i recently was "turned on" to the kathleen turner series by tiffany a. snow. the first book, no turning back, was a kindle freebie, and i finished it within a day. i downloaded the next two, turn to me, and turning point, the very next day. i ended up breezing through the whole series in 3 days, as i literally could not put them down. the books are categorized as romantic suspense, a genre i wouldn't say i've touched before, but exactly as described. the characters are real, entertaining, and flawed. the plotlines are exciting, dramatic, over the top, and action-packed. the author has a way of making you laugh out loud while also depicting some very serious topics, more serious than expected at first glance. spice it up with some sexy scenes, and you've got a recipe for an all-nighter... or two... or three.
as with all of my guilty pleasure books, there is the presence of a complicated love triangle (of course), and actually THE best love triangle i've ever seen developed. normally, i have a strong inkling about which team i want to jump on, but i keep vacillating between the main character's relationships with each guy. at this point, i'm unsure who the main character is going to choose, or even if she will be choosing either. the characters and relationships are layered and complex, so much so that i haven't been able to get them out of my head... and have started re-reading the series again from book one, if only to keep the connection i've developed for them going.
book 4, out of turn, is currently in the works, and there is going to be a fifth book to finish out the series. i honestly can't wait.. to be turned on again.
