Her Kensington

The Cocktail Girls #15

by Tracy Lorraine

This second chance is about to start with a bang.

Waking up with no recollection of the night before isn’t always a bad thing, as Summer is about to find out.

Now he’s got her back, Harrison refuses to leave Vegas alone. Unfortunately, that means keeping some pretty huge secrets. Two, in fact.

As Summer embarks on her new life, it soon becomes clear that not everything is as it seems.

Will Harrison’s past be too much to handle, or is she ready to face the challenges about to come her way?

Her Kensington is the conclusion to Tracy Lorraine’s British Billionaire romance, His Manhattan.

In brief: sweet revisit

"His Manhattan" was the first book I read by this author, and I enjoyed it so much that I asked to be notified when she had new books coming out so that I could grab them up. Thankfully, I saw this unexpected part 2 treat of that first story when it became available and pounced on it! So much fun to get to revisit this couple, especially after the explosive ending (explosive in a good way!) that the first book left us.

"Her Kensington" opens the very next morning from where we left off -- but Harrison and Summer got married the night before as the "explosion" led to some celebratory drinking and gambling, which, as this series takes place in Vegas, was not totally surprising to discover. Summer is at first a little hesitant about packing it up and moving half a world away, especially since she has never even been on an airplane before, but she quickly discovers that life with Harrison is all she never knew she wanted and needed. They are blissfully happy with one exception: Harrison's ex-wife. Though that relationship has been long dead and over, his ex still enjoys toying with him and holding things over his head. Little does Summer know, Harrison has held back some pretty important details about his past that may be difficult for Summer to accept.

Loved the chemistry and heat (& steamy goodness!) between these two as they are clearly smitten with each other --- "couple goals!" The plot was very fast-moving (I finished it in one sitting), and because of the connection the reader feels to these main characters, the investment in their HEA makes it flow easily. The angst factor felt a little forced, but it was at least resolved relatively quickly and not overly drawn out. Also, the story is told via dual first person POV, so there were a few times it seems that the author (who is British) slipped in words that didn't match Summer (she was born, raised, and had never been outside the United States). Other than that, a very enjoyable read!

Plot --- 4.5/5
Main Characters --- 5/5
Supporting Case --- 4/5
Steam Level --- 3/5
Violence --- none
Language --- there's a pretty decent sprinkling of f-bombs (doesn't bother me in the least, but I know some people are put off by it)
POV --- Dual

This is the second part of "His Manhattan" and while I was reading that, my heart stopped at the last page but thankfully, the author, Tracy Lorraine gave us this conclusion for these soul-mates. Now, the journey to their happily ever after is a rocky one because there are some doubts, some secrets hidden that should have been exposed a long time ago, there's a bit of mistrust, pain, anger, sorrow, can't forget passion and love. There's a bit of everything and will definitely keep you on your toes while reading this but there's a happy ending after all!

Harrison wasn't ready to give up on Summer and the beginning of this installment starts up after a drunken night together. Summer wakes to a pounding head and happens to find Harrison in bed with her. Unsure what has happened until he calls her his wife and panic sets in. Harrison isn't about to let Summer have regrets or anxiety about them so he leads her on a trip down memory lane of the night before. After which he loads his bride onto a plane to have their honeymoon before reality can set in. However Summer doesn't realize what she's in for considering Harrison has been keeping a few things from her. Can they make their relationship work with all the obstacles? Will Summer take off after learning what Harrison has kept from her?


This is a great story once I started it I couldn't put it down. The chemistry between them is off the charts hot. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

A fantastic romantic story!
Her Kensington, The Cocktail Girls, by author Tracy Lorraine is a worthy conclusion to His Manhattan where Summer, a LBD Waitress and Harrison, a U.K. Antique Dealer meet in Vegas. In this story they are married and move to a London where a huge surprise is revealed to Summer and leaves her with an important decision to make about their future.
I liked this story as the author did a great job continuing, advancing, then bring the story to a satisfying conclusion. Now I want to read more of of this author and in fact I've downloaded Ruined Plains based on the sneak peak that was included at the end of the book.
I highly recommend this book and author for your reading pleasure and enjoyment.
I am volunteering to leave a review of this advanced review book.

This is the continuation of the book His Manhattan and we get to find out more about Harrison. Harrison and Summer is in Vegas and she drinks to much and wakes up in the morning with a wedding ring on her finger. She doesn’t remember what happened but Harrison said they got married. Summer loves Harrison and decides she must have wanted to get married and they leave for Greece for a honeymoon. They leave for London after the honeymoon and they arrive at his house. She soon realizes that he’s keeping secrets and doesn’t know what to think. She’s not sure what she’s getting into if her husband can keep life altering secrets from her. Can he convince her why he did what he did and try to give their marriage a chance?

Compelling conclusion to His Manhattan.

In the first book, Harrison met Summer at the LBD where she worked in Vegas. Their whirlwind romance was full of insta-love but left a lot of questions unanswered. Now, we find out what was so important that Harrison had to return to London on a moment's notice.

While Harrison has to overcome a past betrayal, Summer has to adjust to just about every aspect of her life being changed with the move to London with Harrison. These two have to carefully build on their initial lust with honesty and transparency in order to carve out their lasting HEA.

This was a light and sweet novella, with plenty of steam and an emphasis on family unity. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

[Laila Viking · Rating 4 out of 5]

The sequel for HIS MANHATTAN and I recommend reading that one first. That is to get the whole picture and background. Absolutely worth the read. It is well written and takes off where the first left us.
It has a great storyline and plot. The chemistry between the main characters is hot and the story flows well of the pages.
Harrison is so in love but he has a lot of bagage to deal with. Summer was uprooted from all she knew and now has to deal with that. Complications - yes, a lot of them. But can they manage to overcome and have their HEA?
I like the family aspect of the story. It has steamy and hot scenes but they suit the story and does not overtake the it.
Absolutely a quick and enjoyable read. I was caught from first to last page. I would have wished it was longer.

A new book and author to me, I did read the first book, His Manhattan. In this novella, we carry on from the original storyline when Summer and Harrison meet each other at the LBD where Summer worked in Vegas. Their insta-love romance was amazing but left a lot of questions unanswered. Finally, we find out why Harrison had to return to London so quickly. While both have major adjustments to make, Summer also moves to London. Their love is new. They have a lot to learn about each other. This is sweet but also spicy.

i read this book as part of an arc program. This is a continuation of Tracy's book from the Cocktail Girls series, His Manhattan. In this story, Summer wakes up after a night of too much drinking and finds herself with Harrison in a hotel suite and learns they were married the night before. Summer doesn't remember the wedding, but knows she is happy to be his bride. Harrison wants Summer to go back to London with him to start their life. Summer is nervous and thinks Harrison has hidden something from her, but decides to wait and see what happens when they arrive in London. I enjoyed this story. It gives their love story a happy ending even if it takes a bit to get there. Well done.

[Michelle Vandal · Rating 5 out of 5]

I'm so glad Tracy Lorraine decided to add more to her Cocktail Girks story, His Manhatten. I thoroughly enjoyed this story and its ability to give me MORE of a story I loved in the first place.

Her Kensington is the continuation of Summer & Harrisons story. It's what happens after the sexy Brit she fell in love with comes back to whisk her away. Is Harrison the man he seems to be or is he too good to be true?

This story has more romance, more steam & more love. If you loved His Manhattan then you don't want to miss Her Kensington. HEA? You bet your knickers 😉

What can I say, another fantastic read by Tracy Lorraine.

I loved the first book in this series and now we’ve got the second book and we find out all the unanswered questions we had from book one.

I love these characters, the love for each other and the instant romance is just so lovely. We follow them in book two learning all about Harrison’s past, their honeymoon and enjoying been back with this lovable couple.

Tracy yet again has written a brilliant second book in this series. Everything she writes I love and can’t recommend these two books enough. Brilliant 5 ⭐️ read.

[Debra Richardson · Rating 5 out of 5]

A really passionate and exciting read! The saga of Harrison and Summer continues in this amazing well-developed book. Beautifully written and emotionally deep, they face a number of ups and downs as they settle into marriage life and all the changes that come with it. Their chemistry is off the charts, their sex scenes are steamy and intense, and their love is powerful and sweet. An interesting enjoyable read that I take great pleasure in recommending.

After Summer imbibes too much champagne, she and Harrison tie the knot in Vegas. They go on a honeymoon in Greece and then it’s off to London. She is still out of sorts that everything has happened so quickly. She starts looking into art schools and he still has quite the surprise to reveal. His PA and ex are besties and she makes it known she is not happy about the marriage and look out. This is the follow up to His Manhattan. It’s always nice to find out what happens after the I do’s.

I loved this Cocktail Series and this is the second book in the series. The fact that Harrison,our hero, is a British alpha male is even better. hes got his eyes set to full beam on Summer and he means business. This is a great fun read by Tracy Lorraine which is well written with fabulous characters who heat up the room whenever they are together. A few very nice twists to the storyline that kept me focussed on the book from beginning to end.A real page turner and light hearted read.

[Kathleen Bradbury (Bulfon) · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is one of those hidden gems in my opinion. I was expecting a book where they see each other and hit it off right away. With a great deal of hot steamy sexy times. That the hero was into having control. Well, he is but not the way I thought. What I got was something more. They have great chemistry and attraction. I also got heavy drama, I would recommend this to anyone!! Who loves Holiday Romances!!

An interesting and engaging story that is well written. This is a follow up to His Manhattan and is entertaining and includes great interactions. The characters are exciting, well developed and share amazing chemistry and passion. I enjoyed this whirlwind romance that ends with marriage but Harrison is withholding secrets. I loved following this storyline thru many obstacles that threatens their relationship or can they be overcome to get a HEA.

This was a wonderful story of growth and forgiveness, between a older man and a younger women.
When I first started to read this book I was a little confused, it seemed like I was in the middle of the story, but all became to light when I read the Acknowledgement at the back of the book.

Great story with dual POV...

Great addition. So far I've enjoyed the books under the "Cocktail Girls" series and this one hooked me from the beginning. Summer wakes up married to Harrison and she decides to give the marriage a chance, so they spend their honeymoon in Greece. When the honeymoon ends they go to Harrison's home in England. While there she realizes he's hiding something and begins to wonder if she should stay married. When she finds out what he's hiding does she stay or go back to Las Vegas?

Her Kensington: A British Billionaire Romance (The Cocktail Girls Book 2) by Tracy Lorraine is a Contemporary, New Adult Romance. This is the second book and the conclusion, in the series and its starts right were the first one His Manhattan stops. A cute, fun short that's well-written, good storyline and likable characters with a hot chemistry. Better to read book one first.

Fantastic!! It was a beautifully written conclusion to Summer and Harrison's story. There was some surprises added in that I simply didn't see coming but is was beautiful. Real true love.

The cross over with Dean, Erin and Bax was a total surprise and I admit I did a squeal and a happy dance, I love when an author intertwines their books and worlds.I'm really rooting for Dean and Frankies story now.
