I always enjoy this author’s books. Sweet and/or sexy they are always engaging and they always entertain me for a good couple of hours. 'Finding Kyle' was well written and well developed with two main characters I liked from the very beginning, an interesting story line and a lovely romance. In other words – a fantastic read! If you like you heroes to be tortured, yet very sexy and sweet and your heroines delightful in every possible way, then for sure you will want to meet Kyle and Ja ...more

It is fascinating to me how Sawyer Bennett continues to present stories that accomplish so much for her reading public. It is not an easy task to create books and series which on the surface engage a reader with stories easily read and loved. It is one thing to have characters who are smitten, learn about each other, have a base of interest which causes all the other characters to engage and throw in the necessary emotional touchstones so the ...more

Kyle Sommerville has been a quiet background character of Ms. Bennett's and now he has his very own standalone. In Finding Kyle we catch up with Kyle, an ATF agent, while he's in hiding, waiting to testify against the biker gang he was undercover with for years. His handler sends him to Maine where he now has way too much time on his hands and can't escape the thoughts of what he did as part of the gang.

“If you knew who I was, you’d despise me.
I love it when an author takes her readers on a storytelling journey that leaves them with the strong urge to want to throw themselves into that very same storyline and just be a part of everything. From the setting, to these unforgettable characters, you find yourself wishing that you could be one of the best friends to anyone of these characters.

Admittedly, i've been waiting for Kyle Sommerville's story since he saved Maggie and handed her over to Bridger. I was intrigued by this undercover cop thrust into the life of bikies and forced to live their lives. As much as i expected his every response and reaction to Jane, this book was a tad too slow. Absolutely no excitement and the normally sizzling sex scenes were super flat. It had it sweet moments, but there really wasn't much to look forward to. Didn't help that i was a complet ...more

Finding Kyle was such a good read, I didn't want it to end.
The storyline was sweet, hot and very entertaining.
I found Kyle and Jane amusing, endearing and watching them fall in love kept me turning the pages late into the night.
At first I wasn't too sure what to think of Kyle, I found him rude and not very likable. But as I kept reading I found myself starting to like him. The more I saw him with Jane the more he won me over, before I knew it I was in love with this grumpy man lol

I can't remember a time where I give Sawyer Bennett's book less than 3 stars. I think this is the first. There are books that I like less than others but I always found what I was looking for in her books. Unfortunately I can't say the same for Finding Kyle.
Maybe I had high expectations, maybe it was my mood. I don't relly know but it happens.
I wanted this book to be more invested in Kyle's past. I can't believe that after you spend 5 years undercover, you don't have some kind of PTSD that jus ...more

Finding Kyle is the story of an undercover agent who works for ATF and sacrificed the last 5 years of his life acting as a member of Mayhem’s Mission, which is a gang of bikers dealing with drugs and sex slavery. For the greater good, he has done vile things. In order for them to believe that he was one of them, he had to do illegal and cruel things such as giving heroine and drugs to pregnant women or beating people to death along with many acts such as gang bang with the other members while lo

Sawyer Bennett brought. The heat. Back. On. This book is just downright sweet and sexy to the core. It has that touch of forbidden, knowing our hero, Kyle Sommerville, was living on borrowed time hiding out in Misty Harbor. See, Kyle worked as an undercover agent for years, helping to take down a ruthless and dangerous biker gang involved in drugs, illegal firearms and sex slavery. Now that he's got the ball rolling and the investigation is in full swing, as a witness to everything he was immers

I’ve made no secret of that fact that Sawyer Bennett is one of my favourite authors, yet sometimes, there have been a few of her books that haven’t stirred me…at all.
This one was what I would call the “real” Sawyer.
We have met Kyle Sommerville before, a few times, but I have only met him in Wicked Bond, when he rescued the h of the story, Maggie. I adored that, and was delighted to get behind the story of the man that was living a stolen life.

Finding Kyle was a standalone by Sawyer Bennett. For Bennett's loyal readers, Finding Kyle was the conclusion for a man we had gotten curious glimpses of previously.
We had met Kyle Summerville briefly several times. First in Bennett's Last Call series, books four (With a Twist) and five (Shaken Not Stirred). And recently in Bennett's Wicked Horse series during Bridger's story, The Wicked Bond, when he saved Maggie while he was still undercover.

When I found out about this book I was overjoyed to discover that Kyle was ALIVE it never occurred to me that they faked his death (very clever Ms Bennett).

I really enjoyed Finding Kyle I finally got to spend some quality time with this mystery man as I have met me previously in two other books but only getting snippets but here Kyle is laid bare for me discovering more about his three years undercover work and I was not disappointed Kyle is a classic sexy alpha.

The quirky heroine, Jane really made the story came alive. I'm not sure whether is she your cup of tea because she seems very forward and can't take a hint no matter how hard the hero, Kyle tried to rebuff her advances... or rather her friendship. She loves to sprout out movie quotes all the time and I find myself trying to guess some of the movie titles.
Jane is a very refreshing and special kind of heroine. As someone who actually woo her own husband, I can totally appreciate her guts in going ...more

I learned something about myself from this book. I love all kinds of romance. I love the diversity of stories as well as the traditional tropes. But what really gets me, what warms my heart the most, is a hero who self-sacrifices for a greater cause. These books bring me comfort, but also satisfies my heart. Finding Kyle is just this kind of book.

Sawyer Bennett is a genius, and I love her work, this book is no exception. I love that we first met Kyle in the Wicked Bond series very briefly, but enough that he needed his own book to fill in a few pieces and what a treat it is for us. He is a character that I was most looking forward to read.

“Decido che non verrò fin quando non lo farà lei e poi, dopo essere venuto, la farò venire di nuovo. Ma ho bisogno che lei faccia lentamente, perché voglio assaporare ogni secondo. Potrebbe essere la mia unica e sola volta con Jane perché so che la mia coscienza avrà la meglio su di me domani mattina”

“Vorrei dirle che non cambierà nulla, ma visto che sono egoista e voglio questo ricordo di lei più di ogni altra cosa, cedo al desiderio e penetro profondamente nel suo corpo. Una spinta. Una forza vigorosa in tutta quella dolcezza. Un modo di reclamarla come mia, anche se non sarà permanente. È la cosa migliore che abbia mai provato in tutta la mia vita. Per un secondo, penso in realtà di essere stato perdonato da Dio per tutti i miei peccati, perché mi è stato offerto il dono più perfetto che riceverò mai.”
