Hiring a crush is foolish. Hiring an obsession is downright dangerous.I’ve built an empire I’d die to protect, only to plant a landmine at its center. Keely Doyle is the air in my lungs. The blood in my veins. The muse to my madness.Because of her, I’m worth millions. And because of her, I might lose it all.
This was my first KB book…it was so good! I loved that I was able to jump into this series and not be totally lost, but I really loved the story she created! Ethan & Keely were so entertaining! I loved that they had so much history between them and that they tried to fight/hide their love for each other. I liked that there were enough twists & turns to keep the book moving without making it frustrating to read. I will definitely be going back to read the first two books!!
As the first book by KB that I’ve read, I thoroughly enjoyed the slow burn in the beginning that grew into all fire baby! I enjoyed the sarcastic witty humour and I am looking forward to binge reading her other books!
So this is the brother I’ve been waiting for, since the first book. Don’t get me wrong I loved all of Jason’s suited up hotness and Luke the tatted up god of a man, but Ethan’s character claimed me. He is the sensitive one, but was a mystery. He was always away from his family, but would fight tooth and nail for them, and some readers thinks he is an a-hole, which totally means he is the character for me. Keely his best friend is a young bright twenty two year old. She wears her heart on her sleeve. This story has all the feels in it. KB Cinder knows how to make you laugh. She has a way with words, phrases that will make you laugh so hard you’ll probably start snorting at one point. The way she explains things, honestly there is no one else like her. The supporting characters especially Lil was fantastic and damn I hope I rock at life like she does. She is now my ideal of the perfect grown up I want to be. If you haven’t checked out KB Cinder and her boys please do you will not be disappointed. I can’t wait to see what Cinder comes up with next.
Sweet and precious. I loved this book. I thoroughly enjoyed the love hate relationship that the brothers have, they constantly made me laugh. The side characters were very well written. I loved Lil so much. And when the MC’s finally got together, flames burned. I had a very difficult time putting it down.
This is my first book by this author. It was slow to start for me. But I t is full to bursting with colorful, funny characters like Lil and Stanley. Love the brothers crazy antagonistic relationship. I love the snarky humor throughout the story. The hero and heroine were hella hot once they got together.
Enjoyed
This book made me feel like I was on a roller coaster from the beginning to the end. With Ethan being so secretive and brooding to Keely being so open and light hearted. It was definitely an opposites attract situation that had a slow burn which eventually combusted. I was almost finished reading this book and I still wasn’t sure how I felt about it all but once it was completed and I did a bit of a recap I decided it was a pretty great story with lots of twists and turns to keep you on the end of your seat.
The twists in this tale just adds spice to an already exciting and adventurous tale
that will shock you. I highly recommend this tale and eagerly await the next book in this series.
The writing draws you in and keeps you involved throughout the whole story, I found myself in love with not only the characters but also the world that was created.
The descriptions of the characters and their feelings are so involved, you can truly picture it in your mind. Their attitudes toward the events that are happening makes the story even richer.

This is a well-written Emotional book with Characters having baggage that must be worked out. Each one of these books in Series is different, just like people they have different personalities. I love the interactions of the characters and it is downright explosive when they finally get together. These characters have attitude, which is great. Loved it. Must Read

This was a great book! It had an original storyline that had me hooked from the very beginning. This was book three of the Barrett Brothers series. Ethan Barrett was taken by Keely Doyle since the night he first saw her on the subway. They have been best friends for two years. But one night changed everything for them. A text meant for someone else. The night ending like none other. Ethan had a secret he was hiding from the world. The person Keely thought she knew she would soon find out she didn’t really know at all. I highly recommend this book!
I really enjoyed reading this book. It had me sitting on the edge of my seat from the first page and I couldn’t put it down. It took me on an emotional roller coaster ride. It had some hot and steamy scenes. It was a best friends to lovers romance. It was quite suspenseful and entertaining and finished with a lovely HEA.

The great plot was well written and the characters were so well developed that as I turned each page the chemistry between the characters kept me totally hooked until the very last page!

Painted Love is the third book in the Barrett Brothers series. You can read this as a stand-alone but I urge you to read the first two books first.
This one is all about Ethan..Ethan, Ethan, Ethan….
He’s so different from his brothers. He irked me a bit with his jerkness(it’s a new word-so new it’s probably not in the dictionary yet)
Anyhoo…
With this book, you have more angst with a morsel of intrigue. Both MCs are a bit broken but once the finally get together it’s so sexy!
All of the characters are very well written. I love the snark and witty banter.
I highly recommend this series.
KB Cinder is officially a one-click for me.

This is book three in the Barrett brothers series. This one is all about Ethan Barrett. Because of her, he has been inspired to make millions but she also has the power to shatter his heart. She has been his best friend forever but he has been thinking about her as more. Her name is Keely. Ethan has hired her and she is working with him every da, Ethan soon learns that this is either going to work out to a HEA of blow up badly in his face. Do Ethan and Keely have a shot at a HEA, of course they do but can they hold strong through the lies as the truths surface and come out on top? Honesty, I found this book a little more reliant on the previous two in the series. Another great story with an injection of humor just when you least expect it. Enjoy!

I found it very hard to get into this story. I’m not sure if it was me or the book, but I couldn’t seem to engage with it. The outline seemed good, I loved the friends keely had in lil and jorge and the banter between the brothers which something’s seemed on the edge at times. Good read.
The good character and storyline development kept me totally engaged throughout the entire book! I look forward to reading more from this author!
