They were married but never kissed.
That night years ago never had consequences…until now.
“I wasn’t into the love bullshit and I didn’t really believe
in forever between two people.’’
If I had my way, I would have never seen Maxen Walton again,
the womanizing drummer of Kinky Shine.
When I met him in college he was already going through girls
as if they were disposable. I had always hated him. Yet, for some drunken
reason I ended up marrying him in Las Vegas. That night, right before I puked
in the fake flowers and left the tacky chapel was the last time I had laid eyes
on him.
Until my boyfriend asked me to marry him.
Now, I was in LA trying to get a divorce from my husband
without the press hearing about it.
What I didn’t expect was that my famous husband affected me
and that getting to know him would change a lot more than I ever planned.
“All I saw now was Lark, always and forever out of my reach,
always driving me crazy.’’
I had only ever met one woman who equally drove me crazy and
made me want her until I forgot my name.
Lark Hardin.
And I married her one crazy night in Las Vegas.
Freshly out of rehab and trying like hell to get back in the
game while convincing my best friend I wouldn’t relapse, seeing my wife again
was the last thing I needed for that.
Life liked f*cking with me, though.
Here she was, so sexy I would damn myself to be inside her
just once, but she wasn’t here for me. She was here to get a divorce so her
perfect boyfriend had free range to marry her.
She still hated my guts on the sole principle that I was a
womanizing f*cker, but maybe she would open her eyes and see beyond that part
of me.
I just hoped it wouldn’t be just for the sex because this
woman had always been my weakness.
She had the power to destroy me.
“I’d spent the better part of my life hiding behind my
bright smile and loud laugh, pushing everything away by using sex, but that was
over.’’
**For readers over 18. Can be read as a standalone but if
you want the full Kinky Shine experience don't miss the first book.**

A behind the scenes look at a
rockstar’s life. Maxen is book two in the Kinky Shine series. Book two follows
the drummer of the band that we met in book one. Maxen can be read as a standalone,
but I suggest you read book one as it reveals information that enhances this
book. Maxen has everything you need in a book. You have drama, romance,
secrets, and heat.
When reading the blurb, I knew I
had to give this book a try. I love enemies to loves and fake marriages, which
is kinda what this book is about. The author did a great job writing this plot.
It wasn’t just a single plot. There was a main plot with several smaller plots
that intertwined and added such depth to the book. I was impressed with how well the plot of
this book came together.
Lark is my favorite character so
far. She has such a feisty attitude that I can get behind. What I love most
about her is that she uses her attitude as a shield. She has walls built up,
even if she isnt sure why. She has this ideal of a perfect life which doesn’t necessarily
pan out for her. I loved her journey. Then you have Maxen. My heart has always
ached for him, but this book made it ache even more. He is such a strong and
happy guy, on the outside. Inside, he has a lot of pain and suffering that he
hides behind his smile. He has a reputation that follows him around like a dark
shadow, but he embraces it rather than dispute it. I was waiting on his journey
because I knew he needed something to change in his life.
The heat between these two burns
up the pages. They each feel the attraction towards each other, but due to
their past, they resist. Their constant bickering with each other adds another
layer of tension in the air. Once they finally slip, sparks are flying. Maxen
is a sexy man with a dirty mouth. Lark is an attractive woman with a lot to
explore. Put these two together and they are bound to combust.
The writing style of this book is
done very well. The pace of the book is steady. I love the back and forth
between the characters. It is like they take a small step forward then two large
steps back. It has such a style to it that you feel invested in the characters.
You feel like everything is happening organically. This story has many layers.
There are some minor changes I would have personally made, but honestly, it is
just me nit picking at this point. This is an amazing read.
Overall, this is a wonderful book.
I give this book 5 stars because I lost myself inside it. I had to know if
there would be a happy ending for Lark and Maxen. I also loved the minor
characters as well. I cannot wait to see the other two members of the band get
their own stories. This band has captured my heart.
