Such a pleasure being back in the world of Kill John! I’ve loved the previous three books, and this one no less. I love the author’s writing style, mixing passion with humor and yummy sexy times. You fall in love with the characters and enjoy their adventures as they fight and love their way through to their HEA.
Brenna and Rye have known each other since the band formed when they were teenagers. Brenna is Killian’s cousin and she’s been their first fan, even when their sound wasn’t so good. She had a huge crush on Rye, which Killian cut short immediately. So Rye resorted to ridiculing her to make her hate him. This started their long standing tradition of bickering and taking shots at each other.
One day Brenna was complaining with Jules (Scottie’s assistant) that she needed to have someone, not just for a one night stand, but to take care of her needs, to have something more than a fling but not a relation. While she was confessing to Jules, Rye was in the next table, eavesdropping. He immediately decided that if Brenna was going to start something, it would be with him and no other. It took some convincing but they did start a secret relation.
Their road was not without a lot of trouble, misunderstandings, and near misses. But the beautiful part was how the feelings developed, how they started missing each other when they were not together, the considerate ways Rye treated Brenna and how he was slowly crumbling her defensive walls. She had a lot of defenses, produced by her parents constant criticisms. My feeling is that they were always in love with each other but circumstances convinced them it was impossible and they would not work out.
The writing was brilliant, the pace fantastic and the characters all lovable. I love the banter between the friends and how they come running when one is in trouble. Rye had a secret he was keeping from his friends; the scene when it came out and the guy’s reactions made me cry, it was so full of emotion and caring. This author reaches your heart with pure feeling and I finish her books feeling wrung out and happy.
