Uncovering Desire by Kacey Shea
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This book completely rocked. The reason I didn’t give a full 5 stars was my confusion with Kate’s character and her back and forth mood with Jon.
Jon and Evie run a private investigation company. The two of them and Kate have been friends for many years. Kate has been secretly in love with Jon. But, she has never openly flirted with him, because she knows that Jon crushes on Evie. After a short term relationship with Evie, Jon and Evie have realized and accepted that they should better stay friends.
Kate always projects a sexy image and embraces a ‘slutty’ identity. She always looks easy with men and sexually available. She’s sexy, beautiful, mouthy and she is never afraid to say what she thinks. Jon is intrigued and charmed by her. After many years of close friendship, he doesn’t hesitate to hit on her. And finally Kate gets what she’s been craving for!
Before starting the PI business, Jon was a soldier and now bad memories during his time in Iraq are threatening his relationship with his friends and Kate. Kate will have to prove to him that her image to others doesn’t reflect her true self and that she’s trully in love with him. Jon will have to fight his inner deamons and treat Kate sweeter and fairer. The two of them will have to fight to give their friendship the chance to flourish and develop into real love.
I liked the writing style and the side characters but I couldn’t connect with Kate. She was a real kicker and her relationship with Jon was one emotional roller coaster after another. One moment she was up, the next she was down! I understand that she tried to protect her heart from Jon, but her hot and cold gaming was quite frustrating.
If you fancy a sexy, light, entertaining read then this might be for you.
