See where it all began......

The start to a sexy new series from New York Times bestselling author, Kendall Ryan...   

She’s much too innocent for me, but that doesn’t stop me from wanting the sweet, young librarian. I’m dominating and possessive, and my control streak runs a mile wide. The way she looks at me—like I’m one of the heroes in the books she loves, like I’m broken, and she wants to be the one to piece me back together—it only complicates things further. I’m nobody’s hero. But there’s no denying my tragic past reads like one of her favorite literary classics. It’s raw. Visceral. Captivating. And together, we’re a perfect mess. How am I expected to resist when the sexual sparks zap between us and set me on fire? The need to control, and claim her force my walls to come tumbling down, but when she learns my dirty little secret, will my world come crashing down with it?

  ~ Review ~

Ah more Gavin & Emma with a little of the other Kingsley brothers to keep it interesting. With Gavin's secrets revealed to Emma at the hand of his brother Gavin struggles with his inability to reach out to Emma. But when waiting gets to be too much he takes matters into his own hands, determined not to let Emma slip through is fingers. Love is never an easy road but add some unwanted attention meant to do harm....well that's enough to keep those pages turning. Kendall gives us just enough suspense in this book to keep us engaged in the midst of all of the emotional and business conflict. For me the love triangle between Gavin, Emma and Cooper was lopsided. I never truly felt that Cooper was in the running for Emma's heart and I found his behavior childlike. Let's just say Cooper wasn't winning points with me when it came to who was the better man for Emma. I felt like we got a stronger Emma in this book. She seemed more at ease with herself and her affection for Gavin was unwavering even when she was reeling from the bombshell of Gavin's past. I loved seeing a bit less restrained Gavin but for some reason his "term of endearment" for Emma really got under my skin and that has really never happened to me before while reading a book. But his strong sexual appetite and Emma's will to bend to his needs and wants was sexy as hell 🔥. Let's just say Gavin's ability to take charge was sexy in and out of the bedroom. What I am interested in is the quiet brother. I am sure that there is much more to Quinn for us to discover and will eagerly await his story. With Cooper's book up next I am hoping that he wows me and makes me see him in a different light.
