Wicked Grind by J. Kenner

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Second chance romances are my weakness. J Kenner’s sensual and sweet second chance romance, Wicked Grind, was MY KRYPTONITE.There is nothing as passionate and powerful than two former lovers rekindling that flame and two broken souls becoming whole again. Shiver-me-sexy meets sugary-sweet in Wicked Grind, a second chance romance that SEDUCES with every word.

I DEVOURED Wicked Grind that quickly became MY SWEET ADDICTION. Wicked Grind hums with DESIRE. This COLLISION of childhood lovers was my SWEET ACHE and I could not turn the pages fast enough. I LOVED the hero and heroine, and their UNDENIABLE attraction so much!

Wyatt is a tall, dark, built, and sexy world famous photographer whose work is edgy and enticing. Wyatt is fire-hot and I could not help but MELT!!! When his work collides with his personal life in the form of beautiful Kelsey, his childhood sweetheart, it’s one crash that may cause one or both of them to get burned.

I SMOLDERED as the fireworks ignited from these former flames as the words fused with fire. This couple is the perfect match. I felt their connection surge through the pages. The sexual tension and poignant past between Kelsey and Wyatt GRIPPED ME HARD where I was GLUED to their sizzling story.

“Can you handle knowing I’ll see you raw and vulnerable? And not just see you. Do you understand that I’m the one who’s going to take you there?”

I SWOONED as the sorrow mixed with sweetness hit my heart hard.

“I’m invisible.”

“You’re not invisible to me.”

I SWEATED from the powerful push and pull of this story that tugged my heart in every direction.

“You know my conditions. Now ask yourself what you want. And then ask yourself how much you want it.”

J. Kenner is the queen of seduction and oh did Wicked Grind SEDUCE EVERY OUNCE OF ME!!! With writing as smooth as silk with strength in spades, a sweet and sexy hero, and a soulful second-chance romance, I was a GONER!!! I was so sunk into this love story…hook…line…sinker!!!

With its undeniable chemistry and unparalleled intensity, Wicked Grind is PURE INTOXICATION. I LOVED this ENTICING ESCAPE!!! While this story is tied to the spellbinding Stark world, Wicked Grind is fresh and fiercely stands on its own. Wicked Grind is one WILD RIDE! This love story is POWER and PASSION in words, and I am panting for more.

Even in my fantasies, I can’t bring myself to give us a happily ever after.

Sometimes it feels so damn good to be bad

Photographer Wyatt Royce’s career is on the verge of exploding. All he needs is one perfect model to be the centerpiece of his sexy, controversial show. Find her, and Wyatt is sure to have a winner.

Then Kelsey Draper walks in. Stunning. Vibrant. And far too fragile for a project like this. Wyatt should know—after all, he remembers only too well why their relationship ended all those years ago.

Determined to break free from her good girl persona, Kelsey wants spice. Adventure. And she’s certain that Wyatt is just the man to help.

But when Wyatt agrees to give her the job only if he has complete control—on camera and in his bed—Kelsey can’t help but wonder if she’s in too deep. Because how can a good girl like her ever be enough for a man like Wyatt?

All Wicked novels stand alone

A MUST-CLICK ROMANCE!!!

It is unbelievable to me that this is Jen Lum’s debut. This novella reads so beautifully and flows so gracefully. The love story between Tobias and Casey so captivated me that I still miss these two. I still think about them and am so incredibly anxious for more words from Jen!

Tobias is such a troubled young man who finds himself at a crossroads with difficult decisions to make He’s sending the summer with his father and stepmother – people that he barely knows and that he doesn’t really want to know. All Toby knows is that the man who was supposed to love and protect him left when he needed him the most and his life was never the same. He’s hardened his heart and nothing is going to get through. And then one early summer morning, Toby meets the girl that will change his whole life.

Casey is a city girl with a dreamer’s heart. A lover of words. A refreshing change to Toby. She’s warm and carefree; flight of fancy and so beautiful to him. She changes Toby simply by being his friend and giving him her love. Still Casey knows that at the end of the summer all that she had with could be over. No one expects the summer to end the way that it does.

I could not have asked for a better introduction to Jen Lum! This story was simply sweet, written with heart and passion. First love and first heartbreak…. this made me remember just how big those first moments can be and how they can consume us, change our course and color our perspective. This was an amazing first story from a young woman who is going to be an absolute power house!

Absolutely FANTASTIC! Great job, dear friend.

 

TOBY

Spending the entire summer with my father wasn’t in my plans. I hated him. I was angry and resentful, and it made me feel out of control.

Until I met her.

Casey is carefree. She lives life to the fullest, without regrets, and to a guy like me, she was hope. We only had the summer, and I knew better than to get wrapped up with her, but I couldn’t help it.

And now? Now, I don’t know how to let her go.

CASEY

I’d never been in love. At fifteen, my life was filled with books and family expectations. Love was not something I had time for.

And then, he saved me.

Toby is a boy from California, so you would think he’d be easygoing, but he isn’t. He’s the definition of self-control; everything has to be “just so.”

But when we’re together, living each day with reckless abandon, I realize that life is so much more than fairytales within the pages.

I’m pretty sure he’s my soulmate. But what good can possibly come from falling so hard when you’re this young? How can this ever work?

A promise. That’s all we have to hold on to. One. Simple. Promise.

Author J. Lum was born and raised in Northern Virginia, but spent most summers visiting new places or in Hawaii, where her father’s family is from. She’s got a bad case of #Wanderlust, so you’ll more than likely find her traveling more than staying put. She is a furbaby mom to a fat, chubby pug named Lani, who is buckets of snoring fun. When you don’t see her hanging and snuggling with her pug, she will more than likely have her head in a book. She absolutely adores second chance and dark romances equally, but will read a wide variety of books. She loves tats, cooking/baking, chocolate and coffee are weaknesses for her.

Oh, Club Alias is certainly becoming one of my favorite places in Book World right along side the Submissive Center, the Shadowlands and Luminous! Seven was an incredibly delicious read full of the best laughter, awesome pop culture references and one seriously sexy Dom. It’s always the geeky super smart ones that a girl has to be warned about, and be warned. Seth Owens sets this book on its head and the pages on fire!

Twyla Quill is as strong as she is beautiful. A chemical engineer with a promising career, she gives it all up for love. Her sister has been beaten and abused by her boyfriend and finally convinces her to leave. And leave they do – all the way across the country. Twyla has lead a sheltered life, devoting herself to her work and to her studies. She never believed that she would find herself working at a sex shop. So completely out of her element, she finds herself in a situation with… equipment she has never seen or had the opportunity to use. Enter one deliciously devious Dom and let the laughter and sexy hijinks begin!

Seth Owens is simply one the most fun characters I have ever met! He’s got a movie or tv quote for every occassion. He’s as sexy as he is boy genius. He is the brains of the operation, and he puts everyone at ease. I just plain LIKED him from the start. Add in that when Seth is Seven he is Master Seven and that only ups his swoon factor. He may be brains but don’t let that geeky exterior fool you. This man is all alpha and Twyla is his. Nothing will keep him from loving her, having her. Even when the past comes to call, Seth is not one to be taken lightly. He thrilled me, fascinated me with his knowledge, brought me to my knees with his commands. Most importantly, he just made me laugh until my sides ached!

Seven was honest and satisfying. Twyla is refreshingly open to new experiences. Her strength is her love for her sister and her willingness to sacrifice her life for her sister to be safe and happy. That’s true love and a bond that nothing can break. Seth and his Doll have amazing chemistry and a sensual playfulness that made me sigh and grin the silly happy grin. The twists and turns had me reading with one hand over my mouth and the other swiping the tablet as fast as I could. Kayla once again did a tremendous job telling another Club Alias story. Seth and Twyla’s amazing installment in this great series is one not to be missed!

Fantastic, KDR!

Five That’s What She Said Stars!

Seth Owens, co-owner of Club Alias, has always taken full-advantage of the endless supply of willing submissives who frequent his high-end establishment. But he’s never trusted anyone enough to let them get to know the man beneath the leather mask.

Twyla Quill has always been the good girl, the responsible one, which has left her no time to indulge in the many pleasures of life—much less a relationship.

When Twyla finally convinces her sister to leave her abusive boyfriend, they have no choice but to move across the country and hide out, away from the monster determined to get her sister back. With their savings quickly running out, Twyla takes a position at the local sex shop—where she meets Seth, a man who is all too willing to show her what she’s been missing out on.

What happens when the witty Dom meets the sweet new girl in town? Sparks fly and a whirlwind romance neither ever saw coming begins. But will Seth be able to protect the woman he considers his?

Author Note – Seven is a spinoff of The Confession Duet, but CAN be read as a stand alone.

KD Robichaux wanted to be a romance author since the first time she picked up her mom’s Sandra Brown books at the ripe old age of twelve. She went to college to become a writer, but then married and had babies. Putting her dream job on hold to raise her family as a stay at home mom, who read entirely too much, she created a blog where she could keep her family and friends up-to-date on all the hottest reads. From there, by word of mouth, her blog took off and she began using her hard-earned degree as a Senior Editor for Hot Tree Editing. When her kids started school, and with the encouragement from her many author friends, she finally sat down and started working on her first series, The Blogger Diaries, her very own real life romance.
