Search - With Extreme Pleasure

This was the first time I'd read anything by Alison Kent and it won't be the last! While there are characters in this book from Kent's Smithson Group series, and is likely considered part of that series, it stands alone well.

The story pulled me right in and held me all the way to the satisfying end. It was a richly layered fast pace read, a blending of suspense and sexual tension.

The characters are beautifully detailed and multi-faceted. Kent made me care about King and Cady and for them to find happiness with one another. And in the whirlwind pace of this story that says something because I completely believed in the romance...could see it happening. In my writing research, I've learned to have a believable Whirlwind Romance you need ten things -- Confession, Danger, Failure, Honesty, Laughter, Risk, Sacrifice, Support, Teamwork, and Vulnerability -- and Kent nails every last one!
