I absolutely loved Going Under! Skye Jordan knocked this book out of the park. A perfect mix of love, emotion and sexy, I’m sure you will fall just as hard as I did for Going Under.

I love this whole series so far. This book is faced paced and interesting from start to finish. Skye Jordans writing style is almost lyrical.

This was a nice, quick, enjoyable read!

In the moment, while reading, I really loved the story and these characters. However, if I stopped for even a second to think too hard about it, I completely lost that suspension of disbelief that's really needed for this book to work. A lot of other reviewers have mentioned it, but the ending didn't seem plausible, and it felt so much more like an HFN rather than a HEA. This is just a case of I really wanted to love it and was loving it up until about the 75% mark, but the ending fell flat.

Even though it is part of a series, you can read this as a standalone! And I know I want to know what happens between Chloe and Xavier in Swept Away, so even though this book didn't work for me, I absolutely want to keep reading this series!

DNF @ 40%

The book started off very slow according to me and I also didn't like the very insanely lovey feel I got from the male MC. I did like the attraction between them too.
Also, there was no emotional connection between them and barely any interactions and Ihad no will to continue reading it.
And they were ,kissing when the kids were at home and they could walk in?? and you haven't told them and aren't together?? WHY???

Brilliant steamy romance with a great story line and very well written characters. I raced though this desperate to find out how it would end for Ben and KT, wishing for it to be a happy ending. This was the first book I have read from Skye and it certainly won't be the last.

It was an alright book, nothing too interesting that kept me too interested. The characters were just there and the chemistry was feeling flat and very sudden.

Skye Jordan always knows how to deliver on the steamy hot romances, and that is why she is one of my favorite romance authors. The characters and their chemistry in this title is no different. I enjoyed them and their story, and Jordan somehow knows how to keep the steamy scenes fresh. Loved it.

ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I'm a big Skye Jordan fan, and this book only cemented that fact. Part of a series, but I hadn't read the first book when I picked this up. Full of romance, steam, and even though I wanted to shake the heroine at times, she got her act together. :)

wow... this pairing! Why did i put this author on the side burner I have ALWAYS loved her work so I am an idiot for thinking her amazing writing would have died out. She was insanely talented in this one. We have the most BA woman role here and the pairing of her was sweet and it made me cry it was so beautiful... if you tell anyone that I will deny it in a court of law! this was just perfection!

Going Under is super sexy and sweet at the same time.

The way Kat and Ben meet was cute and the sparks fly immediately. They had amazing banter and I loved how Kat was always there to help out when he needed. it was a potential meet cute till a point

I also loved the fact that Kat immediately bonded with his daughter even before she knew she was his. their relationship was even more special, constructive and so wholesome. she was there for the girls and took care of them from the start. It all seemed like fate how she met them and they just all fit so well.

Kat was looking for a one night stand or a hookup and ben was looking for settlement and commitment. quiet the opposite rope than the normal typical romance books we read and that's what made it more fun.

I just love how they were all perfect for each other and fit so well. Ben and his girls gave Kat a family and grounded her just simply made her feel the happiness she can have if she just stay with them.
i loved it more because it didnt shame the girl wanting not to settle but just show a wholesomely beautiful way that if she choose it she can be happier. but if she choose, it gave her the ability and freedom to choose which a lot of books forget. and Kat gave them adventure, love and worldly knowledge. They made the perfect family, it was adorable.

He wanted a commitment, she only wanted great sex.

KT was raised by a single dad, her mother died when she was a little girl. Her father died when she was a teenager. He was a mechanic, she became a marine engineer. She was a tomboy, sailed on a sailboat across the world with her Dad before he died. Now she sails alone in between jobs. She's on land for 6 more months working on the business she and her two best friends are opening. The town is small so she has to maintain a good reputation, so sleeping around isn't going to happen here.

On Christmas Eve right before going out to celebrate, KT cuts her arm and ends up in the ER for stitches. That's where she meets Dr. Ben Latham. He's gorgeous, but he's a single dad of 3 girls. But that doesn't stop her from hitting on him and writing down her phone number.

Ben just moved to town to be closer to his sister and mother. He's a single dad of three girls all under the age of 11. His wife died of cancer 4 years ago. When he starts talking to KT, he realizes that he hasn't dated in a long time. After his shift at the hospital he plans on putting together the girls Christmas gifts. But the last gift, a bunk bed is the too much. So he texts KT for help and she comes over.

A few days later, a young girl walks into KT's workspace by the water. It turns out that it's Ben's oldest, Violet, who walked out of the house and didn't tell her Aunt or babysitter. So Ben comes to find his daughter with KT. That's when his girls start playing matchmaker too.

Now when KT starts planning her trip alone, it doesn't sound exciting anymore. She decides to put herself out there and ask Ben and the girls to meet up with her for every school holiday in her boat. But when someone from her past visits, Ben gets insecure and ends things because she won't be exclusive.

A must read!

Every time I read a book in the WILDFIRE LAKE series, that is my new favorite book. How could you not love KT? She is such a bad ass women. KT lives her life the way she wants to. Carefree and out for adventure. She loves sailing and being free to explore the world.

While at Wildfire Lake she meets single dad and doctor Ben. Ben himself is amazing but his 3 little girls stole my heart!! And the way KT falls in love with them was almost too much!!

Great story! Love this series!!

What would you do if you weren’t afraid?
-Skye Jordan, Going Under

I really liked this one! Perhaps even more than the first book in the Wildfire Lake series.

KT is a confident women, with goals and plans. She was raised by a single dad and loves her job as a marine engineer. She’s currently living in a small town with her two best friends while they work on a longer term project together. She loves being with her friends, but staying in one place has never really been her thing. She’s looking forward to the day she can pack up and get on with her dream of sailing around the world.

After a minor accident while repairing a boat motor, her path crosses with the hot new doctor in town Ben. KT doesn’t do relationships and especially doesn’t need a reason to stick around in Wildfire Lake but she’s open to a hookup.

Ben is a single dad to 3 little girls, who’s lives he puts before his own. KT intrigues him like no one has before and he can’t wrap his head around her being interested in just hooking up and nothing more. Ben has never been the type to have a one night stand.

This was SUCH a good romance. KT and Ben are so incredibly different and at such different places in their lives. It was wonderful to watch them question themselves and challenge each other while working out what they truly want out of life. The daughters were so well written and I loved the depth they added to this story. Both KT and Bens stories were so realistic and the attraction and steam was spot in. To be honest this book is probably more like a 4.5/5 star. I really enjoyed this one.

I would recommend for anyone looking for an easy, steamy romance read. 🔥

Thank you to @netgalley for providing me with an ARC.

This is book 2 in a series about three women who meet in Mexico in the eye of a tornado/hurricane and they survive. One of them einherits a plot of land by a lake and its iin ruis so all three agree to get it into shape so they can sell it off for a profit. This is KT's story and she is the tomboy/mechanic who is working on fixing all the houseboats.

KT is anti-marriage, commitment and kids and is looking forward to finishing the job, selling and buying her own boat to go exploring the high seas. On Christmas eve she ends up in the emergency room with Dr Ben who patches her up and they end up becoming friends.

Ben is a widower with three kids who are really struggling and riasing 3 girls. The worst one is his older daughter who ends up running away and meeting KT. Then the kids gets matchmaking and Ben and KT don't stand a chance.

What will KT decide to follow her heart or her dreams or can she get them merge? Well you will have to read this story to find out.

I absolutely adored this romance. Ben and his kids were absolutely awesome and KT was so great with them. She has a huge heart and it was great that she opened it up to her friends and Ben's kids.

Treading Water

I think that treading water is tiring and a certain mechanic is about to learn it too. Her adventurous spirit and wanderlust life are glamorous. However, watching her friend settle down has left KT in a funk she can't figure out. She can't imagine leaving the sea and travel behind but she can't get the image of their love out of her head. And then she meets HIM.

Single dad, doctor and the antithesis of everything she thinks she wants. Until she realizes its not wanting but need.

Two very different people and a connection worth fighting for. A new adventure. And a happy ending that will leave you with a case of wanderlust and goggling catamarans and sailing lessons even if you live in a land locked state.

Review featured at www.books-n-kisses.com

This is the second in the series and Skye Jordan never disappoints. Her men are strong and have a heart of gold. Her women are independent and confident. And this story is no different.

KT is a bit of a tomboy who works in a male driven world of engineering and is in town to work on a Marina for Wildfire Lake with her two best friends. When she gets hurt she goes to see Dr Ben who is a single dad and committed to his work.

But when they meet there is something more than a one night stand and while neither one of them want to admit it we as a fan of romance know they have no say in where their hearts take them.

Another great story from Skye Jordan. She is easily one of my favorite go-to authors because he never disappoints.

I am a fan of the Wildfire Lake series and KT’s story, a girl who truly deserves happiness. She gets it when she meets the sexy ER doctor and his adorable girls.
While KT may be described as a tomboy, she has some girly coming out and I loved it. Learning all about machines and engines from her father, reminded me of following my dad around working on equipment and always busy building something.
Where Ben could have been stuck in conventional life with his girls, he was drawn to KT and I loved that he did.
Their attraction to each is off the charts and their story is delightful with only slight drama, which this girl needed for a fun evening of reading.

Skye Jordan proves, once again, that she has a way with words. And character development. And romance. I loved everything about Going Under, from KT's strength and independence, to Ben's vulnerability and traditional approach to romance. But that unexpected and untraditional ending ... Shazam! Great contemporary romance.
