ABOUT ALL THE PRETTY POSES: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.
Sandy B's Review:
Reese: “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 toward me. “Or that I intend to have you.” Kennedy:
“My insides quake. His words…the memories…that look in his eyes…
Reese: “Out!” I shout, loud enough to be
heard over the music. There is a pause, during which I turn to scan the room
before I repeat, more harshly, “Everybody OUT.”
The room clears within a few seconds, the music of some other song left
playing in the background. Kennedy is sitting up in her chair, watching me,
water dripping from the ends of her hair. When I make my way up on the stage,
she’s not moving, not breathing. Neither
am I….
It
is not often that I give a book 5 stars.
OH MY GOODNESS I LOVED ALL THE PRETTY POSES! Reese totally captivated me from the very
beginning. That part above where he tells
everyone to get OUT of the room and you just know stuff is about to go
down…was one of my faves. My heart was in my throat right through the
rest of that chapter.
Reese
is driven by the demons of his past. In
particular, his father, who you can imagine is not a nice guy. Everything he knows about life and business
he learned from this man, or so he thinks.
Reese is sexy, he is intense and he is all kinds of delicious. Reese puts Kennedy on notice that he means to
have her despite her protest to the contrary.
I for one was wishing I could crawl into the pages of this book and be
Kennedy for one night.
Kennedy’s
heart was broken by Reese as a young girl.
He makes her an offer she can’t refuse which then puts her straight in
his cross hairs. Kennedy’s feelings are not as dead as she would like them to
be. Bless her heart cause the girl sure
can talk a good game. What we don’t know and is revealed layer by layer is that
Kennedy’s “still waters” run very very deep.
It
felt to me like these two lost souls, were just that – lost! They each have moved on with their lives, but
are not really living. Physically they
are now adults but those teenagers that loved each other have never grown
up. If it is possible to live in a state
of suspended animation then that is what Reese and Kennedy have done. These two souls, hearts, spirits, whatever
you call them have been waiting to once again become one. There are curve balls here – some I
suspected, others I did not see coming – and this gave the story a whole new
depth. It moved ATPP into a different
category than just another yummy, hawt and smexy read. I thought to myself there it is! The angsty heartachy stuff that I love love
love. Curious? Well don’t look at me cause I’m not telling
you anything!
If
you read All the Pretty Lies (Pretty #1) then you’ll be glad to know that Hemi
& Sloan are featured here.
M.
Leighton has given me a new BBF (Book Boy Friend) to love and a heroine that is
a lot more than what we originally imagine.
