This is a longer length novella that follows Sawyer and Grace’s journey after Sweet Temptation, book two in the Men of Honor series. It is told in dual POV, has an HEA, and no cliffhanger. Sweet Temptation should be read prior to this novella. It is recommended to read the other books in both the Men of Honor series and the Acts of Honor series as all the characters play recurring roles. However it’s not necessary.
Warning: Due to mature subject matter, such as explicit sexual situations and coarse language, this story is not suitable for anyone under the age of 18.
Excerpt
“What are you doin’ here?” I ask, licking my suddenly dry lips.
“I came here for you. We have some things to discuss.”
Uh oh… My pulse races for a whole other reason now. Does he know about my visit at the hospital today?
“Like what?” I whisper.
“Like this.” Hooking an arm around my neck, he yanks me against him then claims my lips in a heated caress.
My fingers curl in his shirt, a blissful sigh escaping me as he suddenly makes everything in my world right again.
A growl vibrates from him just before he picks me up off my feet, letting them dangle inches off the ground. My arms encircle his neck and I cling to him, absorbing his warmth.
“Too long, Cupcake,” he groans against my lips. “Been too fucking long without this.” He blows through the swinging door to the kitchen and sets me on the island. His large, warm hands slip under my skirt and run up my thighs to grip my hips. I suck in precious air as his mouth moves to the tender flesh of my throat. “No more, Grace. You hear me? You’re my wife, which means I get your taste, your body, and your heart every fucking day. You belong to me.”
One act of kindness brought Sophie Parish far more danger than she could have ever imagined. Now she’s on the run, leaving behind her family and the only dream she’s ever had.
Retired EFC fighter Kolan Slade’s life has been one endless battle after another. He has a dark past with an even darker desire—the only one he’s ever known.
Until he meets Sophie.
Intrigued by her raw beauty and the secrets she’s trying to hide, Kolan craves to know who she is and what she’s running from.
Protecting her becomes his obsession and he’ll sacrifice it all to save her. But in the end her love will have him questioning himself and everything he thought he knew.
***
This is book three in the Acts Of Honor series, the spin-off series to Men Of Honor. Kolan and Sophie’s story is told in dual POV, has an HEA with no cliffhanger, and can be read as a standalone. However, I highly recommend reading prior books in both series, as characters play recurring roles throughout.
About the Author
K.C. Lynn is a small town girl living in Western Canada. She married her high school sweetheart and they have four amazing children: two lovely girls and a set of handsome twin boys. It was her love for romance books that gave K.C. the courage to sit down and write her own novel. When she is not in her writing cave, pounding out new characters and stories, she can be found living between the pages of a book, meeting new tattooed, hot alpha males with very big…Hearts.
Sexy Sawyer is back!! I've missed this big, possessive, sexy alpha! And thankfully he hasn't changed much since we last saw him. Still as protective as ever of his family and just as much in love with Grace, he just seems to get better and better!!
This novella is the perfect introduction to The Sweet Series! It is everything that we have come to love about KC Lynn and more. Giving us a little peek into the lives of Grace and Sawyer, now that they are married and have twins, Parker and Hope, KC Lynn has managed once again to tear out my heart and put it back together again in about 150 pages.
This book is a beautifully written tale of true love and the real meaning of family. You will laugh, cry and swoon. Sawyer will slay you with his sweet words and his dirty talk. Grace will leave you in awe of her kind spirit. And you will fall madly in love with Parker and Hope.
With little hints of what's to come. KC Lynn leaves me with puffy eyes and a box of used tissues. I can't wait to see what she brings us next, but I have no doubts that it will be just as amazing.
