Lo primero que me atrajo de Fade to Black fueron los personajes. Todos, desde Kat hasta Shea, fueron personajes creíbles, humanos. Todo lo que les sucedió a lo largo de la historia, fue absolutamente real, aquí habían cosas que sólo puedes encontrar en la vida, no todo es miel sobre hojuelas. Hay sufrimiento, locura, amor y pasión.

I loved this story. The characters are interesting, the plot is unique, and the dialogue is fantastic. Ms Kearns, creates a wonderful story full of romance, humor, and heartbreaking suspense. Set against the background of the TV news industry, the main character Kate is torn between two men; one who has owned her heart for many years, and one is who took her breath away at first sight. Kate is a quick witted, smart woman who is struggling to learn to let her heart soar. Rich and Jesse are both i...more
This book was sooooo good! And the author of this book is such a sweetheart. I got in contact with her through Facebook and Twitter she was so sweet. She requested I kept her informed on my reading progress. Now I must say that I read this book in less than a week. It probably would have been less than a week but I had my son at home, demanding my time and attention. But once I opened this book I literally had a hard time putting it down. And if I were sitting when I read, it would have had me a...more

Fade to Black is a memorable and capturing adult romance. It grabbed and held my attention from the very first page; it didn’t drag. It’s also an original, complicated and emotional story.
Rich is in a horrible marriage. His wife, Shea, is psychotic and suspicious. She makes his life hell.

4.25-4.5 Stars :)
This book had me frustrated, laughing, crying, and yelling. This book had everything. We have our four main characters, Jesse, Kate, Rich and Shea. Jesse and Kate have been together for 10 years and love each other very much. Jesse, however, can be a very jealous man. Rich and Shea are married, but Shea has some psychological issues and just plain ole CAA-RAY-ZEE! Shea keeps on insisting that Rich is having extra marital affairs, which of course, Rich is not.

Fade to Black is a 'couldn't put the book down' read. This story grabbed me from the start. I loved the story line. It had mystery, romance, and humor. I found myself staying up late just to see what would happen next. This book is more than just a romance, it is also a thriller. I loved the thrilling aspect of this book. The story is fast paced and moves continually. I also loved the characters. They all bring something different to the table. Kate Callahan is the main character. She is a woma...more

This book is totally outside of my genre. I normally read supernatural or thrillers. This book is total romance-every now and then I have read a historical romance but this is not even that. It is pure here and now romance. It is hot. Lots of burning sex. The descriptions for the scenes were original and not super uncomfortable (no throbbing members and my hot desire etc). The reality of it is that I get bored with just romance, I guess I need more. I liked that the characters were all lik...more
I've given two stars for the character of Rich, though through the book I was willing him to move on because I really couldn't cope with Kate - as a character she just frustrated me.
I was so looking forward to loving this book but am sorry to say, I just couldn't.
I skimmed....a lot.
I will read Ms Kearns next book and won't be put off by this one.

I don't normally read contemporary literature, but I'm glad I read this! I thoroughly enjoyed it! Love Rich and, dare I say it, disliked Kate more than a little bit. Shocking, I know! Felt she really short-changed Rich when he was there for her. I did like the change of emotion for a character though...first like then dislike.
Don't miss this read and let me know what you think of Kate!

Debut book by Morgan Kearns. An extremely emotional story that is a guaranteed page-turner. Nothing like anything I've ever read before and although there was much I didn't like, there was more that captivated me and wouldn't turn loose. The subject matters covered in this book are difficult and heartwrenching. Even so, I am glad I took the chance and read "Fade to Black."
This book is wonderful. Morgan Kearn's has done an amazing job bringing her characters to life. The choice Kate has to make between Rich and Jesse is excrucitating for her and you can really feel the emotion. How do you choose between two amazing men that you love? Join Kate in her journey through heartbreak and fear and finding her true love.
I cant stop thinking about Kate, Rich, and Jesse. These characters capture your heart and mind. It was an amazing love story, I cried with Kate so many times. I could really feel the characters emotion and sympathized with them all. It was well written and the story had a wonderful ending.
This book is hard to put down. It sucks you in from the first chapter and sticks with you long after you have read the last page. The dialog is top notch and the story is full of angst, humor and romance. I loved this book and hope Morgan keeps writing. I can't wait to read what she puts out next.
This book is captivating. Without giving away anything, I will say it is unlike any book I have read before...I had no idea how it would end. Kearns definitely invented her own style on this one. Morgan's writing comes to life and I felt like I was actually there watching the whole thing play out....

I am going to give this book a 4.5 because jeez, it was good. There was parts where I wanted to shove some people around and yell at them, but the ending it totally and completely worth being pissed. Ups and downs and crazy people what more could you ask for in a romance? This book is just so much more than I thought it would be and I loved every second.
I loved Fade to Black. Ms. Kearns is awesome at portraying her characters pain and struggles in a freash and whimsical new way. I could not put this book down until I had finished the entire thing. Loved it, loved it, loved it!
Loved this book! The characters became so real to me, I felt every thing they did! The plot will keep you guessing the entire book. I could not put it down! Can't wait to read more from Morgan Kearns!
I LOVED this book!

Loved this book! Fun to read, hard to put down as you dive into the world of Kate Callahan. I can't wait to read more from Morgan.
Great story. I've read it twice and both times could not put it down!
Kate's character pissed me off too much to give this book more than 3 stars. The ending saved it from being super boring.

Can not wait to read this.
I didn't like this. Flat characters and story. I pushed myself to keep reading and give it a chance but just could not endure. Quit around the middle.
Fade to Black is the debut novel by Morgan Kearns. This book was amazing! From beginning to end! I gave Fade to Black 4 STARS. I strongly recommend this novel to adults looking for a complex but realistic romance. ENJOY!
This was the worst book I've ever read. Their was no proper development. The characters were not believable. Every "twist" was a cliche you expected. Don't waste your time.
