This series is a spinoff of the Andrade series by Ruth Cardello. She is joined in this series, The Barrington Billionaires, by her sister, Jeannette Winters, and her niece, Danielle Stewart. Each one of these authors has written a series that can be read by itself or in conjunction with the other authors. All of the books contain interwoven characters. It’s more fun to read them together but is not necessary.
This one is about Kenzi, the protected little sister of the Barrington clan. She’s been protected and sheltered her whole life and she’s tired of it. Any and everything in life that could potentially upset her mother has been shoved under a rug, never to see the light of day. She’s tired of living a lie. Dax Marshall is a ruthless business man who has a reputation of being brutal. He’s also brutally honest. He’s in Boston to acquire a business from a family friend of the Barringtons when he meets Kenzi. The story takes off from there.
It’s a typical story with lots of chemistry between the characters. You get to revisit Asher and Emily and get updates on their story. All in all, it’s a fun read.

Once in a long, long while you come across a book as emotionally heart-wrenching and luminous as Ruth Cardello’s STOLEN KISSES. I don’t give five-star ratings often, but this one deserves it. Kenzi Barrington is fragile and broken, but when Dax Marshall tells her she’s stronger than whatever she’s facing, she eventually realizes he’s right and starts turning her life around.
What the reader also comes to know is that Dax is also broken, and Kenzi helps him the way he helped her.
Superlatives are often thrown around with sometimes careless abandon when it comes to book reviews, but this book is simply amazing. So good, in fact, I re-read it right after reading it for the first time. Yes, it’s that good.

Best stolen kiss ever.
I love this story, it’s realistic. Kenzi and Dax are two people that are hurting and troubled. They find each other and a way to heal. Add in a mixture of a special dog that helped the healing. Kenzi’s friends, Lexi and Willa are hilarious. They bring fun to the story while her overbearing brothers just makes me want club them in the head. However, all the different personalities of the characters makes the story interesting. I enjoyed reading it

Kenzi Barrington is a lonely women with a lot baggage from her past. Dax Marshall is a man on a mission to be as successful as he can be without any regard to how empty his life without any personal relationships has become. One night out Kenzi takes a walk on the beach to try and settle her mind and soul. Dax Marshall is walking to the resort after a business meeting and spots a lonely woman that looks distressed and seems to know her pain immediately.
I loved this story. It was heartfelt, sexy, with internal conflict at play throughout. I thought it was awesome that Dax was able to help Kenzi find herself and become the strong woman she wanted to be and Kenzi was able to open Dax’s eyes to just how lonely he truly was. This is definitely a 10 star read!!

Kenzie Barrington has spent her whole life a bunch of over bearing older brothers. They are always scaring off any guy that she dates. Dax Marshall has made a name for himself as a ruthless, selfish business man. When Dax met Kenzie something in him felt drawn to her. He felt like she needed him and no matter how much he wanted to stay away from her, he just couldn’t. He some how ends up working his way into some kind of relationship with her and meets her family. She knows she wants him and he has opened up to her enough to understand why he seems to have an issue with committing to one person. Dax still cant quite figure out what his feelings for her are. And her brothers are not helping matters with their over protective behavior.
These 2 have a bunch of personal issues to work through if hey are going to be together. And then he has to win over her brothers. Its a great showing of people who’s biggest drama is their own feelings and family in general.
