4 Smooches
Synopsis
A night they will always remember…a connection neither can deny…a secret that could destroy it all…
When Kennedy Ryan moves to California, she never expects to come face-to-face with Liam Taylor—the intriguing man who has haunted her thoughts for a year. A man who led her to breaking every one of her rules for a single night of passion that ended up meaning more than it was ever supposed to. Accustomed to disastrous experiences with men, Kennedy shields herself before he can break down more of the carefully built control she’s clung to for the last four years. But every time she sees Liam, she feels her resolve weakening.
Liam Taylor has been asked to help socialize his boss’s nieces. But what he thinks sounds more like a babysitting job ends up leading him to the only girl who ever slipped away before morning—a girl he thought he’d never find again. And now that she’s within reach, Liam’s determined to never let her go.
But when a secret from her past tests their relationship, will they be able to cling to the trust Liam has worked so hard to build?
Review
“Because unlike what everyone loves to believe so they can feel better about their own dirty deed while in Sin City, what happens in Vegas doesn’t always stay in Vegas.”
I am a wimp. I read Taking Chances long before I blogged and even before I had any book friends and I had no clue . . .I mean absolutely NO CLUE what kind of emotional journey I was getting into. By the end of the book I had thrown my kindle, drank and bottle of wine and swore off reading Molly McAdams ever again. As much as I loved the story (mostly) she was simply an author that could not be trusted. I needed to be smart with my heart and steer clear. Here I am a almost two years later and I still have not read anything else by Molly but I am wiser and more well-read and even I can acknowledge that swearing off an author because she completely shattered your heart is a dumb idea. When I saw the invite for Trusting Liam I knew the time had come to give Molly a chance and just pray that I would come out of this in one piece.
“Oh, a little confident there? So many women fall at your feet that you don’t have to bother yourself with something like pursuing one of them? Must be nice.” “No one was ever worth the chase. But you? You will be worth it every time. I will always chase you, Kennedy.”
Trusting Liam is told in dual POV between Liam and Kennedy in first person. Existing in both the Taking Chances and Forgiving Lies world, Trusting Liam is best if read after those book but completely could be read as a standalone, as I previously stated I have only read Taking Chances and had no problem keeping up although I do now desperately want to read Forgiving Lies.
“This wasn’t me. I liked being on top. I likes having control of any heated situation, and not being in control left me panicking – but not with Liam. Everything about Liam, from last year in Vegas through now, had me being someone I didn’t recognize.”
Liam and Kennedy have a passionate night in Vegas where both lost all control over someone whose name they didn’t even know. Unfortunately for Liam, Kennedy sneaks out before he can find out more about the first girl to get under his skin. Resolved about the fact he returns home and continues to work hard excel at his job until the day that his boss and mentor ask him to help out his twin nieces get settled in town. Kennedy along with her identical Twin, Kira, is forced to move to California when danger at home puts both at risk. She never expects when she gets a job at a fighting gym, with the help of her uncles employee, that the owner’s son would be the sexy man she left naked in a bed a year ago. The one who finallly let her give up an ounce of control. But nothing is easy in the Molly world and Kennedy is determined not to get into another relationship that would have the power to break her.
“For the first time in my life, I knew I was falling in love. And it was with a girl who was terrified by the idea of relationships.”
Trusting Liam was a sexy and sweet book with a dash of insight into the world after Taking Chances and with two main characters you can’t help to fall for. Tattooed and pierced Kennedy appears tough but is still vulnerable and Liam looks and acts the playboy role as good as his dad before him. But these two together are dynamite. The writing was smooth and addicting and the story kept me turning pages. I can’t say that it invoked as much emotion as Taking Chances but it did make me want to explore more Molly books in the future.
“Good night, Moon.”
