MY REVIEW

When Kingston "King" finds a beautiful woman on the side of the road wearing a white gown, he naturally has to stop to see what's going on. When it's clear Aurora needs some help, he takes her home with him, and proceeds to fall head over heels in love with her. It won't be easy for this couple, though, because he's got insecurities (don't we all), and she's naturally skittish after what she went through with her horrible ex.

Aurora "Rory" may not have had a good opinion of King when he first rescued her, but after having been staying with him while she heals, she's realized her first impression of him was wrong. They're slowly getting to know each other, realizing they really like each other, and that they're intensely attracted to each other. And she's finding that King is a protector, a comforter, and a rock. If they can get beyond their own individual baggage, they just may find themselves looking at a happy forever together.

I love everything about this story! Rory and King are so beautiful together. They start as two people who don't have great opinions of each other, then slowly build a friendship with underlying delicious attraction, then fall headlong in love emotionally and physically. Heartfelt, emotionally layered and complex, a bit of suspense - Lace 'em Up is an beautiful way to start off this series. I'm so looking forward to more Mama Bang meddling her way into her sons' love lives - I can only hope all their stories are as wonderful as King and Rory's is.
