A LITTLE MORE LOVE is book five in Kendra Leigh Castle's
Harvest
Cove series. This Harvest Cove series by
Kendra Leigh Castle has been a favorite of mine since the
very first book. A LITTLE MORE LOVE is one of those
stories in which the hero and heroine have an almost
instant attraction, and discover that they have a billion
things in common. The one wrench that Kendra Leigh Castle
throws into the mix, and stops the romance that develops
between Fitz and Kira from becoming too idyllic too fast,
is that Fitz has a secret. Happily Fitz's secret isn't
of the tragic variety, but it is something that he wants
to keep from Kira until he's gotten to know her better.
Henry "Fitz" Fitzroy was one of the first characters in
this Harvest Cove series to strike my interest, so
I'm
thrilled to finally read his story. Fate seems to
intervene when Kira Andersen's brother sends his friend
Fitz to pick her up from the airport. One of the things
that makes A LITTLE MORE LOVE so delicious is the way
Kira and Fitz are both struck tongue-tied when they're
around each other because of how incredibly attracted
they are. Having A LITTLE MORE LOVE told from alternating
perspectives reveals the inner agony, ecstasy, and
amusing awkwardness that the main characters experience.
Kira and Fitz are equally sympathetic and flawed
characters. Kendra Leigh Castle provides enough
background information on Kira and Fritz to help the
reader understand them better. Finding out the identity
of successful yet reclusive fiction writer Malcolm Roy,
and getting an interview with him, is very important to
Kira's career. When it becomes clear that just about
everybody in the small town of Harvest Cove knows Malcolm
is really Fitz -- except for Kira -- the tension gradually
escalates. You know that it's only a matter of time
before everything blows up in Fitz's face. It's
frustrating watching Fitz get his dream girl, but
struggle with his need for secrecy. Kira is a woman who
has known the sting of betrayal, but I like that she
doesn't come across as bitter. Kira and Fitz's moments
together are alternately funny, super steamy, and sigh-
worthy.
A LITTLE MORE LOVE is a little sassy and a whole lot of
fabulous. A LITTLE MORE LOVE is filled with the kind of
well-crafted, imperfect yet wonderful characters that are
a hallmark of this series. Kendra Leigh Castle always
balances the sexy bits with emotional punch and provides
comfort food for the soul. These characters have become
friends and I will miss them greatly. Even though I am
heartbroken that this Harvest Cove series has to
end, I
greatly look forward to Kendra Leigh Castle's next book.
For fans of Jill Shalvis and Kristan Higgins, a sweet,
small-town romance about writing your own happy ending...
Kira Andersen’s professional instinct for a story has never
led her wrong. So when she learns of a famous writer hiding
in plain sight in a tiny New England town, she can’t resist
following the trail. The only problem is everyone in Harvest
Cove seems intent on keeping her from tracking down the
elusive author—especially a handsome distraction who’s
making it very hard to focus on the job...
Henry “Fitz” Fitzroy has no intention of letting a nosy
journalist uncover his alter-ego as superstar writer Malcom
Roy. Only Kira’s persistence is hard to deny—as is his own
attraction to her. The more time he spends with her, the
more he discovers he’d give almost anything to keep her in
his life. But as work and play become inexorably entwined
for Kira and Fitz, they realize that getting what they want
for their careers might mean losing everything their hearts
desire...
