Kitty Hamilton
Katherine Hamilton has lived her life below the radar until one day when she accidentally spills her coffee on Hunter Wood, a renowned porn star. It's love at first sight, or at least it is for Katherine, who then decides to pursue a career in porn to make Hunter fall in love with her. There's only one problem. Katherine is a virgin.
Kingsley Delanoy is a drifter in the world with a passion for BMX. He's catnip to the girls at school with his brown eyes and wisps of dark hair peeking out from beneath his backward cap.
Who better to teach Katherine everything she needs to learn to prepare her for the world of porn than Kingsley?
Armed with a new alias, Kitty sets her sights on Hunter Wood. But there is a lot more to the brooding, unattainable Kingsley than first meets the eye, and soon Kitty has a choice to make.
The heart is a fickle thing. It doesn't always know what it wants. How do you figure out its calling before it's too late?

Certainly! I saw in the description that the heroine is a virgin, I plunged into this book.
But a book with an unpleasant surprise, because there
the acceleration from virgin to world porn star is very fast! Epilogue - the hero Kingsley, with whom she lost her virginity, who was jealous of her and did not want her to go to the first audition, after years of her career in the porn industry, he proposed to her..
I'm just crying!!!!😤😤😢😭😡

"Ask me if I've ever been in love"
"Yes I have, with Kingsley Delanoy!"
Eighteen year old Katherine (Kitty) Hamilton accidentally bumps and spills coffee all over the man of her dreams, who also happens to be famous porn star - Hunter Wood. From that day on, she puts plans into motion which are:
✅️ Make Hunter Wood fall in love with her
✅️ Audition for his new adult movie
✅️ Marry Hunter Wood
The only thing is ... she's a virgin. Cue Kingsley, the dark brooding guy at school from the wrong side of the tracks, who can get any girl he wants. Maybe he can help her on her quest?
As the story unravelled I felt like I was watching a chick flick comedy. The hot rich girl with the crazy ideas but has just enough luck to pull them off. The guy who is the under dog who is clearly in love with her. The best friends who support their crazy friend no matter what. These kind of movies are my guilty pleasure and as I continued to read I thought I could predict what would happen next and it would all be nice and fluffy....until it wasn't.
Katherine grew from a naive, rich, highschool girl to a woman with very adult problems. It was a pleasure to watch her grow. I don't usually get too emotional in books and yet I managed to feel every thing Kitty felt. A tear or two may have trickled down my cheek as I read.
I'll be honest, I'm not usually one for a high school romance especially the virgin trope. Usually h's are portrayed as pretty clueless but Kitty embraced her sexuality, she ate it up! Ha, I loved her confidence. I think the fact we were able to watch the characters grow from high schoolers to adults also made all the difference.
I have to mention- Kingsley wore his cap backwards A LOT, I just can't so no to a man with a backwards cap! Ughhhhhh 🥵
I hate to admit it but I totally would've been one of the girls fawning all over Kingsley in high school 😏
This book has
➡️ some dual POV
➡️ high school romance (18 y/o)
➡️ age gap
➡️ second chance romance

A rollercoaster of emotions. Love. Grief. Loss. Joy. Lust. But also a really fun read.
Harleigh has a way of creating characters that you can imagine being in an angsty & sexy young adult drama on Netflix. Her books deal with a range of emotions and her protagonist always has a lesson to learn, usually after having their hearts filled with love then shattered into a thousand pieces.
There's just something about Kitty Hamilton (and Counter Bet) that is nostalgic, like reliving some of my favourite young adult dramas when I was the same age. And don't worry, smut fans, there's plenty of spice too ❤️🔥
If you enjoy shows like Euphoria, Riverdale and Skins or video games like Life is Strange, then you'll probably enjoy this book.

A Must Read
Steamy, passionate, angsty, full of missed chances and second chances. I adored this book, beautiful writing, a great story and the sexy scenes are perfection! I’ve never read a storyline like this and I loved it!

Wow, this was a tough one. It was so, so good, but there were parts that were emotionally hard to read. It was sweet, spicy and heart wrenching. There were parts that made me tear up, and I can’t remember the last time I did that over a book.
Katherine (Kitty) Hamilton runs into a porn star one day and decides he’s the man she is going to marry. Having no experience she convinces her school’s resident man whore Kingsley to educate her so she can go get her man. Along the way they discover there is more to the other person than was first apparent and they fall in love. The way these two very different people connected was lovely and I really enjoyed seeing how their differences brought them closer. Due to miscommunications, stupid decisions, mostly his,some age related they fall apart and have to work to come back to each other.
The chemistry between Kingsley and Katherine was intense and it moved fast. The first spicy scene was only 10% into the book. The first 2/3 of the book had some seriously spicy scenes. However, there was little to no spice in the final third of the book making the book feel a little unbalanced from that perspective.
This book was a lovely story about falling apart, coming back together and how even the wrong decisions can lead you to where you are meant to be. I highly recommend everyone read this!

Review of “Kitty Hamilton” by Harleigh Beck - review copy
After I read my first book from Harleigh, I was sold right away. So when I found out, that Kitty was on the Way out, I was excited about is was the same as counterbet or something else.
Katherine Hamilton has lived her life below the radar until one day when she accidentally spills her coffee on Hunter Wood, a renowned porn star. It's love at first sight, or at least it is for Katherine, who then decides to pursue a career in porn to make Hunter fall in love with her. There's only one problem. Katherine is a virgin.
Kingsley Delanoy is a drifter in the world with a passion for BMX. He's catnip to the girls at school with his brown eyes and wisps of dark hair peeking out from beneath his backward cap.
Who better to teach Katherine everything she needs to learn to prepare her for the world of porn than Kingsley?
Armed with a new alias, Kitty sets her sights on Hunter Wood. But there is a lot more to the brooding, unattainable Kingsley than first meets the eye, and soon Kitty has a choice to make.
The heart is a fickle thing. It doesn't always know what it wants. How do you figure out its calling before it's too late?
Assessment:
I felt right away a connection with Kitty, and at the same time I could feel her feelings so much, that I thought it was me going trough, that she did - and l loved it. I really like the conversations between Kitty and Hunter, because there is said even more than there is written - and Harleigh is so good at making it believable enough for the reader. The cover is beautiful and you get a snip of what the book is about, but there is hiding a something bigger than that behind the cover and it so amazing. I’m totally fan of the way that Harleigh get the reader so fast and invite the reader to the story by the first word.
I’m giving 6 burning hearts out of 6 burning hearts, because when I was done, I didn’t have any words left because I was melted to the ground, and lived half in a freezer…. I was amazed and loving the story so bad, and I look forward to the next book from Harleigh…
If you haven’t read anything from yet - get starting your melting process…

Katherine and Kingsley
You ever watch one of those teen movies that has a plot so outrageous that it makes it fun? That was my impression after the first couple of chapters of this read. Katherine is this confident, strong-willed and tenacious girl who decides she’s going to marry this porn star she bumped into in a coffee shop one day. Determined to make him fall for her, she commissions the school hottie to teach her sex so that she can audition for him.
I loved Katherine’s character and the push-and-pull of her relationship with Kingsley. I liked so many of the supporting characters as well, including the guys from detention, but especially her best friends, Becky and Hazel. All of these interactions were witty and entertaining.
Just when I thought I had this book figured out, I was thrown a curveball. I didn’t expect the story to go where it went as it spans several years after high school. There is sadness, regret, and bittersweet moments between Katherine and Kingsley, but I couldn’t help but route for them. If I had one critique it would be to have more on their lives together.
I would recommend this book if you enjoy friends-to-lovers and friends-with-benefits tropes.

Review for Kitty Hamilton
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Well that evoked feelings in me that I was not expecting. While this novel is smutty, sexy, and devourable, it was also emotional, thought provoking and powerful.
"Katherine Hamilton has lived her life under the radar as an innocent ammenable virgin, until a coffee shop blunder with a gorgeous Porn star unleashes a passion she never knew was burning. She will marry this man and she will go to any length to get there. Even if that means losing her virginity and preparing for a world of porn. What she doesn't factor in, is when love gets in the way"
I adored Kitty - everything she stood for as a young, talented, independent woman, the passion she had for what she believed in, what she aspired to in life was admirable. She had a real deep, emotional side to her that I feel Harleigh Beck brought out beautifully without taking away her naughty side.
The story was fairly simple - a true boy meets girl, but what you don't feel until your invested is that is never really is that simple. Not when feelings play a part. I love the authors writing style, the simplicity made it an easy read but one I did not want to put down.
Thank you so much for a copy of your book in exchange for an honest review.

After reading ‘Counter Bet’ I was so excited for ‘Kitty Hamilton’ but when reading the first chapter I honestly wasn’t sure if I was going to get on with this book or the character of Kitty, I mean fair play, she was ambitious and head strong from the start but I thought surely the main female character isn’t going to be that naive? My view soon changed, I had fallen for Katherine AND Kingsley within a few chapters and I was hooked!
Beck develops her characters quickly but you don’t feel like you’ve missed anything, it feels like very natural growth. Her supporting characters are brilliant (detention guy!!!) and all feel fully formed, like they should be part of the story. This book sends you on a rollercoaster of emotions, there’s love, lust, anger, fear, heartbreak… so much heartbreak *sob* it’s what I’ve come to expect now from Harleigh Beck, I love it!
If you’ve read ‘Counter Bet’ I 100% recommend that you read ‘Kitty Hamilton’! So excited for more from Harleigh Beck.

*4.3 stars*
Woah.
Spicy much?
Sooo... all of a sudden @60%, this book got kind of, deep?
OBSESSED.
At the beginning, it was REALLY spicy, and I just-I just- I JUST-
it was spicy.
It was REALLY spicy, and at first I though it was going to stay that way the entire book which I didn't like btw, but then the book BLEW. MY. MIND. Like, woahhhhhh! There were SO. MANY. twists and turns and insane things happening that I couldn't put my Kindle down! And the ending was SO CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!! Definitely 18+ though, because... yeah. But I HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend!!!!!!! and it isn't just about the romance, either. It talks about grief, addictions, and basically following your heart which I KNOW sounds super cheesy, but the way the book does it, it is SO MOVING!
Also, no need to remind me how many caps I used in this review, because I get it. I am a very enthusiastic human being.

4.5 stars!!!
This was such a good read!
The premise is that Katherine Hamilton meets the man she thinks she wants to marry with an accident at a coffee shop.
There’s just one problem… He’s Hunter Wood, the biggest name in adult entertainment, and she’s an 18 year old virgin. So she enlists the schools biggest player to “coach” her…. What’s the worst that could happen? 😂
I love Harleigh Becks FMC’s!!! They are flawed, vulnerable, yet confident af! Katherine, or Kitty is no exception. She makes decisions and sticks them out, good or bad. Kingsley is damaged and can’t decide if he’s in or out, which causes some major heartbreak for everyone. Hunter is a right creep!!!
The side characters were so heartwarming and fully formed. They added so much to this story!!!
The #netherregionstingles were pretty fire for this one. Lots of 🥵 dirty talk and dominance.
I recommend this one to anyone looking for a friends with benefits trope who doesn’t mind the characters sleeping with other people and a lot of heartbreak and maybe some ugly cries before the HEA!!!

An odd read, but overall I enjoyed it
Katherine (Kitty) gives me neurodivergent vibes. I couldn't quite put my finger on it the whole book. I really didn't expect the last 30% of the book. Beck's other books are labeled dark high school romances, and this is one as well.

Right, well. I don't even know where to start writing an actual review on Kitty Hamilton by @author_harleighbeck I didn’t think it was possible for Harleigh to top Counter bet but my good god. I've contemplated for days on putting into words my thoughts on this but and it's pretty much impossible because this book is just that amazing. You can tell how much Harleigh's writing has come on from her first book and that was a 5 star from me so God knows how I can rate this! I don't know like a million star?! ⭐ This book has so much emotion it brought me to sobbing tears several times (I've still not forgiven Harleigh for making me cry) Kitty Hamilton is nothing short of book hangover material. Following the ups and downs of Katherine's journey through life and following her dreams, she is such a determined character and won't let anyone tell her she can't make it. Then there's Kingsley, oh my Kingsley. How can you not love him! Seriously this book will rip your heart out, stomp all over it then pass you back the pieces to put back together. Harleigh babe, im so proud of you and I can't wait for you to tear me up inside with your next release 💔

I was given an advance readers copy of this book and have decided to write a voluntary honest review. This book was roller-coaster, I mean at first I thought she was crazy but her plan and idea was just that crazy. And I'm not talking about getting Kingsley involved I'm talking about her new career path. I was so angry at both these characters I didn't think they could cone back to redeeme themselves. I love Kingsley, not choices but him I loved him. I also loved that Katherine was a go getter. I really enjoyed this book. I definitely want more og these characters.

О, боже мой!!!Это потрясающе!!💗🔥📖! Такие американские горки!! Вы никогда не догодаетесь, о поворотах сюжета. Это освежает! Я столько никогда не смеялась, диалоги просто великолепны. А любовная линия это просто взрывоопасно и чертовски невероятно.. Но в этой истории есть и слёзы, много слёз😭💖

5/5
I don't know where to start with this book. Seriously, it's such a beautiful story that grows as you read...
I was hooked from the first sentence, the prologue is one of the best I've ever read! As I went through the pages I thought about the prologue and I was like.....what the hell!? I am very confused!!! The author knew how to play her cards to keep me on edge about that particular thing happening on the prologue.
And I fell in love with Kitty.... my Kitty 😍 She's my favourite female character at the minute. I had never read such an interesting character before. She's strong, stubborn, crazy as, funny and super adorable! And her development is fantastic. The key of this story is Kitty's and Kingsley's growth and how the plot grows with them. What looks like a lighthearted story led by crazy Kitty and her dreams turns into a very emotional read that broke my heart a couple of times.
I had read Counter Bet by the same author before and this is a very different book but still has the same banter and spice, which were two of my favourite things in Counter Bet and I can't get enough 😂 but seriously, Kitty Hamilton adds the heart, the emotions, the beautiful message.... I'm in love!
Kitty, you go girl, you're my hero 😍

"I think your shell needs to be cracked for the real Katherine to shine through."
I do not even know where to begin with this story. I am slowly making my way through Harleigh's backlist and when I say I LOVE this story...I mean it. Everything about is is so freaking amazing. From the very first sentence, to the somewhat meet-cute of Kitty and a certain person that results in her having a new mission in life, to the sweet and tender story that is her and Kingsley.
Katherine Hamilton knows what she wants and she will stop at nothing until she gets it. She has determination written all over her face. She will accomplish everything she sets her mind to. What she does struggle with is things coming out of nowhere and throwing her off balance. Enter Kingsley...the one plan she thought she had a handle on but turns out she most definitely did not.
These two....oh goodness these two are so adorable. He is the unattainable guy, the player, and yet it isn't long before Kath starts working her way into his heart. Katherine is the same way....she did not expect to catch feelings for Kingsley. What happens to these two along the way absolutely shattered my heart. He was not part of her plan and yet became so much more important than her plan.
Ms. Beck provides such a fun read with Kitty Hamilton. So many characters to love especially Geoffrey...oh that sweet man. I definitely was not expecting certain events that had my jaw hitting the floor so in true Harleigh fashion....she still has WTF moments even in her contemporary romances. Those that love a feel good story, love to get taken through an emotional ride, and have a wonderful HEA....Kitty Hamilton is definitely a book for you.

From the very first sentence, to the somewhat meet-cute of Kitty and a certain person that results in her having a new mission in life, to the sweet and tender story that is her and Kingsley.
Katherine Hamilton knows what she wants and she will stop at nothing until she gets it. She has determination written all over her face. She will accomplish everything she sets her mind to. What she does struggle with is things coming out of nowhere and throwing her off balance. Enter Kingsley...the one plan she thought she had a handle on but turns out she most definitely did not.
These two....oh goodness these two are so adorable. He is the unattainable guy, the player, and yet it isn't long before Kath starts working her way into his heart. Katherine is the same way....she did not expect to catch feelings for Kingsley. What happens to these two along the way absolutely shattered my heart. He was not part of her plan and yet became so much more important than her plan.
Ms. Beck provides such a fun read with Kitty Hamilton. So many characters to love especially Geoffrey...oh that sweet man. I definitely was not expecting certain events that had my jaw hitting the floor so in true Harleigh fashion....she still has WTF moments even in her contemporary romances. Those that love a feel good story, love to get taken through an emotional ride, and have a wonderful HEA....Kitty Hamilton is definitely a book for you.

Like the two stars on goodreads suggest...it was okay.
I feel like I really liked the overall premise of this book, but not so much how it was executed. It does read very immature to me but at the same time…these are high school characters so I suppose the tone and the voice match. But there was just something off about this one. It started off really good and promising and then I just feel like it went a bit off the rails for me. I didn’t particularly like the direction this one went and I honestly just kinda ended up skimming towards the end. I just wish that it went in a different direction, feel like the FMC was a bit all over the place, and also feel like the MMC was a dud to me. It was good for a little bit but quickly went downhill for me and I really wanted to like this one. Also there’s a lot of exclamation marks and at times it felt a bit too much for me. And I personally didn’t care for the repetitive phrase of ‘ask me if I’ve ever been in love’ or something to that effect. After the first couple times I was like what is the point? And I think that’s another reason why I didn’t like the direction the book took.

I really enjoyed this book! This is my first read from Harleigh Beck.
I liked the connection between Katherine and Kingsley. And you could feel that connection right from the beginning! The spicy scenes were great! Although sometimes it felt as if they weren't high school students but in their early 20's which was slightly confusing. Katherine went from high school aged virgin to porn star rather quickly. Being an adult entertainer and using drugs didn't seem to fit her personality of how it was portrayed in the beginning. However I really liked that Katherine did everything she set out to do even it it didn't end up the way she thought it would.
Kingsley is so swoon worthy and even though he thought he had nothing to offer he was everything!
The relationship between Katherine and Geoffrey was well written and pulled at my heart strings and him getting sick was so heartbreaking and sad and in the end Katherine did what was right by him.
In the end Katherine never gave up and fought for what she wanted.
I will definitely be reading more of Harleigh's books in the future!

What's up with the book community - is everyone sleeping on this masterpiece?! This one was a no-brainer five-star read for me. I'm hopelessly addicted to Harleigh Beck's writing, and diving into her dark side first was pure genius. But Kitty Hamilton? She completely stole the show. This is a whirlwind romcom that will capture your heart and refuse to let go. There were times I was laughing so hard I snorted, and even cried. I've never shed a tear over a book before, but this masterful storytelling got me all up in my feels. A testament to her writing skills HB can bring characters to life like nobody's business!
This is an absolute must read that deserves a lot of hype, give it all the hype!

I don't know what I was expecting when I read the blurb of this, but after reading a couple of Harleighs other books - I knew it would be good. I was definitely right.
Katherine meets a guy in a coffee shop, and decides to chase after him and become a pornstar like him. Only problem is Katherine is a virgin - queue her asking 'manwhore' Kingsley to help her.
These two were so damn cute together! Both trying to fight their feelings for each other, hurting each other along the way. Kingsley is such a super hot MMC!
Like with other Harleigh books, I devoured this.

Another wonderful book from Harleigh Beck!
I really enjoyed this book. Katherine is a total bada$$, and Kingsley is a good guy overall. I'm not a big fan of the "third act breakup," but I can see how it was needed. I feel like Katherine wasn't herself with Hunter, but I think that was the point. The ending was sad and her barely mentioned getting back with Kingsley. It just ends and then they are together in the epilogue. I really did like the book, though. I can’t wait to read more books from Harleigh!!

I haven’t cried this hard at a book in some time! Geoff was so sweet and like a dad and it was so saaaaaad 😭 considering that I thought we were going to see her as an adult actress I was a little disappointed that it didn’t go the non drug route but still enjoyed the characters. I think in another world kath and hunter may have worked things out but Kingsley was the main character of this one and that’s just how it was

I will forever be a fangirl for Harleigh Beck books! Her writing is amazing. I became a fan of her Paranormal Romance and Erotic Horror but this book is one of my new favorites. The emotions it invoked 😭😭 The feels that’s all I can say. It’s a must read. I devoured this in less than a day. I recommend having a box of tissues near by.
“I think your shell needs to be cracked for the real Katherine to shine through.”
