Lets start off by saying that Ms. Kenner is one of my favorite Erotica authors as one of my favorite series is The Stark International Trilogy is one of my top favorite series and Bitch Slap was yet another winner in my book.

I loved the story from beginning to end as well as its characters. Omg from the very first pages this author had me already laughing.I love when that happens.

Pierce Blackwell is swoon worthy and an arrogant prick.Tall dark handsome with a sense of humor just adds to his sexiness. Jez was beautiful sexy and smart and had a kind heart and very was protective of the ones she loves.

I always pick a favorite character in a story and although it was hard Jez one out.I loved everything about her character.One of the things that drew me to her is that you sensed that she was unhappy and very sad.Although she loves her sister very much she had the life of the glitz and glamor and all the attention that comes from being a star that her sister is its not the life for her. As her manager she is in the thick of it and hates all that comes with it and yet her sister thrives on it. Jez really is more of a private person and prefers a more quiet life.I really loved the changes that we saw in Jez for the first time she was doing and taking something for herself.I saw the shell she built around her slowly dissolve away and a buttery fly emerge as they say.She became more confident in a out of the bedroom and willing to take some risks.

I have to mention Pierce as he surprise me as well.I love when we see the mighty fall.We saw a mere slip of a women who had no designs on him bring him to his knees.Pierce was living the life a a playboy ,his life was a string of one night stands.He was the no commitment kind of guy who didn't do relationship everything about him was about finding a willing women for the night an moving on.Wow! I have to say that Pierce evolved and grew up throughout this story.He found the one women to get under his skin that he could not just hit it an miss it so they say.We saw him make mistakes along they way as long a groveling but for once in his life he was willing to do whatever it took to keep the one person who was worth keeping.I loved all the things he was willing to do they were so out of character for him yet he sucked it up and soldiered on.

This couple has some major chemistry going on that led to a lot of hot sex that was so intense that they could not get enough of one another.They made a really cute couple.

My favorite scene of the story had to be Jez and Pierce's first meeting. Omg I laughed so hard .I couldn't wait for it to dawn on him that Jez was not who he thought she was.From this moment on I new I was going to love this story and the surprises it brought and I was so right I loved it from beginning to end.

I love when your able to connect with the characters you read about and I was able to do that with this couple and I love when that happens as I root for a happy ending for the couple involved.

Well done another story that goes into the keeper pile.A recommended read to all.

5 stars from us

3.5 stars but I really thought this one's gonna make at least 4 stars. The story was rather interesting with the usual paranormal activities that were creepy and intriguing at the same time. And I really liked the H, who was a secondary character in book 1; a friend of the H there. I didn't like him in book 1 much but in his own book, I got to know him better so all in all, I thought this one's gonna be better.

However, the h of the story completely ruined it for me. She was an idiot, extremely stubborn and super irresponsible. If someone said 'don't do this, it's dangerous', she'd simply ignore that warning and do exactly that; all because she fancied herself a 'journalist', a detective too, by the looks of it. *eyeroll* I lost count of just how many times she had put herself in danger throughout the book and in the process, put the H in danger too cause he was always rescuing her. -_- Even though she'd later acknowledge some of her blunders, I don't think she learned much from any of it. Either way, by 70% I began losing interest and didn't care how it ended. I wished I could replace the h with someone smarter, more responsible. No idea what the H saw in her anyway! Meh.

I had high hopes for this series. Too bad. *sigh*

3 stars but barely made it. This one definitely won't go down as one of my favorites. TBH, I was bored for the most part but it was mainly because I didn't care for our "beautiful and brilliant" heroine. To me, she was every bit silly and clueless as her dumb family. I don't even know what James saw in her, apart from her affinity towards the Bard's work (and her beauty?). She may have wrote some good papers on the Bard but I was bored through and through with her real self.

On the contrary, I LOVED our hero, who I thought deserved a better, and dare I say, more matured woman in his life. Even as I slogged through where Ellen shows her dumb self over and over again, by being a pushover for the half of the story, I lost my patience when she turned down James's marriage proposal for the umpteenth time, reason unknown. I mean for no valid reason at all! After all that he'd done for her, she still couldn't bring herself to come to a decision about his utmost devotion to her. :o I mean, was that part even up for debate? A young, handsome, brilliant, RICH Marquess wants to marry me, who also encourages my interest in Shakespeare, Geography and other things society won't let any gentle lady take part in. Who comes running if he thinks I'm in danger and would do anything to help me and my family so he's also extremely kind. Who already said he loves me... I like him too, but not enough to decide whether I should marry him. Oh geez! From her monologue, all I can say is that she was unquestionably dumb.

It took James's decision to not pursue her any longer (he at least had some reasons, not to retaliate in any way) for Ellen's brain to start working, and finally realizing what an idiot she'd been and how unfairly she'd treated him. Too late Ellen, you've already ruined my fun. -_- *yawn*

'Bitch Slap' by J. Kenner is the story of Pierce and Jez.
Pierce is a one night stand guy after his engagement fell apart and has been happy that way for a long time. Pierce even joked that he could write a book about why one night stands are better than dating and a relationship. Jez is all business and is trying to oversea her sister career and now the fall out of her sister choices in relationships.
Pierce is trying a new hookup App when he enters a restaurant to meet a women who he only knows as 'J'. Pierce gathers that Jez is the women he is to meet and they go to the bar to talk. Jez thinks she is interviewing Pierce for a possible security job for her sister. When he goes on about this being one night she gets up and walks away since she needs at list three weeks. It doesn't take Pierce long to find out he had the wrong women. But he is curious about Jez so he goes forward to find out information about her which leads them to meet again.
