Review: Breaking Love

 When single mom Megan is bullied into a dream trip to Paris with her well-meaning best friend, she has no idea that a few days of pleasure will change her life forever.

Luc Chevalier is the kind of uber rich, gorgeous businessman that we've come to look forward to rescuing the damsel in distress. He's got money, his pick of women, and just enough baggage to raise red flags. What he doesn't have, is a desire to engage in any happily ever afters. When these two unlikely characters meet, its passion and romance beyond what either can imagine.

This book is a departure from the hard core erotica that we have been inundated with in the market these days. Don't get me wrong, the sex is HOT and the chemistry between Megan and Luc is enviable. What this book does have is real life situations. A single mom, worried about how her ordinary life will be perceived in the face of a relationship with a man who can afford to buy everything she owns with the swipe of one card; who wouldn't be able to relate to that?

if this book is any indication of how good the other's will be, i'll have plenty of good reading ahead of me this summer.

Review: On My Knees


The highly anticipated second book is finally on sale. Jackson and Sylvia return to the scene more determined to be together after overcoming the devastating secret that kept them apart for so many years. Of course, no Stark novel is complete without new challenges to face and Sylvia and Jackson rise to the occasion once again to meet them head on.

When the secrets start to spill this time, both are stronger and wiser. They still have their destructive coping mechanisms but instead of running from one another, this time they choose to run towards one another and use their combined desire as the salve to their wounds. 

While I'm not usually one for spin-off novels and series, I love the way that Kenner continues in the spirit of the Stark trilogy while giving the new characters their own unique personalities and distinct relationships that don't make it seem like you'r reading the same story with different names thrown in. The passion between Jackson and Sylvia may not be as in your face as Damien and Nikki's but it is just as intense and will leave you wanting more by the time you reach the final pages.
