Strong

Books, Coffee & Passion
I loved Kylie Scott's Stage Dive series and when I saw that she was writing Sam and Martha's story, even though it's a novella, I knew I had to read it! If you haven't read Stage Dive series, let me tell you, you're missing out!
Honestly, I was excited to read about Sam, but I was still holding a grudge against Martha (Yes, David is my absolute favorite) so I was a little afraid that Martha's personality would ruin this story for me. That wasn't the case at all, I'm actually a little surprised about how much I enjoyed it. Sam is GOLD! Intense, smart, manipulative, strong, sweet, sexy, he's irresistible! Martha is not the most likable heroine, she's definitely different after a few years but she still is herself. She's still catty, impulsive and prickly, however she did soften her act and she tried to make a few amends. Sam has had feelings for Martha forever and now Martha's back with her brother, taking care of her nephew and Sam is just biding his time... Martha is hugely attracted to the quiet, intense bodyguard that sees right through her act and this red hot burning attraction is getting harder and harder to ignore...
Sam and Martha are opposites but they complement each other perfectly, I loved their amazing chemistry, the moments we get with David and Ev, Mal and Anne, Jimmy and Lena, Ben and Lizzy and their son Gibson, the hilarious moments between Gibson and Martha are also amazing and I really loved Sam's straightforwardness.
Strong is a great addition to this series and it made me wish for a, very possible, spin-off.
