R. L. Kenderson

This is an amazing anthology full of talented authors. My reviews are for The Kiss Keeper by Krista Sandor and Secret Plunge by Jasmin Miller. I can't wait to read more from this anthology.

The Kiss Keeper by Krista Sandor: This story made me laugh out loud and swoon very hard from page to page. Natalie and Jake met once years ago and they just didn’t know who the other one was because of the kiss keeper tradition at summer camp. The tradition states one boy and one girl meet by the old well blindfolded for their first kiss but they can’t let each other know who they are and they can’t remove their blindfolds, so Jake and Natalie have their first kiss but it wasn’t by the well it was at her cabin door and years later Natalie still thinks she is cursed. Jake had a rough time at life after that summer at camp so he has worked hard to become a wealthy real estate developer and has shut all feelings and making deeper connections off even if after all this time he thinks about that kiss years ago with a girl he doesn’t know. By some serendipitous chance they meet again by strange events that lead them back to where it all started Camp Woolwich. These two have immediate attraction and go through some funny things and slowly start to fall for each other then, the bottom falls out and now Jake has to prove to Natalie he. really is her Kiss Keeper and they belong together. This was super cute, fun to read, and had amazing characters I loved it all.

Secret Plunge:

Harper and Ryan’s story is an epic and beautiful one that we got to see glimpses of them in Fresh Meet as Jace’s friends. I loved every bit of this short story because Ryan is utterly amazing, and Harper is funny, kind, and beautiful. Their story doesn’t have a traditional start because it starts as a one-night stand and things go from there. I loved their banter, the texts, and how sweet Ryan was towards Harper and their situation. This author has a way of pulling readers into the character’s lives and emotions that a reader can feel what they are.… (mehr)

REVIEW: A delightful exploration of a woman becoming completely aware of her body and her pleasure. The authors can certainly write steamy passion! Why didn’t I have a brother with a best friend like Cade and his off-the-charts hotness! The issue of weight was handled with compassionate authenticity. I would have liked a little more developed plot. Don’t take away the spiciness. That was sizzling and kept me reading straight through the book. I was a tiny bit disappointed in the relationship between Cade and Rayne’s brother, Beau, and the backstory about their shared dream of a restaurant. Overall, it was still a fun read and I would definitely read more by R.L. Kenderson. I was sent a free book and am voluntarily leaving this honest review.

DESCRIPTION, NOT REVIEW: All she wanted was to improve her skills when it came to the C.

I was the girl next door…with a few extra pounds. My job was demanding and kept me on my toes, but when I was deep in a case, it left me little time for relationships. And because of that, I had some complaints in the bedroom.

What I wanted was for someone to teach me to be a better lover. I needed someone I trusted with my body without the fear of falling in love and someone who wasn’t looking for anything more than sex. And I needed a man who knew how to use his body.

That was where Cade Nichols came in. He was my older brother’s best friend and anti-commitment. And my brother just challenged him to sleep with only one woman for one month. I offered to help Cade win that bet—as long as he helped me learn my way around a c*ck.

What I didn’t bet on was life not going as planned.

Author Note: The heroine is plus-size, and while she is comfortable with her body there are fat women realities mentioned. There is also light b*ndage, org*sm play, and the hero likes to be in control in the bedroom.… (mehr)

I love the World of True North that Sarina Bowen has created so I was beyond thrilled to find out that other authors would be writing books set in this world. R.L. Kenderson is a new author for me but I quite liked this book and I am eager to read more from this author. The Busy Bean series has been a fun addition to the Truth North world and this edition was no exception.

I always enjoy a gruff character so Gabe was just what I like to read about. Charli was also a good character and I found myself quickly invested in their story. The only thing that was a slight negative for me was how abruptly the story ended.

I am very excited to read more books that take place in the World of True North as I know there will be several by a variety of authors coming out in the Busy Bean series as well as other other spinoff series. This is a relatable place with characters you truly care for and want to see a happy outcome given to.… (mehr)

DESCRIPTION, NOT REVIEW: Texting the wrong number never felt so right.

It started with a not-so-innocent text that I’d meant to send to the guy I was casually dating. Things had been moving slowly, and I’d decided it was time to spice things up.

Me: I need you to come over. I want to feel you inside me.
Him: Who is this?
Me: Indy. Who’s this?
Him: Wrong number.
Me: Oh crap. I’m sorry.
Him: I’m not. What’s your address?

Now, I have to decide whether I want to block him and text the guy I meant to in the first place. Or do something outrageously bold and tell him to come over.… (mehr)
