5. she tipped her head back and in his ear, she whispered, Since I was three, there s never been a day when I wasn t in love with you Woah What a roller coaster of a book It went from creepy to intense to hot n steamy to sweet to sad to beautiful it had twists and turns and a story built in layers forward as well as dug in layers backwards quite the ride And I loved it So the back story that you go into this book knowing from the blurb is that Alexander Colton and Febuary Owens were always meant to [...]

6. Solid 4 starsWow What an intense and gripping read For You is a intricately written, multi layered suspense story with a great romance and a cast of fantastic characters The plot is full of suspense, drama, heartache, passion, steamy sex scenes, and one seriously crazy, out of his mind, psycho killer For You had my attention from the first page to the last Mystery and suspense seemed to be the main focus of the book rather than Kristen Ashley s typical romance centered plots although, there was [...]

10. So here s the thing about KA KA writes stories about people that live in small towns Even if they don t actually live in a small town, her books still have that small town feel everyone grew up together, everyone knows everyone else s business, people look out for each other, no one gets lost in the crush of life, etc.I absolutely adore her books, and since I first discovered them a couple of years ago, they ve become my failsafe for book hangoversE BURG series in particular is one of my favor [...]

11. The KA reading continues at Buddies Books and BaublesI do love my KA fixes with these ladies and it was so great so spend a little time with Colt and Feb again Since I was three, there s never been a day when I wasn t in love with you The first books I read by Kristen Ashley KA were her Fantasyland Series and I was worried that her uber alpha males would not translate well into her contemporary fiction I WAS WRONG At least in this book, perhaps it was because she toned it down a little but I abs [...]

13. Alrighty then I just deleted yet another review accidentally POWERS THAT BE WE NEED A FREAKING AUTO SAVE FEATURE FOR REVIEW DRAFTS Let me just say this I liked this book, but I feel like there could have been a good 100 pages less of it There was a lot of unnecessary everything I also found it hard to believe that Colt, being the hard core alpha KA hero that he is, would let the love of his life leave him like she did without ANY explanation whatsoever That right there lost an entire star from m [...]

14. 3.85 A buddy read with the KA addicts at the BBB attic It has been two weeks since my last KA book and I had been jonezing for my doze KA delivered as always This book would be considered a second chance contemporary romance, and is a bit subdued than the rest of her books, but apart from an explosion, it contained the usual damaged female with a good heart, the alpha male, who in this case happen NOT to be a jerk, a crazy murderous stalker, gunshots and the always mandatory kidnapping It would [...]

15. 4 stars Contemporary Romance Romantic SuspenseI m an avid Kristen Ashley fan, but this isn t my favorite of her books And although I didn t enjoy it as much as the Colorado Mountain and Dream Man series, For You is still a good read KA s writing style tends to be very detailed, descriptive, and lengthy, and it just didn t work as well for me this time It s a great second chance romance with a likable H h and dark, chilling suspense elements, but it felt bogged down at times, which kept it from b [...]

19.

20. I began this series not knowing what to expect, and once again KA produced a story that was full of action,suspence, romance, and of course great sex I am not usually fond of the reconcilliation stories but this one I found was hard not to enjoy.Colt and Februray fell in love at a young age and were the high school sweethearts that everyone knew would be together forever Unfortuneatly, there was a MAJOR misunderstanding that was orchestrated by someone who was crazy and obsessed with Feb and wan [...]

21. 3.5 Stars This was my first Kristen Ashley read and it was just as sexy as I thought it would be KA s writing is unique to anything I ve read before the dialogue is down to earth and gives you a feel of comfort and closeness with the characters The story was interesting and had a romantic suspense theme The highly psychotic murderer on the loose added an exciting and creepy twist that I enjoyed There was so much terrific build up at the start of book that I expected to be completely floored when [...]

YOU CAN T REWRITE HISTORY In this town, EVERYONE knew that February Owens and Alexander Colton were meant to be Romeo and Juliet, say they didn t die but Juliet got pissed and took off Everyone would know it was Romeo and Juliet, would always be Romeo and Juliet, even if later Romeo hooked up with Nancy No one ever heard of Nancy, doesn t even sound right, Romeo and Nancy Everyone knows Romeo s meant to be with Juliet Even if Romeo loved Nancy, Nancy would always know she was never Juliet Alexan [...]

23. It pains me to say this but some of these KA books are just too freakin long Where is a good editor when you need one Sometimes I don t mind the endless details but in this story, which is a romantic suspense, I thought the endless details and introduction of so many characters not essential to the story and giving them lines to speak helped to slow down the momentum of the story I want my RS to move at a fast pace, with me dying to turn the page to find out what will happen But sadly, there wer [...]

24. Book 1 in the Burgs Series which Kristen Ashley refers to as a crime series on her website It is in fact an edgy romantic suspense with a sadistic hatchet wielding homicidal maniac on the prowl with February Owens our heroine as his object of desire and will stop at nothing to avenge the wrongs he perceives have been done to her over the years And we are talking years here he carves up someone she once had an argument with at high school right at the beginning of the novel.He leaves this body at [...]

26. A gorgeously hot ultra protective guy reunited with his gorgeously hot but messed up first love 22 years after she broke his heart and he never knew why Throw in a brilliant cast of family and friends, the usual KA banter, steam and swooniness and one freaky as all hell serial killer, and you have utter perfection OK, I had to give myself some time to contain the gush fest that I would have written immediately after finishing the book, but I ve managed to calm down, and am able to restrain mysel [...]

28. Another KA buddy read with the crazy chicks at the BBB group If you want to join a really fun group, and you re a little neurotic, we are here for you And, then join the Buddies Books and Baubles group So, we read these Kristen Ashley books and they all have a sort of feel to them There is always an alpha male who may or may not be pushing the boundaries of assholeness There is always some sort of danger that the female gets into The females have a tendency to whisper I don t know why There is a [...]

30. Well how can I put this nicely This book was ok I wonder if it was just me because KA usually is so good, but I really couldn t get into this one It seemed like the never ending story to me I had to force myself to finish this book It wasn t bad, but it wasn t really good, IMO I was so bored through the whole book Halfway through I just wanted the bad guy to hack up everyone with his hatchet and be done with it I liked the KA speak you know where the men only talk in half sentences and grunts, i [...]
