J&G : 4.5 Stars

We normally text each other throughout our reads, then discuss the book on the phone before writing our reviews. For this one we thought we’d include our text messages. 🙂

J: Sooo looking forward to starting this one G. At least we know we’ll get lots of hot, passionate scenes in a Kitty French book!

G: YAY!!! I’m so bloody excited…I miss Lucien and I love Kitty!!

J:  Me too – my say I’m intrigued with Dylan Day already. What exactly is this guy running from G? I’m dying to find out.

G: Do you keep picturing Sawyer from LOST? I do and yeah he’s an enigma for sure!

J:  YES!! He is a perfect Dylan!! Well done woman!  Oh bloody hell, welcome back Lucien we’ve missed you, you big wonderful Nordic god!  Love him G!

“I can fuck you here against the front door, or I can fuck you in our bed. I don’t mind, as long as I fuck you in the next three minutes.” – Lucien

G: LUCIEN!!!! Wow this guy does NOT mess around. I LOVE him!!! I’ve really missed my Viking God!!

J:  Haha! No Lucien gets straight to the point.  Wowsers! After 5 years together they certainly know how to keep things spiced up. HOT! These two absolutely sizzle together don’t they?  Lucien being a father takes my love for him to a whole new level.

G: Awww Lucien has such a vulnerable loving side to him, I think he’s pretty perfect. I didn’t realise we’d get to see all these moments with Lucien and Sophie! I love that Jenny!! Seeing him as a Dad after the last book’s revelations MELTS me!!! Oh and the hotness factor….turn me over I’m DONE!!!

J:  Me too! I had no idea we would get this much L & S and I bloody LOVE that!  Oh I’m so done I’m charred baby!  Well…helllooo Dylan Day. Kara’s made of stern stuff G….I would have taken him up on the unbuttoning the shirt offer…….Noooooooooo don’t let him leave!!!! Gulp!

“I’ll see myself out. And for the record…I’ve never felt less like leaving anywhere in my life.” – Dylan

G: Dylan Day…*fanning myself* I think I’m in love Jenny!! I have to say I want Kara to be my friend I love her. She’s so cool, I love people that say what they mean sod the consequences!

“It’s my downfall. I like sugar. I like fast cars. I like sexy men.”

J:  I think I’m absolutely in love G…especially after you putting that Sawyer pic in my head!!  Yes! I love that she’s so straightforward! Tell you what, I’m absolutely loving the friendship banter between Kara and Sophie. These two have changed so much but still retain the giggly girls we know and love them to be.  And Lucien is so focused on Sophie….love him!  That is one hot man!! Hmmm can Dylan topple Lucien in our affections do you think?

G: I love these girls, I love their relationship and the fact that Lucien sees Kara as his sister. Seriously, how much of a turn on is his protectiveness and his intensity? I don’t know if Dylan can ever overtake how I feel about Lucien though, after all I’m Danish and us Scandi’s have to stick together, oh and ASkars is my Viking God Lucien so….yeah who knows LOL….I’m not opposed to a Lucien/Dylan sarnie right now though J

J:   Oh yeah there is that Scandi connection but Dylan is yummy!  I loved bond Lucien and Kara have formed too and that protective streak?? Yep! Loving it. 
Gulp….It’s freezer time. Dear lord…Lucien…office…and handcuffs oh my! Lucky Sophie!

G: *Speechless* I dunno what to say other than can I have some….please???!!!

J: Well that just answered our question on Dylan, G. Things are really hotting up now! This guy sure has the moves.

“You thought I was a sure thing, Sailor?” Kara
“Assumed nothing. Hoped some.” – Dylan

One way ticket on the Love Tug please!

G: I need to go to Ibiza and have a tug at the Love Tug!!!!!

J: Hehe. Was waiting for the tug comment lol.   Ice buckets are overflowing. Bloody hell Lucien and Sophie are such sensual creatures and I wish it was my birthday *wink wink*

G: They’ve got something real special…seriously, haven’t they come a long way since Sophie kissed that envelope in book one!!

J:  OMG! That’s what I love G.  You can really feel the progression of the characters in this book and just how far they’ve come – Kitty has done a great job developing these two characters.
Oh dear god I think romantic Lucien may have just completely melted my heart! G is your heart melting

‘He was the owner of her heart, the father of her child. They shared everything. Except for one final thing.’ – Sophie

G: Yeah, wow….only Lucien can get away with making ‘that thing’ romantic whilst he has a pair of hips rocking against his face and his tongue busy licking and ummm swirling was it? I forget…hang on let me re-read just to make sure I got that right….did he really ask that whilst down there?

J:  Hang on…I’m just re-reading too just to check your facts…..ummmm GULP and double GULP….yep, only Lucien can make THAT moment romantic hahaha. Loved that scene!  I’m suddenly feeling in the mood for a ticket to Ibiza…I’ll order us a cocktail. Are you coming G?  Hmmm let me rephrase that!!

G: I’m coming….I’ve ALWAYS wanted to go to Ibiza as well!!

J:  Wow, how much am I loving the switching between the couples – it’s like getting the best of both worlds don’t you think?

G: It really is…I feel spoilt. Kitty’s done a FAB job here!!!

J:  The bond being established between Lucien and Dylan really shows a different side of Lucien and the growth of him as a person. What a great addition that aspect is to this story. Loving the bromance between these two. They crack me up! This quote floored me!!!

“Thank you”….”Your faith in me means a lot” – Dylan
“Just don’t expect me to hug”….”I like you, but this isn’t Brokeback Mountain.” – Lucien

G: LOVE the bromance!!! I can’t stop laughing at the Brokeback comment. The relationships in this instalment is great, the dynamics spot on and the development of the characters is brilliant. I really feel as if they’ve grown and settled. It’s so believable!

J:  It really is!  Kara and Dylan together really works but geez I’ve got a horrible feeling in my stomach things are going to go tits up for these two any minute.

G: I just want them together. They have a real connection and I really think they NEED their HEA! I’m scared though….Gawd I hope he doesn’t fuck it up. Kara put herself out there for him. I have to say though I want to give him a hug…then I want to see stars and take a trip on the Milky Way!!!!

J: Hehe oh hell yeah…Milky Way it is.  I’m scared he’s going to fuck up too.  Arrgghhh….Dylan is one mysterious man – I really do love him – he’s so hot but his secrets are slowly unravelling and I’m kind of nervous.

“Sometimes good people do bad things for good reasons.” – Lucien

G: Isn’t he just! I have to say I wasn’t expecting this!! Lucien’s understanding and faith is making me fall even more in love with him and Dylan is just gorgeous, his heart is GOLD!!!

“You like things that are bad for you, English.”

Uh huh…..can I be the Danish pastry that gets devoured on the Love Tug? Pretty please with extra sugar on top!

J:  Geez G…steady on – a trip to the Milky way, devoured on the Love Tug AND a Dylan & Lucien butty….you don’t want much do you?  LOL
Oh god is there anything more heart melting than reading about Lucien with Tilly?  Big dreamy sigh…He’s just divine. I love him.

“There isn’t a single part of my life that isn’t a hundred times better for having you in it.” – Lucien

G: *CRYING* whilst melting into a puddle on the floor!!!!

J:  Same! The amount of time we’ve spent with Sophie and Lucien was the nicest surprise ever in this and I have to say I’m so pleasantly surprised by that. There is a really good balance of story in this one between all the relationships and bonds forming. It’s taken them, as people, to a whole new level for me. What about you?

G: I know, I’m so surprised. I guess I didn’t really know what to expect so this is like an effing treat and it’s written so convincingly with it being a few years down the line and the way it’s woven into Dylan and Kara’s story is just spot on. I’m inhaling this story!!!

J:  There are no words for Lucien G. DIVINE!!

G: VIKING GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ‘Nuff said!!!

J:  Yep! That about covers him!  Bloody hell Dylan! Did. Not. See. That. Coming. 

“I never wanted to break your heart, English.” – Dylan

G: Bloody hell is right Jenny…..what happened here?? Nope….I didn’t see that coming either. Who fancies a twister? Family and bitches suck big fat hairy balls!!!

J:  Yep they do! That knocked me for six. Right I’ve finished. We need to debrief tomorrow. Kitty French has done it again!! Bloody loved this one G. Addicted from start to finish. Hot, funny, romantic and a great escape! I’ll miss these guys! What about you?

G: Kitty French sure has done it again. No question! What a brilliant epilogue too!! I love her and I will always one-click her books. She gives us great characters, fab stories and such passion and romance. I’ll always miss Lucien and now I can add Dylan to that mix too!!!
