Review: When it's cold and you're trapped having a hot guy protect you is pretty cool! The book is set first at a mountain retreat for the wedding of Brittany's friends. Something bad then happens (I don't want to spoil it because what makes the book great is its surprises and shocks). Brittany meets Coen who is set to protect her. Cupcakes and tea bring this couple closer with a lot of thrilling twist in turns.

This is my first book by Kennedy Layne while probably not the smartest idea to jump in mid series I think I caught up ok though I don't know the nitty gritty of the ongoing investigation. It runs on a bigger scope the search for a serial killer on the loose. This particular installment may or not be separate yet to be determined if it has an effect on the whole picture. It ticks all the things I like about romantic suspense, story, action and the banter. In this case a strong silent hero and a o

Good series
I’m really enjoying this series. It’s full of suspense and intrigue. When each of the SSI agents find love it’s because of a serial killer who’s targeting innocent victims. This book was no exception. I can’t wait for the conclusion to this story

Honest Intentions by Kennedy Layne
“protector turned lover, 5 stars”
This is my second read of Layne’s and once again I highly enjoyed it. I was taken on this murder suspense mystery and in the end got some answers. If you’ve read any of this series before you know they are on the hunt for a serial killer who escaped from prison. Well that still stands even by the end of this story, but you do meet a new murderer. I honestly didn’t see what happened happening before it did.

Loved it!
I was not sure I was going to like Coen. But as it turned out I liked him a lot. He is kind of uptight and rigid until finally he losens up as he lets Brett in a little. The search for Moss continues and becomes closer to SSI. I am so excited to see what happens next Loved Kaylea! Write on.

What rock have I been living under? I mean how is Honest Intentions the first book I've ever ready from Kennedy Layne?!? Especially since romantic suspense is my absolute favorite type of book to read. I will say that since this is the first book in the series I read, it was a hair confusing at first to keep all the players and terms straight. But once I got into the guts of the book, it all flowed together and made sense. Holy chilling intensity! I was guessing whodunit from page one.

This was my first venture into Kennedy Layne’s writing and I’m kicking myself for not diving in sooner. Without knowing the back history from the other books, it took me a few chapters to get completely invested. Once I was though, I was all in!

Kennedy Layne wrote another great book! Honest Intentions keeps following the story of the psychotic serial killer, Shepherd Moss, and the awesome alpha men of the private investigations company SSI. Honest Intentions is Coen's story, and he meets his match in Brettany Lambert. I love watching the strong female characters take on the men, and there are lots of serious and funny moments in the book. The other investigators pop in to help and harass each other. Coen and Brettany get their happily

Brettany Lambert is a small town teacher whose live is turned upside down when her friend is murdered...
Coen Flynn works for the SSI team, and has been protecting Brettany from a serial killer, but is it the right killer?
A great book with intrigue and thrills galore. Brettany seems like a perfect person, and Coen is her dark side.
I loved the book, it perhaps isn't a full blown romance but there is definitely a romance element.
Not a sizzler but a great read and a change from the average romance. ...more

The Queen of Security delivers again.
Coen is up and I wasn't disappointed in he and Brett's Turk. Coen is the alpha male all wrapped up.
As Moss's twisted,evil game ups it's ante there's another two deaths and they are well constructed.
I could gush and gush but won't give anything away.

We are getting closer to the serial killer. Seems he is always one step ahead of our team. What we think is the serial killer's MO is actually a farce. Not only are we surprised to find out who this killer is and why we are also surprised by the guy that is so much worse sneaking in.
