Him After a horrible breakup, Donovan swore off women and focused on his dream of building a web design empire. Family and one-night stands had to be enough to cure his broken heart or at least distract him from the pain. All love wanted to do was string you along and make false promises. Who needs that? All was well without that. Then he saw HER. Her Kayleena is called home from college …
Kayleena is called home from college because things are falling apart without her. She only has one semester left at school before she’s done but it doesn’t look to be in her near future. Covered in flour and icing, she never expected to see HIM. She’d put enough distance between them so that she would never have to deal with being just friends. Her heart has always craved forever with him, but he proposed to another. Now he’s back in her life and dead set on them being friends. Will she have the power to walk away again or should she settle for his friendship?

I’m sitting here trying to find the words to write this review and the first thing that comes to mind is “I certainly hope there will be a series from this!” The storyline flows easily. Although, Kayleena and Donovan are the main characters in this story, there are other characters that will hold your interest and make you want to follow their tale as well. There were twists and turns along this plot that were surprising in their unfolding, and some that left me wondering what would happened after they came out. This was a great read and so worthy of a 5 star review and recommendation.
I have truly enjoyed the stories I have read from Season two of the Collective and this author who is new to me did not disappoint. We’re introduced to Donovan as a lascivious web designer but this side is so much better, well if you’re into Doms that is. Well, Kayleena knows Donovan from way back when so when he suddenly appears in her life again she’s over the moon. Of course it can’t be that easy. These two have tons to contend with and of course San Francisco has it’s own issues too. You’ll see some familiar names and connect them in the story. Enjoy some action and dominance, a little spanking never hurt anyone. Love this author’s style.
The stories this season are standalone reads but there are characters and a standard theme of riots and unrest. I have read a number of the books and have not been disappointed. It makes me want to go back and find out what I missed in season one.
This was an interesting read that puts you in the mindset of a soap opera you would see on TV only you are reading it! Donovan and Kayleena have a history that she puts on the back burner when he proposes to another and wanted her to be a friend. She is called back home for family drama meaning that she won’t be able to finish up her last semester of school in the for seeable future. She finds out her brother is creating havoc all over the place stealing money and putting everyone at risk because of his behavior. She runs back into Donovan and things heats up between them will they get a second chance for love? There is something for everyone in this book with all the drama going on all over the city not to mention the other dynamic characters that makes episode five stand out as a must read story!
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
My first by this author and I really enjoyed it, I will definitely read her again. It was a bit of a slow starter but once it picked up I didn’t want to put it down.
Donovan and Kayleena were friends when they were young. The problem was Kayleena was on love with Donovan and he never knew. She left town to go to college, so she could better take care of the bakery she owns with her brother.
When Kayleena gets the call to come home, she knows something is wrong. She comes home and finds her brother missing and things are horribly wrong. After a chance meeting, she and Donovan rekindle their friendship, which turns to more. Can they save each other?
This started out in my opinion as two lost souls trying to find their way back to the other. Friends forever but fate brought their lives back to a place where they finally opened up to their feelings.
Throughout the book the back story of kaylenna’s brother was pushing to be heard and in the end almost destroyed the girl she was, but with donovan trying to deal with his past could accept he could have a future? I enjoyed this book but felt it was a slow burner and didn’t book you until the end with the possibility of Kevin’s story to come out.
