Brilliant! I enjoyed every single minute of Rum & Coke!! From the very first page I was hooked and didn’t want it to end. There was a little bit of everything you could want and then some in this story!! Ms. Knight always has a way of bringing her characters and stories to life and relatable in such a way that you can’t help but be completely immersed and invested them. It never fails, you pick up a book as strangers and you close it as friends.
Rum & Coke is a riveting, suspenseful, unique, and unputdownable read from Kimberly Knight.

A definite 5 star read!!!
Book 4 in the Saddles and Racks series won’t disappoint. Tessa and Vinny’s chemistry was felt immediately when they first met. I couldn’t wait for them to take their friendship to the next level. When it happened it was definitely worth the wait. Kimberly Knight threw some twists into the story that I was not expecting. My mistake was starting this book in the evening. I ended up staying up all night cause I could not put it down. It was worth it though!

Wow! Rum and Coke is another incredible book by the amazingly talented Kimberly Knight! I opened this book and did not put it down until I hit the last page! I loved Tessa and Vinny from the beginning but found myself loving them more and more with every page that I read. If you love beautiful, sexy, suspenseful stories than I highly recommend you get this book immediately! You will not be disappointed!!
Whoa! This book took me through a rollercoaster of emotion. I loved every minute of it and I couldn’t wait for the bad guy to get what was coming to him for doing what he did. Vinny is the kind of guy that most women would want, even if he is an escort. Tessa is just trying to do the best that she can with the circumstances she’s in. Even though she was going through hell she held strong. Vinny never gave up even when it seemed like it was hopeless. I loved them both and couldn’t wait for them to get their HEA.
This runs parallel to other books in the series, so make sure to read them in order to get the full effect. If you can read the Club 24 books you’ll get a little more enjoyment as well.

Vinny and Tessa’s story is definitely different for the other couples. They meet at Gabe’s bachelor party. They exchange numbers and claim they are not looking for a relationship. That all changes the more they spend time together. When they finally decide to start a relationship something happens to stop it from beginning. This story is full of emotions and takes you for ride that ends with a hea.

One heck of a emotionally charged beautifully written read that will take everything from you but will be worth every grueling word! You will laugh and you will ugly cry but will be entertained throughout to pick up the ugly pieces as you taken on a suspense filled unique storyline that grabs hold of you from the start keeping you hostage to very end with an amazing HEA that makes all the raw ugly, fuming mad and wanting to throw your kindle but unwillingly to move or look away getting mad at your fingers for not turning the pages fast enough a memorable read that will continue to linger long after the last word has been read! An amazing must read that will break you, make you laugh, bring a bundle of smiles, tick you off and touch you deep with your soul as it slowly repairs the scraps and bruises it inflicts upon you along the way!
Rum and Coke by Kimberly Knight was an awesome read. I loved Vinny and Tessa’s story so much. This book takes you on a wild ride of emotions. It is lots of twist and turns and will grip your heart. It does have a beautiful HEA that I absolutely loved. I highly recommend this book and can’t wait for the next one.
Fabulous! Kimberly does it again! This book is a rollercoaster of emotions, and I couldn’t put it down! This story is jam packed with love, suspense, friendship, thrill, and romance. The story is revolves around Tessa, a single mom, and Vinny. Both work in the adult entertainment industry and randomly meet. Sparks fly instantly. The two fall for one another, yet face unbelievable circumstances to drive them apart. Will true love win out in the end?!
I also love that Kimberly bring in characters from previous books. All of the Saddles & Racks stories are woven throughout and are key in this story. Definitely read the other Saddles & Racks books before starting this one.
I devoured this book! Kimberly hit all the right notes with this story, building a solid foundation between her two leads with witty banter and steamy chemistry. I think Vinny is my new favorite leading male in the S&R series. There were several times I was chomping at the bit, keeping my fingers crossed that things would work out the way I hoped. When I finally reached the last page, I was elated and exhausted because Kimberly had wrung the entire emotion spectrum out of me! I can’t wait to see where she takes us next.
