Resisting an irresistible force wears you down and turns you out. I know. I've been doing it for years.

I may not have a musical gift of my own, but I've got a nose for talent and an eye for the extraordinary. And Marlon James - Grip to his fans - is nothing short of extraordinary.

Years ago, we strung together a few magical nights, but I keep those memories in a locked drawer and I've thrown away the key. All that's left is friendship and work.

He's on the verge of unimaginable fame, all his dreams poised to come true. I manage his career, but I can't seem to manage my heart.

It's wild, reckless, disobedient. And it remembers all the things I want to forget.

5 Stars

So rhythmic. So poetic. This heartwarming introduction had me smiling and in tears. A beautifully written start to a journey that I can already tell is going to gut my heart and wreak havoc on my emotions. Perfect title for a perfect story. This author did an amazing job opening up to what I can feel in my gut is going to be an epic love story.

Review - GRIP

5 Stars

I finished this book a couple of days ago and I knew I would need time to process in order to write my review. Here I am and I’m still finding it hard to find the right words that will accurately convey and/or do this book and this author justice on just how much I thoroughly enjoyed this story, these characters and Ms. Ryan’s words. I feel like I have so much to say yet it’s so hard to articulate. It’s very rare that a book has left me off kilter of sorts yet has touched my heart, my soul and has me feeling content, if that makes any sense.

The story itself is without a doubt one of the most POWERFUL and REAL stories I’ve read to date. Grip’s character is so profound. So educated. So fucking sexy and humble. I’m absolutely in love with this fictional character. And Bristol….gosh, Bristol. The sheer determination and loyalty that she evokes is astonishing. The struggle is real. The love, the chemistry and passion between these two is palpable. Kennedy Ryan does such a phenomenal job conveying the emotions, putting a voice to such important subjects worldwide. For making it REAL, and RAW, and showing the ugly and the ignorance but also showing how beautiful and powerful and meaningful life can be when we're not so focused on race or color but the PERSON.

Grip and Bristol’s story is definitely a must read and one that has impacted me on a whole deeper level than just “another romance novel”.

Excerpt

“Neither of us has been in a serious relationship in years.”
“That doesn’t mean anything.” I stand and slide my feet into the Jimmy Choos.
“You haven’t exactly been waiting around, have you?”
“Damn right I haven’t been waiting around.” He doesn’t get up, but his firm hold on my wrist stops me from walking away.
“I’m not Rhyson.” I look down at him, frowning my confusion.
“What do you mean?”
“Remember when Kai put Rhyson in the friend zone?” Of course I do. For a long time, my sister-in-law Kai denied the attraction between her and Rhyson.
“Yeah, so?”
“When Kai wasn’t checking for Rhys, I assumed he had to be sleeping with other girls.” Grip shrugs. “I mean, he and Kai were just friends. But, nope. He said he only wanted Kai and didn’t sleep with anyone else.”
“Then you’re right.” I tug at my wrist, but he holds on tight.
“You’re definitely not Rhyson.”
“It was months, Bristol. She shut him out for months. Not years.”
“I’m not shutting you out.” I release a tired breath.
“I’m living my life, and you’re living yours.”
“Right.” He nods and turns his mouth down at the corners.
“So, if you won’t be with me, then I’ll fuck whoever the hell I want. If you have a problem with that, you know what to do about it.”
For a moment, our eyes tangle in the dimness. His words sink into my flesh like briars. Every word out of his mouth only proves that I’m right to get out of here. That I’m right not to give in. If I ever gave him a chance and he fucked around on me . . . I’ve seen what that looks like. It looks like a woman as strong as my mother reduced to pathetic, teary drunkenness.
“It’s none of my business.” I shift my eyes away from him and to the glittering city skyline just beyond the rooftop.
“It’s none of your business until you say it is.”
I force myself to look back. “Don’t hold your breath, Grip.” I say my next words with deliberation. “I mean, it’s not like I’m sitting around saving it, either.” He pulls me forward, and I press my hand to the hardness of his chest so I don’t fall into him. My knee supports me, pressed against his on the couch.
“Are you poking me?”
One strong hand wraps around the back of my thigh, anger marking his expression.
“Do you want to know if it bothers me when you fuck other guys?”
I just stare at him unblinkingly. He presses my leg, urging me forward until I’m fully on the couch, fully on him, one knee on either side of his legs, facing him. Straddling him.
“It makes me want to set the world on fire.” His words come softly, but the truth roars in his eyes. “To think of you with them.”
