Review: Your Whisper in the Dark

Your Whisper in the Dark by K.C. Kendricks

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



Hmm... I am a bit conflicted about my rating for this one. I liked it, but there were niggles. I guess I'm somewhere between 2 stars and 3 stars. I genuinely like the characters in the story.

Kenzie has just ended a relationship that lasted seventeen years. He and Dennis had an open relationship, so I don't understand why he was so upset that Dennis had sex with someone else. I do get why he was upset that Dennis said he loved another man, but by that time, Kenzie had decided he was no longer in love with Dennis. In fact, Kenzie admitted that, being an abandoned child who grew up in an orphanage, it was the idea of being left that bothered him more. I guess a lot of Kenzie's problems with Dennis' infidelity didn't quite make sense to me since they had the open relationship from the beginning.

Mason, Kenzie's new love interest, is a nice guy. I do wish that it had been possible to see the relationship grow. That's a statement that I've found myself making or thinking about all the books in this series since they generally only really let the reader see the first few days of the burgeoning relationships.


Also, I was a bit bothered by the comment that a lot of gay couples had problems with fidelity because I don't think that is true.

Review: What You Don't Confess

What You Don't Confess by K.C. Kendricks

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



Closer to 3.5 stars.

So far, this is my favorites book of the series. Dylan and Cass make a good couple. It is important to note that each book in this series chronicles the first few days of each couple's relationship rather than showing the relationships building over time.

Review: Open Roads

Open Roads by K.C. Kendricks

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



This is short at only 72 pages. The first 67 give us Tyler and Noel's first couple of days together. When you hit page 68, you get the epilogue, which is six months later, and while I enjoyed the story, I wish the author had let us see those missing six months.

Review: A Hard Habit To Break

A Hard Habit To Break by K.C. Kendricks

My rating: 2 of 5 stars



Closer to 2.5 stars.

I liked the characters okay, but there were some niggles. Also-the guts got back together pretty quickly after hiding from each other for thirteen years.
