movie,” he said with a nod.   “How about you?”
    “Sure.”
    “Tell you what, I’ll even let you pick.”
    “Okay.   Comedy, or action-adventure?” she asked, as she walked toward
the movie cabinet and opened one of the narrow doors.  
    “Surprise me.”
    She quickly decided on comedy, and after a quick perusal of
the available choices, she grabbed one of her brother-in-law’s all-time
favorites.   Slipping it into the DVD
player, she turned around and walked to the sofa, taking the seat on the
opposite end from where Ryan sat.   Grabbing the plush throw that was draped over the back of the couch, she
reclined her seat and then tossed the blanket over her legs as Ryan began
pushing buttons on the enormous remote control.
    “Okay, let’s see how you did,” he said teasingly, as he
reached over to the end table and switched off the lamp.  
    As the theme music to Caddyshack began, and the opening
scene showing the automatic sprinklers spraying the lush green fairways of
Bushwood Country Club’s sprawling golf course began to roll, Brooklyn cast a
tentative sidelong glance toward Ryan.  
    Ryan turned toward her, smiling widely in approval.   “You’ve gotta love the classics.”
    She couldn’t help grinning in return.   “I’m glad you approve.”
    As they settled in to watch Chevy Chase and Bill Murray do
their thing, the atmosphere between her and Ryan was surprisingly relaxed.   They didn’t talk much, other than commenting
on the movie once in a while, and the nervous tension Brooklyn had been feeling
since her arrival at the cabin had just about faded away completely.  
    By the end of
