MY REVIEW
The story of Kevin Clearwater was an intensely emotional read filled with suspense and plot twists that will keep you fully engaged from beginning to end. While this book had dark elements, I found this one not as dark as the others in the series.
Kevin a.k.a Nine has had a tragic and painful past. Passed around in the foster system, he has encountered abuse in many forms. He has basically spent most of his life doing whatever he needed to do to survive. Based on his past I actually expected him to be more damaged but a brief chance encounter with a girl sort of changes his life and gives him purpose to “be more”.
Nine is an extremely intelligent character. His character is violent only when he needs to be and I loved his fierce possessiveness and need to protect Lenny. Lenny has her own issues that she’s trying to deal with and the circumstances surrounding how Lenny and Nine meet set the stage for the mystery and thrill of the book.
The chemistry between Nine and Lenny is explosive! I loved that NIne as a ‘quite guy’ was a bit of a dirty talker in the bedroom. It made it that more sexier. They connect not only on a physical level but also on an emotional level. They come from two different worlds and live on opposite sides of the Causeway but they are both seeking a place to belong.
This book was ultimately about family and I seriously got emotional when King, Bear and Preppy welcomed Nine into the fold. These guys run Logan Beach, they are feared and they have earned the respect of everyone. They are ruthless and no one messes with them but they also have wives and kids who they adore and will die to protect. I love all these characters so much and I seriously enjoyed getting sentimental over the whole lot of them.
I absolutely enjoyed this fast paced, suspenseful and sexy edition to the King series!

Excerpt:
I look up into his dark eyes. “This is a dangerous game of cat and mouse we’re playing.”
“More like a game of cat and bird,” he corrects.
I straighten my posture, my nipples grazing his hard chest. “And we all know how that turns out in the end. The cat eats the bird.”
Nine lightly scrapes his nails over my bare arms before pressing them into my skin. I gasp at the slight bite of pain. “No, the pretty bird swoops down from nowhere and sinks her sharp talons into the cat, marking him for life.”
There’s no sarcasm in his voice. I don’t know how to begin to process what it is he’s saying. It takes all of my concentration to get out my next few words.
“And…and then what?”
Nine picks me up off the floor in one quick motion, flipping me back onto the bed. He crawls over my body, hovering above me, pinning my wrists to the mattress. He grazes his teeth over the sensitive spot behind my ear. He lowers his voice to a deliciously deep rumble that has me vibrating with his every word.
“And then he eats her.”
