5 Smooches
Synopsis
Rich, beautiful, and wild, Reagan McKinley has everything she needs…but nothing that she wants. That is, until she spends one hot night in the arms of sexy, unbridled Dare Wilde.
She’s a girl trapped in a rigid world she desperately wants to escape, and he’s an untamed artist with an attitude, hell-bent on freeing her—body, mind, and soul. But Reagan’s life is not her own, and Dare is not welcome in it. She can’t include him in her carefully-controlled, extremely public lifestyle…and yet she cannot give him up.
Will a shared passion for art—and, increasingly, each other—be enough to keep them together? Or will it be the thing that ultimately tears them apart?
Review
“Emptiness filled every part of my body and mind. But who fucking cared? I had other, less conventional means of fulfillment. Pop an upper. Shoot some tequila. Fuck a stranger. Bury shame. Get a 4.0 GPA. Play perfect daughter. Rinse and Repeat.”
I have to say I am a serial convert. I used to avoid these like the plague but lately I find myself devouring several a week. There is something about an ongoing story that you don’t have to wait a long time for that has me wanting more and more. Being a serial this wasn’t terribly long and I was easily able to read it in one sitting while the munchkins watched a few cartoons. Untamed is part one in a six part serial with each part revealing more and more of Raegan and Dare’s story!
“I’d surrendered all common sense and lost myself in him. Completely. Wholly. Desperately. I couldn’t get enough.”
Being that this story is short with lots packed in I don’t want to go too far into plot because I worry that saying more than the synopsis would be taking away from what you the reader should get to discover. So let’s go over the important aspects of this story. First, Raegan, I didn’t love her but that being said at this point in the story I am not sure I am supposed to. She is a bit rich and spoiled and thinks pills and alcohol is a good way to drown out the life she is supposed to live but desperately wants out of. Now Dare, LORDY LORDY LORDY, can I just say holy-smoke-I-need-a-cold-shower-HOTTNESS! Dare is everything I want my book boyfriend to be kind, caring, alpha, and hot as hell! He has his own drama but never lets HIS drama change how he feels about Raegan or get in the way of what he wants with her. I am literally DYING for more of him.
“Two parts,” he said softly. “One Whole.” And my heart filled with Dare. Bubbled up and overflowed, spilled out of my body, saturating the entire apartment, the building, the city. Coloring my entire world.
To be perfectly honest when asked to review this story I had never heard of either author but the well written blurb and story idea grabbed me and I thought why not give it a shot, worse case scenario is that it’s short and won’t take long. Well lucky me cause it was fantastic. I can honestly tell you that Victoria and Jinsey’s work is great and I will anxiously waiting for more from them.
