This series is so, so good. Absolutely enjoyed every bit of this one and was thankful for the lightness in comparison to the previous books of this series.
A solid read!
Searching for Always is another breath-taking saga with Kinnections, and the ladies who help singles find their soul mates. This series continues to excite and captivate readers with no sign of slowing down. Always fraught with sexual tension, always full of interesting characters, Searching for Always delivers a wonderful story.
Summary:
The guru of relaxation at Kinnections Agency is running on fumes. While counseling singles at the agency, she also teaches yoga, volunteers with animals, provides anger management therapy and cares for her grandfather. After suffering a devastating heartbreak with her yogi boyfriend, Arilyn has no time or interest in looking for her own soul mate.
Type A, masculine bad-boy police officer Stone Petty has to take her anger management class, and she has to fight hard to avoid his smoldering glances and sexy smile. There’s no denying their sizzling chemistry and it doesn’t take long for them to see where it leads.
A beautifully written story which contains many of the things I hold close to my heart.
Loved the banter between Stone and Arilyn - so funny and entertaining. The development of Arilyn and Stone's & magnetism love was well thought out. The "rescue" & love shown to Pinky was simply heartwarming.
Searching for Always by Jennifer Probst is a 2015 Gallery Books publication. I was provided a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
While the previous book in this series had a more serious tone, “Searching for Always” has a light touch to it with zany characters and adorable puppy dogs.
Arilyn is trying to move on after catching her long term boyfriend in the act of cheating on her. Having a little trouble staying serene herself, having Stone Petty, an officer of the law she had a previous encounter with, join her anger management class will give Arilyn more of a challenge than she bargained for.
Stone is indeed having little trouble keeping his rage in check. This anger management course is required before he can return to work, so he must endure yoga, dogs, and his hot teacher, all while trying to stop smoking.
The truth is these two are like oil and water. They can't agree on anything except the physical attraction and chemistry between them. I couldn't stop a few belly laughs here and there, especially when it came to Stone. He's grumpy, stoic, complains about everything, and is real skeptic when it come to love.
But, Arilyn and an adorable chihuahua named “Pinky” will give Stone the first real incentive in his life to work at a relationship, to see it through the good times and the bad times, something he hasn't been able to commit to previously.
This is such a fun book with great characters, including Arilyn's friends, whom you have all met before, if you have been following the series, ( no worries if you haven't, this one can be read as stand alone) , plus a few other secondary characters that round out the cast, giving the story a great balance and lots of vitality.
It's always great to see two people who experience bad luck in the romance department find their one true love and realize this was the person they were looking for all along. I never would have put Arilyn with a guy like Stone, but as it turns out, he is perfect for her and vice versa.
If you like feel good stories, hot and steamy romance, with lots of depth and heart, you really should try out this whole series. This book ranks right up there with the previous installments in the series and certainly left me in a good mood! True love ROCKS!
**My thanks to the author and Gallery Threshold Pocket Books for providing me with a free copy for an honest review.**
We met Office Stone Petty in the previous book where he and Arilyn had pretty heated words right from the beginning. Nether like the other, but seem to bait the other letting anger rise.
Officer Petty however ends up in Arilyns anger management course and both want to end up on top, trying to get a rise out of the other and driving them insane. Both win points along the way.
However the baiting leads to other things when they can't stop thinking of each other, and when Arilyn takes matters into her own hands in regards to an abused dog, Stone makes her pay for his silence.
The wit between the two as well as the heat keeps you turning the page, no matter what else you need to do at home, or work. I couldn't put this book down and just felt compelled to complete it.
Loved cranky old Mrs Blackfire and Poppy.
Another must read from Jennifer Probst.
