5By HeyCarrieAnn17Love Kristen Ashley! Really enjoyed this book!!Perfection
5By BookNerd74You can't go wrong with a KA novel. I've read all of her books and no one tells a story like her. This is no different, brilliant from beginning to end.Frankie and Benny
4By Telco ourAll I can say is WOW. They are such a hot couple from beginning to end. It is a tad bit crazy how Frankie seems to get in so much trouble. Benny is so refreshing to read about a man who from the beginning know he wants a woman and goes about securing happiness for the both of them.Awesome yet again!
5By HLFarrellKristen Ashley is one of the best authors ever! I loved Frankie and Bennie's story!Not One of My Faves
2By jericho's girlI love Kristen Ashley so much, I pre-order her books. "The Promise" was the latest...but not the best. I appreciated Benny's tender and silent alpha-ness, really, I did...but would it have hurt the story if maybe he kicked one or two bad guy butts (like Layne in "Golden Trail" or Colt in "For You")? Frankie was much in the same boat. She seemed to be missing the secret ingredient that made KA's female protagonists so friggin' lovable - their sweet bad-a**ness (like Nina in "The Gamble" and Rocky in "Golden Trail"). Sigh. Please don't let this be a shift towards a kinder, gentler writing! :-)Meh, just ok
3By JsmithieI love KA. I waited so long ... Anticipating this book ... Built up by the drama in At Peace, because Benny said some harsh words to Frankie. And then in The Promise, that drama sloped downwards... I will continue to buy KA's books, because she's awesome, but I just expected more angst between people who held a grudge for 8 years. Like Lanie and Hop? No grudge, but Totally hot after all those years. Shy and tabby, hot too. Deck and Emme? Years later, they' burn hot. Benny and Frankie? Water thrown on them.A must read
5By KeriO RNKristen Ashley is one if my favorite romance authors. I suggest reading the Rock Chick series first then the Burg series. You won't be disappointed. Great plots with sexy alpha males that you can't help but fall in love with.Another winner
5By The burg is awesomeAnother fantastic kristen ashley book.Love the burg!
5By FellanaI can't say enough about Kristen Ashely.I hope it says a lot , that she is the one author I never hesitate to buy a story she's written. I own them all,every series.I've reread them more then once. Up until Benny and Frankie,Joe and Vi were my favorite.But Benny and Frankie are my number one now.Well, we'll see after Merry and Cheryl. I can't freaking wait. Thank you KRISTEN, you are awesome!!!
