NEW RELEASE & REVIEW: Mend by Kivrin Wilson






Mend by Kivrin Wilson


PAIGE

Logan McKinley. My ex. I knew he was trouble from the first moment I laid eyes on him.

Fresh out of law school with a new job at one of San Diego’s biggest firms, I was supposed to focus on my career. No distractions, no men, and especially no office romances.

Then I met Logan. He was cocky, smooth-talking, and gorgeous—a hotshot associate on the fast track to a partnership and exactly the kind of guy I needed to avoid.

But he was relentless. He pursued me, intrigued me, and seduced me. And when I had no defenses left, my ambitions shifted, and I only wanted him.

For a while, that was enough. 

But no one’s perfect. The man who put a ring on my finger isn't who I thought he was, so I left. 

Now he’s back in my life, and he’s pushing me into a corner. It’s time to show him how hard I can push back.

LOGAN

“It’s over.”

When those words came out of her mouth, I wasn’t surprised. What I didn’t expect was how damn near impossible it’s been to move on.

The first time I saw Paige Waters, the new associate at my firm who was as intelligent and self-confident as she was stunning, I wanted her. I wasn’t used to women rejecting me, but she did—or tried to, anyway—which made me even more determined to have her.

I had no idea that when I finally got her, I wouldn’t want to let her go. 

But I screwed up. She doesn’t even know how badly I screwed up, and everything still went to hell.

Now, one year after our split and with so much still unresolved between us, we’re suddenly going head to head on the same case. Seeing her at the office again, where it all started, I realize that this is far from over. 

She's still mine. 

And whether it's in the courtroom or the bedroom, I always win.




Caroline's Review

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐



This was a fantastic, moving, second chance romance!

"From the moment I became aware of his existence, I knew in my gut that he could cause me grief. I was right."

When Paige Waters left her husband, Logan McKinley, she felt a measure of relief. However, one year on and they are still married and haven't resolved their legal issues. When they are thrown together on a case, Logan decides to try and break their stalemate and resolves to win her back, but there's too much history between them, and too much water under the bridge to easily mend what's broken between them.

This was a fantastic story charting the history of Paige and Logan. The timeline moves back and forth between the past and the present, as their lives are dissected and scrutinised, and we learn how they got together and what broke their marriage.

Paige is ambitious, independent, and a tough nut to crack. We learn that she gave up a lot for her life with Logan - not necessarily through conscious decisions made but rather through happy circumstance. Logan is equally ambitious but so struck by Paige, her beauty and her personality, that he works hard to win her for himself. However, when life throws curveballs, and work is still a large focus of his life, the important things get sidelined. His own fears and nature also encroach on their happiness, until Paige can't stand it anymore.

"The easiest way to remind her how completely and unquestionably she belonged to me was to touch her."

This story was super sexy, so angsty, a little bit humorous, and very moving. The chemistry between the two characters was tangible and heavy. They are well-matched intellectually, as well as physically. The cameo characters were a mixture of cute, annoying, funny and heart-warming! 

I really loved the first book in this series, Bend, and loved this one just as much.
