Best Laid Plans #2
Going Awry
*** Book 2 is the conclusion to the Best Laid Plans two-part novel, and is not a stand-alone book. It is meant to be read after Book 1 ***
The Print Edition contains both Book 1 & 2, and is the complete novel.
Jillian isn't sure how the man sleeping next to her went from being a client to being both her boss and her Dom in less than a day. If he moves any faster, she might end up permanently collared before lunch.
Jackson has never had a sub-in-training quite like Jillian. Once he tames her temper and her smart mouth, he expects to have exactly the woman he's always wanted.
Lessons will be learned, secrets will be revealed, and the sex will get even hotter!
Best Laid Plans contains humor as well as explicit adult content, BDSM, and an alpha billionaire. It is intended for readers 18 years of age and older.

Goodreads is a wonderful source of information as I am learning the craft. I especially enjoy browsing the Community Reviews of books I've just finished reading (and I admit, I'm not very good at updating my list here).
A special thanks to Linda — I don't know who you are, but you were kind enough to leave my first rating (and I always remember my first!)

I've just read the first one and I liked it, despite stuff that annoyed me - for example, while the built up was exhilarating, the steamy scenes weren't that hot, in my opinion... This part two is soooo much better. It's easily the hottest book I've read this year, without being anywhere close to erotica - the story is pretty good, too. Brilliant.
What I'd say is that the cover let's the author down, it really doesn't do her book justice

Although I didn't like this book as much as the first, it was still a good read. What brought it down one star was Jackson. He was a too much of an alpha for me. He was also a bit of a hypocrite; for example, he would tell Jillian not to manipulate him but then he would use sex to get what he wanted.
What I did like was Jillian attending the Al-Anon meetings and working the program to avoid falling into the same pitfalls as she did with her alcoholic ex-husband. I found that intriguing and think (hope!) people unfamiliar with 12-step programs will learn how beneficial it can be.
Although this book doesn't end on a hard cliffhanger, it doesn't wrap up as neatly as a HFN. I was under the impression this was a duet as it states at the beginning of the book's synopsis: "Book 2 is the conclusion to the Best Laid Plans two-part novel." So, I was a bit disappointed with that.
Regardless, this was a solid 4-star read and I've already purchased and started the third book.

What a roller coaster ride!
Oh my! I don’t know if my heart can stand it. Jillian and Jackson are one of THE BEST couples I have met. This story has so much angst and love. Will I survive it?

Jillian and Jackson's story continues.
The fun and sexy relationship evolves between these two likeable, complex characters. There are some surprises, lots of passion, emotional upheaval and sassiness.

Wow! This book was such a fun, hot, steamy, exciting read! I could not put this book down!
Miss Kelly’s writing style is superb! She wrote this book with such detail and precision, everything was so easy to picture - it was like a movie playing in my head. The pace of the book was steady and evenly flowed.
There are quite a few funny lines and witty banter that definitely had me giggling and let me tell you I was reading this book in public, but I could not keep it in! Gosh, what those people must have been thinking lol!
This book defines sexy and will definitely keep a smile glued on your face! Perhaps a few blushing moments that will make you cringe, but you won’t be able to look away.
I really liked the main characters, Jillian and Jackson. Both characters felt very true, realistic, and relatable. Jillian is an event planner with a struggling business. She is young, pretty, intelligent, and somewhat innocent, but not completely lol. Jackson is a sexy, rich, confident, CEO who is San Francisco’s most eligible bachelor. Jillian is about to throw in the towel and call it quits on her business. In fact, this party was going to be her last. When she then meets Jackson, in a very strange and funny way! She thinks he’s abducting a guest of the party! Yea, can you say awkward LOL!!
Jillian and Jackson both have some serious baggage and painful backgrounds. Their relationship isn’t all cupcakes and rainbows. Between coming from different worlds, their dark histories, and others trying to break them apart there is a lot of obstacles these two face and it will definitely take some work if they are going to make it.
I think you will probably be rooting for them or perhaps like me, secretly hoping it doesn’t work out so that I can date Jackson LOL!!!
Okay yes, there are some parallels to Fifty Shades of Grey – it’s even the theme of Jillian’s parties. And yes, there’s CEO/most eligible bachelor Jackson who resembles Christian and the innocent/naïve girl Jillian who kind of resembles Anastasia. Honestly, I like Jillian more than I liked Anastasia lol. But this book really is a different story and a different approach to the BDSM world. This book is a lighter take – still hot and steamy, but less graphic. Perhaps it’s even more enjoyable and still very realistic. Plus there is so much more comedy and laughing out loud scenes!

This book strongly deserves all five stars and honestly, if I could I probably would have given it more!
