Silent Blade
Silent Blade is the first book in the Kinsmen Universe. I had a good time with this short, but interesting tale. It sure packed a punch, despite its brevity. This installment delivered an enemies to lovers romance set in a unique world with interesting and unexpected turn of events.
Silent Blade introduces Meli and Celino. Meli possesses a unique gift, one which makes her lethal and the perfect assassin. After what she considered being her final assignment, she went into retirement. However, two months into her retirement, her family dangled a carrot, which proved hard to resist. Kill Celino Carvanna, the powerful leader of Carvanna Kinsmen and the man who ruined her.
The story hooked me from the first page and from that moment; I knew it was a winner. Silent Blade was a sweet, fun and sexy read.

Silver Shark
Silver Shark is the second book in the Kinsmen series. This installment focuses on Kinsmen called psychers. The things they can do with their minds will astound you.
The story introduces Claire Shannon, a Kinsman and a psycher. Taken from her mother at fourteen and forced to train and fight in the war between rival corporations. Then the war ends abruptly with her faction on the losing end and now she faces imminent death. To avoid this outcome, she assumed her mother’s identity and masked her abilities. This act resulted in her deportation to a planet named RADA. She suppressed her abilities despite all the probes, but then she was hired as the personal assistant to Venturo Escana, a Kinsman leader and powerful psycher.
This was such a fun read. Excitement, suspense, secrets and sexual tension permeated the pages. The characters from Silent Blade made a brief appearance. It was good catching up with them. It was interesting seeing how the events unfolded. Venturo’s reaction to his discovery of Claire’s secret was priceless. The story wrapped up nicely and left me wanting more of this intriguing world.
A Mere Formality
A Mere Formality. although included in the Kinsmen Universe Anthology, is available to read for free on the author’s website. A short and quirky read, which was written as a joke based on a dare.
This story is based on strategies without the battles. The strategies are based on sexual positions without the action. The details of which were rather funny. An interesting tale with a satisfying outcome.
