“It isn't that it's too soon, you're on the back of my bike, it ain't too soon. You can buy sheets. You cannot install blinds."
"um..." I mumbled. "Can you explain the difference?"
"Sheets are chick territory," he said without delay. "You gotta use tools, that's dick territory."
"Oh," I whispered.
"Don't tread on dick territory," he advised.
"So, um... is a paintbrush a tool?" I asked cautiously.
"If you're paintin' the side of the house, yeah. If you're painting mud colored paint in a room, no."
"It's terracotta," I said softly.
"Whatever," he muttered, his mouth twitching.
"Or, the paint chip called it Mexican horizon. The blue is dawn sky."
"Definitely chick territory," Tate replied, losing the fight with his grin.
"What about...pictures for the walls?" I asked.
"Chick," he answered instantly.
"Um...could I ask that, instead of you getting angry and being a jerk, maybe you give me a head's up when I'm doing something stupid?”

Thanks for the accept and definitely for the upcoming Chaos series! You just gave me SOA, KA style. I am flipping and doin' the runnin' man. I get to watch it and read it now! Whooohooo.
Just finished both Knight and Motorcycle Man over the last 3 days. As elated as I was being to read 2 of your stories so close together again, now I am depressed that I have to wait for the next installment in some of my fav series.Can't wait to read the first book in the Chaos series. I hope Tabby can reign in Shy!
I'm almost done with Tack's story and I'm going to miss him too!! Dang it! He was my least favorite character and I really didn't want to read him. Then I said I need a KA story really bad, so why not read Tack. And who would have thought that his book just made it my favorite of the series? This is a 5 star for me for sure!! Move over Hawk...lol. Hawk was my favorite, okay so he still has a place..but I can't help but love the heck out Tack's story. I laughed prob in every chapter and the book had a good flow to it and I didn't want to put it down. I fall asleep reading it every night.
Thanks for the accept Kristen! Hope you made it home OK and enjoyed your holiday with your family!Can't wait for Tack!!!!!
Okay, I would love to know... are you planning on a book for Hap and Luci?? Or do we assume what happens with them at the end of Heaven and Hell?? lol I know you have a lot you are busy with and I'm loving your books..but I feel like I need closure with Hap and Luci.
Wow, look at you rockin' the Goodreads! You are doing mad work here! I just thought you were a way cool chick on Twitter. I'm so freakin impressed right now! :D
When will 'Games of the Heart' be available to download @ B&N? I've just finished 'Golden Trail' and I so want to read Mikes story! please help!
Jenn wrote: "The 'Burg is next and I cant WAIT!!!!"Jenn- I hope you love The 'Burg as much as I do. Colt, Cal,Layne and Mike equal up as some super Alpha Males. I'm still in love with Layne but let me tell you...when Fin Holliday hits the scene in Mike's story...shoot forget it! LOL! He steals my heart ...okay he is a young teen, (17), but he grows to be a man by the end and I still love his little side story with Reesee.
Kristen- Well crud I just found that I'm in love with FIN HOLLIDAY! lol I have to tell you, Fin and Reesee stole the show for me in Games of the Heart. I loved their side story and now I'm here to beg for more of them. LOL! I'm sure you have other characters demanding your attention at the moment, which I have to say I can't wait for Bennie and Frankie, I would LOVE some Merry and Mia, and Graham. But now I can't get over Fin and Reesee. I had no idea you were going to add such a sweet side story of two teens budding romance. Fin is my new hero. lol. I wouldn't mind for more of a peek in to their lives between the time they started out to how they ended in Games of the Heart. OR maybe even a side small book of their big day and their vaca. Or maybe as they are older?? lol I d k..I just loved these two. :o)

Sarah wrote: "Sorry if you've already answered this but why didnt Tate and Laurie have children of their own? They seem to be the only couple in an epilogue where it didnt happen. Thanks :-)"Um, I don't know how deep you want me to get into this but they were both of an age where they didn't want to go there. They have Jonas. And Tate is away a lot for business. Further, they went through some serious stuff... makes you think about bringing children into the world not to mention Tate is very protective so he has his family, add a baby/child, and he's away a lot. Um... Tate probably wouldn't like that much. And last, after a long haul with not very good along the way, they finally found each other. And it was all good :-).

Oh honey, I don't think they don't love him. They just have so much to chose from. I'd take any of them (for example) ;-)

Kristen wrote: "All right! Love for Layne and Colt! And Gray! Mitch and Mike get a lotta lovin'. Layne and Colt give you big kisses and hugs for the shout out. xxoo "."SWEET! I'll take those kisses.;o) If those men were real I would be all over Layne first. Ladies have their book bf's but the Layne men are my book family. lol How can anyone NOT love Layne? Or Colt and Gray for that matter. I think Layne is hilarious. I love how Colt is with Feb and Gray, he just oozes sexiness.

If you loved Kristen's other series, you should read about the Burg.
"I don't know, Colorado is awesome but there are awesome guys everywhere. Though, maybe I should set up a posse to hunt down Max/Tate/Ty." -KristenI'm thinking the top men from your books would have to be Layne, Gray, Mitch, Colt, and Mike. That's just my opinion and I haven't even read your Rock Chick series yet. I did read your other series, Colorado Mountain, but I'm in love with the BURG men, Gray from the stand alone book and Dream men. :o) Really it's all about Layne and Gray. I would say Colt's right behind them.
Jenn wrote: "Officially adding you to my top 5 fav authors!!! Finished all 3 Colorado Mountains in 5 days! Could NOT put them down.

HA! So glad to read this! When I first met Lucien (through Leah), I think I started panting in my office chair. Then I think I read chapter two like 7,385 times. I don't know. Something about it. Mmmmmm... sigh. Thank you for telling me you dig it, girlie! xx

What he did wasn't the smartest even though he didn't... you know. It was still a betrayal. My favorite part of that? At the end, he takes a shower. He knows Kitty's scent on him upsets Leah. That is NOT Lucien. He thinks he can do what he wants whenever he wants and everyone has to deal. To take a shower, that is a thoughtfulness beyond his monetary generosity. He begins to learn quick, it's subtle... but important.
I'm glad that you dig that I don't shy away from much. I'll keep being real... even when vampires are involved! Thanks for sharing, my lovely!

GAH! So glad you liked it Em! Woot Woot! Thank YOU so much for partaking of my books and telling me you dig them! Rock on, sistah! xx-K
Ohhhh boy! You had me in "Until the Sun Falls from the Sky" with the whole Kitty thing. I really thought he did it. Well done! That is one of the things I love about your writing, the reader never knows what to expect. You take the plunge and I love that. Some authors are so scared to take on a hard situation and sometimes you do. Keep up the great work! PS. I personally would have been okay if Lucien did do the Kitty thing. I was gearing up for it. I would have LOVED to see how you would have handled that situation. Just as long as you made him feel like complete shit for doing it. A little grovel from your alpha men. YUM!!!!
GAH!!! Kristen Until the Sun Falls from the Sky was AMAZING!!!!! I loved it so much I didn't want it to end!! Thanks so much for sharing your talent :)From your biggest NZ fan,

Teaser chapters are going up on my website next week.
I am guarding my secrets about the last Rock Chick book. I have lots of ideas! But I'm keeping them close to the vest. But all will be revealed summer/fall this year! So a wait but not a long one.
Hope everything is okay with your baby... xx
I missed the online chat because of a doctor's appointment for the baby. Did you talk any about the next Rock Chick book? And also who is going to be Tack's woman? I have been dying for answers, but the baby took precedence (darn her HAHA!)
Hello Kristen,i just had to congratulate you and tell you that i absolutely love your books.I have spent a vast share of my time sighing longingly over your insanely desirable heroes.and i like how you give the female protagonists in your books such strong personalities,i mean nobody wants to read about meek,compliant,empty headed women,y'know.Hell , even your side characters are amazing, no wonder everybody loves reading the subsequent books,about them.Keep up the great writing ! :)
