My Alpha Obsession is a standalone Asian American romance for kindle. Half-Japanese Wendy Phillips has a hole in her heart the size of a continent. She desperately wants the man she thinks she loves to propose, but he's too busy pursuing fame. When she fills her days with mundane luxuries in order to hide past memories of sexual objectification, she ends up feeling empty and alone. That is, until she meets Hans. Hans Finesse leads a relaxed life as a talented massage therapist in a ritzy, high-end Napa spa. He's loyal to a fault and won't play games when it comes to relationships. The only problem is that he's hiding an embarrassing foot fetish, one that usually sends women running. Wendy is loyal to a fault. But the yearning she feels after that first session with Hans leaves her consumed with thoughts of his strong hands, his melting touch and his chiseled body. She struggles between feeling connected to the man she pledged herself to and the desire to jump into the arms of her caring, sexy, alpha male massage therapist. The only issue is that client-therapist relationships are completely off-limits. Hans would have to disrupt his entire comfortable life just to be with her. And she would have to get a legitimate job to finance leaving her beau and finding real, true love. Plus, there's the unexpected secret baby that just might derail everything. Both Wendy and Hans are left questioning whether to wither away in the face of fear and melt back into sad complacency, or plunge into the depths of the unknown to seize the heart of their passion. Just one click away, My Alpha Obsession awaits! (Previously published as Freak)
If magic were real, Katherine, “K.P.” Chinelli would probably still need to take copious notes about it instead of embarking on thrilling adventures. Her brain gets shiny-ball syndrome, so she has published ten books on a variety of subjects including self-help and romantic adventures. As well as being a Certified Massage Therapist and Health Educator, she has traveled to ten countries outside the U.S. including Egypt, where she got to see the pyramids up close. As a stay-at-home mom she is able to indulge in a multitude of hobbies, with learning useless skills being her favorite. Check out her eclectic collection at Smashwords and Amazon.
I thought this book was very well written, I am an avid reader and I enjoy a large variety of genres and topics this was kind of a first for me. I feel like this book may have been lacking in something along the lines of what is popular right now in the new adult book and that may have spiced it up a bit. The characters were slightly dull but they all meshed well together and kept the story moving Hans is an interesting guy, he is secure in what he likes, slightly nervous about women, confident in his job and what he's good at and that makes him attractive. His sister is a bit of a nut but offers diversity to Han's life. Wendy is great, slightly cowed in at home and still independent in the ways that really matter. She has a bit of a crazy past but is actively working to distance herself from it. Not sure what is going on with the crazy moms in the story, I feel like all the characters have all this back story and history that I only get a small glimpse of here and there. Though everything seems to tie in together and nicely. The story itself is very good and I'm glad that I got to read it. I will be reading more from Katherine Pierce Chinelli in the future.
Freak where to start. Oh my freakin goodness this was not what I was expecting. Don't get me wrong I read the synopsis but still. While first reading this book I was like WTH and laughing at the same time because I could not believe that this was going on. It got to a point that I wanted to stop and just say that I could not finish this book and take it as a lost but I continued on and I realized that this is a really good book once you get past the shock of what was going on. I actually like Hans and his unique way and Wendy was the best. I was glad that I stuck this book out. The characters were delightful and the story line was good. This was the first book that I have ever read by Katherine and I look forward to reading more from her
