Happy Release Day Jillian Dodd! Adore Me The Keatyn Chronicles Book 4.5


Keatyn has arrived!!  Woo Hoo! 

Rating:  5 out of 5 stars

How are the story lines? 
Amazing 

How are the sex scenes? 
saucy and spicy without the descriptive details
it's tame but heated

Would you read it again?
Absolutely! 

Ah-mazing.

Ro-mantical.

Swoon-erific.

Yep I made a few of those up. But this book deserves new and fantastical words to describe it. Best of the series so far and there's still 2 more books to go.

I received an ARC of this book courtesy of the author in a contest for the Keatyn Chronicles. As a team Captain, I had the honor of participating in a huge challenge all about this series. If you haven't even started it yet. Run... don't walk - to pick up book 1 Stalk Me. You'll be as hooked as I am. I can't get enough of Keatyn and her luscious Eastbrooke boys and her back home gang. They are all swoonworthy and have such great personalities. BUT - that being said. This series is also enjoyable beyond the abs to die for. The Hottie Hangovers are great, don't get me wrong. But Keatyn. She's something special as the female MC.

I have yet to fall in love with the female lead. Usually they are whiney, weak or broken in some capacity and want the "savior hero" to come fix them and their issues. Not Keatyn. She's independent, sweet, funny, kind, confident, vulnerable and adorable. She's got a fashion sense that will knock you off your Manolo Blahniks and a personality that will make you proud that you're part of the same sex group.

Please - if you read a new series, pick this one. I promise you won't regret it.

Adore Me is romantic, funny, sad and amazing all packaged into one. You'll run the gamut of emotions while reading this Novella. It helps answer some left over questions from Love Me and keeps you guessing what's next in Hate Me. It's the right mix of brain exercise in that it will make you question everything you ever thought about MoonBoy. Are you still sure you're confident in your choice? Or is there a possibility that it's another? Oh what a tangled web she weaves.

Read it. You must.

Book Blurb: 

Alistair Ingram is finally the man he wants to be, with the woman he wants to be with. No longer ruled by his manager, producer, agent or fans’ desires, he and Bethany “Black Betty” Stavars have settled into his LA mansion and have started a life together. Everything is as it should be…until he gets the call that Bethany has been brutally attacked in their home.

Alistair can barely stand to see Bethany’s bruised and battered body, but that’s not the worst of her injuries. She regains consciousness thinking she’s still married to her ex-husband—the man responsible for putting her in the hospital in the first place—and has no recollection of being with Alistair.

Unable to coax her brain into giving her any memories of the past ten years of her life, Bethany struggles to comprehend how she could’ve ended up on the other side of the country—California instead of Florida—and living with superstar actor, Alistair Ingram. Even worse, how had she become a dominatrix at a Vegas men’s’ club?

Lucky for her, the past few months have been detailed in black and white newsprint in every gossip magazine she can get her hands on.

With their relationship hanging in the balance, there’s only one thing Alistair can do. Jog her memory the best way he knows how. In bed.


Review:  

Oh Alistair, how I remember you.  All of your pretty boy charm and your pretty boy good looks.  You haven't changed a bit.  

I loved where this book takes you.  You get to see a softer side of Black Betty aka Bethany and it's a refreshing turn to see her be her "normal" self.  It was hard to see them go through the agony of the memory loss but you really got a feel for how much Alistair loves Bethany and how much he wants to be her one and only.  I also enjoyed the fact that even through the memory loss, Bethany could still feel the connection she has with our Pretty Boy.  

I felt like this was a good easy read.  Had plenty of intrigue and plot to support it and I enjoyed seeing the changes in the relationship.  I recommend this one and look forward to seeing what Bethany does to become one person, the person she has always truly been.
