Kane by L.A. Casey
My rating: 5 of 5 stars.
Aideen Collins is a free spirit. She is outspoken and tough as nails, but she has to be after growing up in a house full of men. Family means everything to Aideen. Her family consists of her four brothers, her father, and her group of wild friends. Aideen is protective of her family, there is not a lot she wouldn’t do to keep them safe.
Kane Slater is a tortured soul. Literally. He is misunderstood by people, even feared by them thanks to the scars that mar his face and body. He relishes in their fear because people who fear you, won’t want to know you. He likes his circle limited to his brothers and their girlfriends, but a thorn from an Irish rose is dug deep into Kane’s side, and her name is Aideen Collins.
Aideen and Kane don’t get along… at all. Aideen is the only woman who stands up to Kane and throws his bullshit back at him without fear of hurting him. Kane is the only man who can see right through Aideen’s tough exterior. He knows her deepest, and darkest secrets. They can’t stand each other, but they want each other. Badly. They hide their need behind arguments, and banter, but when Kane drops his guard for all to see, and succumbs to an illness within his body, it’s Aideen who steps up to the plate to take care of him.
An illness is the least of their worries when a devil from Kane’s past comes back to play with him. Everybody in Kane’s life is threatened, and with his body fighting against him, he doesn’t know if the luck of the Irish is enough to keep his family safe and his demons at bay.Kane
Kane needs Aideen, and what Kane needs, Kane takes.
Kane, the sweet damaged Slater
I really enjoyed Kane’s story. Previous books have shown him to be the enforcer of the family. He is scarred, and dangerous to look at but beautiful when he smiles. He is a loner, but can easily get women when he wants, he was once seen on a date with two women at the movies. Though not even his brothers know the stories of how he got his scars.
Aideen Collins met Kane at the bar when he saved her from ex of Alec’s who got Jealous. Kane and Aideen have had a love-hate relationship since then but they eventually do get together and Aideen gets pregnant so they have to figure out where to go from there. They both want the baby and so they work on trying to build something from there.
I rolled my eyes. “When he sees me in labour it will overshadow some stupid bruise. When I’m screaming in pain, you can feel bad and be fully aware that you’re the cause of it.”
“Jesus, Aideen,” Kane groaned.
“You were on top of me the majority of the time so technically speaking you brought this upon yourself—”
“Don’t finish that sentence, you won’t live to see the birth of your child if you do,” Keela said and held her hands up in warning.
I like this story because it doesn’t just immediately go to her moving in with him. They get to know each other and there are a lot they need to know. He has a lot of secrets and issues. Though he is a good guy and is very deep.
