A wedding engagement is a joyous occasion, right?

Well, I suppose that depends on your perspective.

So, what do you do when someone else’s choice annihilates the future you had counted on?

The answer to that may depend on your membership status at a certain sex club.


Namely 1462 South Broadway.

Sizzling contemporary romance author KC Decker takes readers on a steamy, erotic ride in her fully complete Jessie Hayes Series. All four books are a smoking hot example of how kink and BDSM can be sexy and playful instead of always brooding or deviant.

*****NATIONAL BOOK AWARD WINNING AUTHOR*****
Sizzling contemporary romance author KC Decker takes readers on a steamy, erotic ride in The Jessie Hayes, 4 Book Series. With the release of 945 Cedar Avenue, the collection is complete. The Jessie Hayes Erotic Romance Series is a smoking hot example of how kink and BDSM can be sexy and playful instead of always brooding or deviant.
Series Description:
Jessie Hayes is a woman many can relate to, she is fulfilled in all aspects of her life, yet is constantly disappointed in men.

After yet another failed and painfully boring relationship, Jessie’s friends convince her to try something new, something crazy…something intoxicatingly sexy, and profoundly erotic.

What follows is an exploration of kinky fantasies, taboo desires, and forbidden pleasures. However, the journey isn't as cliché as simply finding the perfect man and living Happily Ever After, because there is far too much story to tell in between.

Follow talented author KC Decker as she takes you on an intensely erotic journey of BDSM, kink, sexual awakenings and ultimately, deep, abiding love.

SALINGER!

I'll admit Salinger is kryptonite! I've loved him since the beginning of the Jessie Hayes series. He's great, maybe not for Jessie, but he's GREAT for me! HA

Salinger finally realized that Jessie is with Silas and that he's not going to play second fiddle. He needs to move on and make his own way in life. Sure, Jessie will always be his friend, but nothing more. As much as this breaks his heart, he knows he needs to find his own happiness. To clear his head of all things Jessie he dives into the club, sleeping around, checking things off his sex bucket list. It's only when he meets Avery does he realize that there can be a happily ever after for him if he plays his cards right.

Avery is running from her own ghosts. A fresh start in a new city, with some new and old friends, is just what she needs. Then she meets Salinger. A man who could destroy her or sweep her off her feet. She has to play her cards right because she knows he is hurting too. Avery knows a good thing when she see's one and isn't afraid to be the pursuer in the relationship. What if he doesn't want her? Baby steps bring them closer, but is it enough for both of them? Can they forge a new path together or will their ghosts keep returning to haunt them?

This book really opens Salinger up. You get to learn more about his past and how he views things in the current. He is a careful and skilled lover, as well as a compassionate man who will take care of his lady any way she needs. You can't help but be drawn to him. He is an alpha in his own right, but knows when to back down and not push things further. MEN take note!!

OMG a whole book from Sallinger's POV! I was iffy about the "hook up" with Jessie's friend Avery but It all works out in the end. I was really wondering how the author was going to give us closure for Sallinger since Jessie and Silas got engaged. Would have chosen Sallinger over Silas a thousand times even after the manwhoring. Happy reading and cold showers.

I can't believe this is the fourth and final book in the Jessie Hayes series. When I got to the end of 945 Cedar Avenue I wanted to cry (figuratively). I did not want the story to end. I wanted more, more and more. But I was glad book four concentrated on the man candy gorgeous Salinger Davis. You need to start with book one, 1462 South Broadway, to get a clear picture of who Salinger is in regard to Jessie's life. Salinger is a humorous and witty man as well as charming and good looking. Salinger's character comes to life in this book. We finally get a look into the soulful world of Salinger. In this story Salinger finds out Jessie is engaged to Silas and he is devastated. He loves Jessie and has always wished she was his. The break in his reality is such that he has to do something to channel the deep dark pain the engagement has caused. At Jessie and Silas's engagement party, Salinger is approached by a beautiful woman named Avery. Salinger gets a mind-boggling BJ from her and then she walks away. In the meantime, Salinger decides to fill his nights with sex at the club. He has a couple of women he has repeat hookups with. He starts to experiment with group sex which includes a guy and a sundry of other things. But when Devin and Corey encourage Avery and Salinger get together, Salinger backs off from Avery. Devin does not understand why. So, Salinger explains that he has been a manwhore using the club as his venue and needs time for a c#ck cleanse. I had to laugh from time to time at the witty remarks Salinger made. Anyway, as luck would have it, Salinger does spend more time with Avery w/o the sex. There is sexual tension between them. Devin told Avery about Salinger's extra-curricular activities. So, she tells Salinger that while he is on his cleanse, they can hang out together. They go on a double date with Devin and Corey. They play racket ball together. Eventually Avery starts to open up to Salinger. He realizes that he wants to open up to her too. They both find it difficult but they persevere. Salinger starts to realize that what he felt for Jessie was nothing like what he feels for Avery. He realizes the difference and knows Avery is the missing piece of his soul. This is such an emotional read. There are times I just had to chuckle at the witty remarks Salinger makes. I loved reading this book and I highly recommend it. I received an Advanced Readers Copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Ladies and gents, I'm happy to announce that Ms. Decker has become a permanent fixture in my life. This entire series is on fire. I love Salinger and I'm so happy that he finally realized how he was obsessing over Jessie for the wrong reasons. He needed to find his own truth and realize that Jessie was in his life for a reason that didn't involve anything romantic. Avery is absolutely perfect for him and I enjoyed reading that the group has become a family. I do wish, however, that he and Jessie actually hashed out his feelings for her instead of sweeping it under the rug but as the book progressed you could tell he was ready to accept that they would never be an item.

The playtime scenes had me clutching my proverbial pearls and left me quite satisfied. Out of all the books in the series, Salinger got to experience the most sexy time and he totally deserved it.

I would love love love to read Corey's and Devin's story. I highly recommend you pick up the series.

Fabulous erotic romance book! I absolutely loved this book, from the storyline, to the characters and to some of the best sensual erotic sex scenes I've ever read. I've always had a soft spot for Salinger and was always rooting for him since the beginning. At one point a little disappointed his love life wasn't where I would have like it to be but in the end I'm glad it turned out this way. I really like Avery's character and what she brought to this book.
This book and this series was beautifully written. I would highly recommend it. I enjoy reading erotica but I enjoy it even more when there's a great story and a beautiful love story which this series delivers in spades!! I would give this series more than 5 stars if I could and i will definitely be reading more more from this author.

KC Decker, 945 Cedar Avenue. (Jessie Hayes, book 4).

As an ARC reader I received this book for free. And promised an honest review. Here it is. English isn’t my first language. Sorry for errors.

Rating: 4,5 stars (of 5).

In general: Well written erotical second chance novel.

Main characters:
- Jessie Hayes.
She works for an oil and gas company negotiating mineral rights. In book 1 and 2 (1462 S. Broadway and 720 Linden Street) she’s introduced in the BDSM scene by her lover Silas. In book 3 (1700 Grant Street)Jessie and Silas come to a happy ending.

- Silas.
Realtor and owner of an exclusive BDSM club: ‘1462 South Broadway’. Has a lovely daughter, Ruby, abondoned by her mother after a short love affair with Silas.

- Salinger.
Living at 945 Cedar Avenue. Good looking colleague of Jessie and trusted friend. Divorced ex soldier with shocking experiences from his Afghanistan tours. Has a crush on Jessie but she’s loyal to Silas.

- Avery.
A flight nurse and an old friend of Jessie. Left Seattle to settle in New York after a break-up with her fiancé.

In this book, (no. 4 in the Jessie Hayes series), we learn how Salinger overcomes his definite loss of Jessie. When he learns that she’s engaged to Silas, Salinger is devastated. A difficult situation: At work they’re busy with the same projects. And he’s very disappointed in Jessie (who gave for a time mixed signals), but both want to keep their friendship. Salinger’s first reaction is: more activities in the BDSM club ‘1462’. And that results in some very interesting sex scenes. But in the long run Salinger realizes that unpersonal BDSM sex, without much commitment, isn’t what he really wants.
At that moment Avery appears in his live. (In a very original, somewhat comical way).
The author KC Decker describes how Avery and Salinger find love without losing their friends while overcoming bad experiences from their pasts. KC Decker is a good story teller who creates more than hot sex scenes. So Avery’s and Salingers activities in paintball, racquetball, Avery’s experiences as a nurse, a naughty cards play, a cabin in the snow and so on resulted for me - again - in a very nice reading experience.

★ No bucket of Ben & Jerry’s for this guy… ★

—>>> This installment is all told from the point of view of Salinger, and we do have followup with what Jessie is going through in her quest for her ultimate HEA, but it definitely means pushing Salinger out of it. We see him hitting emotions of heartbreak and despair as every final and last nursed hope of being more than just a coworker to Jessie Hayes is dashed due to her becoming engaged to Silas. To deal with it all, Salinger willingly dives deep into activities at the club to take his mind off heart, ticking off his sexual bucket list, and maybe losing sight of the man he used to be with the thrill of being wanted for a change. When he meets another of Jessie’s friends, Avery, he soon realizes that she is a woman who deserves much more than he could offer at the moment, due to his heart’s still-fragile state. He may feel alone but he does have Devin and Corey in his corner.

I admittedly have been rooting for Salinger throughout this series, and it is great writing switch being in his head and to read how he works his way through his Jessie problem until it becomes an Avery-Salinger issue. Thrilled that he has found this delicious flight nurse, who appreciates how he treats her and keeps it real for him.

I really hope there are some stories to be had soon about some of the club characters we’ve met, as I love this series and the motley crew of people that are now their own family.

K.C. gets inside the mind of a man and completely relates the story from his perspective. I've never read it done so well before. From the club scene and casual sex, you will wish you were one of his conquests. K.C. is that good at putting the reader right in Salinger's thoughts while keeping the reader right in the action as well.

Salinger is a sexy, flawed character, but K.C. made him empathetic to women, too. He's not a beast, but he is insatiable, once his motor starts to rev. K.C.wrote one of the best intimate scenes I've ever read. Salinger had taken a hiatus from the club while he got to know Avery. He called it a detox. When they finally got together in that special way, the steam rose out of the vents of my Kindle! I was right there with them, if you know what I mean.

945 is the icing on the cake for K.C.'s sexy "Jessie Hayes," erotic romance series. It couldn't have been done better! And to think, K.C. claims this series as the beginning of her published writing career. I can't hardly wait to get into another of her novels. Good thing I bought Little Dove awhile back. Yeah!

This is the fourth book in the Jessie Hayes series and gives Salinger a chance for happiness. He has long been in love with his boss Jessie and is heartbroken over her engagement to Silas and her pregnancy. He tries to distract himself with meaningless sex at the club. This part is rather crude but sets the stage for his romance with Avery. First he needs to overcome his feelings of inadequacy and being degraded by the type of sexual activity he has been having. I would have liked to have read a little more about Jessie and her pregnancy, but the story was fabulous nonetheless. Good book and a great series!

Yay!! Love this!

I am so glad Salinger got his own book! He was always the puzzle piece that just needed to be tilted a little to make this whole series crazy amazing!

I love that we still find out what happens with Jessie, Silas, Devyn and Corey.

Avery is a newbie that rounds out this family perfectly. She’s witty, funny and completely sexy. A perfect fit for the heartbroken Salinger.

I seriously want more from these characters! I finished all four books in 3 days! This was a great read!

this series is so amazing!

KC Decker, you have out done yourself. I loved every second of reading this series. It was freaking fantastic. Salinger’s humor is unmatched. There are so many laugh out loud moments in this book. Salinger is emotional and understanding and sexy as “all get out.” Who wouldn’t love to meet the real life version of him? Avery was the perfect person for him. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this series. I hope you will consider adding to this series. These characters are so well developed and it doesn’t seem as if their stories should be over yet.

This book was all about Salinger instead of Jessie, which was really unexpected. We follow Salinger's life and how he feels after the end of the previous book. We see him develop an interest in Avery, Jessie's friend, which came out of left field. I don't know. I just got thrown off by it being a Jessie series but the wasn't about her at all. I was kind of expecting Salinger to get a fighting chance for Jessie. It was still full of "fun" from the club though, if that's why you're interested in the series.

The best one out of the series!

This book really ties up the series. Though I really, really struggled with the books before this one, I’m happy that the last book paid off for me. Told from Salinger’s point of view, we get a view into his world and he didn’t disappoint. It was funny and sometimes sad, but worth it. The ending wraps up the rest of the gangs lives, so that’s a plus for those who have read the series.

Great continuing story.

There is so much going on in this book that you won’t want to put it down.

There are a lot of heat and a lot of things going on that it feels more real than anything.

This story focuses more on Salinger and less of Jessie and Silas.

The book does end on a bit of a cliff hanger.

Can’t wait for the next one

I received a free ARC via Hidden Gems in exchange for an honest review. My opinion is my own.

I read the previous three books in this series and was slightly disconcerted when I saw that the story shifted from Jessie and Silas to Salinger. However, I wasn't for long. I had a soft spot for this character already so it was nice to see his story as well. As usual the plot was well fleshed out and I could not put it down. Ms Decker produced another winner for sure.

GREAT READ

I LOVE the way this book tied everything together and I LOVE that Salinger got his forever. He FINALLY, after meeting Avery understands what real love is and is on his own beautiful journey. He's no longer empty and detached. Avery fills that void for him that no one else ever could. This is a truly beautiful journey of despair, destruction and the Phoenix Rising From The Ashes.

I love Salinger! He is definitely a man who is worth knowing more than skin deep. I loved his sense of chivalry and his honor of who he collected as family and friends. His tattoos told such a sad but amazing journey. What a great story and I am so glad he got his own.

I read and reviewed a copy of this book.

Will Salinger move on in life?
This is my 4th book by the author and in this series. This story is about Salinger’s struggles with Jessie being with Silas. When his friends try to match him with Avery, he tries to push her away. But will Avery win Salinger over? You have to read to find out and will not want to put the book down until the end.

Great book, great series.

I enjoyed both this book and the series...it started off a little slow in the beginning of the first book. It did pick up and I was not sure what to expect in the third book after starting to read it but it was great and I enjoyed the storylines very much. I will certainly read something else by this author.

Salinger's Time

How can you get over what Jessie did at the party on stage. He knew the stage and the time at the toy stage was because of him. When he saw her ring he lost his breath and felt like his heart would break. But he will persevere and find some one. He finally realized Jessie has who she has and he has shown his worth. Jessie will have Devin and Corey's little girl.

A lot of raw sex. Learned quite a bit! But also, we get a view inside Salinger's head and it is not what I expected. Sweet guy inside with a totally different appearance on the outside. I enjoyed the romance of this.
