Review / Release Blitz: Memories of You (Stark Security #5.5) by J. Kenner

Memories of You, an all new seductive Stark Security novella from New York Times bestselling author J. Kenner and 1,001 Dark Nights, is out now!
Hollywood consultant Renly Cooper is fed up with relationships. His recent breakup with a leading lady played out across the tabloids, and the former Navy Seal is more than ready to focus on his new position as an agent at the elite Stark Security agency. He’s expecting international stakes. Instead, his first assignment is to protect one of Damien Stark’s friends from a stalker. A woman who, to his delight, turns out to be one of his closest childhood friends.

After a foray into online dating puts tech genius Abby Jones in danger, she needs a bodyguard, and her business partner, Nikki Fairchild Stark, enlists help from Stark Security. When the assigned agent turns out to be her best friend from junior high—and her first crush—she’s thrilled to discover he’s even more delicious now. She hopes one sexy night can turn into more, but Renly is firmly in the friends-with-benefits camp.

As the threat to Abby increases, she tries to keep her growing feelings for Renly at bay. But as the sparks between them burn even hotter, can they go from friends to lovers when the first order of business is simply to keep Abby alive?

**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you'll enjoy each one as much as we do.**

MY REVIEW
Abby's never forgotten, nor gotten over, her former best friend, Renly. But he left one summer and she's never seen him since. Until the day she needs a bit of help, and suddenly he's there. Renly's been a SEAL, he's been all over the world, and now he's in front of the woman he's never gotten over, the woman he let get away without telling her how he really felt about her. Now that she's back in his life, will he let her go again, or keep her? Even if forever is something he's never wanted before. Can he figure out who's harassing her, AND keep her in his life, even if only as his best friend?

Memories of You is a short, sweet second chance at love tale. I liked both Abby and Renly, especially Abby, but I admit I wanted a bit (a lot) more heat and intensity between them. I didn't feel their connection as strongly as I wanted it to be, and I wish they could have been an actual couple for much more of the story rather than just in the epilogue. For a novella, though, this felt like a complete story, one I wish had been expanded to full length so that I could enjoy them longer.

Review: Waiting for You by Kate McBrien

Review of Waiting for You by Kate McBrien Justin and Lucy are apart, but for how long? Lucy's staying with her parents, but knows she needs to get out and start living her life again. But when she gets a chance to go to London, it just may be her chance to reunite with the man whose soul has been entwined with hers for centuries upon centuries. But first, our two fated lovers will have to not only reunite, but stay together, beat the odds and the people and/or forces who are trying to keep them apart. Waiting for You is a great followup to Discovering You. Justin and Lucy's story is exciting and passionate, and the mystical/fantasy/paranormal aspect just adds another interesting layer to their already wonderful connection. I normally don't read a lot of paranormal/fantasy/sci-fi romance anymore, but I loved it here in Waiting for You. It's subtle, but ever present and as I said, just makes their story all the more intriguing. I can't wait for the conclusio...
