Release Blitz with Review: Kiss My Ash by Leddy Harper

 

Kiss My Ash, an all new Sexy Taboo standalone Romance by Leddy Harper is NOW AVAILABLE!

 
 
Ash Jenkins was the typical boy next door. Wait, who am I kidding? There was nothing typical about that boy.

He was tall, ripped, and had the voice of a man twice his age. Intelligent, sexy as sin, and barely legal.

Sent to live with his dad after getting in some trouble with the law, he was definitely someone I needed to stay away from.

But he had his sights set on me, and he didn’t try to hide it.

Did it still make me a cougar if I was the prey?

My rating:  5 stars

I really do love a good older woman/younger man story, probably because I am attracted to younger men.  Usually not this much younger, but I really liked the way this story was done.  Ash knew what he wanted,  the 32 year old single mother who moved in next door.  Ash was only 17, and knew that he needed to wait until he was 18.  Ash had a not so great past, and so was now doing his best to be a good person.  Not only that, he really started to like Kristy more than just wanting to hook up with her, the more he made her wait until he was 18.  Now, he kept his true age from her, and made her think he just wanted to get to know her better first.  When she found out how old he really was, well, Kristy knew that it wasn't okay.  As a single mom, her daughter came first.  Ash understood that as the child of divorced parents.  He'd wished his mom had done the same for him.  

I really loved how the whole thing played out.  I felt like Kristy was very realistic in how she behaved and reacted.  I mean, she could have lost her daughter, her job, etc., for messing around with a 17 year old boy.  And even once he was 18, it was still better to not flaunt it.  Another thing I liked is that Ash was really chasing her.  In fact, the last line of the synopsis is one that really rings with me.  I like younger guys, but don't feel like a cougar, because I am not a forward person, one who would go out and chase a guy.  So this is definitely my kind of romance.  It had steamy parts, when he was 18, and also some very emotional parts, when things looked like they couldn't go on. Oh yeah, and all the puns that Kristy came up with Ash's name, like the title of the book, loved those!

Glad to find a new author that I'll be checking out more books from in the future!

BLURB


I fell in love with Holden York when I was six years old.

Most of my youth came with spiral notebooks filled with doodles, wedding plans, and “Janelle York” looped in bubbly handwriting.

However, one night in Vegas changed everything.

I woke up to more than just a fantasy of my brother’s best friend.

Five years later, I'm standing on his doorstep confronting him about the secret he kept from me. 

If you think this is the story of how we rode off into the sunset together…

 You’re so wrong.

But if you think this is the story of how Holden blackmailed me into living with him...

 You couldn't be more right.

My Review:

I could barely put this book down. And when I had to put it down, all I could think about was when I could pick it back up and find out what would happen next.  This book had emotions from one end of the spectrum clear to the other end!  I would be laughing out loud at one point, hot and bothered at other parts, and I had tears welling up in my eyes at other parts.

A lot of the time in books when the two main characters are doing things to get back at the other, I get annoyed.  But not so with this book.  Every time it happened I totally understood why they did it, and was okay with it.  Except, the very last part, I won't say what, but the big blow up that almost ended the relationship for good, I was irritated with the one of the main characters that didn't even take the time to ask for an explanation.  Of course that person did that a few other times when overhearing comments or taking comments the wrong way.  So I guess it made sense for them to do it again at the end.  

The supporting characters, pretty much all of Janelle's family, along with Holden's secretary, were all so well written and really helped move the story along perfectly. They were there when needed, and they are part of the reason that I was so close to crying at one part of the book.  I mean, come on, some of the issues the family had been through, and the fact that they didn't bother to call and tell Janelle about them, well that was wrong.  And any family like that, well no wonder Janelle felt left out, and I feel like it was her family in the wrong in that case.  

You really need to read this book.  I could not help but root for Janelle, and really be mad at Holden, even though we do get his side.  I liked that we got the alternating viewpoints from the two characters, as I've mentioned before, that is something I seem to like a lot these days.  Highly recommended, and now I'm off to add this author's other books to my TBR.
