Something in me wants more than what I’ve had, but true intimacy is a risk I’m not willing to take. Lately, though, not only has it left me unsatisfied, but it’s left me depressed. I scratched the itch on my terms, letting men into my body, but allowing no real intimacy. How do I explain how complex sex is for me? I’ve always compartmentalized it into a purely physical connection. But as drawn as she is to Kenan in every possible way, Lotus’ demons have come knocking at the same time, forcing her to finally address a past that has left her feeling incapable of achieving real intimacy with anyone. Every time their paths would cross, she would run the other way, until an unexpected new working relationship between them leaves her no place to run anymore. Working as right-hand of one of the most powerful voices in fashion, Lotus DuPree is no stranger to beautiful men, but from the moment she locked eyes with Kenan Ross-in all his six feet and seven inches of dark bronze skin, flexing muscle, and regal bone structure glory-she knew she was in trouble. The few encounters we’ve had were charged with an intensity that made one thing clear: the rules I set for other men-casual, easy, simple-do not apply with Kenan Ross. In this exquisite slow-burning romance between two people whose pasts have taught them not to trust easily with their hearts, but whose every instinct tells them they’ve found something incredibly rare in one another, Ryan’s meticulous character development makes you feel every nuance of emotion between her two leads, and as she continues to weave a tale that is as painful as it is gorgeous, you find yourself knowing one thing from the start-this is a story you’ll want to read many times over. A true master of her genre, she writes with remarkable sensitivity and intelligence, weaving a quiet storm of prose that is thoughtful, incisive, and filled with deep, deep emotion, but it is the greater message in every one of her stories that leaves us aching to discover every single purposeful detail she has left on the page for us. And Kennedy Ryan is one of those rare authors for me.
Yet there are still authors who manage to make me fall in love with their writing time and time again, consistently blowing my mind with the sheer power of their words.
