Review: Creed by Kristen Ashley

Creed

by Kristen Ashley

(Unfinished Heroes # 2)

After surviving childhood together with no one but each other Sylvie and Creed had planned on running away on Sylvie's eighteenth birthday and never looking back. But Creed doesn't show, he disappears leaving Sylvie  to suffer six years of hell before she could escape. But sixteen years after his betrayal she wakes up and he is back...

As Annie, Fran and Ang can tell you I have spent the last couple of days on messenger doing a manic countdown to when this came out, searching Amazon every five minutes to see if it was in yet, I was that excited. I imagine that they are quite relieved that that experience is over now (until the next Kristen Ashley release anyways!) instead they are getting messages about how awesome Creed was and how I am now going to find a real life version and have loads of sex and babies with him (if you know anyone, you know where I am!), because I LOVED this book!

Reason number one why I love this book:

CREED- I adored him, not only was he sexy, rugged and totally badass (with a hot ass) all he needed was a piercing and I would have been a puddle on he floor, he was also kinda sweet as well. That, and he knew all the best uses for massage oil *fans self* I have to say, I may have preferred Knight a tiny bit more (maybe it was the daddy thing!) but Creed still pushed all my buttons.

Reason number two why I love this book:

SYLVIE- She wasn't your typical Kristen Ashley heroine, she was almost as bad ass as Creed! But I liked that KA has mixed it up a little and created Sylvie, she was funny and kick ass and definitely one of my favourite heroines.

Reason number three why I love this book:

THE FLASHBACKS- I loved the flashbacks, showing Creed and Sylvie growing up together and how close their bond grew and changed as they got older, it was really beautiful. The emotions in the flashbacks I thought were even more poignant the what they were going through in the present, but maybe that is because you know that tragedy isn't far away. Either way I think the flashbacks add an extra dimension to the book and really give an emotional depth to Sylvie and Creed's relationship.

Reason number four why I love this book:

SEX SEX SEX!- Although this for me isn't erotica, more like just bordering erotic romance, there is no doubt that the sex in this knicker dampingly hawt. It is rough, raw and filled with sixteen years of emotion. A warning though this book has ass play in it, I thought that was one of the hottest scenes in the book, but readers sometimes like a warning first!

My final reason why I love this book:

SYLVIE & CREED- I have said them separately, but this book is all about them coming together and as a couple I think they are fracking fantastic. They belong together; they have off the charts chemistry and are so damn sweet together it makes my teeth ache.

So there a five perfectly good reasons to read this book, do what are you still doing here?

P.S. Annie, Creed (and Knight) have been claimed by me, I have got my eyes on you and your harem pinching ways!

Review: Knight by Kristen Ashley

Knight

by Kristen Ashley

Unfinished Heroes #1

This is the first book in Kristen Ashley's Unfinshed Heroes series, where bad boys rule supreme and the smexy factor has been raised to keep-a-spare-pair-of-knickers level. Knight Sebridge is first up. When

Anya first spots Knight at a party she didn't really want to go to and she is struck not just by his good looks, but by his ability to change the mood of a room just by being in it, and at the moment he was pissed off. But that wasn't the last she would see of Knight, after a chance meeting resulting in him taking her home, she can't stop thinking about him, dreaming about him, not realizing that Knight feels the same way and is determined to possess her any way he can...

Well Daddy... spank my arse and call me Shirley! I loved this book! I wasn't quite sure what to expect as Kristen Ashley's heroes are normally pretty bad ass anyways, but Knight takes it that one step further and pushes what us readers would normally find acceptable. But after seeing Knight in action I couldn't help but love him, he was a little scary, a lot sexy but also kind of sweet. Anya was also really great, she didn't break the mould of a KA heroine, she was sexy but didn't know it, with a big heart and worked for what she wanted, I like her heroines so this wasn't a problem for me.

But apart from the hero being a more extreme version of her uber alpha males, this book also differs from her others by the amount and type of sex. It is more explicit and also has an edge of BDSM in the way Knight likes to have complete control. There were no clamps, whips, St Andrew's Crosses or play rooms, but there was a little spanking and alot of ordering around. And perhaps the most controversial thing that I know alot of people have been talking about, is his title of Daddy when they are having sex. I personally thought this was sexy as hell, just like I think "Sir" and "Master" are, but I know alot of people were put off by it. I say bring it on, Knight can be Daddy anytime he wants!

The only thing I would have liked more of was some action, I kept expecting, a kidnapping/drive by/orphaned children to show up and rock the boat a little, but it didn't happen, this book very much focused on the relationship between Knight and Anya.

A great book, Ms Ashley has me completed enthralled, I am a hopeless addict, I need a KA fix whenever I can get one!
