Guest Review: Exclusively Yours – Shannon Stacey

Posted September 14, 2012 by Cocktails and Books in Reviews / 0 Comments

When Keri Daniels’ editor finds out she has previous carnal knowledge of reclusive bestselling author Joe Kowalski, she gives Keri a choice: get an interview or get a new job.

Joe’s never forgotten the first girl to break his heart, so he’s intrigued to hear Keri’s back in town–and looking for him. Despite his intense need for privacy, he’ll grant Keri an interview if it means a chance to finish what they started in high school.

He proposes an outrageous plan–for every day she survives with his family on their annual camping and four-wheeling trip, Keri can ask one question. Keri agrees; she’s worked too hard to walk away from her career.

But the chemistry between them is still as potent as the bug spray, Joe’s sister is out to avenge his broken heart and Keri hasn’t ridden an ATV since she was ten. Who knew a little blackmail, a whole lot of family and some sizzling romantic interludes could make Keri reconsider the old dream of Keri & Joe 2gether 4ever.

Reviewer’s Thoughts:

Exclusively Yours was a good read! I loved that Shannon Stacey created a family like the Kowalskis that could rally around those that they love in the name of protection while at the same time knowing when to give a bit of room to figure things out on their own. The dynamics between all the Kowalskis and the extended family member made you feel right at home.

While this book focused on Keri & Joe and their journey to get over the past and find their way back to each other, it also touched on the other siblings’ relationships. Just like in real life, all of the Kowalski kids are dealing with relationship ups and downs. You will find yourself rooting for all of the Kowalskis to find love and live happily ever after.

A very heartwarming story, can’t wait to read the next book in the series!
