KIT (Carsonbrothers, #1) by S R Dyble
Review by Sasha Eve was ready to spend the rest of her life avoiding love. After her entire family was murdered, she thought that might a good enough reason to avoid letting anyone get close to her again. The pain of losing someone again was a situation that she didn’t want to find herself in again. She had found a new way of life and was content on keeping her life as simple as she could. For a year, Eve had managed to do just that. She kept to herself. She had readjusted. She had found a way to avoid the pain. Enter Kit Carson; the exact person that Eve doesn’t want in her life and the exact person she wants to avoid. But the universe doesn’t listen to Eve’s wants and neither does Kit. I was so nervous for the first time I met Kit. I knew that he was going to be that classic cocky, playboy character but he came in almost TOO cocky. I then wondered if there would be any true character development and if there was, would it be believable. Throw in the accent and he’s truly just a fantasy character for any reader. A classic asshole that you can’t help but slowly fall for. One thing I did love was as you followed along Kit’s journey you got to experience each first with him. He did change his ways for Eve and in doing so, experienced a different way of life. Seeing Kit truly juggle this new environment is exciting.. Where Kit was almost too much of a character, Eve lacked a bit for me. I understand that she is withdrawn after the tragedy, but I found that it took almost too long for her to start to let Kit in and let her personality out. The angst and tension between them was prominent from the beginning, I would have liked to see Eve’s shell crack just a little bit sooner. At the end we started to see an Eve get a little more fire in her and honestly that was the best part for me. Maybe more of Eve's emerging character will come out stronger in a second novel. While this was an easy story to get in to, the beginning dropped you in the middle of a situation without a lot of explanation and the pacing of the book could have moved faster. It started to get more intense the further you got into the book, but the end left you on a cliffhanger that its enticing enough to be invested. I’m intrigued to see what comes next in Kit and Eve’s adventures ***ARC received in exchange for an honest review.***
