A quick and easy read, predictable but satisfying ending. However, the smugness and entitled attitude of the lead female is irritating and by the end means you don’t really care if she gets her HEA or not. Not sure why authors can’t just write ‘normal’ characters onto these books…….

I really enjoyed this book! This is my first read from Harleigh Beck.
I liked the connection between Katherine and Kingsley. And you could feel that connection right from the beginning! The spicy scenes were great! Although sometimes it felt as if they weren't high school students but in their early 20's which was slightly confusing. Katherine went from high school aged virgin to porn star rather quickly. Being an adult entertainer and using drugs didn't seem to fit her personality of how it was portrayed in the beginning. However I really liked that Katherine did everything she set out to do even it it didn't end up the way she thought it would.
Kingsley is so swoon worthy and even though he thought he had nothing to offer he was everything!
The relationship between Katherine and Geoffrey was well written and pulled at my heart strings and him getting sick was so heartbreaking and sad and in the end Katherine did what was right by him.
In the end Katherine never gave up and fought for what she wanted.
I will definitely be reading more of Harleigh's books in the future!

I wasn't sure if I would like the characters in this book going by the premise.
It didn't follow the route that I thought it was going to go, but in a good way.
The opening of the female lead just deciding to become a pornstar because she had a crush on a male pornstar was quite ridiculous but u liked the journey the story took to the hea.

I don't know where to start with this book. Seriously, it's such a beautiful story that grows as you read...
I was hooked from the first sentence, the prologue is one of the best I've ever read! As I went through the pages I thought about the prologue and I was like.....what the hell!? I am very confused!!! The author knew how to play her cards to keep me on edge about that particular thing happening on the prologue.
And I fell in love with Kitty.... my Kitty

Review of “Kitty Hamilton” by Harleigh Beck - review copy
After I read my first book from Harleigh, I was sold right away. So when I found out, that Kitty was on the Way out, I was excited about is was the same as counterbet or something else.
Katherine Hamilton has lived her life below the radar until one day when she accidentally spills her coffee on Hunter Wood, a renowned porn star. It's love at first sight, or at least it is for Katherine, who then decides to pursue a career in porn to make Hunter fall in love with her. There's only one problem. Katherine is a virgin.
Kingsley Delanoy is a drifter in the world with a passion for BMX. He's catnip to the girls at school with his brown eyes and wisps of dark hair peeking out from beneath his backward cap.
Who better to teach Katherine everything she needs to learn to prepare her for the world of porn than Kingsley?
Armed with a new alias, Kitty sets her sights on Hunter Wood. But there is a lot more to the brooding, unattainable Kingsley than first meets the eye, and soon Kitty has a choice to make.
The heart is a fickle thing. It doesn't always know what it wants. How do you figure out its calling before it's too late?
Assessment:
I felt right away a connection with Kitty, and at the same time I could feel her feelings so much, that I thought it was me going trough, that she did - and l loved it. I really like the conversations between Kitty and Hunter, because there is said even more than there is written - and Harleigh is so good at making it believable enough for the reader. The cover is beautiful and you get a snip of what the book is about, but there is hiding a something bigger than that behind the cover and it so amazing. I’m totally fan of the way that Harleigh get the reader so fast and invite the reader to the story by the first word.
I’m giving 6 burning hearts out of 6 burning hearts, because when I was done, I didn’t have any words left because I was melted to the ground, and lived half in a freezer…. I was amazed and loving the story so bad, and I look forward to the next book from Harleigh…
If you haven’t read anything from yet - get starting your melting process…

An odd read, but overall I enjoyed it
Katherine (Kitty) gives me neurodivergent vibes. I couldn't quite put my finger on it the whole book. I really didn't expect the last 30% of the book. Beck's other books are labeled dark high school romances, and this is one as well.

Woah.
Spicy much?
Sooo... all of a sudden @60%, this book got kind of, deep?
OBSESSED.
At the beginning, it was REALLY spicy, and I just-I just- I JUST-
it was spicy.
It was REALLY spicy, and at first I though it was going to stay that way the entire book which I didn't like btw, but then the book BLEW. MY. MIND. Like, woahhhhhh! There were SO. MANY. twists and turns and insane things happening that I couldn't put my Kindle down! And the ending was SO CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!! Definitely 18+ though, because... yeah. But I HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend!!!!!!! and it isn't just about the romance, either. It talks about grief, addictions, and basically following your heart which I KNOW sounds super cheesy, but the way the book does it, it is SO MOVING!
Also, no need to remind me how many caps I used in this review, because I get it. I am a very enthusiastic human being.
