3 ⭐⭐⭐ - OK decent reads.
=======================

All of my life, I’ve been teased or treated as an outcast because I’m never good enough. I’m either too fat, too shy, too quiet, too smart...too much of something. So, maybe it’s not that I’m not good enough.

Kynlee was an aspiring lingerie model so you can imagine what kind of body she has. Jaxx and Ace both look amazing and then there’s me...the fat girlfriend or at least that’s how I feel.

I roll over and I’m hit with a face full of Poppy’s hair.
“Why in the hell is she here?” she asks, pointing at sleeping Poppy. I sigh and sit up. “Last night ran over a little too late.” Kosi scoffs. “Disgusting.”

Poppy was from Brazil, an exotic beauty coming up in the modeling world.

Why are you freaking out anyways? You’re with Poppy and it’s been a few years.”

It’s been almost three years and there hasn’t been a single word between myself and Ace or Kynlee that involved Jaxx.

You saw all those perfectly plastic and airbrushed women and you felt like you couldn’t compare.

“From what I’ve seen on the internet and read in magazines, Jaxx has moved on just fine without me.” I cross my arms over my chest defensively.

He’s with Poppy and I have Ronin. Sometimes the things we thought were meant to be...aren't.”

“What do you expect? It’s always been ‘what’s that hot guy doing with that fat chick’,” she tells me. I step forward, the distance between us gone. “Not for me it wasn’t. I’d fight the world for you.”

Seeing Ronin today, in all of his naked glory, clearly flirting with the model and treating me in a condescending manner put things in a new perspective for me. Maybe, those tabloids and reports weren’t all wrong.

“I can’t cheat on him.” He sighs. “I’m pretty sure you already did.”

Ronin’s nostrils flare in anger. His hazel eyes are merely slits. “You’re breaking up with me? Who do you think you are? I can replace you with the snap of my fingers.”

“Good, then you should do that. Good luck with everything. Bye Ronin.”

Then there’s the problem I have to deal with once we get home. Poppy. We may not have an actual relationship, but I still need to make it clear that whatever we had going on between us is done and over. She’s not going to like it.

Jaxx is lying on his stomach, naked next to Poppy who also seems to have no clothes. Every emotion possible runs through my body in a flash. I don’t even have time to process one of them before my eyes begin to burn. How could he do this?

“Then you fight like hell for her. You don’t give up on the people you love.”
Kenndrix’s own insecurities make her push Jaxx out of her life. Now they are working together.
For Jaxx she has always been the one.... can he convince her, she’s the one for him?
I loved their story as well as catching up with old friends in this book.
As A huge fan of this author, she never disappoints, this is truly where she shines, with characters only she can write life into !
I definitely recommend this book !
Well done Stephanie Nichole!

Oh, how I loved Kenndrix. She had so much anxiety and worry to work through, yet she was a rock for everyone else in her life. She convinced herself that she was only worth scraps of time and affection and allowed herself to be pushed around until her lost love came barreling back into her life. And though Jaxx was a complete jerk at times with the barbs meant to elicit something or anything at all from Kenndrix, he also wanted more than ever to be the man in her life. So he took whatever time or smiles available, hoping that Kenndrix would pick him.

Kenndrix’s evolution from wallflower to strong enough to let herself be noticed and loved was a wonderful thing. I also really liked the fact that she and Jaxx both tried to move on, even if their hearts weren’t in it for anyone else. That type of equal opportunity attempt to heal makes this a great read right off the bat for me. This author seems to have a knack for some unexpected actions with her characters, and this book definitely lived up to my expectations for Kenndrix and Jaxx and the love they deserved!

Another gem from Stephanie Nichole. This book was full of so much heart I felt every word. Kenndrix and Jaxx were in love. The issue was Kenndrix didn't love herself and Jaxx couldn't prove his love to her. So that's where their story ended...or so they thought. Years later they both have changed, but their hearts haven't. Kenndrix is a producer and Jaxx is a stunt man. He ends up working on one of her movies. The attraction is still there. And so are the scars from the past. Kenndrix agrees to one weekend. Jaxx has to see if he can show Kenndrix that he loves who she truly is. But Kenndrix insecurities aren't the only thing in the way. Both of them have ex lovers that don't want to let go, no matter how bad they are for them. Talk about a messy situation. This story has so much that readers need to experience. It's a story about second chances, true love, the truth of the heart, and also loving yourself and accepting love from others. I loved it. And I can't wait for more in this addictive series.

Oh but this book!!

I love the way Stephanie weaves the two separate worlds together. This is the second book in the Furiously Fast series but it also ties in with the James Brothers series! I absolutely love it.

It’s like it picks up where those left off but are totally different yet are all on the same page, if that makes sense! That’s why I love her books! Always keeping me on my toes lol.

Kenndrix, another beautiful name for a beautiful person. I loved her from the moment I was introduced to her in Breaking The Limits. She was my kinda girl! Shy but fierce, lost in herself to help better herself. When she had that revelation and knew it was time for a change, that did thins to my heart! I loved it!

Jaxx is every girls dream! Who doesn’t want a man that believes in second chances AND NEVER fell out of love with you? Tell me? It didn’t make him any less of a man because he still wanted the girl of him dreams. If anything, it made him hotter!

My new fave quote courtesy of Jaxx... “I’ve loved you forever, I’ll love you forever more.” I can’t even deal it’s so beautiful!!!

Second chance romances are always my thing but this book has me questioning that!

[Tara · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was an exceptional second chance romance that had me captivated from page. I felt all of their emotions; the happiness, the loss, the heartache, the fear and excitement, the longing and their love for each other. Who doesn't want a second chance at that first amazing love? This was such an emotional and beautifully written book. The chemistry between Kendrixx & Jaxx sizzled throughout this wonderful read. Do yourself a favor...read this book. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy of this book.

Dangerous Curves is a second chance at love story. Kenndrix and Jaxx have been in love since highschool, but once they start working, Jaxx become a stunt man in movies and Kenndrix feels she's not good enough for him. She's insecure of her looks apparently by being bullied in her early years.

They went their separate ways but Jaxx never stoppt loving her. After a few years apart, fate brings them together and he makes everything in his hands to wing her back.

Overall it was a good story, but Kenndrix was not my favorite heroine. Me being a curvy girls myself, do not identify with her. Also what happens at the end with Poppy and them felt not necessary.

[Maribel Palazuelos · Rating 5 out of 5]

I liked this book cause it was obvious that this two loved each other, I especially like how Jaxx loves Kenndrix the way she is and how sweet he is with her, always trying to make her see herself as the beautiful woman she is.
I got mad with Kenndrix sometimes cause she didn’t want to accept how beautiful she is and that Jaxx loves her and want to be just with her but I have some of the same traumas as her so I was actually mad with myself cause I do the same.
The book is easy to read and has some throwbacks to when they started dating and I think that’s really helpful cause it helps us understand a little bit more about their relationship.

[E&A Book · Rating 5 out of 5]

A fantastic second chance romance that gives you all the feels. Kenndrix and Jaxx loved each other, but when she pushed him away, things went bad. Years later they are working together and the sparks fly once again. Watching as they fall back in love, fight through insecurities and misunderstandings, had me hooked from beginning to end.

[Lisa Tantsits · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another amazing book in the Furiously Fast Series! I loved Kenndrix and Jaxx story! Kenndrix is so real and I love how she works so hard on her insecurities. She is so relatable and you can feel her emotions easily. It’s so refreshing to have a male character be so honest with his feelings and do everything he can to prove them. I can’t wait for the next book in this series!

[Chasity · Rating 5 out of 5]

I adore Stephanie’s writing and her characters. They are always relatable and I adored Kenndrix! Another great read from an amazing author!

[Melissa · Rating 5 out of 5]

I absolutely enjoyed this book! The HEA is about as sweet as it gets. But, the my favorite part is watching kenndrix grow into herself, through self acceptance. We all have the voices in our heads that can make our thoughts whirl with self doubt. Watching her grow in front of my eyes was heartwarming. Thank you for the opportunity to read this ARC.

BORING AS FUCK

[Pat Labrie · Rating 5 out of 5]

I absolutely loved Jax and Kenndrix story. It's relatable and you will love the characters.

[Sonia · Rating 5 out of 5]

This story was beautifully and so emotional! Kenndrix was such a relatable character full of insecurities and uncertainty in areas of her life both mentally and emotionally. Jaxx was the love she needed. This was a second chance at love after so much pain and loss of their relationship and what could have been. The chemistry is always there but they need to be in a place in their lives where they are ready for that love... omg all the angst!! I loved this story soooo hard!

[Stacy Curtice · Rating 5 out of 5]

Second Chance stories are my favorite! A second chance with lovable characters is twice as good. This is the second book in this series so don’t forget to read the first.

[Lizzi · Rating 5 out of 5]

A great story between Kenndrix and Jaxx. I love that as this story evolves and the characters mature and deal with their issues. Loved it!!!

[Brandi · Rating 5 out of 5]

Insecurity can tear you apart one word at a time. That self doubt that consumes you each time you give into the words someone else voices. This story spoke to me and the damage we can do to ourselves. I absolutely loved the chemistry between Jaxx and Kenndrix and how they got their second chance.

[Lynn Stifle · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a phenomenal second chance romance and I was hooked from the first page. Jaxx and Kenndrix have been in love forever, but Kenndrix pushed him away because of her insecurities. When years later they are working together they realize they never stopped loving each other and sparks fly. I absolutely adored both Jaxx and Kenndrix. An incredible addition to this series and one I definitely recommend.

[Ninia · Rating 5 out of 5]

this is a great story of second chances. i totally can relate to Kendrix' insecurities, being on the bigger side, too. thanks for this great read Stephanie! i so love it! ❤

[Kayla Pocernich · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a great second chance romance read. Kenndrix and Jaxx have been in love with each other forever. Kenndrix pushed him away when her insecurities got the best of her and Jaxx was stunned that she pushed him away after everything that they have been through. Years have gone by and they see each other for the first time and they both realize that they never stopped loving each other. They end up working together and they fall back in love, and they work through the insecurities that Kenndrix has. This book had me hooked from the very first page and I couldn't put this book down and it was great addition to this series.

[Rachel · Rating 5 out of 5]

I just finished Dangerous Curves and what a great read by Stephanie Nichole. I thoroughly enjoyed this book that takes you on an emotional ride with Jaxx and Kenndrix as they reconnect after years apart. I’m so happy to finally have their story after meeting them earlier in the James Brothers Series. There was never a dull moment and I couldn’t put the book down.

[Zoey Day · Rating 5 out of 5]

Dangerous Curves:
I seriously love how Jaxx tried to make Kenndrix realize he loved her for her.
I understand where Kenndrix is coming from with not feeling like she was enough because of her curves and from being bullied.
Again the flashbacks make it feel like you are there! I love the fact that he never stopped caring about her.
They were definitely meant for each other!
Another wonderful story!
