(Gone Wild #1)

All Kendall Barnes wants is a nice relaxing cruise to reconnect with her friends from college. Instead, they’re mistakenly booked on a singles’ cruise. Despite this series of unfortunate events, Kendall is determined to follow through on her original plan… At least until she meets a gorgeous stranger who might just be enough to tempt her into breaking all her rules.

Kendall is mortified when she realises the calm and relaxing cruise she book for herself and 4 of her college friends is actually a party cruise for singles. So much for spending their days by the pool quietly catching up. It might just be the best mistake she's ever made though since it brings Alex into her life. The last thing workaholic Alex wanted was a holiday but his grandfather booked this cruise for him and his best friend in the hopes that Alex would finally start to unwind and forget a

Kissing Kendall is part 1 of the Gone Wild series. I love this type of series were several authors write about a particular event or group of friends. This series doesn’t have to be read in any order. The authors do a good job not spoiling the outcome of the other characters.
Kendall is the leader coordinator of her group of friends. Instead of going on a relaxing cruise they get booked on a singles cruise were anything goes. Kendall is a bit high strung but well meaning. She feels personally res ...more

Otay y'all I wasn't sure what I really thought about Kendall at first she is so high strung lol. She accidently books her and her college friends on a singles cruise instead of her nice relaxing cruise. When she meets Alex he is as much a workaholic as she is so there both kinda high strung. They definitely have some chemistry and daring moments through out. When Kendall abruptly has to leave they both almost blow it I was surprised that they stayed apart as long as they do. Im glad in the end A

Kendall is supposed to be on a relaxing cruise with her friends. Except it's not a "relaxing" cruise, it's a singles cruise. Yep...
But then she meets Alex and he brings out her until now dormant bad girl instincts and suddenly that singles cruise is looking WAY UP! But what happens when the cruise is done? Will they go onto a long distance relationship? What about when she has to bail early for a family emergency? Will Alex let go of his pride and go get his woman?
This is a fun, really sexy ...more
Super cute and hot novella length romance!
The first book in the Gone Wild series and it was so fun! Kendall, usually the uptight, organised member of the friendship group has accidentally book her friends on a wild party singles cruise. Shocked at what she's done, she meets Alex, who is about as excited to be on the cruise as she is. Alex has left his bar for a weeks vacation and is terrified something is going to happen whilst he's away. When he meets Kendall, their attraction is instant and th ...more

The cruise Kendell and her friends are on turns out to be a singles cruise - not what she planned on. She ends up meeting Alex, though, and their fling has the potential for so much more.
Kendall and Alex have a quick, strong attraction and were cute together. The set up with unintentionally ending up on the singles cruise was entertaining.
A fun, quick read that kicks off the new Gone Wild series which has each book written by a different author.

Kendall is wound so tightly I am surprised she didn't snap when she first set foot on the ship. She is the planner, the one who takes care of everyone else, so when she realizes she made a mistake booking a singles cruise she is teetering on the edge of an epic freak out.
When Alex spots her from across the deck for the first time as she is realizing what happened, he sees someone who screams "high maintenance" and "run, don't walk, in the opposite direction". Their first speaking encou ...more

This is the first book in this series. This book follows the story of Kendall and Alex. The characters have amazing connection and attraction between them, You can feel there instant connection from the beginning of the book. This is a sizzling hot read. This is a really good story and I loved everything about it. This author has a fab way of bringing you an amazing story.

Two homebodies meet in the most unlikely of places, a singles cruise. Kendall is on board because she’s meeting up with college friends and Alex is sent by his grandfather to get him out of his rut. This is a fun, sometimes silly and totally sexy romp. Dive in and enjoy.
I loved Kendall and Alex so much! She’s a somewhat innocent girl who embraces her inner vixen quite nicely! He’s an absolute sweetheart, who knows what it’s like to be bad, but is oh so good! Together, they burned up the pages while romancing me with their love story!
Charming contemporary
I just love Katee Roberts so much that I would read her grocery list🙃 this book was so delightful!! Alex and Kendall are just so darn cute, & I loved the exhibitionism😈 more from Katee!!!!!

This was a fun quick read about friends who accidentally go on a singles cruise and find love along the way. Kissing Kendall is the first in the series and sets up the rest of the series. I enjoyed the book, but feel that the ending was a little abrupt and took me out of the story.
Kendall and Alex make quite the couple. Both are in desperate need of a vacation, and they both need to loosen up. Alex is a reformed bad boy, who knows how to have a good time even if he hasn't been doing so for quite some time, and Kendall is rather innocent until her inner exhibitionist rears its head. These two tiptoe around the whole romance thing for much of the story, but darned if they don't have a steamy good time anyway. There is some angst, including dealing with the loss of a loved o

This was a really good read for being a novella length and part of a multi-author series. I don't get a great reader experience from these kinds of series because there are invisible walls between characters where the authors are not coordinating enough to make it feel like a full world. Just one author's book and another's living side by side not intertwined.
The characters were good. I was very put off my high stung, high maintenance Kendall at first but she did quickly open up with ou ...more

Magic of Alex and Kendal.
Connections and amazing attraction are happening before they even speak a word to each other. You can almost feel their instant connection the moment their eyes lock. Love a first site? A vacation fling? Can all this equal a HEA for a slightly neurotic rule follower and a commitment fearing control freak with abandonment issues?
Alex has total bad boy written all over him from the beginning. He does not want to be on this singles cruise and is forced to by his meddling g ...more

Kendall Barnes was mortified. She'd carefully organized a vacation for her best friends, knowing they could all use a relaxing getaway. She very specifically had NOT gone for a "party cruise" but from the near-orgy on the deck even before the ship left port, she'd made a serious miscalculation somewhere along the line.
Alex Jeffries wasn't thrilled to be on board either. Not a fan of the party scene, he'd much rather be behind the bar at his place, Pop's. Instead, his grandfather had strongarmed ...more

4 1/2 STARS!
Explosive chemistry right from the start! With the kick-off book in the highly anticipated Gone Wild series, Katee Robert brings us Kendall's story in KISSING KENDALL. The heat between these two is off the charts and their story was a lot of fun to read. I did feel there was a noticeable lack of interaction between the friends which is the only thing that would have made the book feel even more complete.

Of the four books I’ve read in this series, Kissing Kendall is my favorite. I felt the most connection personally to the characters, as well as their chemistry with each other.
Kendall is the organizer of this cruise with her college friends, and being a bit of a homebody, she’s appalled that she accidentally booked them on a singles cruise. Alex is pretty much forced to take this cruise, so it’s more than a little outside his workaholic comfort zone as well.

Kendall makes the mistake of booking a single's cruise for her & some of her college friends, and honestly, it's the best thing she ever did. Alex hates every minute of this cruise & time off, as all he does is worry about his bar back home (he didn't book it himself), until he lays eyes on Kendall, and all of a sudden, his focus shifts. See, these two have chemistry in spades, and it's magnified since there aren't a lot of places to get away on a cruise, so the heat is even more leveled up. The

What Kendall thought was going to be a fun cruise to spend some time with her besties from college takes a turn when they find themselves on a singles cruise. What started out as a mistake could be the best thing that ever happened to her when she meets Alex.
A single’s cruise is the last place that Alex wants to be as he would much prefer being back at home rather than worrying about all the problems that could be happening at the pub he owns when he won’t be there to handle them. Meeting Kendal ...more

Katee Robert kicks off the Gone Wild series with Kissing Kendall. This is the first in a five book series with each book by a different author. In KR's installment we meet Kendall, one of a group college friends reconnecting on a cruise. The friends find themselves mistakenly booked on a singles cruise. Add in Alex, a workaholic that can't help but think of everything that can go wrong with the bar he owns back home. I loved the chemistry between Kendall and Alex. Add in the singles cruise

Kendall had a great idea for her and 4 of her friends - they'd have a reunion on a cruise and spend their days relaxing and catching up. But things go awry because little did she know that they are on a party cruise for singles! Non-stop partying and people on the prowl is what she's gotten instead, but it works out for her in the best way possible.
Alex, her romantic counterpart, didn't want to be on this cruise at all, but his grandfather booked it for him so he'd take a break and unwind and l ...more

Kissing Kendall is the first book in the Gone Wild series. Friends from college get together to go on a cruise. They thought they were going on a relaxing vacation. Turns out it’s a single party cruise. But one by one(book by book) they find romance.
Kendall meets Alex and they have a instant chemistry that she literally runs from. They spend more time with each other then the people they came with. Which is why I can’t wait to read the next book! This was a fun quick read! I will Definitely rea ...more

This is book one of the Gone Wild series written by different authors. College friends in up on a party cruise over the nice relaxing one they thought they were on. Kendall is mad and is the up tight one of the group. She meets Alex who is not wanting to be on the cruise either but they meet and learn they have chemistry and common childhoods. There is most just a lot of sex, and their story put not much on the others. There is a little background and ending that's not so happy, but needed more

Kissing Kendall is the first book in the Gone Wild Series (5 books total) and it was thoroughly entertaining!
When Kendall realizes that her group was accidentally signed up for a singles cruise instead of a nice and relaxing one, let's just say that she was absolutely horrified! When she meets Alex, sparks fly like crazy. This book is crazy hot and full of amazing chemistry.

Holy hotness. The chemistry between Kendall and Alex is incredible and the sexy time scenes are awesome. I mean you will need some cold showers after reading it for sure. This is a quick fun read about a group of friends who accidentally book a singles cruise. This is the first of five. There is a little bit of a twist at the end that gets you in the gut a bit but it all ends on a happy note. Excited to read the rest of the books in the series.
