He never wanted to be a hero…until she needed him to be.
Strength…
It took Kennedy Moore years to put her life back together after Reese Spencer shattered it. But she did. Now, years later, strong and independent, she is in pursuit of a single dream—to dance with the Altman American Dance Theater. Unfortunately, Kennedy is learning that a girl from nowhere with no money and no contacts might never be able to reach her goal.
That is, until Reese reappears, offering a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that Kennedy just can’t refuse. In exchange for working on his yacht for a few short weeks, he’ll get her an audition with the famous dance troupe. All Kennedy has to do is keep her head down, work hard and resist Reese. That sounds easy enough, right?
Weakness…
Reese doesn’t want to make it easy for Kennedy. Seeing her again has started a fire in his blood—an unwelcome one. It took him years to forget about her before, so this time he has a plan. It’s simple: Get Kennedy on his yacht, seduce her, get her out of his system, move on with his life. That sounds easy enough, right?
But the one thing Reese didn’t plan for was Kennedy herself—a girl so strong yet so broken, she makes him want to rescue her, to take care of her. To save her. Even if he has to save her from himself.
4.5 Amazing Stars by Nicole Lorenzo
Kennedy Moore has spent the last 14 years picking up the pieces of her
shattered life and heart. She has left the memories of the
boy who broke her heart in the past and is determined to make her dream of dancing
for a famous dance troupe come true. Working at a dance club Kennedy finds
freedom in being able to express herself through dance. It’s there dancing on
stage that her world gets turned upside down when she comes face to face with
Reese Spencer. She never expected to see Reese again, not after he left 14
years ago without so much as a goodbye.
Feeling those
aqua eyes on me brought back everything in one mind-numbing rush.
The draw, like
gravity.
The desire, like
obsession.
The pain, like
annihilation.
Seeing Reese again is like a punch in the gut, especially when he
offers her a proposition. Reese wants her to dance on his yacht for the summer
and then he will get her the audition with the Altman American Dance Theater
and make her dreams come true. Knowing she would never be able to get the
audition on her own, Kennedy agrees, but vows to herself to keep it
professional. She knows that if she loses her heart to Reese Spencer again, she
may never get it back. But Reese makes it very clear that he has other plans.
Reese Spencer lives the life of luxury, enjoying life, women and
building his empire of clubs and fantasy yachts. He wants for nothing and is
perfectly content with his life until he’s looking into the green eyes of a
ghost from his past. Seeing Kennedy after all this time sets a fire in Reese he
spent years trying to put out. He decides to hire her as a dancer on his yacht,
enjoy the summer with her and get her out of his system once and for all. But
Kennedy is reluctant to give in to what he knows they both want so much.
“I want to help
you, Kennedy. I really do. And I will. But I won’t deny that I want you.” He
takes one easy step towards me. “Or that I intend to have you.”
It doesn’t take long for Kennedy to give in to Reese. Despite knowing
she is going to wind up with a broken heart, she just can’t deny the fact that
she has never stopped loving him. Even though it’s farfetched, part of her
wishes he could be her happily ever after.
I’ll love him
until there’s nothing left. And then long after. It’s inevitable. He’s inevitable.
As the weeks go by Reese spends every waking moment with Kennedy.
Learning a little about her broken past, he realizes that he has played a big
part in causing the pain she has endured all these years. His guilt drives him
to erase that pain with joy. He pampers her, treats her like a princess and
realizes he doesn’t want to let her go. Ever.
“There will never
be anything but this, but us. You’re mine Kennedy Moore. All. Mine.”
Money. Power. Lies. Secrets. Deceit. These are the things that have
the potential to tear Reese and Kennedy apart for good. Neither of them have
been completely honest with each other and when the heartbreaking truth is
finally revealed will Reese and Kennedy’s love for each other be strong enough
to endure it?
“I can’t let you
go. Not again. Not ever again.”
I was so excited to read this book and boy it didn’t disappoint!! Reese
and Kennedy’s story is a heartbreaking one that started when they were young
lovers 14 years ago. Kennedy endured so much pain and suffering but overcame it
to become a strong, beautiful woman with one weakness, Reese Spencer. Reese was
a rich, selfish playboy until Kennedy came barreling into his life and made him
realize what he has been missing all these years. The chemistry between Kennedy
and Reese even after 14 yrs apart is undeniable. This is an emotional story filled with love,
loss, truth, lies and strength. I loved every second of this story and All the
Pretty Poses had me captivated from the very first page. I can’t wait to see
what comes next in this series!
“I’ve loved you
from the moment I met you. For fourteen years, I’ve loved you. And I’ll love
you for a million more.”
