Staying True, Finding Love

4.5 stars - Okay. So, I'm gonna be forthright with you. Oh, who'm I kidding, I'm rarely anything less than - especially with my reviews. Back on topic. I haven't read the first book in this duet but after reading the second book? Yeah, it needs to be read. I don't think for a moment that it prevented me from enjoying this book but I simply need more of these three.

Kenzi has been caught between a rock and a hard place for a long time but the rock and the hard place have outsized her when she makes a deal with the devil (a.k.a. Leonard King) for the sake of her son, his secret grandson.

All the while, she quickly reignites her friendship with Donovan and Jason. One is clueless as to what's going on behind the scenes, while the other joins her between that rock and hard place. The story is heartbreaking, many times over, but it's also sweet, steamy, crazy, and funny with a heartwarming conclusion.

I like that they each have priorities separately that eventually converge. I also like that, even when the situations get tough, they stick too their beliefs - and they are all tried in different ways. It's a very enjoyable read with fun characters - even when it gets ugly. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
