Love Owned: A Heart Of Seeton Novel (Volume 1) by L.J. Kentowski
It’s her property…
Riley Kastner is
desperate to prove she can make it as an independent business owner, if for no
other reason than to avoid working for her condescending parents.
Unfortunately, her fledging planning business isn’t exactly soaring. In fact,
it hasn’t even lifted for takeoff. So, when she finds out she’s the beneficiary
of a bar in small town, USA, she takes a chance and lets fate lead the way.
It’s his life…
Dax Beckett wanted
nothing to do with his dad’s bar, but he sure as hell didn’t expect him to give
it to a complete stranger, especially a big city girl who knows nothing about
running one. So, what’s a guy to do to save the family business? Charm her out
of her sexy undergarments, of course.
But who’s in charge,
when it’s owned by love?
Making Beckett’s a
success is the common goal, but are they willing to sacrifice their hearts to
achieve it?
Review
Love Owned: A Heart Of Seeton Novel is a sexy, sweet, heartwarming
romance with all the creamy goodness between. L.J. Kentowski has been known for
her thrilling Fate Trilogy full of magic, and warring of good versus evil with
loads of sexy suspense and thrilling rides. Love Owned is the first in a new romantic-comedy
series for Kentowski. I think the genre shift is a nice change for her, and
honestly a huge success as I was not only unable to put it down, I cried like a
17 year old girl at the end.
I as a romantic suspense lover, wanted a little more
external conflict, but Love Owed does fine without it. Not too mushy as the
comedy relieves everyone taking themselves too seriously.
I am a sucker for the big town girl meets small town world,
and Dax, the hero in the story is a saucy, arrogant alpha male with a brooding
heart. Portrayed beautifully in Kentowski’s prose I have to admit I had the hunky
image of Luke Danes in my head the whole time (Gilmore Girls reference).
Riley , our heroine is striving for what we all look for, her
place in the world and while I kinda wanted to smack her a few times I also
found myself relating, laughing aloud, and swooning for Dax just as she does.
The story is simple and has good pacing, no lagging or eye
rolling parts where you read through a little faster to get to the good stuff.
It is all good stuff, in my opinion. The lovemaking is hot, spicy, funny and
makes you smile. While the small town of
Seeton is a character in the book , it is a minor character simply enjoying the
show like the rest of us(definitely a good thing).
Characters are well thought out and focused, each having their
own inner debates and drivers through the novel. The emotional layers are
played out not only in the action but in the dialog which I love. Very natural
and full of human antics.
Great read, I am not emotionally drained afterward, just
feeling that good romance glow. Loved it, and looking forward to more romantic
comedy from L.J. Kentowski!
