Taking a risk and going after what he wants leads a man to the most pleasurable of results…
Taylor Noble decides to take a chance on pursuing Savage. Savage makes him crave but Taylor knows that anything beyond the physical would be foolish. He has too much on his plate for a relationship. But he can have a good time… After all, there’s no way Savage would want more. And Taylor certainly doesn’t either… Yet, as he gets to know Savage, Taylor finds himself questioning his plans for fun with no strings.
From their very first meeting, Savage Griffin is drawn to Taylor. There’s something Savage cannot define that’s so different when he sees, thinks or talks to Taylor. Knowing Taylor is interested gives him the opportunity to explore more about this man who has captured his attention. Savage plans to take advantage of it. Each and every moment—sexual and platonic—brings him closer to Taylor, who captures all his senses. Now it’s just a matter of convincing Taylor that what they share goes way past the physical to the emotional. Yes, emotions are messy but Savage is ready, willing and able to get Taylor to change his best laid intentions and make some new plans.

“Come on, bro. You’re just going to make arrangements to give guitar lessons.” There was a pause then. “Not like you have the hots for the man you’re about to make plans with. Oh no, this is all about teaching the kid. Hmmm… What’s the name of the man you’re supposed to talk to?”
The laughter that followed made Savage Griffin roll his eyes and wonder when he would learn to not give his friends opportunity to tease him. They were merciless. The group with him all knew who Savage was there to see—they had razzed him enough about it, too. He had no idea why he’d even let them come along.
“Fuck you.” Savage glared at his twin brother, Kasper, then flipped him the bird for good measure. He also included the other men in the gesture as he said, “Fuck all of you.”
“Now, now, no need for a potty mouth. You’ve been hanging out with Niall too much.” Roarke McBride grinned and slung his arm over the shoulder of his partner, Niall.
Niall lifted an eyebrow. “I’ll have you know that Savage has been teaching me to swear in different languages, since you won’t. It’s fascinating that all of you learned the languages of the various countries you toured in. But what I find most interesting is that there are so many ways to curse.” Niall chuckled. “As soon as Savage figures out a way to politely say I want to fuck you blind and make you call me yours, we can all go back to the house and chill. Wait, scratch that. You assholes are not invited to the house. Not after what you all did to help this one.” Niall slapped his hand on Roarke’s chest then bared his teeth at the rest of them.
Savage looked at the others then back at Niall. They all laughed at the disgruntled look on Niall’s face. His band mates and Savage had returned after their last obligations that had taken them out of Hollisville, their new permanent home. A few days ago, since Niall was at work, they had put the plan in action to make him batty.
“Hey, we were just being good friends to our buddy. He wanted to give you a surprise,” Kane, the band’s drummer said. “It was our duty to help out.”
“Yeah, he was giving you a beautiful gift.” Paul wiped an imaginary tear from his eye. “It was so touching.”
“My wife would have loved it if I had done such a selfless thing for her.” Ral sniffed then blinked, as if holding back tears. “She even said so when she was helping.”
“There was nothing we wouldn’t have done to make this come to reality.” Kasper smirked. “Yeah, you need a better security system.”
“Someone was supposed to set that up, but hasn’t.” Niall glared at Kasper.
“I’ve been busy. I’ll take care of it now that I have the time.” Kasper snickered. “Admit it. You loved the gift.”
“Of course he loved it.” Savage snorted. “He’s gonna have material to make his sculptures for weeks… Hell, months even. Maybe now we can all get one of Niall’s wonderful sculptures for our houses. Oh by the way, there are loads more of the CDs hidden around your house, as well as Roarke’s, for you to still find. Happy hunting.”
“You know you all could have just brought me boxes of the CDs of your group that I hate. You didn’t need to spread the CDs all over my house for me to find. I’ve been finding them in the most odd places. Really, in my toilet tank, plastic sealed so the CDs weren’t ruined? You guys really have too much time on your hands.” Niall rubbed his fingers over the bridge of his nose. “And I know you, Savage, were the one who somehow rigged it so every time I go near anything that can play music—or my TV—it comes on blasting that awful music. I hate all of you assholes. And I will have my revenge.”

Talia Carmichael - Blog Tour stop with LAS reviews
Creating a character’s personality takes getting to know them very intimately. I have to dig deep within them and know them as well as I know myself. To do this I think beyond what is happening during their story. I go back to what shaped them and made them who they are. I create many parts of their personality and bring it to the page. Each character I create stays with me. Each of the characters have aspects of my own personality.

Talia Carmichael - Author Spotlight for Best Laid Intentions
Why did you choose to set the Impressions series in the fictional town of Hollisville?
I just knew when I was writing the book I wanted to create a place I could build myself. So I decided to do just that. Most of my series I write are in towns I created. I love building communities and layers of a world that becomes part of the story.
