Intentional (Intentional Series Book 1) by MK Harkins is a romance with a twist and is quick and fast paced but enjoyable read where betrayal is the name of the game. I knew something was building and lurking in the background but I was unable to work it out. MK’s writing is simple but packs a punch in just the right places. The storyline flows and the characters were interesting and believable and their stories were told in their POV’s, which I love, and kept me engaged until the end. Can’t wait for book two.

Holy moly where has this author been hiding all my life?!
I will be honest, I was frustrated with the speed of the story at first but them BAM! you get the reason for skipping some chunks of time.
Mattie amd her best friend move to Arizona, and things are great, until she meets Jeremy. Then everything is perfect. When the betrayal hits, it was heartbreaking. Mattie up and leaves to Washington. She doesnt want any friends, or a man either, but that doesn’t stop Cade.
As the story unfolds, we learn other sides of this story and how some actions came to be and why, and i was so surprised and angry!
This is a must read as it wasnt what I expected it to be at all.
Intentional, by M.K. Harkins, is an inspirational contemporary romance. I found this book to be well written with captivating characters with the added dynamic of different POVs throughout. I really like when authors do this as it gives more into the story being told and allows the reader insight into what the other characters are thinking and their motives. This story is not overloaded with unneeded extras that sometimes weigh a story down. The lead female, Mattie, certainly does not have the easiest choices given or thrown at her within this novel. However, I did like how the author portrayed this particular character. Even if the reader may or may not agree with her choices, they were hers to make and to find where she ultimately feels her life needs to be.

I have been so lucky to read a few books by this author now and I absolutely love her writing style. Her writing flows so seamlessly and her books really are a pleasure to read. Like I say having read a few books by Ms Harkins now I knew that I would be in for something good and I was right. Intentional was a beautifully written story, full of emotional, angst, twists and turns and of course some romance! The characters were amazing – I really liked Mattie, I thought she was genuine and down to earth and I had a few butterflies when she met Cade! Who wouldn’t be I have to say – tattooed, sexy, rock band member and a professional during the day! Just when I thought I could settle in and enjoy Mattie and Cade along come a twist and a twist I’m not sure whether I liked or not!!
This is definitely a book where things may not always be as they seem and I cannot wait to get my teeth into book 2! Another fabulous book by this amazing author and I highly recommend that you one click it today!!
Intentional is Book 1 in a new series from author
M K Harkins. This is my third book from this author and she continues to get better and better. I seriously have no words with how captivating and brilliant this book was. I could not put it down!
This is one book that going into too much detail will give too much plot or exciting information away so this review is going to be short & sweet!
I loved everything about this read. The plot, the characters, places in which the story was set. This is a book filled with love, friendship and heartbreak, betrayal and forgiveness. This is filled with twists and turns that completely throws you but you can’t help but still be totally and utterly captivated by this read!
All these are amazing characters just make this read that even more impressive. M.K Harkins have given us 4 amazing main characters and secondary characters that help support and impact the story even more.
I loved that we got multiple POV’s from our main characters Mattie, Jeremy, Sarah & Cade, I liked that we could read everything from their POV, find out how and why and also their reasons and actions for what they do.
M.K Harkins has made an incredible read that should be read by all! I can’t wait to see what else she bring to this series and what other works this author can do!

This was an easy read that pulled my heart strings. The characters are amazing and well written and I love their quirkiness and the way they joked around. The storyline was amazing but arggg I knew what was going to happen because I read book two first… This is a love story with lots of drama and a few twists thrown in.

Intentional by MK Harkins is book one in the Intentional series. What a deceptively fantastic story. I did not realise what this book was going to turn into at the finish. It was a puzzle at the start and just gained in intensity and excellence. From the way the story was written to the varied complexity of each character, Intentional evolved into a daring and dramatic saga that had me entranced.
Mattie and Jeremy’s story was heartache and a lot of intrigue. Throw in the surprise that was Cade, and readers should strap themselves in for an epic and exciting story. The most important element of all was the love that radiated from the pages. From discovery to parting, to rekindling the passionate and all consuming love that will burn eternal, Mattie takes a chance and even though danger lurks where it is least expected, both her and Jeremy come out as victors. 5 stars.
Okay there was a lot of emotions in this story! Intentional by M.K. Harkins was quite the adventure. I have to admit there were times in the beginning where I felt like I was reading a textbook with the way things were written and it jumped around a lot. But as the story continued it smoothed out and I started to get into it more. Mattie is your typical ridiculously nice girl. One of those people who it’s so hard to dislike. Jeremy is the well off lawyer who wants to settle down but doesn’t know how as work is his life. They are perfect for each other. But that perfection makes someone else incredibly unhappy. After leaving everything she loved behind Mattie meets someone who changes everything. There were quite a few twists and turns in this story but it really made it all the better. The ending was adorable able I’m so looking forward to reading more!
Intentional by MK Harkins is the first book in the Intentional Series. Intentional will keep you guessing, it is filled with suspense, drama and romance. I could not put Intentional down, it kept me engaged from the first page all the way to the last page. It was nice to read the different POVs from the main characters. You were able to see their different personalities come out when they were telling their story. The writing flows and is very descriptive to where you feel like you are there with the characters and feel the emotions they are going through. I cannot wait to read the next book in the series, definitely recommend reading Intentional.
This is my favorite book by this author. I loved it and read it in one sitting. I love how she has the ability to pull me into her story and keep me engaged until the end. Her characters are both connectable and lovable. I love the chemistry Mattie and Jeremy have together. Their story has a little bit of everything in it from betrayal to romance. They took me on some twists and turns that I did not see coming. You don’t want to miss what happens. A must read!

5 out of 5 stars
The story Intentional (Intentional Series Book 1) by M.K. Harkins is a contemporary romance book. This is a story that took me on an emotional ride from beginning to end. It hooked me in from the start and I didn’t want to put it down until I had finished the final page. It is a story that will have you feeling both the high of falling in love and the low of heartbreak. I fell in love with the story and I enjoyed reading about the characters of Mattie and Jeremy. Mattie is a beautiful and strong woman who runs a successful business. She is someone that I would want as a friend. She also has had her share of heartache. Her emotions run deep and sometimes memories haunt her. Jeremy had never met a woman that made him feel like Mattie does. He is someone that has the need for order and control in his life, however, he is finding that Mattie is quickly becoming the one that he is falling for. He is finding that she is stealing his heart. Their attraction/connection to each other starts almost immediately. When a betrayal occurs it has Mattie looking to start over. Another character that I loved reading about is Cade. He is a handsome and talented man who doesn’t do long-term relationships. Then he meets Mattie. Reading about these three characters at times had my emotions torn. This is a well-written romance story that I will not soon forget. I highly recommend reading and as it is part of a series I look forward to reading the next book.

This is my second book by this author and I loved it. I’ll be honest at the beginning it felt different, everything seemed to happen so fast but then when the “event” happened I realized why everything happened the way it did. I knew something was wrong and something was going to happen, I just couldn’t figure out what it was, and it blew me away, totally blindsided me.
This had a great storyline, and once I got going I loved the flow of everything, the characters were great and I was unable to put the book down once I got started. I loved the way this author described the surroundings and I completely appreciated how clean the author kept everything. I didn’t really realize this until I was done because I was so in to the story but it was actually kind of nice not to have a sex scene every other page, not that I don’t enjoy those scenes because I do but this was a nice change as well.
I also liked that we got all the POV’s throughout, I love knowing what everyone is thinking and it was done in a way that I never had to guess what was going on.
This was an all around great book and I had all the feels while reading this story. This author covered it all and I can not wait to see what happens in the next book which I’ll be reading as soon as Im done with this review.
I absolutely loved it!!
Awesome read! Team Cade!
I had trouble getting into this book in the beginning. It wasn’t the story, it’s a wonderful love story. I just haven’t read many books written in present tense and that took some getting used to.
Once I got beyond that, I devoured this book. It’s a great read with really fun characters and a villain you’ll love to hate. I enjoyed the sweet romance and the way MK brought the characters together…twice. I don’t want to add much detail to avoid spoilers, but I will tell you, through the first 1/2 of the book, I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop. When it did, oh boy did things change.
I thought Mattie’s character was very real and very likeable. I always questioned Jeremy a bit, only because he seemed a little too perfect. And as perfect as Cade was, I felt comfortable with him right away.
Intentional is the perfect summer beach read. You’ll fall in love more than once and in the end, you’ll beg for more.
