I Knew You Were Trouble
by Kay Blake
An Interracial Romance/Contemporary Romance
Cover Designed by (M.J. Oz )
He seemed to be nothing but trouble.
Ally had something to prove. She wanted a new start. So, she took a job across the country to be the personal photographer to this up and coming rock band called Runnin on E. What she didn’t expect was to be captivated by the lead singer of the band Ethan Avery. Ethan’s blond hair, blue eyes and a voice that can melt the panties off of any woman spelled trouble. Big trouble. And after what she left behind she couldn’t afford any more.
But sometimes temptation is just too hard to resist.
Music was my only solace until I met her.
From the outside looking in, Ethan has everything. He’s the lead singer of the new rock band Runnin on E’. He has devastating good looks and women. Lots of women. But Ethan has his demons. He hides them behind the lyrics of his songs. New found fame is nice, but Ethan wants something more. He wants someone who knows there’s more to him than what meets the eye. And that someone is Ally. She’s beautiful. She’s different. She sees him. All of him. And now he wants her more than he’s ever wanted anything.
Can he leave his past demons behind and have the future he never thought he deserved?
3.5 stars
This is a heart warming story, with well written and likeable main characters. The plot moves at a good pace and the story kept me interested.
I did struggle with the author's style of writing, for me it comes across as a little stilted but this is a personal preference rather than a writing issue. It feels is as if the narrator (which is alternately the heroine and hero) is speaking to me, rather than me 'listening in' on their thoughts, if that makes sense. Occasionally the dialogue doesn't feel natural or flowing either and these two things made it difficult to 'get into' the story. I did find that the flow of the story seemed to improve as I continued reading, so it is worth persevering with the book.
The chemistry between Ally and Ethan was good and I did enjoy their developing relationship. I loved that it wasn't all insta-love but that they had to overcome their own issues and so grew both as individuals and eventually as a couple. I did feel the ending was a little rushed, but it was still very emotional and powerful.
The author is clearly talented and, whilst it was just a 'good' read for me, clearly other readers really liked it.
Kay writes sassy, sexy and sweet contemporary and interracial romance. She is from arguably the greatest city in the world. (New York). She is a sarcastic sweetheart who prefers snuggling at home with a good book. Kay is a mom of 3 cubs and a wife. Kay indulges in strawberry cheesecake, horror movies, Harry Potter, The Walking Dead, wrestling and of course a happily ever after.
