Singed!

by Renee Wynn

Kelly Marlowe's main focus was getting into law school and to prove to her unfeeling parents she could make it on her own. But fate put Hunter Carlyle in her path. He was rich, older and determined to make her his. Now with an unplanned pregnancy and marriage, her life shifted but her dreams didn't. Trouble with the Carlyle patriarch, lack of communication and Hunter's ex-lover determination to win him back at any cost caused Kelly to stumble. But Kelly knew she couldn't wait until the battle was over to fight for what she wanted.

I have read every book this author has written and loved them all. This story was very different in a good way to all her previous books.

This is Hunter and Kelly's story. This is the whole story, the beginning, the middle and the end. It showed us how this love developed, hit the bumps and curves in the road and then turned into a mature, forgiving and endurable love.

I am so thankful that the author did not decide to split the book in 2 parts but gave us the full story in one hit. I for one truly appreciated that I would have hated to wait to find out how the couple handled their issues in another book.

There was a minor downloading issue with the book, if you experience any issues at all call Amazon and they will fix it in 5 minutes.

This was an riveting page turner of a story and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Kelly did need to grow and mature because she could not handle the relationship when they first met but she matured and was then able to step into her future.

Excellent read and I would highly recommend this book.

A Very Good and Sensual Interracial Romance

Singed! A Very Good and Sensual Interracial Romance that earned a rating of four stars. When Hunter met Kelly it was love at first sight, but for Kelly not so much. Their Love and marriage had a lot of obstacles to overcome inside and outside their marriage before finding their way back to each other. I enjoyed reading this book and found it to be inspirational on forgiveness and acceptance. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading very good romantic novels

I thought this was ok. I wasn't blown away but it was decent. I felt like this dragged in some places. Then I was too through when then she got engaged to the other guy who was kind of insane. She said she had all these warning bells but did it anyway. And as old as Hunter was, I felt like he acted like toddler for most of the book.

I was also disappointed with the character development; I felt like the parents were more caricatures as opposed to characters. They were just too over the top for me.

But, despite those failings, I felt like the story was decent enough to keep me interested. It had a nice amount of spice too. I wouldn't give up on this author. I'll try another book and see what happens.

Good Book

*Spoiler Alert* The storyline was good....I was upset with Kelly, she didn't take responsibility for the major part she played in what happened. Don't get me wrong, he was dead wrong for cheating...but he was drinking and thinking his wife and he wouldn't have even been in that head space or place, if she would have talked to her husband....her own friend was telling her she was wrong....so although he messed up BIG TIME.....she is the one that put the bullet in the gun and handed it to her assailant!!!!!

I loved this book

Hunter and Kelly's story. So much of this book is real life. Sometimes we get married to young, we bring unresolved issues into the marriage, we sometimes bring a pass relationship into the marriage we see the relationship as over but the other person see something else. We have some families members that don't think you are good enough for their son or daughter. We marry for the wrong reasons, you have one goal and your spouse has a different goal, lack of communication. This book has all of that and more. Wonderful read. Love the HEA. Hope there will be books in the future about Hunter's siblings.

Sentiment filled

Just finished reading Singed. Wonderful book, filled with a lot of love, sadness, Love again and happiness. This was the story of Kelly and Hunter. Kelly and Hunter met, fell in love and got married. But, these two individuals brought a lot of emotional baggage into the union that eventually caused them to split apart. Hurt and the inability to acknowledge the inner pain they both carried, kept them apart for six long years . Destiny, however won out. These two were meant to be and eventually found their way back together. Good read for

Pain from the past

I’ve read other books by this author before and this is another great read. I must say the ending was weak. I guess I was expecting more. Maybe another baby, a big wedding, Hunter’s father blowing a gasket. Something! The bad guys were just too quiet! That’s why I couldn’t honestly give this five stars.

I loved Hunter’s and Kelly’s story; even though Kelly got on my nerves.

True love

This is the absolutely the BEST book I have read this year , and I have read a lot. This was so beautiful. The characters development was exciting to see throughout the book. I went through so many emotions as I read this story. This book was brilliantly executed. The journey had turbulence but it was all worth while. I recommend it 1000%.

[Joyce · Rating 4 out of 5]

I liked the story quite a bit although I felt the author was a little extra with the drama which wasn't necessary.

Too long and needed more life in the main characters

Note to self: a bit too long; almost like a two parter.
