| Nine: The Tale of Kevin Clearwater, the highly anticipated new standalone from USA Today bestselling author T.M. Frazier is LIVE! |
Nine lives.
Nine inches.
One chance to make her his.
Preppy's brother is about to live up to the family legacy in more ways than one.
This is the story of Nine, The Tale of Kevin Clearwater.
MY REVIEW
From
the very beginning, Nine puts me on edge and indoctrinated me into the harsh
and brutal life Nine, aka Kevin Clearwater, is surviving through.
You
need a lot of fight to survive and he has it in spades. That doesn’t mean that
despair isn’t lingering all around.
One
night, when despair is at its speak, he meets a kindred soul. An instant and
powerful connection is formed but is all too quickly severed.
After
that day, Nine, lives his life but never forgets that once in a lifetime
moment. Does he have a chance at a HEA? Or, has that one chance already been
taken from him?
A
page-turning read that gripped me with an intense amount of suspense from
beginning to end.
I
enjoyed and was enthralled by Nine’s story but I wanted the author to explore
Nine’s issues more. I wanted him to be able to face his issues and for him to
somewhat heal from his past trauma. I also wanted Lenny to be part of his
recovery.
Aside
from that, I fell hard for Nine. Strong, resilient and passionate but also in
his own way, vulnerable.
I'm
nor sure how to feel about Lenny's character. I did not see the strength or the
growth in her I wanted and needed to see. Her crutch for her anxiety never
wavered. I did not have any issue with her anxiety simply the way she dealt
with it. Because she never truly found a good coping mechanism for it, it made
her character seem weak. That feeling stays with me even now.
These
two together, however, worked for me. I could see how they fit and I could
believe in their relationship. All I really wanted for them was to completely
confide in each other and to heal and move forward from past traumas together.
This
was filled with page-turning suspense and I would love another book with this
couple. There’s still so much there to be explored with them and I honestly
loved them together.
EXCERPT
I look up
into his dark eyes. “This is a dangerous game of cat and mouse we’re playing.”
“More like a
game of cat and bird,” he corrects.
I straighten
my posture, my nipples grazing his hard chest. “And we all know how that turns
out in the end. The cat eats the bird.”
Nine lightly
scrapes his nails over my bare arms before pressing them into my skin. I gasp
at the slight bite of pain. “No, the pretty bird swoops down from nowhere and
sinks her sharp talons into the cat, marking him for life.”
There’s no
sarcasm in his voice. I don’t know how to begin to process what it is he’s
saying. It takes all of my concentration to get out my next few words.
“And...and
then what?”
Nine picks me
up off the floor in one quick motion, flipping me back onto the bed. He crawls
over my body, hovering above me, pinning my wrists to the mattress. He grazes
his teeth over the sensitive spot behind my ear. He lowers his voice to a deliciously deep
rumble that has me vibrating with his every word.
“And then he
eats her.”
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
T.M. (Tracey Marie) Frazier never dreamed that a single person would ever read a word she wrote when she published her first book. Now, she is a five-time USA Today bestselling author and her books have been translated into numerous languages and published all around the world.
T.M. enjoys writing what she calls sexy wrongside of the tracks romance’ with morally corrupt anti-heroes and ballsy heroines.
Her books have been described as raw, dark and gritty. Basically, what that means, is while some authors are great at describing a flower as it blooms, T.M. is better at describing it in the final stages of decay.
She loves meeting her readers, but if you see her at an event please don’t pinch her because she's not ready to wake up from this amazing dream.
