When I first met Blake Crawford, all I wanted to do was hit him in the face.
Maybe the groin.

Okay, maybe I wanted to kiss him too, but that's neither here nor there. I mean, he may have a gorgeous English accent, sexy full lips and an ass I'd like to bite but...
Where was I?
Right.

Being in the same creative writing class, he's the last person I wanted to speak to, let alone be paired up with for my final assignment.
But here comes the kicker...not only did our project end up getting us both As but we found out we work well together.
Really well together.

I hate him and he hates me and yet we churn out gold.
We've started writing self-published erotica under a pen name and let me tell you one thing...

Writing dirty sex scenes with the sexiest, most infuriating man you know is a lot harder than you think.
And keeping our hands off each other?
Well that's another story...one with an ending I didn't see coming

 

I Picked Up This Book Because: Exploring the Kindle Unlimited Library

The Characters:

Nova Lane:
Kessler Rocha:
Hunter Rocha

The Story:

I hate to bail but I just don’t connect with these characters. Plus there are passages that are supposed to be funny but just feel like it’s trying too hard. That’s a real turn off for me. I hope Nova and Kessler get it together but I won’t be around for the journey.

I’m going to miss little Hunter, he was my favorite character… or maybe it was the chicken. ;-)


The Random Thoughts:

*DNF no rating.

The banter between two strong personalities is what had me sit up and take notice. Kessler and Nova are an inferno of volatile. They know what they want and will stop at nothing to get it. With Nothing Personal, Halle takes emotions by storm with a battle that is attractively wicked, yet deliciously captivating. Kessler and Nova represent what feelings convey, but are too cordial to confess.

Wild Card: North Ridge #1 - Karina Halle

Wild Card by Karina Halle is a fantastic western romance.  Ms. Halle has delivered a well-written book.  The characters are fantastic and lovable.  Shane pretty much drove Rachel out of town when he broke up with her.  Rachel stayed away until she was called home because her mother is sick.  Their story is loaded with drama, humor, secrets and sizzle.  I enjoyed reading Wild Card and look forward to reading more from Karina Halle in the future.  Wild Card is book 1 in the North Ridge Series but can be read as a standalone.  This is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger.
