3.5 Smooches!
Synopsis
From the world of Carolina Bad Boys and Retribution MC, a steamy New Adult standalone novella . . . Magic Mike XXL ain’t got nothin’ on Kinky Kinkaid.
Kinkaid:
Bonafide pussy magnet. Kinky Kaid I wanna get laid. Yeah, I’ve been called that shit and more. It comes with the territory. See, I’m a male stripper. I shake my moneymaker so I can pay the bills and take care of my people.
I’m also a hardcore, hell-bent biker dude, the newest prospect at Retribution MC.Probie 2.0, and they can never find out how I earn my living. Women love me. They toss their panties at me. They push hundred dollar bills into my G-string. I’m down and dirty and the honeys dig it. All but one.
There’s this girl, Sadie. She’s beautiful and funny and kickass with some major ink. I’d never make a move on her because she’s my best friend.
Sadie:
Best friend? Bullshit. Kinkaid treats me like I’m his kid sister. I’m the hell-raiser, the tomboy dirt biker, his late night call but never like that. He thinks he’s safe from me. I’m going to prove him wrong. I’ll make him see me as a woman one way or the other.
When I find out what Kinkaid’s been hiding there’s hell to pay. Except then he gives me a lap dance. A hot, wicked, panty-melting lap dance. A lap dance that unleashes our intense desire, fresh jealousy, distrust and anger.
Everything changes after that, and not for the better. I love him. I hate him. I can’t lose him. Sometimes I can’t stand him. He’s hot as sin on a sultry lowcountry night, and he’s still my best friend.
I don’t know if he’s man enough to give me what I need.
Warning: Graphic sex, graphic action, graphic language. Triple X caution.
Review
Kinkaid and Sadie have been friends since Sadie threw a punch and Kinkaid said he couldn’t hit girls and that’s how they became friends. But recently both have started feeling something new, something that means Kinkaid’s new job won’t sit well with Sadie and could mean the end of their friendship altogether before something new could even begin.
“She was naked, just like the first night I’d made love to her when I’d woken in the night and asked her to come back to bed. She’d been warmth and love and beauty. Now she was cold and pain . . . and still, always beautiful.”
So I’ve read the other book in this series and I really enjoyed it. This one however fell a little flat for me. There wasn’t enough excitement and it seemed like this could have been a novella because it was quite repetitive. But I did enjoy Kaid and Sadie and at the end of the day it was a sweet romance between the two.
“Just a kiss, to know what it would feel like. To have her. To hold her. To make her mine. My girl.”
Kaid was sweet and affectionate. He was kind yet still had that dangerous and sexy vibe about him. And Sadie was a strong, feisty woman who wasn’t going to let anyone walk over her and was also going to get the person she’s wanted for a while now.
“Losing my best friend sucked balls, but it hurt even worse because there was an unfamiliar ache in my chest. Like maybe I was losing something I’d never considered with her.”
The plot line was okay. It was a sweet romance but that was it. There wasn’t any real excitement of suspense like there was in the other story. And I also found it a bit repetitive. However, the sex was hot, the two leads loveable, it was a sweet romance and the other MC members I find really funny and I do look forward to getting their stories as the series progresses.
“So suddenly, it was true. It hit me in the chest like a freakin’ Cupid’s arrow. How long had I wanted to touch her, taste her, be with her, and fuck me, fuck her . . . How long without ever acknowledging it?”
