5 Stars!!!
Knight (Book 1)
Knight is the first book in Kristen Ashley's new erotic romance series, The Unfinished Heroes and I totally loved it! Knight Sebring is your typical KA male, but rather than a hero, Knight is an anti-hero. Über alpha, super sexy, over the top controlling... and very, very bad. Knight is the kind of hero you expect to see redeemed in his own story, but that doesn't happen and ya know what? I don't care. I adore him just the nasty way he is! Oh, and a dirty talker, too!! Man, oh, man! What a mouth... a mouth he can use on me any and every day of the week!!! He can be my "Daddy" if I can be his baby. Anya Gage... what a great heroine! Independent, strong, hard working... she's had a rough life but hasn't let it stop her from reaching for her dreams. She's loving, compassionate, and one of my favorite women from any KA novel!! A word to those who might be interested.... While this is definitely hotter than any of KA's mainstream novels, those like me who read quite a lot of erotica might consider this a little lighter than most books in the erotic genre. There are BDSM elements, but nothing extreme, though there are some very hot punishment scenes involving spanking with the hand and a strap. I'm so, so excited about this new series and can't wait to read more!!!
Creed (Book 2)
I spent literally hours a day, for a few days, trying to write a review for this book and all I got, time after time, was a bunch of raving and gushing and corny rambling so I’ll just break it down this way because it reminds me of Creed and Sylvie's innocence and their naïvete of adolescence and first love, and then all the deeper, more compelling things that make up their relationship as adults.

And this is why Creed, the second book in the Unfinished Hero series, might just be my favorite Kristen Ashley story, ever! Amazing, solid, sexy, romantic, poignant, heartbreaking, uplifting… Creed is all those things and so much more, and precisely the reason Kristen Ashley is quickly becoming the Queen Diva of Storytelling, regardless of the genre she writes!
Raid (Book 3)
5 hot, exciting, romantic stars! Raid is the third book in Kristen Ashley’s Unfinished Hero series and right from the start, grabbed hold and never let go. It’s sweet, it’s funny, it’s sexy... yep! It’s all kinds of awesome!
Description... Hanna Boudreaux has lived in the small town of Willow, Colorado all her life. The great-granddaughter of the town matriarch, she's sweet, cute and quiet. Too quiet. Hanna has a moment of epiphany when she realizes her crush for forever, Raiden Ulysses Miller, is not ever going to be hers. She sees her life as narrow and decides to do something about it. Raiden Miller is the town of Willow's local hero. An ex-marine with the medal to prove his hero status, he comes home, shrouded in mystery. It takes a while but, eventually, Hanna catches his eye. But after all these years of Raid and Hanna living in the same town, the question is, why? Is Raid interested in Hanna because she's sweet and cute? Or does Raid have something else going on?
My review... If you’ve read the previous books in this series, Knight and Creed, you know that these “unfinished heroes” are men who don’t just walk the edge of honor, they spit on it, cross it, and never look back. They’re men who live and love by their own code, make no excuses for what they do, and Raiden Ulysses Miller is no different. And thank God for that! Hanna. She is such a doll! She’s cute, she’s funny, she’s clever and talented… she’s absolutely awesome. With her girlie girl bike, and girlie girl basket and cutsie handlebar streamers, she’s a woman who knows what she likes and isn’t embarrassed to flaunt it. She loves life and does everything she can to make sure the people around her love life, too. She’s the kind of person who is so amazing, so awesome, that if I can’t be her, I’d want to be part of her world. And that’d be true even if she wasn’t getting a happily ever after with one incredibly sexy man. Speaking of which… Raid. Intense. Solid. Honorable. Sexy. Devoted. Confident. He’s a man who knows that there’s a big gray area between what’s right and what’s wrong, and I love how he works that area to his advantage. In truth, the world needs more men like Raiden Ulysses Miller. I think of all KA’s unfinished heroes - not just those in the series - he’s the most grounded, and the most okay with what he does, which is something else I love about him. There’s something extra special about this story, and it's Hanna's great grandmother, Miss Mildred, who is an absolute hoot! I don't think I've ever enjoyed a 'secondary' character as much as I enjoyed her, and truth be told, there's nothing 'secondary' about her. Everything about this woman shines, and I absolutely adore her! Between Raid, Hanna and Miss Mildred, the first several chapters of this story put such a huge smile on my face that my cheeks hurt, seriously! And then as the story continues, the people and places of Willow, Colorado kept that smile there, and, had me laughing, sighing, fanning myself and sobbing so hard I couldn’t see to keep reading… and I loved each and every minute of it. The bottom line... What can I say? Raid’s a typical Kristen Ashley hero, but there’s something… more… about him... something that makes him stand out from the others. He’s truly incredible and I love how he gives Hanna the happily ever after she's always dreamed of. And Hanna, with her rose colored glasses and beautiful spirit – I love how she gave Raid the happily ever after that he not only needs, but one he's more than deserving of. They are, each to the other, their reward.
