Book Review: Hottest Mess by J. Kenner


Hottest Mess
S.I.N. #2
Author: J. Kenner
Reading Level: Adult
Genre: Erotic Romance
Released: July 12th 2016
Review Source: Bantam

No one can know about our love—and hiding only makes it hotter.

Dallas Sykes has a reputation. He is known for his parties, his money, and the countless women on his arm. Yet the Dallas I know is a different man—darker, smarter, and unbearably sexy. Just one look from him can leave me breathless; the anticipation of his touch can make me lose control.

Inextricably bound by our past, we keep each other’s secrets. And while there are people who have the power to hurt us, it’s the truth that threatens us most of all.

Dallas can be mine only behind closed doors, our passion as searing as it is forbidden. Yet nothing in this world has ever felt so desperately, deliciously right.
** This is an Adult romance novel recommended for ages 18+ due to sexual content and mature subject matter.** 


"This whole thing is a hot mess, you know," Says Jane.

The first book had me hungry for more, book two didn't pick up for me till a little after halfway. Although the sheer sexiness can make up for some of the issues in moving the story along so slowly, it was just a quick band-aid.

I found a a few plot holes that were plugged up with, ahem plenty of super hot sex. It makes a girl ache but mentally I was looking for a more movable plot. When I started the book I couldn't keep a blush from my face as I was reading while out and about, the chapter titles (as was with the first book) were forward and funny but also quite rated R.

The writing style in it's self is still great, I love the way J. Kenner writes, its fresh and straight forward and fun! One has to read book one for everything to be fully understood in book two but then again, book two took a lot of time to re explain many of the key points and nuances, I'm not a fan of redundancy. Having said that, it was a good read despite the few short comings I'm nit picking at. it is a raunchy forbidden love story and it's so much fun to indulge in this genre. I enjoy reading the inner turmoil of Jane over her relationship with her brother, Dallas. Taboo is the appropriate word, but they aren't siblings by blood only marriage. Calm down!

Outside of such a sexy tale of forbidden love there is some serious plot moving it forward, albeit slowly in book two (for me). Dallas maneuvers Deliverance, an underground ops searching and prosecuting kidnappers outside of the law. His main mission, find the sons of bitches who kidnapped him and Jane when they were fifteen years old, and only one name is coming to his mind right now, Collins. Is it just a rumor or was he really a apart of it all back then? He cannot tell Jane, not yet anyway. In the hopes I stop myself before spoilers I'd say give it a go, it might not be too slow of a read for others but the story of their relationship is hotter than hot and oh man, don't stray too far from the house, you might need to get some between chapters.

Book Review: Dirtiest Secret by J. Kenner




Dirtiest Secret
S.I.N. series #1
Author: J. Kenner
Reading Level: Adult
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Released: April 19th 2016
Review Source: Bantam

It was wrong for us to be together, but it was even harder to be apart.

The memory of Dallas Sykes burns inside of me.

Everyone knows him as a notorious playboy, a man for whom women and money are no object. But to me, he’s still the one man I desperately crave—yet the one I can never have.

Dallas knows me better than anyone else. We bear the same scars, the same darkness in our past. I thought I could move on by staying away, but now that we’re drawn together once more, I can’t fight the force of our attraction or the temptation to make him mine.

We’ve tried to maintain control, not letting ourselves give in to desire. And for so long we’ve told ourselves no—but now it’s finally time to say yes.

Dirtiest Secret is intended for mature audiences.


This was a seriously sexy read. Outside of the kink and taboo, the story behind it is compelling and could have easily stood alone, but together made this one riveting read.

Jane and Dallas have a twisted and haunted past, their childhood was anything but rosy. With divorce, awkward adoptions becoming increasingly problematic as adults, everything ended and started one night, as both Jane and Dallas were kidnapped. What happens in the darkness should stay in the dark, but nightmares rarely ever do, do they?

Now as adults, both have tried coping in vastly different manners to come to terms with their kidnapping in the years since, and neither Jane or Dallas talk much anymore, let alone see each other except for family occasions.

I liken Dallas in some ways as a mixture of Batman-meets-Hugh Hefner, what a wonderfully complex character with some seriously awesome character development, truly the King of Fuck.

This is a good book for anyone who enjoys reading kinky or seemingly overtly sexual novel, as well as enjoying suspense-fiction & romance.

I would easily give this book four stars. I had one heck of a time trying to read this novel between classes on campus, blushing is very noticeable in a classroom of twenty-something year olds. I can say that even through all that, I enjoyed reading this and look forward to future installments of the S.I.N. trilogy.

For fans of Fifty Shades of Grey, Bared to You, and Release Me comes an all-new erotic series of three enigmatic and powerful men, and the striking women who can bring them to their knees.

He promised to take me as far as I could go—and I wanted to go to the edge.

My whole life has been a cover, a con, a lie. I was born into the grift, raised on the thrill of playing someone I’m not. As a rule, I never let anyone get too close—until Cole August makes it impossible for me to stay away.

Cole is tough, sexy, and intensely loyal, yet his secrets are dark and his scars run deep. Not many women can handle his past, or the truth behind his fierce demands. But something about him beckons me—and our desire is a game I must play.

I know he’s dangerous, that even his touch is trouble, but what is passion without a little risk?
