Chelle’s collaboration with Eden brings you a friends/co-workers to lovers romance.
Kit Carlyle losses her cousin/BFF. The only family she had left. Her cousin leaves her with a bucket list of things to accomplish before her time comes. The only person Kit turns to for help is her friend/co-worker Kane. Kane agrees to be Kit’s wingman, but wonders how he will stay sane and not do something stupid with the woman he loves. As they work thru Kit’s bucket list the tension between them escalates, and then stalls. Kit is tired of Kade going from hot to cold, and back, since their drunken kiss that was aired nationwide. Kit decides to take the advice of two of her friends, and goes full out to make Kade jealous. Will Kit’s plan work. Will Kade be able to hold back any longer, or will he give in to his wants and desires for the woman he loves.
Falling for a co-worker doesn’t always bring you happiness, but sometimes it will. This is not a wam-bam thank you kind of story. Yes, there is a lot of sexual tension. However, there is a lot of depth to the characters. I volunteered to review an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
Nailed Down is the first in the new series by Chelle Bliss and Eden Butler and these two ladies are a force to be reckoned with. This is a friends to lovers romance that had me on the edge of my seat from start to finish. Kit and Kane’s story had my anxiety levels at an all time high and had me biting my finger nails as these two danced around their real feelings. I found their story to be one that had me holding my breath and not wanting to put the book down as I was afraid I might just miss something. Nailed Down is one of those romance stories that will have you so entranced you will find it hard to come back to the land of reality. The chemistry between these characters is nothing short of explosives and magical all at once. This book title describes exactly how I feel and that is I am totally nailed down to this series and cannot wait for the next addition to it. A total five star read that will leave any romance reader totally satisfied and with a big huge smile on their face.
Holy Shit……Chelle and Eden nailed it so hard with this book!!! Kane was a hot as hell, sexy as fuck alpha male and together with his gorgeous, independent strong-willed bestfriend their chemistry was intense to the point of explosive. Their story will entertain you, seduce you and sweep you off your feet with the laughs, sexiness and love between these amazing characters. This is one amazing story by two phenomenal authors that I highly recommend as a MUST read!
Nailed Down stars Kit and Kane who star in a home rehab show (it actually reminded me of Maine Cabin Builders on the DIY Network). They have worked together for years and both have a good reputation on the set. They are well liked, professional and know how to get things done.
Kane is SWOON WORTHY!!! I’m not sure I’ve described someone as SW in 2018, so congrats to Kane on being my first. There is just something about him that makes him a keeper. Kit is someone who I have a bit of a girl crush on and would want to be friends with in real life. Kit has been given a bucket list to complete at the suggestion of her best friend (there are some very exciting things on this list) and Kane helps her complete the tasks.
This story held my interest from beginning to end. The characters are well developed, the story line is plausible with just enough fantasy and the secondary characters kept me interested to meet them more in depth in future installments of this series.
I read this book from cover to cover in one sitting because I did not want to put it down.
I absolutely recommend this book!!!
5 star Review Nailed Down (Nailed Down Series #1) by Chelle Bliss & Eden Butler
I have read numerous books by Chelle Bliss but Eden Butler is a new author to me. The two authors obviously work well together as I was unable to determine where one author ended and the other picked up; a sign of a great collaboration .
This is a friends to lovers story and a genre that I love. Well written it had both sad and happy moments that made it one heck of a roller coaster ride to read.
When Kit Carylyle’s cousin dies, she leaves her with a bucket list to tick off and the only person she can envisage doing the list with is her long time friend, Kane.
Of course Kit is unaware that the feelings that Kane has for her are decidedly more than friendly. Kane is worried that crossing the line will result in him losing his best friend and co-worker and since he values their friendship he does not want to jeopardised it.
I fell for Kane right from the start, he was everything that I could imagine wanting and needing in my life and so much more. Kit broke my heart with the depth of her grief over her cousins’ death. The support and strength that Kane offers Kit as she goes through the bucket list was swoon worthy, not to mention that the chemistry between Kane and Kit was sizzling.
I cannot wait to read the next book in the series which is all about Kane’s brother Kiel.
One of my favorite story lines, friends to lovers, written by two of my absolute favorite authors?
Yes please!!
Nailed Down is book one in an all new series from the beautiful minds of Chelle Bliss and Eden Butler.
Kit & Kane are best friends, they work together and have a great on screen and offscreen relationship. When Kit’s cousin dies leaving her a bucket list she has to complete she knows the only person who can help her is Kane.
Kane would walk through fire for Kit but this bucket list has a few questionable things on it. Things he may think about but would never actually do, these things just aren’t suitable for friends.
Kit is a great female lead. She’s smart, independant if a little skittish. She simply needed to broaden her horizons a bit!
Kane is sexy as, well lets just say this man is not just a great friend who always has her back. He’s built, alpha to the max and completely lovable.
Nailed Down is well written, fast paced and a book that you will want to read from start to finish uninterrupted.
It’s as if it were written by one person, the authors writing blends together seamlessly.
Nailed Down is a beautiful Friends to Lovers story and if like me you love this genre this is a must read. Chelle Bliss is one of my go to authors but Eden Butler is relatively new to me so I wasn’t sure what to expect,well these two authors have done an brilliant job with this fun, flirty, witty love story.
Kane and Kit have been friends for many years but it’s only when Kit finds herself working through her fears on a bucket list that she gives in to her feelings for him. Kane becomes the guy by Kit’s side helping her achieve and tick off every item on the most important list she has ever had. Kane and Kit are both stubborn and headstrong but for me that was the best part of this story watching them give in to their feelings without losing themselves. This is beautifully written love story, the characters have chemistry, the banter between them is perfect and this book has just the right mix of romance, love and some seriously hot moments. I really don’t want to give to much of this story away so I’m going to leave you with this is a MUST READ BOOK!!!!!!!
