#1 in The Luminara Series.

An emotional erotic heart-wrenching story of lust, love and light.
File U for upside down. Lexi Robertson’s carefully constructed life is about to be turned upside down.Recently hired as Club di Energia’s physiotherapist, the stunning yet insecure twenty-six year old finally thinks she has a handle on her physically and mentally damaging past. The only way Lexi can cope is by compartmentalizing her feelings with a unique, internal filing system. To maintain order, Lexi has a firm set of boundaries in place, and she never lets anyone too close.
File N for not happening. Lexi has no intention of giving in to the charming Lucca Caruso when he comes into her clinic for an emergency physiotherapy session. Despite his painstakingly handsome face and Italian that renders her speechless, Lexi is able to resist.
A Tuscany vacation with her best friend is just what Lexi needs to stop worrying about life and start enjoying it. A cooking course at a villa near the Chianti hills, just outside of Florence, will take her mind off a certain set of mesmerising azure blue eyes.
File F for fate. Lexi never expected to see the Italian god again, but they’re staying at the same villa.
For someone that purposely refuses to feel, Lexi finds herself on a journey of self-discovery, helplessly folding, melting, and crumbling under the temptation of her heart’s desire.
An emotional, erotic, heart-wrenching story of lust, love, and light.
Lexi struggles to confide in Lucca, slowly learning how to love and trust. Lucca is a gentle, patient lover with a heart of gold, but his need for Lexi is insatiable. He’s the man we all want and can’t get enough of.
Through the passion of lust and the sweetness of love, Lexi spreads her wings towards the light … until her past comes back to haunt her.
A hot and sexy story of survival, acceptance, learning to trust, and believing. One woman’s destiny to find her light, and the one man who can take here there.

Free for a Limited Time

Kimberly Knight has just moved from the Bay Area in California to the mountains near a lake with her loving husband and spoiled cat, Precious. In her spare time, she enjoys watching her favorite reality TV shows, playing co-ed slow pitch softball in a few local leagues,rooting for her SF Giants and San Jose Sharks and playing computer games like World of Warcraft with Audrey Harte and online poker. Now that she is near a lake, she plans on working on her tan and doing more outdoor stuff like…watching hot guys ski. However, the bulk of her time is dedicated to writing and reading Romance and Erotic fiction.

In the final book of the Take My Series, Emily and Dexter are finally on course to a happy future. Arriving back in the UK with Aunt Sarah in tow, everything seems to be slotting into place. For the first time in his life, Dexter has found his purpose. Surrounded by family, friends and the woman he adores, he has at long last made peace with his demons and is determined to fight for the life he now knows he deserves.

With best friend Rachel back by her side and a resolve to work things out with her parents once and for all, Emily’s life is also on the right track. Or so she thinks… When a tragic revelation threatens to destroy Emily’s world, it sends her spiraling down a path leading to more secrets, lies and heartache – leaving her questioning her whole life and everyone in it. To top it off, Emily almost lost one of the most important men in her life once before, is it about to happen again? “This is it, doll. Our future. I need you to hold on to it and never let go.”

“I don’t have time for this, Dad,” I muttered on a heavy sigh.

“Please, son. Don’t go, not yet. Let’s have another coffee, then if you still feel the same, we’ll go back to how things were. Apart.”

“No, I don’t mean right now. I mean I really haven’t got time to keep hating you. There are so many things wrong with what you’ve just told me, there are three thousand reasons why I should walk out of here and never look back, and I genuinely don’t know how you can ever make this right with Emmie. But… I won’t be here in twelve months time, Dad. I can’t spend those months fighting with you – reasoning with you… struggling to understand what you did.

“In order for me to have any hope of enjoying these next few months of life, I can’t afford to dwell on the past. I don’t understand the decisions you’ve made in your life, Dad, but I accept them, and… I forgive you.”

I noticed tears bubbling up in the corners of my dad’s eyes and I had to force myself to look away before mine started falling too. It took all my strength not to be mad at him. Why couldn’t he have done this years ago? Back when I really needed him.

“And they’re sure? The doctors?” he asked with a slight tremor in his voice. Why does everyone ask that? It seems like doctors are classed as superheroes until they tell you something bad.

“Positive. I had my first chemo session a couple of weeks ago. I have another in two days. That should slow it down… but only by a few months and nothing’s guaranteed.”

“Months?” he repeated – barely a whisper. I noticed my dad look down at his mug and I suspected it was to hide his suddenly damp eyelashes. “Christopher…” he breathed, refusing to look at me. “I don’t want to lose you too.”

What the hell was I supposed to say to that? ‘Oh okay then, Dad. I’ll stay alive just for you.’ I knew my anger was unjustified and so I swallowed it down with a sip of coffee.

“I don’t want it either,” I admitted.

“I’m so sorry, son. I’ve missed out on so much. I don’t deserve to be a father.”

“Whoa,” I said, straightening my back in my chair. “Don’t you start the feeling sorry for yourself bullshit. Whether you deserve to be or not, you are a father. So if your next line was going to be that you’d be better off leaving Emmie to get on with her life without you, don’t you dare. Don’t you fucking dare. You’ve let us both down, Dad. It might be too late to make it up to me but you better spend every single day of the rest of your life making it up to Emily.”

“I will. I swear I will.”

I planned to just sit around until I felt composed enough to face the world again, but with every blink visions of beautiful white lines and glasses of clear liquid numbness overwhelmed my mind. So, I did the only thing that ever manages to stop me from thinking – I changed into my sweats, headed outside and ran.

I didn’t have a destination in mind. In fact, I didn’t even recognize half the streets I flew through. I just ran. I ran until my thighs began to burn and my chest started to ache. I ran until all I could focus on was my rapid breathing and my numb toes. I ran until I couldn’t remember why I was even running.

Then my cell chimed in my pocket, dragging me back to reality.

“Hey, doll,” I answered breathlessly after seeing Emily’s name illuminate the screen.

“Where are you? Chris said you came home.”

“Where are you?” I returned quizzically.

“At home. Waiting for you.”

“I just came out for a run. I’ll make my way back now.”

“Are you okay?” she asked instead of saying goodbye. Of course, Emily is the only person that can read me like a fucking book.

“Not really,” I admitted. The truth – that’s the only way our future together would survive. “We’ll talk when I get home. Ten minutes max.”

“Ok. Don’t ever forget that I love you.” Hearing those words, my heart vibrated in my chest – reminding me why I was alive. I remember the very first time I said those words to her, and no matter how hard I pushed, she never forgot.

And neither will I.

“Ditto,” I replied, emotion clogging my throat and making coherent words impossible.

After tucking my cell back in my pocket, I doubled over and braced my hands on my knees while I dragged in a few much needed breaths. Then, straightening up, I stretched my neck from side to side and set off back to break my girls heart.

WARNING shares in Kleenex needed. And I’ve devoured at least two tubs of Ben and Jerrys whilst reading this amazing finale to the Take My Hand series.

What a climax it has been and the perfect ending to a series I have been divested in for a few good long months. Nicola has pulled it out of the bag in Never Let Go and all loose ends are tidied, put away and filed neatly leaving you with an full heart and empty eyes!

The romance between Emily and Dex has blossomed and is finally on the right track only to be blown apart by Chris’s announcement. Dex finally grows and develops into the man we all knew he could be and steps in to be the pillar that Emily needs. Life isn’t easy and although their story finally heads in the right direction you still feel every battle Dex has to stay clean and be the man Emily needs. It’s real and heart wrenching but it really endears him to me more for showing his vulnerabilities.

Rachel and Jared find their way in life and bring to the story the humour we have grown to love from the pair. Impending parenthood for the couple brings with it a whole bunch of Jared-isms that at times had me in utter stitches! I love Jared and Rachel!

This brings us to Chris, Emily’s brother and only close family member. Tragically he is ill and it is inevitable from the outset he won’t make it. This adds a huge dimension to the final installment of this series and brings with it some pretty huge secrets and revelations. You will have to read it to find out what Nicola throws at you but be aware there are a few twists to come!

 And finally let’s not forget Aunt Sarah, bless her, Dex’s rock and the apple of his eye. She finally gets to see him grow up and also finds happiness herself.   She has been such an important rock for him it really warmed me to think she was well looked after by Nicola too!

This was truly a great ending to a great series and even though Chris was never destined to make it, even his end was truly dignified. I’ve laughed, I’ve cried and I’ve finished feeling totally satisfied too! I miss these guys….

 Well done Nicola and a massive 5 out of 5 AWESOME stars!

Nicola lives in Rochdale, England with her husband and four children (six if you include the dogs!) She is the author of New Adult/Contemporary romance novels Inevitable, Saving Amy and the Take My Hand series. When she is not busy playing with her imaginary book friends (or talking about them with real life friends!) she can usually be found carrying out her ordinary mum/housewife/all round slave duties. Oh, and if the kids ever ask, she moonlights as the Pink Power Ranger while they’re sleeping…

The awesome Nicola Haken took some time out of her busy schedule of surfing Jake Bass and the rest of the CockyBoys to give us an exclusive interview! Meet Nicola Haken!

Congratulations! You’ve been published for a year now and have six amazing books under your belt – did you ever think you’d have come so far in such a short time?

I really truly didn’t! I remember squealing so loud someone in New York closed their windows the first time I made a sale that wasn’t my friend or family haha! I didn’t expect it to be so much fun either. I’ve met so many amazing people (like you!). But I also have to say, being an author has turned me into such a dirty hussy 😉

Just released, Never Let Go is the final installment in the Take My Hand series. Did you cry as much writing it as I did when I read it?

 I actually did cry writing that one and it was the first time my own words have made me so emotional! When I’m writing I often close my eyes and ‘be’ the character, playing the story out like a movie in my head. Being Dexter, Emily and Chris, and ‘feeling’ what they were going through was extremely raw!

It really was the perfect end to the series and even though my heart broke I forgive you! Can I just ask though, why Curry flavoured pot noodle?

I have no idea. I don’t even like Pot Noodles!! I’m assuming it was because Rachel came across as a typical student. And students are too lazy to make anything else right? *hides from all the students of the world*

And of all the places in the world Dex and Emily could go skinny-dipping, why Blackpool?

Well skinning dipping on Brighton beach was on Emily’s New Life list that was devised by Rachel. They didn’t make it back to Brighton once Emily and Dexter moved in with Chris so Blackpool was the closest. But I feel the responsible thing to do here would be to warn people that I would NEVER advise getting naked in Blackpool sea. It’s filthy! *hides from all the Blackpool folk* Do you think I might be pissing a lot of people off with these answers? 😉

I also have a slight crush on Jared too! He and Rachel seem really well paired and without spoiling it for others, there are a couple of name choices relating to them that I found familiar! On that note, have any other books you’ve read influenced your work or for you to write?

I honestly don’t know which names you mean! (Rachel’s babies..?) Either I haven’t read the books you’re referring to or I’ve forgot… the latter seems more likely! I get a LOT of inspiration from other books. Not the storylines before I land myself in court haha! But the way characters interact with other gets my own mind spinning and then ideas and stories stem from there.

 Did you cringe the first time you wrote a sex scene?

Oh God yes! And it took me sooooo long and about fifty rewrites! I literally squirmed in my seat writing it and the idea that anyone might read it absolutely mortified me! But like I said earlier, being an author has done terrible things to my mind. Each scene got easier and now I can reel of a completely filthy, make your eyes water, make you so hot you need a Tena Lady, scene in a matter of minutes 😉

I know that you have a new book in the pipeline that I cannot wait to read! What made you decide to change genres and write about Sawyer?

 We talked about books that influenced me before and that’s the reason. I started writing New Adult mainly because I used to love reading it, and also because I wasn’t brave enough to go for anything too racy! But then I started reading m/m and I became instantly addicted. Reading about two men together just sent me crazy! It was so hot, sensual and unlike anything I’d ever read before. So I thought, hell I need to give that a whirl. Of course, now I am addicted to gay porn too. Oh, and I also cry myself to sleep at night because I want a cock of my very own and I’ll never have one L Thankfully, my husband has always known I’m a little (okay, a LOT) crazy so I’ve no worries there!

Ok so in for the kill, some quick fire questions for you to answer now!

Favourite:

… book you’ve written? Being Sawyer Knight

… book boyfriend from your own books? Sawyer Knight (do you see where this is going?) Very closely followed by Dexter!

…book boyfriend from another author? Questions like that should be illegal!! Okay, I’m not counting Christian Grey and Edward Cullen because no one can compete with them and it’s not fair, so apart from them…. Austin Grainger from Texas Pride by Kindle Alexander.

… genre to read? M/M

… author? Kindle Alexander

 … position in bed? Lay down with CockyBoys playing on the laptop and my hand under the quilt 😉

 … flavour of condom? I prefer au naturel 😉

 … CockyBoy? JAKE BASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

… bodypart? My huge coc- oh wait. I don’t have one. Damn.

And finally a few questions I bet you’ve never been asked by a blogger?!

 What size is your bed? Super king sized

 Is it ok for men to wear pink? Yes! I love men in pink!

 Do you like to use post-it notes? (I can think of a good use for one!) Like, to hide the willy’s on my CockyBoys calendar from the kids?? 🙂

 What do you dip a chicken nugget in? Tomato sauce

 Would you ever strip or pose nude in a magazine? I totally would…. However I’m not sure it’s something people would actually want to see!

 Ok let me rephrase that would you ever strip or pose naked in a magazine if Jake Bass was with you? I’d do a helluva lot more than just strip 😉

 Do you sing in the shower? Always!

 Do you take a vitamin daily? No. Not unless there are vitamins in chocolate.

 Can you hold your breath without holding your nose? Can’t everyone???!

 You so tried that last one didn’t you?! Yes I so did! Only because I didn’t understand how anyone couldn’t haha!

My Review

5 Star review of Where I Need to Be by Kimberly Knight

Right, after finishing this I am off to join the gym! If the thought of meeting Brandon is the incentive anyway! Holy hotness!

In this steamy debut novel by Kimberly Knight we meet Spencer, a recently heartbroken an assistant to an Ad exec who recently discovered “The love of her life”  – TravAss (love that nickname!) in a compromising position with his secretary!

And in an attempt to lure her away from the ice-cream depression she’s landed in her BFF, partner in crime and voice of reason Ryan convinces her to the gym (which is more for business than pleasure to begin with)… and from there her life takes off!

In walks Brandon, the hot new love interest and from almost the moment we are thrown in to the story he becomes an object of her desire.   Without giving too much away he is more of a permanent fixture at the gym and jeez, if Club 24 was just round the corner to me I’d be signing up to join ASAP!

And, even though I live in the UK I’m definitely heading to Las Vegas!  A girly weekend away turns what should be a pretty innocent girls dance session and a coincidental meeting in a nightclub into the steamiest dance scene I have ever read… I will say no more but phew that was one hot scene!

I love the chemistry between Brandon and Spencer and also her relationship with her friend Ryan.  The story also kept me on my toes too with the emergence of other characters that are hell bent on making life difficult for Brandon and Spencer.  I really want to say more but don’t want to say too much more for fear of spoiling the story! I read this book in one sitting and my heart was totally in my throat at the end.  It ends leaving you wanting and needing more!

I cannot wait for book two (Wanted) and to see where the future will take Brandon and Spencer!

Five sizzling stars!

Brandon drove me down to the police station for the formal interview that afternoon. The investigating officer told me that Christy was still pretty beaten up from the fall and subsequent surgery she had to endure from the stab wound. Apparently, she had punctured her liver and would be in the hospital for at least a few more days –– enough time for the police to get all their ducks in a row. I really didn’t want to rehash the incident, but I knew it had to be done. After an hour and a half of me recounting the events, Brandon and I made our way to Macy’s at Union Square to get my mind off everything.

“Okay, all I really need is another nice dress so I don’t keep wearing the same one over and over again,” I said to Brandon as we rode the escalator up to the Women’s department.

“Whatever you want, Babe.” 

“Are you sure you want to do this? Most guys seem to hate shopping.”

“Oh I do, but I want to be with you, so I don’t mind.”

“Alright, well I don’t want to hear any whining,” I said as I stuck out my tongue at him.

“And what if I do?” Brandon asked, smirking at me.

“Then… then… shit, I don’t know. Don’t give me that look, it drives me crazy and I can’t think straight.”

“Drives you crazy good or drives you crazy bad?”

“Good,” I said as I blushed and tried to swat Brandon’s arm, but he caught my wrist midair and pulled me to him for a quick kiss.

As we browsed around Macy’s, I decided that I should be looking specifically for a dress for my company holiday party, as it was the next big event that I needed to attend. 

I picked out a few dresses and told Brandon that I was going to try them on in the dressing room. The first dress I tried on was a metallic champagne A-line dress. Brandon said he liked it, but I wasn’t feeling it. Next, I tried on a sleeveless dress made with sequined Graphite Grey satin; Brandon liked it as well, but it just wasn’t calling my name.

Finally, I tried on the last dress. It was strapless and made of ivory lace in the pattern of roses with a few ruffles down the front starting at the waist. It was accented with a removable cream-colored belt. I think this is the one. I stepped out to show Brandon. As soon as his face lit up, I knew I had found the one.  

“You like?” I asked as I did a little twirl so he could see the back.

“Yes, I like—a lot!” Brandon stood up and walked over to me. 

“Yeah, I think this is it.”

“I need further convincing.”

“What?”

He grabbed my hand to lead me back into the dressing room and locked the door behind him.

“What are you doing?” I whispered.

Without answering, he spun me around and pushed me up against the fitting room mirror. My hands slammed into the mirror to brace myself as I felt Brandon’s hard erection against my ass. He moved my hair the side and kissed the side of my neck all the way down to the top of my shoulder, making the little hairs on the back of my neck stand at attention.

“Babe, we’re in a public dressing room,” I panted in a whisper.

“Shh,” he said as he continued to kiss my neck and shoulder. His hand reached around my side as he slowly slid the dress up my thigh inch by inch. 

“Babe…” I said in warning.

“Shh.”

His hand glided up my bare thigh and my breath caught when I felt his hand slowly slide into my panties. “Oh God,” I quietly groaned.

Brandon bit lightly on my right earlobe as he started teasing my clit with one of his fingers. I steadied myself with one arm on the mirror, resting my head on his chest as I reached up and grazed my other hand through his soft hair on the back of his neck. His finger slid through my slick wetness before sinking into me as I lifted my leg onto the bench, wanting more. I couldn’t help it ––Brandon brought out the exhibitionist in me. His touch was all I needed to forget everything around me. 

“I can’t keep my hands off of you when you wear a dress,” he whispered in my ear, causing my body to shiver as his breath touched my skin.

“Uh huh,” I mumbled. Not only could I barely talk because of the intense pleasure running through my body, but we were in a public dressing room in the middle of the day. I was both terrified and aroused by the thought that we could be caught at any second.

He continued creating circles around my aching clit with one finger as another of his fingers moved rhythmically inside my pussy over and over.  His hard cock was still pressed into my ass. Lifting my head from his chest and moving forward a step, I slid my hand from the back of his neck. Then I reached down behind me and rubbed his erection through his jeans.

“Don’t start something you can’t finish,” he said, whispering in my ear again.

Ha, talk about calling the kettle black! I continued to stroke him as he brought my body closer to its release. I planned to finish him––I needed to finish him. He reached around and slipped his hand into the top of the dress, his fingers easily sliding beneath the silky material of my bra. He began to caress my right breast and roll the already hardened nipple between his fingers, sending my body into overdrive. I came around his finger, my belly clenching as the climax shot through me.

We stood there like that for a moment while I caught my breath, then Brandon slowly removed his hand from my panties. We heard the door next to us close as someone entered the dressing stall. I couldn’t believe what we had just done together in a public dressing room.  It was exhilarating and slightly dangerous and I felt wonderfully alive, but we weren’t quite done.  I turned around and began to undo his belt.

He caught my hands in his for a moment and raised an eyebrow at me as he nodded his head in the direction of the stall next to us. I grinned wickedly and held a finger to my lips, then made quick work of his belt and unbuttoned his jeans. Sliding the zipper down enough to reach inside, I grabbed his length, causing it to twitch in response. Brandon sat on the bench, his erection growing bigger as I ran my hand up and down around it, milking him.

I saw a drop of his pre-cum glisten, reflecting the fluorescent lights above. I bent down on my knees and lowered my head as I licked the tip, tasting his salty goodness. We heard the lady leave the stall next to us and I almost giggled in relief.  He sucked in a sharp breath when my wet tongue swirled around the head. He grabbed the back of my ponytail and guided my head as I bobbed up and down, sucking him over and over. I took him deeper and deeper into my throat until his body tightened and then convulsed slightly as he spurted hot cum down the back of my throat. He grunted slightly with his teeth gritted as he came, his eyes closed as he fought against groaning in pleasure.

 “Well… guess I’m buying this dress,” I said, laughing as I stood up.

My Review

5 Star review of Wanted by Kimberly Knight

This installment in the B&S Series follows on directly from the end of Where I Need To Be and continues the journey of Brandon and Spencer.

I went into the book hoping that love will finally run smooth for the pair and you do get to see a lot more of their cute couple status in this installment!

After the drama at the end of Where I need to Be life slips into a routine for both Brandon and Spencer and with a whirlwind of planning Ryan’s wedding to Max and Brandon expanding his gym business you begin to feel a sense of things hopefully falling into place for the couple.

I really fell for Brandon again with his uber sweetness and also some amazingly hot and funny scenes too! During the course of this book and again we meet his family plus the “errant” brother, Blake, too.  I loved his family in the first nook but meeting them again made you feel like you get to know him a little better too!

However, as you would expect from any good story the course of true love NEVER runs smoothly and without giving too much away, we readers are once again thrown from the happy trail into some more nail – biting tension.

I again devoured this book in one sitting and enjoyed it because it develops the characters from Where I Need to Be but also ends leaving you with a cliffhanger of sorts when everything seems to be falling back into place for the relatively unlucky in love couple!  Just who is at the door now?!

I was lucky enough to have read this installment just before the third book in the trilogy came out and so didn’t have too long to wait for the answer!

This installment works well to develop the characters in the series and perhaps cold have been worked into the first book like some have suggested but I sometimes prefer a break in the story and cannot criticize the books releasing as a trilogy! You do also need to have read Book one Where I Need to Be to fully appreciate this book!

Five steamy stars!

Synopsis

After walking in on her cheating boyfriend, fate led Spencer Marshall to the love of her life, Brandon Montgomery. Now, she has a wedding to plan. With hope that the demons from their pasts will finally leave them alone, Brandon and Spencer look forward to growing old together.

Just as things are finally looking up, an unexpected houseguest arrives and stays much longer than expected. Will their love be strong enough to overcome the bad influences of their new roommate and the emotional aftermath of dealing with the trial? And when an unforeseen tragedy strikes, can Spencer finally have the happy ending she deserves?

 Excerpts

After a few minutes, I realized that I was still alone in the shower. Brandon hadn’t returned from seeing who was at the door and that made me nervous. I quickly rinsed the soap from my body and started to turn off the water when the shower door opened and Brandon slipped in. His hard chiseled body stepped close to me as we both stood under the warm stream of water––something we did almost every night.

“Hey, what took you so long?” I asked, slipping my arms around his neck.
“Blake’s here.”
“Really?”
“Yep.” Brandon’s hands glided down my back to rest on my ass as he gave it a little tug to bring me closer to him.
“Did you know he was coming?”
“Nope, he said he needed to get away and used the plane ticket we gave him for Christmas.”
“Couldn’t he have asked? I mean, this is an important night,” I pouted as Brandon’s cock grew against my belly. I chuckled slightly. Here we were again, talking about his brother at the wrong time.
“Babe, you know how Blake is. He doesn’t always use his head,” he said, tilting his head down to place a soft kiss on my neck.
“I know,” I said, sighing. “Can he maybe get a hotel room for the night?” Of all the nights Blake could have come to visit us, it had to be tonight…the night when I wanted to wear nothing but my new ring and a smile.
“I guess, but we haven’t seen him in, what? Five months?”
“I know––you’re right. I just wanted to walk around naked for the night,” I said, biting my lower lip and giving him my most innocent smile, making his cock twitch in response.
“I’ll make it up to you another night––I promise,” Brandon groaned, bending down again as he pressed his lips to mine.
“But that other night won’t be the night you proposed and I said ‘yes’.”
“I know, Baby…” Brandon looked down at me, searching my eyes as if he was looking for some sort of answer or something. “What if we get a hotel room in the city, you call in sick tomorrow and we order room service, eat breakfast in bed and then spend the rest of the day with Blake? He can take care of Niner tonight. It will give him time to clear his head, too, since that was the reason he jumped on a plane and flew thousands of miles unannounced.”
“Well, he did come all this way. Maybe we should spend time with him?”
“No, he will understand. I’m sure he will be here longer than one night. We will hang out with him tomorrow. Plus I want to see you wearing nothing but your new ring and a smile for the rest of the night,” he said, winking at me, reading my mind.

 

My Review

5 star review of Anything Like Me

Finally!  We find out who was knocking at the door!  And with the unexpected visitor comes more bumps in the road in the quest for a happy ever after for Brandon and Spencer!

I have really fallen for these two and been through highs and lows and some funny times two during the last two books and was hoping that they finally get the ending they deserve!

In walks the unexpected and honestly unwanted guest, and he manages to bring out so many emotions in me.  At first I really disliked him and purely for the fact he brings yet more anguish and barriers to their relationship.

I was also drawn to the change in the mood of the relationship between Spencer and Ryan throughout this particular book (for reasons I wont divulge in case it spoils it for anyone who hasn’t yet read the books!) and or me this added a further dimension to the story too.

However, despite the events of the book and some not very wise decision-making by Brandon at times, this was a truly perfect ending to the series.  As endings go, this one made my heart melt and the final chapter was just WOW!  And then the epilogue, well that just gave me the warm and fuzzies!

Well done Kimberly on a fantastic series! Five heartwarming stars!

(Halo #1)

Synopsis

Easton Crawford put his modeling career and good looks before his marriage until it was over. Years later, he is finally learning how to be the father his daughter needed him to be. He’s not looking for a new mom for his daughter—just nightly casual hook-ups. When his best friend, Avery, convinces him that a good way to meet a lot of single women is to go on a single’s cruise, Easton finds more than just a hook-up when he meets a fellow cruiser, Brooke.

Brooke Bradley has taken care of her younger sister, Bailee, for most of their lives. While their mother was enjoying not being a mother, Brooke became the adult in the household at thirteen. She had always taken care of the people in her life, especially her boyfriend, Jared. If it wasn’t for Brooke, Jared wouldn’t know how to function throughout the day.

When Brooke’s best friend, Nicole, gives her a gift of going on a cruise without telling her that it’s a single’s cruise, will Brooke find someone willing to be her constant and finally leave Jared?

Brooke and Easton learn that people are brought into their lives for many reasons. Over time, they find out what those reasons are. Some are to be a temporary acquaintance while others are there for life.

5 Star REVIEW of Tears of Tess by Pepper Winters

Holy crap! This book gets 5 totally mind messing stars from me! What a story and Q and his damned panty melting French accent has just got me in an utter frenzy in my lady garment department!

I love dark reads and this one blew my mind! And this is one book that should come with a health warning too! Initially I was lulled into a sense that his book wasn’t going to be too bad and when we are initially introduced to Tess and you know what is coming, sort of.  But nothing could have prepared me for Tess’s journey.  This isn’t a romance novel, its dark, gritty and captivating!

Tess isn’t like the usual heroine in this book and she totally kick’s ass and is a hard nut to crack as her captor’s find out. When she is sold her new owner isn’t quite what he seems and her life with him takes many twists and turns.  It left me engrossed from the word go!

Q, oh my God Q?!  What to say apart from, “Never judge a book by its cover.”  The man has a dark side and secrets you’d probably rather not know but somehow you find yourself utterly drawn to him!  Everything screamed at my subconscious to step away from him but you just can’t!

This book for me was simply amazing!  A dark gritty read that kept me turning the pages until I had finished it! I did it in one sitting and then jumped straight into Quintessentially Q!

Five utterly mind-bending stars!
