Wow!! PACIFIC BLUE by Kristina Luckey Blew me away and she is New Author for me!! Once I started, I could not put it down and DEVOURED it in one sitting!
Piper and Alex’s Storytelling was Beautifully Written and the their chemistry was off the Charts HOT! Also their banter between the two was hilarious and witty with coastal views of California.
PACIFIC BLUE is definitely a MUST Read BOOK and Swoon-Worthy Romance that has you wanting more!!
This is such a great series! I love that it has a coastal setting. The characters are very well written and mesh well together. There is so much angst and sizzle I loved this book so much! I can’t wait to read more from Kristina!
A beautiful story. I especially enjoyed the description of all of Piper’s art, I really could visualise exactly what it would look like. The writing and descriptions of this story was inspiring. The author certainly has a talent for enabling the reader to be in the scene with the characters. The romantic story of Piper and Alex was good. Two people who were not getting married or having children brought together by fate. A great story that I could not put down.
Filled with emotion and heat Pacific Blue completely knocked me off my feet! I was fully unprepared for how much this book got to me. Kristina Luckey has a way of writing that really brings her characters to life and causes them to feel like they are living in your heart. You can feel practically every emotion as they go through the ups and downs of life and love.
Alex and Piper have some seriously electric chemistry. Right from the start you can feel the sparks pinging between them even as they banter in a way that sparks the same feeling of a good enemies to lovers read, but these two are not quite enemies. As they dance around (sometimes literally ) the attraction between them that chemistry keeps pulling them closer and closer together. I had a fantastic time reading this and can’t wait to get my hands on more from this author.
Pacific Blue is the first book I have read by Kristina Luckey. I am now a big fan and will be reading whatever she has out. I really enjoyed the style and all the details she gave. It made you feel you were there and you could envision what she was happening. Piper is an artist that has been working in an art gallery and was promised a showing of her work, so imagine her surprise when she gets to work one day and her key no longer works. Alex has bought the gallery and plans to make it more upscale. He will not be showing any of the promised shows, He hires Piper to help him send back the art that is there. Sparks fly between these two. Piper is a strong woman, and knows what she wants and won’t bow down to her family or anyone else. Alex also has strong views, but he steps in and helps Piper out at a family function by standing up to her father and brothers. He does not like how they treat her. They are both so attracted to each other, but scared to admit or mess up the work relationship. Alex doesn’t believe in love or want it because he may have a gene that causes early dementia that his mom had. Piper is focused on making it and not worried about marriage or a family. Oddly that is normally when love sneaks up on you, and in this case love conquers all. Alex really grew and changed once he decided he wanted to pursue a relationship with Piper. The boat trip was amazing. I loved the ending!! I want to gush about so many things, but do not want to ruin anything for you, so pick up this one and read it. I could not put it down!
loved this story about alex and piper. Alex an euntipuner and piper an artist who doesnt want to conform. This book had me wanting more from them and loving every bit of their story. The author did a great job with this book! you wont be disappointed.
A lovely read. Piper the struggling artist and Alex the new owner/investor of the gallery. An easy read with well written characters. Not too much drama and a HEA.
Alex and piper have such chemistry. But love always wins out.
The main characters were good ones. They each had their own challenges of course. Petite Piper had huge passion but just couldn’t seem to catch a break professionally. Even though her art was top flight. She defined the phrase of struggling artist.
Alex was trying his best to get his premier gallery off the ground. He needed known, established, money making artist to make that work. He had no time for the work of unknown artist Piper. Oh, you know they are going to butt heads.
This was an emotional story with several other issues but with also some good secondary people in the story. I liked Alex’s brother Nick and the hovering health question. Piper’s mother and father loved her but man could they push their agenda’s. I liked how well Alex understood how Piper was feeling. He observed that on one hand her father called her his princess and then proceeded to then verbally tear her down. To him that was NOT okay.
There is also well detailed locales, well detailed food and drink. Also some underwater adventures as well.
I liked how the story ended, complete with a good Epilogue.
“I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.”
I liked the slow burning pace, drama, funny moments and I felt like I was right there with the characters. The characters Piper and Alex were so opposite of eachother, and they had a two steps forward, one step back kind of relationship, that I couldn’t help but pull for them. Pacific Blue is the first novel I have read from this author, and I will definitely be looking forward to reading more of her stories.
Piper and Alex’s chemistry was off the charts in this steamy novel by Kristina Lucky. Struggling artist Pipers plans are thrown off when the gallery she works for is suddenly bought without her knowledge. Throw in a hot new boss and a sassy attitude and the sparks are insane. I can’t wait until the next in the series.
So I liked this book. I liked the different cultures were brought in and mixed so beautifully into the story line. I liked Piper. She was all full of fire. She knew she loved creating beautiful sea sculptures and wanted them in the Pacific Blue gallery. She was dynamite on the dance floor and stood up for herself when it was needed. Her father wanted certain things to happen to her and that’s not what she wants. She wants her art, dance and diving to get some amazing pics for inspiration. Her world is turned upside down when Alex enters her life.
Alex comes off as kinda of a douche at first. I mean, he’s from a well known family, who’s worth billions. He keeps that part a secret. He’s been everywhere and has done everything(this got annoying after a while). Despite all the money the family has, it is broken. The boys including his dad, haven’t got over their mom’s death and the genetic gene they may or may not carry. Alex blows this off time and time again. He does get better and shows us a side I didn’t know was possible. He loves art and wants to promote true talent, this hurts and helps careers with him including Piper. He hurts her. I also liked how the author would just slide into the point of views without having it on the header. It worked so much better that way. I liked this book and the characters.
I enjoyed the journey piper and Alex went through together in order to find their future! Both had a set plan on what they expected but plans were derailed when they met!
Piper was unsure of her future and what would come of her passion she just knew art was all she had room for while Alex was set on what he wanted and where it would lead! Neither wanted love and neither even anticipated it but the thing is love has its own agenda! With untold truths threatening to ruin it all both have to find what they want and if their plans have room for adjustment!
Piper is a sea life sculptor who despite her family’s disapproval of her career, works hard to get her work noticed. Unfortunately she hasn’t had much luck getting her work displayed in a gallery. Alex is the new owner of Pacific Blue Gallery. He isn’t an artist himself, but he appreciates art and those that create it. His challenge is to have PBG up and running within a month. Unfortunately for him, he finds himself butting heads with a certain artist.
Alex doesn’t need any distractions and Piper won’t stand for anyone getting in the way of her dreams, but their growing attraction has other ideas.
This novel was so swoony! Alex and Piper are such a likable couple. It was impossible not to root for them the whole time. Whether it was cheering Piper on in her career or seeing Alex successfully get the gallery going or to seeing them finally give into their growing attraction, I cheered them on the entire way.
Kristina Luckey has penned a great contemporary romance with beautiful backdrops and a couple I loved to see get their HEA. The romance was 100% there and the beautiful coastal descriptions make Pacific Blue a perfect summer read. 5 stars.
I really enjoyed Piper and Alex’s story. Art brought them together but their souls recognized it’s mate. Piper is fiery and independent. Alex is trying to make his own mark on the world. When the two collide the earth stops spinning for just a moment for them to come to a common ground, for love is it’s own form of art. I loved the descriptions of Piper’s art and you can’t help but cheer her on to her success.
Alex had never believed on one true love. The soul mate thing pure fantasy, or so he thought. But he and piper were two amazing halves. Singular, active, productive but put them together and life seemed limitless.” ~ Alex
My first book from this author and I loved it. I loved it even more because the characters ethnically diverse. We definitely need more of this.
This is book 2 in the Coastal romance series. Piper is an artist. She is up and coming with her sculptures. She also works as an assistant at the art gallery she is trying to show her work. Standing inside the building she works at she meets Alex. He just bought the place and is changing it in a premier gallery. These 2 butt heads but have grest chemistry. I enjoyed reading this book. Can’t wait to see what comes next in the series.
I enjoy a strong female character and Piper definitely fit the part. This is a woman who knows what she wants and even when things are against her, she doesn’t give up ~ I loved her tenacity. After reading about her amazing art pieces, I wanted to see it. My imagination ran away with the beautiful description of her work, I love when a book can make you feel that way! I also liked the fact the Alex came from a rich family but was encouraged to make his own way, that he followed a dream and stayed focused. I also like that we seen a weakness in Alex that he was able to overcome. The secondary characters were amazing and helped push the story along perfectly.
Great book. I fell in love with the main characters. I could not put this book down and I really enjoyed reading this book. Definitely recommended.
Both Alex and Piper didn’t want babies or marriage. They cared about their career. Her art, his studio. When he bought out her job and she lost her opportunity to showcase her art, she was mad. The more time they spent together, their attraction grew. It was slow burning and hot. Faith had its way with them and changed their life. Cute book.
