Samantha By Serenity King

 

 

Serenity King is back with her second installment in the Powell series. I will say readers you don’t have to read the first book in the series to understand this one but you would want to just to get to know this up and coming family better. One of the things I love about this author is that she writes a good family tale as a reader you feel like you know these characters or want to get to know them. This story centers on Samantha and Adam and who could forget sweet Kayla. Vowing to never give her heart to another single mother Samantha cannot control what her heart desires don’t get me wrong she tries to. She is headstrong and at times a bit stubborn. Adam being a Westbrook has always had a thing for her she is beautiful, and their one night together wasn’t nearly enough. Except there is an issue Samantha’s past. She holds many secrets including who is the father of her child. Seeing through her façade Adam makes it his mission to be the father Kayla needs and the man Samantha always wanted.

I understood that Samantha was closed off after being heartbroken but at times she was hard on men mainly Adam. It was like she would be ok with where they were going but was too afraid to lean on him. I wanted Adam to be more of an alpha and take charge instead of letting Samantha come to her own devices. I will say that I hope Daniel (the guy from her past) gets his own story I think there is a lot he has to say. Although Adam could have been a bit more take charge I enjoyed his southern twang he was a good ole’ boy in every way possible. After the hospital scene I thought Samantha would have gotten the hint but she seemed more closed off than ever. Needless to say this chick was very frustrating at times. But after she stopped playing the cat and mouse game when she and Adam came together it was fireworks. I loved the family element of the book and Adam’s love for Kayla.

To escape his mother’s constant bickering for him and his twin to settle down; he escapes to his summer retreat in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, for some fun in the sun. One morning while standing on his fourth-floor balcony, Teksuen sees a woman that he wishes to pursue. Why not? He’s on vacation. The waves are high. The beach is warm and inviting. Little does Teksuen know… the fun he’s about to have is with none other than a woman he’s had a one-night stand with long ago.

You know how in the summer time you want that one feel good read that’s not too complicated but perfect for the beach? Well Serenity King’s new book Riding the Waves is for you.

Josina “Jo” life has not been easy. She is raising her siblings, and is married to her work so when her girlfriends suggest a vacation in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina she is right there. What better way to relax and drown your sorrow than a relaxing trip to the beach? This isn’t just an ordinary beach trip sometimes the past coming back into your life can teach you something about yourself. This is a second chances sweet short read. Don’t get me wrong there is a lot of spice in this story.

Teksusen “Tek” sees her from a distance she’s oddly familiar to him but he can’t place where. Being a man of action he formulates a plan to get to know her better. Jo isn’t as easy catch as Tek once thought she has a very hurtful past and is in the midst of grieving. Never to back down from a challenge Tek sees something in Jo maybe the same thing in his self. Sometimes in life you can’t be so closed off you don’t let love in. I loved that even though this was a short read we get to see the development of these two relationship. Tek shows Jo how to have fun and she opens up emotion in him he never thought possible.

These two have a past so it’s not just insta-love. But I would have liked to see more of that past uncovered and some of how Jo is dealing with her complex family issues being that the story of how she came to raise her siblings was told several times throughout the story. I would have liked a little bit more of a physical description of Jo. With all her family issues she needed relief in the worse way and Tek was just the man to give it to her. The ending was cute and left room open for the next story. I would have liked to know what exactly Tek did and how he and Jo got to the place where love does reign supreme. All in all this was a very good read and I look forward to the next story in this series. Please judge this book for yourselves and not based on this one review.

 

Sinjin: You Give Me Something Cameron Trilogy Book By: Serenity King

Serenity King’s long awaited book Sinjin is finally here! This is the last book in the Cameron Trilogy. If you haven’t read the other two in the series I suggest you do because they are just that good.

The loss of two team members after a horrendous mission can mark a man. Fighting any war can mark a man. Sinjin Cameron has suffered too many loses. Someone is out for his team and his love life or lack thereof is non-existent. Coping the only way he knows how Sinjin withdraws within himself and a nice bottle of amber liquid. Dealing with PTSD and an overly involved family has him on edge. But what happens when you meet the one person that calms you but a part of you knows you can’t have her?

Asia: World-renowned super model turned private investigator is a spit-fire. She can be a brat at times but loves fiercely. Sent on an undercover mission she runs into the only man that can make her heart beat quicken and dampen her panties. Although, they have this chemistry between them Asia knows that Sinjin is a man that is broken, and until he can let down those walls she is reluctant to give him her all.

Her life is in danger. Sinjin is the quintessential Alpha male he will do everything in his power to save her even if that means letting her go. Asia is like no other woman he has meet she doesn’t push him just adds comfort and a love that he has never experienced. As the drama hits up so do the sheets what happens when love, lust, and danger collide?

This book is a little slow moving at times but it all leads up to one big finale. I did like that the book offered a dual p.o.v. including one from the antagonist. I was happy to see characters from previous books make a reappearance in this book. Although at one point I found myself having to write down the list of characters because it was so many and they all played a part in the story. There were a few inconsistences in this story. For instance: He has o.c.d. so why would he leave trash in his house for a month?  Another example was that she is an undercover P.I. and is on the run but acknowledges fans. In the story it mentions that she needs to stay to mom and pop stores but then goes to Macys and keeps her phone on and checks in on social media. If you are trying not to get caught wouldn’t you disconnect from everything? I found some of the details were a little unnecessary at times but once the truth is revealed it all makes sense. I loved the fact that although insecure at times Asia really had Sinjin's back and he had hers. As a reader we really got to see their love blossom. This is not an insta-love type book. Once these two finally do get together the sex scenes are off the chart! I did find the ending to be a bit rushed and really wanted more after what both the characters have went through. But don't worry fans we do get a h.e.a. I just wanted a little bit more like with the other two stories in the trilogy.

The characters were very well developed and I was happy to finally read Sinjin’s story. This author has a way of weaving a good tale and I love that majority of her books are family oriented. I look forward to see what Mrs. King has in store for the future. Please judge this book for yourselves and not based on this one review.
