Perfect ending to Jasper & Charlotte's story.
It dragged a bit in the middle - nothing happened and redundant stuff was added, like the boat trip et cetera. The whole amazing excitement of the first book was a bit lost in this second one.
BUT I still loved it!
Can't wait to read whatever Kim will come up with next ☺

Whew! After a cliffhanger like Set the Pace left us with, I was salivating to get my little hands on Turn it Up. Have you seen this cover? I mean, as unnatural as it is to just stand by a car and put your t-shirt in your mouth to show your abs, I'll take it. I'll pay him to do so just to look at him. Next to his car. Doing that weird thing with his shirt. The model or Jasper, either one.

This is a story about childhood friends who reconnect as adults and fall in love but it is so much more than that. There is also a lot of suspense and mystery weaved throughout this story.
I have been eagerly awaiting the conclusion to Jasper & Charlotte’s story. This dives straight back into where we were left at the end of Set The Pace and you will need to make sure that your seatbelts are tight as Kim takes us on the final tumultuous leg of this journey.

I wasn’t too worried at the end of Set the Pace about Jasper being charged with murder because I knew Jasper’s team would work together to prove his innocence. What I was worried about was what this new roadblock was going to do to his relationship with Charlotte and the connection they’ve been building once both of them tore down each other’s walls and moved past the pain and heartache from their childhood.
Charlotte is not as fragile as people think she is, and although she feels like the Black ...more
4.5 Stars!!
“Quickly. I wanted quickly more than I wanted air to breathe. I need to see Charlotte. Get to her. Hold her. Touch her. Protect her. Make love to her. It has yet to happen. And it’s all I’ve been able to think about.”
What a thrilling and exciting follow up to Set The Pace! Turn It Up picks up right where the last book left off and boy does it take you on one crazy ride. There’s danger. Action. Suspense. Romance. Sexy Good Times. And lots of delicious twists and turns.

Kim Karr is one of those authors who knows how to grab you and pull you into her stories. Turn It Up is one of those books. I was so excited when I got my hands on an ARC copy (Thanks, Kim Karr & her promo partners!) I couldn't wait. I honestly rushed through my previous book because I was DYING to start this one. She didn't disappoint! Read More... http://tinyurl.com/gvutbxe

I haven't read anything by Kim Karr I haven't liked and this duet is no different there is some serious intense moments and of course some steamy scenes..There is also some mystery and although my assumption where correct I wasn't 100% with my theory because of course there was so many possibilities and plot twists..there is so many ups and downs and so much deceit but also so many strong bonds.. altogether I really enjoyed

Turn it Up seamlessly picks up where Set the Pace left off. Continuing to be fuelled by adrenaline, there is no slowing down for Jasper, Charlotte and the Lightning Motors crew. As Detroit’s history merges with the possibilities for the future, readers witness a love story that is so much bigger than the connection between Charlotte and Jasper. With each chapter revealing another secret, the road to Happy Ever After is surprising, painful, yet beautifully redeeming.

This, was one book that I couldn't wait to read, especially because of the way book one ended. It even begins exactly where the first book left us and even though some time has passed, I quickly caught up with what happened.
One thing that was clear to me pretty early on in this book was how Charlotte and Jasper's chemistry was just as insanely electric, if not more so than I recall. I really did enjoy scenes with these two.

Great ending.....
The whole duet was great, this second part was Uber romance. I loved every second of it.
Short review, since it’s truly a mystery romance, but who I thought it was, was. Score one for me, lol. A great epilogue. I’m a sucker for an amazing epilogue.
Great duet read. Now I need to find Jake, Drew and Wills stories if theyre out there somewhere. If not, pretty please?

Utterly exhausted from what this poor couple was dragged through in the first book, the Author ups the ante...whew!! But if at all possible, the couple gets hotter, and I became more engrossed in their story. Just when you thought you figured it out, it twisted in another direction and I couldn't get enough.

It's here. The 2nd part to the book Set The Pace by Kim Karr.
At the end of the first book, we witnessed Jasper being handcuffed and taken to jail. While Charlotte's situation is more nerve-wracking. Someone is in her apartment and apparently beat her to hell. Jake is there too but since the door is locked he is unable to help Caroline.
The second book starts with Jasper in court and Charlotte in a hospital. Yes, she was saved. We can't let her die because then where ...more

Following on from the explosive cliffhanger in the first book we are once again thrown straight into the drama, lies, murder, betrayal, love and friendship that fills this little town and the lives of the people who live there, along with following the blossoming and intense romance of Jasper and Charlotte.

I couldn't wait to get my hands on Turn It Up by Kim Karr. Set The Pace, the first book in the Detroit Love Duet ended on a huge cliffhanger. I was dying to finish the rest of the story.
Turn It Up should not be read as a stand alone novel. It picks up where Set The Pace left off.
I am not going to go into great detail about Turn It Up because I don't want to give the readers spoilers for either book. I will say that the Detroit Love duet is a complex romantic suspense that revolves around Det ...more

When I read Kim Karr’s books, they always leave me craving more. And after reading “Set the Pace (Detroit duet series #1)”, I was constantly wondering what to expect next in book 2, “Turn it Up (Detroit duet series #2)”. The first book left us wanting to know more about Charlotte and Jasper, more about the mystery surrounding 'Lightning Motors' (Jasper's automotive plant). And let me tell you that the author gave us an amazing ending with a perfect and beautiful HEA that I r ...more
I have been waiting for Kim Karr's Turn It Up since I finished Set The Pace - wanting to delve back into the world of cars, mystery, love and mayhem in Detroit. And once I opened it I didn't want to stop until I knew it all!

Rev up your engines because Turn It Up by Kim Karr is here!!! Thank God Jasper and Charlotte are back!!!! This book starts where Set the Pace ended. Jasper is arrested and sent to jail for crimes he did not commit. Charlotte is in the hospital fighting for her life. Detroit’s reputation of the 4 C’s continues…crime, corruption, capital and cars. Jasper and Charlotte are victims of this reputation. Jasper is out of control, wild, crazy and mad as hell but ladies, he is also back faster and hotter

It isn't often that I feel like the second book in a series is better then the first, but Turn it Up is the exception to the rule in every way!

Poor Jasper can't catch a break. He thinks he's hit a calm period and then something else comes up that could ruin everything; his dreams and his future that are on the line.
We pick up where we left off in Set the Pace. Both Jasper and Charlotte are facing life changing events. Just when they thought their lives were turning around and working out, someone or something steps in that could jeopardize it all. If only they could figure out who it is.
