RE-READ Review
3 HE NEEDED TO GROW UP STARS
After I enjoyed her last book so much I re-read her other book. This one was still pretty good but I must say I found the hero behavior to be extremely insulting and the heroine should have made him suffer more.
Yeah she should have told him about the baby but with his history...things were looking really bad for her here.
He was an asshole for 50% of the Book and his behavior towards the knowledge of father was GROSS.
_______________ORIGNAL REVIEW NOV 2016__________
4 JUDGED BY YOUR PAST STARS
Have you ever wondered what would really happen if an intelligent innocent (the heroine,Kennedy) got together with a known manwhore (the hero, Drew)?
Would she trust him blindly or would his past catch up with him?
Well wonder no more, because it does indeed catch up with him here in a big way!
Kennedy, is part of a very strict and religious family who firmly believe NO SEX BEFORE MARRIAGE!
If you do so you are a whore and will be thrown out!
So when this sweet little Virgin comes across the dirty sexy Manwhore Drew, she is left holding the baby!
Yes, it's the secret baby story!!!
Did you see that one coming here?
Anyways, she is kicked out of town and forced to have her "baby of shame" in secret while our man Drew is left wondering "what's going on?"
See our heroine found out from her loving brothers that her man Drew was about town with others (not true but with his past it's very plausible).
So when she is kicked out of the house by her brothers she does NOT tell him about the baby because she honestly did not think he would want to know. And when she does come back to town 7 months later to tell him about the baby I can see that she was right!
His reaction to the news of his fatherhood was an epic fail here and this is why it lost most of its rating.
She is made to feel like trash by the hero when essentially she was just trying to do the right thing.
She thinks;
"He didn't want me back. He just wanted to fuck me. That's what he'd always wanted. My brothers had been right. He was a player and I was a fool. And now I was a tramp. His tramp."
With so many misunderstandings, will they be able to make it work, or is it too late for them?
Now, I enjoyed this book and I would recommend it! It was refreshing to read about a hero who is finally caught out or tripped up because of his whoring past.
Too often an author will try to gloss over these facts and to me it makes the heroine appear to be a mindless Zombie slut who essentially does not care that he has a past.
IMO, He was lucky that she gave him the time of day!
And the fact that he was grateful for that, was the icing on the cake.
I enjoyed their story with the crazy OTT moments and steaming hot sexytimes.
Safety is perfect with no cheating faithful during separation and no drama at all. Plus condoms used.

This book was sooo cute!! I really liked it and will probably reread it later on so because of that it's going in my fav pile.
Drew's a NY Firefighter who fell hard for the innocent church goer Kennedy (Neddy) Stewart until one day she just bails on him. This left Drew shattered, confused, and lost, drowning himself in liquor and being absolute reckless at work.
Then one day Neddy comes back claiming to have had his kid and he loses it. He doesn't trust her, his fear of her walking out on him again has him unclear on what to do or feel.
Drew is a total asshole to her, but I loved Him! He was honest, possessive, didn't cheat or whore his life away even after she left. I do think Kennedy could have stood up to him a bit and explained why she left a lot sooner but it didn't really bother me. They were a cute couple with total miscommunication!! Holy wow if she only explained why she really left.

There is small drama, not with other women or men but family. In the end they work things out and live HEA.

I just can't! This hero was an asshole who in no way redeemed himself. The heroine was a doormat who just let him do what ever he wanted. For crying out woman he told you he was "fucking you out of his system!!" Then he used your guilt against you to get blow jobs when he couldn't have sex! Multiple times the hero stated he was going to get what he wanted from her...multiple times he made decisions that affected them both but never consulted her...multiple time he said and did hurtful things. He may have thought the apology but he NEVER actually told her he wa sorry for anything!!!
Sorry...many will enjoy this but I'm not one of them.

I enjoyed this one a lot. A good second chance romance + a secret baby were all I'm living for these days. I just can't see myself touching a fantasy if it's not ACOWAR. Soooo... I'll just drown myself in contemporaries until May 2nd (or until my copy arrives).

Triggers: secret pregnancy
No cheating, no OM/OW, both celibate during separation.
Given all of the above it was a crap read. I have rarely seen a crude, cold and insensitive hero who claims to be in love with the heroine.
He has played the blame game till almost the end. Never manned up to even think his past questionable actions might be the reason why things might have gotten out of hand. She was a jaded single mum. He was hell bent on destroying her further. He even wanted another kid with her, without giving her any indication of stability in return, let alone promise of marriage or adoration. He basically kept on treating her like his whore/kept woman.
I was glad h was less of a push over. Even though she felt guilty, and there was massive chemistry, she has voiced her inability to serve him just for his pleasure. She had a kid, and she had to stay strong for the kid, and not let him destroy her beyond repair. Something the hero didn't consider at all.
His family however, was the sweetest, but it wasn't enough for me to like this book. I'm not going to talk about her brothers at all. I don't have any myself, but I have cousins, who would take a bullet for me in heartbeat, so I'm not going to give these sorry excuses of her brother any more consideration!

Story's main pairing is H/H ; Hero & Himself. Yeah. Talk about self absorbed.
H was a douche, self centered & cared only about his hurt feelings. h was a doormat & let everybody push her around. Crud. I really am so disappointed by this.
I initially wrote like a 4 paragraph rant but goodreads deleted my rant is it because I used cuss words? I even made bullets of reasons why i hated this! I DNF'ed this.
Man goodreads I spent 30 mins typing that rant!
Bottom line: H was a DOUCHE , and despite learning h's struggles he was STILL caught up with his hurt pride. Was a complete and utter selfish bastard.
This book would have actually made it to my "Book I actually, sincerely, genuinely hate" shelf if i even bothered shelving my books. It would have been the first and ONLY book in that shelf. Bec. I don't hate books. If it isn't amazing then it's forgettable - but this book....now this book I won't forget bec. I actually hate it!
H also takes the cake for being "Heroes I actually, sincerely, genuinely hate" shelf front runner.
Man I hate this book. I just....It was a freaking disaster.

Just boring. And the plot and drama was kinda ott. Brothers who send the heroine away because she's pregnant. The brothers are written as moron bullies. The hero was so cold-ish when he found out about the kid. It didn't show any warm, cute bonding between father and baby. Even the relationship between h/H was lukewarm.

i have some thoughts…
Ok so this wasn’t the worst I’ve read, but there were some bumps that stopped it from being awesome.
I love the “secret baby” trope, it’s a classic for a reason, and that’s why I picked this one up. However it wasn’t very clear as to why the heroine left. Did her brothers lie to her about seeing the hero cheat on her (he didn’t) or does she run for some other reason? this wasn’t resolved satisfactorily for me.
Here’s how it’s laid out: h comes back to town after disappearing for a year. Hero has been gutted and devastated at her disappearance. Before she rabbited, they’d been seeing each other secretly and one day, she’s just gone. She never even calls to tell him they’re broke up. Or leaves him an angry text. Nothin. It’s radio silence and that was shitty.
When she comes back, he’s angry and bitter and wants revenge. He wants to fuck her out of his system. He doesn’t trust her. And finding out he’s a dad: there was no emotional oomph. Between finding out and meeting his baby, the whole thing felt lackluster. We never get to see him bond with the baby. And heroine never explains why she left the way she did.
I also didn’t like that the hero was depicted as a manwhore prior to being with the heroine and yet has always been drawn to her. They don’t really know one another before they secretly start dating, but they’ve seen each other around and felt a pull. Since there was attraction there, it made no sense to make him a manwhore. It seemed to only be used as a plot device so that way the heroine wouldn’t trust him and run away.
What I DID like was that the hero was faithful to heroine during separation. That was awesome.
What wasn’t awesome was condoms in the first smexy scene that completely ruined it. Like tossing cold water on a fire. The subsequent scenes are bare, skin on skin, so that rescued the steamy bits a bit.
All in all, it’s not a terrible story, it just could’ve been better and these elements stopped it from being really good and bringing the swoon.
Safeish. Even tho hero has seen heroine around school and the neighborhood, he’s a manwhore until he meets her and dates her. He’s faithful from that point on. Celibate during separation. Heroine is a virgin and belongs only to the hero, gives him the gift of claiming all her firsts. No others, no cheating or abuse. HEA with epilogue

Kennedy and Drew. Honestly I finished this a couple days ago and am already forgetting the plot. But I did enjoy it. The book lists as over 400 pages but the majority of that is actually cr*p from the publisher for other books.
But anyways, Kennedy is a goody two shoes young girl who gets seduced by the hot male slut of the town. It's pretty much insta love, but her older brothers wreck it by kicking her out and telling her lies. She's not the brightest bulb on the planet and believes their lies.
Yes it's a secret baby story, but I actually love those. So I was entertained. Drew's initial reaction to her reappearance is pretty mean. He's a tad self absorbed and doesn't consider that there might be a good reason. But then again, there really wasn't a good reason, a fact the author likes to gloss over.
Most of the book is repetitive with lots of waffling and faulty logic by both characters. It was entertaining but kinda clueless. The H does reap what he sews a bit, in that his history of being the town manho causes Kennedy to distrust his sincerity. I do like to see that kind of comeuppance. Otherwise what's the point of making the guy a manho?? It certainly doesn't make him more romantic ; )

Some Spoilers
Overall, this was a cute read there were certain things that bugged me thought.
The Hero was clearly very in love/lust with the heroine and she feels the same way as its mentioned many many times how turned on she gets, however, when heroine tells him that she had his baby when she disappeared, at first he asks if its his, which I get was out of anger but throughout the book I did not feel this incredible love for his child. The Hero was alot more interested in getting in the heroines pants. It would have been nice to see his dad side but we don't really get that.
Also, them starting up a relationship based purely on sex kind of came out of nowhere, then the lets get married when the Hero didn't fully trust the heroine and the heroine wasn't sure if she was the only person Hero was sleeping with was stupid and annoying.

Drew tends to have some very convincing arguments, "well, it's our tradition. Anyway, I like carrying you. It makes me feel strong and manly." I really loved this book, Drew was caring and sweet, and persistent once he got over his ***holey phase.

HEARTFIRE is a beautiful romance love story and I hated when it was over. Drew is a firefighter who is the sweetest guy out there and yes, he is somewhat of a ladies man. He meets Kennedy Stewart and falls for her. She has had a hard life due to her rough and mean brothers. When he sees Kennedy, he changes. They connect and their chemistry is off the wall insane; but Kennedy disappeared he didn’t know what to think and he did stay true to her. When Kennedy comes back with a baby, then Drew changed—he didn’t believe she stayed true to him. Their love story goes thru these huddles and this is where I was on the edge of my seat. What would Kennedy do? Will she even stick around and prove to him she was faithful and that she has stayed true? Kennedy is part of a very strict and super religious family who very much believe NO SEX AT ALL BEFORE MARRIAGE! If you do so then you are a dirty whore and then disowned. Well, she got kicked out of the house by her brothers and she does NOT tell Drew about the baby because the way she sees it, she honestly did not think he would want to know. Then when she does come back to town about 7 months later to finally tell him about the baby, it is clear she was right. Oh poor Kennedy. Oh the ups and downs of their romance but this is the secret baby story and its how Drew handles himself and will he ever want to, now knowing he has a baby. Will he really open his heart up to the fact he has a child and will he believe or will he keep denying? Kennedy is one strong woman and here is where their story really gets good!! Its not all rainbows and unicorns, its when the going gets tough, who sticks and who goes. I loved how Ms. Blake wrote this story with all the ups and downs showing everything that could go wrong that does but will they or wont they? Trust me, this is one story you do NOT want to miss!! Drew and Kennedy are an awesome couple and their 2nd chance love story is one for the books.

Ok so innocent virgin from a religious family fucks with man white Andrea, a fireman and town hero. One day she just disappears and leave Andrew heartbroken.
Lo and behold, her religious asshole brothers kick her out and throw her to her aunts place because she... PREGNANT. Wow.
She comes home, surprised as fuck, that no one is there to great her.. except for her quirky cousin.
She seeks out Andrew, and again, surprisingly, he hates her... because she didn’t tell him where she was! Hahahah wow!! He’s basically a grade fucking A asshole! His thoughts are disturbing and just very asshole like.
One night she decides to go out with her cousin after moping around like a sore loser. She has this sexy get up and boom! Andrew seems her and goes all asshole caveman in her! Drags her out! Says mean things to her! Decides he wants her all to himself! Drags her to his house! To fuck her and SHE AGREES!! The fuck. Oh and he mentions he loves her in a hiss. What a capital Dick!
Then even more shit happens- yes- more SHIT
Andrew said “I'm going to get you out of my system Kennedy. If it's the last thing I do. I'll fuck you a thousand times if that what it takes.” And that’s when it dawned to her that she’s just a fucking tramp. Of course, she isn’t. But she let her sexual needs come first. A trait I hate so much in a girl, especially in this type of scenario.
There was third part where he came to a realisation.. and like all he said and bought about was like how he’s never had her “delectable body” again. Total slut. The guy is a fucking manwhore and isn’t going to apologise about it. Oh, I mean he mention his son... once or twice but that’s it...
I didn’t finish this book. And I hate NOT finishing a book. It even took a lot to get me to where I stopped 😂 it was just bad! ALL BAD!!

A trait I hate so much in a girl, especially in this type of scenario.
There was third part where he came to a realisation.. and like all he said and bought about was like how he’s never had her “delectable body” again. Total slut. The guy is a fucking manwhore and isn’t going to apologise about it. Oh, I mean he mention his son... once or twice but that’s it...
I didn’t finish this book. And I hate NOT finishing a book. It even took a lot to get me to where I stopped 😂 it was just bad! ALL BAD!!

No he conectado para nada con los personajes, al menos con el de Drew. Pese a que al principio me gusta, me parece excesivo el comportamiento que tiene cuando vuelve Kennedy. Entiendo que pueda estar dolido, pero se convierte en una persona horrible, que lo único que quiere es humillarla, y en ningún momento me hace sentir lo contrario.
Want to read

OMG..................I abolutely loved this book.
I was pulled in from chapter one and if it was for taking such strong pain killers I probably would of finished it last night.
This book it a wonderful read and light hearted book if you know what I mean. There is a lot of content and the emotions you can feel them dripping from the pages. I laughed at this book, I cried and I got frustrated and I cried a bit more.
The main couple in this book go through a lot and the nice thing about it is the fact that I knew exactly what the female character was going through as I had been there in my youth.
I have to admit this book is going into my go to pile - that is books I re-read when I can't decide what I want to read.
I am secretly hoping that Joanna Blake will one day get her books on to audible as I would be first in line to get them.
Joanna Blake this book is brilliant and one I would highly recommend, it is so worth more than 5 stars. I now have to decide which book I of yours I am gonna read next.

Drew and Kennedy were inseparable when they were together; she ended up pregnant and her brothers threw her out of the house and called her a whore; they told her that Drew was cheating with a lot of other girls - she believed them and left town. She decided to come back, little boy in tow, Drew needed to know he had a son, Kyle. He had been drinking a lot, he couldn't get her off his mind, he didn't know why she up and left - but when he seen she was back, he was livid, what the hell. Kennedy told him about their son, he did step up, but was a miserable jerk to her - through the misunderstanding, and finally getting their feelings out and the truth was told - the brothers confronted, they were able to get back to the life they both wanted, together loving each other and raising their son - and living happily ever after.

I absolutely loved this book and I couldn't put it down.
HOT SHOT is a beautifully written story about second chances and how to rebuild your life after massive misunderstandings and heartache.
If you like Joanna Blake books you really need to one click this book straight away and enjoy getting wrapped up in Drew and Kennedy.
This book is set in Brooklyn NY and revolves around the beautiful shy Kennedy Stewart who has had a hard life thanks to her brutish brothers.
Drew Callaway is a fire fighter who has a reputation for being a ladies man but all that changes when he gets his hands and heart on Kennedy.
Their chemistry is white hot off the charts and you can't help but route for them to get back together but it's not made easy for them.
If they want it they will have to get over the past and give in to love again.
I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did.

I loved it! It was a bit different from what I normally expect from Joanna Blake but that is definitely a good thing. Actually if I didn't know any better, I'd say it was written by someone else. The voice just seemed so completely different from her other books.I liked the slow burn between the two main characters and I'd LOVE it if Kennedy's cousin Jamie and Drew's friend Lowe got their own story (hint hint!).

I absolutely couldn't put this down & loved it!! I love second chances too. Second chances reminds me that we all have hearts. I just didn't like the timeline & how it was interpreted in my head. It kept screwing with me. I also don't like Kennedy's brothers too much. I do know that even with everything that was going on Drew & Neddy never gave up & wished they had communicated better. To save each other's heartache, but that's life.
Thank-You!!
Thank-You!!

A Second Chance to Rekindle the Fire
4.5 ✨
From the moment he saw Kennedy he knew she was something special. The night of the charity auction he got his chance. What led from there was a steamy secret love affair that ended when Kennedy became pregnant. Drew never what happened just that girl he lived up and disappeared. But, now she’s back and this this Drew refuses to lose her again. This story was emotion, frustrating, sweet, funny, and most definitely hot!

Who doesn't love a hot firefighter?
I loved Drew! He may have been a player before Kennedy but he fell head over heels; then her hateful brothers talked her into thinking that he was just using her. Even after Kennedy's return, she was still skittish and mistrustful of Drew. Glad that they finally worked their $h!t out.

Heroin was WEAK😢
I love Joanna Blake but this book could've been so much better if the Neddy had made him work for it more. She was too giving and needed to be more if a strong woman. She had a child and needed to be a strong eoman not only for herself but her son. Give these women more backbone Joanna....please.

Drew & Kennedy
I really enjoyed reading Hot Shot, wanted to slap the crap out of Drew multiple times before he wised up and realized exactly what was going on. I’m glad that Kennedy and Drew found their happy ever after.
