| Review Snippets for Shining Victory |
| Shining Victory |
Stacy James survived a life-shattering accusation
to become a successful businessman with a lot to
offer a partner. He's finally put his ghosts to rest,
and is ready for someone in his life, if the right man
comes along.
Young and wild, ace mechanic Levi Wright builds
engines made for speed. When Levi's volatile
temper lands him nose-to-nose with trouble, Stacy
ignores his own rules and steps in to save Levi
from making a big mistake. But Stacy can't ignore
Levi's smoldering sexuality as the younger man
then pursues him.
And Levi has made it clear he's out to get his man.

EXCERPT:
…Levi stood still, motionless, as the light from the window formed a sunburst around him. His blue
eyes searched my face with silent questions, ones I knew, although I was unsure
kiss. I reached out and gave his shoulder a light squeeze. The corner of his sensuous mouth twitched
into a quirky, lopsided smile.
Low and husky, his voice made me shiver with longing. “You think I bite, Stacy James?”
I trailed my hand down his arm and grasped his wrist, pulling him a step closer. “What if I do, puppy?
You don’t know a thing about me.”
The smile on his face widened. His gaze never left mine. “Sure I do. You’re the hottest old man who
ever threw a punch to save my ass.”
I reached out with my other hand and tucked my fingers beneath his belt to yank him against me. Heat
rolled off him in tiny waves, but the skin on his arm prickled with gooseflesh as I ran my fingertips
across it.
“Call me old again, and I’ll show you what old can do.”
Levi licked his lips, taunting me. “So show me…old man.”
I pulled his lips to mine, until they almost touched. “You’re too eager,” I whispered.
His hand cupped my aching balls as his thumb ran across my bulging zipper.
“Eager? Me? You’ve got some nerve calling me eager.”
Quick as lightning, his hand snaked down the front of my jeans…

| Terrific, very romantic, passionate, and sexy...The two main characters are both vividly drawn...The story was well written, with a wonderful plot. There was a great flow to the developing interest between the two men and the gradual revealing of secrets. The sex was intensely romantic and very hot! The ending was very satisfying, romantic, and realistic. I really enjoyed this story and think you will too." --Matthew, Rainbow Reviews |
| ...a great story. Shining Victory is a solid 5 angels for me! Fallen Angel Reviews |

| "5 Hearts!...KC Kendricks gives us a well-crafted tale of two men brought together by a mutual lust and some common interests...A story of hope, humor, and possibilities for the two men. This is one of those tales that help people understand the world of gay men with some great eroticism thrown in." --Dee Dailey, The Romance Studio |

No One But You
(sequel to Shining Victory)
| Levi & Stacy Levi and Stacy hold a special place in the book list. Shining Victory is written from Stacy's point of view. No One But You is from Levi's. It has long been the plan to write another segment from Stacy's pov, but fear of mucking it up as thus far prevailed. Do not abandon hope. It may yet happen. |
