no-nonsense kind of guy. When these two opposites attract … oh baby, it’s
game on!
I’d called Aoife O’Shaughnessy a number of things, but dumb was never one of
them. Through all the trouble she’d gotten into over the years, I never once
thought she was actually stupid. Until now. Because I just heard
her plan to lose her virginity to the biggest a-hole we know.
My first thought? How the f*ck is Aoife still a virgin? The
second? Over my dead body.
So I volunteered for the job instead.
It might be the stupidest thing I’ve ever done, but once the
words were out of my mouth, I couldn’t take them back. I didn’t want to.
Suddenly, I couldn’t stop wondering what it would be like to kiss the
pink-haired sprite I’d known my whole life, to hear her moan my name when she
comes.
And I know she’s wondering about me too.
It was only supposed to be sex, but now I’m in deep. I never meant to fall in
love with Aoife; this wasn’t supposed to happen. And what came next? Well,
neither of us planned on that.
like your chances against the Mariners?” Aoife asked, the bed springs creaking
under the weight of her climbing under the covers.
to say,” I answered, sneaking past the lads to head to my room. Shutting the
door as quietly as possible, I dropped down onto my bed. “Liam’s rotator cuff
isn’t getting better with physio so Coach McCarthy is going to bench him until
he goes under the knife. That means Paddy’s going to start. Poor kid is scared
shitless.”
that was you not too long ago.”
unlike me, Paddy doesn’t have a huge ego.”
you’re not so bad.”
promise you I am. I’ve just kept it hidden from you all this time.”
think of it, you have always been full of yourself,” she joked easily.
for you to be full of me.” When Aoife sucked in a startled breath, I realized
I’d said that out loud. Shit.
“Sorry,” I apologized automatically.
not,” she answered, her voice coming through the line sounding like a long,
slow drink of good whiskey.
agreed, “I’m not.”
trying not to push her too hard, but she knew exactly how badly I wanted her.
After coming in my pants when she’d given herself an epic, toe-curling orgasm
by humping my lap, I’d learned my lesson. Now, whenever I’d be seeing Aoife, I
beat off beforehand.

asked, my gut clenching with nervous anticipation.

manger! I screamed
in my head as I fought to keep my outward reaction steady. “Are you sure?”
answered, her voice growing bold. “I want you inside of me.”

dick. I couldn’t remember if I’d locked my door on the way in, but it was too
late to check. There was no way I was going to ask her to hold that thought
while I made sure. If one of the lads walked in while I had my fist wrapped
around my cock, that’d teach them to knock the next goddamned time.

I’m touching myself. You just told me I get to fuck you soon. It’s a miracle I
didn’t come the second you said it.”

said when she didn’t respond, drawing out her name on an upward stroke. “Please
tell me your fingers are playing with your pretty little cunt.”
touching myself,” she answered on a light moan. “I can’t stop touching myself.”
baby,” I agreed, picking up my pace. I trapped the phone between my ear and
shoulder and reached down with my other hand to cup my balls and roll them in
my hand. “I want you so bad,” I groaned, no shame in my confession.
she answered on a shudder. “I can’t wait Eoin.”
to make it so good for you, I promise. But before I fuck you with my cock, I’m
going to make you come on my mouth. Are you picturing it Aoife—my lips on your
clit, my tongue fucking your sweet little pussy?”
gasps echoed on the other end of the line. “Yes,” was all she managed to say
between pants. “Yes, please.”
baby, fuck your pretty pussy with your fingers and pretend they’re mine.”
getting close, but I wanted Aoife to come first. I always wanted her pleasure
to come before mine.
Eoin, I’m coming!” she cried, her orgasm rolling through her. “Fuck, fuck,
fuck,” she chanted.
pleasure was my undoing. My balls constricted and my whole body shuddered just
before something like an electric current shot down my spine and I came so hard
that I saw stars.
fucking stars. When I came back down from the greatest high I’d ever felt, I
heard Aoife laughing into the phone.

It’s never …”

because it had been like that for me too.

I answered honestly.
you’re just saying that.”
you I’m not. That was … shit. Fucking epic, Aoife.”

I asked, wiping my hand on a towel from my earlier shower.

about it for a second. I’d never called a girl I was with anything but her name
and I had no idea where it had come from. It had just slipped out, kind of how
Aoife had just snuck up on me. Even though the endearment wasn’t something I’d
consciously decided to use, I found myself smiling. “I like that you like it.”
Colleen’s calling me to come downstairs,” she suddenly whispered. “I have to
go.”

she said, blowing me a loud kiss just before hanging up.
myself in the mirror for a few moments, pondered the wide grin and happy eyes
that stared back. Shit. I didn’t know how it had happened or why, but I was
definitely falling for this girl.
“Ruck Me” is Rebecca Norinne’s second book in the Dublin Rugby series, and is Aoife and Eoin’s story.
We already met Aoife in “Trying Sophie”, the book about Declan, her ex- womanizer big and scary brother (and believe me you might want to read his story!!)
It isn’t easy to be Declan’s little sister, he’s the captain of the rugby team captain and the one who has a “little chat” with any new player about some unscripted rules that put off-limits sisters and ex-girlfriends for the players.
This doesn’t stop Eoin, especially once he finds out what Aoife is going to do: she is going to have for her first time with a guy about whom Eoin knows too much, and bad things.
Some rules are meant to be broken, and after a first “no” from Aoife who is afraid to ruin their friendship, the things between them turn really hot.
When Eoin offers himself as a volunteer to be Aoife’s first lover, it’s as if suddenly a light bulb lit everything up, allowing them to see things under a different light, changing completely their relationship.
Their bond is really special, I loved reading their story, how they get tease each other, they study, but mostly to see how they care for each other and Eoin has his little bit confidence in himself, knowing his body has its impact on women, which makes him so sexy, like a little tempting devil. He knows how to play his cards to convince Aoife to surrender to his proposal.
At first they must make a lot of subterfuges to prevent Declan from knowing their story, but the depth of Eoin’s feelings lead him to want to so much more, without fear of any repercussions or physical confrontation with his captain.
Eoin is an amazing character, I really loved him because of his ability to play totally uncover and shows his feelings, even though Aoife occasionally has the involuntary ability to hurt him for that.
Sometimes she made me angry for her uncertainties and some of her choices, even if she has the best intentions, she just ended up to mess with their relationship, but thinking at the end of the book I realize they are so young and it couldn’t be otherwise.
In this case, I must say, “Holy Declan right away”, with his own way set things straight , he has been able to stop a chain of mistakes that was becoming problematic.
I really love this series, I love world of the rugby, is a wonderful sport with a history and its unquestionable charm, especially for us women and through these books you can see things in a light somewhat different.
These guys, their bond and how they live is certainly one of the strengths of these novels, but I also love how this author writes, as she sees the romance with her couples: with a healthy dose of passion and physicality, but also deep feelings that bind them.
Only two more words: Aidan and Tanya … this book reveals something more about their mysterious relationship, their story broke my heart, and I can’t wait to read more about them too.
What can I say more? Remember two things: Rebecca Norinne and Dublin Rugby series, this books deserve to be read!

Lei si lancia nelle cose senza pensarci troppo, lui è un ragazzo pratico. Quando gli opposti si attraggono… ragazzi, la partita ha inizio!
Avrei potuto chiamare Aoife O’Shaughnessy in tanti modi, ma stupida non è mai stato uno di essi. Nonostante tutti i guai che aveva passato con il trascorrere degli anni, non avevo mai pensato che fosse in effetti stupida. Fino ad ora. Perché avevo appena sentito che aveva in mente di perdere la sua verginità con il più grande testa di… che conosciamo.
Il mio primo pensiero? Come c…o è possibile che Aoife sia ancora vergine? Il secondo? Sopra il mio cadavere.
Così mi sono offerto come volontario per il compito.
Poteva essere la cosa più stupida che avessi mai fatto, ma una volta che mi erano uscite le parole di bocca, non potevo rimangiarmele. Non volevo farlo. All’improvviso, non riuscivo a smettere di immaginarmi come sarebbe stato baciare quel folletto dai capelli rosa che conoscevo da tutta la vita, sentirla gemere il mio nome mentre veniva.
E sapevo che si stava chiedendo le stesse cose di me.
Doveva essere solo sesso, ma adesso sono totalmente coinvolto. Non avevo intenzione di innamorarmi di Aoife; non sarebbe dovuto accadere. E cosa sarebbe successo dopo? Beh, nessuno di noi ci aveva pensato.
“Ruck Me” è il secondo libro della serie Dublin Rugby di Rebecca Norinne ed è la storia di Aoife ed Eoin.
Aoife l’avevamo già incontrata in “Trying Sophie”, il libro dedicato a Declan, il suo fratellone tosto, intimidatorio ed ex-sciupafemmine (e credetemi la sua storia è tutta da leggere!).
Non è facile essere la sorellina di Declan: è il capitano della squadra di rugby e, con ogni nuovo arrivato, fa una bella “chiacchierata” su alcune regole non scritte, che mettono l’insegna “off-limits” su sorelle ed ex fidanzate dei giocatori.
Questo però non ferma Eoin, soprattutto dopo aver scoperto quello che sta per combinare Aoife, visto che si è messa in testa di andare a letto, per la sua prima volta, con un ragazzo di cui Eoin sa fin troppo, e si tratta di trascorsi poco raccomandabili.
Alcune regole esistenti sono destinate a essere infrante e, dopo un primo momento di resistenza da parte di Aoife, che ha paura di rovinare la sua amicizia con Eoin, le cose tra i due si fanno davvero molto calde.
Nel fatidico momento in cui Eoin si è offerto come volontario per tuffarsi nel letto di Aoife, per fare con lei due salti e capriole, è come se tra di loro si fosse accesa all’improvviso una lampadina, che permette loro di vedere tutto sotto una luce diversa, e che cambia totalmente la loro relazione.
Il loro legame è veramente speciale, ho adorato leggere la loro storia, il modo in cui si stuzzicano, si studiano, ma soprattutto ho amato vedere quanto tengano l’uno all’altra; poi Eoin ha quel pizzico di confidenza in se stesso che lo rende tremendamente sexy, perché sa il tipo di impatto che può avere il suo fisico sulle donne, se messo in mostra. È un piccolo diavoletto tentatore e sa come giocare le sue carte per convincere Aoife a cedere alla sua proposta.
All’inizio devono escogitare un mare di sotterfugi per evitare che Declan venga a sapere della loro storia, ma la profondità dei sentimenti che Eoin prova lo porta a volere di più, senza temere eventuali ripercussioni o un vero e proprio scontro fisico con il suo capitano.
Eoin è un personaggio straordinario, mi è piaciuto tantissimo proprio per questa sua capacità di mettersi in gioco totalmente e di dimostrare quello che prova, nonostante questo lo renda vulnerabile nei confronti di Aoife, che ogni tanto ha l’involontaria capacità di ferirlo per questo.
A volte lei mi ha fatto davvero arrabbiare per le sue incertezze e per alcune sue scelte, nonostante fossero fatte con le migliori intenzioni, scelte che però hanno poi solo finito per incasinare il loro rapporto; ripensandoci dopo, “a pagine ferme”, mi sono tuttavia accorta che, in realtà, sono davvero soltanto molto giovani i due protagonisti e non poteva essere altrimenti.
In questo caso però devo dire: “Declan santo subito”, perché, intervenendo a suo modo, ha saputo dare lo stop a una catena di errori che stava diventando insormontabile.
Mi piace tantissimo questa serie, adoro il mondo in cui è ambientata, il rugby è uno sport meraviglioso, con una storia e un suo fascino indiscutibile, soprattutto per noi donne ;). Attraverso questi libri si possono vedere le cose anche sotto una luce un po’ diversa e capire che non è tutto oro quello che luccica.
Il gruppo di questi ragazzi, la loro amicizia e il loro stile di vita è senz’altro uno dei punti di forza di questi romanzi, ma amo anche il modo di scrivere di questa autrice, come vede lei il romance tra le sue coppie: con una sana dose di passione e fisicità, ma anche con sentimenti profondi che li legano.
Solo altre due parole: Aidan e Tanya… in questo libro si scopre qualcosa di più sul misterioso rapporto che lega questi due personaggi, e quello che è successo loro mi ha spezzato il cuore, ma non vedo l’ora di poter leggere di più in futuro.
Cosa posso dire di più? Ricordatevi solo due cose: Rebecca Norinne e Dublin Rugby series sono un binomio che merita di essere letto!
